The Empress' Livestream Chapter 679

Xie Qian!

Hadn't that idiot died?

The woman was so frightened that her face lost all its color. She didn't have the extra energy to think and could only frantically shout for the “system” in her mind.

In no time, the killing moment approached.

However, even though the woman in the imperial dress was obviously weak, she cleverly avoided Xie Qian's spear.

She cut a sorry figure as she evaded the danger, the pearl and jade hair ornament on her head falling to the ground with a clatter. Her magnificence remained undamaged. Somehow, it added a sense of pitiful weakness. She shouted in horror as she dodged, trying to intimidate Xie Qian with her identity.

“Xie Qian? Who is that? I don't know… What a brazen rabble-rouser, how dare you infiltrate the palace to assassinate the Empress. I'll execute all your relatives as punishment!”

Her words had just landed when the next blow approached again. It was not aimed at her heart this time, but her forehead.

The woman had no choice but to crush something into pieces as she just so happened to once again avoid the fatal blow.

Xie Qian frowned. He felt that that particular shot should have been able to pierce her, but before it came into contact with her body, the spearhead seemed to touch a layer of intangible matter and forcibly bounce off. He did not think about it too much because time was short. He would kill this evildoer first.

“System!” the woman shouted in a panic. “You have to come out!”

For her safety, she had prepared several cards in advance that could help her withstand deadly attacks.

But those cards were expensive and she led a relatively easy and comfortable life in the palace. At most, she was poisoned or set up by jealous concubines, seldom did she use this stuff. Therefore, she had not exchanged for much of it. She only had nine in her inventory and had already wasted two, leaving only seven.

If those seven life-saving cards were used up, she would be dead for sure.

According to the system, the life-saving cards were like “life substitution puppets,” a life in exchange for a life.

Xie Qian had executed two attacks and killed a “life substitution puppets” with each attack. He was so savage it was frightening.

She knew that Xie Qian was not to be trifled with, but she had never thought that after ten years, he would still be a man who was not to be trifled with.

“System! Come out, ah!”

The woman shouted madly in her mind. In an instant, she had used another five of the “life substitution puppet” cards. There were only two left now.

At this moment, the system finally reacted, albeit slowly.

“Six million popularity points to exchange for the card – 'To pretend as? The most supreme in martial arts circles'. The effects of the card will last for two hours. Host, do you want to exchange for it?”

“A to confirm, B to reconsider.”

It was life and death. The last “life substitution puppet” was dead. The beautiful lady in imperial dress chose to exchange without a thought.

“Consider what, motherf*cker!? Of course, I'll be exchanging for it at this time!”

While the six million popularity points made her heart ache, if she did not exchange them, her life would be finished.

Suddenly, her weak and fragile body was filled with a tough and overbearing strength. Not only did the fleeing woman stop dodging, she even rushed towards him.

Her moves were quick as lightning and her pale hands left after-images in the air that were even more dazzling than his silver spear. She used his strength against him and pushed away from the body of the spear.

Xie Qian's brows tightened as he became increasingly certain. The unfamiliar woman in front of him was the evil demoness he'd encountered many years ago.

This was also the case at that time. The “wife” who had never practiced martial arts suddenly ambushed him, immediately causing serious injuries to Xie Qian, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood. Later, he'd encountered the bandits specially arranged by his “wife.” He'd been forced to bring his only child with him and they “jumped off the cliff” to escape. Only then did they escape death.

On that day when he had risked jumping off a cliff, if not for a vine that had saved him and his child, how would he have had the chance to get revenge now?

He was very certain that the woman in front of him was not familiar with martial arts. Her body and bones were delicate. If Xie Qian had not coincidentally gotten an item and been able to get a lock on this monster, he would have suspected that perhaps he had gotten the wrong person… Now, the past was repeating itself. Someone who knew nothing about martial arts was displaying the combat power of a top martial artist. She was able to force Xie Qian to retreat again and again with her bare hands.

If Xie Qian could see the supernatural stuff, he would probably have discovered a strange “wall” floating in a void near the woman.

Countless unsatisfactory and deplorable words drifted across this wall.

“666, don't you all think that with her snow-white imperial attire, the host resembles Xiaolongu when she fights?

“Previously, didn't the host give us a performance of her sleeping on a rope? She's totally the real-life version of Xiaolongnu.”

“Cheering for you, host. If you win today, I will give you 999 luxury yachts!”

“This is a pity, that middle-aged handsome guy is so delicious. I really want to see the version where he 'wrestles' with the host, it'll certainly be very passionate.”

“Heh heh, this was really a late-night AV livestream, please don't insult Xiaolongnu by linking her with this kind of host who betrays her own body. Xiaolongnu is pure and chaste, but what kind of trash is the host? I have a 200G folder on my computer and they are all goddesses….. Heh heh.”

Every move of Xie Qian's spear was sharp and fierce, carrying deadly intent. But the beautiful woman's body seemed to have taken on all the flexibility and strength in this world. There was steel in her supple and flexible posture.

No matter how Xie Qian made his offense, the woman always managed to counter it with ease. The way she guarded herself was airtight. The two figures were engaged in close range combat in the spacious palace. After three hundred plus moves, Xie Qian started to reveal signs that his offensive was falling apart. However, the woman's face did not turn red nor did she run short of breath. They were evenly matched at the beginning, but she slowly gained the upper hand until she was closing in on him with every step. A sinister gleam shone in her eyes as her moves became more ruthless.

“You have indeed returned from the grave by borrowing a corpse… Where is Yun'er's body?”

Xie Qian was secretly looking for opportunities, hoping to find the woman's flaws and kill her directly.

The eyes of the beautiful woman in imperial dress glittered brightly as a faint pink light flashed across them. Her cherry-colored lips spat out vicious words. “When I occupied her body in those days, her soul was still there.” The beautiful woman in the imperial dress was all smiles. Her moves became more ferocious and treacherous. “In other words, whatever I did, she knew. Later, I grew bored and returned her body to her…”

Xie Qian's expression changed. He could not help it as his spear-wielding hand paused. The woman seized the gap he provided and pressed closer.

He responded quickly and pushed her back, the distance between the two growing again. But he felt a faint numbing ache in his arm.

The beautiful woman in imperial dress continued to smile widely, ignoring Xie Qian's expression which had become dark as soot. She continued to provoke him to anger.

“Xie Shaohe, Xie Shaohe, if you hadn't had the thought of killing me back then, perhaps I would have spared Wang Huiyun's life and returned her to you. But you were heartless first, so don't blame me for acting unjustly later. I returned Wang Huiyun's body to her and threw her directly into the palace's pleasure house. She became a song and dance courtesan for the government officials to be disrespected by anyone. But she was rather spirited and killed herself so she could remain pure for you. As her husband, don't you find it moving?”

With those words, how could Xie Qian endure it? His offensives, which had become weak, grew forceful once again, imbued with an indomitable intent to kill.

“Demoness!”

The beautiful woman countered easily. Not only did she not get angry, she even cast a coquettish glance at him. She took the opportunity during their fight to throw herself into his arms before quickly flying away. Xie Qian was so angry that he couldn't maintain his rationality. At this time, the sound of disorderly footsteps could be heard coming from outside the palace, accompanied by the sound of armor scraping and colliding.

Xie Qian glared at the beautiful woman with murderous eyes. With a belly full of loathing, he drove her back by brandishing his spear, then turned around, jumped out of the window, and fled.

The beautiful lady did not give chase. Her time limit was running out and she did not have enough left to kill Xie Qian.

Glancing at her clothes, she took out a dagger from a void in the air and viciously slashed herself a few times. Then she closed her eyes and fell into a pool of blood. At that moment, the palace doors smashed open and the frightened voices of the palace handmaidens and eunuchs floated into her ears.

When the beautiful woman pretending to have fainted heard the noise, it evoked a mocking smile from her thin lips.
