Chapter 257 – Tricked by Her! (1)
The little qilin subconsciously retreated toward the left, but it suddenly vaulted forward and pounced at the red-clothed man, who stood on its left with his arms crossed while watching the scene with enjoyment.
The double-edged sword in Ning Xuemo’s hand was like a meteor, bending midway and directly flying towards the red-clothed man’s chest!
The movement was skilled, completely missing the sluggishness that she had shown a moment ago. Swift and clean with a crafty angle and speed like lightning, even the best swordmasters couldn’t compare!
Because of the sudden attack, the red-clothed man’s expression changed. He clearly never expected that this human-beast duo would actually dare to cause mischief right in front of him!
The little qilin used his claws to scratch the man’s lower body, while Ning Xuemo’s attack targeted his upper body. In the blink of an eye, all of his retreat routes were completely closed off by this human-beast duo!
However, he wasn’t just anyone. Unexpectedly, he whirled around, and two snow-white fingers grabbed the edge of the sword like lightning!
Ning Xuemo’s explosive attack was suddenly countered, and the pale-gold sword stopped mid-way. The momentum of their attacks came forcibly to a halt. The man took advantage of this moment to send out a kick, but his kick actually targeted the little qilin’s nose!
Who knew that the little qilin’s pounce would also be unsuccessful; it still hadn’t pounced on the man, but in order to evade the deadly kick, it had to flip around mid-air.
With a toss of his sleeves, the red-clothed man seized the hilt of the pale gold Treasure Sword, while coldly laughing. “Just the two of you and you still want to scheme against me…”
Abruptly, he stopped speaking. Looking at his palm where he suddenly felt a sharp pain, he realized that a needle as thin as cow hair was embedded into the hilt of the sword. The needle was extremely thin, yet it flashed with a lustrous blue light, clearly revealing that it was coated with highly toxic poison. A drop of moss green blood pearled out on his white jade-like palm.
He had been poisoned!
