Sensational! Fake Noble VS Real Genius-Chapter 1224: Is It Over?

Liang Xiao and He Shishi were stunned by this.

How did that black-clad attacker fly out?

Was it Miss Gu who made the move?

But... Miss Gu didn’t seem to have moved at all.

Liang Xiao and He Shishi were dumbfounded, and the other black-clad attackers were also taken aback for a moment, as they didn’t clearly see what had just happened.

However, the moment of shock lasted only briefly.

Once they came to their senses, the black-clad attackers resumed their assault.

Not only did they target Gu Zhiqi, but they also attacked Ling Zhiyu, Liang Xiao, and He Shishi.

With the black-clad attackers charging again, Ling Zhiyu’s first reaction was to search for poison.

Upon searching, Ling Zhiyu realized that the poison was already used up.

As she watched a knife enveloped in vital energy slash toward her, Ling Zhiyu’s pupils shrank and she immediately began backing away.

However, after taking only two steps back, she collided with the wall.

No way to retreat.

But there were already four or five black-clad attackers surrounding her.

Ling Zhiyu’s eyes grew cold as she leaned against the wall, slowly clenching her fist beside her.

The black-clad attackers saw Ling Zhiyu trapped with no escape, exchanged glances, and raised their knives in unison to slash at Ling Zhiyu.

Ling Zhiyu dodged the black-clad attackers’ knives while raising her foot to kick one of them.

Yet, without vital energy, she was unable to harm the black-clad attackers who were ancient martial artists, and soon, she suffered several injuries.

After being kicked by one of the black-clad attackers, she was slammed against the wall, rendering her completely powerless to resist, unable even to dodge, while four or five knives were coming straight at her.

In the nick of time, two rays of light suddenly emanated from Ling Zhiyu, one almost transparent white and the other golden yellow.

With the appearance of this light, the individuals who were just about to slash at Ling Zhiyu were thrown into the air, crashing heavily to the ground.

As the light faded, a figure appeared in front of Ling Zhiyu.

Ling Zhiyu, with blood at the corner of her mouth, clutched her chest against the wall, staring at the figure in front of her, momentarily forgetting to react.

For a brief moment, Ling Zhiyu seemed to see two figures, one was a girl’s figure standing with her back to her, and the other was a man’s figure facing her.

However, because the light was too dazzling, Ling Zhiyu couldn’t clearly see the man’s appearance.

Upon closer inspection, she found that there was only the girl’s figure before her.

Clearly, the blinding light had faded, but Ling Zhiyu still felt the girl was radiating light.

In the tavern, the floor was littered with black-clad attackers.

Among those black-clad attackers, some were dead and some injured, and in the blink of an eye, all had lost their combat power.

The onlookers who witnessed the whole process, including Liang Xiao and He Shishi, were all utterly bewildered.

Was it over... just like that?

So, how did they make a move?

On the second floor.

Lin Ruoxue stared at the scene on the first floor, momentarily forgetting to react. After a long pause, she looked at the person opposite and asked, "Do you know that girl?"

The person across had their gaze fixed on Gu Zhiqi. Upon hearing Lin Ruoxue’s question, they snapped back to reality, "I don’t know her."

After speaking, the person raised their hand to put the hat attached to their cloak on.

Once the hat was securely on, the person stood up.

Lin Ruoxue saw her get up and promptly stood as well, "Are you leaving?"

"The people from the Law Enforcement Hall have arrived. If Junior Sister Zhiyu finds out I was here and didn’t step in to save her in that situation, it will be hard to explain."

The arrival of the Law Enforcement Hall means they will definitely question people.

At that time, not only those involved in the fight but likely also the spectators will be summoned for questioning.
