The Prodigal Son

Lu Ji was too fast, and he launched a sudden attack at close range.

Caught completely off guard, not only the people from Baojing Division, but even Qi Dachui standing to the side didn't react in time.

By the time Qi Dachui realized what was happening, it was too late.

"Thirteenth Young Master!"

Qi Dachui roared with bloodshot eyes and lunged forward without regard for anything else.

"Qin Yu!"

Xu Wan also shouted and leaped forward.

But both she and Qi Dachui were too slow!

Just as the sharp sword light was about to cleave Qin Yu in two, a figure suddenly blocked Qin Yu's path.

"clang……"

The sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out.

Lu Ji's sure-kill sword strike was blocked at the last moment.

Even so, the sharp sword energy still managed to cut a gash on Dong Liu's arm as he hastily made his move.

Fresh blood dripped down Dong Liu's arm.

But Dong Liu acted as if nothing had happened, and with a backhand strike, the immense power stirred up a cloud of dust, forcing Lu Ji back.

Although Dong Liu was injured, he seemed not to feel any pain. Instead, he looked at Lu Ji with some excitement.

Lu Ji did not answer, but he was secretly disappointed.

Everything is going exactly as I planned!

Except for that last one!

Even if this person had acted a fraction of a second later, his assassination plan would have been a complete success.

Unexpectedly!

This person acted hastily and was actually able to block my fatal sword strike!

As long as this person is by Qin Yu's side, he will have no chance to kill Qin Yu!

"Protect Young Master Thirteen!"

Qi Dachui roared and swung his golden mace at Lu Ji, who was forced back.

At the same time, Pei Du and the others, having realized what was happening, quickly rushed over.

"Qin Yu, you're lucky today, you scoundrel!"

Lu Ji knew there was no point in continuing the fight, so he yelled at Qin Yu and immediately retreated.

He knew he couldn't assassinate Qin Yu under that person's protection, but if he wanted to leave, they couldn't stop him!

However, just as Lu Ji was retreating, two ghostly figures suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

Seeing the two masked men who suddenly appeared, a cold glint flashed in Lu Ji's eyes. "You're courting death!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ji waved his hand and unleashed a sword aura.

"Zzzzt!"

The long sword was drawn, and a domineering blade of light slashed towards the sword energy.

boom!

The two forces collided violently, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Master!

Lu Ji's expression changed drastically, and he cursed Qin Fumeng in his heart.

That old bastard!

Do you think this grandson is an emperor?

Is it really worth sending so many experts to protect something as small as this?

Where did the Qin family find so many experts?

At this moment, Lu Ji was in a state of confusion.

He originally thought that even if his assassination attempt failed, he could at least escape unscathed.

But the sudden appearance of two experts threw him into a panic.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Ji immediately rushed to the other side.

However, the moment he moved, Dong Liu blocked his path like an iron wall.

On the other side, Qi Dachui and the others also gathered around.

In an instant, Lu Ji was surrounded by the crowd.

"It's you!"

Although Lu Ji had disguised himself, Qi Dachui recognized the person he had confronted at a glance.

"who is he?"

Xu Wan's voice was icy, and her eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"People from Beiqi!"

Qi Dachui's eyes flashed with a cold light as he stared intently at Lu Ji.

Dong Liu glanced at the two masked men who had suddenly appeared, a question lingering in his mind.

These two are quite strong!

They followed him all the way without him even noticing their presence?

That old bastard Qin Fumeng is really going to great lengths to protect his grandson, isn't he?

After a brief moment of surprise, Dong Liu asked the two reinforcements who had suddenly appeared, "Who are you?"

"Just another passerby!"

The fourth one gave an extremely perfunctory answer.

Dong Liu was speechless for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Then you all rest over there for a bit while I meet this person!"

"Don't waste time! Let's finish this quickly!"

Gui San didn't give Dong Liu a chance to fight Lu Ji alone, and launched an attack on Lu Ji without saying a word.

With this move, Gui Si stopped talking and immediately launched a fierce attack on Lu Ji.

Left with no other choice, Lu Ji was forced to join the battle.

The four fought fiercely, their violent forces colliding continuously.

Sand and stones flew all around, and dust filled the air.

The violent shockwaves prevented anyone with slightly lower strength from advancing.

Qi Dachui was about to swing his golden mace and join the battle when Xu Wan grabbed him, saying, "With their strength, if we charge in now, we'll only be causing them trouble!"

"good!"

Pei Du nodded, but his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

If he didn't have a mission to complete, he would have really wanted to join the fight.

Opportunities to spar with such top-tier players are rare.

Even if I get hurt, it doesn't matter.

"I'm going to kill him!"

Qi Dachui's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He ignored Xu Wan's advice and shook off her hand, ready to rush forward.

"Big Hammer! Don't take the risk!"

Qin Yu rushed forward and stopped him, then shouted through gritted teeth at Dong Liu and the others, "You three, don't kill this bastard! Just beat him half to death! Let Da Chui and the others practice on him!"

Just a moment ago, he truly felt the threat of death.

He even felt that he had one foot in the grave!

If Dong Liu hadn't reacted quickly, he would have had to treat everyone to a feast.

Pei Du and Xu Wan turned their heads at the same time and secretly gave Qin Yu a thumbs up.

That's a great suggestion!

This person definitely possesses the strength of the ninth realm.

Under normal circumstances, even if they joined forces with Qi Dachui, they would definitely not be a match for this person.

But if you beat it half to death, that's a different story!

The fierce battle between Dong Liu and his two companions and Lu Ji continues.

Upon hearing Qin Yu's roar, all three chose to hold back.

Even so, Lu Ji, fighting three against one, still couldn't withstand the attack.

Three experts at the ninth realm!

Lu Ji never dreamed that his attempt to assassinate Qin Yu would result in encountering three experts at the ninth realm!

escape!

At this moment, Lu Ji had only one thought in his mind.

However, facing the combined attack of the three, Lu Ji had absolutely no chance of escaping.

He tried to escape several times, but was stopped each time.

Seeing that escape was hopeless, Lu Ji also became ruthless.

Since we can't escape, let's fight with all our might!

Take them down one by one!

Upon realizing this, Lu Ji did not retreat but advanced, charging headlong towards Dong Liu.

As the longsword was swung, several sword shadows appeared out of thin air, transforming into a golden rain curtain that poured down.

"The Forgotten Life Sword Technique!"

Dong Liu's pupils suddenly contracted. "Who is Tuoba Liuyun to you?"

Lu Ji did not answer; his long sword moved with lightning speed.

The sword's momentum drew up arcs of light that filled the night sky like fireflies.

Lu Ji dodged quickly, avoiding the attack, but he was already confident.

This person must have a close relationship with Tuoba Liuyun!

As Dong Liu dodged, Gui San and Gui Si quickly attacked from both sides.

"Clang clang clang..."

The sounds of clashing weapons rang out continuously.

The four of them were faster than the last, and with Qin Yu's eyesight, he could only see afterimages.

Despite Qin Fumeng's past as a grandmaster and his current status as the top person below grandmaster, this was the first time Qin Yu had ever witnessed a battle of this caliber.

He felt like he was watching a martial arts movie with special effects.

Although the tangible true energy cannot be seen, the waves of energy generated by the violent true energy can be clearly felt.

He used to think that no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife.

But at this moment, he wavered.

When encountering such a top expert on the battlefield, even if he cannot withstand the explosive power of the cannonballs, he can certainly dodge them.

This is only a ninth-realm expert!

I wonder just how ridiculously strong a grandmaster at the pinnacle of martial arts would be...
