Chapter 2261: Chapter 2261: Sneak Attack
"Who is the scoundrel that dares to intrude into the fourth prince’s mansion at night?" Lin Kong stood on the rooftop, his robe fluttering loudly in the wind, and his sleeves billowed high.
In the moonlight, there stood two figures on the rooftop, one tall and one short, both in black attire. They turned to leave.
Upon hearing this, Long Rui and Xuexue stopped in their tracks and turned around.
Xuexue deliberately deepened her voice and said, "We didn’t enter the fourth prince’s mansion, just enjoying the scenery from the rooftop. Is that against the law too?"
Lin Kong’s eyes were tightly fixed on Xuexue and Long Rui. Due to their nightwear and black masks, he couldn’t tell who they were. Assuming they were some reckless villains out to make a profit from the fourth prince’s mansion, he shouted, "You sly female thief, still trying to make excuses. Tell me, where did that little ghost go just now?"
Xuexue feigned confusion, looking at Long Rui and said, "Really? The fourth prince’s mansion is haunted? It must be because the fourth prince has done too many immoral deeds. Husband, I’m afraid of ghosts, we should hurry and leave!"
Long Rui gently held her shoulder and said, "My dear, don’t be afraid, I’m here for you!"
The two of them stood on the rooftop, talking as if no one else was there, ignoring Lin Kong, who immediately became furious and said, "Ah, I see, you two little thieves are actually a male-female bandit duo. No wonder you’re so bold to dare intrude into the fourth prince’s mansion."
As he spoke, he gathered fifty percent of his power and struck fiercely at Long Rui and Xuexue.
The roof tiles clattered loudly under the force of the palm wind, with many tiles flying straight towards Xuexue along with the wind.
Do not underestimate these tiles. Lin Kong’s martial arts skills are high, and using fifty percent of his power was already formidable. If those tiles carried by the palm wind hit someone’s body, they would pierce right through.
"Dear, be careful." Long Rui wanted to shield Xuexue behind him.
To his surprise, Xuexue flipped midair, advancing instead of retreating, and with a reach of her hand, threw a handful of silver needles...
Xuexue moved quickly, the silver needles mixed with inner strength, and several glimmers flew straight towards Lin Kong’s face.
Lin Kong was startled; he didn’t expect this female thief to not fear his fierce palm wind and even dared to attack him.
Indeed, Lin Kong considered himself highly skilled, always seeing everything beneath him, not taking ordinary martial world experts seriously. He thought that the thieves who came to the fourth prince’s mansion tonight were ordinary martial artists too. He never dreamed that not only did the opponent not avoid his palm wind, but instead met it head-on and used a hidden weapon against him.
The silver needles were extremely fast...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
In an instant, they were upon him. Lin Kong wanted to dodge, but it was too late. To prevent the needles from piercing his face and causing unnecessary harm, he raised his arm to block, and whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, several silver needles with a glimmer shot into his arm.
Lin Kong felt a sharp pain but didn’t pay much attention, thinking they were just a few silver needles and confident he could remove them.
Long Rui was startled when he saw Xuexue charging without care and hurriedly followed up.
"Dear, be careful." As Long Rui rushed over, Lin Kong had just used inner strength to force out the silver needles from his arm, and with a backward wave, several silver needles shot straight at Xuexue.
Seeing this, Long Rui quickly embraced Xuexue and dodged aside, avoiding the attack.
Lin Kong was just about to step forward to teach these two thieves a lesson when suddenly, he felt a numbness in his arm, losing all sensation, with the feeling spreading to the rest of his body.
Lin Kong gritted his teeth with rage and shouted at the two figures in black not far away, "You venomous woman, how dare you poison me?"
