Zhu Xianyao hurried back with You Tianyang, her expression extremely solemn

The alley wasn’t far froht with danger

They had just gotten out of the alleyhen the first attack struck

Whoosh!+

A streak of snowy light flashed through the air, piercing towards Zhu Xianyao

At the sah the air; it was an arrow flying right at Zhu Xianyao

“It’s them!” Zhu Xianyao yelled

It was the people who had tried to assassinate Zhu Xianyao earlier in the castle

As expected, they hadn’t left yet

As expected, they hadn’t given up yet!

As expected, they chose thisstraight for the jugular!

The blade descended with an astonishi+ng killing intent towards Zhu Xianyao’s arm

If that strike landed, she would be dead for sure

Even so, at this moment, Zhu Xianyao suddenly stopped in place

The blade light froze in place, as if tian to appear in the air

They began to spread outwards radially like a spiderweb

The blade strike was frigid; it was fierce; it was sharp; it was austere

However, this powerful blade strike seemed frozen in time, as if it were stopped by an invisible force All it could do was shi+ne brilliantly in front of Zhu Xianyao’s body

Zhu Xianyao even said, “You’ve already come for me twice Did you think I wouldn’t be prepared?”

She jabbed her finger out again

The arrow had come at her from the front

It was released second but arrived first, approaching Zhu Xianyao even faster than the initial blade strike had

However, it also had no way to advance

That was because Zhao Jingwen acted

As soon as the arrow appeared, Zhao Jingwenforwards with his Cloud-Sundering Spear The tip of the spear then slammed into the arroith extreme precision

Just as that arroas about to collide with the spear, another small arrow shot was spat out frowen’s forehead
