Lu Congrong let out a hollow laugh. No matter how powerful she was, a dragon could not suppress a local snake. This was Yānchéng, after all.
Since he had already been discovered, there was no need to stay any longer. Even if he couldn't kill Su Tang himself, it didn't mean the Yānchéng City Lord couldn't.
No matter how beautiful Wen Liang was, it couldn't compare to his own life. At this moment, he didn't even want to be in the same room with her. He just wanted to leave quickly, lest this mad dog bite him again.
Su Tang narrowed her eyes, watching him pretend to be calm but actually fleeing in panic. "Did I say you could leave?"
Lu Congrong paused but didn't turn around. Instead, he chose to leave quickly, even using his internal energy. However, the moment he used his internal energy, his blood surged within his body. In the end, he vomited a mouthful of black blood.
The blood reeked of a fishy stench, but Su Tang didn't even frown. Instead, she sighed and said, "I told you not to leave, yet you didn't listen."
Lu Congrong instantly thought of her medical skills. If she could save people, she could naturally poison them.
"You…"
Su Tang blinked. "What about me?"
"When did you poison me?!" Lu Congrong's anger surged, and with it, another mouthful of blood.
Su Tang smiled. "You're about to die anyway, why ask? Don't worry, it won't be long before my dear Yúntíng sends your dead wife to accompany you. Consider it a filial gesture from your nephew."
Lu Congrong's face turned green with anger. Meanwhile, Lu Yúntíng was rather curious to know just how many "dear ones" she had.
Su Tang threw her wine cup to the ground. With a crisp sound, the cup shattered, and Lu Congrong collapsed to the ground along with it.
The surrounding servants were terrified, but none dared to approach, afraid of being tainted by the deadly poison.
After Su Tang left, finding Wen Xin wasn't difficult. Although the City Lord's Manor was large, the commotion was significant. She could easily find her by following the sound. However, the Yānchéng City Lord had truly spared no expense. Nearly a hundred assassins surrounded Wen Xin. Breaking through would take some effort.
She glanced at Wen Xin in the distance and was slightly relieved to see she could still hold on.
When the Yānchéng City Lord saw her, he wasn't surprised or afraid. Instead, he licked his lips and said with excitement, "I always thought medicine men were fake. I didn't expect both Miss Wen to be medicine people."
Wen Liang could poison people, and naturally, so could he.
So, in a way, he had a hand in Lu Congrong's quick demise.
Su Tang remained expressionless. "Yeah, don't get too excited. I'm the father you can never be."
Although provoked, the Yānchéng City Lord didn't jump like Lu Congrong. He looked at her calmly, with the same good-natured smile as before, and then said to the assassins, "Kill everyone except the two medicine people." He finished speaking and saw the Wen sisters looking at him like he was a joke. He suppressed his anger and said fiercely, "Teach them a lesson. It doesn't matter if they lose an arm or a leg."
Compared to ordinary guards, assassins were extremely difficult to deal with. They didn't fear poison or pain, but their killing power was immense. They were puppets and only obeyed their master's orders.
Therefore, against them, one could either cut off their heads or be cut down themselves.
Wen Xin already had some minor wounds on her body. Although not fatal, she couldn't drag it out any longer. If she did, the suppressed Gu poison would act up again.
Su Tang narrowed her eyes. Poison was useless here. She drew her sharp sword. The assassins charged at her like wild beasts, roaring. Without hesitation, a sharp sword energy slashed towards them.
The sword, sharp enough to cut iron like mud, met no resistance when it struck the assassin. First, the hand was severed, then the neck.
The head rolled down, blood gushing out. The scene was extremely bloody, but Su Tang didn't even blink.
However, despite the bloody scene, in Lu Yúntíng's eyes, it was extremely beautiful.
The little enchantress was already stunning, but the blood made her even more alluring. By the time he realized it, his gaze was already following her every move.
Along the way, he had approached and curried favor with her as Lu Yue. If his true identity were exposed, would she still treat him the same way?
He suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. The fake identity was fake after all. If they started over, would she still push him away?
The assassins had broken through the encirclement. Although Su Tang had blocked most of them for him, it was inevitable that one or two would slip through the net. Seeing a hand about to swing at him, Su Tang's pupils shrank, and a cry of "Be careful" caught in her throat. Then she saw him extend his hand.
The assassin turned to ash.
It all happened too fast, as if in the blink of an eye. But for Su Tang, her head buzzed, and she was dumbfounded.
Wait, this seemed like demonic cultivation!
Was demonic cultivation so common in this world?
Lu Yúntíng absorbed all the assassin's power and turned to see Su Tang staring at him in a daze. He gave a harmless smile. "Valley Master, you're truly amazing."
Su Tang: "…"
Who, who are you?
The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward, mainly because of the Yānchéng City Lord. He didn't expect an inconspicuous young man to be such a lethal weapon.
Su Tang felt like she had overlooked something. She wanted to call out to the system, but the damn thing still didn't appear.
Hmph, what use was it!
The system hugged itself and trembled.
As expected, the show wasn't that good to watch, but it still had to continue watching!
Although one assassin had been reduced to ashes, there were still nearly a hundred left. Su Tang knew there was no time for her to be shocked. Just as she was about to continue fighting, Lu Yúntíng took her hand.
Lu Yúntíng, dressed as a young hero, with a gentle smile on his face, just like he was back in Medicine King Valley, like a little angel, said warmly, "Valley Master, leave the rest to me."
With him taking action, the assassins were like ants, instantly turning into ashes.
Su Tang arrived at Wen Xin's side without any obstacles, but her expression was unsightly.
Wen Xin frowned. "Sister."
Su Tang wanted to scream. "Don't ask me, I don't know." After saying that, seeing that Wen Xin was still bleeding, she casually stuffed a pill into her hand.
She was disoriented. Wen Xin glanced at the god-blocking, Buddha-stopping killing god not far away and frowned. "Sister, I told you long ago that this person is too dangerous and deeply scheming. You're no match for him."
Su Tang didn't even dare to raise her head at this moment. She even had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Dog! Come out here! If you have the guts to play dead, you have the guts to come out!" After saying that, she roared again, "You think you can hide from the first day of the lunar new year, but can you hide from the fifteenth? Come on, the worst that can happen is we all die together! When I get back, I'll lock you in a dark room for ten years!"
Dying together wasn't scary, what was scary was the long, dark confinement.
The system didn't dare to hide anymore, but it still whispered, "Ten years is a bit of an exaggeration. This is a martial arts world, not a cultivation world. And even in a cultivation world, it doesn't work like that. People would die."
Su Tang gave a sinister smile. "No problem, when we get back, I'll have people find a brothel and show me R-rated stuff every day."
System: "…"
What a ruthless wolf!
