Rita then swung her katana, slicing towards him. Because it was so sudden, and Ling Feng didn't know where to focus his gaze, he could only hastily block the attack. However, his grip was rushed and his stance incorrect, making the impact incredibly difficult for him. His wrist felt like it had taken several times the force of previous blows!

"Whoosh..."

Before Ling Feng could adjust his stance, Rita's attack was already upon him again...

"Bang!"

At this point, Ling Feng didn't dare to meet the blow head-on. He could only roll on the spot to dodge the strike. Rita, however, showed no sign of letting up. As Ling Feng was rolling on the ground, she spun 180 degrees and delivered a precise kick to his stomach.

"Pfft..."

Ling Feng instantly felt like he was going to throw up his dinner. He quickly rolled out of Rita's attack range and scrambled to his feet, but there was no time to rest. Rita immediately followed up with another kick, and Ling Feng quickly turned his head...

"Bang!"

Then, the wooden wall was directly kicked through by Rita...

Ling Feng: "..." Does she really want to kill me with this much force? (Please ignore the sensitive word!)

Rita pulled her foot back, still holding her katana with both hands, and smiled at Ling Feng...

At this moment, she had gained the upper hand. As expected, Ling Feng still didn't dare to look at her body while fighting, so he would unconsciously avert his gaze. During combat, concentration is the most crucial element. Since Ling Feng couldn't concentrate, he was being suppressed by her!

Although this method was a bit excessive, I'm sorry, Captain. For victory, I'll stop at nothing!

During this brief respite, Ling Feng was also trying to find a solution. The current situation was overwhelmingly disadvantageous. He couldn't fight while looking at Rita's body and couldn't concentrate at all. Furthermore, Rita's gaze was always fixed on him, so he couldn't use her eyes to predict her feints. On top of that, swordsmanship inherently involves the coordination of the weapon and the body. If he couldn't observe the opponent's movement trajectory, combat would be extremely difficult!

Speaking of which, doesn't she have any shame at all, to undress completely in front of a man? If she simply wanted to win, she could have just used Honkai energy. There was no need to pay such a high price...

Moreover, rather than killing him, Ling Feng felt that Rita had other intentions. Although her attacks were incredibly fierce and each strike was fatal, as an S-rank Valkyrie, he could still discern some clues!

For example, when Rita attacked, her initial speed seemed a bit slow, but she would suddenly accelerate just before hitting him. This created a misjudgment illusion for him. It looked like a tactic, but in reality...

Ling Feng remembered a teammate from his past squad. When he was teaching her to fight, she did the same thing: slow initial attacks, but suddenly accelerating when he was sure she could block or dodge. If the opponent couldn't block, he could retract his attack at any time, thus not harming them. Was Rita... like that too?

"Whoosh..."

Before Ling Feng could finish his thoughts, Rita's attack arrived again. It was the same as before: a slightly slower initial speed, accelerating just before impact...

But Ling Feng still didn't dare to be careless and quickly dodged. What if his judgment was wrong? He hadn't lived enough yet...

"Whoosh... Swish..."

"Ah..."

This time, Rita suddenly changed her attack, slashing across Ling Feng's back.

Blood instantly stained Rita's blade...

"Captain, if you're distracted, you'll lose!"

Rita stopped her attack, a cold smile on her face. "However, it looks like I'll be able to kill you very soon!"

Ling Feng: "..." No, no, this expression... it looks like she really wants to kill me. What am I even doing...

Rita's attack came again. Ling Feng didn't dare to meet it head-on and could only continue dodging. But while dodging, Rita changed her attack again. Although Ling Feng reacted this time, his waist was still hit by a blade...

"Damn..."

Ling Feng immediately retreated several steps. Damn it, even though it only grazed his skin, if it had gone any deeper, it probably would have taken out his kidney. This maid is too ruthless. If she injures my kidney, don't blame me later...

"Captain, you seem to be absent-minded..."

At this moment, Rita's smile was gone, replaced by a serious expression. "If you don't get serious, I'll cut off your head next time!"

"Wait, Rita..."

Ling Feng quickly called out to stop her. Although he didn't know what he was going to say, any delay was good. He needed to find a solution quickly...

"Does the Captain have any last words?" Rita stared blankly at Ling Feng, her eyes showing no emotional fluctuation...

"Uh... well, since you're completely undressed, why not take off your stockings too?"

Ling Feng blurted out, his mind racing to figure out how to break this stalemate...

"Stockings?"

Rita's face suddenly flushed, and she hesitated before saying, "If the Captain wants to see, then I can take them off. It's just a bit embarrassing..."

Ling Feng: "..." Hey, hey, hey, this isn't right. You weren't embarrassed when you took off everything, but you're embarrassed about taking off stockings? Our values must be different... No, they definitely are...

Wait...

Looking at the blushing Rita, Ling Feng suddenly thought of something. The reason he didn't dare to look at Rita was partly due to shyness, and partly because once he looked at her, his gaze would involuntarily drift to certain areas, preventing him from concentrating on her attacks and movements...

It couldn't be helped, he was a young man full of vigor. Facing such a cute maid, it was impossible to stay calm, right? Moreover, a certain area was severely affecting his performance. If Rita swung her blade and he didn't dodge properly, wouldn't he become a target for criticism?

So...

The reason he was flustered was because he was facing a naked Rita...

The most important thing in combat is to concentrate. He was too focused on Rita's body movements, which is why he was so passive!

And Rita seemed to know his sword style, so she knew when he would attack. The fact that his previous attack was narrowly blocked was also because of this...

So, why not try the style of fencing? It's fundamentally different from Eastern swordsmanship, and...

Because in foil fencing, the visual field is relatively small due to the helmet, fencers often stare intently at their opponent's foil to deal with the situation. Perhaps this would be more suitable...

Chapter 66: Rita Falls, Heavenly Dao Cycles!

Ling Feng took a deep breath, re-gripped his saber, and pointed it at Rita, his mind clear of all distractions…

The Tiger Soul Heavy Saber Style, with immense power, to break through the enemy before him!

Ling Feng suddenly burst forward, initiating the attack. Without any wasted movements, he swung his saber directly at Rita!

"Bang..."

"Hm?"

Although Rita blocked with her saber, she felt something strange. She hadn't seen this saber technique before? No, this wasn't a technique at all, it was just a straightforward attack!

Then, Ling Feng spun in mid-air and brought his saber down vertically towards Rita's head…

This time, Rita dodged directly. She swung her katana with her right hand towards Ling Feng's left waist, but Ling Feng had no intention of defending. He directly turned his saber and also swung towards Rita's left waist, giving the impression of a mutual destruction attack…

"This..."

Rita was bewildered. This Captain wasn't playing by the rules! Even if he wanted mutual destruction, he wouldn't be able to hurt her…

"Bang-woosh..."

With a metallic clang, Rita let go of her right hand and dropped her katana. She hadn't injured Ling Feng, and at the same time…

She blocked her waist with her left hand, her arm encased in blue ice. The slash, without Honkai energy amplification, naturally couldn't break through Rita's ice…

"Sigh… I didn't expect this. I lost…"

Rita bounced back a step, smiling somewhat helplessly. "Captain, you're too much. You knew I wouldn't hurt you, so you used this method. It's too bullying!"

Rita had said before the fight that she wouldn't use Honkai energy, so she had lost!

"I'm sorry, but I don't regret it, because didn't you also use a kind of bullying method?"

Ling Feng sheathed his katana. At this point, he was certain Rita wouldn't actually hurt him. Otherwise, Rita wouldn't have dropped her katana. As for mutual destruction, it was impossible…

"Sigh, too much…"

Rita rubbed her forehead with a slight headache. "I didn't expect to still lose to the Captain. I planned to 'forcefully take' the Captain after defeating him, but it seems I'll have to wait for another time…"

"Hm?"

Ling Feng seemed to have caught a keyword… "Forcefully take"?

"Uh… Rita, what… what exactly do you mean?"

Ling Feng decided to ask Rita for clarification first, as Rita's actions had been too baffling. Why did she insist on fighting him…

"Just as it sounds!"

Rita turned around silently, picked up a bathrobe, and said as she put it on, "Because I wanted to forcefully take the Captain, but the Captain has always been so resistant, so I planned to forcefully take you after defeating you. But I still couldn't defeat you, so, let's just forget it…"

"Eh…"

To be honest, Ling Feng still had his doubts about Rita, as this couldn't be judged by normal thinking. However, speaking of which, Rita didn't seem like a normal person at all…

Ling Feng pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Then, how about we fight again? This time, I promise not to resist…"

Since they had already fought, Ling Feng decided to test the boundaries of his luck. He really wanted to understand Rita's thoughts; otherwise, being led around like this was too frustrating!

"Hm?"

Rita was also taken aback, then couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. "Hahaha, I didn't expect, I didn't expect the Captain would say such a thing. But, I agree, only…"

Rita walked closer to Ling Feng, her face infinitely close, and smiled, "How about we change our way of fighting this time? For example…"

"Uh…"

Seeing Rita's smile, Ling Feng felt something was amiss…

Rita leaned into Ling Feng's ear, blew gently, and said softly, "Meat that reaches the mouth should be eaten until not even the bones are left. I don't want to play hard to get…"

As she spoke, she tiptoed slightly, and Rita's soft lips pressed against Ling Feng's lips. She even tentatively extended her tongue. Although this was her first time, Rita was already a master who had studied many learning materials. Despite her clumsy movements, she at least knew what to do…

On the other hand, Ling Feng, though still somewhat bewildered, at this moment…

Ling Feng gently embraced Rita and responded to her earnestly. For some reason, he felt a sweet taste in her mouth, the taste of black tea. Ling Feng also noticed…

Although this maid had always appeared to be an experienced player, she was actually very inexperienced. Moreover, as their bodies pressed together, he could feel Rita's heart racing and her body trembling. It seemed this maid's inner self was far less mature than her outward appearance…

He gently picked up Rita and pushed her onto the bed…

Rita showed no intention of resisting, being gently pinned down beneath him, quietly enjoying the sensation on her lips. At this moment, she had completely stopped moving, adopting a posture of complete submission…

"Wait, wait a moment…"

Just as Ling Feng was about to proceed, Rita suddenly called out to stop him. She felt something was wrong and wanted to struggle…

"What's wrong?"

Ling Feng released Rita and saw that she was already in a somewhat dazed state, but she looked incredibly alluring…

Rita appeared hesitant and flustered. "Cap, Captain, I… I was joking… I… mmmph…"

Joking? Joking about what?

Ling Feng had no intention of letting her off the hook now. You came looking for me first, you started trouble first, and you were the one who wanted to play with fire. Now you want me to cool down? You must be joking...

Turning the tables, Ling Feng went all out. The bathrobe Rita had been wearing for less than three minutes was once again reduced to shreds. It was like a 60-player match against 40 players. Tell me, how can you lose when you have the high ground?

A moment later, Ling Feng leaned close to Rita's ear, blew gently, and chuckled, "Rita's right. When meat is in your mouth, you have to eat it all, down to the bone. Playing hard to get? Not for me..."

Rita "Mmm? No, don't... whimper..."

Rita was stunned for a moment, wanting to resist. But she realized her defenses had already fallen, both towers on the high ground had collapsed, and the opponent had already broken through to her base!

However, the quality of the Japanese bed seemed a bit questionable, creaking constantly as if it might collapse at any moment. But three minutes later, the creaking stopped...

Because the bed collapsed...

Afterward, the two resumed their battle until the middle of the night. After Ling Feng secured a triple kill, he injected Rita with energy three times before calling it a day.

In this battle, the Hero of Maple, clad in a white bathrobe, charged in and out of the enemy lines three times amidst a million soldiers, destroying the twin towers, breaching the final defense line, successfully defeating one enemy general, and subduing her. He successfully captured an important stronghold, while his own great general exhausted his stamina and paid the price with the lives of billions of soldiers to finally bring the battle to a close!

Later generations praised it with a poem: Great generals and masters cannot hold their ground, a million soldiers flee from the white robe!

Chapter 67: Captain, no begging for mercy.

The next day, as the earth slowly awoke, a ray of dawn broke the silence of the night, falling evenly on Rita's smooth skin. She was still fast asleep. After two battles last night, even she, an S-rank Valkyrie, felt tired.

Rita lay sprawled on the bed, which had now become the floor. She was covered only by a thin blanket, which perfectly outlined her flawless figure.

"Sigh, I didn't expect it to be real..."
