Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1628: Chapter 1608: Fight to the Death

Luo Qianqian coldly snorted, her eyes secretly scrutinizing the surroundings. She spotted Huangfu Yanyao planning to ambush nearby Huangfu Ze and was suddenly startled. Just as she was about to say something, he shot forward like a sharp sword towards his opponent, daggers clutched in his hands.

Huangfu Ze’s reflexes were extremely agile, reacting with incredible swiftness. In an instant, much like before, a mere phantom remained stationary in the original spot, instantly dodging the attack. Huangfu Yanyao’s consecutive strikes left him incredulous, then he stood dumbfounded on the tree, unsure what to do as Huangfu Ze’s figure once again disappeared from in front of them.

Luo Qianqian’s heart raced, knowing where the opponent was and being able to guard against them, but not knowing their movements was full of danger!

Without hesitation, she swiftly moved towards a nearby tree. Just after landing, the sense of crisis surged again in her heart, and she quickly retreated back the way she came.

The branch she had momentarily landed on exploded into splinters in an instant, after being stunned by the explosion of the whip. Luo Qianqian watched as the tree slowly fell to the ground, not swaying at all, but collapsing in a straight line, showing the immense power of the strike.

As the tree crashed down, Luo Qianqian hurriedly tried to leave, only to find the fallen tree already turned into powder, piled onto the ground, incredulous that such a thick tree could be obliterated by such an ordinary-looking strike?

Her assessment of Huangfu Ze seemed a bit low. If she had taken that strike, she feared she would be barely alive!

It looked like merely attacking a branch, but the entire tree was damaged.

This meant, if she were attacked, she would be destroyed from inside out, her meridians shattered, bones nonexistent!

Luo Qianqian was secretly angry, never expecting someone who had just spoken some flirtatious words to her would so suddenly use harsh tactics!

After all, in some people’s eyes, she was still a useful tool, wasn’t she? She never thought Huangfu Ze would use some trick on her, quickly pushing away, with her form slowing down a fraction in mid-air.

After landing on the ground, she looked at Huangfu Yanyao, who was now adorned with bloodthirsty madness: ”Unbelievable, you even got your hands on Fire Cloud Sect’s Phantom Shifting! You can’t be the ordinary direct disciple as the Royal Family claims, can you?”

If others heard Huangfu Yanyao, they’d surely spit blood in disbelief: Ordinary direct disciple?

What exactly is ordinary about a direct disciple?!

Surely, far better than a named disciple? Above named disciples are Outer Sect Disciples, and above them Inner Sect Disciples, followed by Direct Disciples, and finally Royal Direct Disciples!

This already signifies noble status, yet you claim, an ordinary direct disciple!

Huangfu Ze’s figure slowly emerged atop the tree Luo Qianqian had stood on, holding a long whip, he laughed: ”You discovered all that?”

”Hehe, even if I’m not as skilled as you, I know Phantom Shifting is the Fire Cloud Sect Master’s specialty!” Huangfu Yanyao, looking at Luo Qianqian on the side, had a hint of sadness on his face, thinking how unbelievable it was that the Royal Family had such excellent talents yet demanded so much?

”Hehe, knowing that, what can you do? As long as I’m here, an imperial clan disciple will never enter the Fire Cloud Sect!” Huangfu Ze pressed his lips with a smile, his long whip now disappeared, and a crescent moon blade reappeared in his hands, making Luo Qianqian feel uneasy.

It seemed the long whip wasn’t his primary weapon, yet it demonstrated such power.

If it’s the crescent moon blade...

A shiver ran through her heart as she understood the current situation, resolute determination filled her heart.

She couldn’t die! For her brother!

”Fight then!” Reflexively clenching fists, she took a deep breath, absorbing all tension into her heart, with none showing outside.

In her heart, however, chilled waves surged; although capable, the opponent was distinctly stronger! With a murderous aura surrounding him, proving countless lives fell by his hands. Saying she felt no fear would be a lie.

Huangfu Ze sneered at Luo Qianqian but glanced over her body, still saying: ”Last chance, follow me, I promise you lifelong peace!”

Luo Qianqian took a deep breath, resolute, as her spiritual power surged, reaching her peak at this moment.

She drew daggers, crossing them before her chest, loudly declaring: ”As a Luo Family descendant, I would rather die than surrender!”

Her face was determined, her body coursed with blood from Old General Luo Guohui; how could she live cowardly? She was a Luo family member, in life and death disciplined so! This word ’surrender’ isn’t found in their bloodline!

Her expression swiftly changed, feet rapidly retreated, hands quickly flung daggers. Because before her words finished, Huangfu Ze was lunging at her.

In competition, preparation precedes action, even if mismatched, surrender is possible.

But now, Huangfu Ze ambushed her, catching her unprepared, she hastily hurled daggers, grateful her spiritual power was already heightened, seamlessly entering combat mode.

Huangfu Ze’s presence was as nimble as a fish swimming, like an unpredictable phantom; his movements were indiscernible, only bound to innate response.

He already flipped through the air landing beside Luo Qianqian, slashing at her arm, the crescent blade seeming leisurely yet unstoppable, chilling her heart.

Luo Qianqian naturally wouldn’t resist head-on, grasping talisman paper; with a turn, a long-handled crescent blade appeared in her hand, parrying the strike, then swiftly lunging sideways, leaping into the air, flipping, tapping off three tree trunks, diffusing the attack’s force, successfully escaping Huangfu Ze’s strike zone.

The clash of weapons rang with a humming sound, yet without damage.

Covering her slightly numb arm, Luo Qianqian’s eyes bore astonishment. Unexpectedly, Huangfu Ze’s strike force was formidable, barely sustaining it required effort.

Huangfu Ze, eyeing Luo Qianqian’s weapon, his expression subtly changed.
