Imperial Treasure

Chapter 517 - 341: Heartrending

Arrows flew in an instant, life and death hung by a thread!

The arrow was too fast!

But Sui Yi didn’t move, because a glimmer of light landed on the arrow..

Clang~

The arrow shattered!

A diamond-shaped flying dart spun back, landing on the tips of two slender and beautiful fingers, trapped between them—a pair of Dan Kou Lan smoke-like eyebrows, thin lips, a tall figure standing in the doorway, elongated by light and shadow.

But that tranquil, delicate face was the same as when they parted in the teahouse.

There stood Yhan Qingwu, holding the flying dart between her fingers, saying softly, "It seems I’ve arrived just in time."

"Heh~~" Zhuang Ziliu laughed, while Ah Guna continued to be expressionless, even with his back turned to Yhan Qingwu, even though this seemingly frail and noble lady was strong enough to kill him in an instant!

"It seems the previous difficulty has brought Miss Yhan considerable benefits, gaining the recognition of the Tang Sect, I see... The way you handle those Flying Leaf Darts... So beautiful~~"

Yhan Qingwu said nothing, only looking towards Sui Yi, her beautiful eyes filled with a touch of worry, while completely indifferent to the corpse hanging on the wall behind her.

The girl who used to sit in the classroom, holding a pen, looking at a book, frail yet refined, had finally grown up.

Sui Yi closed her eyes, the situation before her seemed to be in their favor, but~~

When Sui Yi and Yhan Qingwu heard the slow footsteps, when Zhuang Ziliu’s smile grew more and more ominous, when the twilight seemed to darken weirdly, shadows concealing, when Ah Guna turned his numb face to kneel on the ground.

As if his master had arrived...

Two figures appeared behind Yhan Qingwu.

In fact, anyone who saw these two figures would ignore one of them, focusing all their attention on the one figure.

Not because he stood in front, not because he was much taller, nor because of the old woman’s humble posture behind him, but because of his natural, demonic, peerless aura, standing proudly among all beings.

As he approached, he brought darkness with him. Far outside, the black cats seemed to be howling in terror.

Yhan Qingwu couldn’t see the other’s face, but her expression had solidified, her body turned cold, and sweat seeped from her palms.

This coldness was even more severe than her illness from years ago.

Who was the person approaching?

Whoosh!

Sui Yi moved, just as those two appeared in the small corridor outside the kitchen, she blurred in a fleeting shadow, grabbing Yhan Qingwu’s arm and dragging her.

"Run!"

Run!

Even Sui Yi would run!

Who exactly was the person approaching?

One might say Sui Yi didn’t even know who that person was, shrouded in shadow, akin to darkness itself, only knowing her entire soul, everything about her, was screaming danger.

The most terrifying danger so far!

The two ran for their lives!

And that door... Boom!

Shattered!

Cackle, cackle, cackle!

Countless black cats screeched!

The corpse hanging on the wall fell to the ground, flesh rotting away into nothingness, only to spin out ghostly black shadows, and from countless rooms came a rustling sound, chaos in the shadows,

As if these shadows awakened with the coming night... along the burnt and withered ground, wildly spreading over the ground and walls that Sui Yi and Yhan Qingwu had dashed across in their frenetic escape.

Behind, Sui Yi seemed to hear the old woman’s cackling laughter, Zhuang Ziliu’s muttering voice; this was a world transformed into a demon’s lair, unrelated to light, and soon... they too would be devoured by darkness.

"Once outside, find Eastern and Chenyu... don’t look back!"

Yhan Qingwu only heard Sui Yi’s voice as if it penetrated deep into her soul, then she felt a strong tug on her body!

"Don’t look back!"

Not as powerful as Sui Yi, and caught off-guard by Sui Yi’s forceful throw, Yhan Qingwu ultimately looked back as she soared over the wall...

What did she see?

Sui Yi’s neck was grabbed by a Charm Shadow-like dark figure one step behind her...

Boom!

Slammed against the wall, the wall cracked like tofu, spidering with a hollow dent, covered in fissures, blood streaming from Sui Yi’s back...

Her neck was gripped, pressed against the wall...

The shadows in the corridor seemed to fear that person, wildly burning like a fierce fire~~

"Sui Yi~~" Yhan Qingwu landed on the top of the wall, her lips pale, just about to rush back, only to see Sui Yi’s eyes.

Go! Don’t look back...

Find Eastern, Chenyu~~

She won’t kill me~ Will she? Really?

Yhan Qingwu’s heart clenched into a knot.

Before the old woman following behind could chase them, Yhan Qingwu, teeth clenched, jumped down from the wall, run!

While taking out her phone...

Jiang Chenyu, Jiang Chenyu, she had her number, seemed to have it!

"You won’t escape, cackle~~"

Rush, rush!

The old woman leaped like a black cat, a blur of afterimages, springing through the air, catching up to Yhan Qingwu in the blink of an eye.
