"Come when you want, leave when you want. Do I look like someone you can bully?"
As she spoke, Li Yue Shu directly charged forward with her saber.
Seeing this, Shen Wei no longer concealed his strength, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce.
Before long, only two masked men remained standing.
Li Yue Shu panted, jamming her saber into the ground for support. Shen Wei, however, was still unharmed, only his breathing slightly disordered.
The outcome was decided.
Li Yue Shu looked at the two remaining men with icy eyes, "Were you sent by the Second Prince?"
The two masked men exchanged glances. Without any communication, they moved apart with practiced coordination.
One turned and fled, while the other charged at them with suicidal abandon.
They had failed to complete their mission, but the news that their lord was not an idiot must be delivered!
Li Yue Shu's heart tightened. Without a second thought, she chased after the one who was escaping.
As if by telepathy, the moment she moved, Shen Wei intercepted the masked man charging with reckless abandon.
Li Yue Shu lacked Qinggong, but her speed was no less than others.
In the blink of an eye, she was about to catch up to the masked man.
Just then, the situation took a turn.
The masked man who had been fleeing suddenly changed direction, charging directly at Li Yue Shu, seemingly to stop her pursuit.
Li Yue Shu had not anticipated this at all. Instinctively, she tried to stop, but her body, propelled by inertia, continued to rush forward. She could only hurriedly raise her hand to block.
"A Shu!" Shen Wei's panicked voice suddenly rang out.
The next moment, a blood-stained sword brushed past Li Yue Shu's ear, severing a lock of her hair and plunging directly into the masked man.
Though the masked man's attack was largely deflected, it still struck towards Li Yue Shu.
In the nick of time, Li Yue Shu's saber blocked the remaining force, and was directly knocked away.
Li Yue Shu casually dropped her saber, rolled on the ground, and steadied herself.
She looked up and saw Shen Wei rushing towards her, while the other masked man was lunging at him from behind with a knife.
Li Yue Shu was startled, "Be careful!"
She had no time to think. She raised her hands in the air.
The next moment, a gun materialized in her hand.
"Bang!"
With the sound of a gunshot, the masked man's raised knife had not yet fallen when his body collapsed backward.
His eyes still held a fierce look of defiance, as if he hadn't even realized what had happened before being sent to the underworld.
A bloody hole marked his forehead.
Silence, a deathly silence.
Shen Wei stared at the peculiar, jet-black object in Li Yue Shu's hand, frozen in place.
Just now, he had clearly felt something whizzing past his ear, but he hadn't even had time to see it.
There were few people in the world whose martial arts surpassed his, yet no one had ever used a hidden weapon that he couldn't detect.
Moreover, Li Yue Shu had no internal energy!
While Shen Wei was in a daze, Li Yue Shu hurried over, "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
She anxiously pulled Shen Wei to examine him, completely unaware of his stunned expression.
Shen Wei suppressed the shock in his heart and gently shook his head, "I'm fine."
Seeing that he was indeed unharmed, Li Yue Shu's worried heart finally relaxed.
Shen Wei glanced at the strange hidden weapon in her hand, his eyes flickering. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Li Yue Shu stride past him.
She picked up the scalpel that had been knocked away by the masked man earlier, and the gun was directly put away into her spatial storage.
Disappeared out of thin air again!
Shen Wei narrowed his eyes.
Even as composed as he was, he felt as if he were dreaming.
He watched Li Yue Shu, holding that peculiar little knife, walk up to the masked man and directly dig into the bloody hole between his brows.
Shen Wei walked over, his face filled with curiosity, "A Shu, what are you doing?"
"Collecting bullets," Li Yue Shu replied without looking up. "If others see this thing, it could very well bring us trouble."
She had used her spatial storage's regeneration function to hoard many bullets, but rarely used them, as guns were too powerful for this world.
The last time she used four to save A Min, she hadn't had time to retrieve them. Although no trouble had come yet, it was not guaranteed that it wouldn't in the future.
Human skulls were extremely hard, and Li Yue Shu couldn't extract the bullet immediately.
Shen Wei couldn't help but swallow as he watched her continuously rummaging through a dead man's head.
This woman was truly...
Did she forget she was a woman?
Shen Wei felt a pang of helplessness.
Although he wasn't afraid of such scenes, he couldn't help but look away.
As he turned his head, he suddenly saw a masked man move, seemingly trying to get up.
Shen Wei glanced at Li Yue Shu, who had her back to him, and directly strode towards the masked man.
He bent down, squatted, and slowly spoke in a voice only they could hear, "Crown Prince?"
Those two words made the masked man's eyes widen in instant terror.
Seeing this, Shen Wei understood.
Without further ado, he reached out and grasped the masked man's neck, applying force.
"Crack!"
With a faint, crisp sound, the masked man's head lolled to the side, his life extinguished.
Shen Wei stood up, his expression cold.
But the next moment, as he turned, he saw Li Yue Shu standing not far away, staring at him expressionlessly.
Shen Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he froze.
"What are you doing?"
Li Yue Shu slowly spoke, her voice and eyes both calm, betraying no hint of emotion.
Her hands were still stained with blood, making her fair skin appear even more pale, a stark contrast.
Silence. The silence was so profound that Shen Wei could almost hear his own heartbeat.
His hands, hanging by his sides, clenched involuntarily, but his expression remained unchanged. "A Shu, I just saw this person move. Was he still alive?"
Li Yue Shu looked at him for a moment, then walked over to the masked man and squatted down to examine him.
Her blood-stained hand traced over the masked man's neck, a cold glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Li Yue Shu wiped the blood from her hands on the masked man's body and stood up calmly, "Dead."
Shen Wei watched her expression. He couldn't discern anything, yet he inexplicably felt his heart pounding.
He instinctively put on a naive and bewildered smile, "A Shu, can you do magic? I just saw you suddenly conjure something strange, and then it suddenly disappeared. It was so amazing!"
Li Yue Shu's eyes flickered, but she was not surprised.
She had been facing Shen Wei and the masked man at the time, so it was not strange for them to have seen it.
Now that the masked man was dead, and Shen Wei...
A dark glint flashed in Li Yue Shu's eyes, and she curled her lips slightly, "You want to know?"
Shen Wei nodded firmly, his beautiful eyes twinkling like stars.
Meeting those eyes, Li Yue Shu's heart softened.
She raised her hand, flicked her wrist, and the gun reappeared out of nowhere.
Shen Wei's eyes widened, his face a mask of unadulterated shock and curiosity.
But the next moment, the dark muzzle was pointed at his forehead.
