Chapter 1384: Making a Cunning Getaway

“Shangguan Yue, we’re all rational people. Why should we beat around the bush? We’ll just waste each other’s time for nothing.” The other party laughed, but he had an unignorable suppression. “You won’t really think that you can hide that item perfectly and that nobody will notice, right?”

Chu Liuyue remained silent. She was certain that the other party was also going for the water droplet. However, she didn’t know what identity this person had.

Before she came, she kept suspecting that the other party was the person who lived in Shangguan Wan’s body. But once the other party spoke, she knew that it wasn’t him.

“Honestly, your idea of making a clean getaway by getting rid of your old shell is used extremely well, but you forgot something. As long as that item is still with you, it’s impossible nobody will notice it. At the end of the day, you just wasted your time.”

Chu Liuyue was suddenly dazed.?Making a clean getaway by getting rid of my old shell? What does that mean? Is he… talking about me being reborn? But I was clearly harmed by someone back then—

Suddenly, something flashed across her mind! She instantly turned her head and looked at Mu Qinghe at the side!

Mu Qinghe kneeled on the floor with his head lowered, making one unable to see his expression. Only his tightly clenched fists showed that he wasn’t as calm as he looked.

Countless scenes flashed before her eyes.?Back then… My death, what exactly—

Whoosh!

A long blood-colored whip suddenly flew out of that copper mirror and went straight for Chu Liuyue!

Chu Liuyue immediately moved backward!

But although she was fast, the blood whip was even faster! In the blink of an eye, it had already flown to the front and was closing in on Chu Liuyue’s face!

Chu Liuyue raised her hands, and a red fire set up a barrier before her!

......

Zz zz!

A pungent smell spread across, causing one to be nauseous.

That blood whip seemed to have touched something scary as it rapidly melted!

“Red-gold heavenly phoenix?!” The voice in the copper mirror suddenly changed its tone, and it was filled with shock and disbelief! Then, that person sneered. “Hah, I didn’t expect that after not seeing you for so long and your force is depleted, you’re still as lucky as before!”

His sentence contained too much information. While Chu Liuyue handled it, she kept thinking in her heart.?This man… I’ve seen him before?! Also, it seems like he has long known about the water droplet in my body!?

Slap!

Another blood whip attacked her! This time, the force it contained was clearly much stronger than before!

An opening formed on Chu Liuyue’s barrier.

That blood whip was extremely agile and cunning as it rapidly stretched in from the opening and harshly struck toward Chu Liuyue!

Chu Liuyue’s alarm in her heart rang loudly!?The other party is definitely stronger than a legendary warrior! If I’m hit, half my life will directly be taken away!?

At that moment, Chu Liuyue’s body glowed! At the same time, a black shield suddenly appeared in her left hand!

Rumble!

That blood whip harshly hit against the black shield!

Chu Liuyue’s blood tumbled, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

The terrifying force surrounded her, causing her to fly backward uncontrollably!

Thump!

She harshly fell against the wall behind her and later onto the ground, almost breaking her bones!

The excruciating pain spread throughout her body. Her face instantly flushed white!

Mu Qinghe kneeled on the ground and lowered his head even more. He clenched his fists even tighter.

“It’s a real pity that the thing has already recognized you as its master, so I have to put in some effort to take it out…” As the other party spoke, the blood whip changed into a longsword, and it went straight for Chu Liuyue’s stomach!

Suddenly, a few ripples appeared on the ground before Chu Liuyue. The blood longsword was silently blocked on the outside!

Chu Liuyue was dazed and looked up. She saw a tall and big figure walking out from within!

He was wearing a black robe today, and he exuded a shocking coldness. He was distinguished from head to toe, looking high and mighty with disregard for anything.

The more stunning thing was that his clothes were already stained by blood. When he moved, there were even a few drops of blood that trickled down. It was as though he had just rushed over from an intense killing.

The intense bloody aura almost made one unable to breathe.

However, Chu Liuyue suddenly calmed down. It was as if with this person around, all the thunderstorms would be blocked outside, and she didn’t have to worry at all.

This man raised his hand and clutched the empty air.

Thump!

That harsh-looking blood longsword was actually crushed into pieces and disappeared cleanly!

“Rong Xiu?!” The man in the mirror seemed to be taken aback. “Why are you here?”

Rong Xiu softly laughed. “If she’s here, what’s so strange about me coming? But it seems like… I disappointed you?”

The other party fell silent for a moment before sneering. “You’re even harder to handle than before.”

“Your men are too weak,” said Rong Xiu nonchalantly.

The other party seemed stumped and couldn’t say anything.

Chu Liuyue was about to say something when she suddenly felt a ripple in her dantian.

Crack!

A tiny breaking sound was clearly heard!

Another crack appeared on that black pyramid! Inside, there seemed to be something about to rush out!

Rong Xiu suddenly turned around.

Chu Liuyue raised her head in shock.

The two of them stared at each other.

At that moment, endless longing surged up her heart. They clearly hadn’t seen each other for only a short period of time, but Chu Liuyue felt that it had been way too long.

She opened her mouth, and her voice was so soft that it sounded like it would disappear with the wind. “…Rong Xiu…”

Once she said that, countless scenes popped into her mind!

She closed her eyes and fell toward the ground.

“Yue’er!” Rong Xiu knitted his sharp brows, and his figure flashed. He rapidly rushed over and brought her into his arms!
