Chapter 1362: Chapter 1357: Lin Sisi Dies in Battle

“What are you looking at? Chen Ruobai, if you have the guts, come duel me one-on-one! Do you think your female general is fit to yell in front of me?!” Lin Sisi’s hand gripped her long saber, a lock of hair beside her temple fluttering in the wind, while amidst the gunpowder smoke, she stood valiant and vigorous, more courageous than any man, earning nothing but admiration.

Behind her, not a single soldier lacked respect or failed to follow her orders!

Lin Sisi was their role model, their faith!

“General is mighty! General is mighty!”

Lin Ergou and a crowd of the Lin family’s army shouted loudly, their spirits outshining Chen Ruobai’s side, despite being just over a hundred strong.

Chen Ruobai’s eyes narrowed at her, “Lin Sisi, what are you so proud of as a person facing death? My great army and Gu corpses can snuff out your life in an instant.”

“Then come and take it! Why waste words!” Lin Sisi laughed heartily.

“I’ll say it once more, if you are willing to serve me, I can offer you much more!” In the end, Chen Ruobai couldn’t bear to kill Lin Sisi.

The more ferocious and brave Lin Sisi was, the more she felt that such a person should serve her.

Especially a rare woman like her!

If she served her, how formidable would her army be in the future?

“I’ll also say it once more, you are not worthy!”

Lin Sisi pointed her long saber at her, “In this life, I am loyal to Chu Yihan alone!”

Did Chen Ruobai think she would bow down and submit, serving her?

Impossible!

Anger brewed in Chen Ruobai’s eyes, “Lin Sisi, you don’t know how to appreciate kindness.”

Then don’t blame me for not sparing you because you’re a woman!

Chen Ruobai ordered the Gu corpses to attack Lin Sisi, and very soon, the hundred-plus soldiers behind Lin Sisi were slaughtered, their corpses torn and mangled.

Because they were living people turned into Gu corpses, they still possessed their own consciousness. When killing, they were even more cruel and terrifying than mindless Gu corpses, with an insatiable lust for blood and carnage.

In the end, only Lin Sisi and Lin Ergou with four others remained.

Chen Ruobai received a message from Zhuo Qing amidst the struggle and almost immediately retreated. Leaving the Gu corpses to entangle Lin Sisi, she immediately returned to the city with Xin Yi.

Xin Yi, perched on a horse, secretly fumed, “Damn it! Chu Yihan is assaulting the city, Qiongzhou City is in danger…”

It won’t hold!

“If Qiongzhou cannot be saved, we’ll retreat to Ji Yun Country. As long as I live, I will surely defeat these foul men!”

Chen Ruobai’s gaze was ice-cold.

She had survived death many times before and would not collapse from a single defeat.

Even if Qiongzhou City was lost this time, once she returned to Ji Yun Country, there would be a chance for a comeback.

However, she had to return to Qiongzhou Prefecture now.

Qiongzhou City could be abandoned, but Mu Rongche, she had to keep with her. This man couldn’t die, nor could he be easily snatched by others.

“Bang—”

A thunderous explosion occurred as Lin Sisi charged through the Gu corpses’ line on horseback, halting in front of them.

Without waiting for Chen Ruobai to speak, Lin Sisi, wounded all over, brandished her saber and declared, “Chen Ruobai, you think you can leave? I haven’t agreed to that!”

“Lin Sisi, you’re courting death!” Chen Ruobai clenched her teeth.

She had never been challenged by a woman like Lin Sisi!

All men who had challenged her in this way were dead!

“Do I look like I’m afraid to die? But as long as I’m not dead, I will absolutely not let you leave.” Lin Sisi pointed her long saber toward Chen Ruobai.

Chen Ruobai saw her saber, its blade already pitted and jagged from use.

It seemed the power of the Gu corpses had given her a tough time!

It must have been hard for her to still charge towards her.

“Lin Sisi, your blade is already notched, and you still dare to battle the princess?” Chen Ruobai waved her hand, and a horde of soldiers rushed towards Lin Sisi.

Lin Sisi’s knife was no longer swift, yet she used all her strength to unseat several men from their horses, severing their necks and slaughtering them beneath the hooves.

“My general’s blade will never break!” Lin Sisi’s lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile, showing not a hint of the frailty of a sheltered maid. The battle excited her and filled her with pride.

Behind her howled the cold wind and flew the dust. Though she was bathed in blood and suffered grievous wounds, she still held a bold and chilling presence that made others want to submit.

Chen Ruobai had murder in her heart, “Take her head, and there will be a great reward!”

With her command, the soldiers surged towards Lin Sisi in unison.

Her long sword was chopped apart, so she drew the Youming Knife from her waist, and continued to fiercely resist until the intensity of her wounds sapped her strength, and she tumbled from her horse, rolling in the blood-soaked earth.

But she always blocked Chen Ruobai’s path, refusing to let her return to the city.

She aimed to buy more time for Chu Yihan, her emperor, her master.

Chen Ruobai had wanted to give Lin Sisi a dignified death, but she had become too detestable. Blowing her whistle, the undead swarmed towards Lin Sisi.

When the undead approached, Chen Ruobai’s soldiers scattered, clearing a path in fear.

But Lin Sisi, gripping her blade, stood alone against the undead, fearless. The smile on her lips grew thicker, “Chen Ruobai, you cannot win.”

Chen Ruobai blew her whistle even more fervently as she watched the undead engulf Lin Sisi. They bit into Lin Sisi’s neck, tore at her flesh, seized her Youming Knife, and toppled her to the ground.

The scene was gruesome.

And Lin Sisi’s fall was tragic.

Before Lin Sisi’s death, Chen Ruobai asked her why she wouldn’t pledge loyalty to her.

Lin Sisi laughed heartily facing the sky, “Lin Sisi is loyal only to a wise sovereign, and in this world, no one but Chu Yihan is worthy of that title!”

Chen Ruobai sneered with a curled lip, “I will definitely be better than him!”

Lin Sisi remained loyal to the very end, becoming nothing more than a lifeless corpse!

Chen Ruobai rode her horse over Lin Sisi’s body, crushing her spine and coating her with blood and dust.

She left Lin Sisi with none of the dignity befitting a young lady’s final moments.

She had intended to let the undead devour Lin Sisi, to toss her severed head before Chu Yihan.

However, Xin Yi appealed, “Princess, spare her, she… was a female general.”

Despite being enemies, Xin Yi respected Lin Sisi’s integrity.

“Forget it, let’s move on!”

At Xin Yi’s plea, Chen Ruobai ceased her attention to Lin Sisi, who was already dead.

Lin Ergou, with his last breath, dragged his half-mangled body torn by the undead towards Lin Sisi, his mouth bloody and muttering, “General… General.”

Their general had fought to the very end…

Lin Sisi was gravely injured and exhausted with no strength left to open her eyes—perhaps her eyelids were glued shut with blood and dirt.

She was in agony, feeling her spine shattered like broken chaff, the torture before death was almost too much to bear without crying.

But thankfully, she didn’t disgrace her master.

She hadn’t surrendered to the enemy, nor let them take advantage.

Master, Sisi lived up to you.

But you didn’t grant me the amulet, didn’t drink the cup of tea from your disciple, didn’t let me touch the Qingfeng Sword.

There wasn’t even… a wedding ceremony with Jinling.

The imperial edict that you promised to bestow upon our marriage, you never had the chance to issue.
