Chapter 451: Let’s Die Together
“Master, why waste words with this girl? Today, I’ll bring you a daughter-in-law. When the time comes, she can serve you well.”
“Pah! Someone like you? I wonder if all martial artists are blind to have chosen your master as the martial alliance leader. They say great teachers produce outstanding students, but seeing your character, it seems your master isn’t much better either. Today, I’ll clean up the martial world and rid it of your corrupt ways!”
After Yu Luo’s words, Fang Jian and Jin Yaowei’s expressions darkened.
“Hmph, sharp-tongued little girl. Since it’s a challenge, it doesn’t matter who wins or loses—killing each other is fair game. Let’s begin!”
Jin Yaowei was clearly enraged by Yu Luo, which was exactly the effect she wanted.
She glanced at Jin Yaowei and the group of martial artists standing with him.
“Since your martial alliance leader has spoken, don’t come crying for revenge later when I kill his disciple! Also, if I win today, you must all leave Luo City immediately!”
“Hahaha! How old are you? Not even eighteen yet? Even your grandfather wasn’t a match for our Alliance Leader Jin, so his granddaughter’s skills must be even worse. You dare speak such big words? Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing yourself and Luo City in front of the entire martial world?”
A middle-aged man beside Jin Yaowei burst into laughter, mocking Yu Luo.
Yu Luo sneered coldly. “What’s wrong? Alliance Leader Jin, are you afraid to accept my challenge? If I win today and kill your beloved disciple, you must admit defeat and leave Luo City!”
“Fine! I want to see what kind of skills this little girl has to defeat my prized disciple. Do you even realize? His martial arts rank in the top thirty of the entire martial world. If you lose, you will open the city gates and let your people leave Luo City on your own!”
As Jin Yaowei finished speaking, the martial artists behind him raised their weapons and shouted, “Leave Luo City! Leave Luo City!”
Watching this group, Yu Luo realized they truly intended to seize Luo City by force.
“No need for more talk. Since you’re a woman, I’ll let you strike first.”
“That won’t be necessary. You go first.”
As Fang Jian spoke, Yu Luo’s cold gaze was filled with mockery.
Seeing her arrogance, Fang Jian only wanted to defeat her quickly to humiliate her in front of everyone and reclaim his dignity.
“Hmph! Then, prepare to die!”
Fang Jian lifted his longsword and charged toward Yu Luo, using his lightness skill to leap into the air. His speed was swift, precise, and ruthless.
But before he could even finish his sentence, time suddenly froze.
Yu Luo looked at the falling snow in the sky, surprised to find it suspended in midair. She reached out, caught some, and held it in her palm.
“The system, this time-freezing talisman is truly useful. Even the snow stays frozen in my hand without melting!”
[Indeed, Host. Hurry up and act! Or better yet, kill Jin Yaowei while you’re at it!]
Yu Luo raised an eyebrow. She was indeed tempted!
“Forget it. His influence in the martial world is too strong right now. I still have more time-freezing talismans. If he dares to break his word later, I can kill him then. Killing him now might only provoke these martial artists further. It’s better to leave myself an escape route.”
[That’s a wise decision, Host. Although Luo City isn’t afraid of these martial artists, you at least followed proper etiquette before resorting to violence. If they go back on their word later, you can kill them then.]
Encouraged by the system, Yu Luo walked up to Fang Jian and thrust her sword into his chest.
His body, still in midair, was lifted by her sword. With a single thought, Yu Luo reactivated time, bringing the world back to motion.
Fang Jian’s body continued its forward momentum, but Yu Luo’s sword had already pierced his heart. By the time he realized what had happened, his movement only forced the sword deeper into his chest.
“Fang Jian!”
Jin Yaowei’s anguished cry rang out. It was only then that the people on the city walls and the martial artists behind Jin Yaowei realized—Fang Jian had been struck!
“You—!”
Fang Jian looked down in disbelief. His gaze landed on his chest, where his pristine white robe was quickly staining red with his own blood. Yu Luo’s sword had pierced him with precision. He was stunned.
Yu Luo sneered and twisted the sword before swiftly withdrawing it. She leaped two meters back as Fang Jian’s blood sprayed out, staining the snow-covered ground.
Fang Jian’s knees buckled, and he plunged onto the snow, his sword sinking into the ground for support. He clutched his chest, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief as he stared at Yu Luo.
“Weren’t you planning to humiliate me? I even let you strike first. Who would have thought that the prized disciple of the martial alliance leader was so utterly useless?”
Yu Luo’s tone was arrogant as she turned to Jin Yaowei and his followers, her face cold as ice.
“Alliance Leader Jin, your disciple has lost!”
“Why are you all just standing there? Hurry up and stop Fang Jian’s bleeding! I won’t allow him to die!”
Jin Yaowei had no time to argue with Yu Luo. He furiously ordered his subordinates.
Two martial artists quickly responded—one using lightness skill to reach Fang Jian, another supporting him while sealing his pressure points to stop the bleeding.
“It’s useless. His heart is already damaged. Even sealing his acupoints won’t save him.”
From the crowd, an elderly man stepped forward, examining Fang Jian’s wound closely. He shook his head with regret and bluntly delivered the grim news.
Jin Yaowei’s already furious expression became even more enraged. His eyes burned with hatred as he glared at Yu Luo, as if he wanted to tear her apart.
“Wretched girl! You dare kill my beloved disciple? Then you and all of Luo City can prepare to die!”
Jin Yaowei’s threat only piqued Yu Luo’s interest.
Perfect. Since Jin Yaowei had broken the rules first, she wouldn’t have to hold back when killing them later!
