Lou Ze swiftly blocked an attack with his hand while simultaneously pushing Tang Jinghong and "Chu Qingzhi" to the side.
Tang Jinghong drew his sword and lunged at Hong Feiyun, who dodged the thrust, missing the strike. Lou Ze then slapped Hong Feiyun, causing her to inadvertently lunge toward Tang Jinghong's sword.
"Thwack—" the sound of the weapon piercing flesh was unsettlingly crisp.
Hong Feiyun looked at the sword impaled through her abdomen in disbelief. Why couldn't she resist when she was pushed just moments ago?
Tang Jinghong withdrew his sword. "Chu Qingzhi," standing at a distance, rushed forward in excitement, pulled out a dagger, and slit Hong Feiyun's throat. Blood splattered over her. "I have finally killed you, avenging my family. I have done it at last!"
Hong Feiyun's expression was one of shock and realization, succumbing to her wounds in resentment.
