Chapter 176 Attacked
A black figure slowly walked towards Xu Qiuyue. He was wearing a silver mask, so his expression could not be seen clearly. But the cold aura emanating from him was creepy.

Xu Qiuyue stared at the man in black and asked warily, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am. I just need to take away your fountain of immortality, or take your life!" The man's tone was cold, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy, angry, sad, or cheerful.

Xu Qiuyue raised her eyebrows: "Why do you think I will go with you?"

The man said nothing, but suddenly drew out the long knife from his waist, jumped up, and pointed it straight at Xu Qiuyue's throat.

Xu Qiuyue quickly dodged and swung her sword to meet the attack.

The sword and the knife collided, creating a burst of sparks, and then both of them took a few steps back.

Xu Qiuyue didn't expect this man to be so powerful, and she couldn't help but feel a little serious.

But she did not flinch. Since she had decided to stay and fight, there was no reason to back down. Xu Qiuyue took a deep breath, tightened her sword in her hand again, and started fighting with the man in black.

Seeing that Xu Qiuyue did not flee, the man in black sneered and said, "I advise you to surrender obediently, so as to avoid suffering."

"Haha, I'm afraid that you will be the one who suffers the loss." Xu Qiuyue snorted coldly, and the long sword in her hand slashed out several sword qi at the man.

"You are so stubborn!" the man in black shouted coldly and swung his knife towards Xu Qiuyue.

Xu Qiuyue was not willing to be outdone and danced with the sword in her hand tightly.

The fight between the two sides became more and more intense, with swords flashing and sabers breaking many branches of the surrounding trees. Xu Qiuyue felt more and more serious and did not dare to relax. After all, the other party might have helpers, especially the black-clothed man's swordsmanship was very tricky and ruthless. If you were not careful, you would be injured by his sword energy.

The man in black also felt that Xu Qiuyue was a little overwhelmed, and a sinister smile appeared in his eyes. Taking advantage of Xu Qiuyue's unpreparedness, he suddenly slapped her with his palm.

Xu Qiuyue realized something was wrong and tried to dodge but it was too late. She took the opponent's palm and retreated several meters and fell into the grass.

The man in black took advantage of the victory and pursued, wanting to capture Xu Qiuyue in one fell swoop.

"Hahaha!" The man in black laughed arrogantly.

Xu Qiuyue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, poured all her internal strength into the sword in her hand, and then stabbed the man in black with all her might.

The black-clothed man's eyes changed, and he quickly rolled to the side, avoiding Xu Qiuyue's attack. At the same time, his knife slashed at Xu Qiuyue, who barely dodged it, but was still cut by the knife, and a drop of blood flowed out.

"Hahaha! Your blood is really tempting." As he said that, the man in black pounced on her again. This time he did not give Xu Qiuyue the chance to fight back. He swung the long sword in his hand so fast that people could not keep up. The sword light seemed like snowflakes falling from the sky.

Xu Qiuyue did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and quickly used his lightness skills to retreat several feet away.

Xu Qiuyue took out the rejuvenation pills she had made earlier from the space and took three pills in one breath.

This is made from spiritual spring water. It is extraordinary and contains mysterious power.

In fact, the spiritual spring water no longer has any effect on Xu Qiuyue's cultivation, but it has a very powerful effect on restoring Xu Qiuyue's internal strength and treating Xu Qiuyue's internal injuries.

Xu Qiuyue took the pill very quickly. Even when taking the pill, Xu Qiuyue held the long sword tightly in her hand, not daring to relax at all, staring firmly at the man in black in front of her. The man in black was powerful, and the long sword in his hand was shining, exuding a sharp aura.

Xu Qiuyue knew in her heart that the other party was definitely a master of swordsmanship and was definitely not an ordinary person.

The black-clad man's sword skills were sharp and swift, attacking like a storm, and the blade made a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air.

Xu Qiuyue focused on responding, dodging the opponent's attacks with a nimble body. Her sword skills were agile and clever, and the sword light flashed like colorful light, gorgeous and sharp.

The two fought in the mountain path. When the swords and knives intersected, sparks flew and the deafening sound of metal collisions resounded through the forest. Xu Qiuyue's eyes flashed with determination and resoluteness. Her whole body burst out with sharp sword energy, as if she had turned into an insurmountable barrier, blocking all the knife power of the man in black.

The wind blew their robes, and the leaves swayed in the interweaving of sword energy and knife light, as if cheering for this life-and-death struggle. Xu Qiuyue's eyes were as firm as iron, and she knew that she had to go all out to defeat this powerful opponent.

The fierce battle lasted for a while, and finally, with a delicate sword move, Xu Qiuyue seized the flaw of the man in black and stabbed him in the chest. The man in black looked at the sword in front of him in astonishment, unable to believe that he was defeated by Xu Qiuyue.

He didn't understand how Xu Qiuyue could possibly win.

Unfortunately, he was too careless, which led to Xu Qiuyue's victory.

This move has already determined the outcome.

He could only close his eyes with regret.

Xu Qiuyue put away her sword, and the sword energy around her gradually dissipated. She breathed slightly, and a glimmer of victory revealed in her eyes.

In her previous life, the space in her body was exposed just before she died.

There are secrets about the Blood Witch, but they have never been linked to her.

But in this life, it all came to an end so quickly.

Xu Qiuyue did not go directly to find Chunzhu.

She didn't know what the situation in the capital was like, and she didn't want to use her own face to go to the capital. Xu Qiuyue wanted to disguise herself and go to the capital to find out the situation.

Xu Qiuyue felt that she had always been very cautious and had never revealed any abnormality on her part.

The only one who knew her secret was Lu Yuan.

Unless Lu Yuan betrayed her.

Perhaps, she was wrong. She originally thought that Lu Yuan was just stingy.

No matter what, she had to go to the capital to meet Lu Yuan and find out the truth of the matter.

But now, Xu Qiuyue felt that she should go and meet Xu's father and mother.

If nothing happened to Xu's father and mother, then her and Xu Chunhua's life stories should be seamless and impeccable.

Xu Chunhua is dead, at least on the surface. Now very few people know Xu Chunhua's identity.

No, perhaps the people who came to assassinate her in her previous life were not all Xuan Jiuqing’s political enemies.

Xu Qiuyue remembered that after Xu Chunhua died in her previous life, she actually experienced several assassination attempts.

Xu Qiuyue knew too little information now, and blind speculation was not a solution.

Xu Qiuyue first went to secretly check on Chunzhu. She found that Chunzhu was safe and had already run to the city gate in one breath, so she felt relieved.

After all, it is not safe for a weak woman to be alone on the mountain road outside the city.

Chunzhu is not stupid. She said that if they got separated, she would report to the police.

If Chunzhu can't wait for her at that time, she can take a carriage to find Lu Yuan by herself.
