Chapter 217: No Cowards Who Surrender
Although Deng Youning's method is feasible, it is not easy to find this person.
Finally, they chose the fastest monk among the four.
The Queen Mother is old and cannot walk; Jun Wenying and Deng Youning both have leg injuries, so they can only ask this young master for help.
The smell of blood filled the forest.
When Deng Youning and others were helping the young master escape, his right shoulder was stabbed by a hidden dart thrown by the man in black.
The sound of metal clashing echoed in the forest. Deng Youning and the remaining three monks were guarding the entrance of the forest.
Until the little monk flew away using his lightness skills and his figure completely disappeared.
A monk was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he was suddenly killed by an arrow shot from the darkness.
Before anyone even had the chance to take a look at him, he died.
Deng Youning quickly locked onto the location of the arrow that had just been shot.
She had a hunch that, Wang, the leader of these men in black might be over there!
She glanced over with a sharp gaze.
It met an arrow that flashed silver in the firelight.
Before she could think about it, the arrow shot towards her. Fortunately, Jun Wenying on the side pushed her in time, so that the arrow helped them kill a man in black.
Having failed, King Yi angrily hammered the tree trunk next to him.
"Deng Youning is really hard to kill!" King Yi sighed.
Although his martial arts skills were mediocre, his archery skills were quite good. After all, he learned it from his younger brother Li Tianzhuo.
At that time, Li Tianzhuo's martial arts was the best in Nanxin. He was proficient in riding, archery, swords, spears and halberds.
Yi Wang's archery skills were taught by him personally.
If he knew that one day his most beloved brother would use the archery skills he taught him to shoot the woman he loved most, he would regret it to death.
“I found you!”
Deng Youning stared at the direction where the arrow came from like a cheetah.
"Capture the thief and capture the king. You guys guard this place, I'll go capture the king!"
She whispered to the two remaining monks around her to protect the Queen Mother and Jun Wenying, and she flew towards the direction of King Yi using light skills.
King Yi hurriedly asked the men in black to help him block Deng Youning, but during the fight with the men in black, Deng Youning had already discovered King Yi's trace.
"Boss Li?"
"No, maybe I should call His Excellency King Nan Xinyi."
The last time he met King Yi, he was just an ordinary Nanxin businessman, which left a fresh impression on Deng Youning.
"I wonder what His Royal Highness Prince Yi has in mind when he has gone to so much trouble to invite me to visit Nanxin?"
"The princess is here, Your Highness, just get straight to the point."
There was an innate majesty in Deng Youning's words.
The flickering lights of fire intertwined on her body, but there was no trace of human energy on her body. The dark depths of her eyes seemed to be able to make people fall into an icy cave at one glance.
She was standing there at this moment, and the poison in her body was spreading wildly.
All the men in black who got close to her were poisoned by the poisonous powder she emitted.
It is a mixture of dozens of poisons, and if breathed into the body, one will die suddenly.
Prince Yi was protected by several servants behind him, and he covered his mouth and nose tightly with a handkerchief.
He was afraid that he would be infected with Deng Youning's deadly poison.
It was clearly he who sent people to capture Deng Youning, but at this moment, Deng Youning took the initiative and completely dominated the whole scene.
"Let me guess why you want to take me back to Nanxin?"
"To vent the anger of Si Wang? Absolutely impossible!"
"You are following the order of the Emperor Nan Xin and want to use me as a hostage? That should be impossible. After all, the candidates for hostages, Jun Wenying and the Queen Mother, are more valuable and easier to deal with than me."
She smiled softly, and couldn't imagine when she and King Yi became enemies.
"Deng Youning, stop being so arrogant."
"Can you, with just a few of you, deal with these private soldiers in my hands?"
"The number of my personal soldiers here today is as many as 1,500. You alone will never be able to defeat them all even if you die of exhaustion!"
Yi Wang’s words did make Deng Youning’s heart twitch.
Indeed, the two monks were almost exhausted.
"Since your target is me, let the four of them go."
King Yi agreed, "I can promise you, but you must follow me back to Nanxin honestly. Don't worry, I will keep my word. When our carriage reaches the southeastern border, I will release these four people."
Deng Youning originally thought that King Yi would be a reasonable person.
But after hearing these words, she felt that King Yi was just talking nonsense.
Only a fool would believe him!
"Since we can't reach an agreement, there's no need to talk any further."
"We in Dongji only have heroic souls who died in battle, and absolutely no cowards who surrender!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Youning waved his wide sleeves and sprinkled a handful of poison powder at them.
“Hold your breath!”
The servant beside King Yi loudly informed everyone.
"It's useless unless you also close your eyes and plug your ears!"
Deng Youning laughed evilly.
I saw that the men in black around me were covering their eyes and ears and wailing.
But after they howled a few times, bright red blood began to flow from their eyes and ears, and they were no longer alive.
Although King Yi was standing far away, the poisonous powder also entered his eyes.
He quickly closed his eyes to block some of the light. Although there was no bleeding in his eyes, his vision was damaged and his vision became extremely blurry.
"Your Highness, are you still unwilling to withdraw your people?"
"You are making a deal with me now. Since you are Azhuo's elder brother, let us go and I will give you the antidote. Keep your word!"
Fearing that King Yi would misunderstand that she treated him the same way she treated Wu Yuan, Deng Youning specifically stated that she would never go back on her word.
Yi Wang is not as easy to fool as Wuyuan.
He also chuckled and asked back, "Princess Zhenguo, you are quite naive!"
"If I capture you, wouldn't it be possible to detoxify you by cutting some of your blood?"
"Your poison is not in endless supply, right? How much is left? Use it all together."
"Once they are used up, my people will be able to capture all of you in one fell swoop. Don't forget, I still have nearly a thousand people!"
King Yi smiled proudly.
Deng Youning clenched her fists in anger.
Yes, they still have nearly a thousand people and there is no way to fight them.
But we won’t know until we fight, at least we can delay it until Li Tianzhuo’s reinforcements arrive.
Thick fog wrapped in moonlight penetrated the mountains and forests.
Deng Youning, who knew that he would fight to the death with them, returned to the Queen Mother, Jun Wenying and the two monks.
They lined up in a triangle formation, surrounding the Queen Mother and Jun Wenying in the center for protection.
Deng Youning took out the flute he carried with him. At the moment when a whimper pierced through the night fog, all the poisonous insects lurking in the deep forest gathered together.
Naturally, besides Wuyuan, there were also people who knew how to use Gu around King Yi, and they also played music to control the poisonous insects to leave.
The two of them started a competition in music.
Deng Youning, an outsider in the world of poison-controlling, was about to be defeated, but he was not in a hurry at all.
She hadn't expected to use witchcraft against the Blood Moon Cult members, but chose to use her best skill, poisoning.
There wasn't much deadly poison left, so she put some hallucinogenic powder in the flute, and let the powder scatter in the spring breeze along with the sound of the flute, poisoning King Yi's private soldiers without knowing it.
