NOVEL NEXT Chapter 60
Chapter 60: Jing Ni’s Most Fearful Thing, Identity Exposed, Now There’s no way to escape even if I want to
A cloud of smoke filled the bridge.
Four thick chains connected to the high building on the opposite cliff.
The suspension bridge swayed in the night wind, and the chains made a rattling sound as they swayed.
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared at one end of the suspension bridge.
A long sword in hand emitted a sharp cold light under the moonlight.
The person’s sharp gaze pierced through the layers of mist, landing on the middle-aged man on the opposite side.
The man was dressed in a long robe, elegant and handsome.
His eyes were like the moon in the night sky, capable of revealing everything hidden in the dark.
He held a sword in hand.
A very special sword.
“I’ve been waiting for you,” the man spoke softly, his voice clearly reaching the ears of the person on the other side.
“Are you my target?” a woman’s voice came from the darkness, cold like the sword in her hand.
Before the words finished, as if racing against time, she leaped onto the suspension bridge.
Each chain rattled, as she seemed like a black feather arrow piercing through the mist.
“When you cross this bridge, you will die,” the man spoke again, lifting the peculiar sword in his hand that flickered under the moonlight.
Sparks flew, and the chains as thick as a waist broke like flaxen strings under his sword.
Every step the shadow took on the suspension bridge, a chain would break.
The suspended bridge became precarious!
Finally, after the last chain was cut, it collapsed with a loud crash.
The deep eyes of the shadow narrowed!
Like a swan taking flight, she grabbed the broken chain at the critical moment!
Echoes resounded from the cliff below, and as she emerged on the platform in front of the pavilion along the chain, the other party had already disappeared.
Her black long skirt fluttered in the wind, revealing a pair of straight and slender jade legs.
Several flashes of sword light lit up in the night, and the wooden gate shattered with a crash.
The woman with sharp eyes scanned the room, where only a candle flickered with a faint light.
She stepped forward. Suddenly, the flickering candle swayed and extinguished abruptly. The woman’s gaze sharpened, and she swiftly drew her sword. A spark burst in the air with a clang. The man who had just disappeared reappeared at the doorway, calmly looking at her.
The woman’s gaze fell on his empty hand, a hint of confusion in her eyes: “No sword?”
The man slightly tilted his arm, and moonlight illuminated. An ethereal long sword revealed a hazy outline.
The woman’s expression changed, “Hanguang Sword, Nameless…”
The Nameless calmly spoke, “Wei Wujie, is it you who killed?”
The woman tightened her grip on the sword, realizing that this was a formidable target.
“I can take you to him for questioning.”
The Nameless looked at the sword in her hand, his mouth twitching, a cold smile on his face. “Jing Ni, the top assassin in the Luo Network. No wonder you could kill Wei Wujie. But today, you will die.”
As he finished speaking, Jing Ni struck first. The moves were swift and fierce, each sword strike aiming at vital points.
The Nameless responded calmly, shifting positions inside the room. The speed was so fast that Hanguang could only react instinctively as a killer.
“You seem in a hurry, what are you rushing for?”
Another sword was deflected, and the Nameless’s voice came ghostly from behind.
Jing Ni calculated the time; she needed to finish the target and return before Li Mo arrived home.
Just like last time!
However, this target’s strength far exceeded her imagination!
He seemed to anticipate every move she made.
Finally, after another missed sword strike, the opponent’s long sword swung towards her face.
Jing Ni’s black pupils contracted, quickly stepping back. But the opponent’s speed was far superior to hers!
Before she could raise her sword to block, the long sword would strike her face.
Clang!
At this moment, a spark suddenly burst in front of her.
A silver light collided directly with the transparent sword!
The force was so great that even the person holding the sword staggered.
“Hmm? There’s someone else.”
The Nameless stabilized his posture, looking towards the door.
Looking at the hairpin deeply embedded in the wall, Jing Ni frowned slightly.
The hairpin seemed somewhat familiar.
She turned her head to the door, and her pupils widened in an instant, drenched in cold sweat!
Li Mo stood at the door with a bamboo pole, the end of a black cloth strip on his eyes swaying in the wind.
“Because she’s in a hurry to go home.” Li Mo’s voice made Jing Ni feel like she was in an ice cave!
Her heart suddenly accelerated!
How did he appear here? Why did he appear here? How did he get here when the drawbridge had already collapsed?
The Nameless shook his head: “Today, none of you will leave.”
Downstairs, there was a hurried sound of footsteps as a thousand Wei Wu soldiers heard the commotion and rushed over. Li Mo tapped the ground with the bamboo pole in his hand and said to Jing Ni, “Come over.”
Jing Ni’s hands and feet turned icy. The most feared thing had happened! She didn’t know what Li Mo would think after discovering her true identity.
His wife, who dared not even kill a chicken at home, turned out to be a top killer who didn’t blink an eye at murder!
“Come here, after I kill him, I’ll take you home.”
Li Mo said again.
The words ‘go home’ seemed to have some magical power, and Jing Ni uncontrollably walked towards him.
The Nameless’s bright eyes flickered: “With you? A blind man.”
He looked at the bamboo pole in Li Mo’s hand: “Without even a sword.”
Li Mo put away the bamboo pole, reaching out to take the long sword from Jing Ni’s hand.
Jing Ni was completely passive, letting him take the sword from her.
“Now, let’s begin!”
