Chapter 44
After he was pushed out of the room and fell on the ground, the a.s.sa.s.sin immediately stood up, both hands held long knives ready to defend or attack.
"I doubt you're alone." The young miss of the Gao Manor, Gao Lan Mei. He is completely aware who's the woman in front of him should be but never was it mentioned on information that they have that she can fight!
He does not feel any cultivation spirit coming out from her but despite that, there is not even an ounce of fear as well.
She is holding a folded wooden umbrella. A small snakehead is peaking out of her right sleeve.
Anxiously thought, 'Did she used that to attack me earlier?' He was not able to completely block her attack. If her weapon is a sword or anything sharper, he is already b.l.o.o.d.y by now.
The young woman's face is scarred. The lanterns are bright enough to clearly see the multiple scars on her face. Her blue nightgown is hanging low from her shoulders, where marks of the scar are also seen.
If not with the current situation, he may consider being interested with her despite the current appearance. For him, a
The young woman could be one of the most beautiful he is able to see, if not with the scars that marred the enchanting face.
The information that they have is that she is heavily injured right now. No need to mention the injury, the only child of the minister should be a waste and only a pretty face.
"Who are you?" The a.s.sa.s.sin cannot help but ask. Did they get the wrong place and mistakenly offended an expert?
Gao Lan Mei smiled mockingly, "You interrupted my sleep, tried to kill me and you are now asking me who am I?" If this intruder mistakenly attacked her, how stupid is that?
She was attacked by this man with the intention to kill. The full black robe, as well as the black cloth that covers the face, confirms that he is a hired killer.
Glaring at the a.s.sa.s.sin, "If you attacked me by mistake, I will give you the honor to commit suicide!" No need to ask, there is no doubt that the target is her, but no enemies of her are aware that the previous Gao Lan Mei is already dead.
The mortals who hate Gao Lan Mei just because she is still breathing, cannot really sleep soundly as long as she is still alive!
In a better position to attack, she lifted the umbrella and desperately strike with the intent to kill.
The umbrella may not slice but she can always use the tip to hit the vital points to eventually show devastating results.
With every blow and a.s.sistance given by the snake who sneakily attacked when there is a chance, the a.s.sa.s.sin was pushed back.
He knows that the remaining two is still hidden looking for a chance to ambush. The surprise of her every attack cannot last long, he can see that she started to become exhausted.
Since, she is only fighting a young woman who does not have any spiritual energy, no need for them to help.
Patiently waited for her to waiver, at the moment Gao Lan Mei slipped unintentionally, missing her target point, he immediately took advantage and counter-attack to plunge the knife to her dainty neck.
