Chapter 264 - 228: The Key to the Truth _1
Sima Tianyuan’s arrival eased the tension in both Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue. The latter immediately coughed up blood, and blood seeped from his pores all over his body.
While Peng Fulai was merely exhausted from exerting his Zhenyuan, Zhang Yue had invoked the ’Xingtian Golden Body’ with the Tiger Wolf Elixir, and it was impossible not to pay a price.
He could originally hold on for a while longer, but since Sima Tianyuan had already arrived, there was no need to continue using methods that damaged his body.
Sima Tianyuan didn’t disappoint them either. Within less than ten breaths after his arrival, all the assassins, except for the woman in red who had fled, were either dead or wounded.
However, these individuals chose to make their move in the alley less than a mile away from the Zhuque hall, clearly prepared for death. Those who were injured and captured by Sima Tianyuan all died within moments of their capture, their orifices bleeding black blood.
—— Without exception, they had all filed double-sided suicide pills in their mouths in advance and had taken poison.
"These scoundrels are really lawless."
Sima Tianyuan, fearing that Li Xuan would be attacked again, did not pursue further after sweeping away all the assassins.
On one hand, he himself wasn’t adept at escape techniques, on the other, several figures had already emerged from the Zhuque Hall, chasing after the woman in red.
"Thank you, Xiaowei!" Li Xuan gratefully clasped a fist in salute to Sima Tianyuan, "If it weren’t for your timely arrival today, we would have met a disastrous end."
"I just happened to be having breakfast at a nearby restaurant and rushed over when I saw your distress signal."
