Sang Huaixiang grew wary, hesitation flashing in his eyes.
For the sake of his own safety... had he not spoken those words earlier, he might well have abandoned the thought of violating Su Huaijin.
But now that the words had left his mouth and he had torn off all pretense, how could he possibly turn back?
Compared with the risks Su Huaijin spoke of, letting her go and waiting for the Hall of Affairs to hold him accountable would clearly bring far graver consequences.
When that time came, there would likely be no place for him anywhere inside or outside the manor.
Therefore, Su Huaijin absolutely could not be allowed to leave alive!
After a brief hesitation, Sang Huaixiang resolutely moved toward Su Huaijin. The lechery in his eyes had faded somewhat, but the killing intent in his heart had only grown stronger.
Su Huaijin retreated in panic again and again, desperately trying to mobilize the energy within her body, but it was of no use.
The Innate Deadly Poison unleashed in the Black Markings Blue Lizard's dying counterattack was simply too overbearing. It had completely cut off her control over her own spiritual energy. Forget those frightening secret arts—she likely could not even wield strength at the Five Elements Realm level.
Seeing this, Lu Feng hurriedly prepared to reveal himself and save her. But just as he rose, he saw Su Huaijin suddenly grab a dagger and press it to her own throat...
"Don't come any closer!" Su Huaijin cried out in desperate fury. "Even if I die, I will never let you defile me!"
This scene made Lu Feng pause mid-motion. He had clearly never expected a woman like Su Huaijin, with the temperament of a social butterfly, to possess such an unyielding side that would rather die
