Chapter 897: Chased Down!
Chapter 897: Chased Down!
The Third Prince hesitated for a moment before he showed his firm expression as if he made up his mind about something.
"Young Miss, I am sorry for my impoliteness!" The Third Prince said to Tang Li Xue as he suddenly grabbed Tang Li Xue's shoulder and pulled her.
Tang Li Xue's heart instantly got tense and uneasy since she definitely would not be able to resist if the Third Prince tried to do anything untoward to her in her current condition.
"Wait a second, what are you..." Before Tang Li Xue could ask or protest, the Third Prince already put the feeble Tang Li Xue on his broad back and dashed further swiftly from that place.
Yes, the Third Prince actually carried Tang Li Xue on his back right now!
The soft sensation and enchanting feminine fragrance from his back made the Third Prince blush heavily, and he almost accidentally bumped his head into the large tree.
Fortunately, he was awoken by Tang Li Xue's painful hissing as she felt unbearable tearing pains all over her body just because of the Third Prince's movement.
"I am sorry for the inconvenience, Young Miss, but we have no other choice right now. Those annoying assassins will come here really soon."
"I do not mean to brag, but I am quite an important person here, so I am afraid they will also not let you go because they will probably not dare to leave any living witnesses." The Third Prince hastily explained to Tang Li Xue in order to avoid any misunderstanding.
Tang Li Xue did not immediately believe the Third Prince's words, but she was currently focused on another thing now.
[Greater Lucky Sticker Buff duration: 00:00:56]
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief after she discovered that the duration of her [Greater Lucky Sticker Buff] was not over yet.
Since she still had [Greater Lucky Sticker Buff] when she bumped into this unknown handsome young guy, it meant this guy should not be a bad person.
Just when Tang Li Xue's eyelids felt really heavy, and she almost fell asleep in exhaustion, she suddenly felt a great danger coming from behind her!
"Jump 2 meters to the left." Tang Li Xue whispered weakly to the Third Prince. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The Third Prince quickly followed Tang Li Xue's instruction in reflex and executed his exquisite light body skill to jump to the left!
BOOOOOMM~!
Who knew that a swift flying dagger tied with an advanced talisman was thrown right at the location where the Third Prince ran before and exploded?!
To make it worse, the dagger released poisonous gas after the advanced talisman exploded, so even if the Third Prince managed to dodge the flying dagger, he would still get poisoned by the poisonous gas if not for Tang Li Xue's early warning!
"Those insolent bast*rds~! Cough, cough, cough..." The Third Prince cursed angrily, but he immediately coughed a few mouthfuls of blood.
It seemed his serious injuries became even worse after he ran around with Tang Li Xue on his back!
Tang Li Xue also immediately realized that the Third Prince was actually injured very seriously when she saw the Third Prince cough out so much blood.
She tried to take out [Talisman of Regeneration] and [Talisman of Lesser Recovery] from her space pouch to help the Third Prince recover rapidly from his severe wounds, but the pain over her entire body became even more intense and unbearable when she squirmed her body only a little bit.
'Hisss, so painful! Damn it-! It seems my body is in a much worse condition than I thought...' Tang Li Xue grimaced as her consciousness became blurry just because of it.
Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth as she bit the tip of her tongue to maintain consciousness.
This was clearly not the time for her to pass out or go to sleep since she might never wake up anymore if those assassins managed to catch this guy along with her!
Without any choice, Tang Li Xue could only decide to spend some of her Deity Coins to buy [Recovery Pill] from her System instead.
11,896 Deity Coins ---> 10,896 Deity Coins
[Thank you for spending 1000 Deity Coins to purchase Recovery Pill from System's mall.]
But before she gave the [Recovery Pill] to the Third Prince, Tang Li Xue suddenly thought as her topaz blue eyes were shining in realization: 'Wait a minute, why the heck should I give this [Recovery Pill] to this guy?! I can just eat this pill myself to completely recover, right?!"
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue's hope was immediately shattered by her System's notification.
[Sorry Host, but It should be impossible for Host to completely recover by eating that Recovery Pill.]
'What?! Why?!' Tang Li Xue asked unconvincingly to her System while frowning deeply.
[Because there is still destructive space energy inside the Host's body.]
[No matter how good the medicines the Host eats, it would be useless as long as the destructive space energy still remains inside the Host's body.]
[In short, Host's current situation is not that much different than the previous boy who got hit by the Void Piercing Arrow.]
[Compared to the Profound Law of Destruction contained in the [Void Piercing Arrow], the destructive space energy from the Void Space is actually much more fierce and dangerous. It is also extremely troublesome to resolve.]
[The words 'Space is the king, but Time is supreme' are not nonsense after all.]
Tang Li Xue's mood instantly fell to the bottom after she heard her System's explanation.
Tang Li Xue really wanted to ask further about the solution, but this was clearly not the right time to discuss that.
Since the [Recovery Pill] was completely useless for her right now, she could only give it to the Third Prince instead in order to get out safely from this dangerous situation.
"Open your mouth." Tang Li Xue whispered weakly to the Third Prince's right ear which made the Third Prince feel really itchy and blush hard like a prawn.
Despite that, the Third Prince did not slow down his sprinting speed at all as he asked Tang Li Xue shyly: "Young Miss, what are you..."
Before the Third Prince could finish his words, Tang Li Xue already stuffed the [Recovery Pill] in her grasp onto the Third Prince's mouth.
Out of his trust in Tang Li Xue, the Third Prince did not immediately reject or spit out the pill given by Tang Li Xue.
After hesitating for a while, the Third Prince finally decided to swallow the pill.
Of course, it was not because the Third Prince blindly trusted Tang Li Xue because of her beauty, but it was because he thought that they were already in the same 'boat' right now, so it should be impossible for Tang Li Xue to harm him unless she wanted to die together with him.
The Third Prince almost moaned comfortably when the [Recovery Pill] dissolved in his body.
He was extremely surprised as the severe wounds all over his body were recovering rapidly under the [Recovery Pill]'s efficacy.
Even the best pill he had ever seen should not work as fast as the [Recovery Pill] given by Tang Li Xue!
"Young Miss, what is..." Just as the Third Prince wanted to ask about it, but Tang Li Xue hastily interrupted his words halfway.
"Watch out, on your left." Tang Li Xue warned the Third Prince with a soft voice.
The Third Prince instantly halted his step!
BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~!
Dozens of flying daggers passed swiftly right in front of him, but they only managed to hit the nearby huge tree's trunk instead.
"You can run quickly to the right."
"Be careful, there are attacks coming from above."
Tang Li Xue kept giving instructions to the Third Prince which made him always manage to barely dodge the cunning sneak attacks from the assassins.
Although Tang Li Xue could not use any of her divine abilities or martial arts, and even her body had become so weak right now, but her passive divine ability such as [Extrasensory Perception] was still working as well as usual.
The Third Prince was really amazed by Tang Li Xue's ability to predict any danger ahead of time.
"How can that son of bit*ch avoid all of our attacks so perfectly?!" Even the assassins felt very annoyed and angry at it.
"Then let's use that 'thing'~!" The other assassin replied in a cold tone.
Those assassins threw another wave of secret weapons toward the Third Prince and Tang Li Xue, but this time, they added something 'special' on top of it.
Unfortunately, their little trick still could not get away from Tang Li Xue's [Extrasensory Perception].
"Bend your knees and bow your body." Tang Li Xue instructed again.
The Third Prince felt strange at Tang Li Xue's sudden weird instruction, but he still subconsciously followed it.
PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!
Dozens of flying daggers were thrown at the Third Prince for the umpteen times, but who knew that there were invisible wires connected them with each other this time?!
Even the Third Prince could avoid the flying daggers, the invisible wires should ensnare and tie down him.
However, the invisible wires actually passed right above the Third Prince's head as he suddenly bowed down!
"F*ck~! Are you kidding me?! He can even dodge that?!" The assassin exclaimed in shock and disbelief.
The Third Prince sighed in relief when he saw the flying daggers with the invisible wires tied up on the tree instead.
The assassins had not given up as they kept unleashing sneak attacks from afar to wear down the Third Prince slowly.
Those assassins did not dare to fight in a melee battle against the Third Prince anymore after so many of their comrades were killed by the Third Prince before.
All of their ranged sneak attacks were very tricky and hard to detect.
If not for Tang Li Xue who helped the Third Prince with her [Extrasensory Perception], the Third Prince might have already fallen under their attacks long ago.
But it clearly could not last long because the extremely exhausted, weak, and sickly Tang Li Xue had almost reached her limit.
