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

Gai Nie sheathed his sword, his eyes calm and still.

"In all things, the door and window should be round or square. Even if they are covered up, they can be restored, and the proper order will not be lost. You have not neglected your master's teachings."

Wei Zhuang suppressed his excitement and slowly spoke.

Gai Nie gazed into the distance in the dead of night: "The common people are in dire straits, and the world is in turmoil."

Wei Zhuang put the Shark Tooth Sword back into its sheath and said, word by word, "Of all the schools of thought, only I, the Strategist, reign supreme!"

Two figures, one in black and one in white, appeared exceptionally otherworldly, their clothes fluttering in the night wind high above.

Suppressing his emotions, Wei Zhuang said, "Senior Brother!"

Gai Nie looked down at the capital city of Xinzheng and said calmly, "Xiao Zhuang, it's been a long time."

In the distance, Cao Ze chuckled, thinking, "He really is a good brother."

No wonder the future Uncle Wei and Uncle Gai Nie have such a passionate and tumultuous relationship.

Just as Cao Ze was about to reveal his whereabouts and attract Gai Nie's attention, two chains suddenly shot out from the darkness.

Cao Ze was startled. He drew his Zhanlu sword to parry the chains and instantly retreated more than ten steps.

"who is it?"

Cao Ze gave a low shout.

The owner of those two chains was quite strong, at least at the peak of the second-rate level.

Two stunningly beautiful women with curvaceous figures emerged from the darkness, their faces half-hidden yet still undeniably alluring.

Cao Ze was slightly taken aback. "Transformation of the soul and destruction of the spirit?"

Cao Ze's expression immediately changed. The six sword slaves were inseparable from him, and the Soul-Swallowing Demon had already appeared. The other four sword slaves must be nearby.

As expected, four figures holding ancient-looking swords stood quietly upstairs, their auras instantly locking onto Cao Ze.

Cao Ze's heart sank slightly. The Six Sword Slaves, who were capable of matching or even killing a Grandmaster, were beyond his current ability to withstand.

He now has two options: either use the Lightning Transformation Technique to escape, then return with Jing Ni, Li Wu, and Yan Ling Ji, or...

A dazzling golden light shot into the sky.

Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie, who were enjoying the breeze on the watchtower, suddenly noticed Cao Ze being surrounded and attacked in the alley.

Gai Nie is not a busybody.

"Xiao Zhuang, let's go find a place to have a chat."

Although Wei Zhuang had some reservations about Cao Ze, he didn't go so far as to ignore it or kick him when he was down.

He said, "Senior brother, please wait a moment while I go to take care of something."

Gai Nie was slightly taken aback; this was unlike Xiao Zhuang's personality.

"Do you know him? Do you need help?"

Wei Zhuang's confidence was now extremely inflated. "They're just a few assassins. There's no need for my senior brother to take action."

After saying that, Wei Zhuang leaped and arrived at the street where Cao Ze was in just a few breaths.

Cao Ze was breathing heavily.

Knowing the strength of the Six Sword Slaves, he dared not hold back and went all out from the start.

They managed to hold out for a while under the combined attack of the six sword slaves.

Seeing Wei Zhuang land arrogantly on the ground, he panted and asked, "Brother Wei Zhuang, where is your senior brother?"

To compete with the Six Sword Slaves, only with Gai Nie, Wei Zhuang, and him combined can they put up a fight.

Wei Zhuang said proudly, "I can save you on my own."

Cao Ze looked speechless and looked up at Gai Nie.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gai Nie was not as arrogant as Wei Zhuang and had followed him.

The leader of the Six Sword Slaves, Zhen Gang, recognized Gai Nie.

He stepped forward and stopped him, "Gai Nie, the Luo Wang is on a mission, please leave."

Gai Nie was not unfamiliar with the Six Sword Slaves under Zhao Gao, who was under the command of Empress Dowager Zhao Ji.

He glanced at the young man next to Wei Zhuang and recognized Cao Ze.

"He is my junior brother's friend, please give me some face."

The demon of the Six Sword Slaves sneered, "People in the marketplace call you a Sword Saint. Do you really think you're some unknown Sword Saint?"

Gai Nie said calmly, "I know I am no match for the Nameless Sword Saint, so there is no need for you to mock me."

Zhen Gang said coldly, "Gai Nie, do you really want to stop the Luo Wang from carrying out its mission?"

Gai Nie drew his sword, Lin Yuan. "You can think of it that way."

Ying Zheng wanted to see Cao Ze, and he would never let Cao Ze die at the hands of the Luo Wang (a criminal organization).

"Then there's nothing to discuss."

The six sword slaves instantly changed formation, becoming a unified entity.

Gai Nie retreated to Wei Zhuang's side and said to Wei Zhuang, "Little Zhuang, this person's martial arts are no less than yours or mine."

Cao Ze couldn't help but smile. With Uncle Gai Nie's words, the advantage was theirs!

Chapter 349 Beauty Like Jade, Sword Like a Rainbow

A quiet little courtyard planted with spring flowers.

A stunning beauty, adorned with six fiery red hairpins, possessing delicate, picturesque eyebrows, and striking red lips.

The beautiful woman sat on the swing under the tree as usual, her delicate white feet dangling in the air, swaying back and forth.

The dark night was suddenly tinged with a faint gold, and Yan Lingji raised her beautiful face blankly, gazing at the night sky.

This golden hue is...

Yan Lingji's pretty face suddenly changed; this was the golden light that Cao Ze had cultivated uniquely.

"Jing Ni—"

Yan Lingji suddenly cried out and turned to leave the courtyard.

Li Wu, who was playing with Xiao Yan'er inside the house, subconsciously looked out the window and saw Yan Lingji run out.

She was slightly taken aback.

Seriously? Is Fire Princess out of her mind? Why is she calling for Jing Ni to run away?

Jing Ni, who was meditating cross-legged on the couch, suddenly opened her eyes, picked up the Jing Ni sword beside her, and went outside.

"Take good care of Yan'er."

This was the last thing Jingni said to Liwu.

When she carried the still giggling Xiao Yan'er out of the room, she saw the faint golden light in the night and suddenly understood why the Fire Fairy was so brave and why Jing Ni was so cautious in her departure.

The dazzling golden light illuminated a large part of Xinzheng City.

Ji Wuye sent Mo Ya and Bai Feng to investigate.

A man wielding two swords, exuding a violent aura, was smashing through the roofs of countless houses as he charged towards Cao Ze at full speed.

Suddenly, the quiet night in Xinzheng became lively.

"Brother Gai Nie, Brother Wei Zhuang, I'll cooperate with you!"

With a clear shout, Cao Ze unleashed the Northern Azure Pool technique.

The invisible power of Yin Five Thunders seemed to instantly merge with its surroundings, becoming sticky and clingy.

Under Cao Ze's manipulation, these Yin Wu Lei, which resembled PetroChina in their perception, perfectly bypassed Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie, thus restricting the perfectly coordinated Six Sword Slaves.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang stood on either side of Cao Ze, fending off the heavy attacks of the Six Sword Slaves.

"These guys are really troublesome." Wei Zhuang parried the combined attack of Zhen Gang and Duan Shui, and said in a low voice, "Senior brother, let's join forces."

The simultaneous appearance of the six sword slaves might have made even their teacher, Gongsun Yan, cautious.

Wei Zhuang glanced at Cao Ze, who was focused on playing support, swung his sword to repel the demon, and said in a calm voice, "Mr. Cao Ze, do you know the Taoist Three Talents Formation?"

The difference between having a formation and not having one is enormous.

Just like the six-in-one combined attack formation of the Six Sword Slaves, it enables four first-class masters and two second-class masters to have the ability to hunt down grandmasters.

If he and Xiao Zhuang were both half-step Grandmasters, they might have a chance to defeat the Six Sword Slaves if they used the combined attack.

However, the current situation is not favorable for them.

Cao Ze continued to use the power of Yin Five Thunder. Upon hearing Gai Nie's words, he shook his head slightly: "I have only heard of its name, but I have never learned it."

The Three Talents Battle Formation is a unique formation of the Taoist Heaven and Man School, much like the Twenty-Four Earthly Branches of the Farmer School and the Mohist School's adherence to established rules, making it difficult for outsiders to learn.

He paused and said, “Brother Gai Nie, the Six Sword Slaves are all one entity, like one person. To defeat them, we must first disrupt their formation and injure all ten of their fingers. It would be better to cut off one of their fingers.”

"Kill whom?" Gai Nie asked coldly, uttering only two words.

Cao Ze's gaze swept over the six sword slaves around him for a moment, then he whispered, "Sever Water!"

After his initial observation, he found that this blind old man had an amazing sense of perception.

Its own northern Cangtan had the least impact on it.

What surprised him even more was that the old man's lips would move with every change in the Six Sword Slaves' formation and attack rhythm.

Clearly, the apparent leader of the Six Sword Slaves is Zhen Gang, while the hidden leader is Duan Shui.

If he wasn't mistaken, the person secretly following him without him noticing was this old man.

Gai Nie said coldly, "Xiao Zhuang!"

"it is good!"

Wei Zhuang let out a loud shout, and the Shark Tooth Sword in his hand hummed.
