Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

……

Although Shen Ye himself doesn't know any light-footed skills, he can still move high and low by relying on his strong physique and professional abilities. He can easily leap dozens or even hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye. After all, in this martial arts world with a fantasy element, the professional abilities he can use are basically not restricted.

Therefore, even though Ji Ruxue's figure was elusive and ghostly, he was still able to keep up with her with ease.

To avoid being discovered, he didn't follow too closely, keeping a distance from Ji Ruxue. Only when the distance became a little too great did he speed up.

A few minutes later, the two had crossed a small part of the city and arrived at a residential area with a complex terrain. At this moment, the two were quite far apart. Before Shen Ye could speed up, Ji Ruxue suddenly turned around and landed in an alley. By the time Shen Ye jumped over, she had already disappeared.

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then immediately held his breath and focused his mind to sense it. However, most of the disciples of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion were assassins, and they were most skilled at the secret techniques of concealing their aura and hiding their figures. Shen Ye did not sense it at all.

After standing there stunned for a long time, Shen Ye sighed, "No wonder the Xuanming Sect could be lost in broad daylight. Huanyin Pavilion is indeed quite capable."

Shaking his head helplessly, Shen Ye could only return to the inn first. Anyway, according to the plot, Ji Ruxue should not leave Yuzhou City in the next few days, so he could just go to the city gate and wait for her.

……

In the bedroom of a small house in a residential area, Ji Ruxue exchanged greetings with several young women and then asked, "Are the things ready?"

These disciples of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion were spies stationed in Yuzhou, specializing in intelligence work. The leader of the disciples nodded, turned around, and took a small box from under the bed. He opened it and placed it on the table in front of Ji Ruxue, saying:

"For the past few days, people from the Xuanming Sect have been searching the city. Once you have this item, you must be careful and deliver it to the Empress as soon as possible."

Ji Ruxue glanced at the fire spirit mushroom in the box, smelled the fragrant aroma, then closed the lid and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I'll leave the city tonight."

As she spoke, she took a bundle from behind her, wrapped the box in it, and tied it around her waist.

Seeing that she had put the box away, one of the female disciples of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion said, "For your safety's sake, let's escort you out of the city."

Ji Ruxue shook her head: "No need. Too many people will only attract the attention of the Xuanming Sect. I can manage on my own."

"Alright then, be careful." The female disciple didn't insist, but simply gave a word of advice.

Ji Ruxue hummed in agreement and turned to walk towards the door. However, as soon as she opened the door, a sharp arrow shot towards her with a whistling sound.

Although Ji Ruxue's current strength is only at the mid-star level, her reaction is not slow at all. Moreover, as a disciple of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion, she has some dance background. Faced with the incoming arrow, her body subconsciously bent backward sharply at an exaggerated angle, narrowly dodging the deadly arrow.

But the disciples of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion behind her were not so lucky. One of them was pierced through the chest by an arrow and pinned to the ground.

Seeing their sisters pinned to the ground, the other disciples of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion inside the room finally reacted. However, their first reaction was not to check on their sisters' condition, but to draw their swords, smash the window, and rush out.

"Xue'er, hurry up, we'll escort you out of the city."

At this moment, arrows were already raining down. The leading disciple of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion, while wielding his sword to deflect the arrows, shouted to Ji Ruxue.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruxue did not hesitate. She drew her longsword with one hand and pressed the bag at her waist with the other. Under the protection of the female disciples of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion, she prepared to climb over the wall to get out. After all, standing in the midst of a rain of arrows, if she tried to leap, she would probably be shot into a pincushion in mid-air.

However, just as she reached the wall, the rain of arrows thinned out, and then dozens of Xuanming Sect assassins jumped in from all sides of the courtyard, wielding their knives and attacking them.

Close combat is the most brutal. A disciple of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion had just forced back a Xuanming Sect assassin with a single palm strike when she was stabbed in the calf. Unable to stand, she was then struck by several more long swords, which hacked her to death.

Seeing another sister fall, Ji Ruxue and the remaining disciples of Huanyinfang had no time to grieve. Together they tore open a gap and leaped over the courtyard wall to the street.

But as soon as they landed, they saw that the streets were full of assassins from the Xuanming Sect. Upon seeing them, they immediately shouted and charged at them.

Fortunately, most of the Xuanming Sect assassins on the street were not even at the Lesser Star Rank. With the fierce fighting of Ji Ruxue and the other Huanyinfang sisters, they managed to break through, but two more sisters died under the hail of blades.

At this moment, Ji Ruxue only had the leading disciple of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion by her side, and he was injured in many places, with several arrows stuck in his calf, but he still gritted his teeth and protected Ji Ruxue.

After struggling to run through two streets, the disciple of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion finally couldn't hold on any longer, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.

Ji Ruxue turned around to help her, but was pushed away forcefully.

"Don't worry about me, take the Fire Spirit Mushroom and get out of the city, quick!"

Ji Ruxue gritted her teeth and finally chose to turn around and leave. Then, she heard the scream of the Huanyinfang disciple.

She didn't run very far before she was caught up by assassins from the Xuanming Sect on horseback.

Although she wanted to use her lightness skill to shake off her pursuers, she had already used it to travel and then fought for a while, so she was exhausted. She could only turn around and enter the alleys and lanes by the roadside, hoping to use the complex terrain to shake them off.

But as soon as she entered an alley, several assassins jumped down from the high walls on both sides. Although she fought hard to kill them, she accidentally inhaled the powder that one of the assassins had sprinkled on her before he died.

As an assassin organization, the Xuanming Sect was naturally an expert in using poison. Even though Ji Ruxue only inhaled a little, she immediately felt dizzy.

However, she didn't have time to use her internal energy to detoxify, and besides, with her mid-star strength, she couldn't reach that level anyway. She could only rely on her willpower to continue moving forward.

She staggered out of the alley through another exit, and there she saw that assassins from the Xuanming Sect were already patrolling that exit, and that someone had already spotted her.

"Am I... going to die here?" A hint of despair flashed in Ji Ruxue's eyes. Then she tore off the pouch at her waist and was about to destroy the Fire Spirit Mushroom on the spot.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind her and reached out to press down on her hand, which had already taken out the box.

Ji Ruxue was stunned at first, then turned around with all her might and thrust her sword at the person behind her, but the person easily grabbed her wrist, and then a familiar voice came to her ear.

"This is the third time we've met. If it's not fate, then it's really impossible."

"It's you again..." Ji Ruxue finally saw the face of the person in front of her clearly... Shen Ye.

……

(The addition of the main character changed the plot, so it's normal to add a hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress storyline, right? Hehe)

Chapter 382! Healing

……

Ji Ruxue never expected that the man she mistook for a beggar during the day would actually appear here. Including the time at the inn, this was the third time. At this moment, she was beginning to agree with Shen Ye's words that the two of them might really be destined for each other.

However, she was still just a young girl, and there were some things she couldn't say. She glanced at the Xuanming Cult assassins who had spotted them and were gradually closing in, and forced herself to say in a cold voice, "Let go of my hand, they're here."

But she was very weak, and her voice didn't sound cold at all.

"Ignore them, they're just a bunch of small fry. Besides, you can't even stand properly right now. If I let go of you, you'll probably fall down on the spot. And you just stabbed me with your sword." Shen Ye glanced at the Xuanming Sect assassins slowly approaching them, not taking them seriously at all.

Ji Ruxue shook her head slightly and said stubbornly, "I won't stab you anymore, and I... don't have the strength anymore. Let go."

"Alright, you'd better hold on tight." Shen Ye had no choice but to comply and release her wrist.

However, as soon as Shen Ye released her wrist, she lost her balance and slumped backward. Seeing this, Shen Ye quickly reached out and caught her by the waist.

To say he was supporting her was a bit of an exaggeration; it would be more accurate to say he was holding her. After all, Ji Ruxue was still a young girl, and she had the dance training from the Huan Yin Fang, making her incredibly flexible. To prevent her from hitting her head on the ground, Shen Ye had no choice but to reluctantly hold her in his arms.

"Look, we lost out big time, didn't we?" Shen Ye said jokingly, looking at Ji Ruxue in his arms.

Although Ji Ruxue was wearing a veil, and her face was not clearly visible in the moonlight, her pretty face under the veil was already flushed. She wanted to ask Shen Ye to let go again, but she also knew that she didn't even have the strength to stand up, so she could only remain silent.

Just then, she saw several Xuanming Cult assassins suddenly jump up and slash at Shen Ye, who had his back to them. She quickly shouted, "Watch out behind you!"

But Shen Ye didn't even turn his head. He simply clenched his right hand, and the Xuanming Sect assassins who had jumped up seemed to be frozen in time, fixed in mid-air by an invisible force.

Why disturb my reunion with my 'old friends'?

Then, Shen Ye turned around and glanced at them. He then clenched his fingers together, and a series of cracking sounds rang out as he crushed the bones of the Xuanming Sect assassins.

This scene not only shocked the other Xuanming Sect assassins who rushed to the scene, but also shocked Ji Ruxue. She couldn't believe that the seemingly ordinary man in front of her was so strong, and the techniques he used were ones she had never seen before.

"His strength is probably as great as the Empress's," she thought, but because of her weakness, she could barely keep her eyes open.

The strongest person Ji Ruxue had ever met was the leader of the Huanyin Pavilion, who was also the Empress of Qishan Kingdom. Naturally, she compared Shen Ye to the Empress.

"Who are you, and why are you obstructing the Xuanming Sect's operations?"

After being shocked by Shen Ye's method of killing people in the void, the Xuanming Sect assassins who rushed over upon hearing the news tacitly took a few steps back. Even though their numbers had increased to over a hundred in a short period of time, none of them were confident. After a while, one of the Xuanming Sect's minor leaders finally spoke up to ask.

Shen Ye was too lazy to answer such a boring question. He glanced at Ji Ruxue in his arms and found that her forehead was covered in sweat. He knew that she was in so much pain because of her serious injuries. He thought that he could not delay any longer, so he picked up the Suxin Sword that Ji Ruxue had dropped on the ground and pointed it at the group of Xuanming Sect assassins.

Seeing Shen Ye's actions, a nameless fear arose in the hearts of every Xuanming Sect assassin.

"Run."

Someone in the crowd shouted something, and the Xuanming Cult assassins all turned around and tried to escape.

Before they could even take a step, they were suddenly greeted by a flurry of cherry blossoms falling from the sky.

Then, a low, whispered voice rang in everyone's ears: "Die!"

Then a flash of light appeared!

Pfft!

Blood splattered everywhere!

The heads of the hundreds of Xuanming Cult assassins fell to the ground in unison.

At this moment, Ji Ruxue was already in a semi-conscious state and naturally did not see such a spectacular scene.

……

It's easy to go out, but hard to come back.

It took Shen Ye more than half an hour to find the inn where he was staying, and he only found it by accidentally catching a glimpse of Ji Ruxue's open window.

Because Ji Ruxue's window was open, Shen Ye simply carried Ji Ruxue through the window into her room, carefully placed her on the bed, and then began to check her injuries.

Aside from the small amount of poison she inhaled, Ji Ruxue had three knife wounds: one on her shoulder, one on her lower abdomen, and one on her leg.

Although the wounds were not deep and Ji Ruxue had already stopped the bleeding by applying acupressure, they could still become infected if left untreated.

The location of these three wounds is just too convenient. Treating each wound requires taking off clothes, and it looks like quite a lot of clothes need to be removed, basically requiring stripping naked.

"However, isn't this the classic routine of the Bad Guys to heal and save people? Li Xingyun has done it, Zhang Zifan has done it, and if they can do it, why can't I?"

Shen Ye was initially a little embarrassed, since he was going to take off the young girl's clothes to treat her injuries, but then he thought about how the male leads in the Bad Guys series often did similar things, and he immediately understood.
