Chapter 38: Chapter 33 Swords and Silk_3
The man roared.
"Unless you tell me who hired you, I will surely destroy this corpse completely," Xiao Mengyu's hand shook, and another shadow of a sword flew out from the longsword.
The man had to give up his attack and fully protect Zhao Yibing from the incoming strikes, quickly saying:
"If you leave now, in consideration of the Luo family, I can still give up the chase. But if you want to pry into my artwork—"
"I will kill you!"
Xiao Mengyu immediately responded, "You can come to kill me, but I need to know the employer's information!"
"Dream on!" the man said.
Hum—
The longsword in Xiao Mengyu's hand suddenly blurred.
A giant shadow of a sword emerged from the spine of the blade, emitting a terrifying and fierce aura.
Hum hum hum hum hum—
The sound of the sword humming became more and more majestic, covering all other sounds.
The man's pupils contracted suddenly.
He could defend against such swordsmanship, but he certainly couldn't protect Zhao Yibing.
"Bingbing!"
The man looked at Zhao Yibing's body with reluctance, his eyes gradually turning bloodshot.
Unprecedented killing intent, born from despair, emerged from him.
Behind him, a mysterious Blood Colored Doll quietly floated in the void.
—He was also going to strike with all his might.
"Let's make a deal," Xiao Mengyu spoke up at this moment.
"A deal?" the man's teeth clicked as he gave one final questioning before making his move.
—Even though the sound of the sword was deafening, he could still hear the other party's words clearly.
"As long as you tell me who the employer is, I'll allow you to come after me. Whether you succeed or not, I promise not to rely on the Luo family's power, nor will I let the Luo family seek revenge on you," Xiao Mengyu said calmly.
"If you kill me, my corpse is at your disposal."
The man paused.
He looked at Xiao Mengyu's exceptionally beautiful figure, her posture wielding the longsword with vibrant spirit, and the lofty Sword Intent in her eyes, serene as autumn waters—
The roiling killing intent that filled the room suddenly vanished without a trace.
"Are you... serious?"
The man asked in a tone that alternated between anxiety and shyness.
"Serious," Xiao Mengyu said.
A smile slowly spread across the man's face.
"It really is troublesome," he smiled, his eyes squinting and his brow furrowing slightly, as if he had encountered something simultaneously embarrassing and extremely difficult.
But ultimately, he continued in a pleased tone:
"For your sake, I've betrayed my employer, effectively breaking the iron law of the Assassins Alliance. From now on, I too will face the pursuit of the Assassins Alliance."
"Are you scared?" Xiao Mengyu mocked.
"Charming young lady, for the chance to possess you, I would make such a sacrifice," the man articulated with ups and downs, "I hope that not long after this, I can hold you tightly in my arms and give you countless kisses as fervent as the equator."
"My sword will reduce you to mud," Xiao Mengyu said calmly.
"Ah, that would be another kind of delight. Just hearing your voice like the music of the heavens already excites me—I do not reject it, unless you prove incapable," the man gave an elegant bow.
The deal was struck!
Now only one thing remained.
"The Skinner" emitted the sound of countless steel wires rubbing back and forth.
The wires, as if alive, probed back and forth in the void, constantly sensing the girl's Sword Qi to discern her reality and illusion.
The girl's longsword in her hand suddenly vibrated, unleashing a sharp sword hum.
The razor-edged Sword Qi tested against the steel wires, leaving deep gashes on the floor, the walls, and the ceiling.
The battle was about to begin!
