Chapter 69 Successful escape
Behind Xu Qiuyue, the chasing secret guard pulled the long bowstring in his hand to its full extent, and the arrow drew a sharp trajectory in the air, like a flash of lightning cutting through the night sky.

Xu Qiuyue heard a sound of breaking air, her eyes flashed, she knew that Xuan Jiuqing had finally brought people to chase after her.

I was suddenly delighted, but I couldn't help but become alert.

The arrow flew towards her at a high speed, and Xu Qiuyue dodged. The ointment placed next to her was extremely precious, and this thing could not be left to the opponent. Xu Qiuyue took the ointment away while dodging.

However, soon, another arrow whizzed towards her, and Xu Qiuyue slightly tilted her body and avoided the fatal blow.

However, just when Xu Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief, two more arrows attacked her from both sides.

Xu Qiuyue frowned slightly. She didn't have enough space to dodge, so she could only use the dagger in her hand to block the incoming arrow.

The arrow hit the dagger with a sharp metal collision sound, and sparks flew everywhere.

Xu Qiuyue felt her arm go numb and the arrow almost pierced through her dagger.

Xu Qiuyue gritted her teeth, and her body was as agile as a swallow, dodging the deadly arrows like a flying bird.

The surrounding trees trembled at the roar of arrows, birds flew away in fright, and insects in the grass fled.

Xu Qiuyue knew that if she continued, she would not be able to hold on, so she grabbed Princess Nanyang and used her to block herself.

Sure enough, no more arrows were shot.

Xu Qiuyue grabbed Princess Nanyang tightly and threw her hard towards the chasing secret guards.

Princess Nanyang screamed in horror when she was caught. A trace of helplessness and fear flashed in her eyes. She was afraid that she would be injured by the arrow. Fortunately, all the guards had put away their bows and arrows.

The secret guards escorted Princess Nanyang away in the chaos. Xu Qiuyue seized this brief opportunity, flashed and hid in the dense forest behind her.

Xu Qiuyue knew that reinforcements from the county government were about to arrive and time waited for no one. If she delayed any further, she would face life-threatening danger.

Xu Qiuyue's heart was beating violently in her chest, her blood was buzzing in her ears, and her breathing became rapid.

This was the first time that Xu Qiuyue had done such a dangerous thing and confronted so many masters.

It was also the first time that he faced the government head on.

No matter how weaker Xuan Jiuqing is than the crown prince, he is a prince and the combat forces around him are all top-notch.

Besides, the people in the imperial court are not vegetarians either.

In the dense forest, Xu Qiuyue seemed to feel the footsteps of pursuers getting closer.

Xu Qiuyue quickened her pace, and the wind whistling behind her sounded like the call of the god of death.

Xu Qiuyue felt a vague sense of oppression, as if the entire forest was shrouded in some ominous atmosphere.

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of wind. Xu Qiuyue raised her head suddenly and saw a black shadow flashing by like lightning. Her heart couldn't help but tighten. The speed of the black shadow was so fast that she almost had no time to react.

"Someone is following me!" Xu Qiuyue's heart sank, she knew that she had been targeted by a master.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace, trying to get rid of the other party's pursuit. However, despite her extraordinary Qinggong, the other party seemed to be more skilled and always followed closely behind her.

Xu Qiuyue stopped, took a deep breath, and decided to face this mysterious tracker.

She suddenly drew out the long sword from her waist, the sword flashed and shone with cold light. Her eyes were firm and indifferent, she was ready for battle.

"Since you want to die, come on!" Xu Qiuyue growled. Her voice was like the whistling cold wind, revealing an inviolable aura.

The other party finally revealed his true identity, a mysterious figure in black walked out from the shadows of the trees. His eyes were deep, cold and sharp, making people dare not look directly at him.

The two powerful forces collided with each other, and an invisible air wave spread out in all directions, and the leaves rustled between the figures of the two people.

In this forest, two figures intertwined and entangled, swords flashed, and sword energy was everywhere. A dangerous atmosphere filled the air, and the air seemed a little suffocating.

Xu Qiuyue knew very well that the other party was quite powerful and was a first-rate master, but she was not afraid. Her internal strength was now even higher than that of her previous life.

Xu Qiuyue had also experienced many life-and-death battles in her previous life.

A ray of cold light flashed across the night sky, and Xu Qiuyue's heart sank. She understood that it was time to end the battle quickly.

She imitated the classic moves of the Rakshasa sect. She attacked in mid-air, the sword in her hand dancing like a flying butterfly, with an unstoppable force.

The cold wind was howling, and the moonlight fell on her slender figure, outlining a graceful silhouette. Her eyes were firm and indifferent, as if a cold god of war had descended to the earth. The surrounding woods passed by her quickly, as if swaying to her rhythm.

The sword light flashed, cutting through the dark night sky, making a shrill hissing sound, and the collision of swords made a sharp metal collision sound.

Xu Qiuyue's movements were clean and neat, and each sword hit the target accurately without any unnecessary movements.

Her figure in the moonlight was like a blooming sword flower, cold and dangerous.

As a series of sword energy shot up into the sky, the entire scene looked like a gorgeous painting. It seemed as if there was nothing else between heaven and earth except this sword energy.

A ray of blood light bloomed in the night sky.

Xu Qiuyue sheathed the sword and stared at the fallen enemy, but there was no joy in her heart, only a trace of pity and exhaustion after the battle.

Because of their different positions, one of them is destined to die, regardless of good or evil.

The opponent must die. Anyone who fights with her with this sword can sense that it is not the Rakshasa Sect's ultimate move at all.

But the death wounds are exactly the same.

The autopsy will certainly not find any problems.

Xu Qiuyue did not stop, but quickened her pace, carefully dealing with the traces she left behind, and then changed into two sets of night clothes on the way and threw all the old night clothes into the space.

The main reason was that she was afraid that someone skilled in scent tracking could track her down based on the scent.

After Xu Qiuyue made sure that there was no tail behind her.

Finally, he returned to the Lu Mansion.

I went to the cell today. It was unlucky. It was normal to take a shower and change clothes.

Chunzhu also prepared a lot of mugwort for Xu Qiuyue.

Mugwort is something that has a strong smell, and bathing with it will have a better effect and can almost clear away suspicion 100%.

Xu Qiuyue felt a little scared, thinking that today was still too crazy.

She couldn't start showing off just because she had made some progress in her magical skills.

Even if you become a top-notch expert, you still need to be cautious.

Fortunately, Xuan Jiuqing is not in favor now, and there are no top masters around him.

If I hadn't traveled through the mountains and alleys in my previous life and was very familiar with the roads in Taohua Town and the dense forests outside the mountains, this escape would definitely not have been so smooth.

At this time, Xu Qiuyue had already started to rest.

At this time, Xuan Jiuqing, Princess Nanyang and Lu Changqing had not slept all night. They were also filled with fear. Fortunately, they rescued the princess.
