Chapter 2: Du Xian'er (2)

"You bunch of trash think you can hurt me?"

It was obvious from his voice that this man was already seriously injured. The opponents had the advantage in numbers, and they were all experts.

It seemed impossible for her to have a quiet bath now... The girl slowly emerged from the water, gently wiping the droplets from her body, then picked up a piece of white gauze hung on a tree and wrapped herself in it.

"Longze Jingtian, if it were any other time, we definitely wouldn't be able to hurt you. But now that you've been poisoned for days, I don't believe that so many of us from Wuji Palace can't handle you! Don't listen to him, everyone! They only have five people!"

In the darkness, there were rustling sounds as over ten people dressed in black surrounded the group of five.

"Your Highness, you should leave first. We'll hold them off here!" Lu Yuan shielded Longze Jingtian behind him, "Ye, escort His Highness out of here!"

"Brother, I won't leave! You go with His Highness!" Lu Ye swung his sword and beheaded one of the black-clothed men, "Brother, you guys go!"

"None of you will get away!" A seductive woman in red appeared beside the enchantress, "Senior Brother, how did this little matter take you so long?"

"Junior Sister, it's not easy to deal with King Jing. We've already lost a lot of men."

"Hmph! In other words, you're useless! Watch me!"

The red shadow flew towards Lu Ye who was beside Longze Jingtian. With a muffled sound, a hole appeared in Lu Ye's abdomen, and blood gushed out.

Lu Ye felt pain, knelt on one knee, and supported himself with one hand holding his sword to prevent himself from falling. With his other hand, he quickly pressed his acupoints to stop the bleeding.

"Hehehe, it's useless. My dagger is poisoned." The red-clothed woman sneered sinisterly. Her white teeth and crimson lips made her look like a Hell Rakshasa.

"Ye, how are you?" Lu Yuan hurriedly came to Lu Ye's side, only to see his lips turning purple and a layer of black mist covering his face.

"Demoness, come and surrender your life!"

Seeing his younger brother injured, Lu Yuan drew his sword and swung it at the enchantress, but she dodged nimbly.

"Longze Jingtian, our mission is just to take your head. Why make it hard for these people who follow you? As long as you surrender willingly, we'll let them go and give him the antidote!"

The enchantress stood beside the red-clothed woman. The two of them, one in red and one in black, made a good match. The black-clothed man was extremely ugly, while the red-clothed woman was quite beautiful.

Longze Jingtian was seriously injured but still stood upright. Although pale, his body was enveloped in some kind of powerful force, making people afraid to approach.

"I want to know who wants my life." Longze Jingtian's voice was low and magnetic, showing no panic despite his current predicament.

"Hahaha!" The enchantress laughed as if she had heard a great joke, "Longze Jingtian, when you go to hell, Yama will tell you. Die now!"

The enchantress turned into a gust of black wind, heading straight for Longze Jingtian's chest.

Her speed was so fast that Lu Yuan couldn't get close.

"Your Highness!" Lu Yuan's desperate roar revealed his despair. He could only watch as the enchantress's sword pierced into Longze Jingtian's chest.

"Clang!"

Suddenly, a gust of white wind wrapped around the enchantress's sword. "Clang" the sword shattered into fragments, and with a few screams, three of the black-clothed men around fell.

"Who are you?"

The enchantress retreated several steps before steadying herself, staring in amazement at the white-clothed girl who had appeared in front of her. Who was this girl who could effortlessly repel her?

"You all disturbed my peace."

The girl in white casually combed her wet hair with her fingers, her fingers swept through it, and a gust of white mist dried her hair instantly. It fell softly on her shoulders and reached her ankles.

This scene was somewhat strange to those present. But when they looked at the girl's face, a series of saliva dripping sounds betrayed their thoughts.

"Boss, she's a beauty!"

"Boss, she's the prettiest girl I've ever seen!"

The underlings shared the same thoughts as their boss, but he was more rational than them. In this wild and remote place, where did such a stunning girl come from? No one knew.

"Your Highness!" Compared to the people from Wuji Palace, Longze Jingtian's men were calmer.

Headed by Lu Yuan, the three men protected Longze Jingtian, who was growing paler by the minute. Lu Yuan was anxious. Time was running out; they couldn't drag this on any longer.

"Are you Longze Jingtian's rescuer?"

Being a woman herself and seeing a girl prettier than her by a thousand-fold, the enchantress was not feeling pleasant. She kicked the entranced red-clothed man beside her and glared menacingly at the girl.

"Nope." The girl in white slightly smiled, prompting more gasps from the onlookers.

She regretted appearing with this beautiful face, for it would surely bring her trouble! She wondered why she didn't wear the "Water Moon Mirror" to hide her incredible beauty so as not to attract attention.

"Hmph! No matter who you are, since you're here, you must die!"

Just now, those gasps further irritated the enchantress. She considered herself beautiful, but she didn't expect that this white-clothed girl would steal the spotlight. Women's jealousy was like a vicious snake, coiling around the heart of the enchantress.

"Oh?" The girl in white found this amusing. She ignored everyone and walked over to the poisoned Lu Ye, feeding him a pill.

"I've heard that the enchantress from Wuji Palace is skilled with poison, but it seems not that impressive."

As she spoke, Lu Ye's face improved significantly, "Thank you, Miss, for saving me!" Lu Ye thanked her gratefully, struggling to stand beside Longze Jingtian with the others to protect him.

Seeing that this woman could counter her poison, the enchantress was shocked, "Who are you?"

"Me?" The girl in white frowned thoughtfully and then replied softly.

"People in Jianghu call me Du Xian'er."
