Was she driven to such desperate measures because the people supporting her had cornered her and she couldn’t think of a solution?
“Mistress, you should leave first. Leave these people to me,” he turned around and said to An Jiuyue.
An Jiuyue looked up at the blue sky and was speechless.
If it was just these men in black, there was nothing to be afraid of. She and Yan Nuo were capable of dealing with them. She was concerned, however, that this was only the beginning.
While thinking about Xue Yingyue’s escape plans, Wei Na alarmed her in her space.
“Master, there are at least two groups of people nearby along the way to Ding Nuo Academy. I can’t detect anything else beyond that.”
“Haha…” An Jiuyue smiled.
Their imposing demeanor suggested that they were all used to dealing with death. Xue Yingyue could not organize so many of them on her own.
It seemed like the people behind Xue Yingyue were impatient and wanted something from An Jiuyue.
Maybe I should ask Xue Yingyue what she wants from Qian Jiyun after I deal with these people to prepare myself! It seems like the capital is filled with malice toward me!
Yan Nuo saw that An Jiuyue was still standing there and could not help but urge her to leave again.
“Do you think I’ll be safe if I leave?” An Jiuyue retorted, not giving him a chance to finish.
“Uh!” Yan Nuo was stunned.
She was right. Since the other party came prepared, there must be more of them.
It seemed like he had underestimated Xue Yingyue. She really dared to do this.
“Mistress, be careful,” he reminded An Jiuyue before charging at the men in black without further delay.
The man in black intended to kill only An Jiuyue, not both of them.
When they saw Yan Nuo charging toward them, they immediately split into two groups. One group dealt with Yan Nuo to stop him from helping An Jiuyue, while the other rushed toward her quickly.
An Jiuyue looked at the people rushing towards her and asked Wei Na in her space, “Wei Na, should I hide or fight now?”
Wei Na was speechless.
Do you even need to ask? They’re already bullying us! How can we not fight back?
“What weapon do you want, Master? You have a lot of points. You can use whatever weapon you want!”
Wei Na had gained a new perspective on points since the Points Mall was upgraded last time. Storing too many of them was pointless. It was better to use them quickly.
“But Master, you haven’t unlocked your pasture yet. You still have to save some points. You can’t use them all, okay?”
An Jiuyue rolled her eyes. It was not a concern.
The next moment, the men in black charging towards her saw her pull out a weapon from nowhere—a long, skeleton whip made entirely of bones.
With a flick of the long whip, one of the men in black was stopped in his tracks. The long whip was already tightly wrapped around his neck.
He threw down his long sword and grabbed the whip around his neck with both hands, intending to break it. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he could not break it.
Something tightened around his neck as he looked up at An Jiuyue. He was flung up and slammed into the trunk of a large tree.
He landed on the ground with a thud, scattering dust everywhere. He was, however, no longer breathing.
