Chapter 1118: Assassin
Xuexue felt a pang of guilt but certainly understood the implication of the remark, so she deliberately sneered, "Can’t handle your business? Now you’re blaming Xi Qi."
The dwarf exploded with rage upon hearing this, convinced that Xuexue was mocking his decline in martial arts, labeling him as worthless: "You damned girl! If it weren’t for your trickery, my martial arts wouldn’t have deteriorated so much. Hand over your life!"
With that, his small figure lunged wildly at Xuexue...
Xuexue relaxed upon hearing his words.
So, the dwarf had suffered a crippling blow last time, when his tendons were severed, leading to his martial power being compromised. No wonder his movements had slowed so considerably.
As the dwarf charged at her, Xuexue suddenly sidestepped...
"Bang...!"
The dwarf gathered all his strength and surged forward...
But Xuexue had dodged, leaving his hurried steps unable to stop in time. He crashed with a loud thud into the edge of a nearby bed, creating a gaping wound on his forehead, from which bright, warm blood gushed uncontrollably...
The dwarf reeled from the impact, seeing stars before his eyes. Straining to stand up, he felt a burning wetness dripping down his forehead. Reaching to wipe at it, the thick scent of blood filled his nostrils. Immediately, he erupted in fury: "You damned girl! You actually made me bleed?"
