Chapter 61 Ming Jin’s Maiden
Objectively speaking, Zhisheng Luo was no match for Linyi Yue.
Facing the long sword of the silver-haired woman, she could only parry…
… The clashing of sword blades echoed in the night, and Zhisheng Luo could only retreat constantly to neutralize the opponent’s offensive.
However, she was never hit by Linyi Yue. Even though she was at a disadvantage, Zhisheng Luo’s aura did not retreat at all, and she even counterattacked from time to time.
…
…
Thus, the two fought for about 10 minutes.
Gradually, Zhisheng Luo began to run out of stamina, and sweat flowed from her forehead, splashing on the soil with every slash.
However, Zhisheng Luo smiled:
“As expected, the guards around the King are all so strong… But I don’t need to defeat you.”
“Huh?”
“I just need to hold you off. My companions are carrying out the plan in an orderly manner. As long as everything goes smoothly, then…”
Zhisheng Luo was not just stating facts, but also using words to disrupt Linyi Yue’s state of mind.
As long as the opponent’s emotions fluctuated, the offensive would naturally reveal flaws, and Zhisheng Luo would naturally be able to defeat Linyi Yue.
However, the girl never expected…
Not only were Linyi Yue’s movements unaffected, but a voice suddenly came from behind Zhisheng Luo.
“Number 3, the plan has changed. Retreat quickly.”
“What?!”
“The target is not the King of Ruo Hui Gong, but just a decoy! Ruo Hui Gong himself has escaped, and the Temple of Clarity has also been sealed.”
Her comrade’s voice stunned Zhisheng Luo completely.
Her stance faltered, and although it was only a momentary lapse, it was fatal in a battle between experts… Linyi Yue naturally did not miss this opportunity and directly held her long sword at her neck.
“Damn it… I can’t escape. You guys retreat quickly.”
“Huh?”
“According to the original plan, I will buy you time!”
Zhisheng Luo’s reaction was not slow. Facing Linyi Yue’s sword, she made a move that surprised everyone… She actually thrust her neck forward.
Linyi Yue had no intention of killing her; she only wanted to capture Zhisheng Luo to interrogate her.
So, facing her opponent’s self-harm, the silver-haired woman could only retract her sword and try to change her move.
However, Zhisheng Luo seized this opportunity and charged directly at Linyi Yue with her shoulder as a weapon!
“You!”
“Mercy is useless in battle!”
Zhisheng Luo’s fighting style was so fierce… She was putting herself in a desperate situation to find a way out, gambling that the opponent would not kill her to seize a glimmer of hope.
Boom!
With a violent collision, Zhisheng Luo pushed Linyi Yue to the ground. Their weapons were scattered on the ground due to the violent impact, and now only physical combat remained.
“Where exactly did you hide King Ruo Hui Gong?!”
Zhisheng Luo forcefully pressed Linyi Yue’s wrist, and veins bulged on her own muscles.
“Do you think I’ll tell you the answer?”
“!”
“We already had a contingency plan and took His Highness Ruo Hui Gong away. You’d better confess and be lenient… Who are your accomplices, and what are you planning to do?”
Although at first, Zhisheng Luo had Linyi Yue pinned beneath her, seemingly gaining the upper hand.
However, she quickly felt her strength failing… Linyi Yue’s strength was immense, and she was slowly pushing back Zhisheng Luo’s arms.
The two were locked in a stalemate, with beads of sweat breaking out on their bodies.
And at this critical moment!
“Ah!”
“What?!”
Zhisheng Luo’s head was struck from behind, and with intense pain, her body suddenly went limp and she fell unconscious.
“Haa, haa!”
Lonis gasped for breath, dropping the stone in her hand… She had wanted to help for a long time, but the battle between the two was too fierce. Only now did Lonis finally find an opportunity to knock out Zhisheng Luo from behind.
“Miss Linyi Yue, are you alright…”
Lonis reached out, trying to pull up the silver-haired woman… but she found no trace of joy from winning on her face.
A hint of confusion appeared in her pupils, and then, as if remembering something sad.
Linyi Yue’s tone was filled with helplessness: “Classmate Lonis, can you promise me one thing?”
“W-what thing?”
“Except for your lover Elus, please do not tell anyone what you have seen tonight.”
“Huh? She, she isn’t…”
Lonis, flustered, was about to retort.
But she found that Linyi Yue’s expression was very serious, as if warning her of something crucial.
So…
“Yes, I… I understand.”
“Good, then I will begin now.”
After speaking, Linyi Yue raised her portable silver sword.
Seeing this, Lonis was startled!
Could it be that Linyi Yue wanted to kill Zhisheng Luo out of anger, and that was why she told her not to say anything?
Although Senior Zhisheng Luo was one of the assassins who planned this assassination, Lonis felt a pang of guilt seeing her miserably dead before her eyes… She prepared to extend her arm to stop Miss Linyi Yue’s actions.
However…
Linyi Yue’s long sword did not pierce the unconscious girl.
Instead, it pierced her own chest.
“W-what?!”
“Ahhhh!!!”
At the same time, Linyi Yue let out a painful cry.
However, this cry was not her usual mature and steady voice,
but a roar that sounded like a man’s.
Gurgle, gurgle!
With the tearing of her clothes, a pair of very round and full pads also rolled to the ground with a thud.
It was then that Lonis realized…
Miss Linyi Yue was not a woman at all, but a man!
Or, to be precise, a cross-dressing beauty… As the silver sword pierced her, her chest also emitted a dazzling radiance.
(What, what is happening?!)
The intense light almost blinded Lonis, and she could not see what was happening.
But at the same time, Lonis also recalled the events of the night.
From the moment they arrived, King Ruo Hui Gong was wearing a helmet.
Elus had said that Miss Linyi Yue’s attitude towards the King was strange.
Miss Linyi Yue had silver hair, and King Ruo Hui Gong was Elus’s distant relative and should also have silver hair.
Senior Zhisheng Luo’s target was the “essence blood” of His Highness Ruo Hui Gong.
And now, the King had hidden himself.
If,
His Highness Ruo Hui Gong was a handsome cross-dressing beauty…
Then everything would be explained.
…
The light poured out from in front of Ruo Hui Gong and flowed into Zhisheng Luo’s body.
