Chapter 220 Dare to hurt Xiao Yue'er, you are seeking death!
Lan Xiyue parted her red lips and sneered, "Ha! What? Your master is allowed to hold a banquet at the mass grave and invite people to drink the Heartbreak Powder, but I'm not allowed to return the favor by offering him a bowl of Mengpo Soup?"
"You're looking for death!" the gray-clothed man shouted angrily, "Since Miss Lan doesn't appreciate your kindness, brothers, send Miss Lan off!"
More than ten men in black behind him all drew their cold blades, the tips of their swords reflecting the cold moon, and pressed forward step by step.
"Wait!" Lan Xiyue suddenly raised her hand.
The man sneered, "Are you scared now? I thought Miss Lan was the granddaughter of the Duke of Huguo, and the master had given you wine as a gift, so you wouldn't have to suffer so much. But, it's too late now!"
"Tell me, are you ashamed? Am I, a woman, worthy of all of you showing your knives?"
The man in gray looked at her gloomily without saying a word.
"Oh! What are you so anxious about?" Lan Xiyue slowly brushed off the non-existent dust on her sleeves. "Put away the sword. Let's talk. Speaking of which... I must die today."
The system suddenly spoke: "Host, what are you waiting for? They are just a few lackeys. Go ahead, what are you afraid of?"
"Damn it! Do you think I don't want to take action?" Lan Xiyue gritted her teeth secretly, "Didn't you notice that there are at least twenty auras hidden in the dark?"
The system hesitated, "...Is there? This system consumes energy for detection, so I really don't know."
"System, my life is at stake now. If I kill someone with poison or needles, and you continue to deduct my points, I'll simply surrender without resistance and let them finish me off with a single blow."
After a moment of silence, the system compromised and said, "This is just one time. Host... please be careful."
"Eh? System, are you concerned about me?"
System: "Master, what's the situation now? Is this the time to talk about this? In short, be careful. If you're truly... no match for your opponent, running away is the best option. This system won't laugh at you."
Lan Xiyue muttered to herself: How could threatening her life actually make this damn system compromise? She seemed to have discovered something. This damn system seemed to care about her life.
Didn't it say it was dead and it was looking for a host? Apparently not. This damn system didn't tell her a single word of truth.
Humph! After she dealt with the person in front of her, she would go back and talk to the system properly.
The gray-clothed man narrowed his triangular eyes. Seeing Lan Xiyue's dazed expression, he couldn't help but smile sinisterly, "Miss Lan, are you pondering your last words? What a pity..." He slowly drew the scimitar from his waist and pointed it at her. "Even if you do have any last words, we won't convey a single word for you."
Lan Xiyue's eyes flashed, and her hands in her wide sleeves were quietly filled with medicine powder.
She smiled brightly. "In that case...why don't you tell me your last words first?" Her fingertips gently stroked the powder, her tone surprisingly innocent. "Tsk, I'm repaying evil with kindness. I truly have the heart of a bodhisattva."
"You're looking for death!" The gray-clothed man laughed in anger. "You're still talking nonsense when you're about to die?"
"Huh?" Lan Xiyue's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked behind everyone with joy, "Prince Regent, you're here! Help!"
"What?!" The man in gray was shocked all over, and more than ten men in black turned around at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, Lan Xiyue's sleeves fluttered, and medicinal powder poured out like a red mist.
The man in gray saw that there was no one behind them, then realized what was happening and became furious: "Oh no, we've been tricked!"
"Hold your breath! It's poison powder!" The man in gray covered his face in panic, but had already inhaled most of it.
Lan Xiyue had already jumped more than three feet away. "Bitch!" The man in gray was about to chase her, but suddenly he felt as if his internal organs were being gnawed by thousands of ants. "Ah--" a shrill scream pierced the woods.
"Kill her!"
The man in gray roared, and in an instant, the bowstring in the dark vibrated, and more than ten sharp arrows flew through the air, aiming straight at Lan Xiyue's throat.
"Oh shit!" Lan Xiyue instinctively rolled sideways. The arrow brushed past her hair and pierced into the tree trunk behind her. The feathers at the tail of the arrow were still trembling.
Her body reacted before her consciousness did. She tapped the ground with her toes and rushed towards the nearest ancient locust tree like an arrow.
With two "whoosh" sounds, two more arrows flew past her ears.
Lan Xiyue pressed her back against the tree trunk. "Damn it! There's an archer in the dark!" She gritted her teeth and cursed, "System, throw a bomb! I'll blow them to death and show them what a dimensionality reduction attack is! Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
System: "Host, your current points balance is zero and cannot be redeemed for high-explosive grenades."
"Can't you give me credit?" Lan Xiyue ducked to avoid another hail of arrows, bark splattering on her face. "System, can you be a little more flexible? Didn't you give me credit last time?"
System: "We do not accept credit for items in the mall. This system recommends that if you are defeated, run away immediately. Your life is more important."
"What the hell!" A cold light flashed in Lan Xiyue's eyes, and with a flash of thought, several embroidery needles appeared in her hand in an instant.
A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she had already pinched ten silver needles between her fingers as her fingers flew.
Lan Xiyue took a deep breath, flashed out from behind the tree trunk like a ghost, and waved her right hand.
The embroidery needle broke through the air, making a slight "chi chi" sound, and several muffled groans came from the darkness.
The arrows stopped, and among the swaying shadows of the trees, more than ten black shadows surrounded the big tree in front like ghosts.
The sound of dead leaves breaking on the soles of boots was so close that Lan Xiyue could even hear their suppressed breathing.
"Host, stop being so stubborn!" The system's voice was unusually urgent. "Run away first. Your life is at stake. There's no shame in running away!"
"Why are you running? Didn't you ask me to kill them?" Lan Xiyue clenched a handful of sleeping pills in her left hand and held it in her right hand backwards.
System: "This... This system thought there were only these few scumbags, but who knew there were so many people in the dark. Host, don't be impulsive, your life is important. It's not shameful to run away, the most important thing is your life!"
"Come on, let's see how I can defeat them."
There was a slight vibration from the tree trunk, and the nearest man in black was approaching within three feet.
Lan Xiyue was about to attack!
"You dare to hurt Xiao Yue'er? You're seeking death!"
A clear voice broke through the air, and before the voice fell, silver light filled the sky!
“Swish, swish, swish—”
The approaching black shadows suddenly froze in place, and the next second, blood spurted out from their throats at the same time, blooming into enchanting red plums.
“Pah…”
A gold-painted bone fan spun and fell back into the hands of its owner. The fan was splattered with blood, but it made the fingers of the person holding the fan look even more like jade.
Dongfang Ming gracefully descended from the top of the tree, his red dress making him look extremely charming.
Seventeen bodies collapsed to the ground, disbelief frozen in their wide eyes.
Lan Xiyue came out from behind the tree, "Huh? Monster, why are you here?"
Dongfang Ming smiled evilly and closed the fan, "Xiao Yue'er, are you okay?"
