Chapter 94: Jing Ke Assassinates Qin (Part )

The Moon God was very amused to see Li Ji struggling desperately but to no avail while she was imprisoned by his Yin-Yang magic.

"You can't move unless I untie it for you!"

"Moon Goddess," Li Ji's pair of originally cold and beautiful eyes stared at the flawless Moon Goddess standing in front of her like spitting fire, "If you don't let me go, aren't you afraid that I will persuade Ying Zheng in the future?"

Hearing this, the Moon Goddess couldn't help but smile, "Madam Li Ji, who do you think the king is? King Fuchai of Wu, or Prince Shoude of Shang Zhou? If he will punish me because of your pillow talk, then..." At this point, the Moon Goddess knew that her next words were a bit taboo, so she wisely stopped talking and changed the subject, "It was the king who ordered me to keep an eye on you. Today, unless the king comes back, you can't leave this palace even a step!"

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!

The threats and inducements were easily resolved by Yueshen. When Li Ji got the news and knew that her senior brother Jing Ke had arrived, the pearls in her beautiful eyes gushed out like a river bursting its dam, instantly wetting her delicate face with light makeup, making her charming face, which was the most beautiful among all the beauties, look like a calico cat.

"Senior brother, senior brother!"

The only part of Li Ji's body that could move was her mouth. Her rosy lips opened and closed, and she called out, as if she wanted to go through the Zhangtai Palace, where there was a floor every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps, and go straight to the royal palace.

…………

Swish!
According to Qin law, since Qin Xiaogong, all items presented to the kings of Qin had to be inspected to prevent anyone from imitating assassins like Zhuan Zhu and bringing weapons into the palace. All the civil and military officials of Qin had to be inspected when they came to court. However, Jing Ke was an exception this time, and Zhengge specifically ordered that only a simple inspection was required.

Therefore, the Du Kang map, which is of great importance, has never been opened.

Jing Ke, holding the Du Kang map in his hand, slowly spread the heavy map on Zheng Ge's dragon table. On the snow-white cloth, the mountains and rivers of Du Kang in Yan State were drawn, from rivers to cities, all clearly visible to Zheng Ge. Even though Zheng Ge knew what the Du Kang map meant, his calm eyes still changed.

Snapped!
No matter how long the map is, it will eventually end.

A map that seemed to lead Zheng Ge to Du Kang was completely spread out in front of Zheng Ge in the anxious mood of Jing Ke and Qin Wuyang. At this time, Jing Ke's right hand suddenly pressed on the scroll, and a crisp sound spread throughout the hall.

Clang!
With a crisp sound, Jing Ke's right hand fell on the scroll, and a short sword that was more than one foot long and had a ferocious aura that frightened people as soon as it appeared fell into Jing Ke's hand.

The dragon-slaying sword, Canhong!
Canhong, the sword made for Jing Ke by the mother of Master Xu, a swordsmith of the Mohist school. This sword is very powerful, but also too fierce. It will hurt the sword's owner while hurting others. It is completely different from other bronze swords. It is made of fragments of fallen stars from the sky. Although the fragments look like rocks, they will ignite a blazing flame.

Yan Dan and Jing Ke disguised the Canhong Sword as a scroll. As long as they pulled the trigger, the Canhong Sword would fall into Jing Ke's hands. Amid the crisp sound of the sword, Jing Ke tightly grasped the dragon-slaying sword - Canhong, grabbed Zheng Ge's sleeve with his left hand, and roared:
"Tyrant Ying Zheng, die!"

At this moment, Jing Ke no longer suppressed the hatred in his heart, and looked at Zheng Ge with eyes that wished he could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. The Canhong Sword seemed to merge with its master, Jing Ke, and became an inseparable whole. The sharp sword stabbed out like lightning, piercing straight into Zheng Ge's heart.

The most powerful move, a five-step kill!

This sword condensed the hatred that Jing Ke had suppressed for a long time because his wife and children were taken away by Zheng Ge. The extremely ferocious sword moves embodied Jing Ke's spirit and energy; the spreading sword force created a sword domain that encompassed Jing Ke and Zheng Ge; the ruthless sword energy, embodied in the flames ignited by the Canhong sword, seemed to turn into a fire that burned the sky and burned out the hegemony of the Qin State.

Tear!

Jing Ke's sword, which was almost life-threatening, was so sharp that even Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang had to avoid it. However, facing Jing Ke's sword, which was full of murderous intent, what happened next was beyond the expectations of everyone, including Tian Xuan. With a crisp sound, Zheng Ge's sleeve, which was held by Jing Ke, broke into pieces.

At the critical moment, Zheng Ge, who was originally sitting on the throne, suddenly stood up and retreated backwards like lightning. Even though Jing Ke's "Five Steps to Kill" would exhaust thousands of mountains and rivers, Zheng Ge's retreat seemed to cross the void and reach the vast and unknown ends of the earth.

"Do it!"

As he was retreating, Zheng Ge, who had known this would happen, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and gave a decisive order to face the sword of such a top swordsman as Jing Ke.

Clang!
Following Zheng Ge's order, Gai Nie, who had been prepared for a long time, jumped out of the scabbard with the long sword in his arms. The moment the sharp sword came out of the scabbard, it condensed into a white dragon with bared fangs and claws, swift as the wind, fast as lightning, and stabbed at Jing Ke with unparalleled speed.

The most powerful sword move of Guiguzi's swordsmanship, the Hundred-Step Flying Sword!

The Hundred-Step Flying Sword was known as the best skill in the world, and its speed was so fast that it surpassed the sound. When the white dragon transformed by Gai Nie's sword was formed, Zheng Ge's order had not yet fallen. If this sword was aimed at Jing Ke, he would not dodge. Because, since he was going to die, why not die under the sword of Gai Nie, his old friend, in exchange for a chance to kill Ying Zheng, his sworn enemy.

However, Gai Nie's 'Hundred-Step Flying Sword' was not aimed at Jing Ke himself, but at the dragon-slaying sword in Jing Ke's hand - Canhong!
Bang!

The Hundred-Step Flying Sword is incredibly fast and leaves no trace.

In a flash, Gai Nie's sword transformed into a white dragon hit Jing Ke's Canhong sword, which was blazing with flames. The two swords collided with each other, accompanied by a crisp sound, and both Gai Nie's sword transformed into a white dragon and Canhong, the blazing dragon-slaying sword in Jing Ke's hand, lost their strange appearance and fell to the ground.

"Take it!"

Even though Zheng Ge claimed that he was fully prepared, when the Canhong Sword was shot down by Gai Nie, he still felt a little scared in his heart. His eyes were filled with endless murderous intent. He looked at Jing Ke who was running towards the Canhong Sword and said without hesitation.

Swish!
After receiving the royal order from Zheng Ge, Gai Nie flashed in front of Zheng Ge and protected the monarch he was loyal to behind him. He stretched out his hand and the sword that was inserted diagonally into the ground a few feet away turned into a cluster of flowing light and returned to Gai Nie's palm.

Chi!Chi!Chi!
Everything happened so fast that it took no more than three seconds from the moment Jing Ke revealed his true intentions to the moment Gai Nie descended from the sky and rescued Zheng Ge from Jing Ke's sword. The people living on the high platform only realized what had happened when Gai Nie and Jing Ke's swords both fell to the ground.

Immediately, all the Qin civil and military officials who were used to fighting, as well as the envoys from various countries, changed color. Fortunately, these people were extraordinary. Although they were panicked, they were not confused, and they did not scream like the vulgar people. When Zheng Ge's royal order was issued, the warriors and assassins who were ambushing in the palace appeared like ghosts.
