A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

The three stopped, intending to find a place to hide and wait for the battle to end.

But then, an unexpected obstacle appeared in their path.

Jingni, holding a long sword, leaned against a tree in front of them, seemingly waiting for them there.

"What a coincidence! We meet again!"

Bai Yuan forced a smile, but his heart was filled with bitterness.

Are you kidding me? How come Jingni appeared as soon as Wuming left?

"Unfortunately, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Jing Ni stared coldly at Bai Yuan, her killing intent now undisguised.

"Ahem... Well, you've probably waited in vain. We have something to do today and have to go!"

Bai Yuan grabbed Lu He and A Da, and once again used the Harmony with Light and Dust technique to rush towards the nameless direction.

Compared to the previous assassins, Jing Ni is even more deadly!

"Trying to run? Not so easy!"

Jing Ni's eyes narrowed, and she swung her long sword sharply, sending a sword aura towards an open space. It seemed to miss, but it interrupted Bai Yuan's movements.

Jingni saw through his teleportation technique using the principle of blending in with the world beforehand!

If they continued walking, the sword energy would strike them.

"so close!"

Bai Yuan was glad that he reacted in time and stopped, then looked at Jing Ni with a helpless expression.

"I said, my friend will be here soon. Then it won't be a question of whether you can kill me or not, but whether you can escape!"

He was genuinely trying to persuade Jingni, hoping she would back down.

Unfortunately, Jing Ni was completely unafraid, pointing her sword at Bai Yuan: "Too bad, your friend probably won't make it in time. Just obediently accept your death!"

Having said that, she stopped talking nonsense, took a light step, and thrust her sword forward.

Bai Yuan didn't have time to think about the meaning behind Jing Ni's words, and hurriedly pushed Lu He and A away.

"You guys go hide over there!"

As he spoke, he raised his peach blossom sword to parry.

The moment the two swords clashed, a yin-yang symbol appeared, which helped him deflect a lot of the force.

Bai Yuan drew a circle with his feet, and with a flick of his wrist, the Peach Blossom Sword, as nimble as a serpent, gently and firmly wrapped around the Jingni Sword.

"That move again!" Jing Ni's eyes changed as she recalled the day Bai Yuan had knocked the sword from her hand. "Did you think I would lose to the same move again?"

She is a female assassin, so isn't gentleness a virtue?

She will too!

Jing Ni suddenly changed her sword style; her swordplay was no longer fierce but gentle yet deadly!

The method of using someone else's strength against them suddenly stopped working. Bai Yuan found it difficult to use someone else's strength against them again, and even had to be careful not to have his sword knocked away by Jing Ni.

The two men's duel quickly became intense, and their swords became completely entangled, making it appear from the outside that they were practicing swordsmanship rather than engaging in a duel.

Neither of them dared to withdraw their strength first, nor dared to exert excessive force, thus creating a delicate balance.

Whoever breaks the balance first loses!

The two of them had drawn a Tai Chi symbol under their feet, but they still couldn't determine a winner.

In their back-and-forth entanglement, the two even locked eyes with only three fingers' width apart on several occasions, with Bai Yuan's face almost pressed against Jing Ni's mask.

At such close range, he could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from Jing Ni. He couldn't quite describe the scent, but he liked it quite a bit.

Research suggests that if one person can smell another person's body odor and experience pleasure from it, it indicates that their genes are compatible and complementary...

But such a fierce woman...

Jingni didn't know what Bai Yuan was thinking, but she noticed that he suddenly seemed a little distracted, and his sword aura weakened slightly.

But she seized the opportunity immediately because of that little bit.

Jingni's eyes sharpened, and with a slight flick of her wrist, her sword aura suddenly became like the ocean, wave after wave, both gentle and strong!

The balance had been broken. Jingni Sword pierced the guard of Peach Blossom Sword and flicked it forcefully, sending a powerful blow to Bai Yuan's wrist, causing the sword to fall to the ground.

Jing Ni reacted extremely quickly, kicking the Peach Blossom Sword away, which stuck into a large tree nearby. Then, she turned around and stabbed at Bai Yuan.

Just when he was about to succeed, Bai Yuan suddenly fell backward to the ground, supporting himself with his hands and looking at the sky with resentment.

"Heavens! I never thought I would die here on my first trip down the mountain! Master, I am an unfilial disciple and will not be able to go back to repay your kindness in raising me for so many years."

"Back then, if you hadn't carried me back from the freezing wind, I would have frozen to death in the snow long ago. For seventeen years, you raised me with great care and hardship, but now, I don't even have the chance to repay you. I have to let you, an old man with white hair, bury your black-haired son. Your disciple is unfilial!"

His emotional and poignant lament seemed to possess a magical power, impacting Jin Jingni's heart. Her sword stopped at Bai Yuan's chest, unable to pierce him no matter what she did.

For some reason, Jingni felt a tightness in her chest and felt very uncomfortable.

As if he had committed a heinous crime, his hand holding the Jingni Sword trembled slightly.

Bai Yuan turned a blind eye and secretly watched Jing Ni's performance.

I never expected the [Emotional Sword Technique] to be so powerful; even an assassin like Jing Ni couldn't withstand it!

Chapter 14 Don't let others take advantage of your kindness

Although Jing Ni could kill Bai Yuan with a single sword strike at any moment, she hesitated to do so.

Ah Da and Lu, who were hiding to the side, were already in tears, unable to stop crying. When they saw Bai Yuan fall to the ground, they rushed out crying.

"Brother Bai Yuan! Don't die!"

"Sir! Don't die!"

Good heavens, this sword strike is an indiscriminate mental attack!

But can you two wish me well?

Bai Yuan felt both touched and helpless.

The two bravely stood in front of Bai Yuan, constantly criticizing Jing Ni for going too far.

Bai Yuan is still just a seventeen-year-old boy!

They didn't even give him a chance to repay his master; that's too much!

Their accusations further solidified Bai Yuan's status as a vulnerable group, amplifying the effects of the [Emotional Sword Technique].

For a moment, Jing Ni was somewhat flustered. She even forgot her identity as an assassin and fell into deep self-blame. The sword that was originally pointing at Bai Yuan also lowered.

Bai Yuan could tell that Jing Ni had completely fallen for their trap and would probably not launch any more attacks against them.

But that alone is not enough.

Wuming has not arrived yet, which means something must have happened to him. He should also subdue Jingni as a precaution.

Pushing aside the path where he was crying and holding himself, Bai Yuan handed him over to A Da, and then walked alone towards Jing Ni.

What are you going to do?

Jing Ni's voice trembled slightly. Seeing Bai Yuan getting closer, she seemed flustered and instinctively wanted to back away.

It was as if Bai Yuan were some kind of evil monster who bullied innocent girls.

She still hasn't realized that something is wrong with her.

Bai Yuan reached out and grabbed Jing Ni's hand that was holding the sword. It was a little cold to the touch and was still trembling slightly.

He held the Jingni Sword to his neck, then closed his eyes, stiffened his neck, and continued using the [Emotional Sword Technique].

"Kill me! I know your mission is to kill me so you can finish your task. I know I'm going to die today, but I have one request: after I die, I hope you can take me back to Mount Taiyi, the place where I grew up!"

Jing Ni's pupils contracted, not expecting Bai Yuan to say such a thing.

Did he really choose to die just to fulfill his own desires?

But why can't I bring myself to do it?

He used to be so decisive and efficient when assassinating targets, without even blinking.

He had just said fiercely that he was determined to kill him.

Ming

With a clang, the Jingni Sword fell to the ground.

Jingni closed her eyes; she still couldn't bring herself to do it and gave up the opportunity.

Bai Yuan was also surprised that Jing Ni would even throw away her sword.

The purple entries are really awesome!

This is the opportunity he has been waiting for!

Bai Yuan suddenly stopped wailing and strode forward to Jing Ni, quickly tapping her twice with his fingers.

Jing Ni was still trapped in her grief and couldn't pull herself out of it. When she was attacked, she didn't even have time to react before he struck her pressure points, rendering her unable to move.

"You...you lied to me!"

Suddenly attacked by Bai Yuan, Jing Ni abruptly broke free from the influence of the [Emotional Sword Technique] and realized that she had just fallen for Bai Yuan's trick.

Jingni was both shocked and furious.

I never expected that he would have such a trick to affect people's emotions.

Bai Yuan gave him a knowing look and nodded.

"That's right, you fell for their trap, but it's too late to realize it!"

He initially had a sudden idea, deliberately creating an opening for her so that he could successfully use this "emotional appeal sword technique" to gain sympathy.

Originally, he only wanted to buy some time to reduce Jing Ni's killing intent and fighting spirit so that he could save some energy. Who knew that it would work so well that Jing Ni couldn't even lift her sword.

"just kill me!"
