My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 583 - 578 Su Xuan Poisoned

Su Xuan caught the assassin Qiuyue in the maze and found out that the medicine given to Li Yuanyuan was only intended to slow down the progress of her illness. Even Qiuyue herself did not have the real antidote; she said that only the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus could save Li Yuanyuan.

And it was the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus that Su Xuan had come to Qiutian City to find.

"Since I’ve already told you everything, you should let me go now,"

Qiuyue stated calmly.

"Let you go? In your dreams."

How could Su Xuan let Qiuyue go after she had set up this trap? "If you don’t have the antidote and still dare to poison others, what kind of heart do you have?"

"Once I decided to kill, I never thought about turning back. Of course, today was a mistake. I didn’t expect the one running in front to be a girl." Su Xuan felt bouts of self-reproach. If he hadn’t questioned the truth of the matter, it would have been him running ahead of Li Yuanyuan, and perhaps she wouldn’t have been poisoned.

Su Xuan gripped even tighter, his hand strength suddenly increasing. Assassin Qiuyue struggled, but her lips didn’t utter a single word of complaint.

Su Xuan told Tang Tiantian to help Teacher Li out, while he led Qiuyue ahead.

This assassin indeed had some kung fu skills. When Su Xuan looked back at Li Yuanyuan, Qiuyue actually managed to break free.

"Be careful!"

Su Xuan warned the two behind him, fearing that Qiuyue still had some kind of hidden weapon. Since Su Xuan and Qiuyue were walking side by side, with Su Xuan stepping half a pace ahead, Qiuyue could only escape by moving backward, not forward. Su Xuan was already half a step in the lead, so capturing her wouldn’t be difficult.

Su Xuan saw the direction in which Qiuyue fled, right back into the Eight Trigrams Array. Su Xuan had always held little regard for such child’s play, and now catching Qiuyue inside it seemed like a piece of cake.

Su Xuan instructed Tang Tiantian to take Teacher Li away first, to find a hospital and start recuperating. They couldn’t afford to be disturbed for the next week.

After giving these instructions, Su Xuan turned and chased after Qiuyue. If he couldn’t catch her, it would be a disgrace to his training under Military God.

Su Xuan moved swiftly since he was well acquainted with the Eight Trigrams Array, which made the search much easier. The only fear was Qiuyue’s hidden weapon—the poison dart could cause serious harm if it hit.

While Su Xuan was searching, he received a call from Li Yuanyuan. As she had taken the weakening potion, she now seemed just a bit frail.

She said to Su Xuan, "It’s too dangerous. Come back now. We should just focus on finding the antidote, and forget about the rest."

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

After saying this, Su Xuan hung up the phone but didn’t stop chasing Qiuyue for a moment. Not avenging this would mean he lived in vain. The humiliation of being outplayed by a woman was unbearable. Once he caught her, he would subject her to a harsh punishment to settle his grudge.

As for the methods of venting his anger, Su Xuan already had many ideas in mind. Damn it, first he’d strip her of her clothes, humiliate her, and see what this cold-looking woman was really made of inside—whether it was a mountain of knives or a mix of ice and fire, Su Xuan was determined to find out.

If Qiuyue had fled forward, she might have had a chance, but she ran back into the Eight Trigrams Array and even she couldn’t figure out which way led out. She just knew she had hidden weapons; if Su Xuan dared to approach carelessly, she would shoot him with a poison dart.

In truth, Qiuyue’s martial arts weren’t bad; it’s just that she was more adept at using poison. Using poison wasn’t a matter of brute strength, and gradually she grew to prefer it.

What Su Xuan needed to do now was pay extra attention to the opponent’s Flying Knife, which was coated with deadly poison.

Su Xuan remained vigilant to his surroundings, constantly advancing. He knew Qiuyue wouldn’t escape the area, and his senses—even a kind of sixth sense—told him she hadn’t gone far and was nearby.

If you were to talk about the Bagua Diagram, Su Xuan was a hundred times more familiar with it than Qiuyue. As a child, Su Xuan’s toys included setting up the Bagua Diagram, playing with Military God.

"Hey, I see you. Come on out."

Su Xuan was bluffing. He hadn’t actually seen her but sensed she was close by.

He walked on, repeating his claim.

Indeed, Su Xuan’s words had an effect; he heard someone moving on his right side.

"Ha, trying to play with me? I’ll play you to death!"

Su Xuan quickly chased after her, now closer than ever, even catching glimpses of Qiuyue’s shadow flickering under the dim lights as she fled.

This time, Su Xuan was smarter. Since the Eight Trigrams Array led back to the starting point, he simply stopped and stood his ground, waiting for the prey to come to him.

"Hi, running quite joyfully, aren’t you? Still want to run?"

Su Xuan stood ahead and asked with a smile.

"You... How can you be in front? Shouldn’t you be behind me?"

"If you understood this principle, you wouldn’t have fallen into my hands. Now, I’ll give you two options. The first is to commit suicide, and the second is to follow me in search of the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. Only after finding the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and curing Teacher Li’s illness will I consider whether to kill you or not,"

"Haha..."

Unexpectedly, Qiuyue actually laughed. Her laugh was as serene as still water, and it didn’t seem feigned as she said, "Do you really think the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus is that easy to find? Let me give you a piece of advice, give up on that idea."

Su Xuan was a stubborn kid. The more you said something was impossible, the more he insisted it was possible.

"Whether I can find it or not, I must take you with me. If we truly can’t find it, you’ll have to join Teacher Li in death!"

Su Xuan’s voice was firm and resolute as he spoke.

Qiuyue seemed to have long become indifferent to life and death, and she casually said to Su Xuan, "If you catch me, you can do whatever you want. If you can’t, then you’re just talking nonsense."

Su Xuan really got angry. Damn it, how could his noble dignity be challenged by such a lowly woman? He was determined to take her down.

At such close range, since Qiuyue’s flying knives were all hidden in her brocade bag, they were hard to retrieve, and the two could only engage in a real fight that tested their physical skills.

Although Qiuyue was not as skilled in hand-to-hand combat as she was with poisons, she also came from a background in physical martial arts. In her younger years, Qiuyue faced a forced marriage in her northern hometown. One night, she forcibly killed her groom and several relatives with a knife. From that moment on, she began practicing kung fu, visiting famous masters in various places, hoping to one day master her skills.

Now facing Su Xuan, who himself had been through life and death situations and followed the Military God in a life of nothing but cultivation, how could one not see that Su Xuan’s eyes would widen at the sight of a woman, shining brightly with hunger after being starved for too long by the Military God’s side?

Whoosh!

Qiuyue took the initiative to attack. Her martial arts skills were still there, just not often shown. Previously, Su Xuan had caught her off-guard by seizing her shoulder, which is the only reason he managed to capture her. But now, the situation was different.

Qiuyue threw a kick that seemed common, but it concealed a lethal threat. It was unclear whether the move was solid or a feint, or if she had Poison Needles hidden in her shoe — all things Su Xuan needed to be wary of.

Su Xuan dodged cautiously, unsure of the reality of her feints and not daring to directly counter them, assuming a defensive stance until he could determine her stability before counterattacking.

Indeed, once Su Xuan saw that the opponent didn’t have any threatening moves, he grew bolder and dared to directly block her solid attacks.

Thump, thump, thump!

Su Xuan’s body collided fiercely with Qiuyue’s. In terms of physical fitness, Su Xuan had a significant advantage. After all, Qiuyue was a woman, and it was difficult for her to match a man’s overall physical prowess.

After a few exchanges, Qiuyue was already at a disadvantage, panting heavily with her footwork in disarray, showing signs of defeat.

Seeing this, Su Xuan got even more excited, fighting more fiercely as the battle progressed.

Qiuyue seemed immersed in the battle, not even noticing her clothes tearing, or if she did, she was too busy to care.

Boom!

Su Xuan’s Xingyi Fist was practiced with fiery passion. Ordinary assassins were no match for him, and Qiuyue was no exception. Now, Su Xuan could confidently say he could subdue her within three rounds.

Crack!

As Su Xuan gained the upper hand, he also paid a greater price!

By the time Su Xuan realized it was too late, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Qiuyue fired three Flying Knives in succession. As an expert with flying knives, she knew the direction people would dodge. Two of the knives were even aimed where people were likely to run, and it was because of this that Su Xuan, due to his lust, had made a significant misjudgment!

Seeing that Su Xuan had been hit and that his body was bleeding, Qiuyue was certain that this time she hadn’t hit a coin, but had actually struck Su Xuan himself.

"You’re ruthless, a terribly poisonous woman!"

Su Xuan cursed.

Su Xuan was not like Li Yuanyuan, a person untrained in martial arts. His physical condition was quite robust, and there was not even a slight decrease in his strength after being struck by the Flying Knife.

Su Xuan knew he had to take her down before the poison symptoms kicked in, or else things would become difficult.

Crack!

With sudden force, Su Xuan grabbed Qiuyue’s arm. She tried to struggle, but Su Xuan leaned his body in and wrapped his other arm around her waist from behind, a very Rogue-like move, but also the most effective.

"Thinking I would lose is not that easy,"
