Ancient Assassin Meets Modern-day Career Woman

Chapter 1: Heaven descends

Views:

Above the rugged cliffs, the moon looked exceptionally huge, with a strange purple halo looming over it.

In the distance, dark clouds were rolling in the sky and pressing towards this side. Occasionally, lightning would momentarily illuminate the sky and earth, and muffled thunder could be heard faintly.

Many black figures were leaping on the high cliff, with sword lights cutting through the night as they clashed fiercely.

The collision of the blades produced brief sparks that disappeared into the night in an instant, so fast that no one could see them. In the brief moment, the sound of bells could be heard incessantly on the empty cliff. It was unknown how many moves had been exchanged.

The murderous intent in it is so irritating that it gives people goosebumps.

Looking closely, it was more than a dozen people surrounding and killing a man in black.

The man in black attacked with ruthlessness, risky moves, and deadly blows. Every move was a way of dying together with the opponent, and he was always able to force the opponent to retreat between life and death.

The rolling dark clouds pressed down on the top of the head in an instant. In one place, there was a faint purple light, which was the position where the moon was just seen.

But the people who were being hunted had no time to look up. The torches had all fallen during the pursuit, the night was as dark as ink, and the figure of the man in black who was being hunted was like a ghost, and suddenly he appeared before their eyes.

Even though they knew that the men in black would eventually die because of their numbers, their own lives were hanging by a thread, and no one dared to relax for even a moment.

Her boyfriend was several years younger than her and was still a student. He was tall, long-legged, and handsome with abs. Ruan Qing was fascinated by his face and supported him for two years. She ate, drank, and spent money on him, and she paid for his tuition.

But at this moment, another flash of lightning illuminated the earth! A strange white light enveloped the person falling in mid-air.

The man in black swung his sword, and the blade drew a bright light in the dark night, forcing back the man who was about to kill him. Taking advantage of this momentary gap, the man in black jumped off the high cliff—

Campus romance in college was unreliable, and later the blind dates arranged by my parents were also unreliable. I originally thought that I could raise one myself this time, but I didn’t expect it to be a scam as well.

"If you don't follow male ethics, die before me!"

She left her hometown and lived alone in Jiangcheng. Here she had only colleagues but no friends. She had a meeting at the company tomorrow and couldn't afford to get drunk after a breakup. She could only vent her anger in the deserted suburbs.

Finally, the man in black had nowhere to retreat. He could see fire and shadows on the way back, and more pursuers were catching up with him. The man in black saw that they were holding crossbows, and he knew that there was no way out in front of him, and behind him... behind him was a cliff.

The thunder shook the world, and the figure of the man in black was no longer seen. He just disappeared like that.

"If you keep judging people by their looks, I'll be a dog!"

Of course it wasn't suicide. As he fell rapidly, he had already taken out the steel claws from his waist. The steel claws shot out and firmly grasped the cliff rock, slowing down his falling speed.

Otherwise, her money was wasted

This is the same reason why idols rely on their fans for a living and therefore cannot fall in love.

The emotional injury was not deep, it was just a passionate love between urban men and women. But as a man, you have to be a man of virtue. Since you eat and drink her food, you have to be a man of virtue.

Ruan Qing sat on the empty river beach and sucked the last sip of milk tea into her mouth. After chewing the pearls hard and swallowing them, she stood up and threw the crumpled milk tea cup into the river!

"I swear! I will never spend a penny on a man again!"

In this dazzling moment, the man in black killed two people in a row! Everyone was shocked!

But it was immediately apparent that the man in black was nearly exhausted and at the end of his strength.

In another time and space, there was no wind or cloud, but the night sky was clear with twinkling stars.

After learning from her mistakes, she swore to the deserted river that she would never keep a gigolo again! She would not keep any milk dog or wolf dog!

I was so happy that I thought I had raised a little wolfdog, but the little wolfdog turned out to cheat on me.

Everyone shouted and coordinated the siege, gradually forcing the man in black to the edge of the cliff.

Lightning split the earth, and the sky and the earth suddenly became as bright as day.

No matter how the other party tried to admit his mistakes and ask for forgiveness with sweet words, Ruan Qing caught him in the act today and angrily drove the guy out of his house.

Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a car was parked diagonally on a quiet river beach in the suburbs.

Shouting out in the empty, dark night will have a faint echo. It feels much better when you can vent your anger.

Today I start to be single again, and tomorrow is a new beginning.

Ruan Qing let out a long breath, feeling better after venting his emotions, and prepared to go back. With a glance, he saw that the milk tea cup he had just thrown out was stuck in the crack of the rocks on the shallow shore.

It seems not good to litter.

Ruan Qing gritted his teeth, but ultimately he couldn't resist years of quality education, so he threw off his shoes and walked barefoot through the water to pick up the things.

The tap water in the city is warm in midsummer, but the water in this natural river is still cold, especially at night.

Ruan Qing bent down swiftly, picked up the cup of milk tea, and hurried back to the shore. He shook the water off his feet and put on his sandals. He looked around and realized that this was not a scenic spot, but a wild river under a suburban highway. Not to mention the trash cans, even the lights were borrowed from the light on the distant highway.

Ruan Qing had no choice but to hold the milk tea cup, thinking of putting it in a garbage bag in the car first and then throwing it away when she got home.

As I was walking towards my car, I suddenly saw a bright white light in the sky!

It always feels wrong to say "bright night", but at this moment, what Ruan Qing saw was indeed as bright as day - a ball of purple cloud rolled in the sky, and dazzling white light shot out from the center of the vortex.

Under such clear light, Ruan Qing watched helplessly as a person fell straight down from the cloud vortex, and hit the roof of her car with a "bang"! Then he was bounced up, fell onto the hood, and then rolled to the ground!

Just, it feels... painful.

Then the white light disappeared and the purple clouds dissipated. The only light source came from the street lights on the distant highway, and the night returned to its proper dimness. It was as if the strange spectacle had never existed.

Ruan Qing was stunned.

She was stunned for several seconds before she reacted. She glanced at the empty night sky and hurried over to check on the person on the ground.

As soon as I squatted down, I smelled a strong smell of blood. The man was wrapped in black and lying face down.

"Hello? Hello?" She gently poked the person on the ground. "Are you okay? Hello?"

The man in black didn't react at all.

Ruan Qing had no choice but to hold his shoulders and forcefully turn his body over.

Suddenly, my wrist was grabbed with a force as strong as a pliers!

For a moment, Ruan Qing almost thought that his bones were about to be crushed.

In the dim light, she saw a pair of bright eyes. Ruan Qing was stunned. How could a person's eyes be so bright

The man with his face covered with a black cloth saw clearly that the person in front of him was not a pursuer, but a woman, and for a moment he seemed to show a look of relief.

The next moment, he closed his eyes, and the hand that was holding Ruan Qing's wrist loosened and fell to the ground.

This scene was particularly like the scene in a TV drama where a man kicks his legs after leaving the last half of his last words. Ruan Qing almost thought he was dead.

Ruan Qing touched his nose with shaking hands to confirm that he was still alive, then he quickly took out his cell phone and called an ambulance.

After explaining the location clearly and hanging up the phone, I looked at the unconscious man lying on the ground in front of me.

This man is tall and slender, wearing a black suit... Is this a Hanfu? Anyway, it is the kind of ancient costume with a cross collar and right lapel. The whole body is black, from head to toe. It looks like a nightgown in a TV drama.

No, it doesn't look like that, he's still covering his face, this must be a nightgown!

Looking more closely, he was not only wearing an ancient costume like a black nightgown, he even had his hair in a bun.

It's the ancient men's bun!

Ruan Qing's heart suddenly began to beat fast, and she felt that she was in trouble this time. And it might be the kind of thing that only happened in novels!

She stood up and walked to the side of the car to take a look. The roof of the car was crushed and deformed. This was the impact that could only be caused by a free fall from a great height.

But when I looked up, it was a clear summer night with a bright moon and few stars, and there was nothing in the sky.

Turning around, I saw an empty river beach under the road. Because it was in the suburbs and not a scenic spot, there was no artificial greenery. There was some dirt and weeds near the road, and there were pebbles near the river.

There is not even a tree.

The chances of him even jumping down from the tree are 0%.

There weren't any planes flying over just now. A passenger plane couldn't have dropped people, and a helicopter couldn't have been motionless. Fighter planes... forget about fighter planes.

After ruling out all impossibilities, the only answer left is that this man in ancient costume... really appeared out of nowhere!

Ruan Qing couldn't help but take a deep breath and took a step back. Suddenly, he stepped on something.

She looked down, then bent over and picked up the thing.

Something long and narrow, is it a sword

No. Swords are straight and double-edged. This one looks straight overall, but it actually has a slight curve and is edged on one side.

This is a knife.

Yes, Ruan Qing knew that the real ancient knives were not the big blades in the old black-and-white movies or stage operas. The real practical knives in ancient times were like this.

There was still blood on the blade.

Ruan Qing's hand holding the knife was shaking slightly.

She glanced at the man in black lying on the ground, pursed her lips, opened the trunk of the car, and put the knife in first.

Then I squatted down and looked at the man, and pulled off the black cloth covering his face, revealing a handsome face with long eyebrows, a straight nose, and a very charming angular jaw.

He appeared out of nowhere, dressed in ancient costume, with his hair tied up in a bun and holding a steel knife.

Ruan Qing took a deep breath.

Could it be what she was thinking
