Chapter 1844: Chapter 1248: You Set Up?
When Mary swung the Moonlight Sword, the Jedi Knight opposite her was completely stunned.
Could it be that you’re a Jedi too?
But honestly, the Jedi Knight knew that the opponent definitely wasn’t a Jedi, for a simple reason: just look at that incandescent bulb in his hand, and then at the opponent’s “forty-ter saber, giving you thirty-nine,” which was pulled out and was even bigger, a sword filled with elegant patterns and a frosty aura — it’s like the difference between a firefly and a bright moon!
What the heck is this?
As the saying goes, longer is stronger, but naturally, the Jedi Knight’s incandescent bulb was no match for Mary’s Moonlight Sword. So the Jedi Knight swiftly perford a backward roll, quickly dodging Mary’s attack. But even though he wasn’t directly hit, the ensuing cold Sword Qi made him shiver, feeling as if he’d been thrown directly into a freezer, with even his blood about to freeze!
So you see, Jedi Knights without armor are just this unlucky.
Mary forced the opponent back with one strike, then grasped the Magic Wand and lifted it, shaking it vigorously. Suddenly, several lightsabers appeared out of thin air, floating behind Mary, aid at the enemy before her.
No, what on earth is this?
Seeing this, the two Jedi Knights were dumbfounded, as the Galactic Republic had no concept of magic. So races might have so-called witchcraft, but in fact, those witchcraft were just so application of the Force, basically not much different from performing useless rituals. What stood out was rely a sense of barbaric, crude mystery.
However, the magic learned by Mary was genuinely academic, from the Moon Magic of the Moon Princess Lani. How could Jedi Knights, who were out of tune with everything, compare? In the Magic Ring World, they probably couldn’t even defeat the Tree Guardian!
Confronted with Mary’s magic, these two Jedi Knights suddenly felt at a loss, not knowing what to do, and could only retreat.
But Mary clearly wouldn’t give them the opportunity. After summoning the Magic Sword, she swung the Magic Wand again, once more summoning the Moonlight Sword, continuing to slash forward!
Faced with Mary’s aggressive attack, the two Jedi Knights were imdiately forced to retreat repeatedly. The toothpick in their hands was nothing in front of the Moonlight Sword, and the two grown n were being driven back by a young girl, unable even to block the attacks!
At this rate, there would only be a dead end!
It wasn’t that the two didn’t want to fight back, but every ti they tried to seize an opening to counterattack Mary, the Magic Flying Swords behind her would swiftly attack them, forcing them to choose to retreat.
“We have to think of sothing we must!”
Two Jedi Knights were no weaklings, naturally unwilling to be beaten like this. They glanced at each other, nodded, and then tightened their grip on their lightsabers.
“We’ll act together and must block her!”
“Okay!”
“Move aside, now, three, two, one…”
“Boom!!!”
However, just as they planned to charge ahead in one go, the wall beside them suddenly exploded. Then, they saw a tall dark figure rush out like a Demon, pushing the corpse of a Jedi Knight, crashing into the two!
For Jedi Knights without armor, this sudden damage was a fatal blow. Before they could even react, they were knocked flying with the corpse by the dark figure, smashing into the wall on the other side. The entire wall collapsed, taking the nearby building down like dominoes!
“Uh…….”
Witnessing this scene, Mary silently put away the Moonlight Sword, helplessly looking at Duanmu Huai.
“Mr. Duanmu, isn’t this a bit much?”
“What’s the problem here.”
Duanmu Huai reached out his hand, wiped the wall, cleaning off the bloody, flesh-stained debris from his hand, then turned to look at Mary.
“Just getting rid of so rats, you wasted so much ti. Just kill them straight away.”
“I was worried about damaging the room…….”
Mary explained helplessly. In fact, with her abilities, dealing with two Jedi Knights wouldn’t take much ti. But since this was, after all, on Coruscant, soone else’s territory, as a well-mannered lady, Mary certainly wouldn’t want to randomly damage buildings. So she aid to push the opponent back while considering how to kill them with minimal bloodshed.
This was also why Ann hadn’t made a move. As the most powerful Mage of Manaria, if she acted, the entire house would take off.
But Duanmu Huai was another story, directly demolishing the opponent’s place…
“Why worry, it’s not our house.”
Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes.
“Besides, those idiots are foolish enough to try assassinating us; naturally, it’s their problem. This ti it’s an assassination, next ti they might directly use bombs to flatten the place. No matter how much you consider others, it won’t help, so take care of your own life first, don’t worry about those trivial things.”
“Yes…….”
Upon hearing Duanmu Huai speak, Mary could only obediently lower her head, silently gazing at the villa that had collapsed on one side. It seed that she didn’t need to worry about it being damaged anymore…
Although there were few guards around, they weren’t dead. Afterward, these guards hurriedly arrived and brought Duanmu Huai and others to Chancellor Palpatine’s office. The latter also greeted Duanmu Huai and the others warmly, with a kind yet anxious expression.
“My apologies, Your Honor, the Judge. I didn’t expect these people to be so bold. They dared to act like this in Coruscant, the holy center of the Galactic Republic, against the Republic’s guests. Please rest assured, I will address this issue and give you a satisfactory answer!”
Palpatine appeared indignant, seemingly very angry—well, perhaps he was indeed very angry. After all, even now, Duanmu Huai wasn’t dealt with adequately. Are those Jedi Knights just a bunch of idiots?!
After inwardly cursing those idiots, Palpatine once again smiled and looked at Duanmu Huai and the others. At that mont, they were sitting on the sofa, one was stroking Ogis’s hair like petting a cat, while the other two sat drinking tea—they didn’t intend to eat anything anyway.
“Please be assured, I have identified the perpetrator!”
“Oh.”
Duanmu Huai nodded, not saying much, just stroking Ogis’s little head next to him. The latter sat quietly and obediently on Duanmu’s lap, squinting her eyes, looking very content.
Uh… guys, you’ve just been assassinated, shouldn’t you have so reaction? Be it anger or sothing else, but is this calmness really necessary?
Upon seeing this scene, Palpatine’s eye twitched slightly, but the show must go on, and he had already found the target!
“Mr. Chancellor.”
At this mont, Count Dooku also arrived. Of course, in front of outsiders, he still addressed his teacher as Chancellor. Seeing Count Dooku arrive, Palpatine nodded, then motioned for the other guards to leave, before he raised his head, hands behind his back, staring at Count Dooku.
“Count Dooku! Our esteed guests were just assassinated at their residence, and the ones who attempted the assassination were Jedi Knights! How do you explain this?”
“Master, please listen to my explanation.”
As the others left, Count Dooku quickly reverted to his true self.
“I am working to gain control over the Jedi Order, but it needs more ti, and I also didn’t know they…”
“Didn’t know?”
But before Count Dooku could finish his words, Palpatine suddenly stretched out his hand and made a squeezing motion, causing Count Dooku to feel his neck being restrained, and his entire body floated in the air!
“Do you think I don’t know? This was all orchestrated by you behind the scenes! You dared to betray by attempting to assassinate Your Honor, the Judge!”
“???”
Listening to Palpatine’s angry roar, Count Dooku was stunned for a mont, then imdiately enraged.
Old geezer, you’re screwing over?!
Watching the scene unfold, Duanmu Huai also clicked his tongue in amazent.
Count Dooku had warned him beforehand and was then turned in by Palpatine as a traitor. Indeed, Palpatine wasn’t entirely wrong about the betrayal; Count Dooku did betray him. However, this betrayal seed to differ sowhat from what Palpatine ntioned.
“Uh…ugh…”
Count Dooku wasn’t a fool. He quickly understood that Palpatine intended to pass the buck to him! He desperately turned his head to look to the side, now extrely grateful for having disclosed the situation to Duanmu Huai earlier. At least now he wasn’t in a corner, unable to defend himself, with no choice but to die in humiliation. If Your Honor, the Judge, was willing to save him, he might have a chance!
His life or death now hangs on Duanmu Huai’s decision!
anwhile, Duanmu Huai also stared at Count Dooku, exchanging a glance with Ann and Mary.
Should we save him?
In Duanmu Huai’s view, Palpatine was certainly not worth keeping around, especially since Lumiaire had already inford him how Palpatine intentionally leaked information, luring the Jedi Knights to assassinate him. In contrast, Count Dooku was noticeably more obedient, and he hadn’t gone as far as Palpatine.
But… Count Dooku’s abilities seed lacking.
To be honest, Duanmu Huai didn’t care much whether Palpatine tried to kill him or not, as his goal was to strengthen humans and eliminate aliens. Even if Palpatine had the intent to kill him, he didn’t have the ability. As long as he remained determined, he could continue leading the humans in this Star Territory forward.
“Die, my apprentice!”
At that mont, Palpatine roared and flung Count Dooku away, raising both hands. Soon, a burst of lightning erged from his hands, striking towards Count Dooku. Count Dooku hurriedly drew the lightsaber from his waist, blocking it in front of him, defending against Palpatine’s lightning!
“Infinite power!!”
However, Palpatine clearly didn’t care about Count Dooku’s resistance. He revealed a ferocious smile, pushed his hands forward again, and the flashing lightning continued to accompany his movents, pressing towards Count Dooku once more!
At this mont, Duanmu Huai finally moved!
