You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

In this world where everyone practices martial arts, commoners in the city are forbidden to fight. Those who violate the rules will be thrown into prison. However, it's different for the nobles. As long as the impact is not particularly severe, they are generally punished lightly. Ji Su looked at Ying Wuji eagerly. Regardless of how ruthless Ying Wuji could be, the fact that his status had fallen was undeniable. If his strength was not enough, he would be nailed down. As long as he had a sense of proportion when he acted, he could vent as much energy as he wanted. If he couldn't win with his mouth, he could win with his abilities.

"Watch my palm!" Ji Su's hands were engulfed in flames, displaying the unique Liefire Palm of the Ji family in Wu Kingdom. Ying Wuji also drew a short sword from his calf and said, "Watch my sword!"

Ji Su's face turned pale, and he suddenly stopped his movement, pointing at Ying Wuji and scolding, "You... don't you understand the rules of a private contest without weapons?"

Ying Wuji retorted, "I'm in this situation. Do you expect me not to use weapons? If you want to fight, then fight. If you don't want to fight, then get lost!"

Ji Su's expression suddenly became extremely exciting, and the muscles on the right side of his face twitched. But he still gritted his teeth and sneered, "Since you want to use it, then use it. The gap between the tenth and eleventh levels cannot be made up by a mere sword."

After speaking, he directly attacked with his palm.

The Liefire Palm was known for its fierceness and speed, and Ji Su had already touched the essence of it. Invading like fire, nothing could stop it. The Ji family in Flame Kingdom was originally known for its strong true energy, and now Ji Su's true energy was magnificent. Even if he had not reached the stage of fetal transformation, the gap between the eleventh and tenth levels was still huge. He dared to make such a move because he had the confidence given by his eleventh level of true energy.

Damn!

This skill is so cool!

Ying Wuji's eyes lit up. He was glad that he had stolen this skill for himself. Regardless of whether it was strong or not, being cool was what mattered for a lifetime.

But soon, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Wait! Ji Su is not right!

He clearly felt the crazy killing intent in Ji Su's eyes, as if he had lost his mind.

This killing intent was definitely not something a stupid hostage for exchange could have.

He didn't dare to be arrogant and immediately raised his wrist, pointing the tip of his sword upwards. True energy spurted out of his palm and spread to the entire sword body, causing a burst of sword hum.

At the moment when the palm and the sword collided, the fiery true energy in Ji Su's palm was like mist under a strong wind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The True Break of Collapse!

The palm and sword collided, but the sword body did not have any resistance. It immediately stabbed from a strange angle.

"Poof!"@@novelbin@@

A hole was poked in Ji Su's shoulder, and dark red blood flowed out.

Ying Wuji was delighted. He did not expect that with only two basic sword techniques, he could achieve such an amazing effect.

He dared not delay and quickly stabbed again. If Ji Su had murderous intent, he would kill him. In his eyes, any diplomatic incident was nothing!

Ji Su's expression changed dramatically, and he quickly retreated several steps, barely avoiding a fatal blow. Although he was hit in the shoulder, revealing a deep wound that could be seen down to the bone, he was awakened by the sword. The madness in his eyes vanished, and his voice trembled violently, not knowing whether it was due to anger or fear.

In a fit of rage, his true energy surged even more, and he began to use the complete Liefire Palm. He couldn't give Ying Wuji any chance to catch his breath from now on.However...

After a quarter of an hour...

Ji Su lay on the ground covered in blood, his punches and palms lost their form due to his unbalanced mental state. Facing Ying Wuji's tricky sword techniques, he had no chance to catch his breath.

He turned to his followers and shouted, "What are you doing? Can't you help me?"

The follower complained, "Young Master, I can't free up my hands!"

At first, Bai Zhi was anxious, thinking that Wuji was no match for Ji Su and wanting to rush to his aid, but he was firmly blocked by Wuji.

In the end, Ji Su was the one who fell behind. He wanted to ask for help, but he was blocked by Bai Zhi.

Ji Su saw Ying Wuji slowly approaching him and couldn't bear it anymore. He shouted to the coachman, "What are you waiting for? Report to the officials!"

Ying Wuji frowned and looked at him with a serious expression. In the end, he still didn't kill Ji Su.

Ji Su's condition was very problematic. The crazy killing intent seemed like an illusion. His behavior before and after was completely different. After being stabbed, he was furious but didn't use his palm to attack like the first time, nor did he have the same crazy but clear killing intent as the first palm.

It was like... he was under some kind of mental control spell.

Using someone else to do the dirty work, just like deceiving Hua Chao to become a poisoner.

What kind of evil intention did the mastermind have?

If it weren't for his improvement in swordsmanship, this accident would have been a real disaster!

After another quarter of an hour...

The two of them were honestly recording their statements in the yamen.

Ying Wuji looked panicked, "I panicked when I saw him use the Lihuo Palm technique because it was too cool. I felt like I couldn't beat him."

"Then what happened?"

The centurion in charge of the matter asked.

Ying Wuji said anxiously, "I don't know what happened. He used the whole set of palm techniques and then fell to the ground. When I looked down, I found that he had been hit by my thirteen swords! It was bloody and scary. I don't know why he wanted to hit my sword. Was he trying to take advantage of me?"

The centurion said, "..."

Ji Su, covered in bandages, couldn't hold back anymore. "You're talking nonsense! This centurion came to kill someone. Don't believe his lies!"

He was really scared.

Because Ying Wuji had stabbed him several times in a row, making him feel like he had been to the gates of hell. This Qian Kingdom hostage really had murderous intent.

"It's not like that!"

The centurion shook his head and said curiously, "Although the sword wounds on your body are all deep enough to see the bones, none of them are in vital areas."

Ji Su choked, "That doesn't mean he should be let off. He carried a deadly weapon on the street and violated..."

Ying Wuji waved his hand and said, "I just experienced an assassination attempt. It's normal to carry a weapon on the street, right? I used this sword to catch the culprit last night. The officials didn't give me any trouble. Today, Young Master Su came to my door to beat me up. The more I look at it, the more it looks like an accomplice of the culprit. Can I not be afraid?"

Ji Su: "..."

The centurion: "..."

He really had a point.

Recently, this Qian Kingdom hostage was a key target of attention. The centurion was informed before he was sent out that as long as no one was killed or seriously disabled, he should beat them to death.Yesterday, I held a short sword to the neck of the prime minister's daughter, and nothing happened. What more today?

The centurion smiled, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's calm down. Let's stop here."

Ying Wuji said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Ji Su became anxious, "Misunderstanding? How can it be a misunderstanding? And you want us to calm down? He didn't even lose a single hair. Your bias is too obvious!"

The centurion interrupted with a stern face, "Master Su, you have to know that the incident happened in front of the Qian Kingdom paper shop, and we are now in the Li Kingdom. If we really start a fight, you won't be in the right!"

Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Master Su, calm down. It's just a misunderstanding. I may not be good at anything else, but I'm best at turning enemies into friends. Am I right, Sister Hua Chao?"

He walked up to her affectionately.

Hua Chao looked worried and asked, "Wuji, are you okay?"

Ji Su said nothing.

His face froze, he snorted, and left with his followers carrying him away.

"You wait for me. The Flame Kingdom won't let this go!"

He was very angry and forgot how much killing intent he had in the first strike.

Ying Wuji watched him leave with a cold expression.

He could almost be sure that Ji Su really wanted to beat him up to vent his anger, but he was unlikely to have murderous intent towards him. The Flame Kingdom had just ended a war with the border, and they had no reason to offend both the Qian and Li Kingdoms at the same time.

The person behind the scenes was really wicked, but who were they?

Ying Wuji had no clue, but he deeply felt his own lack of strength. Those people could use Ji Su's hand this time, and they could use someone else's hand next time.

Apart from Bai Zhi, he had no confidants. It was almost impossible for him to personally find the culprit. The only hope was to quickly improve his strength.

It seemed that after making some money this time, he had to increase his strength by challenging more powerful opponents.
