Swish!
Tingting pulled out her long sword and walked out of the room.
Knowing that their plan had fallen through, the two fellows from Yiyi Parlor immediately headed downstairs.
“I didn’t expect for one of them to refuse to eat the fish. They’re being very careful. Who can actually resist the temptation of the silver fish!”
They’ve made a mistake.
They thought it would be an easy task.
But they didn’t expect that someone wouldn’t eat the fish, and so, they had failed their task.
“Let’s leave right now! We’ll go back and report to the Fourth Master,” one of them said urgently.
“Don’t be so anxious. We can’t panic right now. Otherwise, she’ll notice us and know that we did this.”
“The Fourth Master said that the cold-faced girl is the most powerful among them. When they recover from the poison, they’re going to look for us. If we don’t run right now, we won’t be able to escape then.”
“Well… Let’s run quickly!”
Swish!
Just as they were ready to leave, they saw something appear in front of their eyes.
Someone appeared in front of them and blocked their way.
She stared at them coldly.
“Want to leave? Have you asked my sword?”
The long sword was in front of them.
It gave out a dazzling gleam.
A sense of dread came with it.
The two men shivered.
“Lady… warrior! It’s none of our business! We’re just innocent people working in Yiyi Parlor.”
One of them said this and shrank backward, trembling and staring at the sword with pupils dilated.
The other one didn’t say a single word. His legs and lips trembled for a long time.
His pants were totally wet.
“Why did you poison us? Who instructed you to do this?”
Swish!
The long sword was on the neck of the fellow who opened his mouth.
“We didn’t poison…”
“You didn’t? Then how did my two companions pass out? If you don’t tell me truth, I will cut off your flesh bit by bit and make a meat soup for the hungry people in the city.”
“I… I…”
Swish!
The sword light flashed.
A piece of cloth fell down.
The piece of cloth was also stained with some blood.
Under the blood was a thin slice of flesh.
“Ah…”
Swish!
Another slice of flesh fell to the ground.
The two men totally freaked out.
Tingting smelled something like urine.
It seemed that they had wet their pants.
“I’ll tell you…”
Tingting took back her sword. She stared at the two men with icy eyes like a long sword stabbing into their hearts.
Dang!
The two men’s hearts contracted at the same time.
“This is a kind of hallucination pill. When acting with the bitter bile of silver fish, it’ll produce more powerful hallucination effect.”
“Who instructed you to do this?”
“I…”
Swish!
Another piece of flesh fell down.
The two fellows felt the pain coming from their palms.
When they looked down, the piece of flesh in their palms was gone.
They were deeply horrified.
They had no idea how the flesh in their palms had disappeared.
“This… Please don’t kill me…”
Bang!
The two men knelt down and begged for mercy.
“Who instructed you?”
Tingting’s gaze was cold and stern.
If she hadn’t gone through her traumatizing experience, she might have been soft-hearted when the two men begged for mercy.
But she herself had gone through this kind of despair.
Now the same thing almost happened to her again.
Even Chu Qing and Zhou Hua were in danger.
If she had moved a little slower, they would experience the same kind of despair of helplessness.
What had they done wrong?
Damn it!
Whether it was these two who directly drugged them, or the one who instructed them to do so, they all deserved to die.
“I can’t tell you…”
Swish!
“If you tell me, you may still live. If you don’t, you’ll die.”
“Lady warrior, please don’t kill us! If we don’t tell you, we’ll be the ones that die. But if we tell you, our families will be dead.”
The two men wailed loudly.
The guests in Yiyi Parlor heard the sound and gradually gathered around.
“It seems that the one behind this is from a powerful clan in the Snow City!”
Tingting knew it clearly.
Apart from the clans which controlled the Snow City, she couldn’t think of any other clans or sects that could make these two so frightened.
She remembered that a so-called Fourth Master from Clan Wind had talked to them on several occasions, hoping to invite them as guests.
She had a solid guess that he was the one who was behind this.
But it was just a guess. If these two men could confirm her suspicions, then she would have a reason to find him and take her revenge.
“I… I…”
The two men froze.
“Is it the Fourth Master from Clan Wind?”
“I…”
The two men’s eyes flashed with hesitation.
Swish!
A piece of flesh fell off from each of the two men’s chests.
At this point, Tingting already had a clear answer.
It was the Fourth Master from Clan Wind who did it.
Someone in the crowd yelled out: “Tell us! Is it the Fourth Master from Clan Wind?” His tone was full of intimidation.
The two fellow looked even more terrified when they heard the man yelling.
“You shut up!” Tingting said angrily.
With a twist of the sword, she cut off the lips of the man in the crowd.
“Tell me!”
She pointed her long sword at the two fellows.
“Please, don’t kill us!”
The two fellows instantly kowtowed to Tingting.
They were overwhelmed by despair!
By now, this female devil should know that it was the Fourth Master who ordered them, so why did she want them to tell her?
If they told her, they would die.
Wasn’t she forcing their families to die with them?
“If you tell me, I won’t kill you! And I’ll also protect your families. You have to believe that I’m capable of doing that.”
Tingting said in a cold voice.
With grandpa Li Mu here, she wasn’t even afraid of the Qingmu Sacred Ground, not to mention the smaller Snow City.
“I…”
The two men hesitated.
Just at this moment, a cold light flashed.
Whoosh!
Several daggers flew toward the two men.
“Who did this?”
Tingting glared angrily.
Swinging her sword, she knocked away these flying daggers.
At the same time, the sword light turned into three parts and flew towards the three people who threw the daggers.
Bang!
The sound of something falling down rang out from all corners of the building.
“My arm…”
The crowd looked over.
Wow!
Six bloody arms rolled down to the ground.
What a fast sword!
The crowd was surprised.
They were also surprised by the three people who threw the daggers.
They were not in the same place, but they could throw the daggers at the same time, fast, stable, and accurate.
The cooperation was excellent.
But no matter how fast the daggers were, they were still blocked by the girl.
And the girl even attacked back.
The crowd could tell that the girl was serious about protecting these two fellows’ families.
“Hmm?”
Tingting frowned and stared at the thin needles stuck at the throats of the two fellows.
She was fooled by those people.
She was still too young and naïve.
Just at the moment she attacked those three, she heard the slight sound of wind.
She at once turned her sword and tried to cut off the flying needles.
But it was too late.
The needles flew out at an extremely fast speed, almost without any sound.
By the time they were discovered, it was already too late.
“Who?”
Tingting stared at the crowd.
“Who did this,” she roared.
The crowd was stunned.
They didn’t understand what she was yelling about.
Didn’t she block those flying daggers?
Bang!
At that moment, the crowd heard the sound of two objects falling to the ground.
The two fellows fell to the ground.
The crowd was astonished.
They took a step back.
What happened?
How did the two fellows get killed?
They thought carefully.
It seemed things were not as simple as they thought!
Tingting’s gaze swept through the crowd several times.
There was no way to find the person who did it was.
The needles were thrown out half a millisecond after the daggers, so the sound of the daggers covered the sound of the needles.
When she hit down the daggers, the needles could keep flying without being discovered.
When she cut off the arms of the three people, the needles appeared, but it was already too late.
What a sophisticated plan!
It thoroughly considered how she would react.
The needles and daggers can work so closely together.
Yes!
In this case, the three people who threw the daggers must have known the one who threw the needles.
“You three, tell me, who else is working with you?”
Tingting moved quickly and took one of them to another.
The long sword in her right hand was pointed at the other one, and the dagger in her left hand was pressed against the necks of the other two.
Bang!
Just when she finished her question, the three suddenly had blacken faces, frothing at the mouth.
Then they fell to the ground. With their bodies twitched for a while, they rolled over their eyes and couldn’t never move again.
“They killed themselves?”
Tingting froze.
She stared at the crowd with resentful eyes.
For a moment, she didn’t know what she could do.
