"Such deep master-and-disciple affection." Hei Jiao's icy gaze carried a touch of frivolity, her cold voice laced with mockery.
Even as she spoke, Hei Jiao did not idle, sending two more flying daggers hurtling toward Mu Tang. Leaping into the air, Mu Tang dodged the Poison-tipped Flying Dagger, then immediately thrust her treasured sword straight at Hei Jiao. Moving with blinding speed, Mu Tang was upon her in a flash. Hei Jiao raised her arm, her fingers still gripping the next daggers she intended to unleash, but Mu Tang's sword was already at her chest.
The tip of Mu Tang's sword pierced through Hei Jiao's black gauze dress and straight into her body. In the blink of an eye, more than an inch of the blade protruded from Hei Jiao's back. The sky was growing light, and a crimson gleam flashed on the tip of the sword behind her. A moment later, Mu Tang withdrew her sword from Hei Jiao's body. Hei Jiao's limbs went limp as she collapsed to the ground, a surge of fresh blood spilling forth.
