CHAPTER 408: CHAPTER 275: WOMEN, MUST NOT BE UNDERESTIMATED_2
It also scared away quite a few snakes, but soon Xiao Yu and his companion realized that the situation was far from optimistic because at the entrance there was..
"Originally, the venom from these little snakes could cause your deaths in a short time, but now it seems you prefer to be swallowed alive," Anayi’s voice was so pleasant to hear, yet her heart was as venomous as a viper’s. Right now, this sentence had definitely terrified Han Gao, who was bare-legged and wearing red underwear.
OH, NO!
That snake is huge!
Three pythons, each at least seven or eight meters long, slithered into the cave, but not all at once, as they were too thick to fit through the entrance... Line up, please!
Gong Jiu and his companions all turned pale!
Can we ask for a quick death?
In their fear, everyone could only pin their hopes on Sui Yi, whose combat power was off the charts...
Clang clang!
Blades and shadows!
Anayi wielded a crescent scimitar, which, surprisingly, was highly incongruent with her elfin beauty; her attacks were ruthless and sharp, aiming straight for the throat or the heart, her swordsmanship even exceeding Xiao Yu’s by a notch. Yet Xiao Yu’s blade style was that of the military, rather orthodox and organized, infused with a straightforward and righteous aura, nothing like those ruthless and deadly moves..
It was very much in line with the fighting style of a Loulan warrior.
However, Sui Yi’s sword...
Was as terrifying as ever!
Perfect block!
Inner Strength kept surging...
What was originally fifty years had already burst forth, impressively increasing to seventy years!
Anayi’s Inner Strength was still above Sui Yi’s, yet on swordsmanship and the sword itself, she seemed to be suppressed, making it hard to tell who had the upper hand for the moment.
"Your sword... is very powerful," Anayi suddenly said.
"Your blade isn’t bad either... You must be a descendant of Loulan nobility," Sui Yi’s unexpected response caused a slight change in Anayi’s expression. Although it was not obvious, Sui Yi caught it, suddenly exerting force in his wrist, speeding up the shadow of the blade, which fluttered like a flurry of snow with a chilling Sen Sen echo. In fact, those flashes were truly blind spots that Gong Jiu and the others, including Xiao Yu, were completely unable to see clearly.
Anayi’s face grew serious as well. Her scimitar picked up speed to block, but... Sui Yi’s right hand flipped at just the right moment, seizing a weakness and counterattacking with his sword!
Clang!
Block!
A sound as violent as an explosion resonated throughout the small room, piercingly sharp like noise cutting through the eardrum, hurting most onlookers’ ears...
In an instant...
Puff!
Anayi and Sui Yi were both knocked back, Anayi’s long legs tapping against the wall to spin and land.
As for Sui Yi’s Demon Que, it sliced through the air like a balance beam, spinning with his body to land, with an aura of fierce wind all around.
Face to face, Anayi placed her crescent scimitar in front of her with a smile, "It’s hard to tell who’s better... I didn’t expect your swordsmanship to be this formidable. But have you considered the lives of your companions? They seem to be at their limit."
It was a threat.
A call to surrender.
Sui Yi’s gaze flickered as he slowly rested his sword on the ground, frowning, "Perhaps we need a trade."
A trade?
Anayi’s eyebrows shot up, but then she heard Gao Yi, who was seriously injured in the corner, scream sharply, "Young Master, be careful!!!"
Thud!
A scimitar pressed against Anayi’s lower back, and her neck was gripped by a beautiful hand adorned with a high-priced bracelet.
The finger’s nail on the index was longer than the others, pressing against the soft skin in front of her Adam’s apple...
A light slice would be enough to open Anayi’s throat.
"Woman, never underestimate anyone... especially someone who looks like me,"
"And, you’re not the only one who can play with poisons... I’ve got some hidden under my nails too~~"
As for what Flower Demon loathed most in her life, it was undoubtedly being bullied by Gong Jiu because of her frailty as a child, and later, when she became stunningly beautiful... being disregarded and underestimated.
Anyway, what Sui Yi ignored was her Combat Power, and Flower Demon knew all too well that the youngest girl of this age never really took others seriously, so the matter of underestimating or disregarding wasn’t even an issue. But if she did take someone seriously, any underestimation or disregard was merely surface-level slyness.
Just like when she said you guys are too weak... yet she silently spent millions to buy equipment to ensure their safety and took the risk to save them...
This is the unspoken understanding of "I know, you know."
But Anayi was different; this woman had underestimated them all from the very beginning, including herself...
Liv had manipulated them like chess pieces...
That feeling was very unpleasant!
Especially for Flower Demon, who had a special predilection for treating beautiful women as prey, felt deeply insulted.
So, her nail pressed against Anayi’s throat.
With a smile, "Now, bring out the antidote."
Along with this came Gong Jiu’s sudden realization and shout.
"Damn it! Flower Fairy, you used to use that fingernail to peel oranges for me!"
"Pigs are immune, you don’t have to worry,"
"..."
——————
The standoff, and the situation suddenly reversed.
The three pythons stopped moving, all of the snakes ceased to move, because Gao Yi managed to command these snakes with a dying ventriloquist effort, though clearly it was not as effortless as Anayi’s.
In the quiet, Anayi was looking at Sui Yi...
"When you were checking her body just now, you had already neutralized her poison, hadn’t you... Choosing the one who appeared to be the most seriously injured as a decoy, and deliberately claiming that you could not detoxify to lower my guard... Sui Yi, you’re more troublesome than I thought," Anayi said.
Sui Yi tilted his head, and the Demon Que lightly scraped the ground, making a sound.
She said, "I didn’t lie earlier... Indeed, I could not neutralize the poison, the problem is she was never poisoned in the first place."
