Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: Defeated This Guy

Xiao Xiao’s performance seemed casual, but every move, every word carried an immense confidence, making it hard to doubt her identity.

Although the expert remained on guard, it was clear that Xiao Xiao’s words had somewhat shaken him.

He was silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Xiao a few times, and finally said, "Since you are acting under orders, then go ahead. But don’t blame me for reminding you, this is a critical area. If anything goes wrong, you’ll have to bear the consequences yourself."

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao quickly nodded in agreement, "Of course, of course, thanks for the reminder, brother. I’ll leave as soon as I’m done, and I won’t trouble you."

Xiao Xiao skillfully approached the expert, each step calculated to perfection. The short knife in her palm slid quickly, ready to make a fatal strike at the crucial moment.

At the moment when the expert slightly relaxed his vigilance, Xiao Xiao suddenly exerted her strength, the blade swift as lightning, stabbing towards the expert’s side abdomen.

Her movements were silent, carrying a fierce aura.

The expert felt intense pain from his abdomen, a painful scream almost forcing its way out of his throat.

His body lurched forward, preparing to use his sword to force Xiao Xiao back.

However, Xiao Xiao’s blade did not linger; she quickly retreated, her figure as agile as a snake, dodging the expert’s retaliatory sword light. The expert’s face became grave; he knew he had been tricked, but now was not the time to think about it.

Before the expert could fully recover, Xiao Xiao had already retracted her short knife and swiftly retreated.

Watching the opponent’s reaction, she felt a surge of delight in her heart, ready to continue maintaining her advantage.

The expert immediately sensed danger, his expression turning serious, with the longsword in his hand fully extended, the sword light flashing, directly pressing towards Xiao Xiao.

Ye Qingchen stood on the side, his gaze sharp as a hawk, closely watching every detail of the battle.

He was prepared to intervene at the right moment, ensuring no more unpredictable developments.

As the expert’s attacks grew fiercer, Xiao Xiao was forced to retreat step by step, her movements agile but clearly feeling the opponent’s pressure.

Every swing of the expert’s sword was as swift as a rainbow, cutting through the air with a piercing sound.

Xiao Xiao occasionally counterattacked, using her short knife to weave around the expert. Although her attacks were not as powerful as the expert’s, she relied on speed and agility to continuously find flaws, trying to weaken the opponent’s momentum.

Whenever the expert’s sword momentum slightly slowed, she would swiftly strike, accurately hitting the target, making the expert’s attack even heavier.

Ye Qingchen saw Xiao Xiao’s attacks becoming increasingly methodical, skillfully creating one gap after another.

At this moment, Ye Qingchen decided to step in personally. His figure moved swiftly like a ghost, avoiding the expert’s sword light, and quickly appeared at the opponent’s side.

Ye Qingchen’s movements were clean and efficient; he leapt high, kicking towards the expert’s back knee. The expert felt intense pain in his knee, causing his body to involuntarily bend slightly, and the sword light became disorganized as a result.

The expert strained to look back in pain, but Ye Qingchen had already quickly dodged away, his movements smooth and natural, like dancing in the air. The expert’s attacks became slower, his eyes full of anger and fatigue.

Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity to adjust her posture, wielding her short knife, pressing directly towards the expert’s shoulder.

The expert tried to block with his sword, but he was already struggling, and finally, Xiao Xiao’s blade pierced his shoulder.

The expert’s longsword slid across the ground with a harsh sound, and he fell to his knees in pain, covering his shoulder with both hands, trying to alleviate the pain.

Seeing this, Ye Qingchen immediately rushed forward, kicking the expert’s sword away, firmly subduing him.

Even though the expert was subdued by Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao, he had not completely given up. Taking advantage of a moment when Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao slightly relaxed their vigilance,

he suddenly exerted his strength, leaping up from the ground and launching a vigorous attack. The expert used all his strength, the longsword in his hand emitting dazzling sword light, rapidly charging towards Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao.

Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao were caught off guard by the expert’s sudden counterattack, feeling surprised.

Ye Qingchen had no time to react and was forced to retreat a few steps immediately, the sword light slicing through the air with a piercing sound.

Xiao Xiao was also forced to retreat step by step, her short knife unable to deal with the opponent’s attacks, anxiously searching for flaws.

The expert’s sword momentum was fierce and precise, each strike carrying powerful force, as if aiming to cut his opponent in two.

Although Ye Qingchen was agile, it was still difficult to withstand such an offensive. He could only keep retreating, swiftly adjusting his position to avoid being directly hit by the sword light.

Xiao Xiao cooperated seamlessly from the side, using her short knife to block some of the attacks, but she was clearly also struggling.

During the battle, the expert attacked while searching for flaws in Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao. His actions were swift and fierce, the long sword whipping up gusts of wind. Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao had to keep moving, skillfully dodging the attacks while searching for opportunities to counterattack.

Ye Qingchen’s swordsmanship was exquisite, each counterattack attempting to hit the opponent’s weakness, but the expert’s defense was extraordinarily solid, skillfully deflecting several exchanges.

Xiao Xiao’s movements were equally swift, trying to find opportunities within the expert’s offensive. Her short knife moved quickly within the expert’s sword momentum, each attack cautious and striving for precision. She occasionally used her body’s agility to move around the expert, hoping to find the best opportunity to attack.

The expert’s attacks grew increasingly fierce, clearly no longer concerned about expending energy. Ye Qingchen sensed the opponent’s madness and knew he must end the fight quickly.

He suddenly made a bold decision, pretending to be injured, quickly drawing the expert’s attention.

Seeing this, the expert immediately intensified his attacks, attempting to defeat Ye Qingchen in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao seized the opportunity, swiftly attacking from one side, her short knife stabbing directly towards the expert’s side abdomen.

The expert realized the situation was dire and hastily counterattacked, but it was too late to stop it. Xiao Xiao’s attack was precise and nimble, finally hitting the expert’s weakness. The expert’s longsword was forced back, and he retreated painfully, his body teetering.

Ye Qingchen took the opportunity to advance, swiftly striking, accurately hitting the opponent’s vital point.

The expert let out a muffled grunt, his body slumping to the ground, his longsword slipping down as well. His breath gradually weakened, clearly no longer capable of continuing the battle.

Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao remained vigilant, closely monitoring the expert’s movements to ensure he would not counterattack again.

The expert writhed on the ground in pain, his face full of anger and despair.

He knew he had been defeated, unable to resist further. Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao exchanged glances, a sense of relief washing over them.

The battle had been intense, but they had finally completely defeated the expert.

Next, they needed to continue with their plan to ensure Qin Yue could safely escape the predicament.
