“I gave you face, didn’t kill him!”
Xiao Mei sheathed her sword, turned around, and softly said to Bai Xiaofan.
Silence!
A deathly stillness!
Jiang Hai and Jiang He, among others, were dumbstruck.
Incredulously, they watched the scene unfold before their eyes.
Especially at the sight of Fei Li’s sword wound on his left rib, bleeding profusely, their eyes as wide as if they had seen the apocalypse.
Drip!
Drip, drip, drip!
Drops of fresh blood fell to the floor.
The clear sound reached everyone’s ears in the hall!
It was only after a long while that everyone recovered from their shock.
Fei Li was the seventeenth-ranked expert on the international assassins’ power ranking, and yet he had been so neatly and decisively wounded by a woman with a single sword strike!
Moreover, from what the other party said, this was the result of her showing restraint.
It was unimaginable to think what Fei Li’s fate would have been if Xiao Mei hadn’t shown mercy.
Would he have died?
“Who exactly are you?
Internationally, you definitely wouldn’t be a nobody!”
Fei Li, his hand clutched over the sword wound, stared intensively at Xiao Mei and demanded.
Not only Fei Li wanted to know the answer, but others were also just as eager to find out.
As Fei Li said, someone who could wound him with a single sword strike couldn’t possibly be a nobody on the international scene.
So in their hearts, they were calculating whether any of the assassins ranked higher than Fei Li were a woman from China!
“A cup of wine!”
However, Xiao Mei didn’t even bother to acknowledge Fei Li’s question.
She turned back around, picked up a wine cup, and tossed it at Uro, saying softly,
“I don’t recall agreeing to give you a cup of wine if you won!”
Uro glanced at the injured Fei Li and responded to Xiao Mei with a faint smile,
“Then we fight.
After I kill you, your wine will naturally be mine!”
Hearing Uro’s reply, Xiao Mei wasted no words, the Green Lotus Sword in her hand pointing at her opponent as she called out assertively.
“You’re still not my match, call the Killing God.
If Killing God can beat me, this pot of wine is yours!”
Uro chuckled and looked past Xiao Mei, his gaze settling on Bai Xiaofan, who remained calmly seated.
Even though Xiao Mei had just demonstrated strength strong enough to wound Fei Li with a single sword strike,
it was still not enough to draw Uro’s serious attention.
Jiang Hai, Hans, and others listened to the exchange and felt as if their brains couldn’t keep up.
These people were not playing by the rules.
They had assumed Xiao Mei would respond to Fei Li, but she didn’t even give it a thought.
And when faced with Xiao Mei’s challenge, Uro disregarded it, turning his attention to Bai Xiaofan instead.
Madness!
All at once, Jiang Hai and Jiang He had an illusion.
It seemed in the eyes of these few, their strength and so-called rankings were nothing but a joke.
Especially Jiang He, who had previously wanted to challenge Bai Xiaofan, felt a wave of shame.
Although Bai Xiaofan had yet to make a move,
from the discussions between Xiao Mei and Uro, it was clear.
Bai Xiaofan’s strength was definitely above Xiao Mei’s.
Otherwise, Uro would not have ignored Xiao Mei’s challenge and turned his focus to him.
The strong always seek to challenge the strong!
This was the same reason Jiang He wanted to confront Fei Li, and Fei Li wanted to challenge Bai Xiaofan…
“Hmph, talk after you’ve beaten me!”
Xiao Mei had always been a proud woman, and she had never deviated from that.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have persisted in targeting Bai Xiaofan, time and again, after failing to assassinate him on the first attempt.
Upon hearing You Luo’s contempt, her pretty face turned cold, and she lunged forward with the agility of an arrow, her Green Lotus Sword dancing lightly in her hand.
Bang!
A muffled thud echoed!
Xiao Mei’s figure rapidly retreated backward.
Not until she was back in front of Bai Xiaofan did she manage to steady herself.
The crowd looked at You Luo in shock, only to see a dagger in his grasp.
Clearly, the sound just now was made when the dagger struck the Green Lotus Sword.
One move!
The crowd was inwardly horrified!
Especially Hans and Bick, father and son, whose budding hope from seeing Xiao Mei wound Fei Li, was once again extinguished with a douse of cold water.
Xiao Mei was so formidable that she could wound Fei Li with a single sword thrust.
Yet in You Luo’s hands, she was defeated in merely one move.
Although Xiao Mei appeared unharmed,
anyone but a fool could see that Xiao Mei was definitely no match for You Luo!
“Consider this a repayment for not killing Fei Li with that sword!”
You Luo spoke indifferently, his gaze still fixed on Bai Xiaofan.
As if in You Luo’s eyes, Xiao Mei, a knockout beauty whether in figure or face, was less attractive than Bai Xiaofan.
If not for knowing better, one would definitely think You Luo was gay!
“Thank you!”
Under everyone’s gaze, Bai Xiaofan slowly stood up.
He gently patted Xiao Mei’s fragrant shoulder with his large hand.
“You sit and enjoy your drink; I’ll go win his drink for you!”
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Xiao Mei hesitated for a moment, then sheathed her sword and returned to her seat.
Listening to Bai Xiaofan, the crowd couldn’t help but curl their lips.
“Tch, as if you’re certain to defeat You Luo.”
“Same as before, if you can defeat me, all the liquor in this pot is yours!”
Seeing Bai Xiaofan finally stand up, You Luo stroked his chin and with a sweeping gesture threw the liquor pot onto a nearby table.
“That is beyond doubt, but I want to add another wager!”
Bai Xiaofan glanced at the liquor pot and said lightly.
“Another wager?
What will you bet with?”
You Luo asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing You Luo’s question, the corner of Bai Xiaofan’s mouth curled up in a confident smile.
“I’ll wager with your life, I can spare you!”
Whoosh!
Bai Xiaofan’s casually spoken sentence dropped like a stone into water.
At once, it stirred up waves!
And these weren’t just any waves; they were towering tsunamis!
Not just a splash, but strong enough to nearly knock out Fei Li, Jiang Hai, and the others standing by!
Damn!
This is just too arrogant, right?
In this moment, not only did Fei Li think so, but even Jiang Hai, and even Hans and his son Bick felt that Bai Xiaofan was boasting!
Although Hans and the others desperately hoped that Bai Xiaofan could defeat You Luo, because then they wouldn’t have to die,
the last shred of reason told them that Bai Xiaofan defeating You Luo was absolutely impossible!
There wasn’t even the slightest chance…
It wasn’t that they didn’t believe in Bai Xiaofan!
But compared to the recently famous Bai Xiaofan, You Luo, whether it was in terms of reputation, ranking, or even the success rate of missions he had carried out over the years, was the foundation for their belief in You Luo’s victory!
