Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 878

Chapter 878: Chapter 685: Instinctive Protection

Xue Yansi’s face darkened. Without a second thought for Shen Tang, he turned to deal with the assassins who had stormed into the hall.

These assassins were naturally no match for him, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of them were killed.

But they weren’t targeting Xue Yansi; not far away, Luo Ying was panic-stricken, trying to dodge through the crowd.

"Catch that female!"

No one was unaware that Xue Yansi cared most about her!

As long as they captured his fiancée, he would surely yield!

A Black Wolf Beastman, skilled at stealth, transformed into a shadow and dashed straight for Luo Ying.

"Ah!"

Luo Ying screamed in fright, trying to escape but stepping on a rolling wine bottle, she fell to the ground in a mess, unable to dodge in time.

At that moment, a poisonous snake formed from black fog suddenly sprang out, biting the Black Wolf Beastman, causing him to instantly vanish into ashes.

Luo Ying just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up and run to Xue Yansi, but she didn’t notice a maid slip a dagger from her sleeve, grabbing her from behind with the blade against her neck.

Her face drained of color, "Brother Yanci, save me!"

Xue Yansi’s eyes abruptly changed, discarding Shen Tang as he rushed over, killing the maid and pulling Luo Ying into his arms.

But more assassins had already flooded in.

Even if they couldn’t defeat Xue Yansi, they relentlessly attacked the guests across the hall.

The Snake Clan Family Head Xue Xiaoyuan was also present, immediately sensing something amiss and ordering them to stop with an ugly expression.

But no one listened to him; the slaughter couldn’t be halted.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Xue Xiaoyuan had no choice but to step in personally.

Apart from family members, most guests were also strong beastmen. After the initial panic, they quickly regained composure, setting up energy barriers to protect themselves, resisting the black toxic fog, and started to counterattack.

They initially thought they could control the situation.

But soon, everyone felt their bodies turning weak, unable to mobilize their superpowers, barely able to stand, stumbling to the ground.

Even the Family Head was affected.

Someone shouted in alarm, "The food... the wine dishes are poisoned! Someone poisoned our food!"

Even the banquet’s food and drinks were tampered with!

Everyone was filled with terror, wondering who could have done this.

To poison the banquet food without detection, outsiders could barely achieve this!

Blame and complaints surged instantly, mostly directed at Xue Yansi, causing his reputation to take a plunge.

The banquet gathered high-ranking members of both clans; the death of even one person could severely deteriorate the relations, making the Snake Clan a target of public condemnation, losing their prestige forever!

This highly anticipated engagement banquet turned out to be a shocking mess.

The new Young Master of the Snake Clan lost his stature in the hearts of everyone completely.

Xue Yansi, however, cared not for the curses. Dealing with the intruders was not hard for him, but he had to protect his frail fiancée and cared little for the lives of others present.

Shen Tang, there as well, was forcibly drawn into the chaos.

"Help!" A sudden scream came from beside her; it was a young female guest brought here, appearing only seven or eight years old, targeted by an assassin.

Shen Tang always hid her identity, reluctant to flaunt, but at this moment, instinct overpowered reason!

"Watch out!" An ice sword instantly formed in her palm, piercing the assassin’s body, turning him into an ice sculpture which shattered into shards.

That little female from the Black Sheep Clan stared wide-eyed, filled with admiration as she looked at her: So amazing!

"Stay away." Shen Tang casually set an energy barrier over her and her family, then swiftly dealt with another oncoming assassin.

She sighed softly, her eyes hardening; having intervened, there was no need for restraint now.
