Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

Chapter 96 Immortal

"That was a close call. Luckily I still have a trick up my sleeve."

The old man with the knife immediately took a few steps back. Obviously, he didn't have time to react to Ye Qing's sudden sword attack, and he couldn't even raise his knife to block it.

It seemed that he relied on some special equipment or skills to block Ye Qing's sword.

The two of them distanced themselves again, and Ye Qing was not in a hurry to attack immediately. He expected the old man's behavior. If he really believed what the old man said about "testing the sword", then Ye Qing's game would be in vain.

It’s good enough if you can believe half of what most of the NPCs say in this game.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Xin, who was standing behind, sneered and shook his head, ready to take action at any time.

"Aren't you going to test the sword, old man? Why are you playing with something else?"

Ye Qing swung the sword in his hand, and the sword of justice was immediately covered with a dark purple mist, indicating that the magic sword of dark elements had arrived.

She smiled and walked towards the old man with the knife again. The sword just now had already made the prince feel extremely oppressed.

After all, this was the first time in all these years that he saw this old man who had always cleaned up his mess being beaten so badly by a sudden attack.

But the old man just smiled and put on his stance again, without responding to Ye Qing's words.

The next moment, Ye Qing accelerated at full speed and rushed forward again.

The dark purple magic sword left a series of afterimages in the air, as if the entire sword body was blurred, but the old man holding the sword narrowed his eyes and slowly lowered his body.

Until the moment the sound of breaking air appeared, the long sword in the old man's hand suddenly slashed upwards.

But such a reaction only grazed the sword blade, and Ye Qing's figure rushed to the old man's side again, and the dark purple sword blade had already cut the old man in half.

This time the old man still didn't have time to block, and he couldn't even interfere with Ye Qing's attack.

When the dark purple sword was about to cut him, the transparent "barrier" appeared again.

"hiss!!"

However, Ye Qing was not bounced back. The sword in his hand slid across the old man's waist smoothly. He turned around and used the Imperial Sword Skill to kill the old man again.

It was not until this moment that the old man seemed to suddenly realize something, and his left hand, which was not holding the long sword, suddenly grabbed for the blade.

White mist emanated from the old man's palm. Even though Ye Qing now had extremely high strength, he still felt that the sword in his hand was suddenly out of control.

Without having time to think, Ye Qing almost followed his instinct and swung out a magic sword to blast.

The exploding dark element directly disturbed the mist in the old man's hand, and this force also sent him flying.

But at the moment the old man flew backwards, the long sword suddenly tore through the spreading mist and went straight into Ye Qing's pupil.

Such a close distance and such a fast speed, there is almost no possibility of reaction.

"Sister Ye Qing!"

When Zhao Xin saw this, he raised his hand and wanted to shoot the long knife away.

But even at such a close distance, Ye Qing actually reacted and used the sword of justice to block in front of him, forcibly blocking the fatal flying "sword".

The enormous force caused the sword of justice to tremble, and even Ye Qing was shaken away. He retreated several steps before he could stabilize his body.

After taking such a blow, Ye Qing laughed instead.

After a few moves, she finally had the chance to see this "skill" unique to the Eastern Continent.

The long sword that was bounced away turned around and flew back, passed through the spreading clouds and mist, and returned to the old man.

"It's a great skill to be able to take this move the first time you see it."

I saw the old man slowly walking out of the mist, and the long sword was like a flying sword in the novels about cultivating immortals, floating beside him and moving forward with him.

That long sword was not a weapon used simply for chopping from beginning to end, but a long-range weapon used as a "flying sword".

Ye Qing sneered. She had already guessed it since she first saw the old man holding the knife like that.

It was not until she confirmed her guess after two attempts and discovered that the old man's grasp of close combat was actually rough.

It's just that this "sword-controlling technique" is a method used by those "immortals" in the Eastern Continent. In this Eastern Continent, demons are much more common than immortals.

"Why all this nonsense?"

Ye Qing walked forward again, ready to swing his sword to kill the old man at any time.

It’s not like she hasn’t killed immortals before. Even if it’s a god, as long as the health bar lights up, Ye Qing will kill him in front of her!

But this time, the sudden noise above his head made Ye Qing stop.

The hurried footsteps and horse hooves clearly indicated that a large number of troops had arrived here, and their purpose seemed self-evident.

The old man who was riding the sword also stopped, and the long sword floating at his side returned to the scabbard.

"Hero, I guess there's no need to fight any further now, right?"

Naturally, he took another step back and did not intend to continue fighting with Ye Qing, although the old man with the sword knew in his heart that he had actually been at a disadvantage in the brief fight just now.

What's more, with Ye Qing's strength, even he wouldn't have much chance of winning.

When things got to this point, Zhao Xin, who initially wanted to kill the prince, also hesitated.

If Zhao Xin had more or less intended to kill the old man to silence him when facing the threat from the old man just now, there would be no third party present who would know that they were the ones who killed someone.

But now the old man's people have arrived, and if the fight continues they will inevitably get into an even more troublesome situation.

"Sister Ye Qing, how about we look for another opportunity another day?"

Although Zhao Xin was unwilling, she had to admit that the current situation was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to them.

But Ye Qing still stood in front of the old man, with no intention of putting away the sword in his hand. He just spoke calmly in the team channel.

"Xiao Xin, I just want to ask you one question."

Her expression remained unchanged, and her eyes were calm without any other emotions flashing through them. Instead, this made the old man who wielded the sword subconsciously take a step back.

He had never seen such a look in someone of this age. It was as if in Ye Qing's eyes, the whole world was so simple that only "enemy" and "me" remained.

He had only seen such a look in one person, the one from the Ying clan...

"To kill, or not to kill."

------------------

Half an hour later, the city

The players who dealt with the soldiers on the street rushed to the City Lord's Mansion and surrounded it.

At this time, it was not that they wanted to capture the City Lord's Mansion, but because they had received a mission during the battle.

The name of the mission is also very simple, just two words - quell the rebellion

This further justified the players' actions, and the messenger who issued the mission also came here with them and was the first to enter the City Lord's Mansion.

"I didn't expect that we would end up fighting the rebels?"

Gao Yu was sitting on a nearby railing at the moment, looking at the players surrounding the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, and shrugged at Wu Yonghe and Li Yue.

At the beginning, they were all prepared to be "wanted" by the Eastern Empire, or even become regional red names.

In the end, their actions turned out to be just and even received support from the Eastern Empire.

"I always feel that this matter is not that simple..."

"What's the matter? Is it because Captain Ye hasn't shown up yet?"

Before Wu Yonghe could finish his words, Li Yue deliberately teased him in a strange voice, making him sigh helplessly.

Now, not only people in the outside world, but even people inside Longyin feel that Wu Yonghe seems to have some "feelings" for Ye Qing.

Even Wu Yonghe himself didn't know where the rumor came from, and any statement to the outside world at this time would only make the situation worse.

"You believe this? It's just too much of a coincidence."

Wu Yonghe shook his head. From the capture of the general just now to the appearance of the imperial messenger, everything seemed too coincidental.

How could someone appear at this time, give them a "task", and then lead them to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion?

The City Lord's Mansion has been cleared by the regular army, and players no longer have "any need" to enter it. Or to put it bluntly, players are denied entry to the City Lord's Mansion.

Coupled with the existence of the so-called "rebels", the so-called legitimation situation is further strengthened.

There are not so many coincidences in this world, especially when all the coincidences occur at the same moment, this so-called coincidence seems more like it was arranged by someone.

Wu Yonghe really hated the feeling of being kept in the dark, let alone being blatantly kept in the dark.

"Hmm... I think if you, Captain, send a message to Captain Ye now, maybe we can find out something?"

Li Yue blinked her cute big eyes and spoke to Wu Yonghe very seriously.

In the center of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Qing and the other two watched the soldiers trying to break down the locked door.

However, the talisman engraved on the door emitted a faint light, blocking all their attacks.

There were even some sorcerers who were constantly using spells to try to break the spell, but no matter what they did, it was of no effect.

"No, Mr. Yuan, we can't open this door either."

The warlocks in grey robes shook their heads. They had tried all their methods, but none of them worked.

At this moment, a messenger quickly came to the side of the old man wielding the sword and winked at him.

"That's all we can do. Heroes, are you willing to go outside with us? The Empire has always been very ..."

Faced with the goodwill shown by Mr. Yuan, Ye Qing just shook his head.

Since Ye Qing was unwilling, Zhao Xin and Zhao Manying would naturally not agree either. Old Yuan also shook his head with regret.

Chapter 97: Mechanical Doll

There are not many soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion right now, and their attributes are even worse than those of the magic soldiers, not to mention their levels.

It was obviously this "immortal" like Old Yuan who led the team, but his subordinates were just small fry of such strength. This actually made Ye Qing somewhat wary of the other party's possible backup plans.

These soldiers did not stay outside the door any longer, and followed Mr. Yuan and the prince out.

Until the other party left, Zhao Xin could still feel the hatred in the prince's eyes.

This made her grit her teeth, and then she looked at Ye Qing with apology.

"Sister Ye Qing, I'm sorry..."

"Sorry for what?"

Watching the group of people leaving, Ye Qing actually breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that Zhao Xin's apology was unnecessary.

Especially in the current situation, she should be "thankful" that she did not insist on killing the prince.

"I don't......"

"It was my choice to stand against them. It's not your fault."

Ye Qing shook her head and interrupted Zhao Xin who was about to say something. She didn't want her teammates to feel burdened by this.

It was obviously a decision made by everyone together. Are you going to push your teammates out when you have to take the blame?

She couldn't do this kind of thing, nor was she willing to do it, especially as the captain she had to be able to take responsibility.

If you try to shirk responsibility or blame others at this time, it will only make your teammates more afraid to make decisions on the spot.

Zhao Xinben wanted to say something, but Zhao Manying beside her stopped her and shook her head at her.

"As for what happened here, let's not make it public, and don't say anything about what we dealt with in the cellar."

Ye Qing sighed. The prologue of the legendary mission had not yet been completed, which made her a little uneasy.

This is not difficult to understand. After dealing with the middle-aged man's power in the city, the protection mission is still not completed, which means that the threat to the prince still exists.

Now that Mr. Yuan is around, the protection mission has not been completed or disappeared...

"Speaking of this...Sister Ye Qing, when that person left just now, he left this behind."

Zhao Xin finally found an opportunity and took out the "block" with a unique handle from his inventory.

Cubes? And they were left behind by the middle-aged man when he left. This clearly shows that they are related to this room.

Taking the cube from Zhao Xin, Ye Qing placed it against the lock in front of the door.

With a transformation of the mechanical structure, the palm-sized block suddenly changed in Ye Qing's hand and turned into a slender key.

"No one..."
