The night was as dark as ink, casting a deep shadow over the mountains and forests surrounding the Kongtong Sect.
Meng Hao moved like a streak of black lightning, weaving through the dense woods. The Heavenly Axe in his hand emitted a faint golden glow, guiding him in the direction of his pursuit.
The token from the Youmingfu was firmly gripped in his hand, its faintly sinister aura becoming particularly clear in the darkness, as if an invisible thread was pulling him forward.
His eyes were sharp, fixated on the subtle fluctuations of the runes on the token; it was his only clue to track the assassin.
The wind howled, and the branches and leaves rustled in the forest. Each step he took crunched softly on the dry leaves beneath him.
Meng Hao took a deep breath, feeling the power of the Golden Arm coursing through him, granting him an unprecedented sense of strength and confidence.
He sought vengeance for his fallen brothers; he would tear apart the conspiracy of the Youmingfu!
Just as he was fully focused on his pursuit, a soft voice laced with playful intrigue suddenly came from behind him.
“Meng Hao, where are you off to at this late hour?”
Meng Hao abruptly halted and spun around.
Moonlight filtered through the treetops, illuminating the newcomer and outlining her graceful curves.
Clad in a tight black outfit that accentuated her exquisite figure, she presented breathtaking arcs, while dark red tassels swayed gently at her waist, adding an alluring touch.
Her autumn-like eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as they locked onto him.
It was Li Yunyan.
Meng Hao furrowed his brow; he hadn’t expected Li Yunyan to appear here, and in such a manner.
“Li Yunyan, why are you following me?” Meng Hao's voice held a note of caution.
Li Yunyan let out a light laugh and slowly walked toward Meng Hao, each step exuding a hint of seduction.
Her voice was soft, as if it could drip with water: “What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to be here? Or did you do something shameful that you’re afraid I might discover?”
She stopped just a step away from Meng Hao, and a faint, alluring fragrance instantly enveloped his senses.
Meng Hao instinctively took half a step back. He knew the danger of Li Yunyan; this woman was far more perilous than the assassins from Youmingfu.
“Don’t play tricks,” Meng Hao said coldly. “I don’t have time to waste with you.”
A glimmer of amusement flickered in Li Yunyan’s eyes. She extended her slender finger and lightly rested it on Meng Hao’s chest, tracing the outline of his muscles with a teasing tone: “How could this be a waste of time? There are still many ‘interesting’ things we can do together.”
Her gaze drifted down to Meng Hao’s empty left arm, and a barely perceptible greed flashed in her eyes.
“Besides, in your current state, isn’t it too risky for you to go after an assassin alone?” Li Yunyan’s smile took on a deeper meaning. “If you’re willing, I can help you…”
Meng Hao’s heart stirred. He knew there was more to her words; this woman would never offer her assistance without an ulterior motive.
Just as he hesitated, a sharp killing intent suddenly surged from the darkness!
A silver flash, like a venomous snake striking, aimed straight for Meng Hao’s back!
His expression changed. Without thinking, he swung the Heavenly Axe fiercely, and golden axe light erupted instantly, forming a shield behind him.
“Bang!” A loud crash echoed as the axe light collided with the silver flash, producing a piercing sound of metal clashing.
Meng Hao felt an immense force hit him, causing his body to stagger forward for two steps.
Turning around, he saw an assassin clad in dark clothing, wielding a poisoned dagger, lurking in the shadows of the trees with a sinister gaze fixed on him.
"Dog of the Youmingfu!" Meng Hao roared, tightening his grip on the Heavenly Axe, the runes on his Golden Arm glowing with brilliant light.
He charged at the assassin, swinging the Heavenly Axe with the force of Opening Up the Heavens and Splitting the Earth, bringing it down fiercely!
The assassin clearly did not expect Meng Hao's reaction to be so swift. He had no time to dodge and could only raise his dagger to block.
"Crack!" The dagger was instantly severed by the Heavenly Axe, and the assassin let out a scream as he was sent flying by the overwhelming force, crashing heavily against a tree trunk.
Meng Hao did not give him a moment to breathe. He stepped forward, swinging the Heavenly Axe once more, the golden axe light surging toward the assassin like a tidal wave.
However, just as the axe light was about to engulf the assassin, Li Yunyan's figure appeared before him like a ghost.
She struck out with her palm towards the Heavenly Axe, and in an instant, her black palm shadow collided with the axe light, producing a deafening roar.
Meng Hao felt a chilling internal force emanating from the axe's blade, causing him to involuntarily take two steps back.
Looking up, he saw Li Yunyan standing in front of the assassin. Her face was somewhat pale, but a strange smile curled at her lips.
"Meng Hao, why are you in such a hurry?" Li Yunyan's voice carried a hint of provocation. "How about... we talk first?"
Taking advantage of this moment, the assassin struggled to stand up, dark projectiles appearing in his hands, ready to strike.
Meng Hao regarded Li Yunyan warily.
He knew that this woman was certainly not acting out of kindness.
"What is there to talk about?" Meng Hao asked coldly.
Li Yunyan let out a playful laugh. She looked at Meng Hao, her eyes shimmering with an unusual light. "Of course, it's about... how you can become stronger."
Her voice carried a hint of seduction, like the whisper of a devil, piercing directly into Meng Hao's heart.
"Look at you now, with only one arm. Facing the assassins from Youmingfu must be quite a challenge, huh?" Li Yunyan gently caressed Meng Hao's chest, her voice becoming even more alluring. "If you're willing, I can help you gain greater power... as long as you agree to do one thing for me..."
Meng Hao's heart raced. He knew how terrifying Li Yunyan's temptation could be.
He craved power, yearned for strength, but he also understood that Li Yunyan's intentions were far from simple.
In the moment of his hesitation, the assassin suddenly hurled a hidden weapon!
The dark projectile sliced through the night sky with a sharp whistle, aimed straight at Meng Hao's face!
"Meng Hao, watch out!" Li Yunyan exclaimed suddenly. She pushed Meng Hao hard, causing him to veer off course in an instant.
However, this very action made Meng Hao lose the best opportunity to evade.
"Thud!" The hidden weapon grazed Meng Hao's left shoulder, instantly leaving a gruesome wound.
A sharp pain surged through him, and Meng Hao couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
He quickly raised his head, glaring at Li Yunyan with anger and questioning in his eyes.
Li Yunyan's face showed a hint of panic. She covered her mouth, her eyes filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, Meng Hao. I didn't mean to..."
Looking at her "innocent" expression, fury blazed within Meng Hao.
He knew that Li Yunyan had done it on purpose!
This woman had actually used his hesitation to set him up!
"You..." Meng Hao gritted his teeth, suddenly raising the Heavenly Axe. A burst of golden light erupted from the axe, shooting straight at Li Yunyan!
Li Yunyan's expression changed; she clearly hadn't expected Meng Hao to attack so suddenly, and with such overwhelming power!
There was no time to dodge. She could only channel her energy, and the shadow of her black palm collided with the axe's light in an instant.
"Boom!" A deafening sound echoed as Li Yunyan was knocked back several steps by the immense force. A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and her face grew even paler.
"Meng Hao, you... you actually attacked me?" Li Yunyan's eyes were filled with a sense of grievance, her voice trembling slightly.
However, Meng Hao ignored her.
He swiftly turned around, fixing his gaze on the assassin who was attempting to escape. His eyes were filled with a chilling murderous intent.
He knew this was not the time to linger on Li Yunyan.
He had to deal with this assassin first!
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Meng Hao roared, unleashing the full power of his Golden Arm. His body transformed into a streak of golden lightning as he charged toward the assassin.
The assassin clearly hadn't anticipated that Meng Hao could move so quickly even after being injured!
With no time to evade, he could only turn abruptly and raise the remaining half of his dagger, stabbing it toward Meng Hao.
"Looking for death!" A fierce glint flashed in Meng Hao's eyes as he swung the Heavenly Axe. The golden light enveloped the assassin in an instant.
"Ah—!" The assassin let out a piercing scream as his body was torn apart by the axe's light, dissolving into a mist of blood that vanished into the air.
Meng Hao panted heavily, watching the dissipating blood mist with coldness in his eyes.
He had dealt with the assassin, but the anger in his heart showed no signs of fading.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Li Yunyan, his eyes filled with scrutiny.
Li Yunyan's face was somewhat pale as she met Meng Hao's furious gaze, her heart trembling involuntarily.
She knew that Meng Hao had begun to suspect her.
“Meng Hao, you…” Li Yunyan started to say something, but was interrupted by Meng Hao.
“Li Yunyan, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking,” Meng Hao said coldly. “You’ve used me and stirred up trouble; what is your true purpose?!”
Li Yunyan's eyes flickered for a moment as she forced a smile. “Meng Hao, I really just want to help you…”
“Help me?” Meng Hao scoffed, taking deliberate steps toward Li Yunyan. The Heavenly Axe in his hand radiated a chilling light. “Are you helping me, or are you using me?”
Li Yunyan instinctively took a few steps back. She looked into Meng Hao's oppressive gaze and felt a surge of panic.
She knew that Meng Hao was no longer the simple woodcutter he once was.
His eyes held a sharpness that seemed to see through everything, making her feel utterly exposed.
“I…” Li Yunyan opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words.
Meng Hao stopped in front of Li Yunyan, suddenly raising the Heavenly Axe above her. The blade hovered near her neck, and the icy chill instantly froze her body in place.
“Li Yunyan, what secrets do you have?” Meng Hao’s voice was like that from hell, filled with an overwhelming pressure. “Don’t force me to take action against you!”
Li Yunyan's body trembled slightly as she looked into Meng Hao's eyes filled with murderous intent, feeling fear for the first time.
She knew that Meng Hao was serious.
He would really kill her.
A flicker of struggle and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
She thought of her plans, of her goals.
She could not die here, and she could not let Meng Hao ruin her plans!
“Meng Hao, let me go!” Li Yunyan suddenly struggled, but the Heavenly Axe in Meng Hao's hand remained unmoved.
“Speak!!” Meng Hao shouted angrily, thrusting the Heavenly Axe forward. The sharp blade cut into Li Yunyan's skin, a drop of blood slowly trickling down the edge.
The cold blade, carrying the threat of death, made Li Yunyan completely give up her struggle.
She closed her eyes, a tear rolling down her cheek, her voice tinged with despair: “Alright… I’ll tell you…”
Meng Hao looked at the despair on Li Yunyan's face, but his anger did not wane in the slightest.
He knew that this woman harbored too many secrets.
