Shan Yue, whose range of activity was gradually shrinking, did not have any more places to dodge. She could only block with her hand. No matter how hard the other party attacked, Shan Yue seemed to maintain a playful mentality. Every move was toying with Liu Qing.

Soon, he realized this. It seemed that he had been the one attacking, but in fact, all the initiative was in Shan Yue’s hands. He had always been led by the nose by her.

“What do you mean? Why aren’t you fighting back? Are you looking down on me?”

“Am I that obvious?” Shan Yue raised her red lips indifferently, her words filled with mockery. She was not fighting at all. Instead, she treated Liu Qing as her amusement tool. “Can’t you see the difference between the two of us? All your attacks are useless against me. They’re useless.”

Every word that Shan Yue said pierced Liu Qing’s heart. “The reason why I didn’t attack was because 1 wanted to see how strong the silver-level assassins are now. It seems that they’re only so-so. If I had attacked, do you think you would still be standing here talking to me?”

“There’s always someone better. There are many people better than you. They didn’t say anything, but you’re pretending here.”

Liu Qing did not believe in this. He gently flicked the switch on the handle of the knife, and the poison instantly filled the entire scimitar. As long as it came into contact with the skin, they would immediately die.

“Let’s see how stubborn you can be now.” As soon as he finished speaking, he spun his scimitar and squatted slightly, preparing to attack Shan Yue’s lower body.

“You really have a death wish. Don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance. You just didn’t seize it.” She looked at Liu Qing’s actions and immediately came up with a countermeasure.

Before Liu Qing could squat down, Shan Yue quickly turned around and came to his side. One hand grabbed the other party’s hand that was holding the knife, and the other grabbed his hair.

When Liu Qing reacted and wanted to break free, he realized that no matter how hard he resisted, he could not break free from Shan Yue’s control. He finally realized that Shan Yue had been pretending to be weak. He was actually not as strong as her. This situation really gave Liu Qing a painful blow.

However, now was not the time to think about this. Currently, his body was completely under Shan Yue’s control. If he did not think of a way to break free, the consequences would definitely be unimaginable.

As expected, just as Liu Qing had thought, Shan Yue exerted strength with one hand and pulled his hair, flipping him over. His entire body fell heavily to the ground.

After Liu Qing’s body landed, Shan Yue did not give him any chance to catch his breath. She stepped on his hand that was holding the knife. The intense pain forced him to let go of the scimitar in his hand. He quickly pulled his hand out and stood up in a sorry state.

Shan Yue looked at the other party covering his hand and couldn’t help but smile smugly.

This time, it was Shan Yue who began to play with the knife in her hand, but her proficiency was far higher than Liu Qing’s.

Liu Qing, who was leaning against the corner of the wall, saw the scene in front of him. His eyes were filled with disbelief. He had trained so hard, not even giving himself time to rest, just to become stronger and reach a higher level. However, he did not expect to lose here.

“I wonder if you still have that arrogant attitude from before. Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t let me see the sun today? The sun is about to rise. Why did you go to the corner and curl up?”

Shan Yue did not hide the mockery in her words at all. “Before you carry out your next mission, ask around. How dare a silver-level assassin be so impudent? I really don’t know what you’re thinking.”

Even though Liu Qing knew very well that it was impossible for this mission to succeed again, there was still an anger in his heart that he could not vent. He would not allow others to mock him and look down on his organization like this, so he did not intend to give up just like that..
