005: Let This Woman Detoxify the Master

In an instant, a dozen men in black had completely surrounded the already injured Gong Ruyi.

Gong Ruyi’s face was deathly pale. She had long heard that Ming Zun’s subordinates were all highly skilled in martial arts, especially several of his personal guards who possessed extraordinary abilities. Today’s battle had made her realize this profoundly, and she felt she was in grave danger.

Seeing the leader of the black-clad men draw his sword toward her, Gong Ruyi spoke hurriedly, "Wait! The Lord has been struck by Fragrance-Inducing Powder, I can deco—" Before her words could even fall, she saw the man's sword sweep toward her, and in an instant, her head flew off...

The Master said to kill; they only cared about killing.

"Ah...!" Sheng Luo, who had originally crouched down and crawled a long distance away, suddenly saw a bloody head land right beside her hand, splashing her with blood. Gong Ruyi’s eyes, wide and unclosed in death, stared straight at her. Forget about concealing her aura—her stomach churned so violently that she couldn't help but scream!

"Take her," Ming Zun spoke, his voice once again cold and indifferent.

Swish, swish! A dozen figures flew toward Sheng Luo, and a dozen blades were suddenly pressed against her neck.

The Master said to take her, not to kill her; they only cared about taking her.

"Heroes! Everyone, heroes! Spare my life! Blades and swords have no eyes, please, take it easy, take it easy!" One had to ask: with a dozen blood-stained swords pressed against a weak woman's neck, who could possibly maintain their composure? Thus, Sheng Luo’s words were extremely sycophantic, playing the role of a shameless, begging villain from a period drama to perfection.

No one paid attention to her groveling; the dozen swords simply retracted in unison.

Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, her collar was grabbed and she was tossed. She felt herself tracing a perfectly sublime arc through the air before landing heavily once again at someone's feet.

Damn it! Are they treating her like a ball to be thrown?! This was the limit! If she, Sheng Luo, didn't show her teeth, they would just keep bullying her until they were addicted!

Gritting her teeth against the pain that felt as if her entire body were falling apart, Sheng Luo suddenly jumped up. Her blood-stained hand had not yet reached the tip of the handsome man's nose when she felt something poke her back. Unable to move or speak, she froze!

It was an acupoint strike!

She really wanted to curse someone through clenched teeth right now, but that bastard who struck her acupoint wouldn't give her the right to close her mouth! She was left with her mouth agape, wanting to curse but unable to make a sound!

But that wasn't even the thing that made her want to curse the heavens most!

"To dare point a finger at the Master—this hand is better off gone!" The leading guard who had tossed her raised his sword and severed her raised hand in one motion!

'Ah...' Damn it, she was screaming internally!

Just as she was beginning to believe she was about to lose the arm of this incredibly handsome man, a jade-like hand suddenly rose, parrying the sword that was hacking at her hand. The movement was extremely fast, passing in the blink of an eye.

Wow! Sheng Luo's eyes immediately shone with admiration as she looked at the handsome man who had blocked the sword for her. That gaze carried the spirit of flattery to its highest peak!

Handsome man, handsome man! It was this girl's fault for saying you looked fierce and menacing earlier!

You saved this girl's arm today; I shall never forget this kindness! As long as you no longer wish to kill me, the grudge of you trying to kill me earlier is settled, and I shall never seek revenge against you!

"Master!" Seeing Ming Zun intercept the sword, the leading man immediately withdrew his blade in shock. Seeing that the Lord's clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat, he recalled Gong Ruyi's words, and his expression changed.

"It was my transgression! We shall immediately find a quiet place to let this woman detoxify the Master." As he spoke, he stepped forward to support Ming Zun, whose body was burning hot and who could barely stand, completely failing to notice that Sheng Luo's face had turned a certain "way" because of his words.
