Chapter 21: Fighting Poison with Poison
Helian Feng nodded slightly, his expression calm, and instructed Mingying and others:
"Catch him alive!"
Mingying took the order, drew his weapon, and made a gesture to his men. More than twenty people, like a group of well-trained hungry wolves, rushed towards Xiyan and Manluo.
The two women faced the enemies who were coming like a tide without any fear.
They held daggers tightly in their hands, and moved as lightly as a swallow, weaving through the crowd of guards, slashing left and right, each move deadly.
Facing more than twenty guards and the top master Mingying, he was not at a disadvantage at all for a moment.
In particular, Manluo was good at using poison. For a while, poison needles and poison powder came frequently, making the guards panic.
Soon, more than a dozen guards fell to the ground.
However, this is the territory of the Prince's Mansion after all. When one group is killed, another group will come in continuously.
At the stairs and outside the building, there were already more than a hundred guards who had surrounded the Treasure Pavilion.
At this time, Chu Jin saw Manluo playing with poison and couldn't help but become interested. His eyes flashed with excitement. He turned slightly and bowed to Helian Feng:
"Your Highness, let me go forward and meet that Thousand-Faced Purple Demon to see whose poison skills are more powerful!"
Helian Feng smiled and nodded.
Chu Jin got the answer, and his figure flashed, approaching Manluo like a ghost.
He quickly moved his hands between his sleeves, and in the blink of an eye, several silver needles appeared on his fingertips. These needles were dark green in color, and under the light of the Eastern Pearl, they shimmered with an eerie light, clearly imbued with a deadly poison.
Then, he shook his wrist, and the poison needle shot towards Manluo like a meteor chasing the moon.
The silver needle cut through the air, making a slight "whooshing" sound, and aimed directly at Manluo's vital parts.
Seeing this, Manluo was not in a hurry. She jumped into the air and avoided them one by one.
At the same time, she raised her jade hand and shot several red pills towards Chu Jin.
The pill exploded in the air, turning into a cloud of red smoke that spread out and emitted a pungent smell.
Chu Jin sneered:
"Red Charm Dark Miasma, what's so strange about it!"
Instead of avoiding, he rushed forward and plunged into the red smoke. He saw his hands dancing quickly, and several streams of black powder shot out from his hands, instantly swallowing up the red poisonous fog.
Manluo's face changed slightly, realizing that she had encountered a strong enemy.
She tapped the ground lightly with her toes and floated to the side, isolating the black powder and trying to find an opportunity to fight back.
However, Chu Jin's offensive became more and more fierce.
He waved his hands, and several streams of green liquid shot out from his palms, interweaving into a green poisonous net in the air, covering Manluo.
Xiyan was fighting with Mingying and several guards nearby. Seeing it clearly, she was shocked:
"Blue Bone Erosion, be careful!"
How could Manluo not know this? In a hurry, she turned her wrist and shot out three bone-piercing plum blossom nails. Chu Jin saw the strong wind passing by and quickly dodged.
How could Chu Jin let Manluo go easily before she could even take a breath? He took advantage of the moment when her old strength was exhausted and her new strength had not yet been generated, and the palm wind had already arrived, blowing the sound of the wind and launching a fierce attack on Manluo.
"Zisha, today I must capture you and dig out the cleansing water from you. I want to see the true face of you and Xuesha!"
The Poison King Chu Jin was indeed powerful. Manluo was gradually defeated and forced to retreat step by step.
With every step she took back, her face became paler and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
She knew very well that she had encountered a strong enemy today, and if she didn't come up with a countermeasure quickly, her life might be in danger.
Xiyan's side was also in great danger. Chu Jin alone entangled Manluo, and she had to deal with so many masters alone, and gradually her strength was exhausted.
She knew that if Manluo fell into Chu Jin's hands and the facial cleanser was found, her and Manluo's identities would be exposed, and Xiao Nanyue would also be implicated, and then neither of them would survive.
It would be better to give the hope of life to Manluo, as a way to repay her for saving my life just now.
At this moment, she caught a glimpse of Xu Jingzhen standing next to Prince Helian Feng with a ferocious look on his face, as if he wanted to catch both of them and grind them to dust. She couldn't help but come up with a plan.
She braced herself and pretended to stab Mingying with all her might. The dagger in her hand flashed with cold light and her attack was fierce. Mingying was fully focused on responding and had no idea of her true intention.
In the blink of an eye, Xiyan suddenly changed her move. The dagger that was originally stabbing at Mingying suddenly turned, and with force from her wrist, the dagger cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and flew towards Xu Jingzhen like a flash of lightning.
Xu Jingzhen never thought that Xiyan would throw out a weapon during the fierce fight, and he had no time to react at all.
On the other hand, Helian Feng, who was standing aside, although his eyes were fixed on the battlefield, did not dare to be careless at all.
He knew in his heart that if Xu Jingzhen, as an envoy of Nanzhao, died in his prince's mansion, he would be blamed, so he always stood by his side and did not dare to make any mistakes.
At this moment, seeing a cold light coming straight towards Xu Jingzhen, his eyes became stern, and he hurriedly stretched out his wide sleeves and swung down the dagger with all his strength.
With a "pop" sound, the robe sleeve brought a strong wind and knocked the dagger away. It fell to the ground with a "clang" and splashed sparks.
Xu Jingzhen was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He could not stand steadily and almost fell to the ground. Helian Feng hurriedly reached out to help him.
But in this split second, no one noticed Xiyan's next move taking advantage of the chaos.
She quickly reached out her hand and took out the Flying Claw Hundred Chain Lock from her bosom. With a wave of her arm, the Flying Claw flew towards the Dongzhu Brocade Box on the table with a whistling sound. With a click, it accurately hooked the edge of the brocade box.
She pulled hard, and the brocade box instantly left the table and flew towards her.
Because the iron net mechanism under Dongzhu had not been restored yet, Xiyan took advantage of the chaos to seize Dongzhu.
With the brocade box in her hand, she soared into the air, took out the Dongzhu with her left hand, and threw the brocade box in her right hand towards Chu Jin with lightning speed!
Chu Jin was concentrating on dealing with Manluo. When he saw an unidentified object flying towards him, he subconsciously dodged to the side.
At the same time, Xiyan threw the Dongzhu in the brocade box towards Manluo and shouted:
"Go on, hurry up!"
