Chapter 1383

Out of a guilty conscience, she was tricked by Hai Dafu into attacking.

She found an excuse to approach the other party.

A "Bone-Melting Cotton Palm" was viciously struck toward Hai Dafu.

In her view, Hai Dafu was already blind and would not be her match.

However, Hai Dafu had long been prepared for this.

He had been practicing distinguishing position by sound, precisely for this moment.

The fake Empress Dowager's sneak attack was easily dodged by him.

The two began to fight fiercely.

However, the fake Empress Dowager fell into a disadvantage before long.

Although Hai Dafu was blind, his cultivation base at the late Innate stage was one level higher than the fake Empress Dowager's.

And the impact of his blindness in battle was much smaller than the fake Empress Dowager had imagined.

The fake Empress Dowager felt anxious upon seeing this.

Let alone falling into a disadvantage, even just being in a stalemate was unfavorable to her.

If the commotion of their fight attracted the attention of others.

Just the fact that "the Empress Dowager knows martial arts" would be impossible to argue away.

However, the more anxious she was, the more flaws she revealed.

She was actually struck by a "Yin-Yang Grind" palm and flew backward while vomiting blood.

However, Hai Dafu was also coughing violently at this time, unable to pursue.

His diseased body could no longer support such high-intensity combat.

However, unexpectedly.

The direction in which the fake Empress Dowager was struck was precisely the rockery where Wei Xiaobao was hiding.

Her injuries were not considered heavy; after all, Hai Dafu had launched the attack while dragging a terminally ill body.

If it were Hai Dafu in his prime, this palm could have directly taken her life.

However, the fake Empress Dowager was still struck and had her breath disrupted, unable to get up for a while.

Lying on the ground, she bumped face-to-face with Wei Xiaobao, who was peeking out.

She showed joy and said:

"Little Guizi, Hai Dafu intends to assassinate me; help me kill him quickly, and there will be a heavy reward afterward."

Seeing Hai Dafu in a tottering state, she guessed that the other party's days were likely numbered.

But she feared being dragged down to die together.

Mao Dongzhu was somewhat fortunate at this moment that she hadn't poisoned Wei Xiaobao to death earlier.

And the fake Empress Dowager's identity had not been exposed.

Commanding a little eunuch with the dignity of an Empress Dowager, she considered it an easy task.

However, Wei Xiaobao hesitated.

But the reason was beyond the fake Empress Dowager's expectations.

"Won't it be another bowl of some soup?"

For the greedy Wei Xiaobao.

Having stolen the "Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters" earlier, only to receive a bowl of soup he didn't drink.

Clearly, he was disappointed and dissatisfied.

At the critical moment of life and death, the fake Empress Dowager had a flash of inspiration and said:

"Rest assured, this time it is to protect me; there will be plenty of silver rewarded to you afterward."

At this moment, Hai Dafu's coughing finally subsided.

He said weakly:

"Little Guizi, have you forgotten that you are still poisoned by me?"

His physical condition was even worse than he had imagined.

Perhaps he only had the strength for one final strike left.

After which he would certainly die without a doubt.

He was currently using words to stall Wei Xiaobao, gathering strength for his final strike.

He did not use the poison to coerce Wei Xiaobao into killing the Empress Dowager.

The two of them had been together until now.

The cunning Hai Dafu had long seen through Wei Xiaobao's greedy and cowardly nature; he absolutely did not have the guts to make a move against the Empress Dowager.

Wei Xiaobao cursed upon hearing this:

"You old turtle, give me the antidote quickly, or I'll stab you to death first."

As he spoke, he pulled a dagger from his boot.

With a face full of fierce but cowardly expression.

Hai Dafu smiled confidently:

"Little Guizi, you don't need to worry that I will force you to kill the Empress Dowager; as long as you stand by and watch, you will naturally receive the antidote afterward."

Wei Xiaobao hesitated upon hearing this.

Looking back and forth between the two, indecisive.

Both were continuing to speak, attempting to win over Wei Xiaobao, while also planning to stall for time.

Hai Dafu was gathering strength for his final strike.

The fake Empress Dowager was similarly attempting to recover her ability to move.

Eventually, it was Hai Dafu who recovered first.

Taking advantage of Wei Xiaobao's hesitation, he leaped up.

With a ferocious expression, he struck the fake Empress Dowager with a full-force palm.

The fake Empress Dowager felt the approach of death, her face filled with terror.

Suddenly, her eyes widened.

She saw a towering black figure appear before her.

In Hai Dafu's incredulous gaze, he calmly caught his desperate strike.

An indifferent, cold voice came from the Asura mask.

"You are indeed loyal. Rest in peace."

After saying this, he lightly pressed a palm onto Hai Dafu's chest.

The light in Hai Dafu's eyes vanished instantly, and he fell backward powerlessly, dying on the spot.

A trace of unwillingness still lingered in his eyes.

When the person turned around.

Wei Xiaobao was startled by the Asura mask and sat down on the ground with weak legs.

0....

The fake Empress Dowager, who hadn't yet caught her breath, exclaimed:

"Wutian!"

Gu Hanyuan casually pulled the tiger's skin to bluff:

"I have reached a cooperation with Kangxi. Hearing commotion, I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect to see such a grand show."

Mao Dongzhu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

She thought that since Wutian had reached a cooperation with Kangxi and had also killed Hai Dafu, he had already indicated his stance, so she was naturally safe.

Mao Dongzhu was increasingly fortunate that her identity had not been exposed.

She pretended to be dignified and said:

"Many thanks to Excellency Wutian for your help, otherwise this assassin would have succeeded."

She glanced at Wei Xiaobao on the side.

And said indifferently:

"Excellency Wutian, how should this little eunuch be handled?"

She was still plotting her own little schemes.

Attempting to have Gu Hanyuan kill him to silence him.
