Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Although Liu couldn’t use his internal strength, he still caught Long easily and didn’t let him fall to the ground.

Zhou laughed and then rushed to them.

Just then, Liu moved his hand and the hidden weapon in his hair finally came out…

“Shadowless Needle!” Liu said in a low voice.

If Liu’s internal strength wasn’t sealed, the needle would be more effective!

It seemed that it was just a small needle, but there was something hidden inside.

In fact, there were dozens of finer silver needles hidden in that small needle and each of them was highly toxic. Anyone who touched them would be paralyzed instantly and be poisoned to death in a quarter of an hour.

Of course, there was an antidote to this poison.

While Zhou was approaching, Liu threw the lethal needle at the critical moment.

“Ah! What the hell is that?” Zhou immediately found that and reacted. He dodged and used his soft sword to avoid that.

With the soft sword, Zhou avoided more than twenty needles, but there were still three that touched his body.

Two needles went through his sleeve and touched a little of his skin. The other one went directly to his chest.

Zhou screamed. The cave was not high, so he couldn’t jump too high even if he could do great martial arts. That was why he got injured.

As Zhou was screaming, Liu rushed over and quickly took out a dagger from his waist.

The dagger was black and looked strange, but Liu seemed to know its function. He turned around and cut the silver wire on his legs. Then, the silver wire was broken.

The next moment, Liu cut the silver wire on Long’s legs and Long got free, too.

Song was staying outside. Hearing the sounds, she ran into the room.

Everything happened so fast. Liu hurt that womanizer and freed themselves just in a few seconds.

Long even hadn’t realized it.

At this time, Song finally entered the room.

Liu took advantage of the characteristics of his Shadowless Needle and captured Zhou.

“He has only a quarter of an hour to live. The antidote was on me, but you took it away. If you let us go, I’ll give him back to you,” Liu said calmly.

Although his internal strength was sealed, he could still act quickly and he looked very calm.

Song’s eyes widened in anger. “You’re daydreaming!”

“Then we’ll die together!” Liu said at once.

“Haha.” Song laughed. “Die together? The emperor is also here. Do you dare to make him die with us? It’s fine by me. Anyways, I have nothing to do with this man.”

Liu frowned. He had already thought that the womanizer might not be used to threaten Song!

Just then, Zhou, who screamed earlier, opened his mouth.

“Bitch, if I’m killed, you’ll be the next one. You can defeat me, but can you defeat my brother? If I die, he’ll surely kill you! Listen to him and let them go first. Don’t forget where this is. They won’t escape.”

Song was slightly stunned. She frowned and thought about it. As a decisive person, she nodded soon.

“Okay, I will let you go, but if you dare to kill him, you will be buried with him!”

Hearing that, Liu immediately said, “Okay. Move back.”

Song sneered and then really retreated.

“Follow me. Watch out for their tricks.” Liu said to Long gently.

Long nodded at once. “I know.”

Liu did not rush to the exit, but said, “Was my internal strength sealed by you?”

Zhou didn’t want to speak at first, but as Liu put the black dagger on his neck, he immediately said, “Yes, that method is unique. If you want to regain it now, you can only rely on me. No one else can do it. But it’ll also recover automatically in a month.”

“Oh?” Liu narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out whether he was telling the truth.

“Believe it or not.”

After thinking for two seconds, Liu grabbed hold of Zhou and went outside.

It turned out that this cave was in the air!

It was no exaggeration to say so.

This cave was really in the air! And there was a miasma down there.

Once they got outside, Liu frowned.

Song smiled and said in a cold voice, “I wonder how you can leave here.”

To get to the cave on the hillside from below, one could only rely on his martial arts. Long and Liu must have been brought up in this way. Naturally, they could only use martial arts to leave here.

Although it was in the air, there were many bumps on the rocks, which could help people jump down easily. However, without internal strength, no one could leave here safely. The mountain was so steep that they would surely die if they fell down!

“Is there any other ways to leave here?” Liu asked Zhou in a deep voice.

Liu knew Zhou was very afraid of death, so Liu asked him.

Zhou didn’t answer. Then, Liu threatened him again with the dagger and said coldly, “Time is running out. Do you want to be poisoned to death?”

Zhou’s face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, “Walk backwards. There is a path over there and below is Songye River. If you are not afraid of death, you can jump down and the current of the water will certainly take you out.”

Liu frowned. He knew that Songye River was the biggest river outside Songye city, which meant that they were no longer in the city.

Right. There was really no such place in Songye city.

“Let’s go to have a look,” Long said.

Liu nodded, because they didn’t have many other choices. They could never escape if they chose that way earlier. As long as they lost control of Zhou, Song would surely kill them!

They couldn’t do any martial arts at this moment. If they were caught by Song, they would definitely die.

Moreover, Zhou couldn’t protect them forever.

Having been hurt by the Shadowless Needle, Zhou could only live for a quarter of an hour. By then, Zhou would still die if they didn’t let him go. If Zhou was dead, Song would kill them immediately.

Shi and the Shadow Guardians hadn’t found them, so they had no one to rely on.

Therefore, they couldn’t take any risks!

At the back of the cave was the path Zhou mentioned. Long took the lead and Liu seized Zhou on both sides by the arms as walking backwards. In this way, he could watch Song closely.

Song sneered and didn’t plan to take action at this moment.

She kept following them… wanting to see if these two men really had the courage to jump down!
