With every step Prince Jingnan took, his aura grew stronger. The air around him seemed to be covered with frost, and anyone who was there could feel the murderous intent.
The secret guards had already been dispatched and surrounded all of Ye Cangmang's men.
Ye Cangmang's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Prince Jingnan was clearly poisoned, and the residual poison hadn't yet cleared, but looking at him like this, how could he be weak at all? Could it be that the intelligence was wrong?"
If Prince Jingnan is really in his prime, things will be very difficult! But the source of his information cannot be wrong, so Sikong Zhan must be holding on!
Ye Cangmang's mind raced, but his face was filled with a warm smile as he spoke slowly and calmly:
"Prince Jingnan, I wonder how long your princess can hold out down there? An hour? A stick of incense? Or a cup of tea?"
He pulled out an object and played with it, "This is the only key that can rescue your princess. If your men take another step forward, I will destroy it."
"Tell me your conditions." Sikong Zhan raised his hand and stopped the secret guard from advancing.
"Let them all retreat. You stay and fight me. If you win, I will release your princess. Otherwise, I will take her life!"
"Everyone, step back." Knowing the other party's purpose, Sikong Zhan chose to deal with it alone without hesitation.
"Your Highness!" Mu Wenyao was worried, but he didn't dare show it at all.
Others didn't know, but he knew that Sikong Zhan was still poisoned and it was not appropriate for him to use force. Even if he forced himself to do so, he probably wouldn't be able to fully exert his strength. If the poison backfired, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Get out! You are not allowed to come in without my order."
Sikong Zhan's tone was filled with irresistible majesty, so Mu Wenyao had no choice but to respond "yes" and retreat with the secret guards.
Sikong Zhan's martial arts skills are unfathomable, and the secret guards around him are also among the best. Now that Sikong Zhan is weak and there are no secret guards around him, it is a good opportunity to kill him!
Ye Cangmang's murderous intent surged, he drew out his sword and rushed towards Sikong Zhan. His first move was a deadly one, obviously aiming for Sikong Zhan's life!
"You will pay the price for what happened today!" Facing the deadly move that came through the air, Sikong Zhan calmly swung his sword.
With just one sword, Sikong Zhan broke Ye Cangmang's carefully prepared attack. Without giving Ye Cangmang a chance to breathe, he used another sword, aiming straight at Ye Cangmang's throat!
Ye Cangmang was horrified. He never expected that Sikong Zhan, who was poisoned, was still so powerful, even more powerful than the legend!
Fortunately, he made full preparations today, otherwise, he would probably have died here!
He flew backwards, and suddenly dozens of men in black flew out from all around the yard, raising their swords and slashing at Sikong Zhan!
With so many people surrounding him, even if Sikong Zhan hadn't been poisoned, he wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed! In order to kill Sikong Zhan, Ye Cangmang had really invested a huge sum of money!
Sikong Zhan suddenly stopped halfway through his sword move. Then, his face turned pale and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. He leaned on his sword and barely supported himself from falling down.
The accident happened too suddenly, but the men in black were all well-trained killers. Faced with the sudden situation, they were stunned for less than a second before they all rushed towards Sikong Zhan and hacked at him. They wanted to kill him while he was sick!
"The poison has taken effect, kill him!" There was excitement in Ye Cangmang's eyes, as if he had already seen the scene of Sikong Zhan being beheaded.
Sikong Zhan's face turned even paler. He quickly took out a pill from his arms and swallowed it. Then he took out a medicine bottle, opened the cork, and scattered the medicine in the bottle into the air!
Bang bang bang!
In a short while, all the men in black who rushed over inevitably fainted, fell from mid-air, and hit the ground like dumplings.
Looking at the man in black lying on the ground and Ye Cangmang, Sikong Zhan spat out another mouthful of black blood. He hurriedly took out the antidote prepared by Lin Jinghan and took a pill. His complexion looked a little better, but he was still frighteningly pale. It was obvious that he was really suffering from the backlash of the remaining poison and was not just pretending.
Looking at the empty medicine bottle in his hand, Sikong Zhan recalled the time when Lin Jinghan used the "Hundred Meter Absolute". It was so similar to the situation today!
However, that time, he was the one who got hit, but this time, he was the one who used the poison.
That woman was really prepared for a rainy day. She actually thought of giving him Bai Mi Jue in this way, and this Bai Mi Jue actually saved his life.
He smiled rarely, thinking of Lin Jinghan's current precarious situation, put the medicine bottle back into his clothes, made sure that the Baimi Jue around him had dissipated, released a flare, walked up to Ye Cangmang, searched for the key from him, and turned around to look for the mechanism.
The process of finding the mechanism went surprisingly smoothly, probably because Ye Cangmang felt that it was impossible for Sikong Zhan to survive alone under the siege of dozens of masters, so the mechanism was not set up with much care.
Soon, Mu Wenyao rushed over with the secret guards and just saw Sikong Zhan inserting the key into the keyhole.
The sound of the mechanism being opened was heard. Before everyone could be happy, they saw the place where Sikong Zhan was standing suddenly collapsed. Although Sikong Zhan reacted quickly and immediately used his internal energy to fly out, he was unable to muster up the internal energy due to the poison, and finally fell into the ground!
"Your Highness!" Mu Wenyao was horrified and rushed over, but the ground had already returned to normal. Where was Sikong Zhan's shadow?
Not only that, even the collapse on the ground and the key inserted into the keyhole disappeared without a trace!
"Damn it! The prince has fallen into a trap!" Mu Wenyao punched the ground, his fist bruised and purple, but the ground did not leave a trace. "Go quickly to see if there are any survivors. Also, search carefully to find the trap and rescue the prince and princess."
As soon as the sound of the mechanism was heard from above, Lin Jinghan listened attentively to the movement outside.
She thought she was going to be rescued, but unexpectedly, there was a deafening sound, followed by a muffled groan, and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard. The cage that trapped her shook a few times, and she began to feel dizzy again.
It took her a long while to come to her senses. She thought that since someone had fallen down and there was no sound after falling, it couldn't be Ye Cangmang's people. So, it was most likely Sikong Zhan's people who fell down.
"Hello?" She called out weakly twice and waited for a long time, but no one answered.
He must have fainted, or died?
If someone fell down, it must be because they fell into Ye Cangmang's trap. Then, Sikong Zhan and his group above might have suffered a loss.
Things were already so bad that she didn't care about hiding her medical space anymore. She gritted her teeth and used 20% of the energy in the medical space to treat herself. All her internal injuries were healed, leaving only some external injuries that did not affect her movements to confuse her. Then she took out a night pearl and illuminated the surroundings.
