Chapter 508: This Was an Attempt on Her Life!

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

That was a sword!

Liu Shimei had never expected to face an assassination attempt here; it was her first time experiencing something like this up close, and for a moment, she was utterly bewildered.

Huangfu Lingyao obviously hadn’t anticipated this either. While he had intentions of protecting his wife, he never imagined someone would dare attack her in the Yong’an Inn!

When the sword thrust toward them, there was no time to react. Without thinking, he swiftly reached out and grabbed the hilt with his right hand!

His martial skills were advanced, but he had to conceal his abilities to avoid revealing his true strength. Hence, he had suppressed his martial arts before leaving that day, and at the moment, he was in a state of no martial prowess. Moreover, even if he had the ability, he wouldn’t dare to display it in front of Liu Shimei. So, he could only resort to the most straightforward method—

By seizing the sword tightly, he halted its advance towards Liu Shimei. Relying on brute strength, he forcefully pushed the sword back, then promptly lifted his foot and kicked the assailant away!

The assailant fell two yards away, right in the center of the courtyard. “Lingyao!” Liu Shimei hadn’t expected Lingyao, the silly puppy, to grab the blade with his bare hands. Seeing his hands instantly stained with blood, the bright red droplets fell like raindrops, as if the cut had slashed through her own heart!

However, before she could move, a dark figure fell upon her from behind, wielding a sword, thrusting viciously towards her heart!

This was an attempt on her life!

“Wife!” Thankfully, Huangfu Lingyao had been alert.

During the first attack, he had almost let his wife get hurt because it was unexpected.

If he allowed his wife to be endangered again during the second attack, it would mean he, her fiance, was incompetent!

His tall figure swiftly lunged forward, pulling Liu Shimei out of harm’s way, and kicked the hand holding the sword.

Leveraging his advantage of long legs, this forceful kick sent the sword flying!

But the person who had been kicked away just now rushed back, still gripping the sword, his target still Liu Shimei.

Huangfu Lingyao pulled Liu Shimei close with one hand, constantly defending and shielding her.

Liu Shimei felt like she was about to faint from the tension. She was extremely worried. “Lingyao, are you okay?”

She was so worried!

Huangfu Ling Yao couldn’t use his inner energy; he could only put on a show. Facing two opponents was manageable, but if one or two more came, he would be in deep trouble!

Liu Shimei knew they were in trouble. While being dragged around, she reached into her pocket and grabbed the poison powder. When one of the black-clothed men approached her, she scattered it.

But the worst-case scenario unfolded; there were more than just two of them!

Realizing that two people couldn’t get the job done in such a long time, two more black-clothed men emerged.

Four people, one of them poisoned by Liu Shimei, and all three targets were her.

The poisoned man hadn’t collapsed yet. In a situation where one was against four, Huangfu Ling Yao was clearly at a disadvantage!

In a moment of distraction, he noticed a sword thrusting toward his wife, and another aiming for him.

He didn’t hesitate and kicked the sword aiming for Liu Shimei!

Thunk!

The sound of a blade piercing flesh echoed. Liu Shimei widened her eyes and scattered the poison powder she held, shouting sharply, “Lingyao!”

The poison took effect, and the first poisoned man fell.

However, even if the other three had inhaled some poison, it hadn’t taken effect yet. Huangfu Lingyao was stabbed in the left shoulder blade.

He gritted his teeth, realizing he couldn’t delay any longer. Even if it meant risking being exposed by his wife, he had to call for backup!

He blew the whistle that had been pressed to his lips.

Liu Shimei looked at him in surprise, but before she could react, a figure descended from the sky!
