Chapter 2468

The black-clad men quickly got up from the ground, the coldness in their eyes more intense than before.

The two of them cracked their necks, and Baili Xia could clearly hear the crunching sound.

They exchanged a glance and suddenly moved.

One of them charged towards Wu Ming, while the other went directly for Baili Xia who stood at a distance.

Baili Xia instantly understood their plan; capturing her would force Wu Ming to submit.

Without a moment of hesitation, she immediately ran up the hillside.

Wu Ming felt a tightness in his chest and swiftly chased after Baili Xia.

After only taking two steps, the figure of the black-clad man blocked his path.

Wu Ming growled low, “Get out of the way.”

The black-clad man only looked at him, holding a dagger in front of him defensively, with no intention of fighting him immediately.

Wu Ming’s eyes darkened, and he shot towards him at lightning speed.

This time, even faster than before.

The black-clad man only saw a flash before his eyes, and before he could swing his dagger, his nose was hit with a heavy punch.

It felt like smashing a colorful vase, stars exploding before his eyes.

The pain in his nose overwhelmed him, making him momentarily lose the ability to fight, and he fell to the ground.

In that brief moment, Wu Ming had already flashed past him, heading towards the black-clad man chasing Baili Xia.

The black-clad man felt the wind stir behind him, and sensed an inexplicable, terrifying danger approaching.

Without thinking twice, he slashed the dagger behind him.

But before he could see Wu Ming, he felt a heavy blow to his temple.

Everything went black as he fell straight to the ground.

Baili Xia was rescued, she let out a sigh of relief and looked towards the ground.

From the black-clad man’s ear, a trail of blood seeped out, and he probably couldn’t get up again.

Suddenly, her gaze landed on the black-clad man behind Wu Ming, and her beautiful eyes widened.

The dark muzzle of a gun was pointed directly at her.

Seeing Wu Ming blocking his way, the black-clad man, unable to complete the mission, intended to kill Baili Xia directly.

At such a close range, dodging was impossible.

She had already experienced life and death once at the Mu family, putting an end to the past.

But she couldn’t die like this; she had just reconciled with her father, she hadn’t yet uncovered the truth of her mother’s death, she hadn’t even had the chance to meet her grandfather.

BANG… a gunshot.

Baili Xia closed her eyes, was she really going to die here today?

Suddenly, she felt as if something had hit her heavily, sending her flying.

She quickly opened her eyes and saw two figures collapsed on the ground.

The black-clad man lay there, a dagger embedded in his forehead.

“Wu Ming…”

Baili Xia’s heart tightened, and she hurriedly got up and ran towards Wu Ming.

Just now, it was Wu Ming who had knocked her away and simultaneously dealt with the black-clad man.

She didn’t know how he accomplished all this in such a short time, but Baili Xia had no time to ponder.

Wu Ming propped himself up on the ground and stood.

Baili Xia ran to his side, her eyes scanning him.

But under his black clothes, she couldn’t see anything.

“Wu Ming, are you okay? Are you hurt?”

Wu Ming shook his head slightly, brushing past her without giving her much time to inspect him.

He walked over to the black-clad man and checked him.

Confirming he was dead, he then looked up at Baili Xia and said, “We must leave here quickly.”

Seeing a hint of urgency on Wu Ming’s face, Baili Xia replied, “Okay.”
