Starting with a blind date with a female constable, you acquire the Nine Swords of Dugu.

The moment they saw Mu Shuyao, Shen Qingqiu and the others all gripped their weapons.

at the same time,

A constable took out a signal flare and shot it into the sky, where it exploded instantly.

Mu Shuyao still had a faint smile on her face as she said, "Shen Qingqiu, Gu Guanqi, Fang Cunxin, and the four heroes of the Chen family all seem to value me quite a bit."

Shen Qingqiu, wielding two swords, stepped out the door and said, "Mei Ruolian, now that things have come to this, do you still intend to resist?"

Mu Shuyao shook her head slightly and said, "Shen Qingqiu, there aren't enough of you to kill. However, I'm currently in a bit of a predicament and don't want to resort to violence. So, I'll give you a way out. Leave now!"

Shen Qingqiu frowned slightly and said, "Mei Ruolian, aren't you getting a little too arrogant?"

"No," Mei Ruolian sighed slightly and said, "Shen Qingqiu, let me tell you the truth. If Yan Wangchuan were leading the team today, you might have some fighting skills, but without Yan Wangchuan, you have no hope."

I have cultivated a divine skill called the Celestial Transformation Skill, which has long since reached its perfection. In terms of martial arts, I have achieved the realm of Celestial Transformation, completing the transformation from male to female. However, I am still missing a Celestial Pill to stabilize my female state.

Therefore, this is your chance to live today. I cannot resort to violence, as it would be too taxing and could disrupt my condition. That's why if you attack, my years of hard work will be ruined, and I will torture you to death to avenge myself!

Shen Qingqiu's pupils contracted slightly.

She could sense the strangeness about Mu Shuyao, or more accurately, Mei Ruolian. She was also certain that Mei Ruolian, who had mastered her divine skills, was a force to be reckoned with.

However, the Six Doors are not intimidated by anyone when they are doing their jobs.

"Mei Ruolian, surrender now!"

Mei Ruolian closed her eyes slightly, her expression one of disappointment, yet that same look on her face made her appear incredibly charming.

"You guys are practically asking for death!"

When Mei Ruolian opened her eyes, her gaze seemed filled with helplessness and sorrow.

Shen Qingqiu quickly said, "Wake up, everyone! Don't fall for it! This Mei Ruolian must have cultivated some powerful seductive arts. Don't be bewitched!"

Mei Ruolian shook her head slightly and said, "Commander Shen, don't demonize the art of seduction too much. The art of seduction is not a soul-capturing technique and it will not control people's minds. It only enhances a person's charm and amplifies the emotions in other people's hearts. If there are no emotions, then the art of seduction is just like makeup."

Furthermore, I haven't cultivated any seductive arts. My Celestial Transformation Technique has cultivated a seductive body; the higher the level, the more perfect the seductive body becomes. Therefore, anyone's love or affection for me is genuinely for me as a person, without any mental manipulation!

Shen Qingqiu's eyes were cold.

"Stop talking nonsense and just do it!"

Just then, one of the constables shouted and took the lead in attacking, followed by the other three constables.

These four constables were not unknown figures in the martial arts world; they were known as the Four Heroes of the Chen Clan because they were all disciples of the same master, a renowned martial arts master surnamed Chen. Together, they were said to be able to rival the Eleven Towers of Qingyang.

The four heroes of the Chen family were the first to make a move.

The four men, each wielding a weapon, worked in perfect coordination. The leader wielded a pair of judge's pens, the tips aimed at Mei Ruolian's chest acupoint; the man on the left wielded a thick-backed single-edged sword, its blade sweeping across Mei Ruolian's waist and ribs; the man on the right wielded a soft whip, its tip like a venomous snake's tongue, coiling towards Mei Ruolian's ankles; the last man wielded a pair of short halberds, protecting the four men's rear and blocking Mei Ruolian's retreat.

The four weapons, operating in four directions, complemented each other perfectly.

however--

Mei Ruolian was moved.

Her movements were so fast they were almost invisible; a white shadow flickered slightly in the moonlight before she slipped through the encirclement of the four. Several embroidery needles gleamed at her fingertips, as fine as hairs, yet they whistled sharply through the air.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff—"

The four soft sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

The four heroes of the Chen family froze simultaneously, their weapons clattering to the ground. Each of them clutched an acupoint on their body, where a fine, hair-like embroidery needle was inserted, its tip embedded in the flesh, only a short, gleaming silver protrusion visible. The four collapsed to the ground, unable to move, their faces filled with horror.

Mei Ruolian glanced down at the four of them, her tone flat: "I told you, if you make a move, you'll be tortured to death!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Guanqi, Fang Cunxin, and Shen Qingqiu had already arrived.

Gu Guanqi took the lead with his sword, the Autumn Water Sword drawing a cold arc in the air, aiming straight for Mei Ruolian's throat. Fang Cunxin's spear followed closely behind, its tip like a venomous dragon emerging from the sea, piercing towards Mei Ruolian's back. Shen Qingqiu unleashed both swords simultaneously, one blocking Mei Ruolian's left retreat, the other slicing towards her shoulder and neck.

The three attacked together, their weapons—swords, knives, and spears—weaving together into an impenetrable net.

Mei Ruolian neither retreated nor dodged, and the embroidery needle in her hand flew out again.

This time, the needle was attached to an extremely fine thread, almost invisible in the moonlight. With a flick of her finger, the thread moved through the air as if alive, wrapping itself around Fang Cunxin's gun barrel.

Fang Cunxin felt a tremendous force surge from the spear, her hand went numb, and the spear almost slipped from her grasp. She gritted her teeth and steadied herself, only to see the silk thread rapidly travel along the spear shaft, instantly wrapping around her wrist. Mei Ruolian tightened her grip, the thread constricting, and Fang Cunxin groaned as a needle pierced her shoulder, blood splattering. The force sent her staggering backward, the spear falling from her hand and landing on the ground, impossible to lift again.

Gu Guanqi severed a needle flying towards his face with a single sword stroke; the blade and needle tip touched, sparks flying. He was about to give chase when Mei Ruolian's figure vanished from his sight.

too fast.

It was so fast that his sword didn't even have time to change its move.

Mei Ruolian had already moved closer to Shen Qingqiu.

Shen Qingqiu unleashed both swords simultaneously, their blades flashing like snow. The left sword blocked, the right attacked, each strike aimed at Mei Ruolian's vitals. Mei Ruolian dodged the first strike; the second, she raised her hand to parry, a needle clashing against the blade with a soft clang. Shen Qingqiu felt an extremely subtle internal force surge through the blade, numbing her entire right arm. The third strike... she couldn't strike.

Two embroidery needles simultaneously pierced the acupoints on her shoulders. Shen Qingqiu's arms went limp, her two swords slipped from her hands, and she staggered back several steps, crashing into a pillar before slowly sliding to the ground.

From the moment the four members of the Chen Clan made their move to the moment Shen Qingqiu fell to the ground, only a few breaths had passed.

By the time Gu Guanqi changed his move and rushed over, the battle was already over.

In the courtyard, the four Chen brothers lay paralyzed on the ground, unable to move. Fang Cunxin knelt on one knee, clutching her shoulder, while Shen Qingqiu leaned against a pillar, his face pale.

Everyone was filled with horror.

No one expected the battle to end so quickly.

They were completely powerless against Mei Ruolian!

at this time,

Gu Guanqi thrust his sword towards Mei Ruolian's back.

Mei Ruolian turned around and her gaze fell on Gu Guanqi.

The night breeze lifted her long hair and skirt, and the moonlight cast a soft glow on her exquisitely beautiful face.

She rose gracefully, dodging Gu Guanqi's thrusting sword, like a cloud blown by the wind, or a white lotus blooming from the clamor of the world. Her dress fluttered gently in the night breeze, her long, ink-black hair flew behind her, and she landed on the tip of an osmanthus tree, the moonlight falling on her, making her appear somewhat dreamlike.

"Gu Guanqi, you're the only one left."

Before she finished speaking, her figure transformed into a white shadow, heading straight for Gu Guanqi. The embroidery needle flashed at her fingertips, and the silk threads drew countless almost invisible trajectories in the air, weaving into a net that enveloped Gu Guanqi.
