Feng Ning Yan was lying on the ground, and before she could react, she heard the terrifying sound of a sharp weapon piercing through someone's body.

The scalding and viscous blood flowed along the blade and sprayed onto her face, causing her to subconsciously close her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that Jing Qi was desperately bowing his back and that arrow that was as thick as an arm had already pierced through his right shoulder!

The bloody arrow was less than a fist's distance away from Feng Ningyan's left chest!

Jing Qi looked at the distance of the punch and smiled with relief, "Royal Concubine …" Nothing … "Jingqi will not disappoint you, your highness …" As he spoke, he fell to the ground.

"Jingqi!" Feng Ning Yan grabbed Jing Qi's body and looked at his wounds that were quickly turning black. She shouted as she was at a loss of what to do.

That arrow was smeared with poison. Even if it wasn't poisoned, with such a large wound, Jing Qi would still lose a lot of blood and die very quickly.

"I don't want you to save me! I don't want you to save me! "

Feng Ningyan did not dare to pull out the arrow, nor did she know how to save Jingqi. She hugged him while trembling from head to toe, continuously shouting these words.

"Jingqi …"

Upon seeing this, Shen Ling Jue's face turned pale white, he quickly cut off the last few incoming crossbow bolts, and immediately pounced forward, half-kneeling on the ground, helping Jing Qi up.

A sliver of black blood flowed out of Jing Qi's mouth and his eyes gradually became blurry, "Your Highness …." Let go... "All of you, quickly leave …"

However, Shen Ling Jue ignored him, and shouted towards Feng Ning Yan, "Quick, there's a Yun An Pill inside his jacket!"

"Yes sir!" When Feng Ning Yan heard these words, she suddenly became clear-headed. She hastily opened up the front of Jing Qi's shirt and took out a small bottle of medicine. She poured out a pill and stuffed it into Jing Qi's mouth.

The Yun An Pill was made by the Southern Wilderness' Miao Doctor. It could suppress multiple types of poisons, and could even suppress Gu poison for a few days.

Although he didn't know what poison was on the crossbow, he had no other choice.

But Jing Qi was coughing up blood and the blood was flowing out of his nose, so he couldn't swallow it.

Shen Ling Jue was pained to the extreme and hastily pressed a few acupoints on his neck. Firstly, he sealed his vital points, preventing the poison from spreading too quickly, and secondly, it caused him to swallow.

Jing Qi's throat moved up and down a few times before he finally swallowed the pill. However, the arrow was still on his shoulder, making him twitch in pain.

Shen Ling Jue's hand was behind him, but he could feel blood flowing out. With such a speed of blood, he did not dare to pull out the crossbow. If this goes on, Jing Qi will die from the poison, and not from the poison.

Feng Ning Yan grasped the handle of the arrow on Jing Qi's back with one hand and cut off the long arrow, hoping to ease the pain.

Seeing that the crossbows were useless, the assassins who had just retreated once again surrounded him like bloodthirsty wolves.

Pei Shi looked at the crossbow bolts that fell to the ground, gritting his teeth in anger. He pulled out the hidden weapon hidden behind his waist, aimed at Shen Ling Jue, and pulled down the trigger.

Just as Feng Ning Yan was about to place the Yun An Hundred Destructions Pill in her chest to block the incoming killer, she suddenly heard a sharp sound of wind piercing through the sky. She knew that the situation wasn't good and quickly moved to block in front of Shen Ling Jue.

Shen Lingjue saw that Jing Qi's pupils were already slowly dissipating. Although he was in extreme grief, his ability to discern the facial features was not affected by his emotions. He could clearly hear the sound of the concealed weapon breaking the wind.

Seeing Feng Ning Yan use her defensive weapon, he quickly put down Jing Qi and shot out, "Dodge!"

However, that concealed weapon was too swift. His flying sword just barely brushed past the concealed weapon's side, but it didn't stop it from continuing to shoot.

With this single touch, the concealed weapon that was supposed to be aimed at Feng Ningyan's chest suddenly changed its trajectory, and shot instead towards her shoulder.

Feng Ning Yan tried to dodge to the side, but she wasn't as fast as her concealed weapon. With a muffled "pu" sound, the concealed weapon had already pierced her shoulder.

She suddenly felt a tearing pain. She knew that the "petals" of the hidden weapon were already opening up, expanding the wound. This meant that the poison sac in the middle of the wound that could seal one's throat had also ruptured.

Her mind was blank, and she was knocked backward by the force of the hidden weapons.

Shen Lingjue never thought that even this attack would not be able to stop the hidden weapon from injuring Feng Ning Yan. Seeing her shoulder being hit, he was momentarily unable to catch his breath, and rushed forward to catch Feng Ning Yan.

Within the hole in her clothes, there was a soya sized wound, but within the wound, a sliver of black venom could be seen spreading outwards.

"Yan'Er!"

He had never been so frightened before. Even when he was poking at her acupoints to delay the spread of the poison, his fingers were trembling.

"A bit... "It hurts …" Feng Ning Yan fell into Shen Ling Jue's embrace, her lips curled up into a smile, but she only consoled him, "Just like a bee that stung, it's nothing much …"

"Don't say anything …"

Shen Ling Jue saw that she was obviously poisoned, yet he still consoled him like this. His heart ached even more, and he wished that he could immediately kill Pei Shi.

However, Jing Qi just consumed the Yun An Hundred Dissolution Pill and her injuries were very serious. Seeing the deadly poison in Feng Ning Yan's throat, Shen Ling Jue didn't dare to leave even one step.

He raised his palm and pressed it against Feng Ningyan's back, secretly exerting his strength. His deep inner force penetrated through Feng Ningyan's shoulder and forcefully shot out that concealed weapon.

Subsequently, he took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and stuffed it into Feng Ning Yan's mouth. He whispered softly into her ear, "Yan'Er, endure for a moment …"

With that said, he had already pulled out the dagger from his boot, accurately slicing towards Feng Ningyan's wound.

It wasn't deep nor shallow. With a light spin, the blackened flesh and blood on her shoulder was sucked away …

Mm …" "Feng Ning Yan bit the handkerchief tightly, and was ready to receive the pain. However, without the hemp powder, she was able to cut off a piece of flesh. The pain made her body violently tremble, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down her face like raindrops …

When the brocade handkerchief fell from her mouth, Shen Lingjue quickly took out the Yun An Pill.

"Eat it!"

Just as Feng Ning Yan was about to raise her head to open her mouth, she saw five to six killers simultaneously stabbing towards her from behind Shen Ling Jue.

"Get out of the way!"

Shen Ling Jue's internal energy is profound, so even if his back was facing the assassins, he still knows where they are attacking from, the location of the sword tip.

However, he did not move. Instead, he firmly held her and fed her the medicine.

He was well aware of how powerful the poison inside the concealed weapon was. Even if he were to dig out the flesh that had been corroded by the venom, he wouldn't be able to guarantee success. Feng Ning Yan had to take the antidote immediately.

Feng Ning Yan saw a sharp sword pierce through Shen Ling Jue's ribs, she was so shocked that her mouth was agape, she forgot to swallow the antidote, only bitterness was left in her throat.

"Ling Jue …"

She caught him, hot tears falling on the bloody tip of her sword.

Shen Ling Jue held her hand, gritting his teeth as he endured the tearing pain, saying in a low voice, "Yan'Er, do you still remember when the three of us went to Skeleton Island …"

When he suddenly said these words, it caused Feng Ningyan to be slightly stunned. "What did you say …"

"Well done! Kill them! " Pei Shi stood on the crossbow carriage and smiled sinisterly. "Your highness must be very happy to see the three of them die together like hedgehogs!"

The crossbow was once again filled with arrows, aimed at the three of them.
