Chapter 97: Desperate
After the first assassin exchanged a few moves with Yin Ruchen, he stopped attacking. When Yin Ruchen saw that his moves had turned into a defensive one, he also stopped attacking him, wanting to see what he was going to do. The masked assassin said to Yin Ruchen, "I am here to warn you. Don't dream of getting close to His Majesty. His Majesty is the ruler of a country, and it is impossible for you, a person of unknown origin, to succeed! This palace is so big and deep, don't think you can manipulate it. I am not here to kill you this time, but if you don't know what to do, the weapon will not have eyes next time!" Yin Ruchen found it more and more ridiculous, and only said one sentence: "I have never thought of getting close to His Majesty, you think too much." The assassin didn't say anything else, and disappeared in a blink of an eye as if he had completed his mission.
Yin Ruchen relayed all of the above to Zhao Lin and Yun Keyu. She continued, "The assassin did not approach the pot, nor did he make any other unusual moves. I don't think he was the one who poisoned it."
Yun Keyou asked anxiously: "What about the second assassin?"
"The second assassin is the one I suspected of poisoning me. This assassin obviously wanted to kill me. During the fight, he used fierce sword moves, each one attacking the vital points. During the fight, he once knocked the lid of the pot off, and later he seemingly accidentally put the lid back on. Who would normally put the lid on the pot during a fight?" Yin Ruchen said.
"Well, so it must be the poison of the second assassin! Then what happened?" Yun Keyu continued to ask anxiously.
"Then he continued to attack me with deadly moves..."
At that time, in order to protect herself and not hurt the opponent's life, Yin Ruchen could not fully exert the power of her superior kung fu. Once she let go, the opponent would surely die. It was really tiring for her to protect herself from being hurt by the opponent, and to ensure that she did not accidentally kill the opponent, but Yin Ruchen had no choice. First, she would never hurt anyone's life casually; second, she needed to understand the situation; third, she was already suspected of killing Feng Jinlei. If someone died in her room at this time, even if the person who died was an assassin who wanted to take her life, she would be in greater trouble and danger.
But the assassin was obviously a desperate criminal, and every move he used was extremely fierce. He looked like he was determined to completely eliminate Yin Ruchen. In order to ensure that he would not be hurt at all, Yin Ruchen sometimes failed to consider whether he would hurt him when he was resisting. When the assassin launched a series of attacks on Yin Ruchen, Yin Ruchen quickly resisted and accidentally stabbed his right shoulder with the sword.
The assassin not only chose not to stop, but immediately stabbed Yin Ruchen with the sword. Unexpectedly, the sword slipped from his hand just as his right arm holding the sword was straightened. The injury on his shoulder really caused a serious obstacle for him to continue attacking. Before the sword fell to the ground, he kicked the sword into his left hand with his foot. However, his left hand was not good at using the sword at all. After just a few moves, his sword was taken away by Yin Ruchen.
The assassin no longer had any weapons in his hands, so it was much easier for Yin Ruchen to dodge. She subdued him with one move and tore off his mask.
