Chapter 493 (1/2)

Night Ambush (3)

The intruder reacted quickly to her slash too, he blocked her with his own weapon and did not show any signs of backing down. This was no ordinary fighter.

Li Yue was shocked. Although she didn’t use much strength, it was not supposed to be this easy to block her slash either. She was very surprised Ye Lang was this skilled.

With his behaviour, he didn’t look like he was a very skilled swordsman, he looked like he could be defeated very easily.

What shocked her even more was that after he parried, he threw a fist of powder which filled the entire tent immediately.

Li Yue could not react in time to such an unexpected attack, inhaling a mouthful of powder instantly. When she held her breath, it was already too late.

Very soon, she knew what this powder was because she was losing strength rapidly in all her muscles. It was a toxin made to lose control of your muscles.

“You scum! I can’t believe you!” cursed Li Yue through clenched teeth.

“Hahaha, I’ve always been like this, Miss Li Yue, haven’t you known?” the intruder guffawed.

And after she heard his voice, she knew the intruder before her eyes was not Ye Lang. She remembered him, he was one of the many men pursuing her. She recalled rejecting him before.

“It’s you.”

“Of course it’s me! Who did you think I was, that fox idiot? He’s very far away. Such an idiot, throwing away such a good opportunity. Then again, today’s my lucky day since he’s so far away. Saved me a lot of trouble…” the man chuckled.

“Li Xiande! You’re still the son of the First Swordsman, how could you do such a thing? Aren’t you afraid of ruining your father’s good name?” Li Yue’s glared furiously at him.

Li Xiande. She couldn’t believe it was Li Xiande. Ye Lang had killed his brother, so he was now the only son of the First Swordsman.

Li Xiande had always looked like a proud, honest man, she couldn’t believe he was such scum in the dark.

“His good name? He has many women of his own.” Li Xiande had a look of disgust. “Don’t worry, you’ll be mine after this, I’ll be responsible for all your needs…”

“Go to hell! I’d rather die than let you touch me,” bristled Li Yue.

“Die? I’ll never let you die. You won’t even have the strength to die! That was Shixiang powder, it will relax every single muscle in your body…” Li Xiande sneered.

“...” Li Yue’s brows furrowed. She could feel arm unable to hold her sword properly. The powder was working.

If it wasn’t for a final trick up her sleeve, she would’ve killed herself there. Although she wasn’t an impulsive person, she would rather die than let this scum touch her.

Of course, her final trick wasn’t Ye Lang. Although she had hope in him, he wasn’t her final line of defence.

It was the Tianji Armour.

“You must be thinking about your Tianji Armour, right?” he laughed. From his look, not only did he know about her armour, he also knew it wasn’t a problem for him.

“You…” She didn’t need to be a genius to know what he was implying.
