Chapter 714 223: Lan Xiaodie Strikes: Repaying Kindness or Prelude to Revenge? (Part 5)

Xiang Yushan pushed the "Wind Pillar Technique" to its extreme, causing that pillar of wind to spin rapidly, scattering the poison smoke.

Lv Yuan waved his hands continuously, the power of the "Cold Ice Palm" flowed endlessly from his palms, freezing the poison smoke so it couldn't come near.

However, just as they were fully engaged with the poison smoke, Lan Xiaodie flashed like a black bolt of lightning and arrived swiftly at Shi Feiyang's side. She whispered, "Shi Feiyang, hurry up and leave!"

Shi Feiyang's eyes showed a trace of surprise, but he didn't hesitate at all, quickly pulling over Yang Xue'Er and Lu Hongye; Shi Xiong also closely followed behind.

Led by Lan Xiaodie, they seized the moment when the Jinyi Guards were blocked by the poison smoke and swiftly dashed towards the exit.

Their figures vanished like a gust of wind in the chaos of the Famous Duck Shop.

When Kang Fusheng, Xiang Yushan, Lv Yuan, and others finally dispersed the poison smoke, they looked around only to find that Lan Xiaodie, Shi Feiyang, Yang Xue'Er, Lu Hongye, Shi Xiong, and others were nowhere to be seen.

Their gaze fell upon the bodies scattered across the ground, blood flowing freely on the floor, pooling into small puddles that had reached ankle height.

Kang Fusheng, enraged and red-faced, sweat dripping from his forehead, kicked over a table beside him and shouted, "Lan Xiaodie, you demoness! You fancy Shi Feiyang, that boy, and rescued him! I swear I'll tear you to pieces!"

Zhong Renwang was seriously injured; upon hearing Kang Fusheng's words and thinking of Lan Xiaodie's betrayal, his fury caused him to cough up blood. His vision blurred, his body swayed, and with a thud, he collapsed in the pool of blood.

His body trembled slightly in the blood, expressing his unwillingness and anger.

Xie Zhichuan looked pale as paper, eyes red, and upon hearing Kang Fusheng's curse, his vision darkened, his blood pressure soared.

His body shook, hands covering his eyes, as his vision grew increasingly blurred, his heart filled with rage and despair reaching its peak.

He hadn't expected that the situation, seemingly under control, failed due to Lan Xiaodie's interference.

Dugu Yan stood by, his expression terrifyingly gloomy. His fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

Thinking about all the funds and supplies he provided to the Five Poison Sect to deal with Shi Feiyang, only to achieve nothing, his heart was filled with regret and anger.

He looked at the empty battleground, muttering to himself, "Lan Xiaodie, why did you do this to me..."

His voice was filled with despair and unwillingness.

Shi Feiyang bolted out of the Famous Duck Shop, like a black lightning.

His gaze was firm, and he decisively carried Lu Hongye, gently and strongly, as if cradling the world's most precious treasure.

Then, he extended his long arm and gently wrapped it around Yang Xue'Er, who leaned against him, her eyes full of trust and dependence.

Shi Feiyang also reached out and tightly held onto Shi Xiong.

Shi Xiong's youthful face showed a bit of anxiety, but being held by Shi Feiyang gave him a bit more courage.

Lan Xiaodie moved gracefully, like a butterfly in the night, leading the way ahead.

As she ran swiftly, her hands occasionally flicked out, releasing clusters of poison smoke.

That poison smoke was an inky green, like bizarre blooming flowers spreading quickly, filling the air with a pungent smell.

The surrounding Jinyi Guards felt their vision instantly turn dark as if plunged into an abyss of endless darkness, unable to see anything.

Then, a strong sense of dizziness overwhelmed them.

Their bodies began to sway, unable to stand upright, collapsing to the ground with thuds, losing consciousness.

Seizing the chaotic moment, Shi Feiyang and others used Lightweight Technique, soaring like a flock of birds, fleeing the Capital.

Their figures under the moonlight appeared particularly nimble, and in an instant, they arrived in the suburbs.

The air in the suburbs was fresh, starkly contrasting the bloody and oppressive atmosphere inside the Capital.

Shi Feiyang gently put down Lu Hongye, tidied his clothes, and quickly walked to Lan Xiaodie, his hands cupped in gratitude, bowing deeply, sincerely saying, "Miss Lan, I am immensely grateful for your help today. Without you, we would have found it difficult to escape."

At this time, Yang Xue'Er, Shi Xiong, and Lu Hongye stood to the side, filled with confusion.

Yang Xue'Er furrowed her brows slightly, pondering to herself: This Lan Xiaodie is notorious for her poison, and her actions have often been criticized by the Jianghu people. Why did she suddenly come to aid Shi Lang today? Does she have another agenda?

Lu Hongye lightly bit her lip, her gaze fixed on Lan Xiaodie, her heart similarly puzzled: She has a grudge with my Shi Lang but rescued him at this crucial moment—what's the hidden story here?

Though young, Shi Xiong was clever.

He scratched his head, musing: This Sister Lan doesn't look like a good person, why would she help us?

However, since Shi Feiyang was thanking Lan Xiaodie, they weren't inclined to interrupt, quietly observing Lan Xiaodhie's every move. Lan Xiaodie heard Shi Feiyang's gratitude, her expression briefly complex but quickly returned to indifference.

She slightly raised her head, her eyes showing a trace of stubbornness, coldly saying, "Shi Feiyang, don't get the wrong idea. I saved you not out of any liking for you. I didn't want you to die so easily at someone else's hands—I want to kill you myself to avenge my father! Hmph! You saved me at the Northwest Wu Clan Underground Palace exit, and today I've repaid that favor. From now on, we'll settle our old and new scores; I will take your life!" With that, she lightly tapped the ground with her toes, her figure floating away like a wisp of smoke, leaving only a gradually fading silhouette.

Shi Feiyang watched the direction of Lan Xiaodie's departure, his brows slightly furrowed, pondering to himself: This Lan Xiaodie speaks of wanting to kill me yet assists at critical moments—her intentions are truly hard to fathom.

Yang Xue'Er approached, gently taking Shi Feiyang's hand, saying, "Shi Lang, Lan Xiaodie's behavior is too strange; it's best to be cautious." Lu Hongye nodded, saying, "Indeed, Shi Lang, her words cannot be entirely trusted."
