The newcomer was a stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a light blue outfit that accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, yet she carried a chilling murderous aura.

The sudden turn of events caused everyone present to pause slightly, and even the fighting subconsciously stopped for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Tuoba Ku on the high platform narrowed his eyes, a look of seriousness flashing across them.

He could sense that the aura emanating from this woman was far stronger than his own.

He guessed that the white jade token was probably with this woman.

He composed himself and said in a deep voice, "Hand over the goods, and I may spare your life and even grant you a lifetime of wealth and honor."

Gu Yu's beautiful eyes turned cold. She was proud and had never bothered to talk to petty people.

A sharp killing intent flashed in her eyes, and her red lips parted slightly, "You're courting death!"

Before she finished speaking, she leaped into the air and broke through the city guards' encirclement, heading straight for Tuoba Ku.

Gu Yu knew perfectly well that to catch the thief, one must first catch the king.

Once the culprit, Tuoba Ku, is dealt with, the current predicament will be easily resolved.

"Good timing!"

Tuoba Ku was not surprised but delighted upon seeing this. He held a long sword and went to meet him.

Swords clashed.

Tuoba Ku felt an overwhelming force coming from the longsword, which made his arms go numb and he could barely hold the sword.

With just one strike, he realized that this woman's strength was definitely above his own.

Fortunately, he was wearing the city lord's exclusive heavy armor made of black iron, which had strong defensive capabilities.

Gu Yu's swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and her movements were even more unpredictable, like a ghost.

Several swords were thrust out, all accurately hitting Tuoba Ku's vital points, but they were all blocked by the thick black iron armor, failing to harm him in the slightest.

On the battlefield, the sounds of battle still shook the heavens, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Lin Feng, who was mixed in with the crowd, took in all of this.

Yang Laowu merely watched the battle from the sidelines without actually making a move; the fighting scene seemed far less chaotic than he had anticipated.

Seeing that Zhao Erniu was gradually losing ground, Lin Feng's eyes lit up and he had an idea.

He quietly took out a jade pendant from his bosom, which was pure white and had a warm luster. It was the White Jade Token that everyone coveted.

He fought his way back to a safe corner, and when he saw an opportunity, he suddenly threw the white jade token into the air. The jade token drew a beautiful arc and flew straight towards Zhao Erniu.

At the same time, he shouted, "Brother Niu, it's fine to give them the Jade Token. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback. Survival is the most important thing!"

This shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly drew everyone's attention.

Tuoba Ku and Gu Yu, who were engaged in fierce fighting, were both shocked and simultaneously withdrew from the fray.

All eyes were drawn to the white jade token that shone brightly in the air.

Upon seeing the jade token, their eyes lit up, and they both dashed toward the white jade token.

Seeing that he couldn't keep up with the speed, Tuoba Ku shouted, "Whoever grabs this token will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers and disciples who had been attacking Zhao Erniu all looked at the token.

Yang Laowu, who had been hiding in the crowd and not making any moves, couldn't care less about anything else at this moment.

No longer pretending, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, and his body shot out like an arrow.

In the end, Gu Yu and Yang Laowu almost simultaneously seized the white jade token.

The touch of their fingertips on the warm, smooth jade token caused them to release their inner energy. Seeing the token's name glow, both of them were overjoyed and instantly determined that the white jade token was undoubtedly genuine.

A ruthless glint flashed in Yang Laowu's eyes, and he thrust a short blade coated with deadly poison toward Gu Yu's heart.

Gu Yu reacted extremely quickly. With a flick of her wrist, she held her long sword horizontally in front of her chest, steadily blocking the sneak attack from the short blade. She then executed a superb sword flourish, forcing Yang Laowu to retreat repeatedly.

The white jade token that I have obtained must not be lost.

Using the momentum, Yang Laowu suddenly flipped in mid-air, and the powerful force caused Gu Yu's body to spin involuntarily in the air as well.

Just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, Tuoba Ku arrived. Wielding a long sword, he brought immense power and slashed down at the two of them.

Yang Laowu and Gu Yu were both in the air, neither willing to expose their backs to this thunderous attack.

In a flash, the two of them tacitly withdrew their attacks at the same time. Yang Laowu flicked his wrist, turning his short blade from a thrust into a parry.

Gu Yu's longsword spun around, its azure light drawing an arc.

With a single strike, he forced both experts back several steps.

The three figures briefly joined together and then separated, each occupying a corner, forming a tripod-like confrontation.

Lin Feng, huddled in the corner, stared intently at the figures tumbling across the field, a wave of envy washing over him.

"That's what you call a master!"

He squinted, watching the three men's moves.

Gu Yu was undoubtedly the strongest, with movements as elusive as a ghost and swordsmanship that was sharp and ruthless. Every thrust was incredibly fast, forcing his opponents to defend with all their might.

Secondly, there's Yang Laowu. At first glance, this old fellow's moves seem simple and unadorned, even a bit clumsy, but he specializes in using underhanded and insidious methods.

It reveals a ruthless nature that will stop at nothing to achieve one's goals.

"Shameless!"

The frost in Gu Yu's beautiful eyes almost solidified as she squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

She detests this kind of fighting style that relies on external aids and is constantly entangled in the game.

As for the city lord Tuoba Ku, in terms of skill and foundation alone, he is probably the weakest link.

That heavy black armor, infused with black iron, withstood several of Gu Yu's sword strikes, leaving only a few white marks, making him look like a tin turtle.

Gu Yu felt frustrated, like a dog trying to bite a hedgehog but having nowhere to start. He wanted to resolve the situation quickly, but Yang Laowu kept blocking him.

Tuoba Ku's gaze fell on Yang Laowu's drab gray outfit, until he noticed an inconspicuous black tiger embroidery on the hem.

A sudden shock ran through him. "People from the Black Tiger Martial Arts School?"

He instantly understood that they were also lurking for the sake of the White Jade Token.

With lightning speed, Gu Yu flashed a green shadow and firmly grasped the warm, smooth token in her hand.

Tuoba Ku and Yang Laowu exchanged a knowing glance, and the two who had been wary of each other just moments before instantly formed a temporary alliance.

Without any hesitation, he simultaneously turned his blade and short sword, aiming at Gu Yu who had just landed.

Despite facing two opponents alone, Gu Yu showed no fear.

Her movements were agile, as if she were dodging and weaving amidst the flashing blades. She wielded a long sword with impenetrable force, showing no signs of defeat. Instead, she subtly restrained the two men's attacks with her exquisite footwork.

Although Tuoba Ku was slightly less skilled, he was tough and fearless, and his moves were wide and sweeping. He was good at causing trouble and doing dirty and tiring work.

They held Gu Yu firmly in their own hands, creating an opportunity for Yang Laowu to launch a sneak attack.

Gu Yu knew that a prolonged battle would be disadvantageous, and that the two opponents complemented each other's strengths and weaknesses.

She fought and retreated, relying on her speed advantage to gradually move towards the dense forest behind the mountain stronghold, trying to escape the encirclement.

Lin Feng, lying behind the rock, could see it clearly.

If the fighting continues like this, the three sides will restrain each other, and none of them can do anything to the others. An external force will have to break this fragile balance.

With a quick glance, he leaped up to a lush tree not far away.

The dense canopy of trees perfectly concealed his figure.

He took out an AR-15 rifle from his spatial storage.

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then switched to the Three Stone Bow.

He really had little confidence in his marksmanship.

A sneak attack requires a single, decisive blow.

It would be bad if we were prepared.

Lin Feng was confident that the bow and arrow were the more reliable option.

Rifles are still suitable for indiscriminate attacks.

He nocked an arrow, squinted one eye, and slowly scanned the three people fighting fiercely below.

Gu Yu was too fast; one moment she was in front of you, the next she was behind you, making it difficult to pinpoint her location.

Old Yang is a slippery old fox, always using Tuoba Ku's figure as cover.

After looking around, Tuoba Ku, who was wearing heavy armor and moved relatively clumsily, was still the most suitable target.

Anyway, the city lord wasn't a good person, so Lin Feng didn't feel any guilt.

Lin Feng was in no hurry to shoot the arrow, waiting for the perfect moment to hit the target.
