If I send you to join the army and marry a woman, will you conquer the Empress?

[Ding! Detected that the host is observing martial arts techniques.]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully mastered the low-grade Xuan-rank martial skill – Thunderclap Blade Technique!]

In an instant, a complete sword technique seemed to be forcibly imprinted into Qin Feng's mind!

From the starting stance to the finishing move, every wisp of true energy flowing, every muscle exerting its power, and even the trajectory of the blade cutting through the air, all become incredibly clear.

And that one fatal flaw!

Instead of retreating, Qin Feng advanced, gathering all the remaining true energy in his body at his fingertips.

"Imprisoner of Heaven's Finger!"

He neither chose to block nor dodge, but instead, amidst the dazzling sword light, he pointed out with unparalleled precision!

This seemingly ordinary finger strike landed precisely where the assassin leader's old strength had been exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated!

This is precisely the weakest point of this cut!

"Bang!"

A muffled thud!

The assassin leader felt a strange force coming from the blade, instantly rushing into his meridians, causing his whole body to tremble violently, as if he had been electrocuted.

His ferocious sword strike faltered for a moment.

"Now!"

Qin Feng's eyes were bloodshot. He squeezed out the last bit of strength from his body and slammed forward!

[Dragon Spirit and Tiger Might], activate!

"puff!"

The assassin leader, already suffering from internal injuries, was struck by Qin Feng and immediately coughed up blood. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, heading towards the bottomless cliff behind him.

His face still bore the marks of utter shock and bewilderment as he plunged off the precipice, his figure swallowed by the endless darkness and torrential rain.

"Huff... huff..."

Qin Feng's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down, panting heavily.

What a stroke of luck!

If it weren't for his photographic memory, which allowed him to find that fleeting flaw, he would probably be a corpse by now.

"Brother Qin!"

Xia Yingtai rushed over and supported the swaying Qin Feng, her face full of excitement at surviving a disaster.

She witnessed firsthand how the assassin leader, whose strength had put Commander Lü in a difficult battle, was actually killed by Qin Feng in a single move.

"Brother Qin, thank you so much for saving me..." She was truly grateful.

"Now is not the time to be thankful!"

Qin Feng interrupted her, his expression grave: "They still have more than a dozen pursuers. We must find a place to hide immediately!"

Xia Yingtai felt a chill run down her spine and realized what was happening.

Yes!

Although the biggest threat has been eliminated, the crisis is far from over!

He forced himself to stand up and looked around.

"there!"

Qin Feng, with his sharp eyes, noticed what appeared to be a cave entrance hidden by vines at the foot of a rock wall not far away.

Without further hesitation, he picked Xia Yingtai up again and ran wildly toward the cave.

The two entered the cave. The entrance was small, but the inside was a different world, dry and sheltered from the wind.

The raging storm outside was instantly shut out.

Qin Feng put Xia Yingtai down and leaned against the cold stone wall, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

The cave was pitch black.

Qin Feng took out a tinderbox from his pocket, blew on it, and lit some dry branches in the cave, dispelling the darkness and cold.

Then, he took off his already soaked outer clothes, wrung them out, and placed them by the fire to dry.

He was only wearing a thin undershirt on his upper body, which clung tightly to his body, outlining his firm and well-proportioned muscles and clearly defined eight-pack abs.

Xia Yingtai only glanced at it before feeling her cheeks burning, and quickly turned her head to the side.

"Brother Xia, why don't you take off your wet clothes and dry them in the sun? Otherwise you'll get sick," Qin Feng suggested.

"No... I'm not cold!"

Xia Yingtai's voice trembled slightly, and she instinctively hugged her arms tightly, not daring to turn around and look at him.

Make her take off her clothes in front of a man?

This is worse than killing her!

At this incredibly awkward moment...

"ah!!!"

Xia Yingtai suddenly let out a piercing scream and sprang to her feet.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Feng was startled and turned around abruptly.

"Snake! There's a snake!"

Xia Yingtai pointed to her thigh, her face turning pale with fright.

Qin Feng looked in the direction she pointed and saw a brightly colored venomous snake biting her leg tightly!

"Don't move!"

Qin Feng let out a low shout, his figure moving as fast as lightning, instantly closing in on the enemy.

He grabbed the snake by its vital spot and twisted it hard!

Click!

The venomous snake died instantly and he casually tossed it out of the cave.

"How are you?"

Qin Feng supported the swaying Xia Yingtai, and saw that her lips had begun to turn bluish-purple, and her originally rosy face was now deathly pale.

poisoned!

And it's highly poisonous!

"Brother Qin...I...I feel so dizzy..."

Xia Yingtai felt a sudden dizziness, her body went limp, and she collapsed into Qin Feng's arms.

"not good!"

Qin Feng's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

In this desolate wilderness, with pursuers outside, there's no way we can find a doctor!

"Brother Xia, hang in there!"

"What should I do? Am I going to die?"

Xia Yingtai was barely breathing, her eyes filled with fear and despair.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Qin Feng's voice was calm and powerful, offering her a sliver of comfort: "The poisoned blood must be sucked out immediately, otherwise the poison will attack her heart, and even a miracle won't save her!"

"How...how do I do it?"

Xia Yingtai's consciousness was beginning to fade, but her instinct for survival made her grasp at this last straw.

Qin Feng seemed to have made up his mind, and he forcefully tore open her pants, looking at the wound on her thigh.

Two tiny teeth marks were clearly visible, and the surrounding skin had an abnormal bluish-purple tinge.

"Brother Xia, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for a bit..."

"I'll use my mouth to suck the poison out of your wound!"
