Chapter 23

"Speaking nonsense, I see you're looking to die!"

The man in black felt like he had been tricked. He drew his sword and stabbed towards Su Mo.

Su Mo was startled and rolled on the ground.

So irritable, too irritable! Even more irritable than her, Su Mo!

"If you kill me, you won't be able to catch Wu Ying!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a sword flew down from the roof and stuck right in front of the man in black's feet.

Tiles fell down, smashing all over the ground.

"I'm here," Wu Ying's low voice came from the roof.

Seeing this, the man in black immediately went forward, pulled Su Mo up, and put his sword against her neck.

Wu Ying flew down and landed in front of the two men in black.

"Let her go! Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving our sect face!" Wu Ying said coldly.

"Hmph, it seems this woman is quite important to you! I'll let her go. Take this." The man in black took out a pill from his clothes, "Eat it."

Poison? Su Mo couldn't help but want to roll her eyes. Why do they always like such shameless methods?

Wu Ying looked at the pill in the man's hand and said expressionlessly, "What if I don't eat it?"

"Then you can wait to collect your lover's corpse!" The man in black moved his sword a little, and Su Mo frowned, already feeling a small cut on her neck.

Su Mo looked at Wu Ying, and her eyes regained their calmness. "Go, don't worry about me. If they poison me, I'll die even if you save me."

Maybe she would return home if she died. She didn't want anyone else to sacrifice themselves to save her either. She felt like she wouldn't be able to repay such a debt.

"Miss, what we just gave you wasn't poison," the man in black said.

Su Mo was surprised. "What? Not poison? Then what did you give me?"

The two didn't speak again and looked at Wu Ying, "Are you going to eat it or not?" "Hey, let me tell you the truth. I'm not Wu Ying's lover at all. We've only known each other for two or three days. I was just fooling you earlier. Using me to threaten him is probably a mistake!"

As long as she didn't make up stories, her logic was still clear.

"Girl, you've fooled us again and again. Do you think we'll still believe you?"

"......"

In short, they wouldn't believe the truth but would only believe made up stories. Su Mo felt that martial artists probably weren't very smart.

Wu Ying's eyes flickered as he looked at Su Mo. He stepped forward and took the pill from the man in black's hand, swallowing it without any hesitation.

"Can you let her go now?"

The two men in black looked at each other, then pushed Su Mo over.

The sword left her neck. Su Mo kicked back her legs and kicked the man in black under the chin. He stumbled back a few steps.

"Hurry and spit it out! You really swallowed it?" Su Mo hurriedly grabbed Wu Ying.

Wu Ying looked at her. "Hurry up and go!"

"Don't joke with me. How could I possibly leave you alone?" Su Mo took out her whip. "I think the two of us should be able to beat them."

Wu Ying grabbed Su Mo, wanting to fly onto the roof. The man in black laughed and didn't give them a chance to escape. He immediately rushed at them with his sword.

These two men weren't Su Mo and Wu Ying's match, but after a few moves, Su Mo started feeling a little wrong with her body.

She tugged at her collar and gasped for air. "Why is it so hot?"

Su Mo looked at Wu Ying and saw his forehead was also covered in a thin layer of sweat.

"Oh? The drug is taking effect!" The man in black laughed. "Wu Ying, we know you're immune to hundreds of poisons, but this aphrodisiac isn't poison, hahahaha."

"What? Aphrodisiac?!" Su Mo immediately bristled. "Despicable and shameless! What's wrong with you? Giving me this kind of drug?!"

"Originally if you didn't fight, the drug wouldn't have taken effect so quickly. But now, I guess it's in full effect! Hahahaha."

The man in black's eyes flashed coldly. "Wu Ying, today is the day you die!"

Su Mo felt like there were countless ants gnawing inside her body. It didn't hurt but was extremely uncomfortable. She simply couldn't concentrate, causing her to get injured by the man in black several times.

"Pfft!" Su Mo was kicked in the chest by the man in black and crashed into a table. She spat out a mouthful of blood.

"It hurts so much..." She had almost never been so seriously injured before. Experiencing such a beating for the first time, it really hurt a lot.

The man in black stabbed his sword towards her. Seeing this, Wu Ying flew forward to block the sword with his own. He pulled Su Mo up and anxiously asked, "How are you?"

Su Mo panted for breath, her eyes somewhat blurred as she shrank into Wu Ying's arms. "So uncomfortable..."

Wu Ying's eyebrows twisted as his heart raced abnormally fast. He breathed heavily, looking at Su Mo's flushed lips, unable to stop his throat from moving.

It felt like there was a fire burning inside his body. He didn't even seem to notice the willow leaf dart the man in black threw over.

"Watch out!" Su Mo flipped over and lay on Wu Ying's shoulder. The willow leaf dart pierced into her shoulder.

Wu Ying's eyes flashed coldly. It felt like his heart had been stabbed. "Miss Su!"

A burst of anger welled up and he grabbed his sword, flying over. He forcefully circulated his internal energy and the originally hard sword edge suddenly softened. The man in black didn't have time to dodge before the sword wrapped around his arm. With a flick of his wrist, in just a moment, the man in black's entire arm was severed.

"Ahhhh!" The man in black fell down, rolling on the ground in pain.

The other man in black was shocked and immediately went to check on his brother.

Wu Ying leaned on his body to stand up. Taking advantage of the man in black's lapse in vigilance, he hugged Su Mo and flew onto the roof.

The man in black wanted to chase them but was stopped by his injured brother grabbing his leg. "Brother, save me..."

The man in black hesitated before ultimately not chasing them.

He really hadn't expected Wu Ying to still be so fierce even after being drugged.

...

By now, it was almost dawn.

Su Mo realized they were outside the city now, not inside Lan City.

Wu Ying's scent kept wafting into her nose, making her unconsciously keep rubbing against his chest.

Wu Ying's eyebrows twisted and he leaned her against a big tree.

"Wu Ying...we'll die if we don't do it, right?" Su Mo panted, feeling like her whole body was a furnace.

Wu Ying looked at her, his voice somewhat hoarse. "There's poison on this dart. If I don't suck it out, you'll definitely die."

"Ah? My luck is just too bad..."

Wu Ying paused. "Miss Su, please forgive me."

As he spoke, he pulled down the clothes on Su Mo's shoulder. Before Su Mo could react, his lips were already pressed against her skin.

The sensation of their skin touching made Su Mo involuntarily shiver. "What are you doing?"

Wu Ying didn't speak, sucking out the poisoned blood mouthful by mouthful.
