Chapter 656: Chapter 516: The condition not to kill Xiao Jinyan, scared the hell out (4000 words)

Just from the speed and force of those two palms, Lin Xian could clearly sense their acute danger; he clutched his chest, turned his head to look behind, and saw the newcomer dressed in dark-colored brocade robes, with gold patterns shining dazzlingly under the candlelight.

What drew the most attention was the mask on the person’s cheeks, shaped like the nether butterflies by the Riverside of Oblivion, revealing the slightly feminine jawline underneath, his crimson eyes filled with murderous intent.

In the silent night, the person exuded a cold and fierce aura.

Before Lin Xian could react, the man in the mask attacked again.

Lin Xian, already at the end of his strength, found it too difficult to dodge this strike.

Just then, the door was pushed open; Shen Chuwei saw a person dressed in black standing inside the room and immediately guessed what was happening.

She threw the only thing she could use—the medicine box in her hand—at the person in black without a second thought.

The masked man sensed the danger and quickly retracted his hand to dodge.

The medicine box missed and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the clasp did not open, and the medical supplies inside did not spill out.

Shen Chuwei hurried over to stand in front of Xiao Jinyan, lifting her head to look at the man in black, noticing his mysterious appearance with the mask.

"Who are you? Why do you want to harm my husband?"

Lin Xian looked at Shen Chuwei standing in front of him, noticing she was only wearing a white undergarment, her hair simply tied back, probably because she had realized she forgot to change his medicine and had rushed over with the medicine box.

Thinking he was surely doomed this time, he hadn’t expected her to stand in front of him.

"You are no match for him, come over here..." He had barely finished speaking when a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, and it felt as if his internal organs had shifted, causing intense pain.

Shen Chuwei turned to look at Xiao Jinyan and saw him spitting out blood, his face so pale it was completely void of color, which frightened her until she turned white.

"What’s happened to you?"

She crouched down in front of him and, realizing she didn’t bring a handkerchief, pulled on her sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

As a doctor, she could guess even without taking his pulse that Xiao Jinyan must have suffered a serious internal injury to be vomiting blood like this.

With the enemy still present, she didn’t have the luxury to take his pulse and tend to the injury.

She turned her head to look at the man in the mask, her anger uncontrollable as she shouted, "What enmity do you have with my husband, that you want to injure him?"

The man in the mask looked down at her from his height, "What does it have to do with you? If you don’t step aside, I cannot guarantee I won’t hurt you."

Shen Chuwei was also afraid of death, but if she didn’t intervene, the man before her would definitely attack Xiao Jinyan, and she couldn’t just watch as something happened to him.

"I won’t step aside."

Lin Xian raised his head to look at the woman standing in front of him, not sure if he should call her foolish or an idiot.

At that moment, the masked man suddenly launched another attack, his crimson eyes filled with dense murderous intent.

Facing danger, Shen Chuwei instinctively wanted to flee, but thinking of Xiao Jinyan behind her, she not only didn’t dodge, but as the masked man was about to reach her, she suddenly took out a dagger from her Space and stabbed towards the man’s heart.

The heart is a vulnerable spot; if she could kill him in one go, both she and Xiao Jinyan would be safe.

However, she greatly underestimated the masked man’s strength. Just as the dagger was about to pierce his heart, the masked man grabbed her wrist with such force that she felt with just a little more strength, she might have to say goodbye to her hand.

Shen Chuwei inwardly cursed her fate, realizing how fast this man was; even her sneak attack wasn’t successful...

The masked man glanced at the dagger in her hand and instantly recognized ’Broken Moon’ from the pattern on the blade.

Broken Moon was forged from millennium cold iron, sharp enough to cut hair as it falls and slice through iron like mud.

The masked man abruptly closed in; despite it being summer, she felt as if she was in an ice cellar, a chill running down her spine.

Being stared at by those crimson eyes gave her the eerie feeling of being watched by the Grim Reaper.

"Do you want to kill me?"

His voice seemed to come from hell itself, instilling fear in the hearts of those who heard it.

"I have no intention to harm anyone. If you hadn’t tried to hurt my husband, I wouldn’t have taken up the knife against you," Shen Chuwei said, realizing her voice was trembling terribly from uncontrollable fear.

Lin Xian knew that the man in front of him was not only highly skilled in kung fu but also ruthlessly efficient. How could Shen Chuwei, a delicate woman, withstand his palm strike?

He suppressed the discomfort in his body and roared, "If you are a man, come at me. What skill is there in troubling a woman?"

The masked man raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Xian with a teasing expression in his eyes, "Killing you now is easier than crushing an ant."
