Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

At the same time, in a forest beside the Xixiang Valley Road, a group of Mohist disciples were busy, led by Master Ban who had not shown up tonight.

"Master Ban, everything is almost ready." A Mohist disciple approached Master Ban and reported.

Master Ban looked tired and was looking up at the sky. Upon hearing this, he turned his head to look at the dark and undulating forest on the side. He sighed leisurely and replied, "Well...then give the order. Wait for my order and be ready to start at any time."

"Yes." The Mohist disciple saluted and accepted the order, but did not leave immediately. Instead, hesitantly asked, "Master, do you really... really need to use it directly..."

His words were very confusing, but Master Ban understood what he meant. He raised his hand helplessly and said, "The arrow is on the string. Don't dwell on it anymore."

"Do your best and obey fate."

"...Yes." The Mohist disciple sighed, nodded, turned around and left.

Master Ban watched the disciple leave, sighed again, shook his head and stroked his beard.

The disciple just now was not an ordinary Mohist disciple, but a highly skilled mechanical engineer and an important talent.

It was for this reason that he dared to rashly question the plan.

But there is no point in raising doubts at this time.

The Qinglong Project was an extremely risky plan from the very beginning, and every link in it was full of risks.

This risk comes not only from the power of the empire, but also from within the Mohist school.

Since Master Ban and his men were determined to launch the Qinglong Project, they were naturally prepared to take these risks.

As long as Ying Zheng can be assassinated successfully in the end, all sacrifices and efforts will be worth it.

………………

Inside the convoy, the situation of the besieged Tianming and Shaoyu became increasingly critical.

Finally, the Six Sword Slaves got a chance. They decisively seized the fleeting opportunity and slashed with their swords, causing a streak of blood to explode on Shao Yu's body.

It was still just a minor sword wound, but this time Shao Yu was affected much more because it was his wrist that was injured.

With his wrist injured, Shao Yu lost the ability to exert strength with his left hand. He barely swung the Overlord Spear twice with his right hand and could only use the spear to support himself on the ground and had no choice but to stop.

Although the injured hand is the non-dominant hand, it is impossible to wield a spear with one hand.

If Tianming was the one who was injured, then the impact would not be significant.

Tianming saw this and called out anxiously, "Shao Yu!"

Shao Yu could only smile bitterly, "This time we are in big trouble."

However, the Six Sword Slaves did not take the opportunity to finish off the enemy.

Just capture them alive and make them lose their ability to fight.

Now that one person's fighting power has been destroyed and he has become a burden, it means that neither of them can escape - as a decent person and a passionate young man, he will definitely not abandon his companions and run away alone.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Gao calmly ordered, "Arrest them all."

The sisters Zhuanpo Miehun were about to throw out their chain spikes, but Tianming grabbed Shaoyu's belt and formed a seal with one hand again.

Almost instantly, the two of them turned into a group of flying butterflies and disappeared from the spot, escaping the encirclement of the six sword slaves.

Zhao Gao sneered at this and said, "Where are you going?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gao turned into a ray of dark red light and rushed out, instantly crossing a distance of several dozen steps. He clenched the five fingers of his right hand into a claw shape and grabbed the empty air.

Tianming and Shaoyu, who were planning to escape with the help of escape techniques, were immediately swept away by the palm wind raised by Zhao Gao. They staggered back two steps before they could stand firm.

Zhao Gao sneered and said in a sharp and feminine voice, "Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly, and the butterfly dreamed of Zhuang Zhou. It's all nothing but an illusion."

"But you, at such a young age, can so easily perform the Taoist secret technique Dream Butterfly Escape... You are truly a hero at a young age."

Tianming glared at Zhao Gao with a frown, and protected Shao Yu firmly behind him, and replied sarcastically, "I don't dare to be a hero, but at least I won't be as shady as you."

"Hmph, sharp-tongued!" Zhao Gao sneered, but he was not angry about it. He just flicked his fingers twice and said, "Capture them."

Shao Yu pushed Tian Ming aside at this time, gritting his teeth and yelling, "You go first!"

Tianming certainly didn't want to run away alone, so he quickly grabbed Shaoyu and pulled him behind him again, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"If we have to go, let's go together."

"None of you can leave." Seeing the two pulling each other, Zhao Gao said with a cold smile, and then urged the six sword slaves to take action with his eyes.

Zhao Gao didn't know how Tianming Shaoyu found this place, so he couldn't be sure whether those who had retreated before would come back again.

To avoid any unexpected events, it is better to resolve the issue quickly.

Seeing this, the six sword slaves were about to capture Tianming, but unexpectedly Tianming took the initiative to rush forward and challenge the six alone.

The six sword slaves obviously had no martial ethics. Even though Tianming alone posed no threat at all, the six of them still attacked at the same time.

Turn the soul and destroy the soul to restrain it, the real strong and chaotic god will attack, and the ghosts and monsters will cut off the water and look for opportunities from the side.

After just a few moves, Tianming was ambushed repeatedly by Duanshui Wangliang and was also injured and unable to fight again.

Tianming staggered back several steps and half-knelt on the ground weakly. His injured arm trembled as he clenched Mo Mei tightly and stuck it into the ground to serve as a crutch to support him so that he would not fall down.

Shao Yu smiled bitterly when he saw this, "I told you to leave but you refused. Now, we can only be brothers in distress and wait for others to rescue us together."

Tianming forced a smile, still refusing to give in. "I haven't fallen yet, why are you so anxious to say I'm doomed?"

"See how your big brother will help you turn the situation around!"

As soon as Tianming finished speaking, Zhen Gang flashed in front of him and struck him with another sword.

This time, Tianming was completely unable to stand, and he fell directly to the ground, lying there, his life or death unknown... He was still alive, but he might have fainted.

This bit of strength control is really strong.

"Tianming!"

Shao Yu couldn't help but scream when he saw this. He gritted his teeth and tried to force himself to fight again, but unfortunately one hand was powerless and he couldn't use the gun. He could only curse angrily, "Damn it!"

Zhengang was not polite either, and he also struck Shaoyu with another blow, knocking him unconscious.

But at this time, Tianming and his men's reinforcements also arrived.

Just as Zhen Gang raised his hand, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. Chen He suddenly arrived wrapped in golden light and thunder, and the Thunder Sword chopped Zhen Gang out with a loud bang.

Several other people wanted to take action, but they immediately stopped.

Because the others had also arrived. As Chen He took the lead in rescuing people, Gai Nie and others rushed over, and a group of people immediately protected Tianming Shaoyu behind them.

With such a group of people protecting them, the Six Sword Slaves alone were not enough. They all looked at Zhao Gao, waiting for new orders.

On the Mohist side, Chen He and a few others were on guard in the front, while Xiaoyaozi went to check on the conditions of Tianming and the other two.

After a quick inspection, Xiaoyaozi tore off a few strips of cloth from the corner of his clothes to bandage Tianming Shaoyu's more serious wounds, while saying to the others:
"It's not a big problem. Tianming just fainted. Shaoyu's injuries are not serious either. It's just that his hands can't exert strength for the time being."

Hearing that everyone was fine, Gao Jianli and the others felt relieved.

From the time they separated from Zhao Gao to the time they came here, it took about an incense stick of time. As a result, when they arrived, they saw that their leader was lying down, and the young master of the Xiang family was about to be killed.

Gao Jianli almost fainted when he saw this scene.

Fortunately, no real tragedy has happened yet. There are just two more wounded people on their side and one more tough guy on the other side. Compared with the accident of the giant, the latter is really not a big deal. At most, they can just run away if they can't win.

Zhao Gao looked at Gai Nie and others who appeared again, a sinister smile appeared on his face. He seemed very dissatisfied with this, but in fact he was secretly happy that they arrived in time to rescue the people.

Of course, I still have to say some harsh words:

"I didn't expect you to come back!"

Gao Jianli snorted coldly, stepped forward and said, "Ying Zheng is not dead yet, why would we leave!"

"How ridiculous." Zhao Gao's slender fingers slid across his chin. His cold smile was particularly creepy against his pale skin. "Do you think you still have a chance?"

Tian Heng kicked his spear, raised it with both hands, pointed it at Zhao Gao, and said defiantly, "We'll have to fight to find out."

Wei Zhuang, who came in as a substitute, immediately circled his target.

He looked at the six sword slaves, and a murderous smile appeared on his lips. "The last fight wasn't satisfying, it seems we can continue it."

Gai Nie would naturally advance and retreat together with Wei Zhuang, and would join forces again to fight the Six Sword Slaves.

The Six Sword Slaves have been doing smoothly since they formed the group. Except for the special existence Gu Xun, they have always been invincible and can kill anyone they want, until they met Guigu Zongheng and joined forces.

That was almost the first time they suffered a loss.

Later, they fought again at Daze Mountain and suffered an even greater loss.

So at this moment, the Six Sword Slaves actually didn't want to fight with these two masters, but it was obviously not their turn to make the decision on this matter.

They were powerless to influence the will of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, nor could they transfer the two most difficult people to other people - no one else could deal with these two except them, and if they changed to Yan Ri and the others, they would be defeated even faster.

With Gai, Nie, Wei and Zhuang firmly restraining the Six Sword Slaves, the pressure on Gao Jianli and the others was suddenly relieved. They no longer needed to carefully select their opponents as before.

Tian Heng, who had been unable to contain himself for a long time, turned his spear and simply chose the most difficult one among the remaining men and went straight for Zhao Gao.

At this time, Gao Jianli hesitated about who to choose as his opponent, and then Que Xie came to him and forced him to interrupt his thoughts and start fighting.

In this way, the remaining people on both sides are exactly three against three.

On one side are Yanri Shulou and Dianqing, and on the other side are Xiaoyaozi Xuenu and Chen He.

However, the six of them remained restrained and did not start a fight directly like the others.

Because of personal thoughts, there is a bit of a sense of giving up - fighting will not produce any results anyway, so why rush into it?
In this battle, Luo Wang only needs to delay time, while the opponent needs to seize the time.

Not to mention Dian Qing, as long as no one approaches the carriage, he is just a statue.

Xiaoyaozi and the other two were hesitating about how to fight.

If it's just three against three, it's basically meaningless.

None of them had the ability to kill or seriously injure the opponent in a short period of time, and the fight was just a simple tug-of-war.

Their goal was to kill Ying Zheng, not to confront the people of the empire.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiaoyaozi raised Xue Ji, and the golden Taoist Qi began to surge around his body, "Let me learn from the high skills of the two Tianzi assassins from Luowang."

Xiaoyaozi made a decision - he would take on the two Tianzi killers from Yanrizulou by himself.

In this way, with Chen and Xue Nu fighting against Dian Qing alone, one person should be free to assassinate Ying Zheng.

Xiaoyaozi's intention was very clear. Yanri obviously didn't want to be entangled by him. However, Xiaoyaozi was the person whose strength was second only to Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang. His actual combat power was slightly higher than Yanri and the other two. In addition, he was proficient in Taoist magic. He was determined to hold Yanri and the other two back, and they really couldn't get rid of him for a while.

Seeing this, Xue Nu and Chen He did not delay any further. Their time and opportunities were limited and they could not waste them.

Facing the aggressive Snow Girl Chen He, Dian Qing remained calm.

There are many people in this world who are stronger than Dian Qing in combat, at least ten of them.

But there are only three people at most who can defeat Dian Qing head-on.

Chen He and Xue Nu both have connections with Gu Xun, and Dian Qing doesn't want to fight with such people.

Fortunately, what he is best at is getting beaten. It is inconvenient for him to attack the two of them, but how can it be inconvenient for him to get beaten?

Dian Qing did not take the initiative to fight back, but still stood in front of the carriage. He first swung his sword to deflect Chen He's frontal attack, and then jumped up and directly blocked the Snow Girl who was attacking the carriage from above with his body.

With a loud clang, the Snow Girl and her sword were bounced back, but Dian Qing was still unharmed. He turned around and swung his Heaven-Slaying Sword downwards, once again blocking Chen He who wanted to take the opportunity to attack the carriage.

Chen He was forced to retreat, and Dian Qing also fell heavily to the ground. After picking up his knife, he immediately rushed to the side without stopping to continue intercepting the Snow Girl.

Under the joint attack of Chen He and Xue Nu, Dian Qing could be said to be very busy, but he also managed to keep a tight defense.

Even though the Snow Girl Chen He's body movements were extremely fast, she was still unable to break through.

It’s not that they are incompetent, it’s just that Dian Qing is being too outrageous.

His entire body was like a giant shield, and any part of his body could be used to block the attacks of Chen and Xue Nu. Coupled with the two Heaven-Slaying Swords, his agile and powerful body and precise control of timing, almost no attack could escape his block.

Judging from Dian Qing's performance, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest guard in the world.

However, this does not mean that Dian Qing can defeat Chen He and Xue Nu by himself. In fact, his fighting ability is almost the same as that of either Chen He or Xue Nu. It’s just that his powerful external skills give him the appearance of being invincible.

However, this kind of high-intensity combat consumes a lot of physical strength. Under the continuous attacks of Chen and Xue Nu, Dian Qing will soon be unable to hold on - he will not be defeated quickly, but such a tight defense cannot last long.

Therefore, the most appropriate and the only way to deal with Dian Qing is to consume him until he is exhausted. No matter how strong his hard skills or defense are, it will be meaningless.

However, this method has a huge flaw for the Snow Girl and her friends - they simply don't have time to waste.

The turmoil in the convoy has begun to subside. According to the planned retreat, the Nong and Mo families are about to start retreating, and they don't have much time left.

Chen and Xue Nu wanted to use their swords together again to break the impasse, but they knew in their hearts that it would not be easy to use this trick again. (End of this chapter)
