Chapter 1038: Chapter 66 Golden Swallowing
Horton had already intended to retreat and without any hesitation, he fled without looking back. The Cat Woman snorted, her body transforming into a streak of green lightning, continually circling around Sheng Xie. Although Sheng Xie was not slow, he still couldn’t catch this Cat Man who excelled in speed. The Cat Woman occasionally darted behind Sheng Xie to attack once or twice, but would retreat as soon as she touched him. Although she couldn’t harm Sheng Xie, she still caused him to roar furiously, forgetting everything else as he desperately chased and attacked her. The Cat Woman secretly rejoiced in her heart, her current task was to entangle this powerful dragon until reinforcements arrived.
Suddenly, from behind the alley where Ah Dai was located, a man dressed in black appeared. This man was the most intelligent among Horton’s subordinates. He secretly made his way to behind the alley, climbed over the wall, and snuck towards Ah Dai. Ah Dai was concentrating on the situation in the arena while continuously trying to expel the poison, completely unaware of what was behind him. Yan Shi and his brothers were all fiercely struggling against the Cold Condensation Frost. The Fairy, upon witnessing the appearance of the two Giant Dragons, was already petrified. The Bone Dragon, although mighty, was not as alert as Sheng Xie. It was resisting the attacks of the men in black while keeping an eye on its leader chasing after the young girl. The man in black had approached within five meters behind Ah Dai. He slowly raised the dagger in his hand, without making a sound, pounced on Ah Dai like lightning, aiming for the artery in Ah Dai’s neck. Ah Dai suddenly felt a chilling breeze on his body, but being in the midst of driving out the poison, he had no time to react. As he turned his head, he saw the glint of the blade arriving in front of his face. Ah Dai closed his eyes, thinking to himself, "It’s over. I thought the power of the two Giant Dragons had given me a chance to survive, but I never expected to die here."
At this critical moment, a faint white figure appeared, suddenly descending from above, hitting Horton’s subordinate squarely, the dagger in his hand piercing through the man’s throat. When the man in black died, his blade was less than a foot away from Ah Dai, and Ah Dai could clearly feel the chill emanating from the blade. Blood sprayed out, making Ah Dai’s already red magic robe even more vivid. Ah Dai looked towards the white figure that had saved his life and exclaimed in shock, "It’s you." It was none other than Ice, whom Ah Dai had met just a day ago at the Dark Extravagance Nightclub.
Ice’s face remained cold, but a hint of joy could be seen in her eyes, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief. She took out three medicine pills from her bosom and handed them to Ah Dai, "Quick, take one, this is the antidote."
Ah Dai was taken aback, looking at Ice’s anxious gaze, he accepted the medicine pill and resolutely swallowed one. In his eyes, Ice was now so trustworthy. Driven by the force of his True Qi, a warm current rose from his Dantian, continuously driving out the potent poison of the Cold Condensation Frost. The chill on Ah Dai’s body gradually dissipated. Ah Dai looked at Ice sincerely, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you."
A faint smile appeared on Ice’s beautiful face, Ah Dai’s trust warming her heart. "Quickly help your friends detoxify. Then leave this place as soon as possible, master..., Horton will not let you go easily. Only by leaving Dark City can you be safe."
Ah Dai nodded and stuffed the remaining two medicine pills into the mouths of not only Yan Shi and his brothers but the Fairy as well, who looked at Ah Dai with concern and asked, "Are you, are you alright?"
Ah Dai shook his head, "Let’s talk after we get out of here." At this moment, some of his strength had recovered. Although the Cat Woman Mimi’s previous attack had heavily injured him, he now felt filled with power. This strength came from Ice. After giving Ice a deep look, admiring her stunning beauty, Ah Dai leapt up and dashed towards the Cat Woman, who was still entangled with Sheng Xie.
Sheng Xie was frustrated in his heart; the Cat Woman wouldn’t engage directly with him. Relying on her rapid movement technique and occasional sneak attacks, she irritated him to the point of extreme anger, yet he was powerless to do anything.
Mimi was fully focused on Sheng Xie, clearly aware that Ah Dai and his two companions were severely injured and troubled by the poison. As long as she could hold out until Horton brought more troops, none of these people would be able to escape. At that moment, she suddenly felt an immense force bearing down on her. Alarmed, she turned her head to see a giant yellow net descending upon her. The Giant Dragon was also charging towards her, blocking all her paths of escape. For the first time in her life, she felt powerless, and with a loud cry, she suddenly unleashed all her potential in a burst, rushing towards the net behind her, her hands producing countless green radiance of fighting energy.
How could the Cat Woman easily break through Tian Luo’s carefully crafted net? Ordinary energy was so weak compared to the formed energy of Tian Luo. For the first time, Ah Dai felt such hatred towards someone, not only because the Cat Woman had grievously wounded him, but more importantly, because she had taken advantage of his kindness and deceived him. Amidst the thunderous noise, the Cat Woman was blasted back by the force of the energy, only to be slammed to the ground by an enraged claw from Sheng Xie. That one vengeful claw from Sheng Xie shattered the Cat Woman’s Protective True Qi. Amidst the heavy crash, the Cat Woman coughed up blood and fell to the dust with serious injuries. If it hadn’t been for her exceptionally resilient body, this blow would have been devastating for her.
