Chapter 801: Forced into a corner, putting on an act

Zhang Wuji was on high alert; he quickly scrambled off the bed and fixed his gaze outside the window.

The window was pushed open, and a figure in green robes drifted in. Zhang Wuji scrutinized the newcomer and, seeing she was masked, couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Miss, sneaking into an inn in the dead of night, are you not afraid of being misunderstood?"

She walked to the bedside and removed her mask. Zhang Wuji did not recognize this person and asked suspiciously, "I wonder what important business brings you here in the middle of the night? '053'"

She said, "My surname is Liu, given name Ying'er. To disturb Young Master Zhang's rest so presumptuously, I am truly forced by circumstances."

"So it is Miss Liu!" Zhang Wuji realized.

This woman was none other than a subordinate of the Vice Flag Master of the Azure Dragon Flag of the Mo Sect. The Azure Dragon Flag was one of the two strongest factions within the Mo Sect, and it possessed countless experts with superior Wu Gong, among whom there was no lack of top-tier masters.

"I wonder what advice Miss Liu has for me?"

"Young Master Zhang, our Young Master has ordered me to pass a message to you." Liu Ying'er took a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Zhang Wuji.

"A jade pendant?"

Zhang Wuji reached out to take the pendant, but his expression suddenly changed. He retreated rapidly, but a long saber thrust out from the void, forcing Zhang Wuji to back away, his movements half a beat too slow.

The long saber pierced through Zhang Wuji's right arm, and fresh blood flowed down his limb.

Zhang Wuji looked down at his injured arm, then looked up and said coldly, "You are a member of the Mo Sect."

Liu Ying'er withdrew her long saber and said indifferently, "Young Master Zhang is indeed clever; this saves me from wasting my breath."

Zhang Wuji snorted and channeled his light-body technique, preparing to flee.

Liu Ying'er flicked her wrist, and the long saber once again transformed into a streak of cold light, shooting toward Zhang Wuji.

Zhang Wuji stomped hard with his feet, his entire body launching into the air.

Zhang Wuji kicked off the eaves with force, his body using the rebound to fly toward the distance.

Liu Ying'er pursued closely; she seemed to have anticipated that Zhang Wuji would use his light-body technique, so she followed suit and leaped onto the roof beams.

"Let us find another place to fight."

After dropping this sentence to Liu Ying'er, Zhang Wuji jumped onto a nearby roof.

"Hehe..." Liu Ying'er followed, the corners of her mouth curling into an arc.

Soon, the two exchanged a few more moves, and Zhang Wuji gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Zhang Wuji cursed himself for being too careless... He had always assumed the Mo Sect's Wu Gong style was insidious and strange, yet this Liu Ying'er's style was grand, upright, domineering, and fierce.

"Young Master Zhang, your swordplay is not bad, but it is a pity you met me; your defeat is fated." Liu Ying'er smiled contemptuously and said, "Obediently surrender, otherwise, in a moment, it will not be up to you."

Zhang Wuji said coldly, "Even if I am defeated, I will absolutely not submit. As for Miss Liu, I wonder if you can bear the charge of betraying the Mo Sect."

A flash of anger crossed Liu Ying'er's eyes, and she shouted, "Since that is the case, I will kill you first!"

Before Liu Ying'er's voice had faded, the long saber in her hand transformed into a field of cold stars, heading straight for Zhang Wuji's chest. She was actually preparing to kill him in one strike, intending to take Zhang Wuji's life.

Zhang Wuji held the Heaven Reliant Sword horizontally to block.

The long saber struck the Heaven Reliant Sword, erupting with a loud noise. Zhang Wuji felt a sharp pain in the web of his thumb, and the Heaven Reliant Sword almost flew from his hand.

Liu Ying'er smiled coldly: "Zhang Wuji, it seems your skills have weakened quite a bit."

"Let us continue fighting." Zhang Wuji swung the long sword in his hand toward Liu Ying'er. ===== CHAPTER 803 =====
