Chapter 1034: Chapter 65 The Secret of the Catwoman_2
Yan Shi whispered, "When necessary, strive to summon the dragon, I don’t believe these people won’t fear the dragon’s attack."
Ah Dai’s heart stirred, recalling the Sheng Xie contained within the Dragon’s Blood, and his confidence surged. Horton sneered as he looked at them and said, "Perhaps, you possess great strength, but what use is it if you can’t utilize your abilities? Haven’t you realized that you’ve been poisoned?"
Ah Dai thought of the deadly poison in tonight’s dinner and scoffed, "Have we really been poisoned? I don’t feel it."
Horton looked up at the sky and said indifferently, "Well, the time is about right. Do you think just because you didn’t use those dinnerware tonight, you wouldn’t be poisoned? In Dark City, there’s nothing Viscount Horton can’t do. How could young people like you contend with me? I heard every word of your conversation in the room earlier. Indeed, you were smart not to use those utensils. But, about the fruits and pastries you ate earlier in the Noble Hall, I’m afraid you didn’t check those carefully, did you? Actually, even without poisoning, you wouldn’t be a match for my skilled subordinates. Even if you really summoned the dragon, I doubt it would be of much use. However, I am always cautious in my actions, never leaving any opportunity for my enemies. Ah—, there are so many tasteless and odorless deadly poisons now, any one of which is not easy to detect. I think by now, you should be feeling a bit cold."
Ah Dai and the two others were greatly shaken by his words. As soon as Horton finished speaking, Ah Dai suddenly felt the silver body in his Dantian tremble slightly, as if a cold current instantly spread throughout his body, making him shiver uncontrollably. He was shocked and quickly circulated the True Qi within his body, trying to dispel the chill. Just then, five sharp forces suddenly struck from behind. With no time to react, Ah Dai’s body was flung into the air, as an excruciating energy instantly spread through him. With a retch, he spewed blood in midair. Five sharp streams of fighting energy had pierced into his body from his back, ravaging his meridians. The radiance of his Silver body shone brightly, just managing to neutralize the sharp fighting energy, but the poison inside Ah Dai’s body acted even more violently due to the use of fighting energy, with waves of cold incessantly assaulting his body and spirit.
Crash, Ah Dai slammed into a nearby wall, his body slowly slumped down, the powerful attack rendering his body limp. The life-sustaining True Qi within him was nearly scattered, and the form of the silver body was already somewhat blurry. Strong waves of cold kept rising, afflicting his meridians. Blood continuously streamed from the corner of his mouth as he looked towards where he had been standing just moments ago. There stood the Cat Woman who had been feigning sleep earlier, now frowning as she looked at her clawed hands.
Yan Shi and Yan Li were both pale with anger, while the fairy girl was so terrified that she stood still as a statue, shaking slightly. Horton and the black-clothed men did not move; Horton walked forward with a smile, bowing slightly to the Cat Woman, "Miss Mimi, you’ve worked hard."
Mimi, whose timid expression had long vanished, smiled seductively, "Lord Viscount, please don’t mention it. I should apologize to you on behalf of the Sect Hierarch for Black Demon’s previous rudeness. However, this kid is quite foolish to have trusted me like that. But I’m curious, my full-blown strike just now should have been able to penetrate his body. It seemed as though something blocked it. It looks like getting a heart to eat is still quite difficult!"
"Ah—"A roar erupted as Yan Shi and Yan Li simultaneously swung their weapons at Cat Woman Mimi and Horton. Mimi scoffed haughtily, her delicate body suddenly becoming a blur of motion. The Yan brothers, impulsive in their actions and their powers not fully expressed due to the restriction of the internal cold poison, saw only a blur before receiving heavy blows to their chests and staggered back with blood spraying.
Cat Woman Mimi still stood in her original spot, caressing her claws, frowning, "Their skins are quite tough! My claws couldn’t pierce through. But, with them exerting their strength like that, I’m afraid the poison of the Cold Condensation Frost will act even faster now. Ah—, they really don’t know whether they’re dead or alive."
Ah Dai’s face was filled with disbelief, staring blankly at the Cat Woman and muttering, "Why? Why would you attack us?" Even now, he couldn’t understand why the Cat Woman’s behavior had changed so drastically from before.
The Cat Woman revealed a wicked smile, exposing a pair of small fangs, "Ah—, the only fault is that you were too naive. But your power is indeed impressive; even now, I find the True Qi you gave me quite refreshing. In fact, from the beginning, you’ve been part of Viscount Horton’s calculations. Lord Horton, perhaps you should explain it to them."
Viscount Horton treated the Cat Woman Mimi with great respect and said with a smile, "Magician sir, I think, with your severe injuries, you probably won’t have the chance to summon the dragon anymore. Now, we can have a proper talk. I know you are very capable, not only strong in your powers but also able to summon dragons. This is the first time I’ve heard of the existence of a Summoning Mage."
Ah Dai said hatefully, "What do you want?" He kept gathering the True Qi from his Dantian, but the poison of the Cold Condensation Frost continuously assaulted his Dantian’s True Qi. It seemed to be a kind of poison that dissipated powers. The Yan brothers’ condition was also bad, having collapsed to the ground after the Cat Woman’s heavy strike, their faces ashen, seemingly unable to get up.
