Li Zimo nodded slightly. He glanced at everyone and had a plan in mind.

He whispered to Lin Yi and Su Qing:

"They are just thirteen warriors of around level five. I can handle them."

After saying this, he slowly stood up, his figure straight and his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could see through the darkness of the night and directly into the soul of the man in black.

He said to the group of men in black in a deep voice:

"Everyone from the Evil Shadow Sect, I have no intention of making enemies with you, but among these people, there are my close friends. Could you please show some mercy and let them go?"

The leader of the men in black heard this and sneered, his tone full of disdain:

"Humph, who do you think you are? You want me to let him go? Dream on!"

Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand and ordered:

"Go! Catch them! These two thieves from the martial arts academy have kept us chasing for so long. Once we catch them, we'll make them taste our magic!"

Following his order, four men in black rushed towards Li Zimo and the other two like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

However, Li Zimo was agile and his sword flashed like a weave, instantly killing all the men in black who rushed up.

His swordsmanship was sharp and precise, and every strike was just right, which was breathtaking.

Seeing their companions fall one after another, the remaining men in black could no longer hold back and rushed towards Li Zimo with roars.

But Li Zimo was like a god of war, his swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and wherever he passed, the men in black fell down one after another, and screams were heard everywhere.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the black-clothed leader's face turned pale in an instant, and despair surged in his heart.

He knew very well that he was no match for Li Zimo, so he made up his mind and decided to abandon his men and escape alone.

He suddenly grabbed a young woman from the martial arts academy beside him and ran into the darkness with her.

Seeing this, a hint of coldness flashed in Li Zimo's eyes, but he did not hesitate.

He quickly dealt with the remaining men in black, then spread out his body, and with his unique dark night eyes, he shuttled through the dark night like a ghost and quickly approached the leader in black.

Just when he finally approached the black-clothed leader, Li Zimo shouted loudly, suddenly accelerated his body, and slashed at the black-clothed leader with a sword.

When the man in black saw Li Zimo coming, he hurriedly pulled off the belt of the woman in his arms, and then threw the woman towards Li Zimo, trying to delay Li Zimo's attack, and then left quickly without even looking back.

The woman's clothes slipped off in the air, and she lost her balance and crashed into Li Zimo in dishevel.

Seeing this, Li Zimo was startled and quickly retracted the sword that was about to fall. At the same time, he stretched out a hand and firmly embraced her slender and soft waist.

The woman was only wearing a thin undergarment. When she touched Li Zimo's warm palm, her face turned red instantly. She lowered her head shyly, not daring to look directly into Li Zimo's eyes.

She just lay quietly in Li Zimo's arms, holding Li Zimo's waist tightly to prevent herself from falling.

Li Zimo felt the woman's shyness and helplessness, and a surge of anger surged in his heart.

He knew very well that these evil villains from the Evil Shadow Sect were ruthless and used despicable means. If they were not completely eradicated today, innocent people would probably be harmed in the future.

So, he used his spiritual power and displayed his martial arts skills. With a flash of his body, he caught up with the black-clothed leader who was already exhausted.

Seeing this, the leader in black knew that he had no way to escape, so he knelt on the ground and tried to beg for mercy from Li Zimo.

But Li Zimo remained unmoved. He looked at the other person coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

He held the woman in his arms, and with both swords, he ended the life of the black-clad leader cleanly and neatly.

As the black-clad leader fell, the air around him seemed to freeze.

Li Zimo gently withdrew his gaze from the distant night and instead looked down at the shy young woman in his arms.

He drew a gentle smile on his face and said softly:

"Senior Sister, we meet again."

The woman was slightly startled when she heard this, then looked up at Li Zimo, her eyes full of confusion and doubt.

She had no memory of meeting this young man, so she asked softly:

"Sir, have we... met before?"

Li Zimo's smile deepened upon hearing this, and he patiently explained:

"Senior Sister, my name is Li Zimo. A few months ago, when I was taking the martial arts test at the Martial Arts Academy, you personally tested me. However, I was not talented at that time and was only at the lower yellow level, so I failed the test."

Hearing this, a hint of realization flashed in the woman's eyes. She looked at Li Zimo's face carefully and finally recognized this young man who she once thought was mediocre in talent.

She covered her mouth in surprise, with a hint of disbelief in her voice:

"Ah, it's you! I remember you were only a first-level martial artist back then. How come you're a martial artist now? And... you killed so many masters from the Evil Shadow Sect?"

Li Zimo smiled and shook his head, as if recalling his experiences during this period:

"Yes, Senior Sister. As the saying goes, 'A scholar who has been away for three days should be looked at with new eyes.' During this period of time, I have experienced a lot and learned a lot. That is why I have made the progress I have today."

After hearing this, the woman's eyes flashed with admiration and relief.

She patted her chest lightly, as if she felt a little annoyed for not recognizing Li Zimo just now.

Then, she raised her head and said to Li Zimo with a firm gaze:

"Li Zimo, your progress is truly impressive. I believe that you will be able to go further on the path of martial arts in the future."

Li Zimo nodded gratefully, knowing that this recognition meant a lot to him.

Feeling Li Zimo's slightly burning gaze, the beautiful senior sister's cheeks flushed red again, and her shyness was beyond words.

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes evasive, as if even the air had become a little uneasy.

She was secretly upset in her heart, wondering why she appeared in front of Li Zimo in such an embarrassing state under such circumstances.

I wanted to say something to ease the awkwardness, but I felt that any words would be so pale and powerless.

Finally, she mustered up the courage, bit her lower lip lightly, and said in a voice that only she could hear:

"Li Zimo, thank you... for saving me."

Although this sentence is simple, it contains the senior sister's deep gratitude to Li Zimo.

She was grateful to him for stepping up at the critical moment and saving her from danger.

At the same time, this sentence seemed to open a conversation box, easing the atmosphere between the two people a little.

Li Zimo smiled slightly when he heard this, and that smile was warm and sincere.

He said softly:

"You're welcome, Senior Sister. This is what I should do. Besides, I believe that no matter who it is, they will make the same choice."

After saying this, Li Zimo seemed to really realize the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, as well as the sudden awkwardness.

He smiled lightly, trying to ease the tension with a more relaxed topic, so he changed the subject and asked:

"Senior Sister, I still don't know your name?"
