Chapter 297
“Whew!”
As the distance was too far, Xiao Chen could not hear the mutterings of the two enemies. He did not care to know either. He looked at his enemies as if he was looking at two corpses, cold and emotionless. When the enemies were less than sixty feet away from him, he suddenly accelerated and his body shot up from the ground like a cannonball.
“Nine Extremes Kill!
Die! ”
Xiao Chen’s body shot up about fifteen feet before he swooped down at the two people in front of him. He was like a goshawk hunting a rabbit. At the same time, he switched from holding his sword with one hand to holding it with both hands. In the next instant, the wooden sword that was shining with a black light suddenly slashed down with an imposing manner!
“This … what a powerful desolate skill!
Hall Master Mo, quick … let’s fight it out with him! ”
When Yu Xiaogou saw Xiao Chen’s extremely terrifying attack, he was certain that Xiao Chen was using a high-grade desolate skill. His face was immediately horrified and his heart was filled with fear. It was as if he could smell death. His legs were trembling and he nearly peed his pants. However, at the moment of life and death, he managed to maintain a clear mind.
“Son of a b * tch!
I’ll make sure you don’t die!
Hehe! ”
Yu Xiaogou immediately took out a bag of mysterious items in a flurry and quickly injected some Power of Desolation into the bag of mysterious items. Without any hesitation, he threw it at the diving Xiao Chen. Following that, he used a lazy donkey roll and quickly rolled on the ground. His escaping skills were indeed superb.
“Go!”
Mo Dakui was nearly scared out of his wits by Xiao Chen’s terrifying attack. If not for Yu Xiaogou’s reminder, he would have forgotten to counterattack. After he reacted, he also took out a bag of mysterious items and threw it at Xiao Chen. Following that, he too rolled on the ground.
“Oh?”
Xiao Chen, who was still in midair, saw his enemy throw two packages of items at him. He assumed that they were highly toxic items, and his expression changed slightly. However, he was still in midair, and it was impossible for him to change his direction or retreat. At this critical moment, he immediately closed his mouth and nose, and at the same time, he swung his gigantic wooden sword at the two mysterious packages.
“Boom! Boom!”
The two mysterious bags had not been hit by the wooden swords, but they had self-destructed. It was obvious that Yu Xiaogou and Mo Dakui had done something to them. When the bags exploded, the contents inside burst out as well. It was indeed a bag of colorful powder. It was obviously poisonous.
Chi chi!
Even though the wooden sword had missed its target, the Desolate Light it emitted had destroyed half of the poisonous powder that was flying towards Xiao Chen. Adding on the fact that a small amount of the poisonous powder had also been touched by the heavy rain, the majority of the poisonous powder had been destroyed. Unfortunately, there was still a small amount of it left, which had been blown onto Xiao Chen by the wind.
“Damn it!
It was Hundred Flower Poison again!
Since you dare to plot against me, I will kill you first!
Die! ”
Although Xiao Chen had closed his mouth and nose, his exposed skin was stained with the poison powder. When the poison powder met the moisture on his skin, it instantly melted and seeped into Xiao Chen’s skin. Moments later, Xiao Chen knew that he had been poisoned. His expression changed drastically. It was no wonder that his protective Power of Desolates could not withstand it at all.
The Hundred Flower Poison was indeed a rare poison. The moment it entered his skin, Xiao Chen felt his strength rapidly draining away. Seeing the two people frantically rolling on the ground, Xiao Chen revealed a cruel smile. This was because his Nine Extremes Kill could release the Power of Desolates. Nine Extremes Kill’s speed was extremely terrifying. If the two of them wanted to escape by rolling on the ground, that would be … wishful thinking!
“Whew!”
A three-foot-long dark purplish-black sword beam shot out from the wooden sword. It immediately shot towards the assassins who were rolling on the ground like two mud figurines. The sword beam seemed to pass through space and in a blink of an eye, it had caught up to the two of them.
Suddenly!
“Phew!”
The sword beam expanded several times with the wind and turned into a thirty-foot long gigantic sword. The moment the gigantic sword was formed, it slashed down at Yu Xiaogou and Mo Dakui!
“No!
I don’t want to die! ”
Yu Xiaogou and Mo Dakui, who had just gotten up from the ground, were prepared to continue escaping. Suddenly, they felt a sense of danger that made their hearts palpitate. They subconsciously looked back and saw a terrifying energy gigantic sword slashing down at them. They could not help but scream in horror as their faces instantly turned as white as a sheet.
“Boom!”
After an earth-shattering explosion, the sounds of battle in the bamboo forest instantly disappeared. Only the sound of rain could be heard. All the assassins, including Zhu Qingmei and Su Qingyi, looked in the direction where Xiao Chen and the other two were fighting. Their expressions were extremely exaggerated. It was as if they had seen demons crawling out from hell.
They saw a huge mushroom cloud of mud and water rising from the bamboo forest where the explosion had occurred. Even the light was blocked. Xiao Chen and the other two had disappeared. It was obvious that the three of them had been hidden by the mushroom cloud. No one knew if they were dead or alive.
“Big Brother Xiao!” “Xiao Chen!”
Su Qingyi and Zhu Qingmei reacted almost at the same time. They shouted and rushed towards the huge mushroom cloud. Their faces were full of worry and … fear. They were afraid that they would lose Xiao Chen forever. If that happened, there would be no meaning for them to live anymore.
“Vice Hall Master Xiao!”
Zhu Meitang’s female assassins stopped pursuing their enemies and rushed towards the explosion site. Xiao Chen was their spiritual pillar and also a formidable man that they had a crush on. They naturally didn’t want anything to happen to Xiao Chen.
“Hall Masters and the others are dead?”
Only the group of male assassins that were being chased by the female assassins didn’t dare to rush towards the mushroom cloud. However, they had a bad premonition in their hearts. If nothing unexpected happened, their two Hall Masters should be dead. Hence, all the surviving male assassins had ashen expressions and were prepared to escape.
“Swish!”
Just as Su Qingyi and the others were rushing towards the mushroom cloud, a figure covered in mud shot out from the mushroom cloud. No, to be more precise, the figure was sent flying by the force of the explosion and almost fell to the ground. In the end, the figure managed to hold his sword low and knelt on the ground on one knee. He did not fall into the muddy water.
“Xiao Chen?
Xiao Chen isn’t dead! ”
Su Qingyi and Zhu Qingmei looked at the figure kneeling on one knee in front of them. Although that figure was covered in black mud, including his face and hair, they could still recognize that it was Xiao Chen at a glance. The two girls immediately cheered and rushed towards Xiao Chen.
“Don’t come near me!”
The figure kneeling on the ground was indeed Xiao Chen. However, he was in a very bad condition because the Hundred Flower Poison had already entered his blood and meridians. In such a short period of time, he had already lost more than half of his strength. His body gradually became weak and powerless. His heart was swelling, his blood was spurting, and his body was burning with lust.
“Ah?”
When Su Qingyi and Zhu Qingmei heard Xiao Chen’s warning, they subconsciously stopped and looked at each other. Finally, it was Su Qingyi who asked in confusion, “Xiao Chen, what happened to you?
Are you injured?
Why didn’t you let us come near you? ”
“Huff!”
Xiao Chen suddenly raised his slightly lowered face. His pale red eyes met Su Qingyi’s beautiful eyes that were filled with concern. His mouth and nose were panting violently as if he was in pain. At the same time, his body began to tremble as if he was having a cold.
