People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

The Green Wolf King's eyes gleamed: "Having reached the Grandmaster level, are worldly attacks no longer effective? If one can kill such a being, even death would be worthwhile."

"Hehe, Mr. Hidden Bat, where are you going?" A soft, charming laugh rang out, and the Crimson Soft Sword roaming around made Hidden Bat shudder, a chill creeping into his heart.

“Miss Zi Nu, I admire Lord Wei Zhuang immensely and have long yearned to be with him. If you are willing, Yin Fu is willing to join the Quicksand!”

Without saying a word, Yin Fu knelt down.

Behind Hidden Bat, Mo Ya, Bai Feng, Parrot Song, Han Qiancheng, Cang Lang Wang, and the Corpse-Driving Demon Bai Du Wang were all speechless.

Han Qiancheng kept his adoptive father's earnest teachings in mind and said, "Miss Zi Nu, if we were to recruit a fickle, wicked, and bloodthirsty villain like Yin Fu, it would likely cause endless harm."

Hidden Bat almost opened his mouth and started cursing.

Zi Shen's expression remained unchanged as she looked at Cao Ze and the others who were engaged in fierce combat.

The white mist caused by the breaking ice obscured the view, but flashes of cold light, lightning, and sword light continued to appear frequently.

"Then kill them," Zi Nu said indifferently.

The hidden bat suddenly sprang up, leaped into the air, and conjured up mechanical wings to jump off the cliff.

"Hmph!" Han Qiancheng, who was already prepared, fired three beads in quick succession. Mo Ya and Bai Feng took the opportunity to kick him while he was down, scattering a bunch of bird feather talismans.

With nowhere to brace itself in mid-air, the hidden bat flapped its wings desperately, barely dodging two arrows, only to be pierced through the shoulder blade by the third arrow that followed. Its whole body was in a terrible state, with blood flowing freely.

Han Qiancheng kept in mind his adoptive father's principle of eliminating all threats, and once again fired three shots in succession.

Hidden Bat was struck by an arrow in the thigh and a bullet in the chest, and finally collapsed off the cliff, unable to continue.

Zi Nu said slowly, "We must kill Bai Yifei and not let him help the Marquis."

“Okay!” Parrot, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.

In her view, Zi Nu was Cao Ze's woman, so naturally she would cooperate and help him.

Bai Yifei, who was originally fighting against Wei Zhuang and others on behalf of his mother, changed his expression drastically when he saw eight second-rate experts attacking.

"Lord Blood-Clad Marquis, please forgive me." Mo Ya made the first move, joining Bai Feng in restraining Bai Yifei.

"Damn it." Bai Yifei shouted, slashing at the wolf king that stretched out its claws with one sword, parrying Zi Nu's Crimson Serpent Sword with the other, tilting his head to dodge Han Qiancheng's cold arrow, and bumping into the zombie biting by the Corpse-Driving Demon.

Han Fei muttered to himself, "No wonder Bai Yifei can command an army of 100,000; his strength is no less than that of Brother Wei Zhuang."

"My cousin's talent can't compare to my aunt's, but his strength is top-notch in Korea." A charming voice rang in Han Fei's ears, startling him.

"who are you?"

Lady Mingzhu, hidden beneath her robe, smiled faintly: "Ninth Young Master, who do you think I am?"

Another person wearing a bamboo hat emerged from the shadows. "Ninth Young Master, aren't you afraid of falling down while hiding in the tree?"

"A sea nymph, a traveler in a straw raincoat under the moon."

Han Fei narrowed his eyes slightly: "One of you is from the Bai family, and the other is from the royal family. How come you're together?"

The Chao Nv Yao calls Bai Yifei her cousin and the Marquis her aunt, making their identities self-evident.

He already knew the identity of the man in the straw raincoat from Cao Ze; he was his cousin, Han Xin.

Lady Mingzhu looked at the man in the straw raincoat with some surprise. She did not know that the man in the straw raincoat was a member of the Han family. Why would Ji Wuye and her cousin trust this person?

The man in the straw raincoat said with a sigh, "In the end, it was my carelessness. I didn't expect Cao Ze to keep changing his mind. Cousin, I won't stop you from killing the Marquis tonight, but Bai Yifei must be handed over to me. What do you say?"

For him, the Marquis was also a threat, and it would be best to get rid of her.

Han Fei shrugged: "Bai Yifei is right there. If you're so capable, then take him away."

He could guess why the man in the straw raincoat wanted Bai Yifei: he wanted to obtain the inheritance of the Hundred Families and gain the support of those pedantic and greedy old nobles so that he could drive his father off the throne.

The man in the straw raincoat glanced at Bai Yifei, who was being ganged up on. His original composure was completely gone, and "disheveled" was an understatement.

"That's fine too."

He vanished from his spot in an instant, coming to Bai Yifei's aid.

Han Fei was secretly alarmed. Just as Cao Ze had said, the man in the straw raincoat was also a first-rate fighter.

"Young lady, aren't you going to help your cousin and aunt?"

Lady Mingzhu's lips curled slightly beneath her hood. "Compared to these, it seems easier to win over the young master."

Han Fei asked, "Really?"

Madam Mingzhu was slightly startled, sensing a cold aura behind her that made her afraid to move.

"Young master's methods... are truly extraordinary."

Madam Mingzhu drifted away, observing her aunt's condition from a short distance away.

Upon seeing Cao Ze's gleaming gold and the crackling lightning in his hand, Madam Mingzhu couldn't help but mutter, "That little thief is truly despicable!"

If she still can't see that Cao Ze wasn't under the spell at all and was just putting on an act, she might as well kill herself.

The thought that the little guy she wanted to train was a big bad wolf, and that she was even making him massage her whole body, made Madam Mingzhu feel extremely ashamed and indignant.

She desperately wanted to show herself and join forces with her aunt to teach Cao Ze a lesson.

But she held back. The situation tonight was unpredictable, and the outcome would affect her future plans. She couldn't act impulsively because of this petty thief.

In the field.

The Marquis's white robes were stained red with blood, but her breathing remained relatively steady.

Ji Wuye's body was covered in frost, and the cold air penetrated his body, reducing his physical strength by 30%.

Wei Zhuang still gripped the Shark Tooth tightly in his hand, blood continuously flowing from his tiger's mouth, his right arm trembling uncontrollably, feeling somewhat weak.

Only three of the six snake bone chains behind Tianze remained, and the originally dense black aura had become extremely sparse.

He glared at Cao Ze, who was panting heavily. Why was he working so hard? Wasn't it because he thought that with a sword master behind him, he could easily win over the marquis?

To his surprise, the female swordsman still hasn't shown up, leaving him with considerable injuries.

The Marquis's exquisitely beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, exuding boundless charm.

She pursed her red lips slightly and looked at Cao Ze with a cold expression.

If this person's strength hadn't exceeded her expectations, these three would have been trapped like turtles in a barrel after she used "Ice Phoenix".

When Cao Ze saw the Marquis looking at him, he smiled faintly and said, "My lord, you can't escape tonight."

The Marquis sneered, "Is that so? If I want to leave, who can stop me!"

Ji Wuye's heart sank. Even with his confidence, he didn't believe the Marquis couldn't escape. Damn it, he had underestimated the strength of a peak Grandmaster. If it were just an ordinary Grandmaster, they would have already succeeded.

Cao Ze glanced outside the arena and was slightly surprised to see Bai Yifei being taken away by a mysterious person in a straw raincoat and hat.

Unexpectedly, the man in the straw raincoat chose to save Bai Yifei, was he betting that they could kill the Marquis?

Cao Ze said slowly, "Then let's give it a try."

The Marquis had a cold expression, but her naturally charming face made those unfamiliar with her feel less wary. In fact, this only added to her unique allure and made her more attractive.

Looking at the Marquis's exquisite face, Cao Ze noticed that the coldness in her beautiful eyes melted away completely against her peach-blossom-like face, turning them watery and tender, like a delicate and beautiful flower.

Especially those rosy little lips, half-closed, so alluring…

Cao Ze was startled and suddenly came to his senses.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis had used the same mental magic on him again, causing him to have impure thoughts.

The Marquis said, "You broke free so quickly; your spirit is not weak."

Cao Ze grinned and said, "Is it beneath your dignity, Marquis, to use such a seductive trick? If you enjoy pleasure with me, I would be happy to lend you a hand."

"You scoundrel!" the Marquis shouted, and attacked Cao Ze.

To outsiders, the Marquis's movements were not only fast, but also beautiful.

Her slender figure resembled a graceful white crane, elegant and swift.

A flash of black light enveloped Cao Ze, narrowly avoiding the Marquis's fierce attack.

The chilling aura invaded his body, only to be instantly expelled by the golden light protecting him.

Subsequently, Ji Wuye, Wei Zhuang, and Tian Ze ganged up on the Marquis again. In particular, Ji Wuye repeatedly shielded Wei Zhuang and Tian Ze from the ice spears in order to keep the Marquis alive, allowing them to injure her.

Every time the Marquis wanted to risk injury to eliminate Wei Zhuang, who posed a threat to her, she was held back by Cao Ze's unpredictable Yin Wu Lei, causing her to miss her chance.

She watched as Bai Yifei was taken away, while eight second-rate experts outside the arena were eyeing her covetously.

With this situation of ebb and flow, she had no choice but to die here in bitterness.

With this thought in mind, the Marquis declared fiercely, "Mountains may not move, but rivers will. Tonight, I will personally visit you and demand retribution!"

After saying that, the Marquis took Cao Ze's palm strike head-on and flew away.

Ji Wuye roared, "Damn it! Don't run away if you dare!"

The Marquis laughed three times, the sound echoing through the mountains and forests.

"A tiny bit of night, how ridiculous."

When Lady Mingzhu saw the Marquis rushing towards her as if to kill her on the spot, she cried out in alarm, "Aunt, it's me, Mingzhu!"

The Marquis paused slightly, then with a flick of her wrist, she grabbed Lady Mingzhu and quickly left.

"You brat, I happen to have nowhere to go for the time being, so I'll stay in your palace for a while."

She suffered a serious injury, losing 50-60% of her internal energy, and needs several days of recuperation to avoid any lingering problems.

Madam Mingzhu forced a smile, her pretty face slightly pale: "Aunt, please feel free to come and stay. Mingzhu will certainly take good care of you."

"That's for the best; we women are still the most trustworthy."

The Marquis's words revealed a hint of disgust towards men.

Madam Mingzhu kept her mouth shut, not daring to respond.

As the Marquis de la Cité passed through the dense trees and was about to descend the mountain, she saw a beautiful figure standing quietly atop a tall tree, without a sound.

"who?"

"The person who killed you."
