Feng Qing found the gap as she turned, thrusting her sword towards Lin Sisiâs side. Lin Sisi agilely dodged, then vigorously swung her sword. Not only did she deflect Feng Qingâs sword, but the force of her powerful strike also forced Feng Qing to retreat several steps.
Feng Qingâs hand holding the sword trembled. She noticed that her sword now bore several nicks from Lin Sisiâs sword.
However, under the intense sunlight, Lin Sisiâs sword glistened with a piercing cold light.
Han Yuwen, assisted by Yun Dan, gritted her teeth and shouted at Feng Qing, âIf you lose, Iâll kill you!â
Feng Qingâs heart tightened. âPrincessâ¦â
âDonât say a word! If you fail to defeat Su Yingxue, then you will kill this wench for me!â
Han Yuwen continued to pound the ground, her eyes filled with unvented anger.
Reprimanded by Han Yuwen, Feng Qing had no choice but to attack Lin Sisi even faster and more ruthlessly, losing her composure.
Lin Sisi looked carefree on the surface, but she was very careful when facing the enemy. She observed Feng Qingâs weakness. She was afraid that Han Yuwen would kill her, so she was eager to win. Her actions were fast and full of loopholes.
Seizing an opportunity, Lin Sisi used her sword to knock Feng Qingâs sword away. Taking advantage of Feng Qingâs momentary confusion, Lin Sisi placed her sword at Feng Qingâs neck. With a swift half-turn, she cut through half of Feng Qingâs neck.
âPuchiâ¦â
Blood splattered, staining Lin Sisiâs face with a cold and heroic demeanor under the sunlight.
âOh my god! She killed someone!â
âIs⦠is she dead?â
âThis skilled maidservant was defeated by Miss Lin and died at her hands.â
Lin Sisi watched as Feng Qing convulsed on the floor, twitching a few times before rolling her eyes and snorting.
With a sword in hand, Lin Sisi stood on the stage and knelt slowly. âEmperor, I have won. Itâs just that 1 made a mistake and accidentally killed this maidservant.â
Anyone with a martial arts background at the banquet could tell that Lin Sisi did not act carelessly. She had intentionally killed the maidservant.
But her actions brought relief to the noble ladies of the Great Cheng Dynasty.
Who asked Han Yuwen and her maid to be so arrogant and provocative?
Lin Sisi didwell!
âSisi truly lives up to her name!â
Su Yingxue applauded from below the stage.
Zhilan was surprised but worried. âMiss, wonât Miss Lin be blamed by the emperor for killing someone like this?â
Su Yingxue smiled, stood up, and shouted across the stage to Han Yuwen, âPrincess, keeping such a disgraceful maidservant will be of little use to you, donât you think?â
Han Yuwenâs anger surged. âWitch!â
She killed her maidservant and even dared to provoke her!
âEmperor, your Great Cheng Dynasty has gone too far! It was just a competition, yet she killed Feng Qing in front of everyone. Feng Qing was my maidservant. Even in the Qi State, Your Majesty dared not reprimand Feng Qing, but now she has tragically died under Lin Sisiâs sword!â
Yun Dan, usually indifferent, couldnât help but redden her eyes.
She and Feng Qing were like sisters. They had served Han Yuwen together for so many years, and now she witnessed her death!
She wished to hack Lin Sisi and Su Yingxue into pieces!
Han Yuwen didnât feel sorry for Feng Qingâs death. She only thought Feng Qing was useless!
But she wouldnât let Su Yingxue off easily!
Approaching Lin Sisi, she pointed and said, âEmperor, this person killed my maidservant. Please give me an explanation!â
Chu Mingyuanâs gaze deepened as he rebuked Lin Sisi.. âYou dare! How dare you kill someone in front of me, Lin Sisi? Who gave you the courage?â
