When her last word finished, the woman pulled out a short dagger that previously was hidden on a pouch hung on her waist. It was the dagger that was forged by Ying. The dagger was the two branches dagger that she forged to disembowel Li Cong. She left the dagger at Hei Ya's house and forgot to bring it back with her.
The woman was very fast and agile, and before Ying could even unsheathe her sword, the woman's dagger had slashed her throat. The dagger was very sharp, that even a light touch on her skin had caused an inch-deep wound on Ying's neck. Blood instantly spurted from her neck.
Ying knew that the woman wanted her death. Therefore she's no longer hesitate. She used her unsheathed sword to hit the woman's body on her body to push her away. Yet the woman was fast and she dodged Ying's sword with her dagger. Luckily that both the sword and dagger were forged by Ying. Therefore although the dagger was very sharp, the sword's scabbard was unbreakable.
Blood dripped, nonstop from her neck. Although her nature as immortal caused her wound to heal quickly, the wound was pretty deep that it took a while for her blood to stop dripping. If she's not an immortal, she's definitely would have died because of losing blood.
The two immortal women, one was young, tall, and slim with white fair skin. The other woman was a bit old, short, and plump. They both knew, that it was a duel of death.
Thirteen years earlier, Ying was killed by bandits who plundered her troupe when she was heading to Wu State. At that moment, she preferred to die rather than be humiliated. Yet, the current Ying was no longer the young naive girl from the little village in Kuaiji Mountain. Now she's an immortal who had found her life purpose. She would not give in.
Madame Hei Ya was not weak at all. Compared to Hei Ya, she's more formidable.
"I have never killed another immortal before," Madame Hei Ya said while she's attacking Ying with her sword. "I guess it will be a momentum for me when I chop off your beautiful head!" She laughed happily and continued, "You have such beautiful hair. I think I could make some good brushes from it!"
Ying was aghast. She just realized that she's dealing with a crazy woman.
After all, Ying was still too young and inexperienced compared to that woman. After a while, the woman managed to press Ying easily.
The wound on Ying's neck had healed and blood was no longer flowing from her neck. She also had learned from his experience, she had to keep a distance from the women.
The woman was short, so it was not easy for her to slash Ying's neck with her sword again. But because she was short, it was much easier for her to attack Ying on the waist and legs.
She slashed her dagger into Ying's waist and legs and caused wounds on her. Her white clothes were stained with blood.
Yet, Ying didn't lose heart. Skill-wise, she's not a match for the woman. Now she could only defend herself and think of a way to escape.
While she was still busy thinking, the gut-splitting dagger in the woman's hand had pierced her stomach.
Ying felt great pain. Should he die once again with his intestines burst open?
"Even if I die, I don't want to die with my intestines bursting open again," Ying said in a voice choked with pain and anger.
With all her might she gripped the woman's hand which was holding the dagger and kept it intact on her stomach. Otherwise, as soon as the woman pulled out the dagger, her intestines would also burst out and her intestine would be cut into two.
The woman was shocked to see Ying's eyes suddenly turned red. The beautiful girl suddenly looked like a wild beast in a frenzy.
Ying didn't miss her chance. She kicked the woman on her abs while at the same time she's slashing her sword to cut the woman's right hand on her elbow.
The woman screamed in pain. Her body was bounced down a few meters with her half right hand was still holding the dagger and held tightly by Ying's left hand.
And while she's trying to get up, Ying's sword already cut off her head. The woman died, with her right hand amputated and her head was cut off.
Ying's hands trembled. She dropped her sword, and used her right hand to get rid of the woman's right hand, and threw it away.
Ying slowly pulled out the dagger that pierced her stomach. Her eyes became teary as she felt pain and also sickened with what she saw. Once again, she had to see how her intestine was pulled out.
Although she pulled it slowly, the dagger was very sharp. And when the dagger could be pulled out from her stomach, her intestine was almost cut off into two pieces.
With teary eyes, Ying tried to push her intestine back to her stomach while controlling her ragged breath. She knew that she wouldn't die. But having her intestine severed was very painful. And somehow it was very gory and creepy to see such a scene.
