Chapter 250: Assassin
Xuan Ruiquan narrowed his eyes slightly and kept his eyes on the maidservant. When there were only a few steps between the two of them, a dagger suddenly appeared in the maidservant’s hand.
Before anyone else could react, the maidservant turned around, raised her dagger, and neatly slit Peng Bofan’s neck. Blood spurted out from his neck, and Peng Bofan’s eyes were filled with confusion. He covered the wound on his neck and tried in vain to stop the bleeding.
A second later, Peng Bofan breathed his last and fell to the ground. Seeing the blood on the floor, the staff and servants screamed in horror, and the scene became chaotic.
"Ah! She killed people!"
"Guards! Catch the murderer!"
The maidservant took advantage of the chaos and slipped out of the hall. However, before she could walk out the door, Xuan Ruiquan’s sword was already aimed at her.
Feeling the cold, murderous aura coming from behind, the maidservant bent down and avoided Xuan Ruiquan’s sword. Before she could stabilize her body, Xuan Ruiquan moved his wrist slightly, and the direction of the sword changed.
Clang!
The maidservant blocked Xuan Ruiquan’s sword with her dagger. However, due to her awkward posture and the difference in strength, her hands were numb from the impact. She gritted her teeth, held the dagger tightly, and pushed Xuan Ruiquan’s sword away with all her strength.
