27: Those who slander you know best how wronged you are.

"Sword Devil, as expected of Sword Devil, how could he guess so much? Why don't you guess again..." Jin Jiuling said:

"Shangguan Xueer was coaxed in by you? To connect Red Shoes with me, you really put in a lot of effort."

"It's just that I don't quite understand. Gongsun Da Niang has already been killed by me. Red Shoes should also be controlled by you, this Erniang.

Such a good organization, why destroy it?

If you simply say it's to avenge Gongsun Da Niang, I don't believe it."

"You really know enough." Gongsun Erniang's Face darkened:

"Indeed, the organization is full of traitors. What's the point of keeping an organization with holes everywhere? It might as well be put to good use."

Jin Jiuling waved his hand, stopping Gongsun Erniang from continuing: "Killing you is a must. Who told you to hinder the big shot's plans and cause a lot of trouble?"

"But there are ways to kill people. As the Chief Constable of Six Doors, I can't break the law while enforcing it.

From the day I became a constable, I've seen all sorts of cases. I just want to create a perfect, uninvestigable ironclad case."

"So, you became the Embroidered Bandit."

"Wrong, it wasn't me who became the Embroidered Bandit, but you who became the Embroidered Bandit.

It's just that I helped you do some things, that's all. No need to thank me!" Jin Jiuling said with a smile.

"To let you die in injustice, betrayed by your best friend, I believe that can also appease that big shot's anger."

Jin Jiuling patted Lu Jiuyuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "You are also a hero. I won't do anything to you. The evidence is conclusive, and you have no way to argue!

Whether you admit it or not, no confession is needed; you are the Embroidered Bandit."

"Big shot? It seems Huo Xiu's entire fortune has fallen into the hands of that so-called big shot." Lu Jiuyuan sighed:

"Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuixue, Hua Manlou, and I are all considered top experts in the Jianghu. Although Hua Manlou is a bit weaker, the Hua family is powerful and has many brothers.

If the four of us were to act openly, even your so-called big shot would have to pay a huge price. That's why you chose to have Lu Xiaofeng attack me.

To make us kill each other, to break us from within.

I suppose you've also arranged other methods to deal with Ximen Chuixue."

"Indeed! On the night of the full moon, at The Summit of the Forbidden City, a sword comes from the west, Celestial Flight. If he wants fame, give him fame. If he wants an opponent, give him an opponent.

Although Ximen Chuixue has made rapid progress these years, some busybodies call him Sword God, but he is definitely no match for the Lord of Baiyun City, the Sword Immortal." Jin Jiuling nodded:

"Let the Lord of Baiyun City deal with Ximen Chuixue, and let me, the Chief Constable of Six Doors, deal with you.

You'll die a worthy death."

"Jiang Chongwei, Hua Yifan, Jiang Mantian, are merely the prey you've chosen.

Shangguan Xueer, Jiang Qingxia, Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong Zhaixing are all pawns in your hands.

You want wealth, you want treasures, and you want the big shot's admiration! Don't you fear that wanting everything will lead to nothing?"

"But I've already won, haven't I?" Jin Jiuling asked with a smile.

"No!" Lu Xiaofeng's voice rang out from behind him.

Jin Jiuling abruptly turned around, only to see Lu Xiaofeng standing in the corner. He had no idea when the other person had arrived.

He stood behind Gongsun Erniang. Gongsun Erniang stood there motionless, clearly having had her acupoints sealed.

Every rustle within three to five zhang was within his perception; even the sound of breathing couldn't escape his ears.

Yet, when did Lu Xiaofeng arrive here? When did an extra person appear? He was completely unaware.

"I heard everything!"

Jin Jiuling's heart was filled with rage, yet he took a deep breath, a cold smile playing on his lips:

"What did you hear? Lu Xiaofeng, you dare to play me!

Too bad, this is the Six Doors headquarters. You personally sent Sword Devil here; there's no turning back once the arrow is shot.

Even if you know the truth, so what? Do you think the people outside will listen to you or to me?

Lu Xiaofeng, do you think I should ask you a question? 'Who in the court below is accusing this official?'"

"Jin Jiuling, I treated you as a friend, but you treated me like an animal to be tormented!" Lu Xiaofeng was furious.

"Friend?" Jin Jiuling sneered, all pretense gone from his eyes, leaving only naked calculation and disdain:

"Lu Xiaofeng, you are too naive! Since ancient times, scholars have used literature to disrupt the law, and heroes have used martial arts to defy prohibitions.

Jianghu people? They are just a bunch of ruffians! You are rats, and I am a cat.

How can we be compared? You are useful, so we are friends. Once you are used up, you are just a ruffian."

"To arrest me, you need evidence! This is Six Doors; everything relies on evidence. The two of you, one is a suspect, and the other is a suspect's friend. No one will listen to what you say."

"What if there are others? The ears of the blind are often more useful. Several blind people have been listening outside for a long time." Lu Xiaofeng said coldly:

"What I say doesn't count, but what the victim says does."

Jin Jiuling's body stiffened: "This is Six Doors, who let them in?"

"It's too simple!" Lu Jiuyuan said, and with a pull, all the ropes on his body snapped instantly. These ropes were specially made; they looked sturdy, but they weren't that strong.

"This is Six Doors, true, but there's only one Chief Constable, and more than one person wants to be Chief Constable.

Letting a few victims in doesn't take much effort; it's just a convenience.

Lu Xiaofeng speaking still carries some Face. You have no way out!"

As Lu Jiuyuan spoke, he extended his hand, and Lu Xiaofeng directly threw him the Guhong Sword.

Lu Jiuyuan held the sword and said: "Bring out your weapon; I'll send you on your way."

Jin Jiuling stepped back, stomped his foot on the floor, and two swords instantly sprung out from his sides:

"I've long heard that Sword Devil's left hand wields needles and his right hand wields a sword, unmatched in the world. Let me witness it now."

Before Jin Jiuling's words finished, both swords were already unsheathed!

The left-hand sword was short and narrow, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, its cold gleam chilling;

The right-hand sword was long and broad, carrying the dull sound of wind and thunder as it danced.

The twin swords, one Yin and one Yang, one cunning and one clumsy, instantly sealed all the space in front of Lu Jiuyuan!

"They all say Jin Jiuling has peerless talent, proficient in all eighteen weapons, using different weapons for different people. Now it seems, it's true!"

Lu Xiaofeng's pupils contracted slightly. Jin Jiuling's concealment was so deep that even he, his good friend, had never known his true hidden ultimate skill.

The power of this twin-sword fusion, combining both domineering and nimble qualities, could be considered top-tier in the current era!

He did not retreat; instead, he stepped forward, meeting the sharp edge of the twin swords!

This step, however, precisely landed in the almost imperceptible gap during the transition of the twin swords' Aura.

The Guhong Sword did not thrust directly, but rather flicked upwards like a spiritual snake, its four-edged blade tracing a peculiar arc,

carrying a tearing, sharp 'chi chi' sound, striking the spine of Jin Jiuling's left-hand short sword with extreme precision!

Clang!

A piercing clash of metal!

Jin Jiuling felt an extremely tricky, needle-like condensed force penetrate through the short sword's blade and fiercely drill into the Meridians of his arm!

The force was not fierce, but it carried a sinister and Weird penetrating everything.

"As expected of Sword Devil, not a single flaw, what a strange force!" Jin Jiuling's heart was greatly shaken. His right-hand broadsword, without hesitation, swept across his waist with the force of Mount Tai pressing down!

The Sword Qi whistled, stirring up the dust on the ground, intending to cut Lu Jiuyuan and the strange sword in his hand in half at the waist!

Lu Jiuyuan's waist twisted strangely, like a soft willow in the wind, narrowly sliding past the sweeping broadsword's edge.

The cold Sword Qi tore his clothes, but failed to harm his skin in the slightest.

Just in this flash of lightning and flint, this instant of bodies crossing!

A cold glint flashed and disappeared from Lu Jiuyuan's left hand.

Ding!

An extremely faint, yet unusually clear crisp sound!

A thin sword blocked in front of his eyes, just barely deflecting this embroidered needle.

In an instant, Jin Jiuling was drenched in cold sweat. He had gambled correctly! This guy was indeed going to use the same method to deal with me; he wanted to pierce my eyes.

Too fast, too dangerous. If he hadn't blocked preemptively while making his move, he would have already died.

Lu Xiaofeng was also watching and supporting from the side; there was no escape!

Without needles, only with a sword, I can kill him steadily within twenty moves. With a needle in his left hand and a sword in his right, he can kill me steadily within twenty moves. What to do? What to do?
