Chapter 294: Zhang Zhang Jiani's Deadly Sword Leads the Counterattack

At the same time, Zhang Zhang Jiani never expected that the first target Pang Pang Wenguang would attack would be herself. She pressed her lips together, her delicate brows furrowing slightly, stared at the large blade in Pang Pang Wenguang's hand opposite her, gritted her silver teeth, and said coldly, "You do not have the ability to fight my husband. Pang Pang Wenguang, prepare to die!"

Before her words had even faded, she moved with the speed of lightning before one could cover one's ears; the short sword in her hand turned into a streak of white light, rushing straight to stab at Pang Pang Wenguang's face. This strike was fast, ruthless, and accurate; the sword tip pointed exactly to take Pang Pang Wenguang's life.

Pang Pang Wenguang also did not expect this delicate woman to strike so decisively; a shock flashed across his face, and he hurriedly held his large blade horizontally to block. Only the loud crash of metal clashing was heard; the two weapons collided, and Zhang Zhang Jiani was knocked back several stumbling steps by the powerful recoil, almost losing her balance.

Jiang Jiang Mingyu and Tu Tu Kesiluo's faces changed; they did not expect that in the very first round, Zhang Zhang Jiani had already fallen into a disadvantage.

"As expected of a mere woman; let your husband come and die!" Seeing the situation, Pang Pang Wenguang struck at Zhang Zhang Jiani with another slash.

"Enough nonsense..." Zhang Zhang Jiani could not dodge in time, and her words cut off abruptly!

"Zhang Jiani!" Jiang Jiang Mingyu was greatly alarmed and was about to rush forward, but he saw Tu Tu Kesiluo hold him back, saying softly, "Big brother, just watch. I have everything under control!"

He knew his daughter-in-law too well; if he intervened at such a moment, it would only make Zhang Zhang Jiani even more furious. It seemed only by letting her fight a satisfying battle first would Tu Tu Kesiluo have a chance to intervene...

While surprised, Jiang Jiang Mingyu could only wait quietly for the event to unfold. He believed in Tu Tu Kesiluo's ability and only hoped that Zhang Jiani would be completely safe...

At this time, the battle between the two had already become deadlocked. Although Zhang Zhang Jiani was in a disadvantage, she was still holding on, with life and death hanging by a thread. Pang Pang Wenguang showed no mercy whatsoever, seeking only a quick victory!

And Tu Tu Kesiluo, standing aside watching the fight, merely watched silently, with no intention whatsoever to intervene and help. He knew his daughter-in-law too well; if he intervened at such a moment, it would only make Zhang Zhang Jiani even more furious. It seemed only by letting her fight a satisfying battle first would Tu Tu Kesiluo have a chance to intervene...

Watching the two entangle in combat once again, Jiang Jiang Mingyu could not help but sweat for Zhang Zhang Jiani. Was this woman truly causing trouble out of love, or did she have some backing? He could only place his hope in Tu Tu Kesiluo, hoping Zhang Zhang Jiani would not suffer too great a loss...

The second clash between Zhang Zhang Jiani and Pang Pang Wenguang was more intense than the first.

Pang Pang Wenguang raised his blade to sweep, the blade shining brilliantly, unstoppable as a bamboo forest being split. Zhang Zhang Jiani's steps were light, her figure elusive, but she was still knocked back several steps, her face becoming paler and paler.

Her sword moves began to show flaws, and her speed slowed down. Pang Pang Wenguang's eyes lit up; he pursued with several consecutive slashes, forcing Zhang Zhang Jiani to retreat step by step.

At this moment, both Jiang Jiang Mingyu and Tu Tu Kesiluo stood up, gripping the handles of their weapons tightly.

Just as Zhang Zhang Jiani was about to be unable to hold on, she suddenly rolled smoothly along with the momentum, sliding between Pang Pang Wenguang's legs, and flipped over with the momentum to jump several zhang away.

"That was close!" Jiang Jiang Mingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhang Zhang Jiani had suffered heavy losses, she had at least preserved her life.

Pang Pang Wenguang let out a cold sneer and strode toward Zhang Zhang Jiani. This time, his killing intent was even stronger.

Zhang Zhang Jiani's face was deathly pale, but she still stood firm, biting her teeth, her posture proud. She knew that this time, it was a life-and-death battle!

Jiang Jiang Mingyu and Tu Tu Kesiluo silently clenched their fists. They also realized that Zhang Zhang Jiani faced many dangers and little hope this time...

Seeing Pang Pang Wenguang so heroic, the garrison on the city wall immediately shouted loudly.

"Good!" "Good!" "Good!" The cheers of the garrison soldiers rose and fell, boosting morale and cheering for the city's strongest Commander, my lord.

Yu Feng, the deputy commander left behind by order, jumped with excitement even more, shouting loudly, "Quick, beat the war drums! Cheer for our Great Pang Commander, my lord!" Only the sound of war drums booming like thunder was heard, the momentum magnificent.

This drum sound seemed to greatly boost Pang Pang Wenguang's prestige. He saw his eyes shoot forth light, his chest high, and a domineering aura radiating from his entire body, like a wild beast looking down on the world.

He pointed far away at the thin woman before him, let out a cold sneer, his eyes full of mockery: "A mere woman, yet dares to spar with me, my lord? Today, this blade will send you to the afterlife!"

Before his words had even faded, Pang Pang Wenguang was seen leaping into the air; the long blade in his hand was suddenly flung out, emitting a sharp "whoosh" sound, so fast it was difficult to capture with the naked eye. This blade was extremely sharp, pointing directly at Zhang Zhang Jiani's chest.

Facing this critical strike, Jiang Jiang Mingyu and Tu Tu Kesiluo's hearts tightened. Zhang Zhang Jiani's face was now ashen; they both assumed she had reached her limit.

Jiang Jiang Mingyu quickly turned to Tu Tu Kesiluo, his face solemn: "Be prepared; once Zhang Jiani can no longer hold out, go rescue her immediately!"

Unexpectedly, just as his words fell, he saw Tu Tu Kesiluo smile leisurely: "Your Majesty, rest assured; when the time comes, I will intervene myself."

Jiang Jiang Mingyu was horrified. Could it be that Pang Pang Wenguang's strike was not unblockable? In this situation, what did Tu Tu Kesiluo's calm and unhurried smile represent? Or did this life-and-death duel hide some unknown strategy?

Just as Jiang Jiang Mingyu was puzzled beyond solution, the killing-intent-radiating Pang Pang Wenguang had already arrived before Zhang Zhang Jiani. He raised his long blade high, about to deliver this fatal strike, when suddenly, Zhang Zhang Jiani's lips were seen to sweep across a cold sneer!

A flash passed before Jiang Jiang Mingyu's eyes; he seemed to smell that the course of this slaughter would not be as tragic...

Pang Pang Wenguang's long blade chopped down swiftly, its edge menacingly close. This strike was extremely fast; it looked as if it was about to land on Zhang Zhang Jiani's shoulder.

At this critical moment, Zhang Zhang Jiani's feet were seen to sink slightly, her waist twisting gently, elastically dodging this fatal strike.

From her pale face and slightly rapid breathing, it could be seen that this dodge had consumed a great deal of her energy.

But Jiang Jiang Mingyu looked closely and found her stance steady, much more fluid than before.

At this time, Pang Pang Wenguang launched another sweeping, all-out strike; Zhang Zhang Jiani waved her long sleeve, using a grappling technique to deflect the heavy strike with incredible speed. Her move was exquisite, flowing like clouds and water, showing none of the previous fluster.

Pang Pang Wenguang was shocked and lost his color; he never expected that Zhang Zhang Jiani, who had previously been unable to hold out, still possessed such profound internal energy!

At this moment, Jiang Jiang Mingyu suddenly remembered Tu Tu Kesiluo's calm smile just now—there was indeed a foreshadowing!

Zhang Zhang Jiani had not used her full strength! She had deliberately shown weakness from the start to lure Pang Pang Wenguang into lowering his guard!

At this very moment, the true outcome of victory and defeat began to take shape. Pang Pang Wenguang's face changed again and again; his moves became even more fierce, but Zhang Zhang Jiani had already gained the upper hand, effortlessly neutralizing all his attacks.

Finally, after a magnificent sword flourish, Zhang Zhang Jiani lightly pointed her sword at Pang Pang Wenguang's throat!

Only the light "clang" sound was heard; Zhang Zhang Jiani flicked her wrist lightly, and the long sword turned. On Pang Pang Wenguang's originally ferocious face, the expressions of shock and disbelief remained; his head flew high into the air with a jet of blood, rolling into the dust.

The garrison on the city wall and the deputy commander Yu Feng both stood with mouths wide open in horror, their eyes staring in disbelief.

How could that woman, who had been suppressed so tightly just now, in an instant and without any warning, achieve an overwhelming victory? This sudden turn from defense to offense, this betrayal, was truly catching everyone off guard.

Zhang Zhang Jiani was seen standing upright in place, her long sword splattered with blood pointing diagonally toward the sky; cold light reflected on her expressionless face. Her deep eyes were full of indifference; she said softly, "To fight my husband, you are not even qualified."

That cold and cruel tone made everyone on the city wall shudder; no one dared to look into the eyes of this enchanting female demon swordswoman again.

At the same time, Li Goudan and Fang Hang, who had been prepared, raised their double blades, shouted "Kill!" loudly, and led the 150,000-strong army surging out like a tide first, instantly surrounding the remaining 10,000 of Pang Pang Wenguang's troops.

Jiang Jiang Mingyu held his long sword, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, and said heavily, "Pang Pang Wenguang has committed evil and forced you to join the army! Today, our great army surrounds the city; Pang Pang Wenguang is dead. Those who surrender will be spared death!"

The soldiers under Pang Pang Wenguang's command looked at each other, exchanging glances; they all saw despair in each other's eyes—without Pang Pang Wenguang in command, no matter how fiercely they resisted, they had only one path: death. These warriors finally laid down their weapons, and all slowly raised their hands to surrender.

Jiang Jiang Mingyu nodded in satisfaction, his expression slightly clearing: "Very good! Tu Tu Kesiluo, keep these people under watch first; we will discuss their disposal after the city falls."

Then he looked up toward the city wall, pointed his sword at the deputy commander Yu Feng, and shouted sternly, "Now, do you still want to fight a life-and-death battle with my entire army!"

Before his words had even faded, only the sound of Li Goudan and Fang Hang giving the order was heard; tens of thousands of archers immediately raised their bows and nocked their arrows, the cold, gleaming arrowheads pointing directly at the few trembling garrison soldiers on the city wall...
