"You've made a lot of progress!"
Inside the cabin, gazing at Yuchi Feihu, who was covered in blood, just three feet away, the mysterious woman in black licked her fingers.
The black fingernails, laced with potent poison, had been chipped off, with faint purple blood seeping out. On the other hand, Yuchi Feihu was in a far worse state, bleeding profusely from his body, resembling a calf that had been bled dry. Crucially, his skin was a deep purplish-blue, clearly indicating he had been poisoned.
"If I remember correctly, you were only Second Rank martial artist before you left the capital, right? In just one year, you've actually reached a level close to the Above First Rank? And what kind of medicine did you use?"
The woman in black frowned slightly as she saw that the other person could still stand up.
His endurance is too strong.
The moment she recognized Yuchi Feihu, she decided against killing him. After all, the Yuchi Household was a powerful clan, and although they were on different sides, they might be able to be won over in the future. Rashly killing a direct descendant of another family would be tantamount to offending them to death, which was pointless.
But this little guy, if you don't go all out, it can really be a problem.
Several arterial wounds were ruptured, and the bleeding was so heavy, yet he was still able to persevere, especially considering he had used poison himself.
Those who know her well know she's a master of poisons, especially anesthetics. The amount of anesthetic she just used was enough for ten First Rank martial artists; how could this guy still stand up? What kind of physique does he have?
"Who exactly are you?" Yuchi Feihu gasped as he stood up, his mind so fogged up that he could barely keep his eyes open. Every wound felt like it had been stung by a poisonous bee, the pain intense, especially in his thighs. He didn't even know how he managed to stand up.
"Didn't your elders ever mention my name to you? You've certainly been well protected," the woman said with a smile, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Is it a matter of physical constitution or something else?
This kid is very strange. It seems like there's something special in his body that's slowing down the poisoning. Despite such severe bleeding and poisoning, he can still hold on.
If it weren't for the Yuchi Household, she might have been tempted to kidnap them and take them home for further study.
It's fortunate I arrived; otherwise, even with just my men, I might not have been able to snatch the person from this kid.
"Madam, we've found her!"
In the distance, from the shadows, several women dressed in black appeared as if out of thin air, their voices tinged with caution.
Yuchi Feihu looked over, and his pupils immediately contracted. In the hands of the women were Yun Yu'e and her daughter, who had been poisoned, while in the hands of the other women was the head of his trusted deputy general.
"Is it so difficult to find a little girl?" The woman looked at the pale-faced little girl with a smile.
The girl looked terrified, clearly sensing her extremely sinister malice.
"An interesting little fellow." The woman narrowed her eyes slightly. She had noticed her from a distance. This little girl was able to spot her from afar, and even managed to hide before she and her men boarded the ship. It seemed she had some secrets, but it didn't matter. She could take it back and study it slowly. She had plenty of ways to make a child reveal her secrets.
Several subordinates raised the severed heads in their hands and explained, "That girl is very cunning. It's as if she can know our location in advance. She's better at hiding than a rat. And these soldiers who are covering them are also strange. They have extremely strong resistance to poison, and their muscles and skin are stronger than those of ordinary warriors. We don't have the lady's quick-killing methods, so it took us some time."
The woman nodded slightly, accepting their explanation this time. She had noticed it herself when she made her move; these soldiers were much stronger than those from ordinary bloodline families.
"Take the head with you; it'll be perfect for me to study it carefully when I get back."
"Yes"
Looking back at Yuchi Feihu, he was covered in blood, his eyes closed, seemingly having given up the struggle.
"Heh," the woman sneered upon seeing this. This kid, after all, doesn't dare to really fight to the death. Just now he acted like he was willing to fight to the death for his men, but in the end, when it really comes down to life and death, he still knows what to choose.
But then again, humans are ultimately far more hypocritical.
Just as he was turning to leave with his men, he suddenly sensed something and abruptly looked into the distance!
That's in the south; something's getting closer.
Despite the deep darkness of the night, their eyesight was astonishing!
Even from tens of thousands of meters away, one could see that in the distance, beneath the waves, a massive warship was being swept by huge waves and approaching at an incredible speed!
"Madam, that's..." The subordinate was immediately stunned by the scene.
"This Chen Qing has some tricks up his sleeve." The woman sneered, "Ignore him, let's go!"
The group nodded repeatedly; they had no desire to face the seemingly imposing warship.
But just as she was about to move, Yuchi Feihu, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly pounced on the woman.
"Lady!"
"Looking for death?" The woman's eyes turned cold, and a shadow appeared beneath her black dress, once again stabbing towards Yuchi Feihu at an almost invisible speed. This time, the force was extraordinary, sparks flying in the air, clearly indicating that she intended to strike hard!
laugh!!
The metal pierced the flesh, and blood gushed out again, but this time, the woman in black frowned.
"Finally caught it!" Yuchi Feihu panted heavily, his muscles tense, veins bulging all over his body, looking extremely ferocious. However, the wound on his abdomen tightly gripped the shadow, and his hands also tightly hugged that thing in an instant.
Only then could it be clearly seen that it was a snake's tail, with a stinger at the end resembling that of a poisonous bee, like a dagger.
"So this is what it looks like." Yuchi Feihu clung tightly to the snake's tail, blood flowing continuously from his mouth, making his smile look even more ferocious.
"Do you really want to die?" The woman frowned. This guy's progress was obvious to the naked eye. From initially being completely unable to see her movements, he could now predict her attack location in advance and even grab her snake tail. He was truly remarkable. This talent was probably no less than that of Yuchi Peng.
But what's this guy trying to do, blocking my way like this? Is he risking his life to keep me here?
The woman gave a cold laugh and shook the wound violently, instantly causing it to burst open. The internal organs in the victim's abdomen were shaken so badly that they turned into tofu-like curds and flowed out of the wound.
But the woman's smile froze the next second!
The other party didn't let go!
This guy.
The woman suddenly looked into the distance. The giant ship was approaching very quickly, closing in within a few breaths. If this kid delayed them any longer, they might really be left behind!
"Senior," Yuchi Feihu chuckled, spitting out black blood, "You killed someone and don't want to leave anything behind?"
"You"
"Madam?" The subordinates in the distance were startled at first when they saw this scene. After they realized what was happening, they rushed forward, and poisoned weapons came from all directions toward Yuchi Feihu's vital points.
The woman, unable to pull her tail out of her grasp, felt a rare moment of anxiety. What was wrong with this guy?
If it were an ordinary First Rank martial artist, having been stabbed in the body, their internal organs would have been shattered long ago. Under such intense pain, if their muscles relaxed even slightly, he could have been cut in half at the waist.
But this kid's internal organs are far stronger than those of an ordinary martial artist. I didn't hold back at all just now, and he only shattered my stomach and intestines. Moreover, his muscles remained firm, as if the exaggerated injury was fake.
Are all the men in the Yuchi Household this tough?
Damn it!
As the ship drew ever closer, she hesitated to approach and use her weapon to finish him off. That kid was insane; if she got too close, he would relentlessly pursue her, and she might actually be able to be captured.
Seeing her men rush over, she no longer dared to be arrogant. With a flick of her tail, the tip broke off on its own, leaving the poisonous stinger that Yuchi Feihu Yuchi Feihu been holding onto permanently inside his body. Yuchi Feihu, having used all his strength in the tug-of-war with the woman, was caught off guard and sent flying backward. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the woman didn't hesitate to run off the ship, shouting, "Retreat!"
But in the next instant, just as she swiftly retreated to the deck to jump into the river, she suddenly realized something and looked sharply towards Yuchi Feihu!
Sure enough, Yuchi Feihu's face showed a smug expression when he saw him flying backward!
In an instant, she understood: this guy's target from the beginning wasn't her, but the mother and daughter!
Sure enough, Yuchi Feihu, who was flying backward, used the momentum to quickly pounce on the two henchmen who were holding the mother and daughter hostage. The two henchmen, who were preparing to retreat, had no idea that this would happen. The woman standing a little in front had no time to react before Yuchi Feihu pounced on her and crushed her head. Her whole body fell into the river along with the little girl!
The person holding Yun Yu'e hostage, who was standing further back, had a little more room to react and dodged quickly, but could only watch helplessly as Yuchi Feihu and her sisters fell into the river!
A sinister smile flashed across the leader's face, now utterly devoid of a tail. "Good lad, I'll remember you!!"
Without further hesitation, he led everyone and jumped into the river on the other side of the boat.
"Lord Tian?"
When Chen Ying arrived, it was already two hours later. As soon as she boarded the ship and smelled the strong stench of blood, she immediately felt a sense of foreboding and went to find Tian Heng.
"You've arrived?" Tian Heng looked at Chen Ying, his expression also grave.
Chen Ying glanced at the deck and saw about forty corpses covered with white sheets. Even through the sheets, she could smell the exaggerated stench of decay. Clearly, whoever did it had used some kind of unknown poison to decompose the bodies of the Battle God Guard in such a short time!
" Yuchi Feihu?" Chen Ying quickly located Yuchi Feihu's position.
On the deck, he was unconscious, his entire body a deep purple, with hardly a patch of unscathed flesh. Half a snake's tail and a venomous thorn were stuck in his abdomen. He was tightly clutching a little girl who looked to be only ten years old, showing no intention of letting go.
"That child is..."
"This is the child you wanted." Tian Heng nodded and said, "Don't move. This kid is in a state of confusion right now, his only thought is to protect the child. If you get close now, he might instinctively attack you."
"Still able to fight?" Chen Ying asked, looking at the other person's exaggerated injuries.
"That's hard to say," Tian Heng laughed. "This kid's a real hero!"
"Who did this?" Chen Ying's face darkened.
"Who else could it be but that vicious woman from the Lu Household?" Tian Heng's smile vanished, replaced by a grave expression.
Letting that woman get away could lead to endless trouble.
"How is that possible?" Chen Ying frowned upon hearing this. "My lord, they've been keeping a close eye on Minister Pang in Nanming Prefecture!"
"Um?"
Hehe, I got scolded, I got scolded. If you want the pace to be faster, then the Mofang should be faster too. Stop scolding the Mofang, the Mofang will work hard to improve!
