Encircled Attack

The lingering force of the blade light did not diminish, vanishing in a flash.

Li Chen's body froze where he stood, shock and unwillingness still lingering on his scarred face.

He slowly lowered his head and looked toward his chest.

A wound stretched down to his abdomen, so deep that he could even see his own beating heart.

"Bang!!!"

Lu Yuan threw a punch.

Li Chen's beating heart instantly burst apart.

Then he fell straight backward.

The five or six martial artists were frightened out of their wits and tried to flee.

However, under Lu Yuan's Cloudtrace Carefree Art,

none of them had any chance of escaping. A few breaths later, they all lay dead beside the Cold Pool.

Lin Ruoxue stood there blankly, looking at the figure slowly sheathing his blade. Her cool eyes were filled with shock.

"Senior Brother Lu, you... you..."

Lin Ruoxue stammered for a long while without managing to form a complete sentence.

Lu Yuan cut her off. "Take me to Master and the others..."

He had to reunite with Master as soon as possible. That way, he could learn news of his family as well.

"Alright, alright... I'll take you there."

Lin Ruoxue nodded.

Lu Yuan took out two porcelain bottles from his robes, poured out two antidote pills, and handed them to Lin Ruoxue. "This snake venom is vicious. It cannot be delayed."

Lin Ruoxue accepted the pills without hesitation. She swallowed one on the spot, then swiftly crushed the other between her teeth and carefully applied it to her wound.

As the pill entered her stomach, Lin Ruoxue felt a cool sensation spread through her body.

The numbness in her meridians quickly receded.

"Senior Brother Lu..."

"Let's go. We can talk on the way."

Soon afterward, the two left the Cold Pool
