Chapter 372: Chapter 425: Mysterious Woman Chapter 372: Chapter 425: Mysterious Woman To Gongsun Yudie, Chen Nan was nothing more than a spent force.
After all, he had been pierced by the darts first, and then hit by her own palm. His injuries had beco extrely severe, and although he possessed the strength to fight beyond his level, his badly wounded body could hardly exert even fifty percent of his combat power now.
Gongsun Yudie was absolutely confident that she could slay Chen Nan!
“Boom…”
With thunder and lightning flashing, Gongsun Yudie felt as if she had been struck by electricity when she ca into contact with Chen Nan’s Thunderbolt Palm Force, her entire body going numb.
However, that was only for an instant. The next mont, the remaining True Qi in her body resisted the power of the lightning, and the True Qi bursting forth from her palms collided with Chen Nan’s, shaking the ground.
“Crack…”
A crisp shattering sound followed, and both their Hand Powers shattered almost at the sa ti. They were both sent flying nearly a hundred ters away, rolling on the ground for more than ten ters.
“Cough cough…”
Chen Nan clutched his chest as he coughed violently, blood quickly staining the ground red.
Using his hands to prop himself up off the ground, he struggled to stand but couldn’t muster any strength. The strike with the Thunderbolt Hand had exhausted all his energy.
Looking at the dart still dripping blood on his chest, hatred filled Chen Nan’s heart.
Although he was of Qi Dao Eighth Layer Heaven, a small realm below Gongsun Yudie, if he hadn’t been injured, his arsenal of ultimate kills, he would not have feared Qi Dao Ninth Heaven!
It wasn’t like he hadn’t slain enemies a level above him before.
But today, he felt powerless, his injuries were just too severe.
Chen Nan glanced at Eastern Yun Fei and Huo Xinya, who lay unconscious on the ground a distance away. He gritted his teeth and stared at Gongsun Yudie as she approached step by step, “Kill if you must, but if you dare touch them, I swear, even in death, I will not spare you!”
“They have no quarrel with ; naturally, I will not kill innocents without cause.”
Gongsun Yudie had a pale face and blood on her lips. She walked towards Chen Nan with sowhat unsteady steps.
The palm strike from Chen Nan just now had also damaged her internal organs, but her injuries weren’t as severe as Chen Nan’s. Slowly drawing out the Golden Soft Sword coiled around her waist, her eyes fixed on Chen Nan, she said, “I admire your martial arts talent, but it’s a pity you have a fatal weakness, and that’s won.”
Chen Nan replied, “I only regret that back in the Red Mangrove, I didn’t cut off your head with a single stroke of my sword!”
Gongsun Yudie, sword in hand, walked up to him, “That’s why I say, won are your weakness.” She glanced at Huo Xinya lying on the ground and said, “If it weren’t for this woman today, you wouldn’t have stabbed yourself, and I wouldn’t have killed you so easily.”
Chen Nan gave a cold laugh, saying nothing.
“et your demise!”
Gongsun Yudie’s long sword slowly raised, aiming at his throat to stab down.
However, facing this man who had no ability to resist, although she had lifted her sword, she couldn’t thrust it forward; every ti she tried to exert a little force, her hand went limp, unable to exert any strength.
She couldn’t help recalling how Chen Nan had spared her multiple tis in the past when he could have killed her.
Why can’t I bring myself to do it?
Gongsun Yudie gripped the Golden Soft Sword tightly, her hand trembling.
At this mont, it wasn’t her hand that was soft, but her heart; the hand is controlled by the heart, and once the heart yields, the hand will inevitably follow.
“If you won’t kill him, then let do it!”
Ye Ruoshui stepped forward, her eyes filled with murderous intent, and said to Gongsun Yudie, “Lend your sword.”
Gongsun Yudie, sowhat numbly, handed over the sword.
Ye Ruoshui was the disciple of the soul-snatching assassin and had also mastered a host of evil martial arts techniques. Compared to sect disciples like Gongsun Yudie, her thods were naturally more ruthless. She grabbed the sword and fiercely thrust it toward Chen Nan’s throat, striking with lethal force and without the slightest hint of rcy.
Chen Nan felt completely drained at this mont, his inner strength had been exhausted. Although his mind could react and wanted to dodge, his body couldn’t keep up with the pace.
As the sword tip was about to pierce his neck, he had no way to stop it.
“Whoosh…”
Just then, suddenly a cold light flew in, seemingly a dart.
“Clang…”
A clear sound of tal striking tal rang out as the dart hit the sword blade, knocking Ye Ruoshui’s long sword off course and causing her attack to miss. The massive force numbed Ye Ruoshui’s tiger’s mouth, and the Golden Soft Sword dropped from her hand with a clatter.
“Who?”
Gongsun Yudie and Ye Ruoshui turned their heads simultaneously to look to the side.
Not far away, a woman dressed in white was quickly rushing toward them.
Her eyes were like autumn water, her face was frosty. Although not exceedingly beautiful, she wasn’t ugly either, her features were rather ordinary.
She appeared exceptionally indifferent, like an iceberg, and it was this cold aura that gave her otherwise plain face a unique charm.
At first glance, one might not find her very pretty, but she had a certain appeal that grew on you the more you looked at her.
“Ching…”
With a light sound, the woman in white drew two crescent-shaped short blades from her waist and held them in her hands. Without a word, she rushed forward, slashing one knife at Gongsun Yudie and the other at Ye Ruoshui.
These seemingly ordinary slashes had incredibly fierce montum.
Fast! Precise! Ruthless!
These three words were perfectly exemplified by the woman in white.
Faced with such ferocious attacks, Ye Ruoshui was too slow to react and was slashed on the arm by the “swoosh” of the blade, causing blood to spurt out. Her left arm fell to the ground in an instant, and she scread piteously.
On the other side, Gongsun Yudie, who had achieved the Qi Dao Ninth Layer Heaven, was hurried but narrowly managed to dodge in ti.
“Who are you?”
Gongsun Yudie stepped down, kicking the Golden Soft Sword from the ground into her hand, and stared at the woman in white warily.
“Go ask King Yama!”
The woman in white’s voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.
As she spoke, her twin blades danced through the air, creating what seed to be a dense net of knives, relentlessly striking at Gongsun Yudie.
Gongsun Yudie did not dare to take it lightly and firmly held the soft sword to fend off the attacks.
Seeing the two locked in a stalemate, Ye Ruoshui, clutching her severed arm, trembled with pain and hastily turned to run away.
After more than a dozen exchanges, neither seed to gain an upper hand, but Gongsun Yudie was increasingly alard.
From their brief clash, she felt that her opponent’s inner strength cultivation was rely at the Qi Dao Eighth Layer Heaven, but her saber technique was lightning-fast and the moves were unpredictable and hard to guard against.
If it hadn’t been for the injury she sustained from the clash with Chen Nan, Gongsun Yudie might have been confident she could win, but now, with her inner injuries, she couldn’t get any advantage over the woman in white. Continuing the fight would likely result in mutual destruction.
“Consider yourself lucky!”
Glancing at Chen Nan, Gongsun Yudie feinted a move and turned to flee.
