At the bottom of the cliff in mid-autumn, Chen Jue knew very well that they could not be trapped there forever and they had to find a way out as soon as possible.

They held hands and walked slowly along the river, the gurgling water making a clear sound as if cheering them on.

Chen Jue remained vigilant at all times, knowing that danger could arise at any time at the bottom of this unknown cliff.

Chen Jia followed Chen Jue closely. Although she was a little scared, she felt extremely safe with Chen Jue around.

After walking for a while, Chen Jue suddenly stopped. His eyes became serious, as if he had sensed some danger.

Chen Jia looked at him nervously and asked, "Ajue, what's wrong?"

Chen Jue lowered his voice and said, "Sister, be careful, I feel there is danger."

Chen Jia's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she held Chen Jue's hand tightly.

At this moment, the atmosphere around me suddenly became extremely depressing. The leaves seemed to have stopped swaying, and even the sound of the river seemed to have weakened a lot.

A light sound of footsteps came from a distance. The sound was very light, but it hit their hearts like a drumbeat.

Gradually, several dark figures slowly walked out from the shadows of the woods. These killers were dressed in black, with black cloth covering their faces, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes. Their steps were steady and powerful, and each step brought a chilling sense of oppression.

The sharp blade in his hand flashed coldly in the dim light, as if foreshadowing the coming blood and killing.

The leading killer had a grim look in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Chen Jue and Chen Jia as if he was staring at his prey.

They approached step by step, and the murderous atmosphere instantly filled the entire bottom of the cliff.

Chen Jue immediately protected Chen Jia behind him, his eyes full of determination and courage. "Sister, don't be afraid, I'm here."

He said. Chen Jia looked at Chen Jue's back, her heart filled with emotion and worry.

Without saying a word, the assassins rushed towards them. Chen Jue was not afraid at all and went forward to engage in a fierce battle with them.

Chen Jue shook the sword in his hand, and a flash of cold light flashed. The first killer pounced on him like a cheetah, and the sharp blade in his hand pierced Chen Jue's chest with a sharp sound.

Chen Jue's eyes flashed, and he slightly tilted his body. His long sword stretched out like a snake, accurately blocking the killer's attack.

The swords collided with each other, making a crisp collision sound and sparks flying. Chen Jue turned around and swept his sword across, forcing the killer back.

Then, two more assassins attacked from both sides at the same time. The assassin on the left swung his sword fiercely and chopped Chen Jue's shoulder.

Chen Jue slipped and stepped back quickly, while raising his sword to block the attack.

The killer on the right took the opportunity to stab Chen Jue in the abdomen. Chen Jue reacted extremely quickly, turned sideways, and slashed down with his sword to block the killer's sword.

His movements were smooth and fluid, without any hesitation.

However, the killers did not stop there. They kept changing their attack methods, sometimes stabbing, sometimes sweeping, sometimes feinting, and sometimes raiding.

Chen Jue responded calmly. His eyes remained calm and focused as he kept looking for the killers' flaws.

An assassin suddenly jumped high up and slashed down from above with a sword. Chen Jue hurriedly stepped back and raised his sword to block.

The killer's strength was so great that Chen Jue's arms went numb. But he did not flinch at all. Instead, he used the killer's strength to slide back a distance, then turned around and thrust his sword out like lightning, directly into the killer's chest.

The killer dodged in a hurry, but was still scratched on the arm by Chen Jue.

Another killer took the opportunity to attack from behind, but Chen Jue seemed to have eyes on his back and kicked the killer away with a backward kick.

Then he turned quickly, and his sword danced like a whirlwind, forcing back the killers around him.

The killers continued to attack Chen Jue, trying to find his weakness.

However, Chen Jue remained calm throughout the fight, dodging the assassins' attacks skillfully while looking for opportunities to counterattack. He had only one thought in mind, which was to protect Chen Jia.

Chen Jia nervously watched Chen Jue fight with the killers from the side, her heart almost in her throat.

She wanted to step forward to help, but she knew that her strength was limited and going forward would only cause trouble for Chen Jue.

She could only pray silently for Chen Jue in her heart, hoping that he would be safe.

The battle lasted for a while. Seeing that it was difficult to capture Chen Jue, the killers began to use a rotation strategy.

After one killer attacks for a while, he immediately retreats and another killer takes over.

This tactic gradually made Chen Jue feel a little tired, and his physical strength was constantly being consumed.

But Chen Jue did not retreat at all. He gritted his teeth and continued to fight tenaciously.

He knew that he could not fall down, as if he did, Chen Jia would be in danger.

An assassin took the opportunity to swing his sword at Chen Jue's chest. Chen Jue hurriedly blocked it with his sword, but his arm became numb from the assassin's strength.

Another killer attacked from behind. Chen Jue had no time to turn around and could only dodge sideways, but was still scratched on the shoulder by the sword.

Chen Jia was filled with grief and anger when she saw Chen Jue was injured. She picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the killers.

Although her power was small, her actions took the killers by surprise.

Chen Jue was moved by Chen Jia's bravery. He knew he couldn't fall down, and he had to protect Chen Jia.

He used all his strength to pull out the sword that had pierced his body, and then rushed towards the killers.

Chen Jue's momentum frightened the assassins, and they began to retreat. Chen Jue took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, repelling the assassins one by one. Finally, seeing how tenacious Chen Jue was, the assassins knew they could not succeed, so they fled.

Chen Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the assassins leave. His body was shaky, but he still managed to walk to Chen Jia's side.

When Chen Jia saw Chen Jue covered in blood, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Ajue, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Chen Jia said crying.

Chen Jue smiled weakly and said, "Sister, I'm fine, as long as you're fine."

Chen Jia hugged Chen Jue tightly and said, "Jue, why are you so stupid? What should I do if anything happens to you?"

Chen Jue gently patted Chen Jia's back and said, "Sister, I will be fine. We will definitely get out of here."

They rested for a while at the bottom of the cliff, and Chen Jia bandaged Chen Jue's wound. Although the wound was painful, Chen Jue did not groan. He looked at Chen Jia's gentle eyes, and his heart was filled with happiness.

After this battle, they became more determined to get out of the cliff. Holding hands, they continued to move along the river, looking for a way out of the cliff.
