*Whooosh…*
The figure sped like a gust of wind. Its movement was so unbelievably fast that Chen Xiaobei could not keep up long enough to figure out who it was – all he could see was a white shadow.
"Long Aotian! Are you here to die? Did you think I was kidding?" Luo Puti was beside herself with anger; apparently, she could see that it was the villain. Clenching her fist, she charged towards him.
"It's Long Aotian?" Chen Xiaobei uttered in surprise, and then shouted: "Puti! Retreat! It's a trap!"
"Okay!" Luo Puti was not a fool; she quickly realized that their rival was waiting for her to fall into their trap. However, both her and Long Aotian were moving too fast, and both were within range of each other within seconds. Retreating would mean leaving herself open for him!
"Three Inches Icy Heart!" Luo Puti yelled and channeled her True Qi to her fist. It was a move to push her opponent away from her through its explosiveness instead of maiming him! She needed time to think of a strategy.
*POW!*
Her punch landed on Long Aotian's chest, sending him a meter away from her.
"Luo Puti! You act like you know everything all the time, but you won't be expecting this! Hahaha…"
Luo Puti thought she had the upper hand, but Long Aotian had jumped away, laughing arrogantly. Beside himself and Savage Cow, the other six members of the Hundred Beasts Faction entered the arena too, all of them having disgusting looks on their faces.
"Luo Puti! You're such an imbecile! Hahaha…"
"I dare you to stay on your high horse! Motherf*cker! We will take turns violating you today!"
"Taking turns is boring, we should all do her at once! Just like that one video we watched! Hehehe…"
...…..
All of them glared at Luo Puti with lust, their eyes fixated upon that voluptuous body of hers, indulging in it while they drooled. They had even completely ignored Chen Xiaobei; for them, defeating the Ice Demon Queen was everything. He was just a piece of garbage!
"Puti! Are you alright?" Chen Xiaobei quickly ran up to her, grabbing her fist to have a look.
"Assholes!" He shouted angrily at the bunch. "How dare you poison her?!"
The fair skin on Luo Puti's hand had turned purple-black. Her knuckles had been punctured by something sharp; there were miniscule holes all over and blood kept flowing out those wounds. It was horrendous!
"How's it? How does it feel to have True Qi leaking slowly out of your body? Does it feel good? Does it excite you? Hahaha…" Long Aotian laughed coldly and revealed the Hedgehog Armor beneath his clothes!
It was a unique piece of protective armor that was covered with sharp, metallic spikes – a despicable armament! The middle part of the armor was bent inwards, blood dripped from the region onto the floor. It was the spot that Luo Puti had struck earlier, and it was laced with poison!
"The poison is strange… It appears to be consuming your True Qi… Hold on to this! Breathe in!"
Chen Xiaobei briefly examined Luo Puti's heartbeat through her wrist, and quickly took out the Seven Treasury Fragrant Pouch and gave it to her. He also pulled out two bottles of Hundred Herbs Potion from his treasure chest to clean her wounds.
"Don't waste your time treating her!" Poison Rat stepped forward while laughed coldly. "Luo Puti has fallen victim to the poison called Endless Dried Sea! I'm the only one who possess an antidote! No one other than myself can remove the poison!"
Chen Xiaobei ignored him completely, as he kept his eyes on Luo Puti's condition. In reality the Hundred Herbs Potion and Seven Treasury Fragrant Pouch had already begun to counteract against the poison – the damaged was already done; it'd be take two to three days before her body was cleansed even with the Seven Treasury Fragrant Pouch.
They need the antidote if she's too recover quickly!
"You should leave first… I can still stall them before I lose all my True Qi!" Luo Puti told Chen Xiaobei, her eyes narrowed.
"What are you talking about? Do I look like someone who would ditch a lady and run off?" Chen Xiaobei replied evenly, his eyebrows arched. "I promised that I will protect you! Those piles of rubbish are nothing to me! I won't leave you even if the most powerful king is here!"
Luo Puti bit her lips. She was touched by the Chen Xiaobei's words but was reluctant to drag him to her grave.
"Asshole! This isn't the time to act tough! Get out of here! I will defeat them! I'll catch up!"
"Do you think I'm an idiot? It's impossible for you to defeat them after I leave!" Chen Xiaobei was extremely focused; Luo Puti could see something powerful and domineering behind his eyes. "There are occasions when things can be negotiable, but now isn't one of those times! You are my elder sister, and I'm your Brother Bei! Listen to me!"
"I…"
Luo Puti was stunned. It appeared that she needed to learn about this man over again. Chen Xiaobei was not the man she thought he was; the greedy pervert was gone, replaced by a man of stature and gallantry! She knew that he was weaker, but she suddenly felt that she could rely on him even this life-or-death situation. As long as he was with her, she was safe.
Still, the members of Hundred Beasts Faction had a different opinion.
"Son of a bitch! Did you leave your brain at home? You're weak! You can't even dream of protecting Luo Puti! Your tough guy act is pathetic!"
"You're right! The brat is nothing without her!"
"Kid! Please kill yourself! We can't be bothered to slay you!"
"You have three seconds to off yourself, or you will suffer a fate worse than death! Garbage should act like garbage! Understood?"
....
The Hundred Beasts Faction mocked Chen Xiaobei; none of them thought that he was a worthy opponent.
The scorn made Luo Puti even more worried. She knew that Chen Xiaobei would not change his mind after deciding on something, and neither could she imagine how he had take them all by himself.
Even without the ten thousand combat power that Long Aotian, Poison Rat, and Old Tortoise possessed, the other four members alone could handle Chen Xiaobei! It was impossible for him to defeat them!
"I don't think we can get out of this place for now! We have to go deeper into the tomb!" he told her quietly. "Stay here. Do not move. I'm going to buy us some time!"
"What are you planning to do?" Luo Puti asked worriedly.
"I have my methods. Just wait here patiently!" Chen said seriously. Then, he pulled out the Black Dragon Apocalypse and dashed towards the Hundred Beast Faction!
"Chen Xiaobei! Please don't die here!" Luo Puti kept the Seven Treasury Fragrant Pouch on one hand and her dagger in the other. "I shall die fighting if you do!"
