Turning around, he saw the figure of the youth from the forest. The man immediately thought of something and his expression changed. He opened his mouth and was about to shout.

"You're courting death."

Lin Qing gave a cold "hmph" and took a step forward. His body was like a phantom as the sharp sword in his hand struck down with a thunderclap, moving like thunder and moving like the wind …

Seeing the sword coming at him, the man's heart also shook. He wanted to open his mouth, but had no choice but to swallow it. He drew his waist and a cold light flashed. A blade light shot out.

With a "dang" sound, the two swords collided, and sparks burst out.

The man could not help but let out a muffled "hmph". His entire body could not help but stagger back a few steps. Before he could even stabilize his body, he was forced back a few steps.

An afterimage flashed by. He could only feel the sword light in front of him brighten up as a grand sword qi approached him once again.

Life is like waiting, memory is like scheming.

The man's heart skipped a beat. He could only bite the bullet and put the blade in his hand in front of him.

Perhaps it was due to the instinct of life, or perhaps it was due to luck, but this man's blade just happened to block Lin Qing's sword light.

'Chi! 'a deafening sound was heard.

The man felt his palm tremble as an aching pain gushed out. He could not help but feel something sweet in his throat before spitting out a stream of blood.

Blood spilled everywhere, and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

At this moment, this man clearly felt the difference in strength between him and Lin Qing. Fear filled his heart, and he started to flee for his life.

Seeing Lin Qing approaching with a sword in her hand, the man's heart trembled. He didn't dare to be negligent and threw the sword in his hand. The blade in his hand whistled towards Lin Qing like an arrow released from a bow.

The man then took a step forward and dashed behind him. He thought that if he was given a moment, he could run to a nearby patrol guard and escape with his life. He might be able to deal with the man.

If he had stayed behind to defend, perhaps he might have been able to hold on for a little longer. However, he actually ran away. Giving his back to an enemy like this, it was practically the same as committing suicide.

Lin Qing coldly snorted as the sword in her hand slashed out, slashing through the large saber that was flying towards her.

Afterwards, Lin Qing's body was like a phantom. In an extremely short amount of time, she had already caught up to the fleeing man. The sharp sword in her hand flashed with a cold light and she chopped down.

The man who was running away could not help but turn his head back as he felt the light before his eyes brighten. His entire body froze.

His running motion came to an abrupt stop. The unstoppable momentum crashed into the ground, producing a "bang" sound.

After he landed on the ground, the man no longer moved. He just laid there quietly. The dim light in his eyes seemed to indicate the end of this person.

When he saw this person again, he saw a thin cut on his forehead. It seemed as if it didn't exist, but it was still a eye-catching existence.

He was just about to adjust his breathing, but as if he had sensed something, he leaped up, picked up the corpse of the dead man, and rushed to the side. On the way, he didn't forget to turn around and wave his sleeve, causing a gale to blow out, almost dispersing all traces of the battle.

Not long after Lin Qing dodged to the side, the sounds of footsteps could be heard. "Tap, tap, tap." It was the sound of five warriors patrolling the area.

The leader of the group had a dashing expression on his face. He carefully observed the surroundings and couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression.

"I heard some movement earlier, but why is there no movement now?" Although he was mumbling in his heart, his words were clearly heard by the surrounding people.

Lin Qing, who was hiding in the dark, felt her heart tighten as she heard this. The sharp sword in her hand tightened. If she really was discovered, then she could only continue to kill.

After all, he wasn't one of Chen He's subordinates, but one of Chen Ming's subordinates. Not everyone listened to this Chen He, and it was obvious that the leader of the group, the man, had complaints.

The leader of the group looked around to make sure he hadn't discovered anything before waving his hand and patrolling in another direction.

Upon seeing this, Lin Qing's heart relaxed. The grip on her sword loosened as well.

Not long after he left, one of the five scouts said with a puzzled expression, "Captain, there are traces of a battle there. Captain …"

Hearing this person speak, the person with the fiercest expression turned around and glanced at him. He coldly said, "Don't say what you shouldn't have said. Don't look at what you shouldn't have seen."

His heart trembled and he immediately didn't dare to speak.

"For us insignificant characters, if we can avoid getting involved in matters between great characters, we will not get involved. We will only work for the Chen Residence, why should we risk our lives? It's not worth it." The sharp-faced man unintentionally added.

"Understood, understood." The few of them hurriedly nodded their heads, and then quickly left with the fierce-looking man.

Of course, Lin Qing did not know about this incident. If Lin Qing knew about this, then even her heart would not be at ease.

As she watched the five members of the patrol team leave, Lin Qing looked around her surroundings before turning her gaze towards the man whom she had killed.

Although the man had lost his breath, the iron aura around him couldn't be concealed.

Without thinking too much, Lin Qing immediately took off this person's clothes and changed them. After changing, she discovered that his clothes were somewhat loose, which didn't seem to fit her body well.

Even so, at this point in time, there was no time to make any more preparations for Lin Qing.

After dressing up, Lin Qing looked in Chen He's direction and involuntarily let out a cold "hmph". She coldly muttered to herself, "Today, let's see what else you have to do to escape this calamity."

After she finished speaking, Lin Qing's silhouette disappeared from where she stood.

The area where Chen He was was was completely silent. The surrounding guards and patrols were extremely tight.

A man wearing slightly loose clothes quickly rushed over.

Occasionally, he would see patrolling sentries, and occasionally, his figure would flash as well, and he would dodge.

Thus, after a short period of time, this person appeared once again on the beam of Chen He's room. Needless to say, this person was none other than Lin Qing.

Seeing Chen He quietly meditating, just like before, Lin Qing smiled, bringing along a cold chill.

After feeling that everything was alright, Lin Qing took a deep breath and opened the door. She lowered her head and walked in, as usual, her footsteps light and light as she entered her room.
