Immediately afterward, just as Mu Feiyu turned around, the blade was already close to his neck. At this moment, if the other party used even a little force, he would surely die.
"Hua Mancheng, I didn't expect you to be so capable!" Mu Feiyu stood motionless, but anger unconsciously filled his face. He glanced at Hua Mancheng out of the corner of his eye, and a strange light gradually appeared in his eyes. "It is said that the White-Clad Rakshasa is always elusive and ruthless. Seeing it today, it is indeed true to its reputation!"
"It's a pity that if you weren't so sentimental, I might have really lost to you today." Mu Feiyu finished speaking with a sarcastic laugh, but before the words had even faded, Hua Mancheng exerted a little force with his hand, and the blade pierced his skin, leaving a thin, long scratch on his neck!
After a long while, a few drops of blood rolled down from the wound, forcing him to shut his mouth in panic.
At this moment, Hua Mancheng's eyes were blazing with fury as he looked at Mu Feiyu. His face was flushed red with barely concealed anger, and a roar suddenly burst from his mouth: "Enough nonsense! If you know what's good for you, release Princess Jing right now, or... you won't live either!" His gaze was fixed on Mu Feiyu and the surrounding guards, and he didn't let his guard down for a moment, leaving everyone present in a stalemate, at a loss for what to do.
Hua Mancheng paused slightly, his gaze shifting, before adding in a stern voice, "Everyone knows the Regent is ruthless; anyone you've set your sights on is either dead or injured. But I am different from you in one way: I, Hua Mancheng, never hesitate to kill!" As he finished speaking, he suddenly drew his Shadowless Sword and slit the throat of one of Mu Feiyu's trusted men!
Upon seeing this, an uproar broke out, and the subordinates panicked, shouting in unison to protect the prince.
Before people could react, Hua Mancheng suddenly flashed forward and placed the sword against Mu Feiyu's neck again. His movements were so fast that they were impossible to catch, and he was already in another place.
Hua Mancheng held a sword in one hand and pressed the other against Mu Feiyu's shoulder bone. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his leg. If he delayed any longer, the arrow wound would relapse, and then he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.
He tried his best to control his emotions and not show any pain, but then another roar came out, as loud as thunder.
"Mu Feiyu, I don't want to waste any more time with you. If you want to live, hand over the person obediently!"
Mu Feiyu looked at him and chuckled wickedly, "Hua Mancheng, you... you were still careless." As he finished speaking, he aimed at the Shadowless Sword held horizontally in the other's hand, and with a flick of his finger, the blade broke in two and fell to the ground with a crack!
Before Hua Mancheng arrived, Mu Feiyu had made thorough preparations. He took the antidote himself and coated his body with a highly corrosive poison. Anyone who got close to him would die in no time. Because the sword blade was contaminated with the poison on his body, it had become two pieces of scrap iron.
The sudden turn of events, coupled with the simultaneous onset of two deadly poisons in Hua Mancheng's body, caught him off guard. He was then surrounded and attacked by Mu Feiyu and her subordinates. The more urgent the situation, the more blurred his consciousness became, and gradually, he collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.
