Chapter 277 - 129: True Dragon Dagger
"Wretched woman, you think your pitiful dagger can harm me?" Qin Gang, the honored National Guardian General of Shang Kingdom, even with the support of the Royal Family, built his Dark Skill Cultivation with true grit and material.
His cultivation of Dark Energy is fierce and peerless. Facing two women and children with inferior Dark Energy, he only needed to exert fifty percent of his Dark Power to form an impenetrable Protective Xuan Qi Shield around himself.
Even with merely half his Dark Power, it was enough to withstand Lie Rou’s desperate assassination attempt. In the midst of speaking, he smugly clutched Yue Chen’s neck, gripping it tightly.
Lie Rou expended all her energy to thrust the dagger, but upon meeting Qin Gang’s Protective Xuan Qi, it clearly faltered, as if stuck in mud, rendering her efforts fruitless.
"Why, why," she looked at Yue Chen, his face turning crimson as he flailed his limbs, strangled by Qin Gang.
Tears fell like broken pearls from Lie Rou’s eyes; in her sight, Yue Chen was still the baby in swaddling clothes she had raised single-handedly.
Although not related by blood, she raised him through hardships. Even though the child was mostly silent, it was he who reached out to her in her most vulnerable moments, calling her "Mom" in an earnest voice.
The word "Mom," light yet heavy, was enough to stir her protective maternal instincts.
Lie Rou let out a low growl, akin to a mother beast defending its young, disregarding the barrier of the Dark Power Shield, and stabbing ferociously at Qin Gang with the dagger.
She clutched the dagger with all her might, refusing to let go; each stab grated harshly against her tender palm, and after several attempts, her grip could not withstand any longer and ripped open.
Blood poured down, streaming along the dagger.
Yue Chen was turning beet red; he struggled to reach into his bosom, but being small with short arms, he could not touch the Jade Tube within.
