“Nie Linglong’s face was unusually gloomy, fortunately Nie Wuming wasn’t too bright, otherwise it would have been a nightmare. She wanted to see now how long Nie Wuming could keep going!
In a place like Independent State, power is everything.
Catch the thief, catch the king. After Nie Wuming dealt with some small fry, he immediately walked towards Nie Linglong with big steps.
“Your life, I want it,” Nie Wuming said coldly.
“I’m not so sure,” Nie Linglong replied indifferently.
“Let’s find out.”
Upon hearing Nie Wuming’s words, a faint smile of coldness appeared at the corner of Nie Linglong’s mouth as she looked into Nie Wuming’s eyes, filled with icy determination. “Sure, come and try.”
Nie Wuming remained expressionless, disappearing from his original spot in an instant. In just a few breaths, he had arrived by Nie Linglong’s side.
His palm struck with almost unimaginable speed, leaving no room to breathe.
Even Nie Linglong couldn’t help but be surprised.
However, just as Nie Wuming’s palm was about to strike Nie Linglong, his face suddenly twisted, and he staggered, clutching his abdomen.
Seeing this, Ye Wanwan’s expression became slightly strange.
“Brother?” Ye Wanwan whispered.
Nie Wuming didn’t respond.
“Brother, what’s wrong?” Sensing something was off, Ye Wanwan hurriedly approached, a foreboding feeling rising in her heart.
“Stay back, don’t come closer,” Nie Wuming glanced at Ye Wanwan.
Before Ye Wanwan could speak.
“Spurt—”
The next moment, Nie Wuming unexpectedly sprayed a mouthful of black blood.
The blood splattered on the ground, and it was black.
Ye Wanwan stared at the pool of tainted blood, her face changed instantly. “You’ve been poisoned?!”
Nie Wuming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and furrowed his brow. “Poisoned… when did this happen…”
Ye Wanwan looked shocked. “You don’t even know when you were poisoned?!”
Nie Wuming gritted his teeth, trying to recall. “Could it be that pear syrup… it shouldn’t be… how could this happen?”
Ye Wanwan urgently asked, “What pear syrup?”
Nie Wuming said, “There was a girl on the road who was giving out pear syrup for free. I had a glass…”
Ye Wanwan…”
Hearing Nie Wuming’s words, Ye Wanwan’s lips twitched, and she stared at him without saying a word. What was going on in his head? He knew Nie Linglong was ambitious, yet he didn’t take precautions?
However, at this moment, Ye Wanwan was too worried to blame Nie Wuming. Her heart was filled with concern, and without thinking much, she knew it was Nie Linglong’s doing. No wonder Nie Linglong dared to besiege her and Nie Wuming.
Watching Nie Wuming’s increasingly pale complexion, Ye Wanwan was in a panic. “What kind of poison is this?”
At this moment, Nie Linglong spoke softly, “Withering Butterfly, a poison that guarantees death within half an hour.”
“Half an hour…” Ye Wanwan’s face turned as white as a sheet.
Almost as soon as Nie Linglong finished speaking, black blood oozed from Nie Wuming’s mouth again, and his figure swayed dangerously.
“Brother!” Ye Wanwan hurriedly supported Nie Wuming.
“It’s okay, I have a good constitution, this poison is nothing. You go first; I’ll handle it.”
Nie Wuming looked deeply into Ye Wanwan’s eyes and then spoke.
“Nonsense!”
Ye Wanwan firmly held Nie Wuming’s arm. Even with a strong constitution, he couldn’t withstand such a deadly poison.
“Don’t worry about me; I… will be fine.”
Nie Wuming looked at Ye Wanwan, his brow furrowing deeply. “Trust me, you go first!””
