TanTan and the mask shadow have being out on the other side of opening hill, close to a side of a cliff When he feels safe, the mask shadow releases her. TanTan becomes aware and stays away from him.
"Who are you?!"
"Seems you have a lot of enemy, HuaMuTan..."
"You know my name?! Are you also my enemy?"
"Hmm...it depends..."
"Depends? depends what??" TanTan is not able to finish the words as the two killers has pursue them and ready to attack them again.
"Give me a weapon..." TanTan feels she have to fight, the enemies are two, so do they. Two vs two, it will be fair.
"What weapon?" the mask shadow surprises, he doesn’t expect TanTan want to fight also...
"Anything...quickly!!" urged TanTan as the enemies are getting close.
The mask shadow then giving TanTan a short dagger.
"Thanks..." and then TanTan and the mask shadow finally get their own foe, two by two.
TanTan in her quick reflex, manages to avoid any attacks, and by using her modern sword fighting style, he also manages to hurt her foe with the dagger. While the mask shadow is easily immobilized his foe. The mask shadow glances many times to TanTan during the fighting, and he feels curious why this HuaMuTan can fight so well, he even surprised more when TanTan successfully immobilized her foe also, TanTan manages to put her dagger stick to her foe’s neck,
"Tell me....who sent you to kill me?!" TanTan interrogates the killer but both of the killers decide to kill themselves by biting the poison seed in their mouth.
TanTan shocks and suddenly she feels pain, it because her back wound has open again, she lost her balance. The mask shadow grabs her body to stay steady and he concerns about her.
"Hey, are you okay?"
At that moment, Prince Li came and with his sword, he attacks the mask shadow who he thinks as part of the killers. The mask shadow manages to avoid the attack but he need to release TanTan. Prince Li catches TanTan with his free arm, hold her steadily.
The mask shadow makes a distance between them. He takes a step back coz he didn’t want Prince Li to recognize his real identity.
’Prince Li is here so she will be fine...its time to go...’ he thinks.
So he just flies away in the darkness of woods, leaving them both.
Prince Li is still holding TanTan, both of them seems just realizing how awkward their positions right now. Prince Li immediately lets TanTan go, causing TanTan almost falls but then gains her balance again.
Prince Li just glances to TanTan once, then he looks to the woods behind them.
"Do you know actually who wants your life?"
’Not asking how I am at all...what a ’gentleman’...ugh...my back’
"How do I know?" TanTan presses her pain feeling by turning her body from Prince Li. She walks avoiding Prince Li and noticing that she is standing face to a cliff, her mind is distracted when she looks to the cliff.
’Not to deep...but quite scary if we fall down there...’
"Ah, surely you don’t know, you have forgotten right? But although you don’t forget, I believe you also don’t know which one of your enemies who can’t wait to finish your life, coz they are too many to be counted... well its over for tonight, lets just go back...ShuangAi and FangFang have waiting for us"
Once again, TanTan feels unease in her heart,
’Alright...enough already, its so clear that you hate HuaMuTan! I get it!! But he should know that I’m not that HuaMuTan!!’ TanTan turns around,
"Listen...I am not...."
"WATCH OUT"
Prince Li notices that a dagger is flying toward TanTan. He takes action right away, he try to pull TanTan’s body from the dagger but then the dagger manages to stab his left shoulder. Then there comes another raid of the killers ,led by a wounded killer before. Although he got poisoned but as a professional assassin, he can reduce the effect with the antidote he had and now he tries to fulfill his job completely by using the same poisonous dagger that attacked him just now, and with his new company that just arrived before the mask shadow took TanTan away.
Now Its around five killers ambush Prince Li and TanTan. Prince Li and TanTan try their best to defend, but they are lost in numbers and not in their optimal condition.
The killers manage to corner them until the edge of the cliff.
From the killers’ behind, a help comes.
"Master!!" Its ManQi, he attacks three killers at once. But the other two killers, including the wounded one has focus to attack TanTan and Prince Li.
