Chapter 218 Laboratory Crisis (1)
Yun Mengting stared at Shen Yuke's smug expression, her anger blazing like a raging fire. Yet, she knew she had to suppress her emotions and remain calm. She quietly glanced at Ling Xiao and Li Qing, and the three of them immediately followed her plan.
Yun Mengting rushed towards Shen Yuke like an arrow from a bow, unleashing her exquisite medical skills. Her seemingly fierce attack was actually a feint, intended to draw Shen Yuke's full attention. As expected, Shen Yuke fell for it. With a graceful, dodging movement, she swiftly dodged Yun Mengting's attack, while shrilly directing her assistants to attack Ling Xiao and Li Qing.
Ling Xiao wielded his sword, its shadowy shadows shimmering like a dragon emerging from the sea, each strike imbued with a powerful and majestic aura. His guards, working in close coordination, engaged in a thrilling, desperate struggle with Shen Yuke's assistants. The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the laboratory, sparks flying like fireworks in the night sky. Taking advantage of the chaos, Li Qing, like a ghost, quietly circled towards the experimental materials. His nimble movements deftly weaved through the gaps between the combatants.
A gripping life-or-death duel unfolded between Yun Mengting and Shen Yuke. Yun Mengting cried out, "Shen Yuke, how long do you think your scheme will succeed? Your actions will ultimately be condemned by Heaven, and will be revealed to the world." Shen Yuke coldly replied, "Yun Mengting, please take care of yourself first. Today is your death." With that, she drew a gleaming dagger from her sleeve and thrust it at Yun Mengting like a venomous snake. Yun Mengting swung her slender waist, dodging to the side, her delicate hand darting out to seize Shen Yuke's wrist and wrest the deadly dagger from her grasp. Both possessed exceptional agility, and for a moment, the difference between the two was almost undetermined.
In the heat of the battle, Yun Mengting glimpsed Li Qing approaching the experimental materials. However, one of Shen Yuke's trusted assistants also sensed Li Qing's intentions and pounced on him like a hungry tiger. Yun Mengting, anxious, deliberately left her arm vulnerable, allowing Shen Yuke's dagger to slash her arm. Seizing the momentum, she launched a powerful kick, striking Shen Yuke in the stomach like a sledgehammer. Shen Yuke stumbled back in pain. Seizing the opportunity, Yun Mengting rushed towards the assistant attacking Li Qing. With a flick of her finger, a slender silver needle appeared, unseen. She pierced the assistant's acupuncture point with unerring precision, sending him collapsing to the ground as if struck by lightning.
Ling Xiao, outnumbered but undaunted, displayed unparalleled swordsmanship, each swing of his blade driving back several enemies. But Shen Yuke's assistants were equally fierce and tenacious, recklessly charging forward regardless of casualties. Ling Xiao's eyes widened as he bellowed, "Li Qing, hurry!" Li Qing, hearing the shout, quickened his pace and finally reached the experimental materials. Just as he was about to destroy them, he was shocked to see they were protected by a strange formation.
Li Qing's brows furrowed as he studied the formation with rapt attention. He had dabbled in these techniques since childhood, and now he was concentrating on finding a way to break them. Meanwhile, the battle between Yun Mengting and Shen Yuke intensified. Blood oozed from Yun Mengting's wounds, but she remained oblivious, her single-minded focus focused on stopping Shen Yuke's scheme. Shen Yuke, seeing her attack failing, grew increasingly impatient. She suddenly pulled a pill from her bosom and swallowed it. Instantly, her breathing became erratic, but her strength surged.
She rushed at Yun Mengting again like a madman, her speed and strength far surpassing those of before. Yun Mengting felt a surge of overwhelming pressure, yet she showed no sign of retreat. She secretly gathered her inner Qi, unleashing her family's unique skills, and engaged Shen Yuke in a thrilling, life-or-death struggle. Their figures crisscrossed the laboratory, pulverizing the surrounding tables, chairs, and utensils in their powerful force.
Ling Xiao, seeing Yun Mengting in dire straits, was consumed with anxiety. He attempted to rush to her aid, but was relentlessly entangled by Shen Yuke's assistants. His hair stood on end in fury, and he roared heavenward. His swordsmanship suddenly shifted, unleashing a series of fierce and devastating moves that instantly pushed the surrounding enemies back several steps. He seized the opportunity to break free from their clutches and, like a cheetah, sprinted towards Yun Mengting.
At this point, Li Qing finally found a flaw in the formation and successfully cracked it. Just as he was about to raise his arm to destroy the experimental materials, one of Shen Yuke's personal maids appeared like a ghost, wielding a poisoned needle and stabbing Li Qing. Li Qing couldn't dodge, and the needle pierced his arm, sending a wave of numbness through his body. But he gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain. With his free hand, he grabbed a nearby hammer and smashed it down on the experimental materials.
With a deafening bang, the experimental materials were smashed to pieces. Shen Yuke's face paled at the sound. She desperately tried to rush towards Li Qing, but Yun Mengting stopped her. Yun Mengting said in a deep voice, "Shen Yuke, your plot has failed." Shen Yuke, like a madman, screamed, "You've destroyed everything I have. I will not let you off easily!" Her eyes were filled with hatred and despair, and she looked like a mad beast without reason.
Ling Xiao rushed to Yun Mengting's side. He looked at the injured Yun Mengting, his heartache evident. He asked with concern, "Ting'er, how are you?" Yun Mengting shook her head slightly, saying, "I'm fine. As long as we stop her, everything will be fine." Li Qing also struggled to move forward. He said weakly, "The experimental materials for the Spiritual Pill have been destroyed. She can't cause any more trouble for the time being."
However, none of them realized that Shen Yuke had a trick up her sleeve. She had hidden a backup supply of experimental materials in a secret compartment in her lab. Though the quantity was small, it was enough to allow her to continue some of her experiments. Taking advantage of Yun Mengting and the others' inattention, she quietly moved towards the compartment. Suddenly, a chaotic clatter of footsteps could be heard outside the lab, as if a large group of people were rushing towards them...
