Li Sanniang, after enduring hardships, embarks on her medical journey again. Unexpectedly, a renowned handsome man in Chang'an wants to marry her as his bride! Li Sanniang thought she only need...
Chapter 145 Kill!
In the silent alley, Li San Niang was confronting the man in black who was acting as a stalker behind the scenes.
Judging from how effortlessly the man in black jumped down from the wall, which was more than a meter high, Li Sanniang, who had no martial arts skills, had no chance of winning if they tried to take it by force.
At this moment, Li San Niang really has no other weapons besides the scalpel hidden in her right hand.
The sleeping potion in her purse had been sprinkled all over the big man's face in an attempt to save herself. The only reason Li Sanniang was able to stand was because of her strong willpower.
The kick that Qingpi gave Li Sanniang in the lower back earlier directly reduced Li Sanniang's fighting ability from 7 to 2.
However, judging from the behavior of the man in black, Li Sanniang thought he was a performer; otherwise, she wouldn't still be standing there watching him applaud and put on a show.
If they really wanted to be swift and decisive, they should have stabbed the fleeing Li Sanniang to death the moment they saw the bandit leader fall, instead of clapping and cheering here.
"Mrs. Li, you really are quite skilled; your poison technique is truly formidable."
Upon hearing the first words from the man in black, Li San Niang immediately realized that this man must know that she and even her father were not members of the Bad People.
After all, apart from the Li family members, especially Li's father and elder brother, only Mr. Bu Ke from the Bad Guys should have guessed something about this poison technique.
It would be really unnecessary to say that this was the mortal enemy of Poison Yama, Li's father's master.
After all, the Poison King incident happened almost thirty years ago. This man in black doesn't sound that old; he should be around the same age as Brother Li, around thirty years old.
Then they can only be enemies of the Bad Guys.
Li San Niang was cursing in her heart. I knew it. Joining any clandestine organization would never end well.
Li San Niang quickly thought about it again. Could it be that this person disliked her because of the alcohol purification issue?
Or rather, the person behind this man dislikes Li San Niang. If he kills Li San Niang, the alcohol purification business might not be able to proceed, and the interests of the person behind him can be protected!
Li San Niang remained silent for a few moments, waiting for the man in black to lose his patience before finally speaking, "Haha, I have even more amazing skills to share. Would you like to see them?"
Hearing Li San Niang's laughter, the man in black couldn't help but wonder if Li San Niang really had poison in her possession.
At this moment, Li San Niang suddenly raised her hand and pretended to wave it towards the man in black, which startled him so much that he stumbled back several steps.
"Haha, haha, scared already? Since you know I have a powerful poison skill, you still dare to only bring these two brainless bastards?"
The man in black was unsure whether Li Sanniang had any other tricks up her sleeve, or whether she was faking it, and was trying to buy time while waiting for rescue.
When the order to kill Li Sanniang was issued, the man in black had already carefully collected information about Li Sanniang. He knew that she had inherited the poison skills of the famous Poison King from her father more than 30 years ago. He just didn't know how much of the Poison King's true skills Li Sanniang had inherited.
The man in black also knew that Li San Niang's half-brother was a soldier of the Jinwu Guard. At this moment, the man in black was also afraid that Li San Niang was actually stalling for time, waiting for the Li family to find Li's half-brother and use the Jinwu Guard's internal means to rescue her.
Suddenly, the sound of the night watchman's clapper came from afar. Only then could Li Sanniang confirm that she was in Yongping Ward, in a blocked alley near the ward wall. As long as Li Sanniang could hold out until the night watchman came, she would definitely be rescued if she made a sound. She couldn't say that she would be 100% saved, but at least there was a sliver of hope.
However, the man in black was well aware that if the watchman came over and Li San Niang made even the slightest sound, the watchman would notice the unusual situation, and the man in black would be unable to do his thing.
Li San Niang estimated in her mind that the guards would arrive at her location in at most thirty breaths.
Li San Niang also knew that the man in black would not let her cry for help!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye!
In the darkness, the man in black darted forward, the blade of the dagger in his left hand reflecting the moonlight into Li San Niang's eyes.
In a split second, relying on her keen senses, Li Sanniang anticipated the trajectory of the man in black's dagger and immediately veered to the left. The dagger grazed Li Sanniang's shoulder, drawing a sliver of blood.
Li San Niang let out a muffled groan. Before she could even feel the pain from the wound on her shoulder, the man in black brought down another knife, aiming straight for her throat.
With a "thud," it was the sound of a knife piercing flesh. This wasn't the first time Li Sanniang had used a knife to cut open someone's skin, but it was the first time she had used a knife to cut open the skin of a conscious person.
It turned out that when the man in black slashed at her with his knife, Li Sanniang tilted her body slightly, risking the knife to slice towards her collarbone, so that she could get close to him. Taking advantage of the height difference, the impact of the man in black's advance, and the fact that the man in black never expected Li Sanniang to be hiding a small scalpel in her right hand, Li Sanniang used what she knew best as a doctor—the most vulnerable organ deep in the human abdomen—to insert the scalpel deep into the man in black's spleen.
Not only that, after inserting the entire scalpel into the man in black, Li Sanniang also twisted the end of the scalpel twice, directly shredding the spleen hidden in the back of the abdominal cavity.
Then, Li San Niang made a quick decision and, using her nimble right hand, grabbed the last bit of the scalpel handle and pulled out the scalpels one by one.
With a "whoosh, whoosh," without the blade to stop it, large gushes of blood gushed out of the man in black's body, and Li San Niang, who was closest to him, was covered in blood.
Besides the pale yellow dress that Li San Niang wore out that morning, which Li Da Sao specially made for her, it was soaked with blood, and even Li San Niang's face was splattered with blood.
Li San Niang could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
The sound of a watchman striking a clapper as he passed by drifted past Li San Niang's ears.
Li San Niang didn't scream. At this moment, she had no strength left and sat blankly on the ground, her eyes fixed on the black-clad man who lay dead not far away, his eyes wide open, and the body that was still bleeding profusely.
After a moment, Li Sanniang raised her sleeve, hastily wiped the blood from her face, stood up with great effort, took two steps forward, squatted down, and stretched out her right hand, her trembling hand reaching under the black-clad man's nostrils to check if he was still breathing.
No!
No breath!
The man in black is dead!
Dead!
I killed someone!
I killed someone!
I killed someone!
Li Sanniang abruptly pulled her fingers back and plopped down next to the corpse of the man in black.
