Chapter 698: Yiren

"It appears we have another mortal who does not know her place!"

Curisa did not evade the attack and instead calmly countered it with a thrust of his palm.

BAM!

Their two palms met and in a deafening explosion. Like Jin Gang, Fu Yiren was thrown back and landed near Xiao Luo. She convulsed from the pain and vomited blood.

Shocked and traumatized, Su Li felt disoriented, for everything she had seen tonight turned her world upside down.

Who are these people, and where are they from?

How is it that every one of them be skilled in kung fu? Is there was a hidden side of the world that remains unknown to the common people?

Who is her husband, Xiao Luo? What's his actual identity? Why is he so powerful and where did he find friends like these?

Her mind was inundated with a host of questions, and she couldn't help feeling like she'd found herself in an alien world. Everything just seemed unfamiliar, and it was certainly not the world she knew.

Curisa snapped, "How could a mere firefly even dream of competing to outshine the magnificent moon? No matter how many of you mortals come, none of you can match me. In my eyes, all of you are…"

He stopped speaking abruptly when he realized that something was affecting the True Inner Force in his body. He flipped his palm over and realized that it had turned black—he had been poisoned! His eyes widened in horror as he realized deadly toxins from his palm were surging through his body. His right arm now felt numbed and painful.

"The Poison Body?"

The man in white mumbled and stared at Fu Yiren with a look of shock, and muttered, "So, the Poison Body did not disappear after all, but it had escaped to this world."

But, as quickly as it surprised him at first, his expression returned to normal, and he continued to watch impassively. He was momentarily caught off guard the moment he recognized the Poison Body, but it did not terrify him, nor did it require him to take any urgent action.

Curisa felt that the True Inner Power in his body thrashing around from the poison, which both surprised and angered him.

"You poisoned me?" He stared at Fu Yiren furiously, unable to contain his anger.

"Cut the crap! You have hurt the man that I care for, and I would even bite you to death if I had to, let alone poison you!"

Fu Yiren was also seething, for she saw Curisa had broken Xiao Luo's hand and leg, and she instantly lost her head. Perhaps her affectionate words for Xiao Luo had initially been jokes, but when Xiao Luo went all the way to the Ri nation to save her from the genetic research base, she fell in love with him. And whoever hurt Xiao Luo was automatically her enemy.

She had activated her Poison Body to its maximum capacity and was covered in a cloud of poisonous purple gas. Her eyes took on an eerie green, and the purple gas around her was extremely corrosive, killing living things on contact. The flowers and grasses close to her wilted and turned to dust.

"Gulp!"

Jin Gang swallowed his saliva with much difficulty, as this was the first time he had seen Lady Poison giving her everything she had in a fight. She was truly terrifying and indeed the most dangerous member of the NSA.

"Hiyah!"

Fu Yiren yelled and thrust out her palm as she directed her internal energy toward Curisa. It surges toward him like a tsunami, sending a gigantic cloud of poisonous gas at him like a typhoon.

Curisa took extreme caution against Fu Yiren, as she was completely covered in poison. The people of the Light Clan were born with perfect physical attributes for martial arts, but this did not mean that they were immune to the effects of poison. Fu Yiren rushed in to engage in close-quarter combat, and Curisa was forced to keep evading her attacks.

Because of his speed, Curisa had absolute mastery over Fu Yiren and rendered her attacks useless. He dodged and swiveled around her playfully as if he was mocking her.

"Woman, you better stop now. I do not wish to kill you!" Curisa coaxed Fu Yiren.

Fu Yiren continued attacking defiantly, as all she wanted to do was to avenge Xiao Luo by taking Curisa's life. In her raging anger, her movements became more extravagant and swifter, and they were difficult to read. In that way, she posed a greater threat to Curisa. Her relentless attacks soon got through Curisa's defense, as he started getting a little careless. Fu Yiren's claw-hand struck him on his chest, leaving three deep lacerations appeared on his chest, and immediately the poison turned his blood black.

The strike provoked Curisa.

"You bitch… Die!"

He roared and released a powerful burst of internal energy. Before Fu Yiren could react, Curisa instantly grabbed her by the throat in a firm choke-hold.

Curisa clenched his teeth as he clasped Fu Yiren's neck and slammed her to the ground.

BOOM!

The impact created an enormous hole as sand and debris were thrown up in the air.

After the heavy blow, blood oozed out from Fu Yiren's mouth and nose. Curisa pulled her up and tossed her in the air. Then he thrust his palm into her chest as she landed.

"Arrgh!"

Fu Yiren grunted and flew back like a cannonball.

Jin Gang wanted to catch her, but he could not move a muscle. He had lost control of his body after the last exchange with Curisa, and could only stare as Fu Yiren flew past him.

"Fu Yiren!"

Xiao Luo cried with a tremble in his voice. Using every last ounce of strength he had, Xiao Luo launched himself in Fu Yiren's direction using only his left hand and right leg. He managed to reach her and used his own body to cushion her fall.

CRASH!

They both landed hard on the ground and continued tumbling for some distance. Fu Yiren was lying on top of Xiao Luo facing him. Her stunning face was pale from the loss of blood, and the blow from Curisa was lethal. He had struck her with his palm in anger.

"Fu Yiren, are you… are you okay? Answer me."

Xiao Luo looked at her anxiously as he was well aware of the power of Curisa's palm strike. Even he could not take it, so what more Fu Yiren?

"I'm fine. I'm Lady Poison of the NSA. How can I be hurt."

Fu Yiren forced a smile. For that moment, she looked radiant and beautiful, yet forlorn. "Mie, you've finally given in to me. I'm in your arms now, and you can't push me away anymore."

As she was speaking, she vomited out more blood, and immediately, her face turned pale, her eyes lost their focus, and her eyelids grew heavier.

Xiao Luo recalled everything that had happened between them in vivid detail, and a deep sadness overcame him.

"Xiao Luo, it's getting late, I… I'm so sleepy, I want to go to sleep now. Mie, Let me rest my head on your chest. I'm going to sleep for a while, just for a while…"

Fu Yiren smiled and leaned on Xiao Luo's chest. She felt sleepy and began to shut her eyes.

"Don't sleep… Wake up, don't sleep!" Xiao Luo cried hysterically.

Fu Yiren did not react to him, for she had fallen asleep in his arms like a sleeping beauty. But the blood streaming from the corner of her mouth and her pale face told him she was not sleeping.

"Fu Yiren, Fu Yiren…"

Xiao Luo tried to wake her up, but his voice grew fainter. In his heart, he still hoped and remained calm as tears flowed from his eyes. He refused to accept that she was gone.

You are going to sleep just like that?

I have not permitted you to sleep! Why have you gone to sleep?

He might not have loved this woman, but he had to admit that he once had feelings for her. When they were in that car in the Ri nation, she had said that she was willing to do it with him.
