Chapter 467: Certain Death (1/2)

After what happened at Cerulean Mountain, Tang Doudou's fear of water had increased to a new level. When she got to Ten Kilometers Cliff, she kept far away from the cliff as she looked around, but she didn't see anyone.

Had that person been messing with her?

Just as she was wondering this, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. She hastily turned around.

”Nangong Yan!” Tang Doudou never expected that the person who had called her over was Nangong Yan!

”You never thought of this, right?” Nangong Yan laughed darkly as she pulled He Xiaoqin over. ”The Heavens have truly been considerate. Just as I was worrying over how to get you out alone, this kid showed up!”

When He Xiaoqin saw that Tang Doudou had really come to save him, he looked over gratefully. However, he recalled something and started struggling like his life depended on it. The meaning in his eyes was to actually have Tang Doudou hurry and leave!

But Tang Doudou didn't really need his warning. She knew that Nangong Yan didn't harbor any good intentions.

However, she was already here. Even if she tried to leave, would she make it in time?

Rather than worry about how to leave, it'd be more feasible to try to stall for time until Qing Yu found Baili Yu.

Nangong Yan seemed to know what she was thinking as she laughed coldly. ”You should give up on the hope that Senior Brother will come. I followed you all the way here, you know? I heard everything you said to Qing Yu, so after you left, I had already…”

Tang Doudou never thought that Qing Yu would end up being killed by Nangong Yan due to the seal that she had placed. She was furious and regretful. Nangong Yan's schemes were too deep. She had actually waited there to see her reaction after leaving the message there. It was no wonder there had been no trace of any people being here when she first arrived at Ten Kilometers Cliff. So it was because Nangong Yan had come here after her!

”You! You're insane!” She had already come, so why did Nangong Yan still kill Qing Yu?

Nangong Yan laughed in disdain. ”Since I've killed her, there won't be anyone going to report this incident, nor will anyone ever find out about this.”

The meaning of her words was that not only was she going to kill her, she was also going to kill He Xiaoqin!

”I've already come here, so let He Xiaoqin go!”

”Do you think that's possible?” Nangong Yan pushed He Xiaoqin to the side and took out her whip. ”I'll have you pay for all the humiliation I suffered these past months!”

As she spoke, she swung the whip towards Tang Doudou. Each attack was extremely fierce and the sharp reversed barbs on the whip could be clearly seen in the sunlight. It was also covered with fatal poison. Tang Doudou was sure that she would croak the moment the whip hit her!

She was pretty sure that Nangong Yan wouldn't go easy on her.

However, since Nangong Yan said that she wouldn't let He Xiaoqin off no matter what, she was no longer suppressed by worry for He Xiaoqin's life and could fight freely. She was no longer the person she had been back in Cloud City. She still had some confidence in being able to beat Nangong Yan.

When the whip approached, she quickly dodged, then used her inner strength to attract a nearby rock to throw it at Nangong Yan.

Nangong Yan hadn't expected for Tang Doudou's to have improved so quickly. After knocking away the rock with the whip, she started attacking even harder. However, she didn't know that Tang Doudou's inner strength was no longer suppressed and that her current inner strength could compare to Su Yi's. In addition, due to Baili Yu training her on how to control her inner strength, Nangong Yan wasn't a match for Tang Doudou now at all!

Although Tang Doudou didn't have a weapon, with the inner strength manipulation technique that Baili Yu had taught her, she could use anything as an effective weapon. There were a lot of rocks on this cliff so Tang Doudou made full use of them. Nangong Yan was hit by these sharp rocks several times and they made bloody wounds with every strike.

After a few exchanges, Tang Doudou was completely unharmed, but Nangong Yan was covered with wounds.

There was no way Nangong Yan could accept her defeat this easily. She angrily tossed aside the troublesome whip and pulled out a sword.

However, Tang Doudou had been purposefully inching closer to He Xiaoqin and now took advantage of this chance to move to him.

”Xiaoqin!” She made He Xiaoqin's ropes crumble with her inner strength and grabbed his arm to escape with him while Nangong Yan was still stunned.

However, He Xiaoqin hastily shook off her hand and scrambled away from her!

”Xiaoqin, what's wrong? If we don't leave now, we won't be able to!” Tang Doudou walked up to grab him again. If he didn't leave this time, she was leaving on her own! She couldn't risk the life of her baby!

However, Xiaoqin dodged again and hastily pulled out the cloth stuffed in his mouth to shout, ”Don't come here! Hurry and leave! That crazy woman rubbed poison on my body!”

These words made Tang Doudou freeze. She looked in alarm at her hand. ”What do you mean?”

”Forget about me! Hurry and leave! Just remember to help me take care of Grandpa!” shouted He Xiaoqin as he rushed towards Nangong Yan.

However, he didn't know any martial arts, so he wasn't a match for Nangong Yan at all. He was kicked in the stomach by Nangong Yan and flew out far before he landed. He couldn't get up and curled up in pain.

Tang Doudou knew that it was time to choose. She forced herself to be callous and leave, but when she heard He Xiaoqin cry out in pain, her feet felt nailed down and she couldn't bring herself to leave.

”Humph! You should give up on leaving as well!” Meanwhile, Nangong Yan was smiling triumphantly. ”He's right, I've rubbed poison all over him. Regardless of who it is that makes contact with it, they'll be poisoned.”

As she spoke, she fiddled with the heaven silk gloves on her hands. She had touched He Xiaoqin earlier as well, but due to those gloves, she hadn't been poisoned.
