Chapter 41 Killing My Sister to Prove My Dao
"Your knife is good."
Caesar, wearing a heavy diving suit, said breathlessly.
Even with his A-level physical abilities, he was already starting to feel the strain after a series of fierce battles.
The woman who appeared out of nowhere remained completely calm and composed.
She wore a black bodysuit that perfectly showcased her supermodel-like figure.
How could such a person appear in this dark and mysterious underground bronze city?
She should be on the runway in Paris, surrounded by flashing lights and the media.
Moreover, judging from the fact that this woman started fighting as soon as she appeared, she was definitely an enemy, not a friend.
"You look somewhat familiar," Caesar suddenly said.
He twisted his wrist, and the tip of the diving knife curled into a flower shape.
"You figured it out." The woman blinked. "Shude Aki is my sister, just not an identical twin."
Suddenly, Mai Shude reached out and curled her loose hair into a high ponytail.
"Want to come again?" she asked.
Caesar wanted to refuse, but the path in front of him was already blocked, leaving him nowhere to retreat, not to mention Xia Mi who had suddenly disappeared.
As the student council president, he would never do something that would damage his own honor, such as running away.
"Of course," he said.
The candlelight flickered and shone in the bronze palace lantern.
Two shadows crossed under the lamplight, and the sparks from the clashing blades illuminated their faces.
One face resembles a stone statue from ancient Rome, while the other looks like a beautiful woman stepping out of an ancient painting of court ladies.
This seems to be a battle destined to have no end.
Chen Wenwen, clutching a short knife, hid behind the stone platform, carefully observing the fight between the two.
If she had known that the so-called summer camp was actually an exploration of a mysterious ancient city underwater in the Three Gorges, she probably wouldn't have agreed at all.
After all, even someone as trained as her couldn't stand the atmosphere here.
If the former Chen Wenwen were standing here, she would have already collapsed to the ground, trembling with fear.
"Come on, you can do it." Chen Wenwen steadied herself. She decided that she couldn't just sit and wait for death. At least she had to help the struggling Mai Shude.
However, with her current strength, joining this conflict would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, so she must find a way to outsmart the enemy.
Chen Wenwen's gaze shifted and landed on a bronze pot not far away.
After making sure Caesar wouldn't notice her, she tiptoed to the bronze pot and picked it up.
Just as it was about to be thrown at Caesar, another loud bang was heard from within the Bronze City, and the ground shook violently.
Caesar and Mai Shude, who were engaged in fierce fighting, were unaffected, but Chen Wenwen, who was already unstable, was in a terrible predicament.
She stumbled, the jar slipped from her hand and smashed against a nearby wall, then the rim cracked open, and something splattered onto her face.
Chen Wenwen subconsciously touched it with her hand; it was a dark brown slurry that emitted a faint fragrance that made her want to get closer.
Her nostrils flared, and she couldn't help but take another deep breath.
A glint of greed crossed her face. Chen Wenwen slowly moved towards the opened jar and reached out her hand.
"Just a little bit shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Caesar and Mai Shude once again broke free from the entanglement and stood on opposite sides.
The two of them skillfully avoided their wetsuits, so although the fight looked intense, it didn't actually cause any damage.
"Your swordsmanship is quite good," praised Mai Shude.
It can be said that the fact that the opponent has such swordsmanship at this age is enough to put him among the top of his peers.
Moreover, Mai Shude had previously read Caesar's information and knew about his family background, which made it even more remarkable.
"You're not bad either," Caesar said, uttering these words.
As time ticked by, he had not only failed to find the missing Lu Mingfei and the others, but had also lost his teammate Xia Mi.
This made him extremely anxious; his pride prevented him from accepting such an outcome.
"Hmph." Mai Shude snorted coldly when she saw his eager posture.
Having been through many battles, she naturally understood what the other party was planning.
Unfortunately, the boss's orders were that everyone else in Bronze City was an enemy.
"I'm sorry, little brother." Mai Shude's lips parted slightly, a rare hint of seriousness appearing between her usually cold brows.
That being said, whether or not Caesar can be defeated is still an unknown, because so far, the opponent has not yet used his Word of Power.
"The game has only just begun," Caesar replied with a smile.
The field unfolds.
Word of Power: Kamaitachi.
The serial number, though low, was very useful. Everything around him now served as Caesar's eyes and ears.
"He heard it..." Caesar's expression suddenly darkened. He heard footsteps approaching, the footsteps were rapid, getting faster and faster, getting closer and closer.
Before Caesar could prepare, a dark figure flashed out from the passageway and arrived in front of the two in just a few steps.
But he swept past Caesar, who was on guard and ready to pounce, and past Mai Shutoku, who looked surprised and didn't know what to do, and threw a straight punch.
Chen Wenwen, who had somehow gotten close to the two of them, was sent flying backward, knocking over candlesticks and even bronze ritual vessels, until she finally stopped after hitting the wall.
What's going on?
Mai Shude was shocked. She didn't understand why Lu Mingfei, who had suddenly arrived, had defeated Chen Wenwen.
Something must have gone wrong.
Even disregarding the fact that he didn't see through Chen Wenwen's disguise, she was right here, how could Lu Mingfei not recognize her? He was the only protector of the Haotian Sect!
Sect Master, don't you want us anymore?!
Mai Shude felt a jolt in her heart, because she suddenly realized that something was wrong with her.
She quickly banished the jumbled thoughts from her mind and maintained a proper distance from Lu Mingfei.
Given that we don't know why the other party attacked so suddenly, this is already the best arrangement.
Caesar was equally surprised.
Although the woman in front of him was highly skilled, he was prepared and victory was in sight. However, he never expected that Lu Mingfei would steal his prize. How could he accept this? Even if the other party was an S-rank, this matter had to be made clear.
He took a few steps forward, just about to speak.
"Silence."
Lu Mingfei's voice rang out, cold yet unyielding.
The two people present subconsciously did as instructed.
Then, Caesar's expression changed drastically before he could reclaim the territory.
A rustling sound came from where Chen Wenwen had fallen to the ground. After a series of crackling sounds, she got up with an incredible speed.
"roar!"
Chen Wenwen raised her head, her golden eyes flashing with a fierce light, and fine blue scales had grown on her originally fair face.
"Is he really going to kill his sister to prove his path!?"
Mai Shude suddenly shuddered at the sight before her.
