The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 319 Escaping

Even up to this day, both Cian and Yong Liwei were on par as they fought each other. Things in the room kept breaking. Thirst for blood was seen in their eyes and it was during that time that they both knew this battle would be the last for them.

Every time the two clash, they would always land a hit at each other. Cian had to use the dagger he had against the other man. His blade slashed and arced about ferociously, attempting to carve a piece of his opponent's body. Without Yong Liwei's reflex and speed, he would have been stabbed already. It looked like a never-ending battle until Cian decided to play dirty. He changed his target to Lu Mengjie.

Yong Liwei was caught off-guard and was forced to dash to her to protect her from the other man. He aimed his knife at the woman in front of him.

Lu Mengjie couldn't move her feet on time to avoid the attack. In that dire moment, a shadow jumped in front of her and blocked the attack instead.

Visit for the best novel reading Cian had a menacing smirk on his face as he was finally able to bury his dagger in Yong Liwei's abdomen. "Finally, I caught you."

Yong Liwei's frown deepened as he glared at him. "Liwei!" The woman behind shouted in horror.

"Do you really think I'll hurt her?" He pulled out the knife from him, causing the other man to wobble.

Yong Liwei pressed his wound with his hand, trying to stop it from bleeding.

"Stop it! Don't kill him, Cian!" Lu Mengjie exclaimed as she rushed in between them to block Cian from her husband.

The sinister smile on Cian's lips disappeared as he said, "Move away, Mengjie."

"No!" She stubbornly shouted. "I-I'll do what you want just don't kill Liwei!" She could clearly see that with her husband's injury, he wouldn't be able to defeat Cian properly.

"Looks like they came just on time." Yong Liwei had contacted his men through his smartwatch, sending them the signal to attack. All he needed to do was to buy time for them to arrive.

"There's no need for that…" Yong Liwei said with a smirk on his lips. "He's already done for Mengjie."

Furrowing his brows, Cian looked at him in confusion. It was then at that moment that they heard a gunshot from outside.

"Looks like they came just on time." Yong Liwei had contacted his men through his smartwatch, sending them the signal to attack. All he needed to do was to buy time for them to arrive.

With gritted teeth, Cian grabbed Lu Mengjie's wrist. "We're leaving!" He pulled her to him but was stopped when Yong Liwei held her other hand.

"You're not leaving with her."

"You…" Cian knew that he had to leave if he didn't want to be caught but he just couldn't bring himself to run away when Lu Mengjie was just within his reach.

"You really are courting death!"

Once again, Cian attacked Yong Liwei, this time with the intent to kill him on the spot. He was done playing around. Only one of them was going to leave the room alive.

If she tried to interrupt them, she knew that she would only be a burden to her husband. Her presence was a nuisance just like earlier. If it wasn't for her, Yong Liwei wouldn't jump and take the stab for her. She had to do something but what? Her husband was bleeding the life out of him as he continued to use the rest of his strength to resist Cian.

Just then the door was pushed open and there stood Cecilia. She was startled to see both men fighting to death but that was not important at that moment. She grabbed Lu Mengjie's hand and pulled her out of the room. "Quick! We need to leave!"

"B-but Liwei---"

"He's holding off my brother! We have to go!"

When Cian was able to put distance from Yong Liwei, he turned to the two women and glared at his sister upon hearing her words. "You… You're with them?!"

"Yes, I'm with them, Cian. You need to stop with your madness!" Tears welled up in her eyes. He was still her brother but witnessing him change into a monster, she knew that she needed to do something to save him and stop him from committing any more horrible deeds.

Shocked by her betrayal, Cian was filled with rage. "Then I guess you have no use for me anymore. Since you're courting death, I shall give it to you!" He rushed towards her and was ready to fly his fist on her but was stopped when Yong Liwei grabbed his wrist on time.

"Not so fast." He threw a hard blow on Cian's face, sending him stumbling away from them.

"Leave! I'll hold him off!"

Cecilia was in a daze when she saw her brother's murderous glare aiming at her. "I-I'm sorry, Cian…"

Despite not wanting to leave her husband, Lu Mengjie had no choice but to go with Cecilia. They took the hidden escape route found inside Cian's room to avoid being seen by the men who were defending the place against Yong Liwei's men.

Bai Jingye's men were assigned to wait for Cecilia and Lu Mengjie at the exit of the hidden pathway that was located in the forest. At least that was the plan but when the two women got out, no one was waiting for them in the forest.

"Shit. Where's Jingye and his team?" Cecilia said as she looked around.

"We can't stay here for long. Cian's men might come after us," Lu Mengjie stated.

Cecilia nodded in agreement. She decided to lead her towards where the road was located. Bai Jingye's men should at least be there, right?

As the two women continued to find their way out of the forest, it was not long before they heard clamoring nearby. Lu Mengjie pulled her companion to hide behind a tree trunk.

Not far from them, they saw Eleven and his team, fighting off some men that outnumbered them. No wonder they were not able to meet with them. "What should we do?" Cecilia asked worriedly.

"We have to get into one of those cars…" She replied.

From the looks of it, because of the number of the other team, Eleven and his group were at a disadvantage. She had to do something to turn the table around.
