Nie Linglong’s expression was abnormally dark. Thankfully, Nameless Nie was an idiot or else it would truly be a nightmare. She wanted to see how much longer Nameless Nie could hop around!
In a place like the Independent State, martial strength was everything.
A person had to capture the ringleader first in order to capture all his followers, so after taking care of the small fry, Nameless Nie strode straight toward Nie Linglong.
“Your life—it’s mine,” Nameless Nie announced coldly.
“I don’t think so,” Nie Linglong aloofly replied.
“Try me.”
Nie Linglong’s lips turned up into an icy smile, her eyes shining coldly as she met Nameless Nie’s eyes. “Sure, you can come and try.”
Nameless Nie remained expressionless. His figure disappeared from his spot like a flash of lightning and he reappeared next to Nie Linglong in a few seconds.
He struck with his palm so fast that he stole air from the observers.
Even Nie Linglong couldn’t help the surprise on her face.
However, seconds before Nameless Nie’s palm made contact with Nie Linglong, his expression shifted and he staggered a step as he clutched his stomach.
Ye Wanwan’s expression turned peculiar.
“Brother?” Ye Wanwan questioned softly.
Nameless Nie didn’t answer.
“Brother, what’s wrong?” Detecting something amiss, Ye Wanwan hastily rushed forward, an ominous feeling rising in her heart.
“Stop. Don’t come over here.” Nameless Nie glanced at Ye Wanwan.
Before Ye Wanwan could respond…
“PAH!”
A fountain of blood suddenly sprayed from Nameless Nie’s mouth a second later.
When the blood splattered onto the ground, it was black.
Ye Wanwan stared at the puddle of blood, her expression shifting. “You were poisoned?!”
Nameless Nie wiped the blood from his mouth, his brows locked together. “Poisoned…? When…?”
Ye Wanwan was stunned. “You don’t even know when you got poisoned?!”
Nameless Nie gritted his teeth and ran his mind over past events. “It couldn’t be that iced pear juice, right…? It shouldn’t be… No way…”
“What iced pear juice?” Ye Wanwan asked anxiously.
“On my way back, a miss offered me some iced pear juice for free, so I drank a cup…”
Ye Wanwan: “…”
Ye Wanwan’s lips twitched. She couldn’t say anything after half a day as she stared at Nameless Nie. What else could she say?
He clearly knew about Nie Linglong’s wild ambitions but didn’t know to take precautions. Just what was inside his head?
However, Ye Wanwan had no presence of mind to blame Nameless Nie since her heart was brimming with worry. It didn’t require any thought to know this was Nie Linglong’s doing. No wonder Nie Linglong dared to come here and eliminate her and Nameless Nie.
Watching Nameless Nie’s quickly paling face, Ye Wanwan felt her heart burning with anxiety. “Just what kind of poison is it?”
Nie Linglong airily said, “It’s withered butterfly, a poison that will kill its victim within half an hour without fail.”
“Half an hour…” The color drained from Ye Wanwan’s face.
Within moments of Nie Linglong speaking, more black blood dribbled from the corner of Nameless Nie’s mouth, and his figure toppled.
“Brother!” Ye Wanwan caught Nameless Nie at once.
“It’s fine. My body is in good shape, so this little poison is nothing. Leave first; I’ll handle it.”
Nameless Nie said as he looked at Ye Wanwan with meaning.
“Bullsh*t!”
Ye Wanwan held Nameless Nie by his arm. No matter how good his body was, he couldn’t fight this kind of lethal poison.
“Forget about me. I… am fine!”
Nameless Nie frowned deeply at Ye Wanwan. “Believe in me. Leave first!”
