The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

With his Grandmaster strength, plus Xuan Jian, who is at the peak of the half-step Grandmaster level, and more than a dozen Earth-level assassins with second-rate strength, and more than forty Absolute-level assassins, what difference would one more Ya Fei make!

As long as there are no grandmasters here, he can do whatever he wants today!

Cao Yuan slowly drew his greatsword, and said with a half-smile, "It seems that the leader of the Hidden Sun has us cornered?"

He didn't care whether Yan Ri would block them here.

Because it doesn't matter.

With his and the three women's strength, now that they have encountered Yan Ri, the only thing they need to consider is how to prevent Yan Ri from escaping and kill him so that they can have some peace and quiet for a while.

Yan Ri sneered, "I knew you had the strength of a half-step Grandmaster, which surprised me. But today is different. I have now reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, which is beyond your reach."

Although he didn't know why he had cultivated faster in the last six months, found it easier to capture spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and improved more than ever before, there was no doubt that he had become stronger!

Given time, breaking through to the Grandmaster level will be just around the corner!

At this moment, Yan Ri unleashed an astonishing aura without reservation.

Behind Yan Ri, Xuan Jian, whose eyes were empty, had a glint of light and a strange light in them, which then disappeared and he returned to his controlled puppet state.

"Peak Grandmaster?!" Ya Fei was shocked and immediately said to Cao Yuan, "Quick, let's go back to Handan first."

If it were just Yan Ri and Xuan Jian, she, along with Cao Yuan and Jing Ni, who was suspected to be a master swordsman, might still have a fighting chance, and it wouldn't be impossible for her to kill Yan Ri.

But on the other side, there were more than a dozen second-rate Earth-level assassins and dozens of Absolute-level assassins.

Clearly, Yan Ri has brought all the elite assassins from the Luo Wang organization within the Zhao state.

She frequently investigated and suppressed the Luo Wang people in Handan, and was well aware of how difficult these people were to deal with.

Aside from Yan Ri and Xuan Jian, these people are comparable to a Grandmaster-level expert.

It should be noted that even a Grandmaster at the peak is equivalent to an army of only one or two hundred people at most.

"Your Highness, stop Xuan Jian."

Cao Yuan immediately began making arrangements, "Jing Ni, you deal with Yan Ri."

"The rest of the people will be dealt with by me and Li Wu Xiao Meng Jiang."

He was now somewhat glad that he hadn't stopped Jing Ni from stepping in to teach Xiao Meng Jiang how to fight.

Otherwise, even if Xiao Mengjiang possesses first-rate strength, she would probably find it difficult to utilize much of it.

Ya Fei opened her mouth slightly, looked at Cao Yuan, and hesitated to speak.

Because she suddenly realized that the aura emanating from Jing Ni was no weaker than that of Yan Ri, and was even stronger.

"This……"

Ya Fei was surprised. Now she realized that Jing Ni had been hiding some of her true strength in Handan and was not just an ordinary sword master.

Chapter 78 My Lord, Times Have Changed

"kill!"

Faced with Jing Ni, who had inexplicably become a Grandmaster at the peak, Yan Ri was surprised but not flustered. He let out a cold shout and took the initiative to attack.

With fifty people against five, the advantage is in my hands!

This was Yan Ri's first thought.

what? !

Are there two more top-tier experts?

how can that be!

This was Yan Ri's second thought.

Jing Ni's breakthrough to the Grandmaster level, and even her leap to the peak of the Grandmaster realm, was already surprising enough to him, but Li Wu and that little girl were also first-rate experts.

How could he not be alarmed?

When did experts become so worthless?

Not only was Yan Ri shocked, but Ya Fei was also shocked.

Apart from her, there are only three or four first-rate experts in the entire Iron Blood Alliance of the Zhao royal family.

Two people appeared beside Cao Yuan.

You should know that any master who can break through to the first-class level is a well-known figure in the martial arts world.

It is also a very important entity among the Hundred Schools of Thought.

In the Farmer's School, one can become a hall master; in the Mohist School, a leader; in the Yin-Yang School, an elder...

This demonstrates the status of top-tier martial arts masters.

Cao Yuan was unaware of Yan Ri and Ya Fei's shock; otherwise, he would have definitely exclaimed, "My lord, times have changed!"

But he has no time to think about these things right now.

Instead, she and Li Wu and Xiao Mengjiang continuously hunted down the assassins of the Luo Wang organization.

Fortunately, his strength had already reached the peak of the half-step Grandmaster realm, just a hair's breadth away from the Grandmaster realm.

Otherwise, the three of them might not have been able to handle so many assassins.

Keep in mind that there are more than a dozen Earth-level assassins inside who have reached the second-rate level.

Confucius said: "When the brush falls, it startles wind and rain; when the poem is finished, it moves ghosts and gods to tears."

Cao Yuan channeled his internal energy, unleashing the power of words.

The power of Confucian truths is boundless once spoken.

In the assassin's eyes, in a daze, the wind suddenly rose, the rain suddenly fell, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

This is a psychological attack.

Li Wu casually pulled out a bamboo flute from her waist and played it rapidly, coordinating with Cao Yuan to strengthen her mental control.

Having inherited some of Jing Ni's true skills, Xiao Meng Jiang's swordsmanship can be summed up in three words: fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Each flash of the sword took the life of an assassin.

In the short span of time it takes to drink a cup of tea, less than twenty of the forty-odd assassins were left, with five or six Earth-level assassins killed.

Yan Ri, who was being held back by Jing Ni, was getting a little impatient.

He was in charge of the Heavenly Killing and Earthly Destruction within the Net, primarily responsible for assassinations.

Lü Buwei was in charge of the demons and monsters within the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven), and was primarily responsible for intelligence gathering.

These were all elites in Zhao's net, assassins under his command, not spies under Lü Buwei's command.

Therefore, if they all die here, he will suffer heavy losses again.

How could he not be anxious and angry!

Unfortunately, there's no use in being anxious.

Left with no other choice, Yan Ri spoke up: "Jing Ni, if you are willing to give up, I can let bygones be bygones and not pursue your crime of defection. You will still be a top-ranking member of the Luo Wang!"

Now, not only Cao Yuan, but even Xiao Mengjiang looked at Yan Ri with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

Jing Ni remained silent, her cold face filled with murderous intent and determination.

Like Li Wu, she had long harbored the desire to escape the net of entrapment.

Previously, I just hadn't made up my mind and hadn't faced the same predicament as Li Wu.

Now that she has finally met Cao Yuan and has a chance to completely escape the net, how could she possibly follow Yan Ri's wishes and return to the net, becoming a puppet in a net with only goals and life and death?

The pressure on Yan Ri increased sharply, making it difficult for him to perfectly control Xuan Jian, gather most of his divine soul power back, and unleash the secret technique of Yan Ri Sword to attack Jing Ni.

At this moment, Xuan Jian, who was being restrained by Ya Fei, saw most of the emptiness in his eyes disappear, and his eyes became increasingly clear.

However, Ya Fei did not notice any of these anomalies.

While keeping Xuan Jian occupied, Consort Ya also kept an eye on the overall situation.

A moment later.

Dozens of assassins from the Luo Wang organization were killed or wounded in the fierce battle fought by Cao Yuan and Li Wu Xiao Meng Jiang.

However, apart from Cao Yuan who still had the strength to fight, Li Wu and Xiao Meng Jiang had almost exhausted their internal energy.

"Yanri, today is the day you die!"

Cao Yuan let out a cold shout, grabbed his greatsword, and charged forward.

From Qi to Yan, and from Yan to Zhao.

Traveling thousands of miles, they endured countless pursuits and assassinations by the Luo Wang organization.

He hasn't forgotten!

It's always been kept in the ledger.

Now that we've got the chance, how can we let it slip by!

Yan Ri said coldly, "You lowly commoner, you overestimate yourself!"

He admitted he had failed today.

But he didn't think he would die here.

With his peak Grandmaster strength, he is more than capable of protecting himself!

Unless Cao Yuan is a grandmaster.

But how could that be possible!

Confucius said: "Do not do anything that is contrary to propriety!"

Cao Yuan knew that he was unlikely to pose a threat to Yan Ri in his current state, so he chose to create an opportunity for Jing Ni.

What a strange ability... Yan Ri felt a resistance acting on him. Although it wasn't strong, it seemed particularly deadly at this moment.

"Shh!"

A pink sword beam flashed past, completely disrupting the rhythm of the sun-covering attack. The arm holding the sword was also injured by the sword energy, and blood flowed freely.
