Chapter 986: Beating Up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Xu did not show any mercy with this fall. The entire ground cracked.

The Saintess’ mind froze.

Right on the heels of that, she felt intense pain coming from her entire back, spreading to her limbs and bones. Every bone in her body was filled with needle-like pain.

The Saintess was a one-in-a-million expert. There were very few people in the world who could hurt her.

It had been a long time since she had felt such damage. Even the veins on her forehead bulged and the red blood vessels in her eyes cracked.

She looked at this man whom she had carefully controlled with medicine for five years with an ice-cold gaze. She could not believe that he had regained his rationality after she had activated the parasitic poison.

His eyes were clearer and more ruthless than ever.

She grabbed his wrist with one hand and tried to pry his large palm away but to no avail.

She took out a silver needle with her other hand and stabbed it into Wei Xu’s arm!

Wei Xu blocked her hand.

She raised her long legs, and her excellent flexibility made her toes rise high, aiming for the back of Wei Xu’s head.

Wei Xu dodged sideways and let go of her.

She slapped the ground and used the momentum to soar into the air. Then she flipped and rushed towards the roof.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xu was faster than her. He grabbed her again and threw her down!

The crack in the ground widened.

Her back was cut by a protruding stone, and blood stained her back. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood.

Su Li was stunned. “Wow, that’s amazing! As expected of my father!”

If he could even defeat an out-of-this-world expert like the Saintess, his father was mighty!

If he was praising someone, so be it. Why did he blindly acknowledge him as his father?

Su Xiaoxiao was also extremely excited.

It was too shocking to witness experts exchanging blows! Good job, father-in-law!

After a short recovery, the remaining eight puppet experts immediately rushed over to kill Wei Xu.

Su Xuan flew up and stood in front of them.

Su Xuan had exhausted most of his stamina, but these people were also seriously injured by Wei Xu.

In a one-on-eight battle, they did not have the advantage in numbers, but it was not a problem to hold them off for a while.

Wei Ting observed their formation.

Su Xiaoxiao understood what he wanted to do and threw the golden bow and quiver on her back. “Catch!”

Su Xiaoxiao’s archery skills were taught by Wei Ting. No matter how powerful she was, Wei Ting would only be stronger.

Wei Ting held the golden bow and carried the quiver on his back. He leaped and found a high ground.

Su Xuan attacked.

Wei Ting shot an arrow and forced back a puppet expert who had ambushed Su Xuan.

The puppet expert discovered Wei Ting and picked up a spear on the ground to throw at him.

Wei Ting tilted his head to avoid it and pulled the second string.

Three arrows were fired at the same time!

Su Xuan felt the arrow coming from behind and slashed down. The three puppet experts were forced back.

Su Li clapped his hands and cheered. “Yes! Fourth Brother! That’s it! Even if you can’t kill him, you have to be a s.h.i.t stirrer!”

The corners of Su Xuan’s mouth twitched. He wanted to kill his idiotic brother first.

The remaining five stopped fighting Su Xuan and used the cover of the eaves to hide behind Wei Xu.

Wei Ting shot five arrows in a row.

By the fifth arrow, he threw out the last mechanical box.

The moment the arrow pierced through the box, countless poisonous needles shot out.

Wei Xu felt a chill run down his spine. He waved the Qingfeng Sword back and blocked a poisonous needle that almost injured him by accident.

Wei Ting was embarra.s.sed. It was not his fault. If there was anyone to blame, it was Second Brother. He did not say that this mechanism box attacked indiscriminately.

Su Xuan stopped four, Wei Ting injured two, and two dodged.

The two of them fought Wei Xu.

The Saintess also joined the battle again.

However, even with the combined strength of the three of them, they were still not Wei Xu’s match.

The Saintess gradually felt the strain.

When Wei Xu threw her to the ground for the third time, she finally couldn’t help but vomit a mouthful of blood!

The other two puppets had long died under Wei Xu’s sword.

The Saintess knew that she could not take Wei Xu away tonight no matter what. She had the intention to retreat and stop fighting.

But how could it be so easy to leave?

Wei Xu’s sword stabbed at her.

Puchi—

The sharp blade entered her body.

It was not the Saintess, but Emissary Loo, who had woken up. She used her body to block the blow for the Saintess.

“Saintess… leave quickly…”

The Saintess looked back in the air and saw her most capable confidant die in Wei Xu’s hands for her. It would be a lie to say that her heart did not ache! There were still twelve top puppet experts. If she left, Wei Xu would not leave any of them alive!

Her years of hard work… had been ruined by Wei Xu!

Had she known that she would not be able to capture Wei Xu, she would have paid such a tragic price.

She should have killed Wei Xu!

Her blood surged and she spat out another mouthful of blood.

Anger surged into her red eyes. She gritted her teeth and threw out a black gunpowder poisonous pill, which exploded into a spreading poisonous fog.

Under the cover of the poisonous fog, she quickly fled.

The Saintess did not dare to stay for a moment. She finally returned to the Holy Maiden Temple before Wei Xu caught up.

Of course, it was also possible that Wei Xu did not chase after her at all.

The pain from all over her body made her consciousness a little chaotic, so she couldn’t think too much.

She used her qinggong to enter her bedroom.

The person on night duty tonight was Emissary Lu.

She had just come over from the small garden with a lantern when a figure fell from the wall. Alarm bells rang in her heart. “Who is it!”

“It’s me…”

The Saintess said as she endured the pain.

Emissary Lu held the lantern and shone it in the direction of the voice. Her expression changed. “Saintess?” The Saintess frowned. “Don’t tell anyone…”

“Yes!”

Emissary Lu hurriedly lowered her voice and looked around. She quickly walked over and helped the Saintess back to the bedroom.

The Saintess was covered in blood, especially her back, which was badly mangled.

Emissary Lu had followed the Saintess for so long, but she had never seen her so seriously injured.

She helped the Saintess sit on a chair and asked in fear, “Saintess? What happened? Who injured you?”

The Saintess’s face was pale, and she broke out in cold sweat from the pain.

“Wei

Emissary Lu gasped!

It was not that Wei Xu had never injured the Saintess, but she had only suffered light injuries in the past. Why was it different this time…

Even the Saintess was surprised by this.

Logically speaking, after being fed so much medicine, Wei Xu would not have much rationality left.

Tonight, he seemed to have become a different person… or rather… returned to the gaze he had when she first saw him five years ago. Could it be that he remembered everything?

Impossible!

Her medicine had never failed!

It was impossible for the erased memories to return!

“Ugh..

In her excitement, her injuries acted up and her body trembled as she vomited blood.

It was dark on the street just now, so she couldn’t see it clearly. Now that she shone the oil lamp on it, she realized that the color of the blood was wrong.

Emissary Lu turned the wick brighter. It was indeed black blood.

Emissary Lu was shocked. She hurriedly grabbed the Holy Maiden’s wrist and took her pulse. “Not good, you’re poisoned…” The Saintess’ expression darkened.

Wei Xu’s sword had been smeared with poison!
