The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife Chapter 123-124

Chapter 123 – Beheaded In One Strike

“You—!” Xiao Ba opened his mouth to shout, but the little girl that had been hiding in the shadows suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, Xiao Ba felt a burst of sharp pain in his throat, and suddenly, blood was spewing from his neck.

Opening his eyes wide in disbelief, he stared at the girl almost within reach before he quickly retreated. His eyes were filled with fright, unwillingness, and despair.

Soon after he slowly closed his eyes, his breathing ceasing.

Beheaded in one strike!

Hexi didn’t pause, and quickly transferring all the internal power within her body to conceal her figure, she turned around and jumped out the window, escaping towards the depths of Cang Mountain.

In fact, Hexi’s current strength could in no way compare to a group of assassins, let alone three. She hadn’t even had the confidence that she would win a one-on-one fight.

Just a moment ago, if that assassin hadn’t been so careless, or if he hadn’t tried to use so much spiritual power after being hit by the Invisible Needles, he would have discovered that it was just a thin layer of internal power sealing his dantian. It wouldn’t have been able to withstand even a single blow.

Unfortunately, his first mistake was to seriously underestimate Hexi, and then, his second mistake was to lose his composure and become frightened by the Invisible Needles, becoming so terrified he had lost his ability to think. It was only then that Hexi had found the opportunity to kill him in one hit.

In the yard, the remaining three assassins were still leisurely chatting, and even though they smelled the strong reek of blood, they didn’t have the slightest worry.

But as time went by, they started to realise that Xiao Ba was taking a little too long to complete his task, and that there weren’t any sounds of movement coming from the room.

Puzzled, they walked to the room, and after barely opening the door, all three of the assassins’ faces changed.

They saw that the small room was covered in blood, it even flowed to the door while the stench of it permeated the room.

Lying in the middle of a pool of blood was their younger brother, Xiao Ba. His eyes were wide open, his face frightened, and his breathing had long since ceased.

The leader looked at his younger brother’s corpse and his eyes bulged in anger. Grinding his teeth he ruthlessly said, “Chase her! We must tear that smelly girl’s body to shreds!!”

****

The three assassins were extremely fast, so although Hexi had a head start and was using her Qing Gong, when facing martial artists using Flying Swords, she was still caught in the blink of an eye.

The leader of the assassins halted in mid air, and looking below at the lightning speed of Hexi, the corner of his mouth raised to reveal the trace of a cruel smile.

To an ordinary person’s eyes Hexi’s speed is extremely fast, nearly turning her into a shadow, but for three Meridians stage experts, this kind of speed is simply not worth mentioning.

The leader raised his arm, and condensing his spiritual power into a dark red fire ball on his hand, he wrapped it around the Flying Sword. Then, with one hand holding the sword hilt, he suddenly threw the sword.

The fireball engulfed the Flying Sword in a flash, following it as it hurtled at lightning speed towards the fleeing Hexi.

The assassin’s heard a loud ‘bang’ and the fireball scattered, turning the Flying Sword into fine powder.

Yet the expected outcome of Hexi being torn apart into hundreds of pieces didn’t occur.

She instead stumbled two steps due to the heat of the explosion, yet without pausing she continued to dash forward, as if she wasn’t affected by that attack in the slightest.

In mid air, the three assassins’ faces showed their shock. One must know, that the strike from the lead assassin a moment ago was equal to the strength of ten people. His cultivation base is currently at the peak of Meridians stage, so even an expert on Gold Core stage would at least suffer a little damage from that strike. Yet how is that an ordinary person was able to walk away, seemingly unharmed?

Chapter 124 – Piercing The Heart

So thinking about it, there is only one explanation…this girl’s body possessed a treasure! Moreover, it must be a rank five or higher magical tool!

The assassins looked at each other in dismay, greed evident in their expressions as they suddenly accelerated the speed of their Flying Swords to catch up to Hexi.

While Hexi was fleeing she touched her hair, and when she felt the remnants of a fine powder in her hand, her heart soared.

Just a moment ago, it wasn’t any sort of treasure that had blocked the assassin’s attack, rather…it was the imprint that Nangong Yu left on her body.

It was only at a time when her life was at risk that the imprint would transform into a protective barrier, keeping her safe from harm.

Nangong Yu, seems like I already owe him too much.

Unfortunately though, it seems that today might be her funeral. She was afraid that perhaps she wouldn’t have the opportunity to repay him in the future.

This thought had just flashed through Hexi’s mind, when before her eyes those assassins suddenly surrounded her.

The leader’s gaze was filled with fake kindness as he looked at her, yet he coldly said, “Nalan Hexi, if you hand over the treasure hidden on your body, I’ll make your death less painful, otherwise…based on the hatred we have for you after you killed Xiao Ba, we will certainly have you begging for death before we’re through!”

Hexi slightly panted, her gaze cold as she studied the three people before her without the slightest trace of panic or fear, “Who ordered you to kill me?”

Standing on the left side of the leader, one of the assassin’s expressions abruptly twisted, and pulling out his long sword he shouted, “Smelly girl, still unwilling to shed tears without seeing a coffin! You even dare to adopt a high attitude with us when it’s just you alone, do you think you’re a match for us?”

Hexi’s figure suddenly flashed as she disappeared from where she was originally standing, and with lightning speed due to her internal power, she rushed towards the assassin on the left.

The assassin’s face slightly changed, and condensing a thunderbolt on his palm, he fiercely threw it towards Hexi’s chest.

A “crack” could be heard, and Hexi felt a sharp scorching pain, causing all four of her limbs to spasm.

But she didn’t retreat, instead, she continued forward. After being struck by the thunderbolt, her face showed a strange smile as she rushed towards him.

The assassin on the left suddenly uttered an exclamation, and slowly bowed his head.

Looking down, he saw a slender dagger accurately stabbed into his abdomen, blood steadily seeping from the wound.

Yet the frightening part is that when the blood made contact with the air, it suddenly turned a dark green colour that could cause a person’s hair to stand on end.

“AH ah ahhhh—pain—itchy!”

The assassin dropped his long sword and frantically scratched his body as he rolled around on the ground wailing. In the blink of an eye, his face was now badly mangled and dripping blood.

“Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu! What happening to you?!!”

The assassin on the right wanted to rushed over and help him, but was stopped by the leader, “Lao San, look clearly. Xiao Wu is highly poisonous right now, you will only suffer too if you go over to him.”

Saying so, his ruthless gaze fiercely stabbed towards Hexi like a sharp sword, “Slut, what have you done to Xiao Wu?”

The side of Hexi’s body was badly mangled and bleeding from being struck by the thunderbolt, and due to the pain, her complexion was deathly pale.

Yet upon her mouth was an unscrupulous smile as she said, “I placed a poison named Tearing Heart Splitting Lung on the dagger I used. As soon as the poison enters the heart and arteries, the whole body will become unbearably painful and itchy, he only needs to shred his heart to stop the pain.”

As if confirming Hexi’s words, that assassin called Xiao Wu all of a sudden released a long mournful hiss, hysterically howling, “I can’t stand it anymore!!”

Following that, his body suddenly exploded, flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
