Nanke had no hope that her two maids could cause Zhexiu any trouble.
She only needed her two maids to attack.
That branch that had silently burned to ash contained a fierce poison, and it had also activated a killing array on the terrace.
She had also prepared twenty-nine plans for Zhexiu.
This was an ambush that she had prepared for a very long time.
Nanke's capabilities meant that this ambush was flawless. Every particular was perfect.
As long as Zhexiu had not prepared beforehand, he would definitely be defeated and then killed by her.
Even though he was now a peak Star Condensation expert, even though he had been publicly acknowledged ever since he was a child as a master in fighting.
Had Zhexiu expected Nanke to suddenly attack him?
The front of his shoes burst apart, revealing sharp and bright claws.
His body suddenly grew larger while his face and hands bristled with fur.
In an extremely short amount of time, his Qi grew several times stronger.
Without even walking out of the room, he had entered berserk metamorphosis. Then, gathering all his strength, he exploded toward Nanke!
How had he seen through her plans?
Nanke had a somewhat perplexed expression as she watched those gleaming claws slice through the air.
Those emotions were immediately expelled, her eyes turning as bright as the Moon in the snowy night.
Moonlight shone on the leaves outside the room, instantly dying them green.
Two streams of light penetrated through the wall and came behind her, forming into two wings of light.
In the narrow room, Nanke transformed into a blur. Through ten-some instantaneous movements, she managed to avoid Zhexiu's attack.
The room simply could not endure this. In a burst of snaps and creaks, it shattered into thousands of pieces that rained down to the ground.
The leaves on the branches also rustled down, much like rain.
In this downpour of leaves and wood shards, two figures descended.
Two heavy thuds resounded through the air as they crashed to the ground, sending dirt flying.
Zhexiu's clothes were torn all over, each cut extremely smooth and tinged with dark green.
Some of the cuts were deeper than the rest and had blood surging out. The red mixing with green looked both strange and disgusting.
The Peacock Plume was Nanke's most terrifying weapon. Not even Chen Changsheng's skin, toughened through perfect Purification and a bath of dragon blood, could fully stop it, and neither could Zhexiu.
Zhexiu's eyes were already red because of the berserk metamorphosis, but now they were dirt-yellow, probably because he had been poisoned.
Nanke's wounds were even worse. A massive tear had been made on her left wing and a deep wound had been left on her neck. The blood flowing out, however, was black.
”How did you know that I would move tonight?”
Nanke had decided to leave long ago. Even if she waited until tomorrow, the result would be the same.
Tomorrow, Zhexiu would tell the Mount Li Sword Sect, and she had no confidence in breaking through Mount Li's Myriad Sword Array.
Compared to tomorrow, it was far better to act first today.
”I didn't know that you would move today.”
Zhexiu said, ”I was intending to strike and kill you.”
It was the same reasoning.
He knew that Nanke would not change her mind, so he might as well bring the matter to a close today.
Nanke had been brought to Mount Li by Chen Changsheng, making this an internal matter of the Orthodox Academy. He did not want to involve the Mount Li Sword Sect in it.
”Your poison cannot kill me.”
Nanke rubbed the blood on her neck and licked her fingers.
The most poisonous being in the world was the Surpassing Bird.
The Surpassing Bird was the Peacock.
She was the Peacock.
Zhexiu replied, ”Although your poison is formidable, it's also very difficult for it to kill me.”
