When her body was about to crash into the rhinoceros horn ornament shimmering with golden light, Su Ying propped herself up by pushing the electric baton in her hand against the ground and spun her body around in mid-air before somersaulting over the rhinoceros horn ornament.
Wei Ji gave a sinister laugh, grabbed the robe nearby, and put it on. She flung her wide sleeves at Su Ying, and two green venomous snakes flew towards her.
Su Ying’s eyes narrowed as she swung the electric baton in her hand. The venomous snakes were instantly electrocuted and crashed to the ground.
“You are quite capable.”
Long streams of red cloth suddenly dropped down in the inner hall. Wei Ji grabbed the red cloth and leaped up. Then, the red cloth quickly retracted upwards. In the blink of an eye, Wei Ji’s figure vanished.
Su Ying gripped the electric baton in her hand tightly, paying close attention to her surroundings.
Suddenly, the surrounding light turned red. A massive swathe of red cloth flew over her head and almost covered the entire hall.
Su Ying quickly took out the dagger from her robe. As the swathe of red cloth rapidly dropped toward her, she slashed out with the dagger in her hand and made a large cut on the red cloth.
She wanted to leap through the hole, but Wei Ji suddenly descended from above and pounced at Su Ying like a spider. She immediately patched up the hole that Su Ying had cut open, like sewing on a cloth patch.
Su Ying was covered by that swathe of red cloth, and her vision was completely blocked. At this moment, a cloud of thick white smoke suddenly billowed out in the hall, and the smoke quickly spread throughout the entire inner hall.
Su Ying’s eyes widened the moment she inhaled the white smoke, and she quickly zipped into her interspatial store.
The white smoke was poisonous!
After Su Ying entered the interspatial store, she sat cross-legged and directed her energy into her dantian, circulating her true energy and expelling from her palm the poisonous gas that she had accidentally inhaled earlier.
Wei Ji was currently standing on the upper reaches of the inner palace. From her angle, the inner palace looked like a square cage. No one could escape from her grasp.
Just a little bit of this white smoke could kill the biggest elephant, let alone a person.
“Your Majesty, are you alright?” The Green Guardian immediately rushed over after receiving the news.
Before he could stand still, Wei Ji slapped him across the face. “Trash. You didn’t know that someone had sneaked in. Go and check if there’s anyone else.”
“Your Majesty, please calm down. Green Slave will go at once”
The white smoke in the inner hall gradually dissipated, and the situation in the hall was revealed.
Just as Wei Ji was about to gleefully verify Su Ying’s death, she realized that Su Ying was nowhere to be seen in the inner hall at all.
Wei Ji’s expression changed at once and she leaped back to the upper reaches of the hall. After checking the entire inner hall to make sure there were no corpses, her expression gradually became malicious. “Where is she?”
She roared, and the green-robed men who were standing guard outside the door rushed in.
“You guys have let her escape!”
All the green-robed men knelt on the ground and said, “Your Majesty, Green Slaves have been guarding the door all this while and did not notice anyone leaving.”
“Impossible!”
There were only two exits in the inner hall, the main door and the top. She had been guarding the top just now. It was impossible for people to go out from there, so the main door was the only way out.
“Look for her. If you can’t find her, I’ll feed all of you to my beloved ones!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Su Ying wasn’t in a hurry to leave the interspatial store. This empress’ martial arts skills were very formidable, and her methods were also very insidious. During the battle just now, she managed to get a feel of her opponent’s strength, so henceforth, she could better deal with her.
Su Ying arrived at the armory and began rummaging through it for a suitable weapon.
The palace had gathered a large number of people in the latter half of the night in order to hunt down Su Ying.
However, no matter how hard they searched, they could not locate her.
Wei Ji leaned against the throne and listened to the report from the red-robed man. The rage on her face became increasingly more intense.
She sat up from the throne abruptly. “Where did Red Guardian go?”
“Your Majesty, the Tiger Base.”
Wei Ji’s expression became contorted. “Tiger Base? Gather my three Great Guardians and flatten the Tiger Base.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The green-robed man had just turned around to leave when the hall’s door suddenly slammed close with a bang.
The people in the inner hall immediately looked around warily.
Wei Ji tilted her head and looked around. She slowly sat up straight on the throne.
Su Ying jumped up from the roof beam and was instantly surrounded.
Wei Ji looked at her fully armed appearance and narrowed her eyes. “Where did this monster come from? Capture it for me!”
Everyone lunged at Su Ying.
Su Ying slowly raised the laser gun in her hand and began slaughtering indiscriminately!
“Argh!”
The people who were shot by the sweeping laser gun fell to the ground wailing in pain.
Wei Ji’s expression changed instantly as she quickly dodged.
Su Ying’s gun barrel swung around and she continued to shoot at Wei Ji.
The speed of the laser gun was so fast that even a skillful expert like Wei Ji found it difficult to deal with it. Her body quickly leaped up and disappeared into the depths of the inner hall in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, a sharp whistle rang out outside the palace. The whistle sounded urgent, and the sound of footsteps outside the palace became closer and closer.
Su Ying ran out of the hall and saw countless black-robed men swarming toward her.
Su Ying raised her laser gun and sprayed laser shots at them.
“Argh!”
The black-robed men in the front row fell to the ground one after another. The fallen people almost formed a human wall, blocking the people behind them.
Su Ying turned around and ran ahead. As the saying went, to defeat the bandits, one must capture their leader first.
In the secret chamber inside the palace, Wei Ji, who was hit by the laser gun, roared in pain.
“Gather everyone and all the beloved ones. I want to tear her apart!”
The wild beasts sleeping on the ground heard the whistling sound approaching them from afar. They stood up from the ground and came to the entrance leading to the palace. The black-robed men opened the entrance and the wild beasts dashed in.
The urgent whistling sound meant that something had happened in the palace and everyone had to gather to fight. Everyone who was already resting quickly got up and rushed to the palace.
Su Ying stood at the very top of the palace, watching the people and beasts surging in like a tide. The pale moonlight gradually illuminated the killing intent in her eyes.
As a precautionary measure, she had left the conch with Xiao Jin. She could only use brute force against these wild beasts tonight!
Su Ying opened all the firing barrels of her laser gun and aimed at the crowd of people and wild beasts charging at her.
The moment she pulled the trigger, the light energy bullets rained out like meteors.
“Argh! Argh! Argh! Argh!”
However, there were simply too many of them, so Su Ying decided to mount the laser gun on her shoulder and began to spray laser shots at them from all angles.
Wei Ji, who was hiding in the dark, watched with wide-open eyes the people falling in droves.
“Tell everyone to stop. All guardians, listen up. Use your most ruthless methods to capture her.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The whistle sounded again. Those who were still charging forward suddenly stopped and retreated. Even the beasts turned around and left.
Su Ying stood with her back to the moon, and the backlight cast a layer of lugubrious shadow over her icy face.
After everyone retreated like the tide, a dark cloud slowly floated over and covered the moon behind her. There was only endless darkness in the world.
Su Ying had already put on her night-vision goggles, allowing her to clearly see everything hidden in the darkness.
At this moment, flocks of black birds that blotted out the sky flew over from afar, instantly making the night even darker.
Su Ying’s eyes darkened as she raised the laser gun n her hand and fired at the swooping birds.
The birds that were hit fell like a pouring rainstorm.
However, just as she was shooting at the birds, a rustling sound came from under her feet.
She looked down and saw a horde of black rats approaching her silently.
Su Ying’s eyelids twitched violently. This damned place had all kinds of trash!
She swung the laser gun around and shot at those black rats..
