An Assassin
The figure stopped when Si Ning moved out of the way, they seemed to be amazed by Si Ning's instinct so they watched Si Ning.
Si Ning blinked, his vision unclear but he could tell it was a man standing before him. He couldn't feel his legs, his body seemed to have shut down and with how weak he felt it seemed like it was a miracle that pushed him out of the way of the sword because now he doubts he could lift a finger but he summoned all his power and started to drag himself on the floor, each movement accompanied with pain in his arms were on fire, like his bones were broken and he was trying to arranged it with his muscles but after last he was able to lean on the wall, he was able to succeed, his cloth drenched in sweat as he blinked, his vision so blurry. His mouth was heavy and bitter and he knew he had been poisoned, it was all a plan to kill him, and kill the Empress of the Nation which means they planned to take over Xiu before Xiu Zhicheng returns.
