Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1233 - 1230_1

In the darkness, a figure draped in black and red clothing stood on the hillside, watching the brawl below, their eyes enigmatic.

Prince Rui—strong!

Princess Rui—strong!

He then looked up at the shimmering stars in the night sky: two twinkling stars, side by side, stupendously brilliant!

Truly, the most dazzling marshal stars in the entire sky!

But how should they fall?

Gu Xuan shifted his gaze from the sky, resting it on the distant courtyard. With a swish of his robe, his figure disappeared from the hillside. Simultaneously, a sharp arrow was launched hundreds of meters away— with an unstoppable force!

After Gu Xuan’s departure, ten figures in black and red clothing descended from the mountain, darting towards the courtyard!

Shangguan Xuanyi whipped out his weapon, effortlessly flipping over a dozen soldiers. He quickly turned his head towards a certain direction, only to see a tiny black dot growing larger!

He cast a quick glance at Xiao’er: Xiao’er was fighting fiercely with her whip. She turned her head subconsciously, only to find the black dot approaching fast!

Before she could react, a golden whip wrapped around her waist.

With a tug from Shangguan Xuanyi, Xiao’er flew towards him, following the direction of his force.

As Xiao’er was lifted by the waist, she attempted to struggle, but a shadow flicked across her chest. If not for the gust of wind and a ’whoosh’ sound, Xiao’er would have thought she was seeing things!

Dodging by a split second, the sharp arrow would have pierced through her!

Xiao’er fell into Shangguan Xuanyi’s embrace, his arms wrapped securely around her waist.

Xiao’er quickly turned her head in the direction of the disappearing arrow, but saw only a soldier from Nangong Country clutching his chest, the arrow was nowhere to be seen.

"Where’s the arrow?" Xiao’er asked.

"It’s in the ground!"

"The whole thing?" Xiao’er asked, looking at the ground devoid of anything but bloodstains.

"Yes," Shangguan Xuanyi replied, looking towards the direction of the hillside, his face growing grave:

"Ten more masters are here! They are determined to keep us here!"

As soon as Shangguan Xuanyi finished speaking, ten figures in black and red clothing leapt onto the courtyard wall and charged at Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao’er without any hesitation!

These new arrivals dressed in red and black were Gu Xuan’s subordinates.

"You four! Handle these shrimps and crabs!" After Xiao’er finished speaking, she and Shangguan Xuanyi went to deal with Gu Xuan’s ten subordinates.

Seeing the swarm of soldiers and untouched black-clothed killers in front of her, Xi’er couldn’t help but wail, "No fair! It’s bad enough they’re outnumbering us! But they keep coming one wave after another! You people of Nangong Country are shameless, utterly shameless!"

"Killing you is more important than dignity!" The black-clothed leader, glad about the arrival of the reinforcements, was not angered by Xi’er’s words!

"If you people are going to be shameless, then I’ll have to resort to shameless tactics! I have never been one to willingly submit beneath my enemies!" Xi’er threw a poisonous egg at Gu Xuan’s subordinates, they had already swallowed an antidote pill anyway!

Gu Xuan’s subordinates were extremely quick. They held their breath and deployed their Qinggong skills the moment the poison pill exploded, sidestepping the range of the poison powder blast.

Taking advantage of this, Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi attacked, two flying darts bolted forth with lightning speed, successively entering the hearts of two of Gu Xuan’s subordinates who couldn’t react in time.

After that, Xiao’er and Shangguan Xuanyi continued to launch darts. Dart after dart, carrying immeasurable force, flew out at high speed, with Gu Xuan’s subordinates dodging in various ways.

Seeing that the darts weren’t hitting their targets, Shangguan Xuanyi swung his whip and sent it flying towards them.

"Xi’er, do you have more poison eggs? Keep throwing them!" Xiao’er shouted.

"Yes, I have plenty, let me get them, wait!" Xi’er responded while fending off the soldiers before her.

"Good!" Xiao’er responded, while whipping out darts to fend off Gu Xuan’s attacking subordinates.

Gu Xuan’s men were highly agile. Their primary strength was their speed, far exceeding that of the previous black-clothed men. They managed to avoid Xiao’er’s lethal whip!

Shortly after, Xi’er brought out another poison egg!

"Here comes the poison egg! If this poison touches your eyes, you’ll be blind instantly, be careful!" After saying this, Xi’er aimed in a certain direction and threw the poison egg.

Xi’er’s words caught the attention of the enemy, many turned to look in that direction.

They saw a white pill flying towards Gu Xuan’s subordinates.

Many enemies instinctively dodged the path of the poison egg. Those poisoned and feeling uncomfortable, even shut their eyes.

Gu Xuan’s men similarly, swiftly sidestepped.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao’er spotted a potential target among the red and black-clothed men who had actually closed his eyes, and swiftly took them down! ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Zhao Yong and Shangguan Xuanyao also capitalized on the situation, killing a few more people!

The poison egg fell to the ground, but it did not explode! Then everyone realized it was just a pearl that was thrown!

Shameless, utterly shameless!

They were actually deceiving us!

Seeing that the poison egg did not explode, Xi’er was surprised and said, "Eh! It didn’t explode. I must have got the wrong one. Sorry! Let’s go again, I won’t make a mistake this time!"

Liar!

She certainly has no more poison eggs, that’s why she’s deceiving us!

Xi’er dodged a knife slashing her way, then glared at the man, "You shameless scoundrel, trying to attack me when I’m distracted! Taste a poison egg!"

After saying this, she scattered a handful of poison powder towards the soldiers.

The soldier thought it was a bluff, he didn’t even attempt to dodge, instead he lashed out at Xi’er. Suddenly, his eyes were struck by an intense pain.

He couldn’t help covering his eyes with his hands, crying out in pain, "Ah!"

Soon, blood started seeping through his fingers!

"I told you this poison, once it gets in the eyes, causes instant blindness. Dumbass didn’t even know to shut his eyes!" After leaving this comment, Xi’er quickly darted away.

Next, this soldier will surely flail his sword!

As expected!

"Ah! I will kill you!" The soldier slashed his sword forward, missing his target. He continued to swing his sword aimlessly, yelling out in anger.

"I’m gonna kill you, you poison witch!"

The soldiers of Nangong Country dodged hastily, "Have you gone mad? It’s me!"

"Damn! You’re attacking the wrong person!"

...

The soldier didn’t care; he continued to slash.

He had lost his sight forever, what was the point of living!

Here, a small chaos was created, Zhao Yong and the others took advantage of the confusion and took down another dozen people, before the soldier was finally killed by his own comrades.
