The ferocious eyes of the man in black flashed with a beast-like light in the moonlight. The sharp blade in his hand was like a bloodthirsty beast, and every swing was carried with violent murderous intent.

He held Liu Yaoyao hostage as if she were a lamb to be slaughtered, with a smug grin on his face.

"You trash, how dare you block my way!" the man in black roared, his voice full of ferocity and disdain.

He brandished the blade, forcing the officers and soldiers to retreat again and again, as if it were a violent storm that no one dared to provoke.

Liu Yaoyao was held hostage by the man in black and was so frightened that her face turned pale. She struggled desperately, but the power disparity was too great and she could only watch herself being taken to the edge of the cliff by the man in black.

"Let me go! You bastard!" Liu Yaoyao screamed, her voice filled with fear and despair.

The man in black seemed not to hear her words. He grinned and took Liu Yaoyao aside.

"There is no way ahead, let the princess go!" On the edge of the cliff, the officers and soldiers who caught up with them pointed breathlessly at the man in black who was holding Liu Yaoyao hostage, their voices full of threats.

The man in black seemed not to have heard anything. He stared with a pair of fierce eyes, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if saying: "Humph, do you think you can scare me like this? I came prepared!"

Ling Chenyu, who came to pick up Liu Yaoyao, saw this thrilling scene at a glance, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if hit by a sledgehammer.

He was afraid of hurting Liu Yaoyao by force, but he didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly shouted: "Stop! Everything can be discussed!"

Hearing this, the man in black turned his head and glanced at Ling Chenyu, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "Hey, isn't this the suave Prince Chen? Why, do you want to get involved too?"

Ling Chenyu cursed in his heart: "Get involved? I want to kick you twice!" But on the surface, he had to pretend to be friendly and make money: "Brother, you misunderstood. I just came to pick up my princess and have no other intentions. If you let her go, I will ensure that you leave safely, how about it?"

The man in black laughed as if he had heard a joke. He said, "Hahaha! Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Let her go? Then I'll be dead!"

Ling Chenyu thought to himself: "This guy is a smart guy, it's not easy to fool him."

But he refused to give up: "You can't say that. If you let the princess go, I promise that no one will embarrass you. Besides, you know that my princess is not an ordinary woman. If anything happens to her, everyone in my palace will suffer!"

There was a hint of hesitation in the black-clad man's eyes.

Seeing this, Ling Chenyu was delighted, thinking that his words had worked.

Unexpectedly, the man in black suddenly burst into laughter: "Prince Chen, you are quite good at talking. But do you think I will let the princess go just because of your words? Humph, I'm telling you, I'm here to take her life today!"

Ling Chenyu frowned, and his heart suddenly sank.

"Why are you so stubborn? If you release the princess, I will give you some money and let you run away. How about that?" Ling Chenyu tried to impress the man in black with money.

Unexpectedly, the man in black curled his lips with extreme disdain.

Seeing the man in black being so stubborn, Ling Chenyu couldn't help but feel anxious.

Talking like this was useless, so he decided to take another approach.

He suddenly put on a playful look and said to the man in black, "Brother, how about this? You release the princess, and I'll treat you to some wine and meat, and we can have a good chat about life." He gestured to the guards with his hands behind his back.

When the man in black heard this, he was stunned.

At this moment, Liu Yaoyao suddenly spoke up, "Hey, you big bad guy! Do you think you can threaten everyone by holding me hostage? Let me tell you, I'm not some spoiled princess, I know martial arts!"

As Liu Yaoyao spoke, she made a few fist gestures. Although it looked a little funny, it eased the tense atmosphere a little.

The man in black was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. He seemed to think Liu Yaoyao's behavior was very funny and didn't take her words to heart at all.

"Hahaha! You little girl, you know martial arts? Stop teasing me! I think you'd better be obedient and don't waste my kindness towards you!" said the man in black, deliberately pushing Liu Yaoyao to the edge of the cliff with a playful smile on his face.

Liu Yaoyao was so frightened by this push that her face turned pale. She frantically grabbed a small tree on the edge of the cliff and barely managed to steady herself.

She looked at the man in black in horror, her eyes full of anger and fear: "You, you big bad guy! Let me go!"

Ling Chenyu was very anxious. He waved his hands back, signaling the guards not to force it.

If we force our way through now, Liu Yaoyao will probably be put in a more dangerous situation.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calmer: "Don't be impulsive! If you do this, you will only get yourself into deeper trouble. Let the princess go, and I promise not to embarrass you."

The man in black seemed not to hear his words and continued to look at Liu Yaoyao jokingly: "Little girl, do you think you can escape by grabbing this small tree? Let me tell you, you can't escape today!"

As he said that, he pushed Liu Yaoyao hard again.

Liu Yaoyao suddenly felt her body shake, and the small tree in her hands seemed unable to bear her weight and began to sway.

She was terrified and tears welled up in her eyes: "Help! Someone save me!"

At this moment, Ling Chenyu suddenly flashed and rushed towards the man in black like an agile cheetah.

The man in black fought back as usual, and as soon as he used his move, he accidentally hit the small tree that Liu Yaoyao was holding on to.

Liu Yaoyao screamed, her little hand slipped, and she fell off the cliff like a kite with a broken string.

"Yaoyao!" Ling Chenyu exclaimed, his heart felt like it was pierced by thousands of arrows, the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.

He watched Liu Yaoyao fall, his eyes full of despair and helplessness.

At this critical moment, Ling Chenyu suddenly had an idea. He suddenly took off his coat and threw it towards Liu Yaoyao.

The coat drew a graceful arc in the air and landed accurately on Liu Yaoyao's body.

Unfortunately, Liu Yaoyao was so frightened that she didn't seize the opportunity at all and fell directly into a free fall.
