Avenge For Love novel Chapter 38

Looking back at the figure, Wu Xingxie summoned her sword and deflected more darts being thrown.

"Show yourself!" Wu Xingxie was unable to see the figure clearly as it was much darker in the woods.

The figure didn't respond and there was a moment of silence before the figure charged towards her. It was then she saw a man wearing all black with the most hideous mask covering his face.

Instead of throwing darts, the man was now holding a sword aiming towards her.

Wu Xingxie parried the attack, bringing them face to face.

Behind the eyeholes of the mask, she saw ink colored eyes that stared at her not with malice, but a feeling she couldn't describe.

Was it the same man at the banquet?

Wu Xingxie was unsure as many assassins or bandits cover their face when killing or robbing. So, she made a move to make his sword fall out of his hands. Wu Xingxie used her strength and easily pushed the sword away, positioning the blade at his neck.

The man paused but didn't surrender. Instead, he grabbed the blade of her sword barehanded and pulled it towards him.

As Wu Xingxie held the hilt of the sword, she was pulled along to her surprise. She was not expecting him to do this. After all, who would put their hands on the sharp edges of a sword?

Apparently this man as he didn't care about the blood spilling from his palms. As Wu Xingxie was pulled over, he used his other arm to grab her waist.

She stopped at his chest and his grip tightened while the female tried to escape. Wu Xingxie let go of her sword to focus on escaping the man's hold but his strength was overwhelming.

He finally revealed his aura, causing to Wu Xingxie to conclude that it was certainly the man at the banquet.

Although she realized too late, her determination grew as she kicked his shin.

This didn't faze him but he released his grip on her.

"You're good." A deep voice spoke, breaking the silence. Wu Xingxie heard the satisfaction in his voice and narrowed her eyes.

"What do you mean?" She was ready for an attack but he suddenly spoke.

The masked man didn't say anymore before moving his hand to his face. Wu Xingxie wanted to see how this man really looked so she stood there not moving.

Just then, the man disappeared from her view.

Just then, the man disappeared from her view.

Wu Xingxie looked around for him but he was nowhere to be seen. She was dumbfounded but actually found it interesting.

Is he challenging me?

Alright, we'll see who's better.

Wu Xingxie went back, but couldn't push the short battle out her mind. Although this was their second meeting, it was much more exciting.

Their first meeting, he interfered with her plans and now, he attacked her for no reason.

Did he hold some kind of grudge against her?

Wu Xingxie thought for a while before speaking again.

"The method used on Prime Minister Gu is a secret technique of the Wu clan. However, since Wu Dingxiang didn't kill him directly,"

Before she could finish, Madam Gu knew what she planned to say and finished it off.

"He gave the secret technique to a skilled martial artist."

"Exactly. The secret technique can't just be learned by reading the book. More so, the techniques are written in a way in which only those who have reached a certain level can decipher." Wu Xingxie knew this because Wu Dingxiang had shown her the books when she was 10, but her level was not at the one where she could decipher the complex characters.

It seemed like a totally different language at the time. However, as she reached the higher level, she came to understand the words.

"The assassin has to be highly skilled and calculative for him not to leave any traces behind."

Wu Xingxie stated, holding up the knife.

The knife used was an ordinary knife. One would think it was a regular person who did it but they knew better. There was a whole conspiracy behind the death of Prime Minister Gu and much more than Wu Xingxie could imagine.

In the personal chambers of the Demon King.

The male couldn't stop smiling after that incident in the woods. If one had to say, it was nearly impossible for him to smile but he was.

It was probably the first time he had been this happy. Even when he was chosen as the family head, the happiness in his heart at this moment could not be compared.

Bao Ling removed his mask before sitting on his bed to rethink about earlier.
