"Whoosh"

A stone flew from Black Arrow's left hand, aiming straight for Chu Ge's head. Chu Ge, still with his back turned to Black Arrow, seemed as if he had eyes on the back of his head; he slightly tilted his head, and the stone skimmed past his ear.

As Chu Ge tilted his head and the stone hit the wall with a "pat," an almost imperceptible sound of something slicing through the air echoed in the silence. The Crossbow Arrow, like a shooting star, rushed towards Chu Ge's back.

Chu Ge suddenly twisted his right foot, his body drawing a forty-five-degree arc, and the Crossbow Arrow brushed past him. Although it was merely a hair's breadth away, it didn't cause him any harm.

In fact, when Black Arrow threw that stone, she never expected it to hit Chu Ge. It was just a diversionary tactic, with the Crossbow Arrow behind it being her true killer move.

In Black Arrow's mind, no matter how calm this guy named Chu Ge might be, in such a life-and-death situation, silent and unaware of where a deadly arrow could suddenly shoot from, he would inevitably feel a tremendous pressure.

Even a little stone would surely tug at his taut nerves. Facing that stone, as long as Chu Ge showed even a hint of panic or hesitation and moved slightly larger, her Crossbow Arrow could take his life.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ge dodged once again with a method that could be described as an art, seemingly avoiding it with incredible composure.

"This man is indeed a worthy opponent for me!"

Black Arrow's long and narrow eyes shone with increasing excitement, making the hunt all the more interesting for her.

A missed attack naturally exposed Black Arrow's position. Without waiting for Chu Ge to approach, she immediately retreated.

Chu Ge was also not in a hurry to pursue, because he enjoyed this life-and-death game even more than Black Arrow.

In the silent building, the sound of something slicing through the air echoed intermittently. Chu Ge brushed past death time and again, and Black Arrow's arrows steadily decreased.

While you chase and I flee, finally, the two stood face to face in a room. Black Arrow discarded her hand crossbow, which had only one arrow left, and her hands now held a pair of obviously specially made Fist Spikes.

The Fist Spikes were jet black, forming a strong visual contrast with Black Arrow's pale fingers. Except for the thumbs, the other eight knuckles had a sharp protrusion about three centimeters long. If they hit a person's body, they would undoubtedly gouge out several bloody holes.

"You are strong, stronger than I imagined. To complete this mission and to show respect for you, I think I must give my all."

Black Arrow no longer dodged, her eyes fixed intensely on Chu Ge's, her hands with the Fist Spikes slowly opening their five fingers before suddenly clenching tightly in a combat stance.

Seeing Black Arrow's slightly strange starting posture, with arms slightly drooping and her body swaying like a willow in the wind, Chu Ge was momentarily stunned, a hint of oddity in his eyes.

"Ha, it truly is my honor."

"Indeed it is."

Chu Ge wanted to say more, but from the look of things, it seemed not quite suitable to voice the questions in his mind at the moment.

Because Black Arrow had already charged forward.

In an instant, they were tangled in combat, shadows of fists and legs intertwined with the dark glimmer of the Fist Spikes on Black Arrow's hands, resounding with non-stop "bangs" in the air.

Chu Ge was taller than Black Arrow, with longer arms and legs, moving even faster. Black Arrow, after barely blocking a few of Chu Ge's punches and kicks, felt a massive shock in her heart, and both her arms along with her tiger's mouth throbbed with a numbing ache.

Although Black Arrow had long dismissed any underestimation, fully alert, she suddenly realized she seemed to have still underestimated the man before her. If it was merely about martial arts, it might not even take a minute or two before she would be taken down by him.

"How can this person be so formidable? It seems I can only use my ultimate move now."

Black Arrow decisively turned and ran after forcing Chu Ge back with a punch, seemingly admitting defeat and about to abandon the hunt.

Chu Ge immediately chased after her, hearing the footsteps behind, Black Arrow couldn't help but coldly smile. They say not to chase a cornered enemy, hasn't this guy ever heard of it?

What's more, she was certainly no cornered enemy; her temporary retreat was just for the next step of the attack!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Despite the door being right in front, Black Arrow didn't escape through it. Using inertia, she took three steps up the wall, vertically stepping onto it, forcefully pushing off with her feet, and suddenly did a backflip in mid-air.

Originally, her back faced Chu Ge, but in that split second, their positions reversed, and in her line of sight was Chu Ge's back.

Die!

Black Arrow's long, narrow eyes gleamed, and her right thumb suddenly pressed an inconspicuous protrusion on the Fist Spike. The four sharp protrusions at the knuckles of the Fist Spike suddenly **** out, like four arrows even swifter than crossbow bolts.

Ironically, this strike that was supposed to hit without fail ended up missing Chu Ge's body!

Black Arrow simply couldn't comprehend Chu Ge's reaction!

He didn't even turn back? Instead, like she had done earlier, he charged straight toward the wall! The mechanism on the Fist Spike, with all four sharp spikes, was nailed deep into the wall!

Then, they saw Chu Ge's feet take several steps on the wall, perpendicular to the wall, more than the steps she had just taken, with even better balance.

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible! Is this guy even human?"

Although it wasn't the right time to admire an opponent, Black Arrow couldn't help but think this for a second.

However, her astonishment didn't delay her actions. With her left hand also armed with the Fist Spike, she abruptly pressed the mechanism, and another four spikes flew out, darting towards Chu Ge's next landing point.

It's all over. There will be no more surprises. No matter how strong he is, he... is doomed.

At that moment, Black Arrow actually felt a bit of regret. This was the first time in her life she encountered such a powerful opponent, and yet she couldn't rely on true strength, but had to resort to such a scheme to take him down. It was hard for her not to feel a lingering sense of dissatisfaction.

Just as Black Arrow was having these thoughts, something happened in front of her that left her even more bewildered!

Chu Ge did not proceed as she expected with the next step, but instead, as if defying the laws of inertia and knowing in advance what she would do, suddenly stopped his forward momentum, pushed off the wall with a strong kick, and like a cannonball ejected from the chamber, lunged towards her.

Black Arrow's pupils contracted sharply; at that moment, she lost the ability to think.

In less than a second, Chu Ge descended from above, and Black Arrow finally regained her senses to use her final significant move.

Even though she had never used this move before, she had no doubt that since she had pulled out her ultimate hidden kill, the man before her, who had repeatedly left her in disbelief, had absolutely no chance of surviving!

With a sudden crossing of her arms in front of her chest, Black Arrow performed her final move, named Heaven and Earth Net!

Though she was prepared to use Heaven and Earth Net, when the moment truly arrived, she couldn't help but sigh; it was a pity for such a powerful expert.

Without the reliance on this move, Heaven and Earth Net, she probably wouldn't be a match for this man even if she trained for another decade!

Black Arrow clenched her fist because, on this point, she didn't want to admit it, but she had no choice.

She knew, in the next moment, this man's body would break into pieces, turning from a whole into a heap of bloody fragments.

It's over; this time, everything really is over. There's absolutely no way anything else could happen.

The wind picked up a bit, the rolling clouds obscuring the moon subtly moved away, and a sliver of light shone through the window, revealing something on Black Arrow's chest, a cold gleam impossible to see with the naked eye.

"Thud!"

Chu Ge's feet landed on the ground in front of Black Arrow, making a dull sound.

Black Arrow furrowed her brows. Why did this man not use his inertia to propel himself onto her body? Why? Under normal circumstances, anyone would do that, right?

In her confusion, Chu Ge kept moving, suddenly flipping forward, over Black Arrow's head, landing beside her. Before she could turn her head, his right hand shot out like a clamp, gripping Black Arrow's shoulder tightly.

"Could it be... that he's figured out the secret of Heaven and Earth Net? Impossible! Everything is seamless, flawless, this is absolutely impossible!"

Chu Ge applied a strong force, nearly crushing Black Arrow's shoulder, but at that moment, she didn't feel any pain, only an indescribable astonishment spreading wildly in her heart.

It wasn't until a second later that Black Arrow felt the excruciating pain, snapping her out of her extreme confusion.

Although she no longer had any more fierce methods, she knew very well that not resisting meant death, or maybe even a fate worse than death.

Instinctively, Black Arrow bit down hard, and the shoulder caught by Chu Ge suddenly started trembling violently with a strange rhythm.

It wasn't out of fear; at this moment, Black Arrow was only thinking about how to survive or at least die with more dignity. She had no time for fear; her trembling was just a technique to escape an opponent's grasp.

Partly because Chu Ge was wearing gloves with relatively less friction, and partly due to Black Arrow's skill, a sudden tearing sound was heard in the air. A small shirt on Black Arrow's body was ripped open, and she immediately broke free from Chu Ge's control, quickly running away.

At this moment, Chu Ge reflected on his initial suspicion, growing more certain, and as he watched Black Arrow's silhouette, his eyes flashed with a hint of mockery.
