Chapter 573 Conspiracy emerges
This arrow is faster and more powerful than a crossbow bolt.
Guo Zhixi, who was falling from the sky, had no foothold and could only watch helplessly as the crossbow bolt pierced her chest.
"Senior sister, be careful!" Lin Ping shouted, channeling all his inner strength into his feet, and darted like a rocket beneath Guo Zhixi.
However, the crossbow bolt was already very close to Guo Zhixi's body, and there was no time to jump normally.
"I'll risk it all, even if I die!" Lin Ping gritted his teeth and concentrated all his inner strength on his toes.
Bang!
The moment he jumped, another large crater appeared in the ground.
His body moved like a cannonball, almost as fast as a crossbow bolt.
Lin Ping once tried to increase the internal force in the soles of his feet, which did make him faster, jump higher, and fall harder.
He dared not imagine, nor did he have time to imagine, the consequences of using all his internal energy in the soles of his feet.
Guo Zhixi knew what Lin Ping was going to do, and risked injury to retrieve her longsword.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew by, and Lin Ping hugged Guo Zhixi's slender waist tightly, while the sharp crossbow bolt grazed his shoulder, leaving a long scar.
Lin Pingcai didn't have time to think about whether it hurt or not; he was worried about whether he would fall to his death.
The two were already more than 30 feet off the ground and were still slowly rising. If they were to fall directly to the ground, they would likely be disabled to the third degree.
"Sir, you're injured," Guo Zhixi said with concern, her heart filled with gratitude.
Lin Ping didn't answer this irrelevant question. Instead, he looked down and confirmed one thing: yes, it was the height from which he had fallen to his death.
When their bodies reached their highest point, the two were frozen in mid-air, and an inappropriate scene occurred.
"Senior sister, for the sake of me saving you, no matter what I do later, please don't be angry, and don't hold a grudge!" Lin Ping said earnestly.
Guo Zhixi nodded, unaware of the situation, but felt a little apprehensive.
This junior brother is quite a character; he's capable of anything.
hiss……
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Ping ripped off Guo Zhixi's dress, leaving her in only a plain white nightgown, perfectly showcasing her shapely figure.
Everyone was stunned, mostly out of excitement, wanting to see more. Guo Zhixi, however, was furious and wanted to kill Lin Ping.
But she couldn't; she had to keep her word.
Just as everyone was puzzled, Lin Ping opened her skirt and held it above her head, using it as a parachute.
"Don't be angry, senior sister. I'll return it to you after we land," Lin Ping said with a grin.
It must be said that the huge skirt did have an effect; the two people's falling speed was significantly reduced, and they finally landed successfully.
In a panic to save the dog's life, Lin Ping hurriedly draped the skirt over Guo Zhixi's shoulders, clearly seeing a pair of murderous eyes.
"There's a master lurking in the shadows, let's go!" Lin Ping said again.
Guo Zhixi also realized this problem. Hundreds of crossbowmen were already a stretch for her, and with this expert added to the mix, defeat was inevitable.
Completing the mission is important, but only by staying alive can we continue to complete it.
"Han Bofan, I will spare your life for now."
Even under these circumstances, Guo Zhixi's biggest desire to kill Han Bofan still demonstrates the importance of the mission to her.
Lin Ping didn't hesitate to explain to her, and hurriedly ran away while holding her hand.
As they rose into the air, they were stopped by a red lightning bolt.
"Want to leave? Not so easy." A tall, thin man said coldly, his red robe particularly eye-catching.
"Haha, with Mr. Snake here, you can forget about escaping. He's a master of the Nightshade Palace. I advise you to surrender and avoid being killed by Mr. Snake."
The appearance of the man in red robes gave the general immense confidence.
"Nightmare Palace? Aren't they helping Lotus Palace?" Guo Zhixi asked curiously.
Her understanding of the Nightmare Palace was limited to the Xuan Sha Sect.
Back then, the Xuan Sha Sect was hired by He Wei and others to do many bad things for the Lotus Palace.
Although Nightshade Palace is ruthless, Guo Zhixi thinks it's nothing to brag about.
When did such a master emerge from the Nightmare Palace? Why did they turn against the Lotus Palace?
"There are some things you don't understand. If you survive, I'll explain them to you slowly." Lin Ping smiled awkwardly.
To be honest, his understanding of the Nightmare Palace was also limited. He mistakenly believed that the other party had attacked the Lotus Palace because he had let the Xuan Sha Sect see He Wei's true nature.
Therefore, it seems that he brought this upon himself and is reaping the consequences of his own actions.
"It's just the Nightmare Palace, how dare it be an enemy of the Lotus Palace?" Guo Zhixi said disdainfully, and directly attacked the man in red robes.
Lin Ping wanted to stop them, but it was too late. He could only use X-rays to keep track of the two men's battle.
Clang clang clang!
In a flash, the darkness seemed to be illuminated by the shadow of the sword.
In a short span of time, the two drew their swords countless times.
Guo Zhixi quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and was eventually forced back by her opponent's sword, almost knocking Lin Ping down from behind.
“You are no match for him,” Lin Ping said, shaking his head.
Although his martial arts skills were lacking, his eyesight was excellent; he could see Guo Zhixi's weaknesses from her swordsmanship and movements just now.
Guo Zhixi is stubborn and, even though she knows she is no match for her opponent, she still wants to fight him.
"If we die here, we'll truly become pawns. Even if Lotus Palace manages to conquer the world, it will have nothing to do with Senior Sister," Lin Ping warned.
Everything Guo Zhixi did was to help her father conquer the world and eventually become the princess of the Wu Kingdom.
But if I die here, all my beautiful dreams will vanish like bubbles.
She wasn't stupid; she understood what Lin Ping meant.
"I suppose you don't want to kill us, do you? Two cold corpses won't be enough to prove our identities. If the Wu Kingdom denies everything and treats us as people from the Daye Dynasty, all your efforts will be in vain."
Lin Ping put on a playful smile again, trying to explain the reasons to the other party without being bossy.
Make the other person feel comfortable.
"So what? The Daye Dynasty will surely win this battle. We don't need a reason to fight," the other side said arrogantly.
"Wu Kingdom was originally a vassal state, so naturally it could not defeat the Daye Dynasty. But did it really not need a reason to go to war? Then why did you go to such lengths to stage this whole charade?"
"Even if the Daye Dynasty wins the war, it will be ridiculed by the world, and you will be made a scapegoat to give the world justice."
As he finished speaking, Lin Ping's tone turned cold.
What he said makes a lot of sense. The Daye Dynasty could indeed act arbitrarily, but it couldn't silence public opinion.
In order to quell public anger, a scapegoat had to be found, and this general was the first to be targeted.
"Therefore, you'd better capture us alive. Once we've proven our identities, the Wu Kingdom will naturally be in the wrong, and the Daye Dynasty will have a reason to go to war."
After speaking, Lin Ping obediently crossed his arms, letting the other party do as they pleased.
"Kid, you're smart to know what's good for you. Maybe I can let you live a few more days," the other man laughed heartily.
