Free Web NovelChapter 1169: Chapter 617: Escape (Part 2)
This woman doesn’t seem like a stunning beauty at first glance, but the more you look, the more captivating she becomes.
"Everyone, leave." Changtian swept his gaze around, and the maids and guards at the door obediently left. He slowly walked towards her, but couldn’t help his heart from beating rapidly.
Closer, very close now.
He stopped beside her, looking down from this angle, he could almost see the faintly blue arteries on her slender, fair neck, like tendons hidden in white jade.
She was still ill, her body hadn’t recovered. freewёbnoνel.com
Changtian discreetly took a breath and reached out to touch the top of her head.
Just before he was a few inches away from her dark hair, Ning Xiaoxian suddenly lifted her head, extended her delicate hand and said, "Help me up, my legs are numb from sitting cross-legged." There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.
He blinked, of course he answered, "Alright," and reached out to assist her.
Ning Xiaoxian smiled and said, "You’ve kept your left hand in your sleeve, are you hiding something interesting?"
His pupils suddenly contracted, his left sleeve twitched, but Ning Xiaoxian reacted even faster. Her delicate jade hands grabbed onto his right hand, her grip instantly strong as iron pincers!
Then, she forcefully pulled him onto the bed. As his body lurched forward, her left hand pushed aside his left palm. The item in his left sleeve naturally lost its aim, with a "ding" sound it shot towards the window lattice. It was a blood-grooved spike with blue light flickering on its tip, clearly laced with deadly poison!
His failed attack didn’t faze him, his right hand formed a fist, summoning a gleaming longsword that slashed towards her neck. The strike was fast and fierce, if it landed it would surely decapitate her.
But Ning Xiaoxian’s lips slightly curled in disdain, then most unladylike, she bent her knee and raised her leg—
"Bang," a loud crash, and the man was kicked in the abdomen, flying back ten meters!
Her divine power was incredible, though she was ill, the person before her couldn’t withstand it. She expertly chose the spot to land her foot, beneath the sternum where no bones protect, hitting vulnerable organs like the spleen, liver, and gallbladder, causing immediate rupture and bleeding.
This person was strong-willed, even with his abdomen caved in, he still struggled to rise and pounce forward. Ning Xiaoxian was somewhat impressed by his determination. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
But it wasn’t her turn to act. The little golden snake that had been wrapped around her right hand acting as a bracelet suddenly released its bite and dropped onto her knee. Before the man could approach, the snake’s tail lightly flicked on her leg like a spring, launching towards the assassin.
It was just a snake, yet its movements were incredibly nimble and clever, as if the assassin was lunging straight into its path.
Its form expanded rapidly in mid-air. By the time it wrapped around the assassin, the snake had grown to the size of a giant python, at least bowl-sized in thickness! With its signature move, it squeezed tightly, causing the man’s eyes to bulge, his face to redden, and veins to pop on his forehead, unable to muster any divine skills.
Ning Xiaoxian looked at the fallen assassin with sympathy in her eyes.
Being constricted by the True Form of Ba Snake, few in this world could escape, and he probably wasn’t one of them.
She crouched down beside him, sighed, and said, "I have no grudge against you, why try to kill me?" He must have a problem with his brain, maintaining Changtian’s appearance despite the gravity of the situation, refusing to reveal his true identity.
But it’s probably something even Changtian wouldn’t be able to express? She found the thought somewhat amusing.
The man’s throat gurgled, unable to speak, so she gestured for Ba Snake to loosen its grip.
Once the giant snake relaxing its hold slightly, he exhaled loudly from his chest, finally gasping for a breath, then glared at her and said, "You demoness, anyone in the world can kill you!"
His gaze was filled with venomous hatred. Ning Xiaoxian felt her heart skip a beat and frowned, asking, "Which sect are you from?"
He clamped his mouth shut instantly.
She mused to herself, "Well, Changtian’s retribution is notoriously fierce, your sect might be gone too, otherwise you’d have some concerns."
Still silent, his lips moved as if chanting a mantra.
Again? She was fed up with the Self-Destruction of Primordial Spirit move! Ning Xiaoxian’s eyebrows knitted, but before she could act, Ba Snake’s tail flicked like a whip across the man’s face. "Snap," a loud crack, interrupting his mantra, along with knocking out all his teeth.
