<h4>Chapter 1403: Chapter 1396: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain</h4>


    Meanwhile, in another direction, Bai Zhiqing and Mand were already hiding in a safe ce. Bai Zhiqing’s delicate body was trembling slightly, her charming face showing undisguisable anxiety. She looked at Mand and said, "Manman, why hasn’t your brothere over yet? Did something happen?"


    "Sister-inw, don’t worry. A few random people can’t do anything to my brother. Just wait patiently, he mighte over at any moment."


    Mand gentlyforted Bai Zhiqing, but her charming face was still marked by an indescribable seriousness. She didn’t know why, but despite havingid arge amount of poison around, which would surely kill anyone who intruded, she still had a growing sense of unease, as if something bad was about to happen.


    Taking a deep breath, Mand looked at Bai Zhiqing and said, "Sister-inw, let’s move to another ce. This spot might no longer be safe."


    Saying this, Mand took Bai Zhiqing’s hand again, intending to run to another hidden location.


    "Hahaha, you are indeed here. Since you’re here, no need to leave."


    At this moment, a hoarse voice with a trace of gloom suddenly echoed.


    Upon hearing the abrupt voice, Mand braced herself, her expression immediately turning extremely serious, an involuntary hand reached into her small bag, her eyes coldly fixed on the front.


    "Poison Master, I advise you not to act rashly, or I won’t mind letting your arm and your body be separated for life."


    The cold voice rang again, apanied by its source, a figure slowly walked out from the corner, his appearance quite ordinary, an unnoticed face in a crowd, but his eyes left a deep impression, giving an eerie sensation, a mere nce from him sent chills down your spine.


    "Who are you?"


    Mand looked heavily at the masked man, her face growing tenser. Knowing she’s the Poison Master of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, this man’s identity is absolutely not simple.


    More importantly, when she and Bai Zhiqing were hiding here, she had silently ced ayer of poison around, even someone at the Mythical Realm level couldn’t escape unscathed, yet this gloomy man appeared effortlessly before them, evidently having taken a Poison Avoidance Pill in short time, so her poison had no effect.


    Upon hearing Mand’s words, the gloomy man smiled and said, "Who I am doesn’t matter, what matters is that I will take Bai Zhiqing today."


    "What if I don’t let you take her?"


    "Hehe, if you don’t let me take Bai Zhiqing, I won’t hesitate to kill you first, then leave with Bai Zhiqing."


    The man’s tone suddenly turned sinister.


    Hearing the man’s words, Mand’s heart sank, her face increasingly tense. She wasn’t foolish; from the moment he wanted to take Bai Zhiqing, she understood his n, to capture Bai Zhiqing to pressure Lu Tianxing, and even those two strong people outside appeared to divert attention.


    Taking a deep breath, Mand’s face suddenly revealed a sweet smile, she said to the gloomy man, "You win, since you want to take my sister-inw, go ahead, but I hope you take me along too, so I can apany her."


    Saying this, Mand straightforwardly gave up resisting, raising her hands.


    "Poison Master, you’re as clever as ever, but do you think I’m a fool? The rumor outside is, when dealing with a Poison Master, never approach within one meter, or you’ll die without knowing how. Taking both you and Bai Zhiqing, I worry I won’t get out of here." The man coldlyughed.


    "Since you’re so afraid of me, how can I let my sister-inw follow you alone? Why don’t you let us go?"


    Mand’s smile grew sweeter, making others feel an inexplicable joy.


    "Let you go? Poison Master, do you think that’s possible?"


    The gloomy man chuckled, "Poison Master, I advise you not to y any tricks, otherwise, even if I die, you’ll apany me in death."


    As he spoke, the man raised a wrist-like device, then unzipped his coat, revealing a row of bombs strapped on his body.


    "Pulse Controller."


    Seeing the wrist device in the man’s hand, Mand’s face turned ugly, the Pulse Controller being a highly special device, once modified it could act as a detonator for a time bomb. If she was not mistaken, this wristband was indeed a bomb detonator, with the ignition connected to his heartbeat. As soon as the man’s heart stopped, the bomb would explode, leaving her and Bai Zhiqing no time to escape.


    "What exactly do you want?" Mand took a deep breath and said.


    "I don’t want much, just need Miss Bai toe with me once."


    "Dream on."


    "Hehe, is that so? Bai Zhiqing, I give you two choices now, first, obedientlye with me, second, I’ll kill the Poison Master first, then take you. Choose one!"


    As the voice fell, the masked man flipped his palm, and a Desert Eagle appeared in his hand, the cold and dark muzzle aiming at Mand.


    "You... "


    Hearing the sinister man’s words, Mand felt a cold killing intent emanate from her entire being. Her beautiful eyes red angrily at the sinister man, her fists clenched tightly, even her teeth chattered, but there was nothing she could do. She understood very well that whether it was her or Bai Zhiqing, trying to dodge a bullet at such close range was nothing but a pipe dream.


    "Let Manman go, I’ll go with you."


    At this moment, Bai Zhiqing, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.


    "No, sister-inw, you can’t go with him. They’re obviously trying to kidnap you to threaten my brother. You absolutely can’t go with them, what are you afraid of? At worst, fight him to the end..." Mand’s face changed drastically upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words and said urgently.


    "Bang..."


    Before Mand could finish speaking, a bullet hit right in front of her, scattering a lot of cement, leaving only a bullet hole — startling to see.


    "Poison Master, my patience is limited, don’t test it," the sinister man said in a gloomy tone.


    Listening to the sinister man’s words, Mand’s heart was filled with anxiety, silently praying for Lu Tianxing to arrive quickly. Her poisoning skills were indeed unmatched, but if she killed the sinister man, both she and Bai Zhiqing might die. Moreover, the sinister man’s strength was higher than hers, and she couldn’t possibly deal with him in such a short time.


    "I’ll go with you."


    Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath and stepped out from behind Mand: "I can go with you, but I hope you will let Manman go."


    "Naturally, I have no interest in having a ticking bomb by my side."


    The sinister man smiled slightly, signaling Bai Zhiqing to stand next to him.


    Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath, did not say another word, just looked at Mand deeply, then turned and walked towards the sinister man.


    "Sister-inw..."


    Mand’s face changed drastically, instinctively wanting to step forward, but a gunshot rang out, and a bullet hit right at her toe, stopping her movement.


    "Manman, don’t worry, I’m fine."


    Bai Zhiqing turned her head to look at Mand, showing a smile, took a deep breath, said nothing more, and followed the sinister man outside.


    Mand watched this scene, her small face filled with anxiety, but she was powerless. She was indeed skilled at using poison, but her own strength was not strong, and she couldn’t possibly save Bai Zhiqing from such a short distance.


    Seeing the sinister man taking Bai Zhiqing into a ck Santana sedan outside, Mand could no longer care about anything else and rushed outside. She had to find Lu Tianxing, only Lu Tianxing could rescue Bai Zhiqing.


    At the same time, in another direction, Lu Tianxing was also not choosing to attack, but looked coldly at the sword-wielding man Wang Yang in front of him, a hint of seriousness in his eyes, exuding a murderous aura all over. Without Chang Sungsong, killing Wang Yang was not a difficult task for him.


    "Tell me, who sent you? Otherwise, today will be your death day." Lu Tianxing looked at Wang Yang coldly, speaking in a chilling voice.


    "Hahaha, who sent me? Lu Tianxing, you’ll never know in this lifetime who sent me. Instead of wondering who sent me, you should wonder why I came to assassinate you, even deploying two peak mid-stage Mythical Realm experts to ambush you. Don’t you find it strange?" Wang Yangughed maniacally as he spoke.


    "What do you mean by that?"


    Upon hearing these words, Lu Tianxing’s expression changed sharply, a sense of foreboding suddenly rising in his heart.


    "Brother, it’s bad, sister-inw has been captured, hurry and save her."


    At this moment, Mand’s voice drifted through the air.


    "What? A diversion tactic."


    Upon hearing Mand’s words, Lu Tianxing’s expression turned extremely grim, and his murderous intent eruptedpletely without hiding, causing the temperature of the entire space to plummet as if entering deep winter. Lu Tianxing’s eyes became blood red, and endless killing intent engulfed the surroundings, almost solidifying, making him look like a Hell Demon God.


    "Hahaha, Lu Tianxing, you finally understood, you are not that foolish after all. Your wife is now in our hands. I advise you not to act rashly, or you’ll never see her again. My task isplete, farewell."


    Wang Yang heard Mand’s words andughed madly, ncing at Lu Tianxing, then his figure shot up, like a ghost, disappearing into the distance.
