"Then I'll tell you one last time, the list is no longer on me! Aren't you worried about the retaliation from Fengyun Tower for provoking and hunting me down so recklessly?"

Upon hearing Yuan Yun's words, the man in black paused slightly, then a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"You, Luoyanlou, really think highly of me, sending such a large group of experts. However, I regret to inform you that you will not get the list. Even if you kill me, I will still say the same thing."

"Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences!" the black-clad leader gritted his teeth, a cold glint in his eyes. He gestured to the men in black behind him, "Everyone, attack together! We must get the list today!"

"Charge! Kill her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of men in black rushed forward, brandishing their sharp knives.

A cold wind blew, constantly lifting the veil on Yuan Yun's face. A cold glint flashed in her clear eyes. She sneered and walked down the steps, slowly drawing her short sword. The silver light of the sword was particularly dazzling and intimidating in the dark and hazy rain.

The men in black quickly rushed up and surrounded Yuan Yun.

A clear whistling sound rang out, and the short sword in Yuan Yun's hand suddenly flashed, radiating a cold light. Immediately afterwards, a chaotic clashing of swords and blades followed.

The crisscrossing sword energy shattered the silence of the rainy night. Countless streaks of cold light flashed and darted through the air. Yuan Yun's cold sword swiftly drew a magnificent silver arc, instantly slicing through the waist of several black-clad men charging ahead. Their shrill screams pierced the sky.

"Hold her down, quickly set up the formation!"

The leader in black roared and thrust his swift sword toward Yuan Yun's empty back. Yuan Yun shook off the two men in black blocking her way with a palm strike, then quickly turned around. A flash of silver light appeared, and the tip of her short sword suddenly met the tip of the leader's thrusting sword.

"If you want my life, then you'll see if you're capable enough. As long as I, Tianwenzi, am alive, this matter will not be left unresolved. Luoyanlou, just wait to be wiped out!"

Yuan Yun let out a cold, arrogant laugh, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and leaped into the air. With a quick spin, a cold, sharp glint flashed in the air, and the two men in black who were trying to sneak up from behind were instantly slashed on the arms. They couldn't help but scream in pain and retreat slightly. However, the men in black behind them continued to rush up.

Yuan Yun's words startled some of the men in black, but the leader of the men in black beside her said coldly, "If we don't get the list, going back will only mean certain death! We can only live if we get the list at the cost of our lives. This woman can't resist for long. Everyone, finish this quickly, force her into the formation, and kill her with the formation! The list must still be on her! Hurry!"

As soon as the leader in black finished speaking, the men in black nodded in unison, brandished their swift knives, and thrust them at Yuan Yun.

Meanwhile, more than a dozen men in black had formed a strange formation and were slowly approaching Yuan Yun from behind.

Feeling a chilling, sinister wind gathering behind her, Yuan Yun's heart sank. She was forced to dodge to the side. However, before she could react, the black-clad man on the other side thrust his blade forward. Yuan Yun reacted quickly and turned around to slash at the attacker with her sword. The black-clad man's shoulder was severed, but Yuan Yun's sleeve was also slashed open.

Before she could react, the sinister hurricane swept in from behind, instantly enveloping her. She felt her inner energy being suppressed, and the short sword she was swinging rapidly slowed down in an instant. As a result, she was stabbed several times on the arm, and the flowing blood quickly stained her light blue clothes.

She frowned, sensing something was wrong. The formations of Luoyan Tower were never simple, and she hadn't expected to be suppressed to the point of almost being unable to move. She gritted her teeth, turned around abruptly, and thrust her sword at the black-clad man who was setting up the formation in front of her, dangerously exposing her back to the enemy.

Amidst the glint of clashing swords, the black-clad leader spotted Yuan Yun's exposed back, sneered, and swiftly leaped into the air. He concentrated all his inner strength in his palm and struck towards Yuan Yun's back. However, a black afterimage swooped down from in front of him, and the howling wind almost ripped his clothes off. He felt a powerful surge of true energy sweep over him, slamming into his palm as he tried to imprint it on Yuan Yun's back.

A deafening boom echoed as the black-clad leader felt a jolt throughout his body. A sharp pain shot through his palm, causing him to scream in agony. A metallic taste surged from his throat, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a tree trunk. The sound of bones shattering filled the air as he spat out another mouthful of blood, his piercing scream sending chills down everyone's spine.

He struggled to lift his head and looked at the person who had suddenly made the move, only to find that a person wearing a black robe and a face mask had already charged into the formation.

"Sister Yun, are you alright?"

Sikong Jin slapped away two men in black who were trying to sneak up on Yuan Yun from behind. Two screams rang out as Sikong Jin cleaved the arms of the two men in black.

"I'm fine! Why aren't you leaving? What are you doing here? You're just being nosy!"

Yuan Yun glared at Sikong Jin, but her eyes flashed with a hint of gratitude. "They are no ordinary force. You don't need to provoke them just to help me!"

"I'm wearing a mask, so they won't recognize me!"

Sikong Jin finished speaking and quickly leaped up, rapidly gathering a powerful burst of true energy in her palm. She then blasted it towards the dozen or so men in black who were setting up the formation. The violent true energy caused the surrounding raindrops to change direction, and the rain and mud that were kicked up from the ground splashed all over them. Three of the men in black were directly blasted away by such savage internal force.

This person has incredible internal strength!

The men in black glanced at Sikong Jin in shock, hurriedly scrambled to their feet, looked at her with fear, and slowly retreated.

"Get out of here if you don't want to die, or I can't guarantee your fate will be any better than his!"

Sikong Jin uttered these words coldly, her sharp gaze sweeping over the black-clad leader screaming in agony under a nearby tree.

It was easy to see that the black-clad leader's arm had been shattered, and the bones in his limbs were broken. He was now spitting out mouthfuls of blood, lying there like a lump of mud, howling in pain.

The surviving man in black trembled, then hurriedly helped the injured man in black up and retreated in a panic.
