Chapter 571 The Dagger is Poisonous

Chapter 571: The dagger is poisonous

Two people were already dead before anyone was seen.

Everyone else was shocked. When they saw Chu Jinnian's gloomy face, which could be vaguely seen under the starlight, they even felt a little fear in their hearts.

Almost at the moment of hesitation, Chu Jinnian snorted coldly, and his sword fell with his hand. The other people all felt a chill on their necks, and they fell to the ground with a muffled groan.

"Good boy!" Zhu Shisan's face turned even more fierce when he saw this. "I thought you were just a playboy, but I didn't expect you to have such skills. Let me meet you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Shisan swung his sword and chopped over.

The rest of the men who were still able to fight followed Zhu Shisan and rushed towards Chu Jinnian. Seeing this, Chu Yunzhao led several guards who had rushed over and started fighting with Zhu Shisan's men.

Zhu Shisan did stretch out his hand, and he wielded the broadsword with great skill. After a few moves, the expression on Chu Jinnian's face became even more gloomy. After he flew into the air again, the sword in his hand split into two at some point, one on the left and one on the right, and he launched a fierce attack towards Zhu Shisan.

Originally Zhu Shisan felt a little tired, but at this time Chu Jinnian not only did not become weaker, but became even more powerful, especially the two long swords, which were shining coldly under the starlight, which startled him and slowed down his movements. The cold light in Chu Jinnian's hand approached his throat.

Even though Zhu Shisan retreated in time, he still felt a heat on his chest, followed by a burning pain. It went without saying that his skin was already torn apart.

"I'm quite capable." Zhu Shisan snorted, swung his knife and continued to chop.

However, he was already a little weak, and now he was injured. Even though he was still powerful at this moment, the movements of his hands were a little slower than before.

Chu Jinnian snorted coldly, and after a few moves with the long swords in his hands, Zhu Shisan's entire body was covered with scars.

Bleeding profusely and exhausted, Zhu Shisan was now gasping for breath, and the sword in his hand was broken in half by Chu Jinnian's sword.

There was another muffled groan beside him, and Zhou Er fell straight down, with the long sword in Jing Zhao's hand stuck in his chest.

Seeing this, Zhu Shisan pulled out the broken knife that was stuck in the ground and rushed towards Chu Jinnian with all his strength. Unfortunately, he was met with two cold lights and was kicked in the chest by Chu Jinnian. He fell to the ground like a sandbag, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

Chu Yunzhao had already subdued the remaining minions. Seeing Zhu Shisan had fallen to the ground, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Clean up this place. If there is anyone alive, tie him up first and keep him safe..."

Before he finished his words, a sharp arrow flew out from the darkness and headed straight towards Chu Yunzhao.

Taking advantage of the starlight, Chu Yunzhao sensed the cold light and hurriedly tried to hide, but even as he dodged, the sharp arrow still flew over and brushed past his hair, knocking his hair crown askew, and then sank into the door panel behind Chu Yunzhao.

Everyone was still in shock when two more sharp arrows came whizzing past.

Moreover, every arrow was aimed at Chu Yunzhao.

"Protect the Fourth Prince!" Chu Jinnian shouted, his heart sinking.

Sure enough, what was supposed to come was still coming? But he was too far away from Chu Yunzhao at this time, and he had no time to stop him, so he could only throw the two swords in his hands at the same time.

With two "clang, clang" sounds, the long sword and the two sharp arrows fell. Then, Jing Zhao and others surrounded Chu Yunzhao, looked around vigilantly, and retreated step by step.

Then, another arrow flew towards Chu Jinnian, but this time, it flew towards Chu Jinnian. Chu Jinnian narrowed his eyes and dodged to the side. The arrow almost hit his cheek and shoulder and flew to the side.

But in almost an instant, Zhu Shisan, who had been lying unconscious on the ground, climbed up and swung his fist at Chu Jinnian.

Chu Jinnian subconsciously took a half step back and raised his left arm to block.

Another sharp arrow flew over, and Chu Jinnian had to turn sideways again to avoid the fatal arrow.

At this moment, a flash of cold light floated across Zhu Shisan's left hand, and in an instant, it stabbed towards Chu Jinnian.

Chu Jinnian tried to dodge, but it was too late. The sharp dagger had already pierced his abdomen.

Enduring the pain, Chu Jinnian raised his foot, and with a "bang", kicked Zhu Shisan far away.

Zhu Shisan almost flew out and hit a sweet-scented osmanthus tree next to him. Then he stopped and struggled to get up. He looked at Chu Jinnian at this moment, laughed twice, then spat out a large mouthful of donated blood and fell straight down.

The close threat was eliminated, but the deadly arrow did not stop and was still whizzing towards this side. Chu Jinnian raised his eyes, looked at a tall tung tree in the distance of the yard, reached out and pulled out a seemingly decorative hidden weapon from his belt.

He used up almost all of his strength to throw the hidden weapon toward the tung tree.

A dark shadow fell almost immediately.

There was no more movement outside.

I felt waves of pain in my abdomen, and at the same time, my limbs felt a little numb.

Oh no, that dagger was poisonous!

"Protect... the Fourth Prince..."

Chu Jinnian murmured, but his body could no longer support him. He closed his eyes helplessly and fell to the ground.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Jinnian!"

"Young Master!" - In the darkness, Zhuang Qingning suddenly opened his eyes.

Did she have a nightmare? No, she hadn't. She had just slept so soundly that she didn't even remember having a dream.

She didn't know why she woke up at this moment, and she even felt stuffy and painful in her chest, which was very uncomfortable.

What on earth had happened? Zhuang Qingning was puzzled, but a light suddenly lit up in his mind.

【Emergency! 】

[There is an urgent task at the Marriage Stone. The host must hurry up and complete it. ]

What task? When mentioning the Marriage Stone, Zhuang Qingning suddenly remembered that handsome face, and his heart sank.

[The host now needs to complete the task of saving the hero. The task time is within 24 hours. After completing the task, you can get extremely generous rewards. ]

As expected, did Chu Jinnian encounter some unexpected incident?

Zhuang Qingning frowned, looking gloomy, "Where is Jinnian now?"

[At this moment, we are rushing to the capital city at night. If the host rushes there at full speed, he will probably be able to meet Chu Jinnian in Xuanyuan Prefecture City (the place name is fictitious).]

[If the location changes, the system will provide the host with a route at any time to ensure that the host can arrive as soon as possible. ]

No problem! Zhuang Qingning stood up, lit a candle, and found some clothes to put on.

Xiangqiao heard the noise and saw the light, and hurried over to see the situation.

La la la la la, today is the 18th anniversary of Cha Nuan's hatching.   I hope that in the new year, I can write more and better stories (′`)      (End of this chapter)
