Chapter 252 Xiyan, do you really have to be my enemy?
Helian Feng's long sword collided with Xiyan's sharp blade, and sparks fell between the two.
He looked at the frost on her brows, and a trace of pain flashed across his eyes:
"Xiyan, do you really have to be my enemy?"
Xiyan's eyes trembled slightly, and the blade of her sword slashed out a semicircle of cold light: "Xiyan is the prince's loyal warrior, and she should be loyal to him!"
"Xiao Nanyan is just using you as a pawn. You're pregnant with his child, yet he sends you to die on the battlefield. How can a man like that be worthy of your lifelong trust?"
Xi Yan didn't dare to look at Helian Feng anymore, she withdrew her sword and changed her tactics, attacking his weak spot directly:
"Your Highness, I will repay your kindness to Xi Yan in my next life!"
Helian Feng once again suppressed her attack with his sword: "I don't want the afterlife, I only want this life. What Xiao Nanyan can give you, I can give you as well, or even better!"
The sword in Xiyan's hand trembled slightly. She caught a glimpse of the man sitting steadily on the Wuya horse under the hunting platform. Seeing that his eyes, like a cold pond, became colder and colder, she had to harden her heart:
"Your Highness, Xiyan's life has no longer belonged to her since she was seven years old. Please, Your Highness, do not force Xiyan anymore!"
“That’s enough!”
Su Qinyao's roar came from behind:
"Feng'er! Your father is still in Xiao Nanyan's hands, yet you're distracted by this lowly maid? Are you going to follow your father's example and be seduced by beauty, falling into the hands of the enemy?"
Helian Feng's eyes flashed, and he finally made up his mind:
"Xiyan, let me capture you first. I will talk to you again after today's battle is over!"
His long sword moved like a meteor chasing the moon, aiming straight at Xiyan's throat.
Xiyan turned around to avoid it, and with a move, she raised the fire and stirred the clouds, heading towards his heart.
Helian Feng took a wrong step to avoid the sword tip that was stabbing at his heart, and reached out to grab Xiyan's arm, but Xiyan dodged by stepping back three feet.
Immediately afterwards, Xiyan turned her wrist and performed a series of thirteen moves, each of which was Helian Feng's deadly sword.
Seeing Xiyan's exquisite sword moves, Helian Feng did not dare to underestimate the enemy:
"Xura Xuesha, indeed, lives up to its reputation!"
Helian Feng barely avoided it, but he was still impressed by Xiyan's martial arts.
How could such a beautiful woman with outstanding martial arts skills fall in love with Xiao Nanyue!
The two of them started fighting instantly.
Although Helian Feng really wanted to defeat Xiyan, it was still difficult to defeat her without hurting her given Xiyan's martial arts skills, so for a while, it was difficult to tell who was the better one.
Let’s talk about Chu Jin and Man Luo.
Chu Jin's gaze was fixed on Manluo. The curves outlined by her purple dress and her charming face were the same as the woman he had been thinking about in his memory.
He knew that this was Manluo's true face.
"You are indeed Xiao Nanyan's lackey! I have said that the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. Since you are loyal to him, I will no longer tolerate you!"
Manluo smiled without answering. The long sword in her hand was unsheathed with a sound like a dragon's roar, piercing Chu Jin's heart.
Seeing that she was unwilling to answer him today and didn't even look at him, Chu Jin felt annoyed. Instead of retreating, he advanced, mixing poison powder with his internal energy and instantly creating a green barrier between them.
"Let me give you a taste of the Green Scaled Evil!"
Manluo covered her lips with her sleeve, swung her sword to disperse the poisonous mist, and retreated a dozen feet away, only to see Chu Jin following her like a shadow. The green venom shot from his palm bloomed in the air like a fragrant orchid - it was the Chu family's unique poison technique, "Fragrant Orchid Bone-Eroding Sorrow!"
Manluo was horrified and twisted her body to avoid the attack, but as she turned around, a stream of venom splashed onto her wrist, and blue-green lines instantly appeared on her skin, as if it were bitten by a poisonous snake.
"ah!"
Before she could finish her scream, her body fell limply to the ground.
Chu Jin's pupils suddenly shrank. He hadn't seen this woman for a few days. How come her martial arts skills had regressed? Hadn't she been able to dodge before?
He subconsciously rushed forward to hold her waist, but was suddenly stunned the moment he touched her body——
Although the appearance was the same, the touch of this body was too unfamiliar, and the smell was different from before:
"You are not her!"
He was shocked to realize that he had fallen into a trap, but saw a hint of murderous intent in the other party's eyes.
"Your Excellency the Poison King, it's too late!"
When a blue light suddenly appeared, the short blade in the woman's hand stabbed at his throat.
The distance was too close, Chu Jin instinctively turned his head and the blade brushed past his throat. The woman flipped her wrist and the short blade stabbed into his shoulder!
“Damn it!”
Chu Jin was furious and showed no mercy. He grabbed the woman's slender neck and used his internal energy. With a snap, he broke her throat and then waved his palm to shake the corpse away.
But at this time, his shoulder was injured, and the poisonous gas spread rapidly, emitting a foul stench.
He tore off his clothes and looked down. The skin around the wound was turning blue-black at a speed visible to the naked eye, spreading to his neck and chest like a spider web.
Chu Jin was secretly shocked. This was clearly the "Cold Pond Viper Venom"!
This poison is taken from the venom of vipers in the ice caves of the Far North, mixed with the rotten grass mold from the peak of the snow-capped mountain. The wounds of the poisoned person will quickly fester and form pus, and the toxins will corrode the internal organs through the blood vessels. If the antidote is not taken within three days, the person will die of the poisoning.
Chu Jin's eyes went dark. With trembling fingers, he took out the antidote pill hidden in his sleeve and swallowed it quickly. It could temporarily relieve the poison and save his life.
He quickly glanced at Xiao Nanyan, only to see a cold light flashing in his eyes and a hint of smile on his lips.
However, "Su Xianrou" beside Xiao Nanyan avoided his gaze and her red lips trembled slightly when she looked at him.
Chu Jin covered his wound and took several steps back, his face gradually turning pale.
Thinking back to when "Su Xianrou" was fighting with Helian Cong just now, he approached and secretly attacked her with a bone-piercing nail. When he approached her, the aura she exuded seemed familiar, but he was afraid that she would hurt Helian Cong and did not pay attention to her at that time. Now thinking back, how could a woman who could avoid his Poison King's bone-piercing nail be ordinary?
He stared at "Su Xianrou"'s face, but his voice was shaking:
"You...you are Zisha?"
