“Come over here!”
One of the elite assassins was about to approach Ye Wanwan, but Nie Wuming grabbed him by the hair and dragged him back. In an instant, with a kick resembling a dragon’s tail, he sent the man flying more than ten meters away.
Nie Wuming’s strength was astonishing, almost ensuring death for anyone he struck. In the blink of an eye, two of the elite assassins met their demise on the spot.
However, as Nie Linglong had mentioned, Nie Wuming was on the brink of exhaustion. His breath grew rapid, and his body seemed unsteady, as if he was sustaining himself solely through an unimaginable willpower.
But, as the saying goes, even a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, an eternal truth.
“Don’t… waste any more time; let’s go together!” Nie Wuming gasped heavily, his momentum undiminished.
“Brother…” Ye Wanwan bit her lip, looking at Nie Wuming.
“Master… Wuming hasn’t done anything wrong after all… Is this necessary?” One of the middle-ranking members of the Nie family expressed some concern as several Nie family elders arrived later.
“Why not? I gave him a chance, but he didn’t listen,” Nie Linglong said coldly. “Shielding the Fearless Alliance leader and killing several high-level assassins from my Nie family is an unforgivable crime. Even if my parents return, they won’t pardon them.”
Hearing Nie Linglong’s words, the middle-ranking members of the Nie family shook their heads inwardly, filled with helplessness.
In fact, the Nie family’s patriarch and matriarch had long suspected that something was amiss with Nie Linglong and had been secretly investigating her for a while. However, Nie Linglong’s influence within the Nie family had become solid, and without evidence, taking direct action against her would cause turmoil within the family.
But now, with the Nie family’s patriarch and matriarch missing, Nie Linglong had complete control over the Nie family. She had colluded with influential elders, and now, who would dare defy her?
“Don’t just stand there! Kill Nie Wuming first, then slay the Fearless Alliance leader!” Nie Linglong ordered coldly.
Immediately, dozens of people rushed toward Nie Wuming like a surging spring.
“Hahaha…” Seeing this, Nie Wuming burst into laughter. “Good, good, come on!”
Even though he was poisoned, facing dozens of Nie family elites, and even a few elder-level opponents, Nie Wuming showed no fear, welcoming the battle with laughter.
In an instant, Nie Wuming clashed with dozens of opponents, like two falling stars deviating from their original paths, colliding intensely. But within a few breaths, Nie Wuming had already suffered several wounds from sharp weapons, his body drenched in blood, turning his clothes a deep crimson.
“Sister, run!” Suddenly, Nie Wuming turned towards Ye Wanwan and shouted in anger.
At this moment, Ye Wanwan clenched her fists tightly; she couldn’t leave. How could she leave?
Gasping for breath, Nie Wuming abruptly pushed Ye Wanwan away toward the exit. “Go, Wuyou, go quickly, listen to your brother!”
“Sis…”
“I’m fine, you go!” Nie Wuming’s voice turned ice-cold.
As Ye Wanwan looked into Nie Wuming’s eyes, a profound panic suddenly surged within her. What was he planning to do?
The next moment, Nie Wuming suddenly charged at the elite assassins like a madman.
Ye Wanwan knew he was trying to buy her some time to escape.
Nie Linglong stood by, arms crossed, and said coldly, “This kind of poison, the more you move, the faster it spreads…heh…”
