Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1252 - 1249_1

Unfortunately, the significant gap in capability was apparent and Gu Xuan managed to dodge all of Xiao’er’s flying knives.

Frustrated, Xiao’er feigned taking out her expertly handled whip from her sleeves and lashed it at him!

"Overestimating oneself!" As soon as Gu Xuan struck, he grabbed the whip Xiao’er had swung at him, pulled it forcefully, and Xiao’er was sent flying towards him.

Taken aback, Xiao’er quickly let go of the whip, executed a mid-air somersault, casually threw a dart at Gu Xuan, landed, retreated several steps back to her original position, and stood ready.

Gu Xuan quickly dodged Xiao’er’s dart, then pulled back Xiao’er’s whip: "This is how you use a whip! Allow me to teach you!"

Having seized Xiao’er’s whip, Gu Xuan mimicked her move and swung the whip at their group.

The whip swept towards them with a chilling intent to kill, making Xiao’er and the rest retreat in evasion.

"Run!" Since they couldn’t defeat him, running was their only option!

Xiao’er took the lead and used her Qinggong to escape. To her astonishment, the others were following her. She was almost angered to death. Didn’t they know they had to split up? That way, more of them could survive!

Xiao’er hurriedly shouted, "Split up and run!"

Hearing this, they quickly scattered and fled in different directions.

Gu Xuan didn’t bother with them; his target was only Xiao’er. As long as he captured her, it would be enough.

Gu Xuan pursued Xiao’er, and with a flick of his whip, he entangled her body. With a forceful pull, Xiao’er was flown towards him.

This time, Xiao’er couldn’t avoid it – and she didn’t plan to.

If she couldn’t overpower him, then she would strategize! freēnovelkiss.com

In this world, victory wasn’t just determined by strength. Luck and adaptability were equally crucial!

When she was ensnared by the whip and hurtling toward Gu Xuan, she swiftly threw a dart behind her while simultaneously scattering a handful of poison powder to the left.

Xiao’er had noticed that when Gu Xuan dodged her darts, he mostly moved to the left!

It seemed to be his instinct!

Sure enough, this time, Gu Xuan moved to the left as expected. The poison powder landed on his face and body, but there was no reaction from him!

Gu Xuan couldn’t help revealing a smug smile, "Forgot to tell you, I was born immune to all poisons!"

Hearing this, Xiao’er was depressed: Are there people naturally immune to all poisons? God, are you sure he’s not the protagonist? His constitution is way too good!

Seeing her poison ineffective against Gu Xuan, Xiao’er quickly untied the whip that was wrapped around her waist and leaped several feet away.

Seeing Xiao’er was clever enough to untie the whip he had entwined her with, Gu Xuan arched an eyebrow, "You are indeed somewhat skilled!"

"No shit! That whip is mine – it listens to me the best!"

"Is that so? Let’s try it again!" Gu Xuan once again lashed his whip at Xiao’er.

Xiao’er quickly dodged, pulled out two bottles, unplugged them, rapidly poured the liquid from one into another, and threw it at Gu Xuan with lightning speed, taking the opportunity to run away at the same time.

With a "bang," the bottle exploded.

Despite seeing Xiao’er moving swiftly to dodge, Gu Xuan instinctively dodged too but still got wounded in the explosion.

Looking at Xiao’er’s fleeing figure, the entire face of Gu Xuan, scorched black, radiated a surge of anger!

For many years, no one had managed to leave him in such a sorry state!

Good! Very good!

Both Prince Rui and Princess Rui had indeed made him see them in a new light!

Both of them managed to leave him battered and wounded!

Gu Xuan applied his Qinggong, with a flash, appeared behind Xiao’er, striking a palm at her back.

Xiao’er felt a strong gust of palm wind coming from behind her, but she realized she couldn’t dodge it. If this palm strike hit her, she probably would vomit blood!

Xiao’er couldn’t help closing her eyes.

"Gu Xuan, bullying a weak girl? Aren’t you afraid of losing face?" A voice rang out, followed by the person charging at Gu Xuan with a palm strike.

Seeing this, Gu Xuan quickly withdrew the palm aimed at Xiao’er, clashing it with the incoming palm.

The two palms collided, forcing both individuals to retreat a few steps.

Xiao’er felt the palm wind disappear from her back and she was able to move again.

Turning around, she saw the rescuer was indeed Li Guzi!

Gu Xuan glared at Li Guzi with a dark face, "Li Guzi, I advise you not to meddle in someone else’s business!"

Li Guzi shook his head, "I’m afraid I can’t comply with that! Princess Rui is an elder in my clan!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan quickly lashed his whip at Li Guzi, "Then don’t blame me for being impolite!"

"Just as well, I also wanted to give you a taste of impoliteness! It wasn’t easy finding you!"

Thereupon, Li Guzi and Gu Xuan quickly engaged in combat!

The strength of Li Guzi and Gu Xuan were more or less equal, making it difficult to determine the upper hand in the fight.

While watching on the side, Xiao’er kept throwing darts at Gu Xuan.

As such, Gu Xuan was repeatedly wounded by Li Guzi due to the distraction.

Looking at Xiao’er, who was taking advantage of every opportunity, Gu Xuan angrily caught one of the incoming darts and threw it back at her.

Xiao’er promptly avoided it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Guzi stabbed Gu Xuan another time with his sword!

At this moment, Xi’er and the others came running back. Halfway through their escape, they realized Gu Xuan wasn’t pursuing them. They assumed he must have gone after Xiao’er, so they ran back!

Seeing Li Guzi present and the others returning, Gu Xuan realized it was impossible to abduct Xiao’er today!

Thus, he repeated his old trick, swiftly tossing a bottle. Two black bugs flew out of the bottle, each targeting Li Guzi and Xiao’er and moving at an extremely high speed.

Having thrown a bottle, Gu Xuan quickly tossed another one. This time, three black bugs flew out, two targeting Xiao’er and one targeting Li Guzi.

Li Guzi swiftly killed the two black bugs flying toward him with his sword.

Since Xiao’er didn’t have a sword, she could only use her darts to shoot them down. One of the darts was released too late, and a black bug bit Xiao’er’s face.

After biting Xiao’er, the bug quickly flew away and disappeared into some grass.

After releasing two bottles of bugs, Gu Xuan seized the opportunity to escape!

Seeing him run away, Xiao’er couldn’t help complaining, "Damn! He managed to escape again!"

Li Guzi looked at the distance where Gu Xuan had vanished without a trace, "That’s his nature. Whenever he meets someone he can’t beat, he runs faster than anyone!"

Hearing this, Xiao’er looked at Li Guzi, "Sir, is that correct? From what I observed, your martial arts skills are on par with Gu Xuan!"

"I’m better than him! Otherwise, how could I have saved you? As soon as I arrived, he was scared off and ran away!"

Xiao’er couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. She wiped her bitten face and asked, "What was that black bug just now? What will happen if I get bitten?"
