Chapter 268 - 264: Poisoned
At the critical moment, Ling Chen’s legs thrust powerfully, and his body shot forward like a cannonball toward the direction of the scream.
Just as he broke free from the smoke, he saw the masked figure raise the katana high above Xia Mutong’s head and swing it down. If the blade struck, Xia Mutong’s body would be split in two. At this point, Wolf Kiss had already made his move but held nothing in his hands, still five meters away from Xia Mutong, too far to rescue her.
"Be careful!"
He bellowed urgently, pushing his speed to the limit as he rapidly lunged at the Ghost Shadow Ninja.
At that time, the startled Xia Mutong seemed to snap back to reality upon hearing Ling Chen’s cry. As she saw the katana coming down, she almost subconsciously raised her handgun, not bothering to aim, and her finger repeatedly pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang!
Several bullets fired in quick succession, and although they didn’t hit the target, the close-range confrontation kept the masked ninja on edge, wary of being shot as he quickly retreated. He twisted mid-air, the katana’s blade pressing against the ground, the force of the blade springing his body back into the air.
Immediately after, he flicked his wrist, and several cold stars were flung from his hand, glittering as they flew swiftly, hitting Xia Mutong directly in her arms and legs. Three Ninja Darts embedded themselves in her body, leaving only half sticking out.
