Chapter 301
Shangguan Ziling also quickly entered combat status. She jumped up lightly and dodged an arrow.
She held a dagger tightly in her hand, the sword blade flashing coldly in the sunlight, adding a touch of coolness to her temperament.
She quickly scanned the situation around her, then calmly analyzed the enemy's attack pattern.
Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling fought side by side, their figures shuttled in the rain of arrows, sometimes dodging, sometimes counterattacking. Their cooperation was tacit and efficient, as if they had already anticipated the enemy's actions.
However, the enemy's arrows continued to fly, and Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling had to remain highly alert at all times. They kept changing positions, looking for the enemy's flaws.
Mo Shaoxie moved, and shuttled between the arrows like lightning. He caught the arrow with both hands, and then swung it violently. The arrow shot into the darkness like a meteor, and only the sound of "puff puff puff" of people falling to the ground could be heard one after another.
Shangguan Ziling was not to be outdone. She flicked her slender fingers lightly, and the embroidery needle shot accurately into the darkness like a sharp sword. While dodging the arrows, she used her inner strength to control the embroidery needle, cooperating with Mo Shaoxie to deal with the enemy together.
Seeing this, Shadow and the others followed Mo Shaoxie's example, catching the arrows and throwing them into the darkness. Their tacit cooperation caught the enemy off guard.
The arrows soon stopped, as if dispelled by an invisible force.
Seeing this scene, the leader was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. He looked at Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling sinisterly, his heart filled with murderous intent.
"Poison!" The leader gave an order, and white powder fell from the sky.
Shangguan Ziling's face changed, and she immediately realized that this was a highly poisonous substance.
"Hold your breath!" she shouted, then quickly took out the Qingxin Pill from the space and swallowed it.
This Qingxin Pill is a detoxification pill she specially made, which can temporarily resist poison.
Seeing this, Mo Shaoxie did not hesitate to reach out and hug her, holding her in his arms. He used his internal energy to dispel the toxins in her body, and at the same time used his own body to resist the invasion of the poison gas for her.
There was a solemn and murderous atmosphere in the canyon.
Shangguan Ziling held a bottle of spiritual spring water in her hand. She gently stroked Mo Shaoxie's cheek and tenderly fed him a heart-clearing pill. Then, she personally fed him a few sips of spiritual spring water.
Mo Shaoxie cooperated and swallowed it.
"Shadow, each of you take one pill and then drink some spiritual spring water." Shangguan Ziling's voice was calm and firm. She threw the Qingxin Pills and spiritual spring water to Shadow.
Shadow took it and did as he was told without hesitation.
The leader on the canyon originally thought that his plan was flawless. However, when he looked at Mo Shaoxie and his group below the canyon, he found that they were unharmed.
How could his poison not work? His heart was filled with doubt and anger.
There was a hint of unwillingness in the leader's eyes. He couldn't understand why the poison he had carefully developed was ineffective against Mo Shaoxie and his group.
Just then, a man in black said, "Chief, they seem to be okay?"
The leader glared at him and said angrily: "I am not blind! I know they are fine! But how could my poison be ineffective?"
Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling stood side by side, their eyes were like torches, staring at the enemy above. Mo Shaoxie glanced up, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said coldly: "Attack, kill without mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow and other secret guards shot up into the sky like arrows. Their figures shuttled through the air, as mysterious and unpredictable as ghosts.
Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling and flew up behind him. Their target was the men in black who were trying to assassinate them.
The men in black obviously did not expect Mo Shaoxie and his men to counterattack so quickly, and they fled in panic.
However, Shadow and other secret guards were very skilled in martial arts. They easily caught up with the men in black and subdued them with one move.
"Chief, let's go!" a man in black shouted anxiously.
The black-clothed man who was called the leader laughed loudly, and there was a hint of disdain and ridicule in his voice: "Mo Shaoxie, you are lucky this time, but you won't be so lucky next time."
After saying that, he quickly left the scene. Seeing that their leader had escaped, the other men in black also wanted to flee.
However, Shadow and other secret guards did not give them this chance. They quickly chased forward and killed the remaining men in black one by one.
Shangguan Ziling looked at the bodies of the men in black, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She turned to Mo Shaoxie and asked, "Who are they?"
Mo Shaoxie had a gloomy face. He knew in his heart who the person was and he was determined to kill him. However, he didn't take him seriously. He was lucky this time, and he would never be able to escape next time.
Shadow was checking the bodies of the men in black. After a while, he walked up to Mo Shaoxie and Shangguan Ziling and reported, "Master, Princess, they are from the Nan family."
"Nan family?" Shangguan Ziling frowned, she seemed to remember something.
Shangguan Ziling frowned and said to Mo Shaoxie, "Let's go down. I'll check for you. The poison powder just now is very poisonous."
Mo Shaoxie nodded, he put his arm around Shangguan Ziling's waist, and jumped down from the height. The two landed lightly on the ground, followed closely by the secret guards.
Shangguan Ziling began to carefully check their pulses. Her fingers gently pressed on their pulses, feeling the weak and rapid beats.
After a careful inspection, Shangguan Ziling found that they were all poisoned, and the poison was very strong. As long as they were contaminated with a little powder, they would be poisoned.
The poison powder had fallen so densely that their clothes were more or less stained with it. Fortunately, she took the Lingquan water and Qingxin pills in time to temporarily delay the onset of the poison, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Their horses were gone, either from arrows or poison, and they walked out of the canyon and sat down by a stream.
As it grew darker, Shadow and his men picked up some dry firewood and started a fire.
Several secret guards went hunting and caught fish in the river.
Fortunately, there were herbs in her space that could antidote the poison. Shangguan Ziling walked aside and began to prepare the antidote.
She walked aside and began to make the antidote. She skillfully put the herbs into the pot, added spiritual spring water, and began to boil. The firelight reflected on her face, but she didn't care, just concentrating on making the antidote.
An hour later, the antidote was ready and was distributed to them bowl by bowl and they were asked to drink it.
They drank the antidote one by one and vomited black blood. Most of the toxins in their bodies were cleared, but a trace of toxin remained in their bodies.
Shangguan Ziling did not dare to be careless. She used silver needles to eliminate the toxins that had not been completely eliminated from their bodies one by one.
After some effort, the toxins in their bodies were finally cleared out. Shangguan Ziling was exhausted and sweating. She sat aside, panting.
