Chapter 1253: Jiang Xue Poisoned
He didn’t want these people to get too close. If they did, not only would it be difficult for him to make a move, but they might also see how he extracts Jiang Xue’s Spiritual Power.
His secret mustn’t be seen by others.
After Nangong Jun’s subordinates heard Master Niu’s words, they hesitated for a moment but eventually slowly backed away. Since the boss had already instructed them to listen to Master Niu, whatever he said is naturally what should be done.
Seeing those people retreat, Master Niu’s face showed a hint of smugness. Looking at Jiang Xue, he said, "Jiang Xue, considering you’re a woman, I won’t make things difficult for you. However, you’ll have to give me what’s on you."
"What’s on me?" Jiang Xue smirked coldly and said, "There’s a lot on me, I just don’t know what Master Niu wants?"
"I don’t want anything else; I only want the Spiritual Power on you," Master Niu looked at Jiang Xue with a greedy expression. If he had Jiang Xue’s Spiritual Power, his achievements wouldn’t be limited to simply being a master.
"Spiritual Power?" Jiang Xue sneered, looking at Master Niu, she said, "This kind of thing isn’t yours for the taking just because you want it. If you’ve got the skills, try taking it yourself."
"Woman, since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, don’t blame me for being impolite." Master Niu’s face darkened, then his body moved and he lunged towards Jiang Xue.
As Master Niu, filled with hostility, lunged towards her, Jiang Xue became completely alert. Not waiting for the opponent to get close, Jiang Xue’s body quickly recoiled backward and then she swung her fist to block the opponent’s attack.
Because the opponent wanted her Spiritual Power, Jiang Xue dared not use it. She feared Master Niu might have some vicious trick to absorb it as soon as she unleashed it.
So, she relied entirely on her own strength. Luckily, during this time, she had been working quite a bit on her strength.
Master Niu watched Jiang Xue ward off his attack with her fists, revealing a smug smile. He spread his large hands, attempting to grasp her fists.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xue’s fist was small but quite forceful; he couldn’t hold it at all. Not only that, but his palm was also fiercely pricked by the silver needles embedded in Jiang Xue’s fist.
Stung by the needle, Master Niu’s hand hurt, forcing him to pull back, then he looked at Jiang Xue with a displeased expression and said, "Woman, you’ve got some nerve, daring to ambush me?"
Jiang Xue looked at Master Niu, filled with ridicule, saying, "Who told you to steal my stuff? Ambushing you is mild; if you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened. If you don’t leave, don’t blame me for being impolite."
"Woman, it’s not right to talk big. Since you’re being unreasonable, then face your end." Master Niu said as he once again lunged at Jiang Xue.
As he lunged towards Jiang Xue, his large hand suddenly flicked, scattering a flurry of powder towards her face.
Seeing this, Jiang Xue’s expression changed; she wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and the powder hit her face. As soon as the powder landed on her face, she knew it was bad.
She hadn’t expected Master Niu to be more insidious, actually poisoning her. It seemed that the silver needle earlier was too mild; she should have coated poison on it.
At this moment, Jiang Xue deeply regretted it. The poison powder glued to her face had to be removed immediately, or it would be disastrous. Jiang Xue wanted to get back home, but the door was closed; she couldn’t enter.
She couldn’t help but regret jumping directly from the balcony; now, to get back, she’d have to climb back up. But with Master Niu present, climbing back up to the balcony was impossible.
