Chapter 310 A Narrow Escape
The atmosphere between the two became denser. Anytime soon, the war was about to start. It was as if you could see sparks flashing past. Tang Xia had a bad feeling. She looked at Chu Tiankuo worriedly and stretched out her hand gently to hold his hand.
Chu Tiankuo’s body trembled. He looked at her in shock. When he saw her eyes, they were full of worry. At this moment, he was captured by them.
She leaned close to his ear and said anxiously, “You must be careful. He is not as easy to defeat as he looks.”
Chu Tiankuo then turned around. His gaze looking at Tang Xia gradually softened. He lifted his hand slowly and tapped her forehead. Tang Xia’s face scrunched up from the pain.
Tang Xia was just about to get angry, but when she opened her eyes, she saw his smiling face. He was like the only shining star in the dark night. At that instant, the world seemed to have become quiet and she could only hear the loud thumping of her heart.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly. With the magical power to captivate one’s heart, he said in a low voice that had a hint of determination, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely not leave you alone.”
Tang Xia froze. She felt as if an inexplicable emotion had stirred up in her heart.
However, at this moment, Bogula looked a little impatient as he stood before them. “When are you two going to stop being all lovey-dovey? If you aren’t going to hand her over, then let’s get this fight over and done with quickly. You can snatch her back when you’re handicapped.”
While saying so, he burst out laughing, earning him a look of disgust from Tang Xia.
She said coldly, “At first, I didn’t hate you, but now, I’m beginning to. I would rather a nobody come and bite me rather than have my body filled with your blood!”
As soon as these words left her mouth, Chu Tiankuo was shocked. He did not expect Bogula to be the one that bit her.
Bogula was not happy. In just the blink of an eye, he dashed toward Tang Xia.
He was so fast that Tang Xia only felt a gust of wind blow past her. However, Chu Tiankuo was sharp-eyed. With one swift motion, he grabbed Bogula’s wrist that was going to strangle her neck.
Feeling infuriated, he scowled slowly, “Don’t touch her! This is a match between you and me!”
Then, he pulled Bogula and threw him toward the open space on the other side.
Bogula inevitably felt some pain. He struggled to stand up.
Chu Tiankuo was on a roll. However, when he threw a fist at him, he was stopped suddenly. The word “bloodthirsty” was sprawled all over Bogula’s scornful face. The attack earlier was like a breeze to him. It did not bother him a single bit. The hand that was gripping Chu Tiankuo’s hand was tightening.
Chu Tiankuo also frowned slightly from the pain, but he held back the urge to moan. Looking from one side, Tang Xia was very anxious, but she could not do anything to help him at all.
All of a sudden, Chu Tiankuo looked up and landed a kick on his life-gate.
Bogula was shocked. He looked at Chu Tiankuo in disbelief and scowled, “Chu Tiankuo! You’re so despicable!”
Tang Xia cheered for him from the side.
Chu Tiankuo smiled sarcastically and snorted, “It’s common to use this on people like you.”
Following this, the probing stage was over. Chu Tiankuo began his attacks officially. Bogula was overwhelmed, but he had to get serious eventually. However, Chu Tiankuo did not have Bogula’s years of experience. Before long, he was taken down.
Bogula suddenly gave him a slap, which sent him flying. He fell down beside Tang Xia and could not help spewing out a big mouthful of blood.
Tang Xia was horrified. She went over to help him up and checked his body anxiously. However, Chu Tiankuo grabbed her by her shoulders. He looked at Su Yanxun with a serious look. “Quick, take her away. I can’t hold on much longer. Quickly take her away!”
Tang Xia broke free from his grasp and dashed forward to hug him. Chu Tiankuo coughed from the pain. On the verge of tears, Tang Xia choked as she said, “I’m not going anywhere! How can I leave you here when you’re not leaving! Who am I to you!”Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com
Chu Tiankuo was also very helpless. Although he was very touched, he knew that her life was more important. Before he could open his mouth to reply, Bogula suddenly launched an attack. Chu Tiankuo’s eyes widened and he quickly pushed Tang Xia into Su Yanxun’s embrace. “Take good care of her! Take her away!”
After saying that, he turned to fight Bogula head-on. Tang Xia was so worried that she was on the verge of tears. Seeing this, Su Yanxun suddenly remembered something. He took out a dagger from the small bag at his legs and put it in Tang Xia’s hand.
Tang Xia looked at the dagger in front of her. She then turned back to look at him with a puzzled expression.
Su Yanxun pushed it into her hand anxiously. “This is a dagger that can stab vampires. I don’t know if it’s useful, but right now, you are the only one that can save Chu Tiankuo’s life.”
As Tang Xia looked at the dagger in her hand, her hand tightened around it slowly, as if she had made a big decision.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang. Bogula had pinned Chu Tiankuo against a tree and was strangling his neck. Although his gaze was blue, he looked extremely bloodthirsty.
Looking at Chu Tiankuo’s exhausted state, he could not help bursting out laughing. His voice was so shrill that Tang Xia could not help covering her ears.
“I already said that you can’t beat me, yet you still want to try those useless tricks. Do you think it’s worth it?”
Chu Tiankuo looked at him with a cold gaze. Even though he was now defeated, he was not disheveled at all. And precisely because of this, Bogula had the urge to rip his face apart! Suddenly, his fangs were exposed and he was going to sink his teeth into his neck.
However, the instant when his teeth briefly scratched his skin, Tang Xia suddenly dashed at him.
At that moment, before everyone could react to what was going on, she took out the dagger and stabbed it into his chest with all her might.
Bogula stared at Tang Xia in utter disbelief. She was right in front of him, nearly gnashing her teeth. He lifted his hand slowly, wanting to remove the dagger with his hand. Seeing this, Tang Xia pushed it in even further.
Bogula’s body spasmed. Fresh blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. He could only choke out the sound “Uh, uh”.
Tang Xia was afraid that he could still move, so she pushed the dagger into his chest directly. At this moment, Bogula could not even form an angry expression on his face.Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com
With a push from Tang Xia, he fell onto the ground directly.
When the surrounding vampires saw their King get killed, they all rushed forward. Without saying anything, Tang Xia quickly picked Chu Tiankuo up from the ground and started running.
Su Yanxun saw that she had succeeded. What was left was just a piece of cake. He took out his gun and took care of it for them.
They ran for an unknown period of time. When they could not hear or see the vampires anymore, they then found a cave and rested.
Tang Xia looked at Chu Tiankuo’s wounds. Seeing him still unconscious, for some reason, she felt distressed.
Seeing this, Su Yanxun decided to go out to find some firewood and some fruits while he was at it. Although they did not need to eat, he was a human and had to feed himself.
When Tang Xia saw Su Yanxun walk far away, she then looked for a sharp stone on the ground. She created a slit across her wrist without hesitation.
Fresh blood burst out instantly. Tang Xia endured the pain and moved her hand near Chu Tiankuo’s lips. Seeing him slowly sucking on it unconsciously, she was then relieved.
Not long after, he woke up. Seeing that Tang Xia had slit her wrist for him, he was very unhappy and quickly pushed her hand away. Tang Xia was too happy to care about it. “How are you feeling? Is your body still in pain?”
Chu Tiankuo was just going to lecture her but he became speechless at that instant. This girl was always making him unable to continue when he wanted to scold her. “Don’t… use your blood next time.” After saying that, he turned his head away.
Tang Xia looked at him and found it funny. “Are you feeling awkward?”
Chu Tiankuo blew up instantly and suddenly stretched his wound, causing him to suck in a breath of cold air. Tang Xia quickly checked on him.
Looking at how nervous Tang Xia was, Chu Tiankuo suddenly quieted down. His gaze was as dark as the Dead Sea. The smell of Tang Xia’s blood still lingered on the corner of his mouth.
“Actually, Ye Yifan and I have reached an agreement. Neither of us will interfere in your matters. We will let you do it yourself. This is the only way to dampen the comments.” Tang Xia, who was looking around, suddenly paused. Feeling surprised, she looked up into his eyes. Seeing his serious expression, she had no choice but to believe in him. At that instant, her heart felt so complicated.
The agreement that these two men arrived at for her sake caused her to feel sorry for them. Chu Tiankuo continued, “Also, most importantly, both of us are going to compete fairly. The choice is in your hands. Me or him, the choice is up to you.”
Tang Xia could not help feeling shocked. Her gaze looking into his eyes was also filled with disbelief. She was just about to say something when she was suddenly interrupted by him. “But this time around, I was rash. I really can’t see you in a dangerous situation and do nothing. I’m sorry.” After saying that, he lowered his head in guilt.
However, Tang Xia felt like something had hit her in the heart. Looking at Chu Tiankuo, who was hanging his hand in sadness, she felt like it had hit the softest corner of her heart.
The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. She lifted her hand slowly and caressed his hair. “No, I should thank you.”
Chu Tiankuo was startled and lifted his head suddenly. He caught sight of her gentle side before she could hide her expression.
He brightened up instantly. Without caring about the wounds on his body, he pulled her into his embrace. Tang Xia was taken by surprise. At this moment, there was a “Whoosh” behind them.
Both of them looked back in shock. Su Yanxun was standing there, staring at them with a blank expression on his face. The ground was covered with branches scattered all around.
Tang Xia quickly pushed Chu Tiankuo away and tidied herself. Meanwhile, Chu Tiankuo cast Su Yanxun a dissatisfied glare. He had seen it—Chu Tiankuo did it on purpose.
Su Yanxun gathered the firewood and looked up at the two. He teased them, “What is the relationship between the two of you?”
Before Chu Tiankuo could say anything, Tang Xia quickly replied, “Good friends!”
Chu Tiankuo’s face darkened instantly.
