Chapter 77: Piercing Cold Ice with a Flash of Light

  The overall situation has been settled. These four words appeared very naturally in Rosalie's mind after Mo Ye knelt down.

  She saw Mo Ye grab the sword he had thrown on the ground and rush towards King Chu, who was just regaining his dignity and preparing to punish him, like a black lightning bolt!

  As his heart moved, an ice wall appeared in front of King Chu. That ice wall was really too thin, and immediately after that, two more even thinner ones appeared behind it!

  That black lightning bolt didn't stop, the dark night and the sword in his hand seemed to have merged into one body. Losi only heard the continuous sound of breaking ice, Muye's speed made his entire body follow the sword in his hand, each sword breaking through the ice!

  Blood, along with the sword that broke through the thin ice wall, was the blood that flowed down from Chu Wang's lower abdomen after being stabbed, and that blood flowed onto the last ice wall that Luosiqi had hastily conjured up. As Mo Ye's wrist flipped over, the sword in his hand rotated and stirred, causing all three ice walls to shatter! Mo Ye took advantage of the momentum to retrieve his sword, blocking the next ice sword that Luosiqi struck out with. The ice sword hit Mo Ye's treasured sword, and he used this force to retreat backwards, without any hesitation, and then leapt towards the gate of Chu Wang's palace!

  As the King of Chu was stabbed in the abdomen and his life hung in the balance, including Fei Wuji, all his subordinates immediately picked up their swords and followed Mo Ye in a charge outward. They all knew that after this sword strike, whether the King of Chu lived or died, they would have to die even if they surrendered! Since they were going to die anyway, it was better to follow the powerful Mo Ye in a charge out, perhaps there would still be a chance to escape!

  Luosi didn't expect that she would suddenly appear in front of Mo Ye so perfectly, and was actually set up by him like this!

  When Mo Ye knelt down, it was the moment when Luo Siqi's nerves relaxed. Before that, whether it was Mo Ye's performance or Fei Wuji's performance, including the subordinates brought by Fei Wuji, they all showed a desperate and helpless look. Accompanied by Mo Ye's kneeling action, not only Luo Siqi, but also everyone in the entire palace at that time, might have felt that tonight's assassination plot would disappear with his kneel.

  However, among these people, perhaps only Mo Ye does not think so, and he is still the male protagonist of tonight's assassination mission!

  To be honest, Luo Xi had a tone in front of Mo Ye before and when he was about to kneel down and surrender, there was still a kind of: "What Night God Sect Master, being passed on by everyone as so divine, but not seeing himself just wilting down, one move has not passed and giving up resistance!" So even if she is satisfied with this outcome in her heart, she still can't help but look down on Mo Ye, even though he had been planning for a long time for this assassination!

  But this sword, the one that pierced through her hastily conjured ice wall, thoroughly shocked Rosalie. Mo Ye was no longer the coward who would surrender at the sight of a strong enemy in his heart; in that instant, he suddenly transformed into a wise man who intentionally showed weakness to lure others into a trap, and those who fell for it included Rosalie as well as Chu Wang, who was using his right hand to press against his abdomen but still couldn't stop the blood from flowing out between his fingers.

  This sword left him with no dignity at all, and he almost immediately fell into a screaming ordinary person, shouting for someone to come and bandage him quickly.

  After all, Luosi is still too young, so she relaxed her vigilance under Mo Ye's deliberate weakness. If Mo Ye had attacked her just now, she would have been able to stimulate the body's instinctive self-defense consciousness in a crisis and exert relatively strong counterattack ability against Mo Ye.

  But he attacked the King of Chu, and his action was so unexpected and fast, just in time for Luo Siqi to see him kneel down, and at this moment, her body and mind began to relax, while at this time, it was also when her spiritual power was low, and she had no strength to summon magic.

  So the hastily conjured ice wall in front of King Chu was so thin, and it was divided into three parts. The two behind were even thinner than the one in front, which was still Luosiqi's spiritual power that was barely summoned in a hurry.

  She took advantage of the ice wall slightly blocking Mo Ye's figure to summon an attack with her ice sword, which was also quite weak. This subconscious attack only summoned one ice sword, not only failing to attack Mo Ye but instead being used by him as a means to retreat in sync. By the time Mo Ye rushed out of the Chu King's bedroom door without stopping, the soldiers outside were all in disarray.

  Including Mo Ye, the rebels who followed closely and rushed out were stuck together with the soldiers outside. The palace guards led by Sima Yue would not let these assassins go so easily. These assassins were blocked at the gate of the Chu King's bedroom and could not rush out, while the soldiers who came to rescue the king from outside also could not rush in.

  The King of Chu had become very weak due to excessive blood loss. At this critical moment, Luosiqi rushed to the door and shouted at the guards who were trying to block the assassins: "The king has ordered these assassins to leave! Get out of the way!"

  This shout not only made the outer guards who were trying to block the assassins unexpected, but also the assassins who saw Mo Ye had already broken through their encirclement and they would definitely be unable to fly away, heard this voice that was like celestial music to them, it was also unbelievable.

  But the goddess is the goddess, no matter how unthinkable this command is, but the soldiers outside heard that the command came from her mouth, and they executed the command without any discount. Those rebel troops who didn't think they could escape were surrounded by their leader Fei Wuji and rushed out of the palace guard's encirclement, quickly rushing towards the direction of the palace gate!

  Simayi stepped forward and asked with a puzzled face: "Your Majesty, why do you want them to leave? What happened?"

  Luosi furrowed her brow and told him that the King of Chu had been stabbed by Mo Ye, asking him to quickly find someone to treat his wounds. In fact, she wasn't completely unprepared either. She looked in the direction where Mo Ye had escaped, comforted herself with a bitter smile, and hastily rushed towards the place where she had stored her tight-fitting clothes and Pi Xue sword. She wanted to change out of this inconvenient servant girl's uniform and prepare for the upcoming pursuit.

  Luosi thought to herself: "Mo Ye, you're ruthless, but things won't be settled that easily!"

  Night, it's already very dark. Tonight is not a full moon, the crescent moon hangs in the sky, appearing and disappearing, as if shrouded by a thin layer of fog, casting no strong light.

  Mo Ye had already left the pursuing soldiers far behind, and the guards who were originally guarding the palace gate tried to stop him to ask what was happening inside the palace, but Luo Siqi unexpectedly let all the rebels go, giving Mo Ye many people to entangle with the guards.

  It happened in a hurry, and he was too fast. The soldiers guarding the palace gate didn't even have time to close the gate, let alone that he was wearing the deputy commander's uniform of the palace guard. He shouted at the soldiers: "Quickly stop those rebellious guys behind me!" The gatekeeper was stunned for a moment, allowing him to run outside the palace gate.

  He reached the outer gate of the palace, and according to his pre-planned route, he jumped out from a short wall that was hidden from view. A forest not far away was only a few hundred meters outside the city walls, and at his speed, it would take him no more than a minute or two to reach there. Once he entered the forest, even if Losie came after him, even if she had thousands of soldiers following her, they wouldn't be able to find him in this vast sea of trees. He could calmly follow his pre-planned retreat route and head south back to Black Witch Mountain, where he would command his troops to fight against Kui Lei.

  Every tree in the forest cast dappled shadows under the faint moonlight, just like a dark night assassin with exceptional art and bravery. If it were someone else, they wouldn't dare to venture into this dark forest, let alone take a glance at the darkness hidden within from afar, their legs would tremble with fear, unable to move forward.

  Mo Ye was not afraid of these at all. Before he became the master of the Night God Sect, his master, who was also the previous master of the Night God Sect, You Ming, had taken him to places that were even more ominous than this forest sea. The darkness and terror in this forest sea might be insurmountable for others, but for Mo Ye, it was just a trivial matter.

  His footsteps were getting faster and the forest was getting closer. The current situation was the worst he could think of, and he never thought that Luoshiqi, who had followed the army far away, would suddenly appear in front of him. Before Luoshiqi left, he had already arranged for his outstanding subordinates to infiltrate the scouts and messengers of the Chu State Army, and as a precaution, he had arranged for dozens of subordinates to be on standby, just in case Luoshiqi made a sudden move to return to the palace, they could report back to him first.

  He hadn't received any reports about Rosy returning to the palace, and he couldn't understand what had happened to his subordinates. Even if one or a few of them were accidentally discovered by Rosy, it was impossible for dozens of people to come and inform him, yet not a single one came!

  He had no idea that before Luosi returned to the palace, she had used such a large-scale operation that would make Tianyu misunderstand. The formation she set up for intelligence control was not just Mo Ye arranging dozens of subordinates in the Chu State army. In that situation, even if he had arranged hundreds or thousands of people, it would have been useless!

  He was about to enter the forest, and once he entered this vast forest that could lead him far away, he would be like a fish in the sea, and no one would be able to stop him.

  His spirit was relaxed, just like Roskey who had knelt down not long ago. It was quiet here, with no enemy in sight. In a small town dozens of miles away from the forest sea, arrangements had also been made for his return to Black Witch Mountain to command the cult followers.

  But just at this moment, when he was only a few steps away from the edge of the forest and the big trees, a cold light suddenly flashed out on top of a large tree not far away in the forest.

  That cold light flashed like a shooting star, carrying the message of death, darting through the dark night sky, and rushing straight towards his heart!
