"No, I won't be with you. Get out of here now!"
Just as Ito Yuichi was filled with anticipation, Xiao Tian Huizi suddenly shook her head frantically and shouted.
"Huizi, you know the strength of our Ito family. This Chinese person is no match for us!"
Hearing this, Ito Yuichi's eyes flashed with anger again. He frowned and added.
"We're no match, but I just don't like him!"
Xiao Tian Huizi lowered her head. Although her spirit had clearly weakened, her gaze remained firm.
Indeed, Er Zhu's strength was no comparison to the Ito family, especially under these circumstances!
But she couldn't bring herself to be with someone she didn't love!
"Is that so? Then let's die together!"
Seeing Xiao Tian Huizi's resolute stance, Ito Yuichi was at the peak of his rage. He waved his hand, and all the archers prepared themselves.
"Er Zhu, run!"
As the poisoned arrows were about to be loosed, Xiao Tian Huizi shoved Er Zhu hard, stepping in front of him as if ready to face death.
"A Chinese person is indeed a coward, letting a woman protect him!"
Xiao Tian Huizi's action further enraged Ito Yuichi. He sneered and waved at the archers again.
Instantly, poisoned arrows rained down like a storm. Xiao Tian Huizi, however, waited with firm resolve.
Though she couldn't be with Er Zhu, it wasn't a bad idea to make him remember her forever in this way.
Huh?
As she awaited death, she felt no pain. When she opened her eyes, she saw Er Zhu standing in front of her, though she didn't know when he had moved there.
His chest was riddled with poisoned arrows!
"Hahaha, die! The poison on these arrows is the most potent in my Wa Guo!"
Seeing Er Zhu covered in arrows, Ito Yuichi laughed heartily, his eyes filled with triumph.
Yet, Er Zhu remained calm, not a drop of blood on his person!
This was because he was hit by the arrows not because he couldn't resist, but because the potent poison could increase the spiritual energy within him!
This was something he had just cultivated last night, and he had been worried about not having an opportunity to test it. He hadn't expected the perfect chance to arrive!
Lying on the ground, Er Zhu felt the potent poison slowly permeating his body, while the spiritual energy within him continuously increased!
Not only that, but the Yuan Pei Pearl in his dantian also gradually grew larger, becoming the size of a chestnut in an instant!
Of course, these were sensations only Er Zhu could perceive. To outsiders, Er Zhu appeared to be on the verge of death.
"Er Zhu, sob... I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well!"
Xiao Tian Huizi, unaware of the truth, ran to Er Zhu with tears streaming down her face, holding him in her arms with heartache.
She had anticipated danger for Er Zhu in Wa Guo, but she hadn't expected it to be so perilous!
If she had known, she would never have brought Er Zhu to Wa Guo, even at the cost of her life!
"Loose arrows!"
Seeing Xiao Tian Huizi's pained expression, Ito Yuichi's face grew even more sinister. He waved his hand again.
"No, I beg you, don't kill him! As long as you spare him, I'll do anything you want!"
Hearing this, Xiao Tian Huizi immediately knelt on the ground, her eyes filled with tears as she pleaded with Ito Yuichi.
Er Zhu was already on the brink of death. Another volley of arrows would undoubtedly kill him!
But she couldn't let him die!
"Fine, I agree! As long as you become mine, I won't lay a hand on him!"
Seeing his goddess kneel before him for another man, Ito Yuichi was furious to the point of exploding.
He waved his hand, and the archers quickly retreated. The vast dense forest was left with only the three of them.
"Huizi, you don't have to. He's the one who will die."
Seeing Xiao Tian Huizi slowly stand up, Er Zhu grabbed her and replied weakly.
If it weren't for the current period of spiritual energy gathering that left his body weak, he would have slapped this disgusting man to death long ago!
Er Zhu looked indifferently at Ito Yuichi, who stood opposite him with a smug expression. The speed at which strength gathered within him was constantly increasing.
"Er Zhu, please stop talking. This is something I must do!"
Xiao Tian Huizi, still unaware of the truth, thought Er Zhu was comforting her. She gave him a deep look and walked towards Ito Yuichi.
Her buttons were slowly undone. Looking at the smug man before her, Xiao Tian Huizi's eyes were filled with rage!
But despite her anger, she could only move forward, because she wanted Er Zhu to live!
"Huizi, I knew you would be mine!"
Seeing Xiao Tian Huizi getting closer, Ito Yuichi was incredibly excited. He said this while eagerly stepping forward to meet her.
*Thud!*
As her heavy coat fell to the ground, Ito Yuichi had just run forward. He grabbed Xiao Tian Huizi in his arms, his heart filled with immense excitement!
His goddess was finally his, and to do this in front of the person she liked, he found the thought thrilling!
"Chinese fellow, open your eyes and watch carefully. Huizi belongs only to me!"
*Swish...*
Before Ito Yuichi could finish speaking, a blur of motion flew towards him. Before he could react, he felt a warm stream surge from his neck.
"Ah!"
Xiao Tian Huizi let out a scream upon seeing the gushing blood. She suddenly pushed Ito Yuichi away, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at the scene before her.
Did Er Zhu kill Ito Yuichi?
How was this possible? He had been hit by poisoned arrows!
"Your poison can't hurt me at all!"
Er Zhu looked at Ito Yuichi, who was pointing at him in shock, and said indifferently, wiping the blood from the Ming Hong saber.
"Impossible!"
Ito Yuichi clutched his neck and spat out these three words with all his remaining strength. He was utterly shocked!
How could a poison developed by the top noble family of Wa Guo not be lethal!
Moreover, this Chinese person had been hit by so many poisoned arrows!
But the blood constantly flowing from his neck proved to him again and again that this Chinese person was indeed not poisoned!
Not only was he not poisoned, but his complexion also seemed better than before!
Ito Yuichi's mind was a whirlwind of questions, but he no longer had the chance to ask.
"Er Zhu, you... he..."
Without sparing Ito Yuichi a glance, Xiao Tian Huizi looked at Er Zhu, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.
Didn't Er Zhu say he only knew a little about martial arts? Yet he had killed Ito Yuichi without her even reacting!
If this was considered "a little," then what kind of person could be called a master of martial arts!
And what about the potent poison? One had to know that the Ito family was a renowned medical family in Wa Guo. Their developed poisons couldn't possibly be ineffective!
"Oh, I knew this trip would be dangerous, so I brought many antidote pills before coming."
Seeing Xiao Tian Huizi's bewildered expression, Er Zhu suddenly thought of something. As he spoke, he took out a bag of black pills from his pocket.
"Er Zhu, you are too modest. Your strength far surpasses that of a martial arts master!"
Seeing the pills, Xiao Tian Huizi's doubts were half-dispelled. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she excitedly hugged Er Zhu's neck.
