Xiao Lingling responded with a chilling laugh: "My Plum Blossom Needles are laced with deadly poison. Once they touch blood, they can kill instantly. Eagle, you have no chance of survival!" Her tone revealed a hint of coldness and confidence, as if she had already foreseen Wu Wei's desperate plight.
Hearing this, Wu Wei was filled with rage, his body trembling all over. He quickly took out the Snow Eagle Castle's special antidote, the "Wine Eagle Pill," and swallowed it in urgency, dealing with the critical situation before him. His movements were both swift and tense, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the Death God, trying to seize a sliver of hope before the poison took effect.
Xiao Lingling witnessed Wu Wei's actions and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She knew well that Wu Wei was already at a dead end; the deadly poison contained in her Plum Blossom Needles was so potent that, once it touched blood, it could swiftly kill, leaving her opponent unable to counterattack.
"Bronze Eagle" Wu Dong saw this, and his heart burned with rage.
He let out an earth-shattering roar, his body leaping like an arrow off the string, extending his iron clamp-like hand, like a fierce eagle swooping down on its prey, attempting to capture Xiao Lingling in one move.
Almost simultaneously, Wu Dong roared in anger: "You vicious low-life, how dare you harm my brother! If you don't hand over the antidote, I'll send you to the Netherworld first!" His voice was full of anger and threat, as if he was about to tear Xiao Lingling apart instantly.
However, Xiao Lingling was not to be underestimated. Holding her Long and Short Dual Blades, she was able to skillfully dodge Wu Dong's swift and precise grappling technique.
Xiao Lingling's movements were as light as a dancing butterfly, narrowly avoiding danger under Wu Dong's attack.
Every move of Xiao Lingling appeared calm and unhurried. Suddenly, a flash of white light cut through the air, as her short blade swiftly slashed towards Wu Dong. Her long blade, which was a Myanmar Saber that could become supple around the fingers, suddenly sprang up, cutting through the iron chains that bound Liu Guihua.
Then Xiao Lingling cried out, "Sister Guihua, run!"
Her voice was filled with urgency and concern, worrying for Liu Guihua's fate.
However, Liu Guihua was already battered all over, her body extremely weak, with no strength left to run. But upon seeing someone come to her rescue, Liu Guihua trembled with excitement, her originally tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she helplessly knelt to the ground.
Liu Guihua's face was full of tears, her eyes brimming with gratitude and helplessness, silently recounting the pain and despair she had experienced.
Wu Dong had not expected Xiao Lingling to deftly deflect his unstoppable grappling technique.
He had been full of confidence, thinking he could easily overpower Xiao Lingling, yet he didn't anticipate that not only did he fail, but he also almost fell victim to Xiao Lingling's counterattack.
This made Wu Dong's heart burn with anger, his eyes nearly spitting fire. He quickly backed away several steps, drawing out the Coiled Dragon Whip from his waist, and executed the move "Flood Dragon Out of the Sea," mercilessly lashing towards Xiao Lingling.
In an instant, the situation reversed, and Wu Dong regained dominance. His whip technique danced like a Spiritual Snake, attacking fiercely and densely, dazzling to the point where it was almost impossible to track his every move.
Xiao Lingling tightly gripped her Long and Short Dual Blades, her movements swift and powerful, blocking, intercepting, cutting, and sweeping. For a moment, she found it difficult to adapt to her opponent's incredibly powerful whip technique.
Having traversed the Jianghu for many years, Xiao Lingling had never seen such a unique fighting style. Besides struggling to parry, she kept dodging to evade the tempest of attacks raining down on her.
Wu Dong's whip technique was like a raging flood dragon, dancing in the air with whistling sounds.
Every one of his movements was full of strength and speed, each whip capable of tearing through the air, striking fear into hearts.
Though Xiao Lingling was agile, under Wu Dong's fierce assault, she had to retreat step by step, searching for opportunities to counterattack.
Her dual blades fluttered in her hands like two dancing butterflies, trying to stave off the overwhelming shadows of the whip.
However, Wu Dong's whip technique seemed invincible, each whip precise, making it difficult for her to find a breakthrough.
In this intense showdown, Wu Dong's fury burned like a roaring flame, as if it wanted to incinerate Xiao Lingling.
He continually shifted his whip techniques, sometimes like a violent storm, other times like a gentle rain, making it hard to gauge his true intentions.
Though Xiao Lingling was giving her all, facing such a formidable opponent, she had to admit she was at a disadvantage. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her breathing became rapid.
However, she didn't give up, continuing to rely on her extensive battle experience and superior martial skills, striving to find a chance to counterattack.
In this life-and-death struggle, every move and stance was filled with tension and excitement.
Wu Dong's whip technique was like a wild flood dragon, dancing in the air, emitting sharp whistling sounds.
Every whip swung contained immense power.
Despite Xiao Lingling's agility, faced with Wu Dong's fierce assault, she had to retreat step by step, looking for a chance to counterattack.
Her dual blades glinted coldly under the light, each swing attempting to capture the flaws in Wu Dong's whip technique.
The two engaged in an intense confrontation in the arena, with Wu Dong's whip shadows forming an impenetrable net, enclosing Xiao Lingling tightly.
Yet Xiao Lingling, like a nimble swallow, weaved through the whip shadows with ease, her dual blades drawing graceful arcs in the air, trying to unravel Wu Dong's offensive.
However, Wu Dong's whip technique seemed impenetrable, each attack placing great pressure on Xiao Lingling.
Wu Dong tightly gripped his Coiled Dragon Whip and suddenly changed his stance to unleash a terrifying technique— "Venomous Snake Flicks Its Tongue."
His whip seemed to transform into a venomous snake flicking its tongue, sweeping across the ground with tremendous speed.
Xiao Lingling's toes had barely touched the ground before she swiftly reversed her grip and swung her blade, trying to fend off this sudden and ferocious onslaught.
The clash of weapons produced a crisp "clang" sound, with Xiao Lingling's Myanmar Saber nearly being shaken from her grip by Wu Dong's incredible force.
Amidst the intertwining blade light and whip shadows, only continuous tearing sounds could be heard, like fabric being ripped apart.
The already battered wooden boards, under Wu Dong's Coiled Dragon Whip's sweep, turned into countless fragments, flying like butterflies. Dust floated alongside the shattered wood, plunging Unity Hall into a hazy cloud of dust.
Xiao Lingling couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Wu Dong laughed loudly, his tone dripping with contempt: "You wretched woman, have you finally realized your situation? If you refuse to submit, not even the compassionate Bodhisattva can protect you. Hmph!"
His laughter echoed throughout Unity Hall, particularly jarring.
