Long Fei Ye hadn't even asked who had Grand Concubine Yi before the young woman confessed. Her threats were full of confidence.
Unfortunately, Long Fei Ye still treated her like air and ignored her.
Even Lady Leng Yue felt embarrassed for the young woman. She chuckled. "Of course she can. But I don't know if Your Highness Duke of Qin's rewards are higher than hers?"
"Is a City of Daughters enough?" Long Fei Ye said loftily, as if he was rewarding her.
Lady Leng Yue was furious. "Long Fei Ye, what do you mean by this?"
"Kill her and hand over Grand Concubine Yi. Then your lordship can consider sparing the City of Daughters. Otherwise … bear the consequences!" Long Fei Ye warned.
How much of a joke would it be if news of someone breaking into his estate, killing 100 Shadow Guards, and kidnapping Grand Concubine Yi spread? How many people would set their sights on the Duke of Qin's estate?
After all, the jianghu was a land of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There were plenty of unexpected dangers. He had to make the City of Daughters pay the price as a warning to the restless people in the jianghu.
Although he hadn't reached Celestial Mountain yet, he didn't mind destroying the City of Daughters first. Cloud Realm Continent's jianghu would have some liveliness first.
Lady Leng Yue sucked in a cold breath. "Long Fei Ye, your tone is too arrogant. Today, this lady will teach you how to take responsibility for your words! "
Lady Leng Yue was about to unsheathe her sword when the young woman stopped her. "What did you promise me? Did you forget? "
Lady Leng Yue had indeed forgotten. She'd been driven mad by Long Fei Ye's arrogance. "Don't worry, this lady is only teaching him a lesson so he knows propriety!"
The young woman gripped Lady Leng Yue's hand tightly as she muttered, "Lady Leng Yue, you want to try breaking our agreement? Do you believe that I'll reveal the truth? Do you want to ruin the City of Daughters' reputation? "
What was the truth?
The truth was that it wasn't the young woman who'd hired Lady Leng Yue, but Lady Leng Yue who'd kidnapped Grand Concubine Yi to make a deal with the young woman.
The City of Daughters was an assassin. They would first accept a deal before making a move. They would sit and wait for the customer to come to them, not make a move before making a deal.
If this matter was spread out, the City of Daughters would lose its value. It would be despised by the people of Jianghu, especially Liberty City, who would definitely laugh at it.
Only then did Madam Leng Yue calm down. She said coldly to Long Fei Ye, "If you want to do business with me, sure, but you'll have to finish this deal first!"
After saying that, she retreated behind the young woman.
The young woman finally regained some of her employer's face. Cold, she asked, "Long Fei Ye, didn't we agree that you would come alone and bring the Profound Frost Sword in exchange for her? What do you mean by that? What, you don't want to see Grand Concubine Yi? "
Only then did Long Fei Ye's gaze fall on the woman. Anyone could see the disgust in his eyes!
"How do you know that the sword in This King's hand is not the Profound Frost Sword?"
Long Fei Ye wasn't questioning her, but asking a question of his own. It was true that the sword he brought today wasn't the Profound Frost Sword, but it was very similar in appearance. Unless one was familiar with the weapon, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
The Profound Frost Sword was one of the sacred swords of Celestial Mountain. How many people in this world could recognize it?
Han Yunxi narrowed her eyes. She knew who this woman was! Truly … disgusting!
Long Fei Ye raised his sword and aimed it at the young woman's face. He wanted to tear through her veil, but the young woman unsheathed her sword as well. At the same time, Madam Leng Yue did the same.
The two of them faced off against Long Fei Ye while Long Fei Ye protected Han Yunxi with one hand. It had to be said that Long Fei Ye was at a complete disadvantage from the start. The young woman seemed to be injured, but her sword skills were still formidable. Madam Leng Yue, on the other hand, was an expert on the same level as Long Fei Ye!
Soon enough, Madam Leng Yue and the young woman split up to attack Long Fei Ye from both sides.
Long Fei Ye had been on the defensive the entire time. Half of his attention was on defense, while the other half was on protecting Han Yunxi.
"So Your Highness Duke of Qin is a playboy as well."
Madam Leng Yue taunted as she attacked. Long Fei Ye blocked her slashes with his sword, giving her the chance to use all of her martial arts to suppress Long Fei Ye.
Her goal was obvious: to pin down Long Fei Ye and give the young woman a chance to kill Han Yunxi.
It had to be said that Long Feiye was completely suppressed this time. With one hand holding Han Yunxi and the other gripping his sword, he had no way to break free from Lady Leng Yue's pressure.
Besides Cang Qiuzi, Madam Leng Yue was his second martial arts rival.
Seeing this, the young woman rejoiced. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Her sword swerved to the side to stab Han Yunxi.
Although the young woman was excited, she was still on guard against Han Yunxi's sudden attack. After all, she'd already suffered a loss.
She paid close attention to Han Yunxi's mouth, hands, and feet, ready to dodge the poison needles at any time.
Actually, she could've dodged the last time as well, but she was caught off guard and lost her footing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been seriously injured.
As expected, Han Yunxi spat out a poison needle. With a wave of her hand, she shot out multiple more, all of which the young woman easily dodged. She laughed mockingly and said, "Han Yunxi, with your little tricks, no one would even look at you if you went to juggle! Boring! "
Han Yunxi narrowed her eyes and didn't answer. Instead, she kept releasing poison needles, which the young woman dodged one by one.
Suddenly, she knocked aside the incoming needles with a clang and stabbed her sword towards Han Yunxi's heart. At this critical moment, Long Fei Ye suddenly let go of his sword and turned around to carry Han Yunxi out of the way.
No one expected Long Fei Ye to let go of his sword.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi dodged, but the young woman didn't stop her sword from stabbing forward. Neither did Madam Leng Yue. Thus, the young woman's sword went for Madam Leng Yue's, while Madam Leng Yue's sword went for the young woman.
Madam Leng Yue had just used all of her strength. If she stopped now, she'd only hurt herself. Time was of the essence, so she could only do her best to change directions and keep going forward. The young woman was able to retract her sword, and she had indeed retracted it. But … at the same time, Madam Leng Yue's sword pierced her abdomen.
Everything happened in a split second.
"Get out of the way!" Madam Leng Yue didn't even have time to shout.
Blood, like bright red vines, spread out from the young woman's waist. Her pure white dress bloomed like enchanting flower petals.
The young woman touched her wound and was horrified. She stared blankly at Madam Leng Yue, not knowing what to do.
"I didn't injure her vitals. She won't die!"
Although it had been an accident, Lady Leng Yue was still familiar with her sword just then. As she spoke, she pulled the young woman behind her to protect her before dodging to the side to avoid Long Feiye's whip.
Madam Leng Yue glanced at Long Fei Ye's sword on the ground and said coldly, "Despicable!"
It turned out that Long Fei Ye wanted to use a whip, not a sword. No wonder as a swordsman, he threw away his treasured sword so easily.
The young woman regained her senses. There was a deep cut on her waist, and blood was flowing out nonstop. While Madam Leng Yue was protecting her, she decisively tore her sleeve and wrapped it around her waist to stop the bleeding.
"Call the others out. They'll definitely be able to restrain Long Fei Ye," the young woman said in a low voice. She wouldn't be able to take this lying down if she didn't kill Han Yunxi.
"Back off to the side. I'd like to see just how capable Long Feiye is today!" Lady Leng Yue was thoroughly enraged by Long Feiye.
She didn't believe that Long Fei Ye could be a match for her while protecting Han Yunxi. She wasn't the City Lord of the City of Daughters for nothing! Earlier, Long Fei Ye had merely taken advantage of a loophole.
The young woman knew that she would become a burden to Madam Leng Yue in her current situation. A complicated look flashed across her eyes as she said in a low voice, "Don't kill him. Just make sure he can't control Han Yunxi."
She knew that if Madam Leng Yue became serious, she would hurt Long Fei Ye. If Long Fei Ye gave up on Han Yunxi, he would be a match for Madam Leng Yue. If he didn't, he would only be injured.
Seeing how Long Fei Ye was so protective of Han Yunxi, she was already filled with resentment. So what if he got hurt?
The young woman decisively retreated to the side. Madam Leng Yue used her ultimate move!
She separated a sword from the sword in her hand. One sword became two swords. She held two swords in each hand and faced Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi.
"Dual Sword Combination. I've finally witnessed it," Long Fei Ye said.
The Dual Sword Combination could only be achieved by two people, but Madam Leng Yue could do it with two hands. This was her own creation. Long Fei Ye had heard about it a few times from Master Kenzō. Even Master Kenzō admired it.
Han Yunxi was puzzled. She kept staring at Madam Leng Yue's two swords. She wondered how the two swords fit together without falling off.
There was nothing wrong with the blades. There should be a mechanism in the hilt, right? What's going on?
Long Fei Ye and Madam Leng Yue had already started fighting. Han Yunxi leaned against Long Fei Ye's chest as if she was detached from the world. She focused on the mystery of the Dual Sword Combination.
"You haven't even tasted it. How can you call this' experience '?"
Madam Leng Yue laughed and attacked with both swords. Long Fei Ye immediately retreated and swung his whip at Madam Leng Yue's sword. Madam Leng Yue threw her sword away to avoid his whip. The sword flipped in the air and hit a nearby tree trunk. She used the momentum to fly towards Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's backs. At the same time, Madam Leng Yue did not stop attacking with her other sword.
Long Fei Ye was pincered. He dodged to the side and was about to swing his whip when Madam Leng Yue appeared in front of him.
Then something miraculous happened. As soon as Lady Leng Yue reached him, her other sword moved through the air to chase after Long Feiye's back!
After a few rounds, Madam Leng Yue gradually gained the upper hand.
Long Fei Ye whispered, "Han Yunxi, use poison."
They had agreed to work together. He would protect her as she approached the enemy and she would use poison without worry. It was time for them to work together. He alone was more than enough to deal with Madam Leng Yue. However, he might not be able to protect Han Yunxi. There were many assassins lurking around. He could not compete with Madam Leng Yue.
Long Fei Ye's judgment could not be wrong. However, Han Yunxi said, "It's still early. I have a way to break her Dual Sword Combination."
As she spoke, she took out a palm-sized magnet from her medical bag!
