He bent his waist and moved close to the cover. If it weren’t for the fact that Miss Su’s clothes were truly inconvenient for movement and somewhat heavy, he would have wanted to crawl on the ground like a Voldemort.
After a good while, he finally spotted a very suitable position. He quickened his pace and crept toward it, seeing that he was almost there.
His sneak attack plan was about to be set in motion. The positions of Yun Huizhou and the bearded man were just right; as long as he reached that spot, Yun Huizhou would definitely be able to see him.
When the time came, he would give Yun Huizhou a “you know what to do” look, and this wave of sneak attacks would be a success.
Suddenly, he felt a gust of sharp wind rushing toward him.
Having undergone a year of hellish training under Yun Huizhou, Lian Li’s body reacted faster than his brain, and he dodged to the side.
Someone had beaten him to the punch with a sneak attack!
This thought flashed through Lian Li’s mind. Furthermore, he could sense that this person’s martial arts were higher than his own, likely reaching the second-class level.
With his current martial arts, he couldn’t handle this. Thus, he didn’t hesitate; he raised his left arm, preparing to release a hidden weapon.
However, just as he was about to move, he noticed the attacker’s technique change. It shifted from a move intended for capture to an offensive strike.
“I’ll f your ancestors!”
Lian Li cursed directly. After firing the hidden weapon, he didn’t even have time to see if it hit; he hurriedly used a movement technique to evade.
If he didn’t dodge, he feared he would have to take a direct hit. He didn’t know how much internal energy this person was using, but since their martial arts were superior to his, a direct hit would certainly result in no light injury.
He dodged pathetically, unable to maintain his female voice. Fortunately, everything was in chaos, and the others didn’t realize that the phrase “f your ancestors” had come from “Miss Su’s” mouth.
The person attacking him was clearly stunned upon hearing that “Miss Su’s” voice was actually a man’s. Subsequently, the attacks became even more fierce.
The original ordinary offensive moves turned directly into killing strikes.
Lian Li: “Holy s***! This dog-thing.”
Lian Li had no room to fight back at all; he could only continuously use his movement techniques to dodge.
It was thanks to the fact that he had chosen the best movement technique back on Drunken Dream Island and had put in the effort to practice it that he was able to survive in this person’s hands.
While others couldn’t recognize his voice, Yun Huizhou, who was currently clashing with the bearded man, could easily distinguish it.
After dodging a move from the bearded man, he turned his head to look at Lian Li. Seeing that although Lian Li’s escape was pathetic, he was temporarily out of mortal danger, Yun Huizhou breathed a sigh of relief.
When he looked back at the bearded man, his gaze became incomparably cold.
His attacks grew increasingly ferocious, and the bearded man gradually became unable to parry them.
On the other side, Lian Li was also starting to struggle. The person fighting him noticed his condition, and the killing strikes changed back into capture-oriented moves, looking as though they wanted to take a hostage.
Lian Li knew he couldn’t let this drag on. Rather than passively dodging, it was better to take the initiative.
He intentionally showed a weakness. As expected, the person seized the opportunity and grabbed Lian Li, sealing his internal energy in the process. Carrying him, the attacker leaped up to stand atop a pillar.
Lian Li had long known that he couldn’t compete with this person in terms of internal energy, so he hadn’t planned to face him head-on.
After completing these actions, the person clearly relaxed a bit and looked toward the bearded man and Yun Huizhou. He discovered that the bearded man’s situation was already dire.
Yun Huizhou was about to take the bearded man’s head with a single saber strike.
Seeing this, the person holding the blade raised it, intending to press it against Lian Li’s neck to threaten Yun Huizhou into stopping.
But Lian Li had been prepared for a long time. The moment he was captured, the mechanical gadgets and hidden weapons strapped to his body fired simultaneously.
In particular, the hidden weapons concealed at his chest were coated in a lethal, blood-sealing poison.
In addition to the fatal poison, the hidden weapons hidden in his belt carried a drug that sealed internal energy.
“Sto—” The man holding Lian Li had just uttered one syllable toward Yun Huizhou.
Then, a “Clang—” was heard. His blade was blocked by something and failed to touch Lian Li’s neck.
He was startled and was about to turn his head when a sudden, sharp pain erupted in his chest, abdomen, and neck.
He had been ambushed.
“Pfft—”
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.
Subconsciously, he wanted to strike Lian Li with a palm, only to find that his internal energy could not circulate under the interference of some kind of drug.
He tried to draw his blade to slash Lian Li directly, but he found his entire body paralyzed. He couldn’t exert a shred of strength; even moving an inch was a struggle.
In this state, he obviously couldn’t stand steadily on the pillar. In the next second, he fell straight down, taking Lian Li with him.
Neither of them could use internal energy. Falling from a pillar over ten meters high without internal energy to protect them, Lian Li would be crippled if not dead.
Fortunately, many red cloth strips and silks were hanging from the stage of the martial arts marriage competition.
The one advantage Lian Li had over the other man was that only his internal energy was unusable; his limbs could still move and had strength.
During the descent, he spotted an opportunity and grabbed a red cloth.
However, this red cloth was not sturdy. It only provided a moment of resistance before tearing, and Lian Li continued to fall slowly.
Compared to having no buffer at all, the speed of his descent was now significantly slower as the tear in the red cloth widened, giving Lian Li more time to react.
He swung himself with force and, before the red cloth snapped completely, grabbed another thicker silk banner, finally stabilizing himself.
Meanwhile, the man who had previously held him captive had already crashed heavily to the ground and breathed his last.
Only Lian Li remained hanging on the pillar, neither up nor down.
To be honest, since he had learned Lightness Skill, he hadn’t been in such an embarrassing situation for a long time.
His limbs were tightly wrapped around the red silk as he looked toward Yun Huizhou. He happened to see Yun Huizhou strike with his saber, a line of blood appearing on the bearded man’s neck.
Immediately after, without even looking back, Yun Huizhou rushed toward Lian Li.
Upon seeing the situation here, his fluid movements suffered a visible stutter.
Clearly, he hadn’t expected to see such a scene. The person who had attacked Lian Li was actually dead, riddled with holes like a sieve.
And Lian Li was hanging from the pillar like a cured sausage. When the wind blew, he even saw Lian Li, wrapped in red silk, sway with the breeze.
This scene… he could not understand it, but he was greatly shocked.
It wasn’t just him. Because the commotion on Lian Li’s side wasn’t small—especially the noise made when the man holding him fell—many people had noticed the situation.
They didn’t understand, but they were greatly shocked.
Lian Li reached out toward him and shouted, “Quick… get me down. That guy sealed my internal energy.”
Yun Huizhou: “Alright…”
Everyone else: !!! A MAN!!! How did Miss Su turn into a man!
With just a cursory glance, Lian Li saw many young heroes who had come to participate in the competition wearing expressions of being lost in the wind; some even looked quite devastated.
Of course, besides them, some friends who had accompanied them but didn’t plan to participate in the competition had expressions of excitement and interest on their faces.
