Rest in peace!

This sentence was spoken calmly by Turing Duo, yet the calmer a person like her spoke, the more terrifying it became.

At least at the moment when she was set to kill Suo Lun, even the hatred in her heart had nearly dissipated.

"Are you killing me for yourself, or for Zhi Li?" Suo Lun asked.

Turing Duo replied, "Why must we differentiate so clearly?"

Suo Lun said, "Actually, I was originally planning to come to the Hundred Thousand Mountains myself, to search for a Dragon Mark Stele, or more accurately, Dragon Mark relics. Perhaps obtaining it could save Yan Yan."

Turing Duo replied, "You probably also want to say that if I obtained the Dragon Mark relics, I could directly break through as a Samurai, and I am only twenty-one this year. I could likely become the youngest Samurai in the Rage Wave Kingdom, right?"

"Yes," Suo Lun said. "Once Yan Nai’er obtained the Dragon Mark relics, her martial power soared, and she directly broke through as a Samurai."

Turing Duo said, "But the secret of the Dragon Mark relics is in your heart, and you’ll never reveal it, no matter how much I torture you. To obtain the Dragon Mark relics, I can’t kill you. Then, you would lead me to it, right?"

"Yes," Suo Lun said.

Turing Duo asked, "Suo Lun, what do you think is the biggest difference between you and Suo Hanyi?"

Suo Lun replied, "His martial skills are high; mine are low."

Turing Duo said, "Because he has nothing, he must make his way in the world with martial skills. But you were born as a prince’s heir, so you indulge in luxury and women all day long and don’t bother to practice martial arts. Because you know very well that for you, martial arts are merely an ornament."

A bitter smile appeared on Suo Lun’s face as he said, "It’s no longer just an ornament. If my martial skills were higher, I wouldn’t be at your mercy, unable to live or die."

Turing Duo said, "This is just an accident. If Prince Zili didn’t need your Tianshui City, if your father hadn’t passed away suddenly, as a noble like you, you wouldn’t need martial skills for your entire life. Do you know why I’ve been practicing martial arts since I was young?"

Suo Lun replied, "To prove you’re stronger than men."

"Right, for me, sufficient martial skill is enough," Turing Duo said. "Just like how Gui Qinshao has been diligently practicing swordsmanship, it’s more to maintain a devilish figure, as well as to have something more to show off to others. Hence, for people like us, martial skills truly are just ornaments—good enough is good enough."

Suo Lun’s face turned bitter once again.

Turing Duo said, "I am indeed very tempted by the Dragon Mark relics. But I know all too well that greed blinds wisdom. So for me now, killing you is a bit more important."

Suo Lun said, "You truly are the most outstanding woman I’ve ever met, and once you remove this obsession of yours, you’ll be even stronger. You can take up your father’s mantle."

"It’s not that easy. After all, I am a woman, and this world is always full of prejudice against women. Even Yan Nai’er’s mercenary group is the same, let alone the Rage Wave Kingdom. It’s all because of my useless brother." Turing Duo sighed, "Suo Lun, you are really excellent, with top-notch wisdom, disposition, and willpower. It’s a pity you’re in everyone’s way, so you must die."

Suo Lun laughed and said, "Is it too late to surrender now? What if I switch sides now, swear allegiance to Prince Zili, since Gui Qinshao doesn’t want me, I could propose to your father to marry you, and then work at the Commander-in-chief’s Office."

Suo Lun said this with a very teasing tone.

"You wouldn’t," Turing Duo said. "I’ve never seen anyone more stubborn than you. It’s exactly because of this that your death is certain. Well, no more useless talk, off you go."

Suo Lun asked, "Then before I die, may I make a request?"

Turing Duo replied, "Let’s hear it."

"Leave me a whole corpse, and preferably without too much bloodshed," Suo Lun said.

"Fine," Turing Duo said.

Then, she tightened her whip around Suo Lun’s neck with a fierce pull.

She intended to strangle Suo Lun to death.

Just like that, she stood behind Suo Lun and tightened the whip around his neck, staring into his eyes.

It only takes a few minutes of suffocation for a human being to be brain dead.

Suo Lun could last a bit longer; he could manage his brain’s oxygen consumption to the minimum due to his Yao Xing capabilities.

But...

Suo Lun was still going to die of asphyxiation!

And so, Turing Duo held the whip tight around Suo Lun’s neck, her expression calm, unmoving.

In her mind, she recalled scenes from her childhood.

Suo Lun had stripped her clothes off and tied her up with rope.

He wrote on her buttocks with the Bloodthirsty Pen and placed stinging caterpillars at her privates.

This had been her nightmare for life, and countless times she had fantasized about killing Suo Lun in such a way, and now she had finally fulfilled her wish.

Just like that, she watched as Suo Lun’s pupils slowly dilated.

Suo Lun was indeed different from others. Even at the brink of death, there was no fear in his eyes, just immense calm.

He hardly struggled, quietly waiting for death to arrive.

Turing Duo knew that a person would die from suffocation in about six minutes.

But to be safe, she would hold the whip around Suo Lun’s neck for a quarter of an hour; even if he was beyond revival, she would keep it there for a quarter of an hour.
