It’s actually someone from Shifang City?!

Moreover, someone from Shifang City has been hiding within Wusu County, and has been indifferent to the rampage of the Mechanical Puppets.

It seems this upheaval indeed stems from within Shifang City.

The young man leaped down from the tree, his methods ruthless and deadly, yet his face naturally wore a smile, his squinting eyes forming crescent-shaped slits, almost making his pupils invisible.

But Baili An could feel the gaze assessing him.

"’One Drop of Blood,’ is it? Heh, this Demon Alliance force that has existed for only a few years dares meddle in the affairs of my Shifang City.

Looks like you are the leader of One Drop of Blood, nothing special to see, so incredibly weak.

The people under you are so pathetically weak, I’ve wasted my effort, keeping an eye on her for so long, thinking she was someone remarkable."

Baili An considered himself as having made all preparations for Shifang City.

This person, claiming to be from Shifang City, not only showed no gratitude but also harbored such deep hostility.

Clearly, the positions were obvious.

Baili An looked down and said, "You are so confident, but I wonder how far you think you can travel out of Wushan County?"

The youth with a longbow laughed heartily, "I know you have a woman in red by your side, her skills truly remarkable. In the blink of an eye, she wiped out hundreds of infected Puppets in Wushan County.

Since I’m acting against you tonight, I’m not unprepared.

The aura on this hilltop has been completely concealed by my secret treasure, though in front of that woman’s capabilities, I can’t guarantee how long it’ll hide me from her senses.

But I know, killing the two of you will be effortless."

He lightly lifted a finger, and the arrow thrown on the grass by Qingxin rose again, flying into his fingers, securely clasped.

The longbow on his back turned and landed in his palms, he bent the bow and nocked the arrow, aiming the arrowhead at Qingxin.

Baili An’s expression turned cold, desperately mobilizing the scant Dark Blood Qi left within him.

His body sprang up like a leopard, the blood energy stretching long in the space.

He gathered Qingxin’s body, then moved in a zigzag, blood-red path into the darkness, merging with the night, completely disappearing.

The bent bow’s arrowhead, before the youth, rotated with a Dharma Seal, yet it couldn’t catch Baili An’s aura.

He sighed softly, saying, "Your escape skill isn’t bad, but unfortunately, my domain is already open, where can you escape to now, it’s a wasted effort."

After saying this, his pupils rotated, eyes like a mirror, seemingly slowly reflecting the scenery around.

He gently closed one eye, while the other eye rotated crazily at a humanely impossible speed within the socket.

The Dharma Seal before the arrowhead condensed countless purple light rings.

Suddenly, one light ring turned red, the light growing stronger, and the youth’s frenzily-rotating pupil suddenly fixed, locking onto a position.

Releasing the fingers, the arrow flew!

Wind breaking! Thunderous strings!

The sinuous long arrow shot out like a purple Poison Dragon, tearing an electric purple space in the long dark night.

Flying grass flakes in the arrow’s wind turned instantly into fine dust!

Swoosh!

The purple lightning shot through the air, disappearing without a trace.

The youth let out a quiet "oh".

The second arrow actually missed?

Though unhappy on his face, he was in no hurry, leisurely took another arrow from the quiver, slowly spinning it between his fingers.

Gazing towards three hundred meters east, half-embracing a girl, kneeling on one knee, breathing heavily, Baili An’s face was deathly pale.

"Pretty impressive, to take my arrow and find a way to avoid it.

But that shot just now must have exhausted all your strength, can you really ensure her survival under my third arrow?"

Qingxin tightly pressed her lips, saying, "My lord, Qingxin’s life is worthless, death is no loss!"

Baili An cast her a sideways glance, "Who was it just now saying they wouldn’t fail the ’Tang Di’ name, and now your life is worthless?"

Qingxin was momentarily speechless at his calm and indifferent attitude.

Baili An turned back slowly, standing up, gazing into the distance at the youth, asking, "Who are you?"

The youth acted boldly, directly introducing himself, "Shifang City, Yu Xiuji, under Yinghuo City, it’s no injustice to die at my hands today."

Shifang City has four main cities, led by Tianquan City, surrounded by three others; Yinghuo City, Taibai City, and Tiangge City.

Yinghuo City is controlled by the City Lord’s eldest son, is this person part of Fang Zhuohang’s faction?

Baili An couldn’t immediately determine if his words were true or false, but there was one thing he was certain of...

"You are bold to come to Wusu County; such courage is admirable."

"Bold?" the youth scoffed, "With just your petty tricks, you’re no threat to me."

Baili An said, "I mean the Witch Plague Poison."

Yu Xiuji’s face stiffened, a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes, "What did you say?!"

Baili An pointed to his left eye, laughing, "That eye is a prosthetic, right? Or rather...

Instead of a prosthetic eye, perhaps half of your body was contributed to Shifang City’s Mechanical Technique research."

Yu Xiuji’s face darkened, grinding his teeth with a cold smile, "Initially, I wanted to capture One Drop of Blood’s leader alive, now it seems I cannot let you live."
