Chapter 2497: Chapter 2498: The Rule Dagger
"Lord Yuehua, I know you belong to someone, but I feel there is nothing stopping me from replacing the person in your heart!"
These words were extremely improper, at least not something a maid should say.
Therefore, Lord Yuehua frowned slightly and impatiently raised his eyes to look at the maid.
"I say..."
He had only uttered two words before he froze in place, with a look of infatuation in his eyes.
Meanwhile, the maid gently swept the hair from her ear and breathed gently as she said, "Lord Yuehua, do you think I’m beautiful?"
"Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! Jing’er, you are the most beautiful in my heart!" Lord Yuehua murmured softly.
The maid covered her mouth and giggled.
"Since I am so beautiful, what do you plan to do?"
The infatuation on Lord Yuehua’s face became even more intense, "I... I don’t know! As long as you are willing to stay with me and never leave, I am willing to do whatever you ask!"
Xue An, who was outside the window, couldn’t help but frown upon hearing this.
Why does Lord Yuehua suddenly seem like a lustful ghost, completely opposite to his previous demeanor?
On top of that, he found the maid increasingly strange.
Meanwhile, the maid’s eyes sparkled with charm as she said, "Oh? You are willing to do anything I ask?"
"Yes, yes!" Lord Yuehua nodded emphatically.
"Good, then go die!"
With this light shout, the maid’s hand hidden beneath the tray suddenly shot out, holding a dark dagger aimed straight at Lord Yuehua.
Lord Yuehua sat there entranced, seemingly unaware of anything.
A sinister smile appeared on the maid’s face, as if she was already imagining the scene of Lord Yuehua’s blood spewing in the next second.
But at that moment, her dagger passed through Lord Yuehua’s body effortlessly.
The maid paused, then a gentle sigh echoed from beside her.
"How hard you try to set up this elaborate assassination!"
With those words, Lord Yuehua, who had been sitting calmly before the desk, dissipated into the wind.
The maid snorted coldly without a moment of hesitation, swinging the dagger in a circle towards the source of the voice behind her.
This strike was direct and fierce, yet it still missed.
Lord Yuehua then appeared beside the maid and said lightly, "Tell me who you are and who sent you to kill me, and I can give you a swift end!"
The maid laughed sinisterly, "Do you really think you have control over everything now?"
"What else?"
"Hehe, you certainly have some skills, identifying my hypnotic incense, but you’re still destined to die!"
As she spoke, the maid extended her other hand and suddenly clenched the dark dagger tightly.
Her palm was cut by the extremely sharp blade, blood gushed out, yet none fell to the ground.
All the blood was absorbed by the dagger.
Instantly, the dagger began to glow brightly, releasing an unsettling aura.
Lord Yuehua’s expression changed, he gently pointed a finger, sending a beam of moonlight shooting towards the maid’s brow.
But by then, it was already too late.
The maid suddenly yanked the dagger, accompanied by a sound of bone grinding that made one’s teeth ache, she forcibly pulled it out and aimed it again at Lord Yuehua.
This time, the dagger stirred a storm wherever it went.
The beam of moonlight was instantly blown away.
The dagger rushed towards Lord Yuehua with unparalleled might.
Lord Yuehua’s expression grew solemn.
With his skills, he detected that the dagger contained an aura that even made him uneasy.
Thus, he acted decisively, deciding not to meet it head-on but to flash aside to evade this strike.
Yet he miscalculated.
Because as he moved sideways, the dagger pierced through space, landing right in front of Lord Yuehua’s face.
This time, Lord Yuehua was truly shocked.
What is this?
How is this dagger sticking to him like a bone to flesh?
Though shocked, his figure flickered repeatedly, shifting to seven or eight different positions in an instant.
His speed was so fast it was overwhelming.
No matter how he dodged, the dagger stayed suspended like a Damocles sword before him, refusing to waver.
Even advancing forward, it was about to touch the skin between his brows.
This time, Lord Yuehua finally lost his composure.
"What is this madness?"
The maid giggled, "Lord Yuehua, this dagger must see blood before it rests, so just accept your fate."
Lord Yuehua’s expression flickered, and his endlessly dodging figure abruptly halted, as though he had decided to stop resisting.
The next second, the dagger pierced straight through the center of his brow, leaving a trail of blood.
Only after completing this strike did the dagger pause in midair.
But before the maid’s face could show a victorious smile.
In the corner of the room, Lord Yuehua’s figure reappeared, though now his complexion was slightly pale, yet his eyes were filled with chilling murderous intent.
"Rule Power, who exactly are you?"
At this moment, Lord Yuehua’s heart was a mix of shock and anger.
Because he finally realized the origin of this dagger.
The aura within it that made him uneasy was unmistakably Rule Power.
This Rule Power was quite peculiar.
Once integrated into a weapon, it endowed the weapon with certain traits.
For instance, the dagger’s ability to disregard all barriers and follow him like a shadow came from Rule Power.
This power was wicked and strong, possessing immunity to all distractions.
Once contaminated, no matter how mighty you were, it would give you headaches.
So Lord Yuehua had to sacrifice one of his avatars just now to interrupt the dagger’s attack; otherwise, it would continue following him relentlessly, even to the ends of the earth.
The maid sneered, "As expected from the Great Lord of Yin and Yang Clan, indeed, this is Rule Power. Moreover, it was set during forging; once unleashed, it will drink the blood from your body until it stops!"
"So, accept your death now!"
With the maid’s cold laughter, the dagger, once again, started, aiming at Lord Yuehua.
Lord Yuehua was startled.
Just now, he escaped a strike by losing an avatar; does he have to do that again now?
Even if he had many avatars, he couldn’t keep wasting them like this!
Yet if he doesn’t want to lose another avatar, how could he rid himself of this troublesome dagger?
Just as Lord Yuehua contemplated the quandary, a flash of sword light zipped through the air at lightning speed, piercing the maid’s brow.
Thud!
The speed was so fast that the blood from the back of the maid’s head burst out long after the sword light had pierced through the room’s wall and vanished.
And from the front, the hole in the maid’s brow was so smooth, one could faintly see the light from the opposite side.
