Chapter 1429: Chapter 1430 His Sword Points at Her Again_1

Jianqi rode a fast horse out of the city overnight and arrived outside Tianshui City, which was two towns away from Duanliang City, one day later.

In the dead of night when no one was around, he found a large rock with smooth edges and took out the medicine liquid Bai Ruozhu had given him. He dipped a twig in it and began to write the message Bai Ruozhu had instructed him to.

It was a hidden-tail poem, which on the surface foretold the descent of auspicious omens. The lord of Tianshui City liked to take credit for achievements and would surely report this event to the Imperial Court and present the rock to the Palace.

However, hidden at the end of the poem were four words: ”The Yang Family rebels.”

Even if the Yang Family discovered this stone and intercepted it, it would just prove that they had become all-powerful.

Jianqi felt that his lord was extremely clever and admired her even more, thinking that if his lord were a man, becoming a king or a prime minister would not be out of reach.

And when the color on the stone faded and the characters appeared as if naturally formed, Jianqi’s admiration grew even stronger.

He was originally worried about flaws, but the master’s medicine surprised him. He poured some water from his canteen onto it and wiped it with his hand, yet not a speck of color came off.

The characters were lighter than the original color of the stone and really looked as if they were formed naturally!

Jianqi paused for a while, then snapped back to reality and hurriedly buried the stone in the nearby field. He buried it shallowly so that it would be discovered as soon as the farmers started digging.

About three days later, Bai Ruozhu and others met up with Jianqi, who was dusty from the journey and looked exhausted. However, everyone thought that he had arrived ahead of time to arrange matters for the Commerce Association on Bai Ruozhu’s behalf and was tired from the hard work.

”Master, it’s all taken care of,” Jianqi whispered to Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, ”You’ve worked hard. You don’t need to stand guard at night for the next few days, get some good rest.”

”Yes.” Jianqi was indeed tired and didn’t try to play tough.

They chose not to return via water route this time. Fortunately, nothing happened on the rest of the journey, and even Chiyou, whom Bai Ruozhu had been worried about, did not make another appearance. It was unknown if it was because Chiyou had been bitten by Furball.

In this way, they were quickly approaching the Capital City, and Bai Ruozhu’s heart grew more and more excited—she would soon be able to meet Dengdeng, her family, and her friends!

The only regret was that Jiang Yichun was still the same; it seemed that the Evil Technique he was under was particularly difficult to completely break.

That evening, as the team had yet to reach the next village, Bai Ruozhu grew somewhat anxious and urged everyone to speed up, only to have a strange and sinister wind suddenly blow by them.

The wind was like the cold wind of December, bone-chilling, but it was already summer. Although it wasn’t scorching hot like midsummer, surely such a bone-chilling wind shouldn’t be blowing, right?

Bai Ruozhu immediately became alert and instructed everyone, ”There’s a problem, everyone be careful.”

No sooner had she spoken than three figures appeared out of thin air. For some reason, Bai Ruozhu immediately felt extremely dangerous, a kind of danger like she had never experienced before!

Honglian was still dressed in red garments, and her gray hair was not tied up but left flowing freely in the breeze, looking very eerie.

And this time, her gaze was no longer as vacant as it had been before!

Bai Ruozhu immediately realized that Honglian had already escaped Jin Jing’s control!

Jin Jing controlling Honglian wasn’t the scary part, but if Honglian regained control herself, as a flesh-eating corpse who understood evil techniques, she would definitely be even more terrifying than before she became a corpse.

”We meet again, Bai Ruozhu. Today is the day you die!” Honglian looked at Bai Ruozhu with a ferocious smile, her black lips wickedly twisted upwards.

”Honglian, you monster, you are as good as dead, so what’s there to be arrogant about in front of me?” Bai Ruozhu said mockingly, ”You were like a dog under Jin Jing’s control before, I still remember it well.”

Honglian’s smug expression disappeared instantly, replaced by an angry and sinister look, as she roared furiously, ”Bullshit! I made her crawl on the ground and bark like a dog, she didn’t dare refuse, temporary triumph means nothing!”

”Then how do you know this isn’t your temporary triumph?” Bai Ruozhu sneered.

”You’ll know whether it is or not when you’re dead!” Honglian finished chanting a spell, and Bai Ruozhu’s complexion drastically changed. She commanded Jianqi and the others, ”Go, kill Honglian!”

Jianqi, Muyu, and Hao Feng swiftly charged forward, while Yuefeng and Jin Jing blocked Honglian because they didn’t fear pain, recklessly protecting her, allowing Honglian to complete her spell.

All of a sudden, Jiang Yichun’s eyes reddened, and the look he gave Bai Ruozhu turned from tender to ruthless, as he seemed on the verge of charging at Bai Ruozhu!

Jianqi quickly retreated to Bai Ruozhu’s side, worriedly saying, ”My lord, be careful.”

Yet Bai Ruozhu didn’t step back at all. She just stared straight at Jiang Yichun. At this distance, even if she retreated, Jiang Yichun’s sword could still pierce through her chest in an instant, and Jianqi wouldn’t be able to stop it.

So, she didn’t want to retreat. She wanted to gamble one more time, also giving him one last chance. If he couldn’t wake up this time, she would definitely give up on him completely.

Suddenly, Jiang Yichun drew his sword, its tip once again aimed at her. Her heart shuddered, and her eyes couldn’t help but turn red. Yet she forcefully widened her eyes, wanting to see clearly if he would truly stab her.

Honglian’s whispers echoed in her ears, sounding like the mad taunts of a witch in the dead of night. Bai Ruozhu’s heart was filled with unwillingness and rage, wishing she could burn the demon woman Honglian to ashes with Fierce Fire!

The sword tip grew closer and closer, cries of alarm rose, and Bai Ruozhu no longer knew who was shouting. Maybe it was Jianqi, or perhaps Chu Hai, or it could have been Zhanna or Hao Feng seeing the scene from inside the horse carriage. She didn’t care who it was. After all, her life was coming to an end!

Tears silently fell from the corners of her eyes. Jianqi’s figure stepped in front of her, only to be knocked aside by Jiang Yichun with a palm strike. The sword tip came even closer, and Muyu shouted, ”My lord, no...”

But the sword tip continued to advance, almost piercing her eye, casting a huge reflection in her dark, despairing pupils.

Finally, in her despair, she closed her eyes, and the person in front of her didn’t even blink as a trail of tears fell to the ground...

The anticipated pain didn’t come next. Could it be that she was so heartbroken that she was suffocating and couldn’t feel it?

She hurriedly opened her eyes, only to see that cold figure rushing towards Honglian. The next second, the sword tip was headed straight for Honglian’s eye. Yuefeng and Jin Jing, still clashing with Hao Feng and Muyu, hadn’t expected Jiang Yichun to suddenly attack Honglian. By the time they reacted, they saw a red object flying out, followed by Honglian’s miserable scream!

Bai Ruozhu’s eyes widened; that was one of Honglian’s eyeballs. Honglian had become a flesh-eating corpse, and her body was hard to cut into, but her eyeball needed to move and see, so it couldn’t be indestructible, and Jiang Yichun plucked it out with just one sword.
