Chapter 158 Being Taken Down

Ji Yuzhang was somewhat surprised by these sudden changes.

However, fearing that this was just a conspiracy by these black-clad guards to continue their ambush on him, Ji Yuzhang became even more vigilant. He kept his eyes on the black-clad guards, trying to see what they were up to and whether he could find a way to escape their encirclement.

If he continues to be surrounded and attacked by these black-clad guards, he fears he will have little chance of survival.

However, because of the strange behavior of these black-clad guards, Ji Yuzhang remained vigilant and did not activate the Sky-Shattering Cannon for the time being, thus refraining from using his last resort.

As long as there is a chance to survive, Ji Yuzhang does not want to lose his life here.

He has more important things to deal with, and he can't die yet.

Keeping a close eye on the black-clad guards, wary of their sneak attacks, Ji Yuzhang observed his surroundings, hoping to find a more advantageous escape opportunity for himself.

Judging from the current situation, these black-clad guards must have been ambushed, which is why they are behaving strangely. They seem to be dealing with some kind of sneak attack and can't pay attention to him anymore. This makes Ji Yuzhang even more curious. He wonders what is happening around him and whether he himself is in any danger.

Unfortunately, Ji Yuzhang had been carefully observing the surroundings, but he still couldn't find any useful clues. He wondered what was wrong with those black-clad guards.

Because of this unexpected incident, Ji Yuzhang became even more cautious, keeping a close watch on his surroundings to avoid being ambushed himself.

The fact that the black-clad guards were thrown into such chaos shows that the other party must be incredibly skilled; he himself needs to be careful as well.

Soon, the black-clad guards who had been so menacing began to feel dizzy and weak from the venomous snake's sneak attack. They staggered and fell to the ground.

The snake venom had spread through the bloodstream, leaving the black-clad guards completely defenseless.

These venomous snakes, under Lü Xinyan's special training, had already been able to control the toxicity of their venom.

Moreover, these venomous snakes were coated with poison specially applied by Lü Xinyan, which was the key to dealing with these black-clad guards.

Lu Xinyan was quite familiar with these black-clad bodyguards and knew their weaknesses, so using poison to target them was the most appropriate approach.

Just like when she dealt with the Yuan family's secret guards last time, Lü Xinyan intended to use this kind of poison to deal with these black-clad secret guards.

As for the snake attack, it was just a decoy to make these black-clad guards overlook other dangers, thus achieving the purpose of the plan.

Because they were focused on the venomous snakes that were darting around and moving nimbly, the black-clad guards overlooked other issues.

By the time they felt dizzy and realized they had been poisoned by other substances, it was too late to remedy the situation. One by one, they collapsed to the ground, unable to resist.

Even after they fainted, these black-clad guards still couldn't understand why. They had clearly gained the upper hand when dealing with Ji Yuzhang, and could have taken his life at any moment and returned with his head to report back. But then this unexpected turn of events occurred, and they were all poisoned and fell into a coma without even realizing it.

As a result, they had no idea how they had been tricked, or even who their opponents were.

What's even more terrifying is that the person might be right around them, committing such a heinous act without their knowledge, without noticing anything unusual, and unaware that someone had approached the area!

The other party must have come prepared, and their methods were so sophisticated that they caught them off guard, leaving them with no power to resist.

Now that they've been knocked out and are unconscious, their mission has likely failed.

Their lives are probably all over now.

They had finally managed to capture Ji Yuzhang, but in the end, they failed and were about to lose their lives. This made the black-clad guards extremely unwilling, but there was nothing they could do.

This was the only time in the entire course of their mission that they were completely outmaneuvered without any warning.

The other side's methods were too formidable; they were all captured before they even noticed the other side's presence.

Although these black-clad guards tried to remain conscious to see who had suddenly attacked them, they couldn't hold on any longer and fell unconscious, completely losing their ability to resist.

This unexpected turn of events left Ji Yuzhang wide-eyed in shock.

He had initially thought that these black-clad guards were plotting something to deceive him, but judging from the current situation, they had already been taken down and were not faking it at all.

At this moment, Ji Yuzhang's expression became even more solemn. He wondered who had made the move that had caused all these black-clad guards to suffer and be taken down.

Although he remained alert and knew that the other party might not be targeting him, Ji Yuzhang still dared not let his guard down and kept an eye on his surroundings, trying to find out who the person who had just made the move was and where they were hiding.

After all, those were all secret guards, extremely powerful, trained by families and forces at great expense and time. When did they become so easy to deal with?

Moreover, from his vantage point, he couldn't see what had just happened that caused all the guards to flailing their arms and legs, eventually collapsing to the ground.

This unexpected turn of events surprised Ji Yuzhang even more, but it also made him more vigilant. He didn't know what had just happened, or what had made all the black-clad guards so weak and easily defeated.

What is the other party's purpose in doing this? Is it to help him?

Or is it that the other party has other motives and is targeting him?

His expression turned serious. Ji Yuzhang looked at the unconscious black-clad guards, and even his breathing became lighter, fearing that there might be some poison gas around him, and that he would be knocked out without even realizing it.

However, he is still very lucid and nothing unexpected has happened, which makes Ji Yuzhang even more confused.
