Take a loss?

No, no, no! The word 'loss' does not exist in Liu Zixuan's dictionary!

Although he was scratched by the Hooked Thorn, for Liu Zixuan, it was an injury that could be ignored!

The identity of the Shadow is very mysterious, and their strength is formidable, but all of them have a fatal weakness: after two consecutive sneak attacks fail, they basically run out of techniques! They can only rely on their agile Body Technique to dodge the opponent's attacks!

As Liu Zixuan's words fell, his figure suddenly paused, transforming into countless afterimages rushing towards the Shadow.

The Shadow's pupils contracted slightly: "You can actually match our speed, who exactly are you!"

"You don't have the right to ask questions!"

Liu Zixuan coldly shouted in his ear, and suddenly the Profound Thunder Needle appeared in his hand. The blood flowing from his arm seeped into the Profound Thunder Needle, and a dazzling thunderbolt appeared in the hallway, so bright that it made people instinctively close their eyes!

And at this instant, Liu Zixuan suddenly turned his hand and stabbed, directly piercing the back of the Shadow's head!

"Puff!"

A piercing sound was heard, and the black mask on the Shadow's face cracked open with a series of sounds.

Crack, crack...

The black mask gradually fell to the ground, revealing an extremely ugly face underneath!

Full of scars like centipedes, it looked somewhat disgusting.

At this moment, he had a shocked expression on his face, his pupils tightened together, slowly turned his head to look at Liu Zixuan: "You... you're the little boy next to that woman back then!"

"Congratulations on the correct answer! The reward is sending you to your death!" Liu Zixuan fiercely exerted force with his hand, directly stabbing the Profound Thunder Needle into the Shadow's head.

Then Liu Zixuan swiftly retreated three steps backward, and as he just stood firm, a crackling sound came from the Shadow from head to toe. Then the Shadow was completely incinerated by the Profound Thunder Needle!

Liu Zixuan looked at the slowly falling Profound Thunder Needle, revealing a complex expression!

"I really didn't expect, even the Shadows have appeared in the city."

The Shadows, or the power behind the Shadow, is an extremely complex force. No one knows how many people are in this force, what they look like, or their capabilities, not even the Shadow who just died!

Because they are just like shadows of people, not only do they always live in darkness, but they are also trained separately from a young age to be assassins like killers!

Usually, they curl up in sparsely populated areas and only appear when given tasks.

Furthermore, the people in this force don't have any complicated or unique names and are all collectively called Shadows!

As for why Liu Zixuan is so familiar, it's entirely because of his beautiful master. Back then, Liu Zixuan was about seven or eight years old, at a desperate point, almost about to die when he met his beautiful master in that desolate place.

The beautiful master happened to be learning from her master and descending the mountain. Seeing Liu Zixuan in a life-threatening situation, she took him up to Spirit Extinct Mountain together!

At that time, Spirit Extinct Mountain was a small training base for the Shadows!

The ensuing events were naturally simple; such a domineering beautiful woman like the master would never let go of a place she takes interest in. With powerful means, she drove away the few Shadows in that small base!

Following that, several Shadows came to retaliate one after another but were driven away by the beautiful master. Over time, they became familiar with this Shadow Power!

It's just that they hadn't shown up in the subsequent years, and gradually Liu Zixuan forgot about them!

Actually, speaking of it, it was also because of the Shadows that Liu Zixuan learned Medical Skills and Cultivation Techniques from the beautiful master!

...

Putting away the Profound Thunder Needle, he looked in the direction where Old Mei went!

His eyebrows raised: "The Shadow belongs to the Shadow Power, who exactly are you, old man? Today has truly been an eye-opener, how could someone as dangerous as you be left in the world!"

With these words, Liu Zixuan directly walked towards the room where Old Mei went.

This was next to the lounge just now, but the setup inside made Liu Zixuan quite shocked!

At this time, Old Mei had already dismantled all kinds of gear and hidden weapons, packing them into a box!

"Old guy, stop fiddling! When you reach the Ghost Gate, no one will want your junk!"

Liu Zixuan abruptly appeared behind Old Mei, making him startle and quickly turn his body around.

Vigilantly looking at Liu Zixuan: "Where is the Shadow?"

"You'll see him in a while!" Liu Zixuan shut the door behind him, walking step by step towards Old Mei: "Come on, I'll give you a chance; tell me exactly what's going on, why you are with Engu, and why the Shadow appeared!"

Old Mei frowned and took two steps back, reaching beside the large box, casually picking up two short knives, gesturing towards Liu Zixuan: "Dream on about getting information from me!"

"It's just unknown whether your body is as tough as your mouth!" Liu Zixuan's eyes turned cold, and several Silver Needles appeared at his fingertips, shooting directly at Old Mei.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The Silver Needles pierced through the air, mixed with a strong wind, directly aiming at Old Mei's face. Old Mei's expression changed drastically, and his right hand suddenly took out a ball-like object from his pocket, smashing it hard on the ground, instantly releasing a burst of smoke.

Liu Zixuan immediately activated his X-ray Vision, looking through the smoke towards the direction where Old Mei was just now.

"Damn it, I thought you were going to fight, but you're running pretty fast!" When Liu Zixuan reached the window, he saw Old Mei suddenly jump directly from the eleventh floor.

That's the eleventh floor!

Liu Zixuan rubbed his forehead, wondering if this old guy wouldn't splatter into a pancake jumping down! Staring intently down, but before Old Mei landed, a sudden exclamation came from outside!

"Ah! Let go of me!"

It's Zhou Nian!

Liu Zixuan's eyebrow rose, and he no longer cared about Old Mei, immediately running outside.

When he got outside, Zhou Nian had somehow woken up, but was held in Engu's arms, with a sharp blade pressing against her fair skin!

Liu Zixuan slapped his forehead, he had forgotten about this matter a moment ago!

Damn it!

"Let her go!" Liu Zixuan said in a low voice.

"I really didn't expect you to be so strong that even the Shadow and Old Mei couldn't handle you," Engu snarled with a ferocious face: "Then I definitely can't let you live, Liu Zixuan, listen carefully, kill yourself in front of me now, or I'll kill this woman!"

"No... don't listen to her," Zhou Nian panicked instantly!
