Zuan frowned. He had been so focused on painting Daji's portrait that he had become somewhat relaxed, especially since they were on the imperial envoy's ship with patrolling soldiers everywhere.
Even if he relaxed, with his current cultivation level, it wouldn't be easy for ordinary cultivators to get close to him. However, he only realized something was wrong when the other party made his move, which meant that the other party had a special skill to hide his presence.
He dared not be careless in the slightest. He flicked his finger at the other's dagger and, taking advantage of the trembling of the other's hand, he directly rushed into the other's arms and crashed into him.
The man reacted quickly, managing to dodge the attack with an incredible twist of his body.
Zuan immediately used the Feathered Silk Entangling Hand technique to prevent his opponent from creating distance. His opponent was also quite skilled and managed to parry more than ten moves.
Zuan noticed that his opponent was agile and had extremely skillful footwork. He admired some of the opponent's evasive maneuvers, but his opponent's skill was obviously still a bit lacking.
At first, the man was able to barely parry, but as Zu An began to channel his energy, the aftershocks of his attacks swept over him, causing his movements to freeze for a moment.
Zuan seized the opportunity, directly reopened the opponent's defense, and struck the opponent's chest with a palm strike.
"Ah..." A crisp scream rang out as the person crashed against the wall like a broken sandbag.
"A woman?" Whether it was the feeling of being struck in the chest or the scream she made, everything revealed that she was a female assassin.
However, Zu'an did not show any mercy just because she was a woman. Since she had come to assassinate him, there was no reason for him to hold back.
Just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly felt himself step on something. He looked down and saw that it was a jade pendant on the ground. The pendant had a very special shape, and he recognized it as belonging to Xiaoyao Tower at a glance.
To his even greater surprise, the number on the jade pendant was 333!
How did my jade pendant end up on her?
It looks like this jade pendant just fell off that woman.
At this moment, the woman pulled off her veil and said weakly, "Young master...it's me..."
Her usual sweet smile was gone, leaving only a pale face and a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
"Why did you come to assassinate me?" Although they were somewhat acquaintances, Zu An's expression remained unchanged, and he still looked at her coldly.
"I didn't..." Tang Tian'er was about to say something, but unfortunately her injuries were too severe and she was extremely weak. She couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
Zuan was worried that she was using a self-inflicted injury as a ruse, so he did not let his guard down. After a while, he did notice that she was barely breathing, so he squatted down next to her to check on her.
"He's really seriously injured..." Zu An knew the power of his palm strike just now. Although he didn't use his full strength, it was still something that ordinary people couldn't withstand.
To be honest, it was already a miracle that Tang Tian'er didn't die on the spot. She was probably saved by some kind of protective magic treasure she was carrying. But if things continued like this, she would die soon.
Then came a knock at the door: "Lord Zu, Lord Zu?"
It was obvious that the guards nearby had heard something amiss and rushed over to investigate.
"It's nothing, just a petty thief, he's been dealt with. You can all leave now." Zu An showed himself at the door, and the guards were finally relieved. They bowed to him and went back to their patrols.
Zu An closed the door and looked at the woman in black lying on the ground: "Tell me, should I save her or not?"
The next question is about Daji.
Unfortunately, Daji stood there motionless, devoid of any life.
Zuan sighed. He thought she already had a soul, but no matter how he tried, she still didn't react at all.
"You mean you're going to save me if you don't speak? Fine, I also want to know why she came to kill me." Zuan muttered to himself, while Daji watched him quietly, neither sad nor happy.
Zuan helped Tang Tian'er up. At this moment, she was so limp that she seemed to have no bones. No wonder she had been making some very difficult moves when she was dodging and weaving.
He fed her a wound medicine, but he couldn't bear to give her the Jade Marrow Rejuvenating Pill. Instead, he gave her some pills that You Zhao had given him before. This person came to assassinate him, and it was already good enough that he saved her life.
Zuan made her sit cross-legged on the bed, but unfortunately she couldn't sit up straight at all and was about to fall to the side.
Zuan stretched out his finger and planted it directly in front of her to hold her in place. Then he circulated his Primordial True Qi, dissolving the medicinal effects while healing her injuries.
He has cultivated the Primordial Chaos Scripture to the fourth level, and can now heal people unless the injury is fatal.
He flicked his fingers, sending wisps of true energy into her body. Tang Tian'er let out a soft moan, already beginning to react.
As the primordial energy circulated within her body, her entire body quickly began to heat up, and then white steam began to rise from her body.
About half an hour later, Tang Tian'er's eyelashes trembled slightly twice.
Zuan withdrew his hand and said calmly, "I know you're awake."
Tang Tian'er reluctantly opened her eyes: "I just wanted you to heal me a little longer, my injuries are far from healed yet."
Actually, there was another rather embarrassing reason that I'm too embarrassed to say: because the scent of the other person was flowing through her body, warm and very comfortable, she really didn't want him to pull out.
"As long as you can answer, that's enough. You still want me to heal you? Miss, don't you understand the current situation?" Zu An couldn't help but laugh.
"Right now, you keep touching me all over, and I'm all wet," Tang Tian'er said, pulling up her clothes to show him that they were already soaked with sweat.
