Liu Jie thought: Meng Yunzheng's skills were beyond what he could handle, but killing a traitor was more than within his reach.
Rong Hou assumed everyone in the room had already gone down; the drug he used this time was a bit strong. He hadn't expected that Liu Jie, who looked like he was about to collapse, could still suddenly strike.
Meng Yunzheng was behind Rong Hou. Seeing this, he immediately called out, "Watch out."
But it was already too late. Rong Hou's talent for martial arts was inferior to that of his elder brother; he only knew some flowery, showy moves. Against a master like Liu Jie he couldn't even block one strike. The longsword pierced his chest, blood running down the blade onto the floor.
Meng Yunzheng suddenly lashed out with a kick, sending Liu Jie flying. Liu Jie clutched his chest, watched Rong Hou crash to the ground, and let out two dry laughs.
