Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 91 Choice

The battle erupted instantly. The black-clad swordsman killed a Luo Wang assassin of the "Kill" rank with a single sword strike. His martial arts skills were no less than those of a Luo Wang "Heaven" rank first-class assassin. Although Hei Bai Xuan Jian had lost a sword and was no longer at his peak, his combat power was still not to be underestimated, driven by his desire for revenge.

However, as a descendant of the top-tier assassins of the Luo Wang organization, Yan Ri can command other top-tier assassins of the same rank. His strength far surpasses that of other swordsmen of the same level. Even when fighting alone against the black-clad swordsman and the Black and White Scissors, he is still not at a disadvantage and can even suppress their attacks.

Elsewhere, several top-tier assassins surrounded the man in black on the rooftop. Although they were no match for him, their superior numbers ensured their safety.

It was Li Wu who suffered. Even though it was just a moment before she could make a move, the person next to her struck her ribs with the scabbard the instant the sword was drawn. She was sent flying backward and fell downstairs, breaking several ribs and instantly losing her fighting ability.

On the other hand, the man in black showed no fear despite being surrounded by a group of assassins. Of course, they couldn't see whether he was afraid or not, because his face was covered with a black cloth, with only his eyes exposed.

But they could see the sword in the man in black's hand. The sword was ordinary and could be made in any blacksmith shop. If there was anything strange about it, it was that the sword was very thin, only two fingers wide.

Such a sword is too thin, and the spine in the middle must be very thin. If you use such a sword to slash, it will easily break. But is a sword really meant to be used for slashing?

Amidst the siege of numerous assassins from the Luo Wang organization, the man in black transformed into a black afterimage. His movements were so swift that they were almost impossible to follow with the naked eye. With each precise movement, a sword would pierce the throat of an assassin from the Luo Wang organization. His movements and his swordsmanship were extremely simple, something any novice swordsman could do.

But his movements and swordsmanship were incredibly fast, even renowned swordsmen couldn't match his speed.

He was like a traveler in the darkness, blending into the shadows. No one could catch his movements. He was the shadow cast by the heavens onto the earth, invisible and traceless, yet harboring deadly intent.

Elsewhere, Li Wu struggled to her feet, ready to join the attack on the men in black. But as soon as she stood up, she saw one of her comrades after another turn into bodies in the black afterimages. Her body, which had just stood up, felt a dizzying sensation, and a pain in her ribs struck. She fell back down uncontrollably, and this time, she was unable to get up again.

If someone were beside her, they would surely hear soft murmurs from the heavily wounded body lying on the ground beside her: "I'm just a dancer, I'm just a dancer, dancers are not good at fighting."

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were bewildered as they watched the Butian Pavilion and Luo Wang, who were now locked in a fierce battle, fight each other. How had things come to this?

What are we here for? Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

It's not that they're not smart enough, but the current situation is far beyond their expectations.

"Senior brother, who do you think will win this battle between Butian Pavilion and Luo Wang?" Wei Zhuang hesitated for a moment before uttering the word "war".

"I don't know, but I do know that we have become a third party who can influence the course of the battle. If we help Luo Wang, Luo Wang will win; if we help Butian Ge, Butian Ge will win," Gai Nie said.

"Yes, so which side should we help?" Wei Zhuang hesitated.

His original intention was to protect Wei Yong, even if Wei Yong was a bad person, but a useful one. The Butian Pavilion was obviously there to kill, no, to destroy Wei Yong. Logically speaking, the appearance of the Butian Pavilion disrupted his plans and should have been his enemy.

But right now, Wei Zhuang has no determination to take action against the Butian Pavilion.

"Wei Yong is not worth protecting, but the struggle between Butian Pavilion and Luo Wang... Luo Wang is one thing, but what kind of existence is Butian Pavilion? Why have we never heard our teacher mention it?" Gai Nie asked in confusion.

Although they have not yet completed their apprenticeship and have been learning their skills under their master, even if the successors of the Strategist family do not leave their homes, they are well aware of the general situation of the world. A force that dares to directly confront the Net cannot be unknown.

The Net of Heaven is certainly not a good thing, but everything about the Heaven-Mending Pavilion is still unknown.

"The important thing now is not the Patching Heaven Pavilion, but how we should choose?" Wei Zhuang's expression became more solemn.

The two brothers had come under orders from their master, and they could not turn back now, as turning back would mean giving up the exam. If they did not turn back, they would have to make a decision about the current situation.

"Compared to Luo Wang, I prefer Butian Pavilion," Gai Nie said. He hated Wei Yong, a man who killed his colleagues for profit and was even willing to sacrifice his daughter. Now he was colluding with Luo Wang. Such a person was not worth protecting. If he lived, he would be the greatest threat to the Wei Kingdom.

"Wei Yong is indeed not worth protecting," Wei Zhuang nodded.

"Didn't you always think Wei Yong was worth protecting?" Gai Nie asked in return.

The two had argued about this issue. Compared to Gai Nie's sense of morality, Wei Zhuang valued practical benefits more. He believed that Wei Yong was an obstacle to Qin's eastward expansion. Such a person could not be judged purely as good or bad, but rather by the measure of his interests.

Wei Yong is useful as long as he is alive. As long as this can be confirmed, Wei Yong is worth protecting.

"That was before. Now that Luo Wang is actually protecting Wei Yong, it means that Wei Yong must have made some kind of deal with Luo Wang behind the scenes. As an important minister of Wei, what kind of bargaining chips could he offer that would tempt Luo Wang to make a deal with him? The answer to this question is not hard to find, and that is the Wei Wu Zu." Wei Zhuang analyzed calmly.

"For the sake of profit, he sold his daughter. You could say that he is the true nature of a ruthless hero. Such a person is worth protecting as long as he is of value to the State of Wei. But now that he is about to betray the State of Wei, he has lost his value to the State of Wei. Such a person is not worth protecting."

"It seems we've arrived at the same conclusion by different paths this time," Gai Nie nodded. Although their considerations differed, they ultimately made the same decision, which was a very good outcome.

"We have always taken different paths, but my goal and my senior brother's goal have always been the same," Wei Zhuang said. His feelings for Gai Nie were very complicated. The two were competitors, but they also had a brotherly bond.

"Yes." Gai Nie smiled for the first time. Compared to the cold and domineering Wei Zhuang, Gai Nie was actually colder. His coldness was an untainted coldness.

The two brothers exchanged a glance and charged towards the numerous assassins from the Luo Wang organization. Yan Ri was too strong; if they joined the battle, it would inevitably be a fight to the death. In order to prevent others from reaping the benefits, they had to eliminate the assassins who were besieging them and bring the people from the Butian Pavilion into the battle to kill Yan Ri. Only in this way could they feel at ease.

With the addition of the Zongheng brothers, the already weakened Luowang assassins, who were suffering losses in the attacks by the men in black, were dealt a further blow.

A shifty-eyed assassin from the Luo Wang organization had always been on the fringes of battle, occasionally providing support with hidden weapons. However, with the arrival of the Zongheng brothers, he, who was on the periphery, suddenly became the first to bear the brunt and face the Zongheng brothers directly.

Before he could react, he single-handedly blocked the combined attack of the two swordsmen, at the cost of his life.
