Chapter 1273 Fight
Arielle gazed in the direction of the voice and spotted a man in camouflage military uniform muttering to himself as he glanced around.
If I’m not mistaken, he’s looking for me. I’m the only one around.
Frowning, she recalled the man’s words as her mind raced to analyze the situation.
Who hired this man to take my life? Unfortunately for him, it isn’t that easy to kill me.
Arching a brow, Arielle decided to take action.
The situation was in her favor as the enemy was in the open while she was in hiding. Thus, Arielle tiptoed silently to him and raised her arm to punch him. Alas, the man sensed her arrival as though he had eyes behind him and rolled away to dodge her attack.
“You’re quite capable, huh?” Arielle sneered and continued attacking him.
The man got to his feet and finally saw Arielle’s face. Her beautiful features entranced him for a second.
I haven’t touched any woman for three years. I can’t believe my first target after getting released from jail is a woman. A young, gorgeous, and wild one too. It’s a great deal!
Chuckling, he approached her at once.
“Young lady, you’re good at fighting. It’s a pity you ran into me. You’re no match for me.”
“Ha! It might be the other way around,” Arielle mocked.
She channeled all her strength to her fist and gave the man’s belly a forceful punch.
The man flew backward instantly. Before he could react, Arielle proceeded to beat him up.
The man was deft enough to roll aside after Arielle punched him a few times. He then scrambled to his feet and whipped out his weapon to stab Arielle.
The knife was mere inches away from Arielle when she dodged aside swiftly and grabbed the knife from him. She then slashed the knife across his arm. A deep cut appeared, and blood gushed out from the wound.
Without giving the man any breathing space, Arielle flipped her arm and stabbed the knife into the man’s calf. At once, the man collapsed to his knees before her.
With a kick from her, he toppled to the ground. Striding toward him, she pulled out the knife before stabbing him continuously over ten times.
The man bit back the pain when she first stabbed him, but the continuous attacks were too much for him to bear. His agonizing screams soon resonated around the mountain.
Afraid that he would retaliate, Arielle stabbed his body five more times, avoiding his vital parts.
“Tell me, who sent you after me?” she towered above him and posed that question icily.
Initially, the man planned to subdue Arielle and take advantage of her.
Now, he no longer had that thought.
The woman is fast and vicious. I’m no match for her. It’s clear that I’ve underestimated her.
“No one sent me here!” he insisted as his gaze darkened.
The sky was getting dark, and Arielle would lose her way if she were to depart any later.
As she didn’t want to run into danger later, she stopped questioning the man.
Someone must’ve given him the map. That’s why he could enter Mount Blackcloud and locate me easily. I need to bring him back so that the Mills can give me an explanation.
By then, the man had fainted from pain, and he was a bloody mess. Arielle used the knife to chop off some rattan to tie the man up. She then dragged him back as though he were a dead fish.
Back in Silverbirch Hospital.
The contestants returned one by one.
Their energy spent, they handed in their herbs and went to get some rest. Arielle was the only one who was still out there.
