I can refresh everything

Seeing Fang Zhi's worried expression, Cheng Ye wanted to say something to comfort her.

However, he swallowed the words back.

Today, it's the Crimson Moon Organization that's going to make a move.

Moreover, since the other party dared to publicly declare that they would assassinate Fang Zhi within this period of time, they must have a certain degree of confidence.

Fang Zhi knew that besides himself, some of his friends, and the assistance of the Guangcheng government, there was no one else on his side.

Especially the Guangcheng government—

Cheng Ye sighed inwardly, stretched out his rough, bony hand, gently patted Fang Zhi's hand, and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

"Since I turned sixty, I've realized that everything in a person's life is controlled by fate."

"If you're destined to survive today, then you'll survive this assassination attempt no matter what."

"if--"

Cheng Ye didn't continue.

After a long silence, he said again, "I will die before you."

Fang Zhi's expression darkened slightly upon hearing Cheng Ye's words.

However, a glimmer of hope quickly rose in his eyes.

Regardless, Cheng Ye, as a commoner hero of Guangcheng, possesses the Sun Control Realm, the seventh realm of cultivation.

In today's world, such cultivation level, if not top-notch, can certainly be considered unparalleled.

Cheng Ye must have a certain degree of confidence.

Lu Qing, Song Wanning, and Qin Qin landed thirty meters away from the villa, flying on swords with Yun Lingyao and Su Zhitang.

Su Zhitang glanced around and, not sensing any approaching aura from the direction of the villa, gestured for Lu Qing, Song Wanning, and Qin Qin to split up.

After that, she walked towards the villa while making hand seals.

A ray of light shot out from her dantian and transformed into a long spear in her hand.

The spear gleamed with silver light and made a crackling sound.

Seeing this, Yun Lingyao walked towards the villa from another direction.

Lu Qing, Song Wanning (mechanical engineer), and Qin Qin followed closely behind.

From a distance, before they had even gotten within ten meters of the villa, they saw that the guards outside the villa had already spotted Su Zhitang!

A series of furious shouts rang out.

Dozens of guards rushed towards Su Zhitang in groups, trying to stop her.

Holding a long spear, Su Zhitang charged into the fray.

Dragon-shaped lights illuminated the villa, and the blinding white light exploded as Su Zhitang leaped.

Screams echoed throughout the room.

Despite being attacked by groups of guards, Su Zhitang did not attack the villa, but instead ran around it.

Seeing this, Yun Lingyao exchanged glances with Lu Qing, Song Wan Ning, and Qin Qin.

Qin Qin rushed over.

She tore open the hem of her skirt, revealing her mechanical lower body.

The original mechanical lower body has now been transformed into a cannon turret.

As a beam of light rapidly condensed at the muzzle of the cannon, the dozen or so burly men who had been guarding Fang Zhi in the villa's hall sensed the killing intent and quickly gathered in front of Fang Zhi and Cheng Ye.

Two of them simultaneously drew several longswords, forming two layers of sword formations in front of the crowd.

As the longsword rotated, two transparent films quickly appeared, like flowing starlight.

Just as the two sword formations were completed, a beam of white light as thick as an arm tore through the void, pierced the villa's walls, and struck the two sword formations.

The figure who formed the first layer of the sword formation coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The longswords on the first layer of the sword formation emitted continuous mournful cries, as if they were about to fall to the ground at any moment.

Fang Zhi was utterly horrified by what he saw.

Cheng Ye's aged face, covered with age spots, trembled slightly.

After a while, he closed his eyes, his face full of exhaustion.

The other burly men all looked at him.

They had already sensed the formidable strength of these assassins!

However, before they could get a reply from Cheng Ye, a second wave of white light, as thick as an arm, blasted over.

This time, the figure who had formed the first layer of the sword formation immediately fainted.

The several longswords he had unleashed fell directly to the ground.

The man who formed the second layer of the sword formation had a flushed face and his eyes were filled with despair.

His body swayed violently.

The longsword he was wielding felt like it was about to slip out of his control.

What made him even more desperate was that two figures had already rushed into the villa!

It's none other than someone else.

It was Lu Qing and the mechanical engineer Song Wanning.

As soon as the two entered the villa, Song Wan Ning quickly made a hand seal.

Countless vines shot into the sky, rushing towards the dozen or so burly men besides Fang Zhi and Cheng Ye.

Upon seeing this, the burly men rushed forward to greet them.

The man who had formed the second layer of the sword formation quickly glanced at the two figures that had attacked.

The next moment, he screamed in a piercing voice, "The Great Swordsman Lu Qing! The Great Swordsman Lu Qing!"

"You are clearly the last disciple of the prestigious Kongchan Sect, how could you aid and abet evil and work for the Crimson Moon Sect?"

Hearing this, the others who were attacking also looked at Lu Qing in shock.

They did not know Lu Qing.

However, they had heard of the prestigious Kongchan Sect.

How could someone from such a prestigious family become a member of the Crimson Moon?

Cheng Ye sat in his wheelchair and looked at Lu Qing.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

He had dealings with the prestigious Kongchan Sect when he was young.

He had never met the closed-door disciple of the Kongchan Sect Master, that sword genius who possessed the only publicly known sword bone in the world. He had always kept him in his heart.

How did he end up on this path?

Lu Qing met the shocked and puzzled gazes of the crowd without hesitation.

He immediately formed a hand seal with both hands.

The sword box on his back instantly emitted twenty beams of light, which transformed into twenty newly made Hundred Mile Swords.

As if possessing its own intelligence, the twenty Hundred-Mile Swords quickly formed an array above everyone's heads.

As Lu Qing pressed his hands down forcefully into the void, he shouted, "Dragon-Trapping Formation!"

Twenty hundred-mile swords and his body simultaneously lit up with light.

Above everyone's heads, the light converged into a silver dragon.

The silver dragon opened its blood-red maw wide and spewed mouthfuls of white light at the dozen or so burly men below.

The dozen or so burly men immediately felt as if their spiritual energy had stagnated.

They were completely unable to mount an offensive attack.

At the same time, a sword beam tore through the villa and rushed straight at Fang Zhi!

Upon seeing this, the dozen or so burly men all looked at Fang Zhi, their faces turning deathly pale.

Fang Zhi felt the sword light tearing through the void, his whole body stiffened, and he dared not move.

Beside him, Cheng Ye, sitting in a wheelchair, looked at the sword light and sighed, "I'm getting old."

After saying that, he slammed his hands heavily on the wheelchair, and his whole body was lifted into the air.

His left hand pressed its five fingers onto his right wrist, and his right hand's five fingers joined together to form a sword, pointing towards the sword light that was tearing through the void.

A phoenix cry rang out from within his body, and a beam of light, resembling a phoenix spreading its wings, crashed heavily into the sword's edge.

The sword light instantly reversed and returned.

The phoenix phantom seemed to grab the recoiled sword light with its two claws and flew away from the villa.

At the end of the sword light, Yun Lingyao gripped the sword with both hands. Instead of retreating, his entire body spun violently, transforming into a tornado, and rushed towards the returning sword light.

The tornado shattered the sword's edge, pierced the phoenix's phantom, and arrived in front of Cheng Ye, who was still suspended in the void with a deathly pale face, in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Ye watched the enemy charge towards him, gave a wry smile, and was about to say something.

A blood-red vine suddenly swept across from one side, lifting Cheng Ye's head and sending him flying into the night sky.

Fresh blood sprayed all over Yun Lingyao.

Without hesitation, Yun Lingyao was about to stab Fang Zhi behind Cheng Ye again.

The crimson vines beat him to it once more, sweeping past Fang Zhi, across his chest, and swirling his corpse rapidly into the night sky.

Yun Lingyao landed on the ground and turned her head.

On the left, in the night sky and under the moonlight, a figure dressed in a blood-red wedding gown floated in the air.
