Chapter 10: The Battle of Wits with the Evil Woman

  "You!"

  Hong Luolan didn't enrage Leiga, but instead got herself infuriated. She completely forgot about the delaying tactic and grabbed the giant sword's hilt to launch a fierce attack on Leiga.

  As the tip of the Cyan Sword disappeared, and he had no advantage in the duel, Leiga appeared calm on the surface but was actually anxious. He responded calmly to Rosaline's fierce attack while secretly searching for an escape route.

  The wooden bridge is just beside, if you can pass through the wooden bridge first, then cut off the bridge rope, Red Luo Lan will have no way to go...

  "Think you can still escape? No way!"

  Hong Luolan saw through Leiga's intentions, and with a flick of her wrist, two icy blue flying daggers sealed off Leiga's path. The black giant sword also wrapped around the Cangyu Sword, pulling it back forcefully. "Legendary Sword, return to me!"

  A thread of anger flashed through Lei's heart, but his own aura couldn't match Red Lotus', and the wound that had just healed was also aching under the strain, the Celestial Crane Sword seemed about to slip from his grasp.

  At the critical moment, Leiga suddenly had an epiphany, quickly leaning forward, and stuck to Roulan's body. Before Roulan could react, he reached out and touched Roulan's face...

  Hong Luolan let out a loud cry and hastily released the Cang Ya Sword.

  It may be too late now. The crimson triangular mask was torn off and fell into a puddle of blood and mud like autumn leaves.

  Before his eyes, a stunningly beautiful face appeared, with tender skin that seemed almost translucent, a pointed chin that trembled slightly, and small lips that were tightly pursed - no acne, no crooked teeth, not even a misshapen mouth... a true beauty.

  Leigh stifled the urge to take a deep breath, but his body remained frozen in shock.

  "I..."

  Hong Luolan's voice trembled as she took a deep breath, the old-fashioned tone and majestic air in her words completely changed to a different tune: "I... I want to kill you!"

  Lei Ga suddenly woke up and rushed towards the wooden bridge with his Cang Hu sword before Hong Luo Lan could make a move.

  "Red Roland caught up, his massive sword dancing with a whooshing sound, 'Rega! You stand still for me!'"

  "Pick up your mask first!" Lei Ga shouted back without turning his head!

  Hong Luolan hastily stopped in her tracks, stomped her foot in frustration, turned around to pick up the mask, and re-tied it with a relatively clean side. Back and forth, she had already wasted quite some time, and when she turned back, Leiga had taken advantage of the opportunity to run to the middle of the wooden bridge.

  "You're just a fourth-rate warrior who's not even worth mentioning, and yet you dare to mock me like this!"

  Hong Luolan exerted her strength and chased after him wildly. Between her slender, pale fingers, an icy blue flying dagger suddenly appeared out of thin air, shooting towards Leiga's back.

  The power of Binglan Feici's Lei Jia was something he had seen before, and he hastily used his Canghui sword to block it. Although the chilled Canghui sword managed to deflect the merely superior-grade Binglan Feici, the tenth-stage Dou Qi attached to the flying needle still shook him so much that his tiger's mouth felt numb, and a faint sweetness of blood emerged from his dry mouth. The Canghui sword almost slipped out of his hand amidst the vibrations and humming.

  "Hey, you don't have a pimple on your face, is it necessary to kill me to silence me?"

  "Shut up!" Red Roland gritted her teeth and said, "I just can't let people see my face!" She suddenly closed her mouth tightly and shot another flying needle at Leica.

  Lei Ga was unable to dodge on the narrow wooden bridge, and could only grit his teeth again and use the Cang Hu sword to block the flying stabs. This time, his arm felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and the wound in his ribs hurt even more. Lei Ga couldn't help but get angry: "I don't care who you are, if your mouth is crooked, maybe I'll take another look!"

  "Your mouth is crooked!"

  Hong Luolan let out a loud roar and jumped onto the swaying wooden rope bridge, shooting out another flying needle.

  Lei Ga moved forward with difficulty while turning around to block the flying stabs, his speed getting slower and slower. At a glance, he was about to be caught up by Hong Luo Lan, the situation becoming more and more critical.

  "If you keep chasing me, I won't be polite anymore!"

  "Fourth-order Dou Qi is everywhere on the streets, and you dare to intimidate me?" Hong Luolan's eyes widened, and she pulled out a flying needle from her long robe, aiming it at Leiga.

  Lei Ga didn't wait for Fei Ci to let go, suddenly sinking down, using force to press the elastic wooden bridge, a strong inertia sent Hong Luolan flying up into the air. She let out a childish cry of surprise, her two hands tightly grasping the old rope, her big eyes wide with terror, completely devoid of the ferocity of a 10th stage warrior.

  "Lei Ga, you shameless bastard!"

  Hong Luolan shouted in a delicate voice: "If you have the ability, fight a fair and square match with me!"

  A good man does not fight with a woman.

  Lei Ga didn't give Hong Luo Lan a chance to get up, while retreating, he shook the rope left and right, causing the entire wooden bridge to swing along with it.

  "Red Roland yelled again, hugging the rope tightly. 'Shameless! Bastard! I must kill you!'"

  "Go ahead and scold me."

  Lei Ga said indifferently, "After a few more swings, I'll reach the other shore. At that time, I'll cut off the rope at the bridgehead and let you fall into the icy river water."

  "How dare you!"

  " You're a little bastard who'll never make it past fifth rank in your entire life..."

  A surge of anger swept through Leiga's heart, "I may only be at the fourth stage now, but without relying on the Cangyu Sword, I can still defeat you, a tenth-stage cultivator!" He continued to shake the wooden bridge vigorously, the entire bridge deck was like a small boat sailing between raging waves, as if it might capsize at any moment.

  Hong Luolan was dazed and turned around, her entire body lying on the wooden rope bridge. "Little rascal..." She crawled towards Lei Ga with a very ungraceful posture on the bridge planks.

  "Don't mess with me!"

  Lei Ga was taken aback, this vicious woman had gone mad and didn't even care about her image. He hastily increased his strength to shake the bridge, but the rope of the wooden bridge was severely aged and had just experienced a storm last night. After several shakes, the ropes on the edge broke immediately.

  Lei Ga couldn't help but take a deep breath and abandoned his shaking, turning around to run towards the opposite bank.

  Hong Luolan seized the opportunity to climb up, learning from Le Ga's appearance, her body sank, and she shook the rope vigorously. "It's my turn!"

  Lei Ga shouted loudly: "Stop swaying! The bridge is going to collapse!"

  "Red Roland didn't believe it at all, 'You little rascal, do you think you can deceive me? Why is it that when you shake, nothing happens, but when I shake, it breaks? Do you take me for a fool?'"

  The words had barely fallen when a loud "crack" was heard, and the main rope of the wooden suspension bridge snapped in two. The other ropes could not bear the weight that did not originally belong to them, and they also snapped one after another. A few seconds later, the entire wooden suspension bridge broke completely in two. Splinters flew everywhere, and the broken wooden blocks heavily crashed into the turbulent river below, without even a ripple being stirred up.

  Rolan let out a loud shriek and hastily employed the "Lotus Step", borrowing the power of her orange-red aura to propel herself into the air for several steps. In her panic, she desperately clutched at everything within reach. It wasn't until she lifted her head, still in shock, that she realized what she was holding onto was one of Rega's feet.

  Lei Ga felt his whole body tense up, the warm and upright chest tightly squeezed his feet, as if he had stepped into a cotton ball. But at this time, he didn't have time to think more, just grasping the wooden plank of the suspension bridge tightly.

  "Little rascal..."

  "Red Roland's voice trembled with rage as he shouted, his hands not daring to relax, 'If you dare to have any wild thoughts, I'll kill you right now!'"

  "My legs are almost pulled off by you, what else can I think about? You're too heavy, quickly throw away the giant sword behind you! Otherwise, we'll both fall down!"

  Hong Luolan hesitated for a moment, gritted her silver teeth, "This debt will be settled on your head!" After finishing speaking, she took off the giant sword and threw it into the river.

  Lei Ga tried to climb up a bit, but the second wooden board was even more fragile than the previous one and couldn't withstand the weight of two people. The board shattered in Lei Ga's hands, and he let out a low cry as he fell into the river with Hong Luo Lan.

  The river water was icy and piercing to the bone, with a surging momentum. Lei struggled in the waves for several rounds before gradually stabilizing his body.

  "Help!"

  Hong Luolan desperately tried to drill out of the water, but always just exposed her head and sank again, "Save me, I don't know how to swim——" After several struggles, she no longer surfaced.

  Lei Ga had already swum to the riverbank, saw Hong Luolan sink into the water, hesitated for a moment, and finally swam towards the place where Hong Luolan was drowning.

  He plunged into the murky water, feeling his way to Roulan's arm and pulling her up with all his might. Roulan's lungs were filled with water, and she had lost consciousness. Leiga wrapped his arms around Roulan's waist and strained every muscle, but he couldn't push her out of the water.

  He bewilderedly touched the red Luo Lan's long gown, and felt a handful of cold and heavy flying needles. As he continued to touch along the flying needles, the entire long gown was full of them, with over a hundred or more.

  This is really opening a flying knife shop! It seems that this evil woman, even if she's not a hereditary noble, must be the daughter of a local lord - a wealthy family. Rega didn't have time to think about it, and with great force tore open her long gown, then pressed against Red Roland's elastic buttocks, rushed out of the water, and dragged her towards the shore.

  The triangular mask of red velvet had been washed away by the current, and her face, once so pure and now so wicked, was revealed again. Her complexion was pale, her lips tightly closed, and she was completely breathless. Rega pulled her to the riverbank and laid her flat, pressing down on her chest with force.

  Hong Luolan was wearing only a thin silk shirt inside, which became transparent after being soaked in water. On her pointed chest, two red beans stood proudly upright.

  Evil spirit.

  Lei Ga leaned over, trying not to look at Hong Luolan's **. He continued to press down on Hong Luolan's chest with his palm, then pried open her cherry lips and blew air into her mouth.

  Hong Luo coughed up a mouthful of murky water, dazedly opening her eyes to see Lei Ga stretching out a pair of demonic hands in front of her chest, his mouth still...

  "Bastard!"

  She let out a weak roar and suddenly spat out a golden needle from the tip of her tongue at Lei Ga.

  Lei Ga dodged hastily and turned back, already furious, "I saved you with good intentions, yet you still want to kill me? Go die on your own, evil woman!"

  He stood up with a huff, wrung out the water from his clothes, grabbed the Cang Yu sword, and walked towards the dense forest of the river valley without looking back.
