Various darts and hidden weapons flew towards the elegantly dressed girl from different directions.
Wendy glanced at the raven with pity, then continued eating.
Bronya also shook her head and sighed deeply.
Oh no, another random passerby is about to be harmed.
In contrast to them, Raven smiled.
"Successful."
She had been setting things up since the beginning, setting up several traps while talking to the other party, who seemed completely unaware.
Excellent, this is enough to make the opponent suffer a great loss.
Just as she raised her claws, excitedly preparing to press her advantage, her expression suddenly turned ugly.
Where are my darts?
Even if her opponent reacted in time and used a sharp weapon to defend himself, there should have been a clanging sound of metal clashing!
What's going on now? It just vanished without a trace? Unless...
"Miss Raven, are you looking for these toys?"
The girl rubbed her delicate pink fingers together, and a row of darts appeared in her hands.
At that moment, the raven's blood-red eyes widened instantly.
What did she see? Her darts were all caught by her bare hands in the blink of an eye?
The raven rubbed its eyes, and after confirming that it wasn't seeing things, it swallowed hard.
After just one exchange, she was able to confirm that her opponent was far superior to her in terms of the speed of their movements.
No, although 100,000 taels of gold is indeed very tempting, saving my life is the most important thing right now.
The raven made a quick decision and threw the dart again.
When the enemy resisted, she suddenly pushed off with her feet and leaped onto the roof with her lithe figure.
She didn't have time to see what was happening behind her, and used the cover of darkness to weave through the dark alleys.
After running for an unknown distance, the raven landed in a corner, then clutched its chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She had no doubt about her decision; after all, even if you were alive to earn 100,000 taels of gold, you had to be alive to spend it, right?
Moreover, there's a high probability that they won't earn it.
Having worked as an assassin for so many years, she still has a thorough understanding of the basic rules.
If you encounter a task you can't do, leave immediately without hesitation.
Raven was glad she made the decision. She took out her water bottle from her waist, unscrewed the cap, and planned to take a few sips of water to calm herself down.
"Hey! Miss Raven, I've been waiting for you for ages! Why are you so slow? Did you just arrive?"
puff~
The woman choked on the water she had just drunk, and water even filled her nasal cavity.
She stared incredulously at the haired girl so close to her.
This is the first time to date that anyone has been able to keep up with her speed in the dark.
The raven gritted its teeth and leaped away again.
This time, she chose a more complicated route, winding and circuitous.
Watching Miss Raven leave, Xingyue rested her hand on her cheek, her beautiful eyes shining with the color of the blue sky in the darkness.
"Oh my! Are you going to play cat and mouse with me? How interesting."
After saying that, she licked her pink lips for a week, then disappeared in an instant, reappearing several kilometers away.
The hooded woman dared not relax for a moment this time. Her nerves were constantly on edge, sensing the movement around her. Due to the long period of running at full speed, her legs felt sore.
Fortunately, I haven't been able to sense my opponent's movements for a long time, so I guess I've shaken them off.
Even so, Raven still intended to keep running towards the forest outside the city, and she wouldn't stop for a moment unless she was completely exhausted.
"Miss Raven~"
"Varied?"
The woman trembled and before she could react, she felt her slender waist being tightly embraced. As she ran at high speed, the sudden weight caused her to lose her balance.
The two were entangled together, rolling around countless times along the way. The roof tiles were severely damaged, and from a distance, the missing roof tiles looked like a path.
bang~
The speed finally slowed down, and the two women crashed into the wall together.
Along the way, the raven kept trying to scratch its opponent's skin with its sharp fingertips.
No matter how she tried, she couldn't break through the opponent's defenses. Although the skin looked well-maintained, its defensive capabilities were astonishing.
As it prepared to get up, the raven's face contorted in pain.
She suffered such a huge impact that she broke several of her ribs.
"Miss Raven, are you still running?"
The girl looked down at him, but the raven, covered in wounds, could no longer stand up.
She shifted her gaze to the side.
"Go ahead! You've won."
To die by the sword of an opponent more skilled than oneself—for an assassin, that is a fitting end.
There's nothing to regret; she was prepared for this when she started out in the world of crime.
"Oh?"
The girl raised an eyebrow, looked down at the woman's beautiful figure, her gaze suddenly sharpened, and she stepped on the raven's broken ribs.
"Ah~"
The raven coughed up a mouthful of blood, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.
"You~you~"
"oops!"
Star Moon watched its prey struggle with great pleasure, twisting its foot on the raven's wound.
"Don't you think that for someone like you, a fate worse than death is the cruelest punishment?"
Chapter 98: Stargazing: If such a person could be used by the empire...
That night, the entire alley was filled with screams and howls of agony.
The next day, all the Stargazers saw was the raven being held by Star and Moon.
The beautiful face hidden under the hood was contorted with a grotesque expression, foaming at the mouth, as if she had suffered some inhuman torture.
Upon seeing this scene, the stargazer's legs, encased in white stockings, trembled involuntarily.
This woman is terrifying; she actually tormented a seasoned professional assassin who frequently risked his life and death to this extent.
Even the most skilled interrogators in the royal family couldn't do that, could they?
wow~
Scattered debris filled the store floor as Yae Sakura and Miss Yae appeared before the crowd.
Miss Yae jumped to the side of the stargazer, panting heavily, while holding her knife and keeping a watchful eye on Yae Sakura, who was not even out of breath.
The assassin placed his hand on the hilt of Sakura Fubuki's sword, his tall and proud figure moving closer to her step by step. This shrine maiden, who also had fox ears like her, was approached by the assassin, who placed his hand on the hilt of Sakura Fubuki's sword.
They fought all night, and the longer they fought, the more obvious Yae-sama's disadvantage became. In this battle, Yae-sama appeared to be struggling, while Yae Sakura was very composed.
It can be said that if Yae Sakura had murderous intent, then Miss Yae's life would already be in danger.
"So, Miss Yae, are you still going to try and stop us?"
Xingyue swept her hair behind her back and then threw the raven in front of Miss Yae.
That means if you don't know what's good for you, you'll end up like the raven.
Miss Yae glanced down at the terrible state of her face under the hood, and her expression changed.
"Very well, I have done my best. Since Lord Guanxing has chosen to stay with you, I can only trust you this once."
Bang~
Miss Yae threw the dagger in her hand to the ground and walked away without looking back.
Her azure-colored contact lenses turned to the direction the fox-eared girl had gone, and she gave a disdainful snort.
Guess you know the truth.
"Stargazing, where are you going?"
Seeing the little girl sneak away, Xingyue called out.
Upon hearing this, the little girl stopped in her tracks, but did not turn around, leaving her only with a fan in her back.
“I do not intend to rely on your power. There is one last key point in the formation, and I plan to set it up.”
After saying that, a hint of reluctance appeared in the eyes of the Hundred-Haired Loli.
Although she doesn't dislike it, if she demands that price...
"No, you will."
Stargazing's eyes widened slightly as she saw the sea-blue hair fluttering in front of her, brushing against the little girl's cheek, leaving only a faint tickling sensation.
And the scent of Finnish flowers that permeates the nostrils of a stargazing observer.
At this moment, Xingyue smiled faintly at her, then reached out and stroked the little girl's warm head.
"You know better than anyone how powerful these beasts are, don't you?"
"It's okay, I can come with you. If you can handle it yourself, that would be best."
Guan Xing glanced at the girl in front of him with a hint of helplessness, raised his fan, turned around, and walked away on his own.
"If you want to follow us, then so be it. Anyway, I can't do anything about it."
Xingyue smiled mysteriously, then gestured for the others to follow.
They moved quickly and, in less than a day, left the town and arrived at a desolate desert.
Baizhangyuan is where 300,000 troops once fought against strange beasts, their heads falling and their blood spilling.
At this moment, thousands of horses galloped all around, their hooves kicking up clouds of dust.
A blond general in a blue uniform rode up first, carrying a long spear, and came to the front of the crowd, suddenly grabbing the reins.
The BMW beneath me reared up, letting out a long, drawn-out whinny.
"Your Highness, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers were densely packed together, their vanguard forming rows of shields, completely surrounding the group.
"It really is you, General Youlan."
Guan Xing waved her fan, looking solemnly at Durandal, then glanced at the elite soldiers of the Peerless Camp around her.
"But with such a large force, is it to protect us, or to take our heads?"
Youlan put her right hand on her hip and smiled apologetically.
"Lord Guanxing, you misunderstand. I only heard that your guards are very skilled, so I brought more men with me."
As she spoke, Durandal glanced at the girl with the frilly hair.
She was somewhat surprised to find that she had absolutely no idea how strong her opponent was.
Whenever she encountered an enemy, she considered her intuition to be very sharp, and she could probably see through the opponent's strength from their killing intent. However, when facing Xingyue, she felt as if she were facing a bottomless sea.
This woman is indeed extraordinary.
