Chapter 296 Caught in the Act
Forced by her situation, Tang Xia could only give up struggling, since she could not just let Su Yanxun die when he was already on the brink of death. Two people went up to her and got hold of her.
Ye Yifan wanted to save her but Katherine held him back tightly. He could only watch Tang Xia getting taken away by War King. “Don’t act rashly! You can I combined cannot win War King!”
Li Xianxian had no interest in Su Yanxun’s life or death. After letting go of him, she wiped away the blood on her hand with a face of disgust.
The more Ye Yifan looked at Li Xianxian, the angrier he was. He dashed towards her and grabbed her shirt. “Li Xianxian, what do you want exactly!”
However, the unflustered Li Xianxian started laughing and blinked her eyes as if she was being wronged. “Yifan, have you forgotten that this is a game? You and I are in different teams. We only have one goal, and that is to win. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what I’m doing.”
Ye Yifan was speechless. He knew that what she said made sense. Katherine quickly went up to help Su Yanxun up. “Alright, stop bickering. What’s more important is to save Su Yanxun. Come and give a hand!” The helpless Ye Yifan could only let go of Li Xianxian and went to take care of Su Yanxun.
Meanwhile, Tang Xia was thrown into jail after being captured. Judging by the thick rusty and bloody smell around her, this place had probably been used to keep vampires who have done something wrong over the years. She frowned in disgust. She could not even find a place to sit.
“Make sure you watch after her carefully and don’t let her escape, understand! I’ll come and look for her later!” War King looked at Tang Xia in a sneer as he ordered the two guards who quickly nodded obsequiously. Seeing them walk out, Tang Xia squatted down out of exhaustion.
However, not long after, she suddenly heard a hissing sound from the door. Having very sharp ears, Tang Xia stood up immediately. Indeed, she saw someone sneakily wearing a long robe and using a hat to cover her face. Tang Xia took two steps back in caution. The person got close to her and took off her hat. Tang Xia froze and immediately looked at the person in great shock.
“Jiang Yu! Why are you here!” Indeed, the person was Jiang Yu. Out of fluster, she motioned for Tang Xia to lower her volume. Tang Xia got the cue and did so. Jiang Yu looked at her with a face full of worry. She grabbed her hands and sighed.
“I came to visit you secretly. I’m in the same team as War King, but now he wants to rebel! There is already widespread chaos outside, I took advantage of it to sneak in and find you. Are you alright? I heard you got in a fight with War King.” While saying so, she ran her hands over Tang Xia to see if she had any wounds or anything like that.
However, Tang Xia did not have any wounds at all, which confused Jiang Yu. Tang Xia could tell by her gaze and said a little helplessly, “Nothing happened to me, but Su Yanxun is almost half-dead after beaten up by War King. I could not take it anymore and end up in a fight with him. In the end, Li Xianxian came to interfere. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be caught by him.”
Jiang Yu also felt shocked. She never expected Tang Xia to already be at the level to fight with War King. “But right now, War King is very ambitious, we all have to be careful. He is already at the stage where he wants to take over the King’s position! He is really unstoppable now.”
Tang Xia saw that she was feeling a little put to the spot and quickly grabbed her hand and plead anxiously, “Jiang Yu, will you please let me out! The world outside needs me, I shouldn’t be trapped here!”Access v ip novel. com
Jiang Yu looked at her and thought about it for a moment. She herself had come here secretly, if she got caught…eventually, she still decided to open the door for her. But just at that critical moment, the door behind them was opened with a loud ‘Boom!’. Both of them froze. They then heard Li Xianxian’s scornful voice, “Well, well, well! I was wondering who it was! It’s Elder Jiang Yu, what are you doing here?”
War King followed closely after Li Xianxian. Seeing that things were not right, Jiang Yu rolled her eyes and her tone became cold again. “I’m just here to take a look at this newbie vampire who apparently could fight with War King.” While saying so, she tidied her outfit and side-glanced at Tang Xia.
“Since I’m done, I shall get going. I shan’t disturb you all.” While saying so, she made her way out. Tang Xia watched silently from a side and dared not make a sound. However, Li Xianxian laughed and stretched out her hand to stop her.
“Do you think anyone will believe in your bullshit? Just now, we heard clearly from the door what you two were talking about. You want to get her out! Come, lock her up!” At the end of her sentence, two men came in and suppressed Jiang Yu. Why would Jiang Yu just give up? She turned around and kicked them away.
Behind them, War King suddenly laughed coldly. “You don’t know your boundaries.” After which, he dashed forward and grabbed Jiang Yu by her neck. After all, she was not a match for him. She struggled profusely but it was to no avail at all. Just like that, she was thrown into the empty cell next to Tang Xia’s.
Jiang Yu was flustered. She scolded them furiously, “You two are slandering me, what evidence do you have? How dare you lock me up!” Li Xianxian found it funny and looked towards the two guards.
“Both of them notified me immediately when they saw you. Otherwise, could we have come on time? Right now, both of us are the most powerful in the castle, yet you want to talk about righteousness? Ha! Stay put!” After saying these, standing beside Li Xianxian, War King shoved her aside looking impatient.
“Alright, enough said. It’s my turn to taste!” Tang Xia felt a gush of wind and quickly covered her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the lock on her cell had been blown open. She looked beside her in shock and felt something sucking her away. Her neck tightened. Somehow, War king was strangling her neck.
She looked at him in fear, yet he started smiling coldly. “Hahaha, nice gaze you have there. Weren’t you being arrogant just two days ago? Why am I seeing panic in your eyes?” Standing at a side, Li Xianxian was also very pleased. As long as Tang Xia was doomed, she was extremely happy.
Without waiting for her to struggle, he took a big bite on her neck. She first felt a wave of spasm, as if her body was being emptied instantly. She felt an obvious loss of blood from her body. She struggled to fight, but it was like an ant trying to fight an elephant – it was useless.
Tang Xia stretched out her hand, wanting to push him away. However, the faint blue in War King’s eyes became darker. It sparkled faintly, as if he had gained some power. Although Tang Xia looked at him in shock, she felt more of the weakness from her life being sucked away.
Although War King was suffering while sucking her blood, like how he was poisoned when sucking blood the previous time, but it was all worth the pain. It was like he was drinking some stimulant, he was suffering happily. Li Xianxian was a little curious, but she did not have the desire to suck her blood. On the contrary, she was a little disgusted.
“Help…me…”Tang Xia’s struggles became weaker. The blue in her eyes became fainter. Her voice faded. In another cell, Jiang Yu was also frantically trying to break free to save her. However, the cell was made using a material that vampires could not break. It was useless at all.
There was not a single person in the room who could help her. Tang Xia also felt more despair. Just as she was about to give up, War King suddenly stumbled and fell onto the ground. Tang Xia was shocked. Her eyes were blurry, she was already so weak that she could not see clearly what was in front of her. At that moment, she lost her balance and almost fell onto the ground.
She struggled to lift her hand and wipe her eyes. She lifted her head in fluster to look at what was going on. All she saw was War King being stepped upon by someone and had no means to fight back. Meanwhile, Li Xianxian was kneeling on the ground in fear while looking at this person. Tang Xia struggled to lift her head to look over and she saw Chu Tiankuo smiling at her sinisterly. Yet, the tone in his voice had a tint of anger. “What now? Do you still want me to help?”Access v ip novel. com
Seeing that the person was Chu Tiankuo, Tang Xia was overjoyed, but she felt more guilt. Seeing Chu Tiankuo frowning while standing there, struggling to support his body, she knew that War King had sucked a good amount of her blood already. Besides, she probably did not have enough energy to continue on. Yet, her gaze was still so stubborn.
“I…don’t need it!” Hearing that, Chu Tiankuo suddenly clenched his fists tightly. The gaze that looked at her grew deeper. He could tell that she was losing her life slowly. If she did not get blood infused into her body soon, she would die. Although his heart ached terribly, he was still angry at how she would rather die than accept his help.
”Are you sure? Even when you can just end the game anytime? Just say something nice to me and I’ll clear all obstacles for you. Even so, you’re not willing?” However, Tang Xia’s consciousness was about to be consumed by her body breaking down. She almost could not hear clearly what he was saying.
Feeling blurry, she felt the scene before her eyes turning white. However, she still waved her hand subconsciously. Chu Tiankuo’s powerful aura suddenly became more intense. Li Xianxian shuddered uncontrollably. She stepped back to avoid getting blood on herself. Meanwhile, War King dared not move under Chu Tiankuo’s feet.
Chu Tiankuo smiled coldly and looked down at War King before lifting his feet and letting him go. War King was shocked and feeling grateful to be alive, he heaved a sigh of relief. Chu Tiankuo left right away without saying another word.
