stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had thought the youth meant to save her—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>never expecting a strike more merciless than her

fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staggering backward, she glared in fury and disbelief at the masked youth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then turned and fled into a pitch-dark alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why attack me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her anguished cry echoed through the bloody night wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When have I ever wronged

shaken, she cast a glance behind—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the black-clad youth still chasing, relentless as shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart cursed fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the roof she sprang again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>bounding from eave to eave,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>fleeing deeper into the twisted maze of the inner city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian's black robes

last—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian halted atop a slanted rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him rose a tangled maze of buildings,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>layer upon layer, woven together like a colossal hive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood alone on a jutting eave,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his black garments whipping in the wind,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the dim purple moonlight glinting off his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows furrowed as he swept his gaze over the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trail of blood on the ground… ended here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air in the

ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow appeared silently amid the honeycomb structures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li
