Ran Yan immediately dropped to the ground, and with a swoosh, a knife flashing cold light flew over her head and embedded itself in the tree trunk ahead, the blade humming loudly.
Without a moment's breath, another whooshing sound of wind approached.
Ran Yan quickly flipped over, her eyes wide as she watched a large wooden bat as thick as an arm attack her face. Without any time to focus on anything else, she lifted her dagger to block the bat.
But the strength of the person was clearly much greater than Ran Yan's, and her block only served as a fierce buffer; the bat still struck the top of her head, but with weakened force, sparing her from being knocked unconscious.
Ran Yan rolled away from the attacker's range and, after catching her breath, she saw the assailant: dressed in black, their entire head was tightly wrapped, revealing only a pair of eyes.
