Chapter 217 Ruthless Approach (1/2)

“If I were you, I’ll have my subordinate stay where they are and not move.”

Lin Mengya was the only one who had maintained her calm and cool.

The men in the peripheral had fallen onto the ground and were rolling all over in agony. The sound of their crying filled the entire woods and this added to the bizarre atmosphere.

“What is it? What exactly did you do?”

Even a very powerful man would be gripped with fear when faced with an unknown enemy.

“I didn’t do anything. You’re the one who provoked me. All of this is retribution.”

A mocking expression appeared in Lin Mengya’s eyes.

Once again, the corner of her mouth turned up into a silent, bizarre smile. At this wee hour in the morning, a sorry-looking Lin Mengya seemed to have turned into a mysterious, unfathomable female ghost.

“So it was indeed your doing!”

Obviously the leader of the men in black had never been in this kind of awkward situation where he was clueless about his enemy’s strategy.

“Slap!” and a red handprint instantly appeared on Lin Mengya’s cheek.

As she turned her face around, there was some blood on her lips. Nevertheless, she cast a look of disdain at the man in black.

“Do you even hit a woman, scum?!”

There was a silvery flash and the man’s sword which was stained with blood was on Lin Mengya’s snow-white neck.

The cries of agony were getting louder and proved to be too tormenting for the leader.

“I would advise you to be good and obedient, otherwise I would have to resort to meaner measures!” he threatened coldly.

The stench of blood from the sword was overpowering and nauseating.

However, Lin Mengya looked at the man in black with such calm that she did not look at all like a hunter’s captured prey.

“Kill me if you can. You, all of you will die right here with me and be my funerary objects!”

To the man’s surprise, the situation had turned around. Now Lin Mengya had become the predator and the men in black, the preys.

No one would have expected Lin Mengya to be so confident. The leader of the men in black thought they should be the ones to make that statement instead.

“Do you think you’ll be able to escape from here? Regardless, I will not suffer a loss if I kill all your friends!”

In fact, before they set out for the ambush, his master had already cautioned him not to be too complacent about Lin Mengya.

Little did he expect that eventually, he had indeed been outdone by her wit.

Lin Mengya, on the other hand, had her considerations.

As expected, Lin Mengya was no longer looking as fearless in her eyes as a moment ago.

“Alright. If you stop here, I will let all of you live.”

The two parties had reached a stalemate. After pondering carefully, the leader of the men in black put his sword back into its scabbard.

“If you follow me back, I will let the rest of your company go.”

Shameless! Lin Mengya was not the kind to be taken advantage of. She spat the man, rolled her eyes at him and said, “Fat hope!”

She continued, “Do you think you are able to kill them? Are you starting to itch all over now?”

Finally, Lin Mengya revealed her true colors. She was not going to agree to any transaction that would disadvantage her. No way was she going to let any of the men in black escape!

She had tried to buy some time by distracting the man until the effect of the poison finally kicked in.

Eventually, the two men in black by her sides were beginning to feel some subtle effects.

If she did not mention it, the leader of the men in black might still be unconscious of the subtle changes in his body.

An itch which felt as if it was penetrating into his heart, started to spread throughout his body from his limbs.

It was even difficult for him to keep his balance while standing up.

He had attempted to get rid of the itch by his inner strength, however, he suddenly realized that he was unable to neutralize the itch by using his inner strength.

“Forget about using your strength. I have done much research to come out with this poison just so that I can deal with gangsters like you. This poison was targetted at your body, which is to say that you can’t do much to combat it using your inner strength or other martial methods.”

Lin Mengya broke free from the two men by her side with ease.

She bit on the rope that was wound around her body and broke it.

These poisons of medicines were still in the experimental stage, which was why she did not dare to use it casually.

Never would she expect that they were extremely useful.

“Princess, Princess, are you alright?”

An anxious Lin Kui ran into the woods calling out to her only to find all the men in black lying on the ground, crying in agony.

Those at the peripheral, who were also the ones who collapsed first, had stopped breathing by now.

If one were to observe carefully, he would realize that there were innumerous pinholes covering their bodies.

Their internal organs had been completely eaten up by the poisonous bugs.

Within six hours, a living man would turn into a dead man.

“Don’t come near!”

Lin Mengya stopped Lin Kui from coming closer as she knew that these bugs could not tell the enemies from friends.

Lin Mengya was carrying a pill which her teacher gave to ward of these bugs, therefore she need not be afraid of them.

She went around all the men in black to get to Lin Kui.

As she glanced at one body which was totally consumed by the poisonous bug, fear and shock ran through her body.

She could see that her teacher was indeed ruthless and vicious. It was no wonder he kept reiterating to her that she should be carrying the pill which could ward off the bugs when she wanted to use this poison.

“Princess, this is…”

Having been living in the prince’s mansion for many years, Lin Kui had seen too many instances of murder and fire being set. However, this was the first time he was looking at such a bizarre sight.

His heart started pumping faster from the terrifying sight as he stole a glance at the princess standing by his side.

It was no wonder the people in the prince’s mansion said they would rather offend Bodhisattva than offend the princess.
