...
In a small, dense wood beside the main road, a petite figure was running for her life.
She kept glancing back over her shoulder, her face a mask of terror.
"Terrifying. Utterly terrifying."
The petite woman in black wiped her forehead, only to find it drenched in cold sweat.
'This is too much, just way too much. Why did I ever take this job?' the petite, masked woman thought.
Every time she looked back at the woods, she felt a terrifying pressure wash over her entire body, making her heart tremble.
She didn't know who her target was this time, only that she was supposed to wait on this main road.
But she never, ever expected to be met by someone so horrifying.
Her partner, an expert in the Unity Realm, was pierced by blood-red Sword Qi in an instant, with no chance to even fight back.
The sight had left her trembling uncontrollably, feeling as if she were being stalked by some malevolent specter.
