Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 750 - 750 750 Bracing Myself for a One-On-One Fight

750: Chapter 750: Bracing Myself for a One-On-One Fight 750: Chapter 750: Bracing Myself for a One-On-One Fight After soaking in the spring of life for five consecutive days, Lin Xi felt energetic and believed that she could completely recover in a few more days.

Then, on the agreed day, when the space-time door opened, she could say goodbye to this place.

Now, Lin Xi was eager to leave.

The ancient era without the net was really boring, and she had a ton of documents to deal with every day.

She really wanted to leave as soon as possible.

While Lin Xi was soaking in a bath and fantasizing about feasting after returning, a maid rushed in nervously, “Your majesty, the Jian Shen has come again, and the guards can’t stop him.”

“What?

Jian Shen.” Lin Xi was surprised and her expression became a little complex.

She grimaced and said, “Go get my clothes and the sword.”

Hearing this, the maid didn’t hesitate, but she was surprised.

The empress seemed a bit unusual but she was still handling the situation normally.

If the empress took flight instead of fighting, it would indeed be strange.

Even if she chose to confront, not thinking of getting clothes and the sword immediately would be odd.

Lin Xi took a deep breath and put on a white dress that made her look like a warrior.

At that moment, Lin Xi thought she looked cool and was very pleased.

Then, Lin Xi saw the sword in the maid’s hand.

In her past life, Qian Ye had practiced a magic that could summon the martial soul of a swordmaster to fight alongside her, making Qian Ye a temporary swordmaster.

Lin Xi was worried, “My God, I have never practiced this magic spell; what should I do?”

With everyone watching, Lin Xi somehow had to make it work.

She had no option but to act, forming hand seals and incanting the mantra.

She made it look so perfect, no one could tell anything was amiss.

The maid watched intently, thinking Lin Xi was about to show off her skills, but Lin Xi was actually just putting on a brave face.

So she summoned the sword in the maid’s hand, hoping it would fly to her.

The sword leaped out of its scabbard, being drawn toward Lin Xi’s hand.

Lin Xi was ecstatic.

It was so simple, maybe she had been overthinking.

After all, she was a magic genius.

However, unexpected things happened.

The sword only flew halfway and dropped onto the floor, clanging as it announced its failure.

At this moment, Lin Xi, who was breaking into a cold sweat, didn’t dare to look at the eyes of the people around her, imagining their surprise and doubt about what was wrong with the empress.

“I can’t believe this is happening now,” Lin Xi had to pick up the sword, feeling her heart pounding faster.

But she still maintained her dignity, then said, “Let’s go and meet the Jian Shen.”

Though the imperial maids felt that there was something odd about the empress, they didn’t voice their thoughts and just followed her.

As they reached the entrance of the main hall, Lin Xi saw the guards were retreating step by step, seemingly scared to their wits, no one dared to step forward.

Lin Xi had to say, “Everyone, stand aside.”

Hearing this, the guards promptly stepped aside, allowing the empress and Jian Shen to meet face-to-face.

With just one glance, Lin Xi was stunned.

The handsome face, the upright figure standing there exuding an invincible aura, his sword shining with a chill-inducing light.

“Qian Ye, you finally came out to meet me.” The Jian Shen stared at the woman in front of him, his eyes filled with resentment and heartache.

Lin Xi was stunned for a while.

She didn’t expect to see Jian Shen again.

It was a regret from her past life, and now she had the chance to remedy it.

Her heart welled up with an uncontrollable surge of emotion, and in that moment, scenes from the past came rushing back.

Even though she had a thousand words in her heart, Lin Xi did not know where to start.

She was so flustered that she even started to breathe irregularly, finally saying softly, “You…”

The people around them found it strange.

In the past, whenever Jian Shen caused a disturbance, the empress would confront him with strong words.

There was never any courtesy shown to Jian Shen, so why had she become so tender today?

Moreover, the way she looked at Jian Shen seemed wrong; there wasn’t even a hint of hostility.

“Qian Ye, come with me.

I know being the empress is not what you truly want.” Jian Shen walked towards Lin Xi, approaching step by step.

At this point, Lin Xi snapped out of her daze and quickly retreated.

Her sword was still pointed at Jian Shen, “Don’t come any closer, or I won’t show you any mercy.”

The surrounding people felt that this was how the empress should act.

Jian Shen stopped, then gave a self-depreciating laugh, “Am I not stupid?

The great Jian Shen is actually bound by love, rejected by you over and over again and yet I can’t let go.

The great Jian Shen has indeed fallen.”

Hearing this, Lin Xi’s heart ached a little.

She said, “Please, will you leave?

I do not want to be your enemy.”

The surrounding people all looked at each other in confusion.

The empress’ tone seemed to have softened considerably, almost as if she were begging him.

Was this really their empress?

“If you don’t leave, neither will I.” As he spoke, Jian Shen lifted his sword, pointing it at Lin Xi.

“I don’t care about your reasons, I will defeat you, and then I will take you away.”

“Idiot, you really are an idiot.” Lin Xi knew this was because of what Qian Ye owed Jian Shen in her past life, but why should Lin Xi be the one to repay it?

What’s going on?

Yes, Qian Ye had had to leave Jian Shen due to circumstances beyond her control, which had left her with regret.

Qian Ye had also thought of making up for it, but now with Lin Xi involved, things were messy.

“Could it be that I was given the chance to make up for the regrets of my past life in this one?” Lin Xi sighed heavily, thinking this must be fate.

Well, what will be, will be.

Jian Shen attacked, and Lin Xi bravely met him in combat.

The two people swapped positions, their swords clashing against each other, releasing a tremendous Jian Qi, forcing the people around them to keep their distance.

At first, the two of them attacked and defended, their sword moves were swift and powerful.

The sound and sparks produced when their swords clashed made the spectators nervous.

Normally, Qian Ye and Jian Shen could fight three hundred rounds without determining a winner, but this time it was Lin Xi.

She was caught off guard and could only last for thirty rounds before being overpowered by Jian Shen’s moves, retreating round by round.

Jian Shen saw through Lin Xi’s weak spot and launched a full attack.

His sword split the sword in Lin Xi’s hand into pieces, deciding the outcome of the match.

“Are you serious?” The people around them were dumbfounded.

They had not expected that the empress could be defeated, and rushed to her aid, but it was too late.

Jian Shen acted quickly, sealing several of Lin Xi’s acupuncture points so she couldn’t move, and then swept her into his arms and flew away using Qinggong.

The guards tried to pursue them, but they couldn’t catch up.

“Good Lord, things are really messed up.

This is all messed up.” Lin Xi didn’t remember that she had been kidnapped by Jian Shen in her past life.

Will this have an impact on history?
