Though he was fully focused, he did not know that even if Gao Lan Mei had slipped unintentionally, it would still be used to her advantage.
Before the knife that glimmered purple with poison stabbed her neck, the small snake appeared from her chest, threw its head forward and successfully bit his wrist.
He immediately moved far away from Gao Lan Mei to avoid the additional blow.
Instead of going back to its owner, the black small snake that was just as fat as his thumb, with the same length as his arm, still has its fangs sunk in his wrist.
With a cold sweat, he cut the snake in half. Despite that, the snakehead did not let go.
Gao Lan Mei chuckle, "Give up. He has always been clingy." She said ignoring the assassin's confused eyes. Pawns were not a normal creature in the Mortal Domain after all.
"I am not." A voice responded. It was eerie and hypnotizing. It also sounded very close.
Looking at the snake on the wrist, the assassin stopped paying attention to Gao Lan Mei and cut the head off swiftly. Then it finally opened its mouth and fell to the ground.
The holes from the bites were black with poison. Before he was able to think of a solution, his eyes had already blurred. Losing his footing, he slumped on the ground.
Before Gao Lan Mei could deal a final strike, the other two shadows were not able to endure and intervened.
Woosh!
Whoooosss!
Baaam!
One of the new arrived assassins, attacked Gao Lan Mei unannounced and the other immediately helped the one who had been beaten by the snake.
With a snicker, "Oh? You both decided to join the fun?" She was wondering where the other two were hiding.
The attack was heavier as she could only defend or dodge the new attacker.
"You are surely talkative." Yen Mìngjue couldn't help but comment. This woman was silent like a mute before.
Smiling wickedly, "Am I? Freedom makes people change." It's nice to stay in the mortal domain, so she would keep it that way!
"On your left! Look out!" Gao Lan Mei exclaimed, her attack going to the right and hit his right rib. "My bad! Let's try again!" she said grinning.
"…" What try again! We are not playing!
By instinct, due to the sudden cry, his body decided to move where it felt safe. Never again!
With a serious expression and a sly glint in her eyes, "Let's do it properly this time. Ready!"
Gao Lan Mei started attacking, "Left shoulder!" she cried.
"Abdomen!" she shrieked, but hit his neck
Another attack that is supposed to hit his abdomen was blocked, but she shouted instead, "Left leg!"
"Right chest!" Another lie from Gao Lan Mei.
The wooden umbrella's hit became faster and her shouts became louder, "Head then, neck!"
"Manhood!"
Wack!
"Ah!" The second assassin screamed. He ignored all the shouts and watched for the umbrella's direction to anticipate the hit, a strong kick reached his manhood and almost made him lose consciousness but he fought it and only kneeled on the ground.
"I told you." She said looking at him with an evil smirk.
'Witch! A despicable woman!' He was fuming inside and might have forgotten that the fight had always been three against one; if not including the snake.
Escape. That's what the three shadow assassins were thinking of at that moment.
They were cultivators, but for some reason, this young woman who did not have an ounce of spiritual energy, made them feel helpless.
