Chapter 717: The short dagger

She was dressed in plain clothes, her figure exquisite and translucent, her skin as white as jade, and a head of black hair draped over her shoulders.

Those phoenix eyes were sparkling with life.

"Have you laughed enough?" Zhang Wuji couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, the woman suddenly stopped laughing: "Laughed enough."

Zhang Wuji frowned slightly; he felt a sense of danger from this woman.

"Why did your Excellency ambush me? Did I offend you in any way?"

"020"

"You indeed did not offend me, but unfortunately, your head is worth three thousand gold!" the woman said in a ghostly voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji's expression changed.

"Three thousand gold? Someone put a bounty on me?"

"Correct. Today, I will take your head and go collect the reward."

As soon as the words fell, the woman's figure flashed, she broke free, and holding a short dagger, she lunged at Zhang Wuji again.

At this moment, the demonic energy permeating her body was even thicker, and it was even mixed with strands of scarlet blood light, making one feel a chill just by looking at it.

"Clang!"

With a light ring, Zhang Wuji drew his sword to meet the enemy, and in an instant, he and the person in black were entangled in a fight.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The two weapons clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

The dark shadow's martial arts were very strange, each move ruthless and poisonous, each move intended to kill.

And Zhang Wuji's swordsmanship was also very sharp, his sword moves like lightning, galloping across the field. For a time, the two were evenly matched.

"Ding~"

The dark shadow suddenly swung the short dagger, which was shimmering with black light, and clawed toward Zhang Wuji's neck.

"Sshhh!"

Zhang Wuji blocked with his sword, but he was still scratched by the sharp short dagger.

"Ah!"

A painful scream echoed through the valley.

Zhang Wuji covered his left arm, crimson blood dripping through his fingers and falling into the snow.

He looked at the masked woman, his eyes cold: "Your Excellency, who are you? Why are you plotting against me?"

"Hmph, this Venerable One is one of the four envoys of the Mo Sect, the Blood Blade Envoy. I am acting on the orders of the Sect Leader to take your life and avenge my younger brother."

Speaking of this, a look of anger appeared on the woman's face, and she continued:

"You hypocrites of the righteous Jianghu sects, each one of you is sanctimonious. On the surface, you speak beautifully, but what you do is despicable and dirty."

Listening to the woman's words, Zhang Wuji's mood was heavy. He never expected that the people of the Mo Sect were avenging his master...

"Since you are a person of the Mo Sect, how can I, Zhang, allow you to cause harm!"

Zhang Wuji finished speaking, and the long sword in his hand shook violently, turning into a streak of silver light as he slashed over.

"Ding!"

A spark appeared, and the short dagger in the Blood Blade Envoy's hand rubbed against the Heavenly Sword.

Zhang Wuji felt his wrist go numb, and the Heavenly Sword almost slipped from his hand.

"What a strange weapon!"

Zhang Wuji's gaze was solemn; this was the first time he had encountered such a troublesome enemy.

"You should also try the poison I newly developed. I want to see if you can still remain as calm as you are now after being poisoned!"

After the Blood Blade Envoy finished speaking, she lunged forward again.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

After another fierce battle, Zhang Wuji gradually fell into a predicament.

He felt exhausted all over, as if he had been hollowed out, and every move he made felt somewhat difficult.

"Damn it, this crazy woman, what kind of poison did she give me!"

Zhang Wuji gritted his teeth. He now felt soft all over; let alone using internal energy, even lifting a hand was difficult.

"Cackle, cackle, you've been hit by my 'Seven-Soul Bone-Melting Powder.' Without an antidote, you will surely die within half an hour." ===== CHAPTER 719 =====
