Chapter 493 Night Ambush (3)
The intruder reacted quickly to her slash too, he blocked her with his own weapon and did not show any signs of backing down. This was no ordinary fighter.
Li Yue was shocked. Although she didnât use much strength, it was not supposed to be this easy to block her slash either. She was very surprised Ye Lang was this skilled.
With his behaviour, he didnât look like he was a very skilled swordsman, he looked like he could be defeated very easily.
What shocked her even more was that after he parried, he threw a fist of powder which filled the entire tent immediately.
Li Yue could not react in time to such an unexpected attack, inhaling a mouthful of powder instantly. When she held her breath, it was already too late.
Very soon, she knew what this powder was because she was losing strength rapidly in all her muscles. It was a toxin made to lose control of your muscles.
âYou scum! I canât believe you!â cursed Li Yue through clenched teeth.
âHahaha, Iâve always been like this, Miss Li Yue, havenât you known?â the intruder guffawed.
And after she heard his voice, she knew the intruder before her eyes was not Ye Lang. She remembered him, he was one of the many men pursuing her. She recalled rejecting him before.
âItâs you.â
âOf course itâs me! Who did you think I was, that fox idiot? Heâs very far away. Such an idiot, throwing away such a good opportunity. Then again, todayâs my lucky day since heâs so far away. Saved me a lot of troubleâŠâ the man chuckled.
âLi Xiande! Youâre still the son of the First Swordsman, how could you do such a thing? Arenât you afraid of ruining your fatherâs good name?â Li Yueâs glared furiously at him.
Li Xiande. She couldnât believe it was Li Xiande. Ye Lang had killed his brother, so he was now the only son of the First Swordsman.
Li Xiande had always looked like a proud, honest man, she couldnât believe he was such scum in the dark.
âHis good name? He has many women of his own.â Li Xiande had a look of disgust. âDonât worry, youâll be mine after this, Iâll be responsible for all your needsâŠâ
âGo to hell! Iâd rather die than let you touch me,â bristled Li Yue.
âDie? Iâll never let you die. You wonât even have the strength to die! That was Shixiang powder, it will relax every single muscle in your bodyâŠâ Li Xiande sneered.
ââŠâ Li Yueâs brows furrowed. She could feel arm unable to hold her sword properly. The powder was working.
If it wasnât for a final trick up her sleeve, she wouldâve killed herself there. Although she wasnât an impulsive person, she would rather die than let this scum touch her.
Of course, her final trick wasnât Ye Lang. Although she had hope in him, he wasnât her final line of defence.
It was the Tianji Armour.
âYou must be thinking about your Tianji Armour, right?â he laughed. From his look, not only did he know about her armour, he also knew it wasnât a problem for him.
âYouâŠâ She didnât need to be a genius to know what he was implying.
âItâs useless now, itâs just an alchemy item. It canât function without magic. My men have already activated an anti-magic alchemy formation outside, you should just relax and do your job as a woman.â Li Xiande approached Li Yue with a sneer.
Li Xiande had made thorough preparations for this day. From sending his men to follow them, to the Shixiang powder to the antimagic formation⊠Heâd already prepared for everything he could think of.
Right now, Li Yue was the fish on his chopping board, for him to use as he pleased.
âThe Li clan would never forgive you for this.â All she could do now was use her family name as a warning. Her eyes were filled with hopelessness.
At this point, Ye Lang was the most important person to her. He was her only hope.
If she knew Ye Lang did not even care to come, sheâd die from an immediate heart attack.
âSo what? My fatherâs the First Swordsman of the empire, so what if the Li clan hates us? Is there anyone in the Li family who can beat my father?â Li Xiande asked arrogantly.
She fell silent. It was true. While family background was important, your personal skills and capabilities were still the most important in this world. If you could attain such a level of mastery like the First Swordsman, even if he was from a common family, every other powerful family clan would still have to revere him.
Not just the clans, even the empire would do so.
If this was brought to court, the empire would definitely not stand with the Li family, though they would also not support the Swordsmanâs side. And after that, both sides would have to settle this matter in private.
âHaha, what about this: I marry you, then you Li family would be protected by the empireâs First Swordsman. This is the best outcome anyone could ask for,â he laughed. Li Xiande was coming closer.
âYou animal! You animal, Iâll never let you get away with this!â Li Yue was struggling to back away. At this moment, she couldnât help but hate Ye Lang. Why was he taking so long?
However, come to think of it, what would happen if he arrived? Would he be able to stop Li Xiande?
From what she knew, Li Xiande was a Di Earth Level fighter. She wasnât sure she could beat him in a fight herself. He was the son of the First Swordsmen and he lived up to it.
There were also many people outside, would Ye Lang be able to save her?
When her train of thought arrived at this point, Li Yue felt all hope leave her. She regretted being so careless, she hadnât expected anyone to stage an attack at a moment like this. And the attacker had come so prepared too.
Li Yue tried activating her Tianji Armour but it was useless.
She was ready to die as she watched him approach step by step, his disgusting sneer growing wider with the second. However, before she died, she must kill him too. No matter what he took.
And at this moment, she became oddly calm. Li Yue stared at him coldly.
Li Xiande couldnât help but feel fear secretly seeping into him when he caught her eyes. However, he chose to ignore his fear, for he was filled with a primal need.
And with a roar, he pounced on her, ripping her clothes offâŠ
Was this really happening?
Li Yue was seething with hatred, screaming internally. She prayed silently that no matter who came to save her, she would spend her entire life repaying them.
