The leader among them moved swiftly to evade quickly, managing to avoid being surrounded at first. However, he was left on his own, and the exit was blocked, making it impossible for him to find a way out. He cursed under his breath with an extrely ugly expression.
He knew exactly what it ant to be captured and couldn’t help but feel regretful, thinking that everything had been going so smoothly — how did he end up getting encircled by these people?
As his peripheral vision shifted, he noticed Nianyang, who was suppressing his wife not far away. The leader decided to pour all his hatred and resentnt onto her.
"It’s you, you ddling brat! I’m going to kill you!"
Furious beyond restraint, he cursed angrily and dashed towards Nianyang.
He held a sharp‖short‖knife, aiming to stab it into Nianyang’s back
It was at this mont that Li Tingyan saw Nianyang, and instantly, his blood rushed to his head!
So, the female doctor the conductor ntioned was his wife?
He instinctively shouted out, "Nini, watch out!"
Nianyang’s eyes flickered upon hearing Li Tingyan’s voice, reflecting the silver glint of the knife’s edge. Although she didn’t have any combat power, she had been drinking Spiritual Spring water for almost two months, substantially boosting her overall physical condition. As the short knife was about to be plunged in, she quickly jumped back two steps.
However, she was a few seconds too late, and though the short‖knife didn’t pierce‖her back, it grazed hard against her arm.
With a ripping sound!
A long gash appeared on Nianyang’s arm, blood gushing out imdiately. The sharp pain made her cry out, and she fell straight to the ground.
"So, you’re in cahoots with those people, huh? Since you won’t give a way out, I’ll drag you down with !"
The man’s face twisted grotesquely, his tattooed iron arms exposing bulging veins as he brandished the short‖knife, his eyes blood-red, slashing fiercely at Nianyang’s heart like a devil baring its claws and fangs.
"Stop!"
Li Tingyan shouted fiercely, his voice carrying a natural imperial aura that made everyone’s heart jump.
Accompanying the shout, Li Tingyan pulled out a dart, its black arrow feather aiming precisely at the leader as it flew.
The next second, it swiftly and accurately penetrated the man’s leg.
"Ah!"
The man fell to his knees in pain, clutching his leg and rolling about. Li Tingyan’s strength was particularly significant, hitting the lethal leg bone, and the arrow feather was coated with special chili water. Once it pierced into flesh and blood, the pain was piercing.
Just hearing the screams was enough to give everyone goosebumps!
Working at sea, he surely had skills and tools. Li Tingyan always carried these for protection.
With the crisis resolved, Li Tingyan quickly rushed to Nianyang’s side, tightly embracing her. His cold, tense gaze lted the instant he connected with Nianyang, as the steely lineants of his face softened like a spring water pool.
"Nini, I’m here,"
Nianyang was stunned.
Just those words, "I’m here," felt like a warm stream diving straight into Nianyang’s heart, instantly making her feel full of strength!
In her previous life, she fought alone for over twenty years, always struggling by herself — happy alone, sad alone, injured alone. No one had ever said "I’m here" to her, and it felt unexpectedly wonderful!
