Chapter 196: Dead End and the Matchmaker
Dead End, a place of no return?
This phrase was clearly directed at him.
Since leaving the Zhou family, Xiao Yun felt something was off. Waves of dizziness washed over him, and he occasionally saw illusions of black flowers swirling before his eyes...
What shocked him the most was that at that moment, his Spiritual Sense had failed him; he could no longer see further than an ordinary person.
Deep down, he knew he had been poisoned.
How could he have been poisoned?
As he stepped back into Dead End, his heart sank. Could it be...
"Master, you have a call..." The ringtone of his phone abruptly broke his thoughts.
The urgent ringtone snapped Xiao Yun back to reality. As he reached for his phone, his gaze darted around. He pressed the answer button, and a harsh voice came from the other end: "Hello, Xiao Yun. When we arrived at the Zhou family, we found Zhou Jinian severely injured, his body turning green and frothing at the mouth. He died on the way to the hospital. Did you kill him? Hello... why aren’t you speaking? Where are you..."
Zhou Jinian is dead?
He had clearly held back when he attacked; how could he possibly be dead?
Uh, Ouyang Bing suspects I killed him?
Xiao Yun didn’t respond to her, ending the call and slowly putting his phone into his pocket. At that moment, he didn’t know how to explain things to her.
He hadn’t killed him, but he certainly couldn’t deny his involvement.
But in that instant, he already knew how Zhou Jinian had died.
It was a trap, one that the other party had set long ago, just waiting for him to fall into it... By the time he realized this, it was too late.
"Brother, who called you?" Feng Xia asked anxiously.
If Feng Xia were to find out that it was Ouyang Bing who called, she would definitely snatch the phone away and tell her that they were now surrounded by a group of unidentified individuals.
The surrounding black mist grew thicker, but he could clearly see shadows moving within it, each holding a short knife, gradually closing in on them with the rolling fog.
Xiao Yun could guess what Feng Xia was thinking at that moment; in extreme danger, she would think of Ouyang Bing and the Criminal Investigation Team. However, he knew deep down that even if the Criminal Investigation Team arrived, they would not be a match for these hidden figures and might even hinder his own actions.
What he needed right now was calmness. He had to use the Heavenly Spirit Essence within him to expel the toxins invading his body.
"Sister, that was a friend's call. Don't be afraid; just stay close to me. As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you!" Xiao Yun patted her shoulder and smiled lightly.
He was not afraid of these people; he believed in his ability to deal with them. He quietly circulated his true energy, preparing to unleash wind blades and fireballs made from a small bell when those people got closer, which would eliminate them in an instant.
But he never expected that just as he was about to use his true energy to prepare the wind blades, he suddenly found that all of his abilities had vanished, just like his Spiritual Sense.
What the hell is going on?
What kind of poison did I get hit with? Why is it so overpowering?
It seemed like things were looking grim. Xiao Yun felt a chill rise from his feet and spread throughout his body...
Xiao Yun knew that it was impossible to expel all the toxins from his body using Heavenly Spirit Essence in such a short time; his only option was to control his consciousness.
Ding!
At that moment, a sword appeared in Xiao Yun's hand.
That was the Moonlight Sword taken from Song Tianxing.
The cold, sharp sword light surged with a torrent of killing intent. He did not want a bloody scene to unfold under this clear sky, but in a desperate situation, to protect himself and the woman nestled beside him, he did not mind unleashing a massacre.
With the sword in hand, the clouds shifted in all directions. Who in the world could be called a hero?
...
"Hahaha... Dead End, no return for you, Xiao Yun. Today is your death day before my powerful Red Maiden Black Fiend Formation!"
As that strange female voice echoed again, the swirling black mist quickly transformed into moving figures. They were cloaked in black robes and wielded short knives; among them were several elegantly dressed women in red skirts, each holding gleaming short blades.
At the forefront stood a tall woman in an evening gown, barehanded, her face cold as ice, yet her hands tightly gripped two small triangular red flags.
The sharp short knives were as thin as cicada wings and transparent as mirrors. With one knife in hand, they exuded a chilling aura.
Xiao Yun recognized it at a glance; that was the Blood Willow Leaf Blade.
This type of knife was less than a foot long, and when it pierced and withdrew, not a drop of blood would flow from the victim's body, nor would any wound be visible.
Chop, chop, chop...
The opponents surrounded Xiao Yun and Feng Xia from all sides. Their footsteps were synchronized, their formation orderly, advancing step by step.
They approached not too quickly; some even moved slowly, lifting their legs high before letting them fall. The sound of their feet hitting the ground resembled the rustling of locusts passing through, as if they were not in a hurry to attack Xiao Yun but rather aimed to overwhelm him with their imposing presence first.
They drew closer and closer. Even though Feng Xia was a Criminal Investigation Team member fresh from police academy training, she had never witnessed such a scene. Her face turned pale as she clenched her delicate fists, thinking that when those people got close enough, she would have no choice but to fight to the death!
"Sister, stay calm..." Xiao Yun sensed the trembling of the woman beside him. But just as he spoke, his pupils suddenly contracted. How could this be possible?
Among those elegantly dressed women in red skirts stood several familiar faces before him: Cold as Ice, Liu Ziyan, Han Xing, Zhu Wanyu, Fang Xiaolu, Luo Mingyue...
How did they end up in this Red Maiden Black Fiend Formation?
Looking at their dazed expressions, yet agile movements, their eyes filled with killing intent, staring at him like knives, it was clear that their every move seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force.
The problem was, among these women he was familiar with, some of them didn't know martial arts at all. For instance, Zhu Wanyu, Fang Xiaolu, and Luo Mingyue were not women who wielded weapons; their hands, soft as spring onions, were only suited to be held by men.
What kind of magic could make them so frenzied?
Mind Control Technique?
Xiao Yun first thought of this spell.
There are many types of Mind Control Technique. Some involve planting a Mind Control Cicada on the target, allowing remote control regardless of distance; others use a cursed object to control the target's actions within a certain range...
Clearly, they belonged to the second category of controlled individuals.
Even if the controlled person is an ordinary individual, as long as the user of the Mind Control Technique is skilled enough, they can secretly utilize it to push the controlled person's physical abilities to the limit to deal with the intended target.
Matchmaker, my women...
Damn!
Using my women to kill me, how malicious is the opponent!
For the first time in his life, Xiao Yun felt fear; his hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble.
Although he had a sword in hand, he couldn't use it to harm the women he loved.
What should he do?
At this moment, what should he do?
At the brink of life and death, do I really have to use the blood of the woman I love to cleanse my Moonlight Sword?
From a distance, I saw Xiao Yun's face suddenly stiffen, and a cruel and triumphant smile flashed across Gu Tianfeng's face.
He raised the red triangular flags in his hands high and shouted, "Time's up, execute Xiao Yun!"
With that shout, he swiftly retreated, allowing those surrounding him to rush forward.
"Execute Xiao Yun!"
"Execute Xiao Yun!"
"Execute Xiao Yun!"
Thunderous roars echoed from the Red Maiden Black Fiend Formation.
A graceful woman in a red dress and short skirt, along with men in black robes, howled like a raging wind, charging toward Xiao Se Yun from all corners.
A bloody massacre began at Dead End... The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
