2237 Both familiar and unfamiliar
The black-robed man’s fighting technique didn’t allow any chance of survival for other people, not even the Direct Line. Did he want to take every group in the Independent State, including the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch, down with him?
Ye Wanwan watched the black-robed man. This man was truly too dangerous and was a radical and belligerent character. He didn’t care about the fate of the Direct Line he was leading at all…
The battle intensified as time passed.
Every faction in the Independent State sustained heavy losses. Neither the Direct Line nor the Collateral Branch gained a trace of advantage and reaped nothing but enormous losses.
If they continued to fight like this, every person would be killed and at that time, the Independent State would turn into an empty shell.
All the factions started to sway and started to regard the black-robed man as an enemy.
Even people from the Direct Line were unwilling to listen to the black-robed man’s supposed combat strategy or lend a hand when the black-robed man was besieged.
At this moment, the black-robed man was completely surrounded by a dozen or so experts from the collateral ancient clans.
However, while these experts were strong, they still couldn’t subdue the black-robed man.
Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but shake her head. Where the heck did these experts come from? There were a dozen of them, but they couldn’t even win against one person.
“Blah! Twelve versus one! How extremely shameless of you!”
Ye Wanwan insulted the dozen or so experts from the collateral ancient clans.
“I’m from the Direct Line’s side. I came to help you.”
As Ye Wanwan spoke, she leaped up and landed next to the black-robed man. She promptly attacked the experts of the collateral ancient clans.
The dozen or so experts from the collateral ancient clans became puzzled. What in the world was Worriless Nie doing…
“Since you’re serious… we’ll fight back!” an expert shouted coldly at her.
They were going easy on this woman in every way they could, but she attacked extremely fiercely.
Ye Wanwan didn’t explain and imperceptibly surveyed the black-robed man instead.
Soon, Ye Wanwan found an opportunity and the dagger in her hand ruthlessly pierced toward the black-robed man.
However, the black-robed man reacted immensely quick and tilted slightly back in a fraction of second.
Although the dagger didn’t take his life, it hit him with a “bang,” and the wooden mask over his face was knocked off by the dagger.
When Ye Wanwan saw the remarkably familiar face under the mask, she froze in her spot and her mind turned blank, forgetting to breathe…
That pretty face with an inscrutable smile was very familiar but also extremely unfamiliar.
Ye Wanwan never expected this face to be underneath the mask.
A face that she missed with every fiber of her being.
“You’ve turned more and more astute,” the man quietly commented with a smile.
Nearby, the four great clans turned to the man. When they saw the mysterious black-robed man’s true appearance, their astonishment wasn’t any less than Ye Wanwan’s.
No one expected that vicious and malevolent black-robed person to have such a familiar face.
A greater surprise was that this man had actually appeared and also with this identity.
Just what in the world was he thinking…? Why did he do something like this…? What was his objective…?
“Ah-Jiu, that person… isn’t he…”
Xie Qianchuan glanced at the black-robed man near Ye Wanwan before quickly turning to Si Yehan next to him.
