Chapter 85

　　The sun was high in the sky; it was already noon.

　　The autumn sun was still blazing, and the heat was intense, but the heat in Peach and Plum Mountain carried a strong, bloody stench.

　　The vegetation in the mountains was destroyed, sand and stones flew everywhere, and people kept falling to the ground amidst screams.

　　The two sides continued their fierce battle, neither willing to let the other go.

　　Feng Liyao and Wang Tianlong ignored the corpses and blood around them, their auras rising steadily as they prepared for the upcoming battle.

　　Under the sunlight, Wang Tianlong’s square face had several very obvious black moles, but this did not affect the aura of a powerful figure he exuded.

　　He laughed loudly, “Feng Liyao, even Hua Zhenbei can’t beat me, what can you do to me? Is your ‘Bright Moon Flying Phoenix’ perhaps better than Hua Zhenbei’s ‘Red Sun Shines Over the World’?”

　　Feng Liyao scoffed, “When it comes to self-aggrandizement, you are truly unmatched.”

　　Wang Tianlong laughed wildly, “Then I’ll prove to you whether my Wang family’s ‘Dragon God Skill’ deserves to be the best in the world!”

　　Having said that, in a flash, a golden dragon coiled around him, and with all his might, he pounced on Feng Liyao.

　　Feng Liyao was also activating the “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix” divine skill. A full moon flew out from her hand, rolling and moving with a powerful force, heading straight for Wang Tianlong.

　　The two most esteemed people in the world instantly clashed, fighting so fiercely that the sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, and no one dared to approach within dozens of feet.

　　On the other side, Yao Ye, Ye Taixuan, Hua Yushu, and others who were resisting Bai Xifeng’s sword moves were forced to retreat one after another. They were no match for Bai Xifeng at all. Under this series of defenses, the members of the White Crane Sect and the Iron Sword Sect had all died. Song Guang of the Golden Saber Sect also died on the spot. Lu Nianyi of the Xuan Yin Sect and Hua Zun of the Tai Hua Sect had their heads cut off by Bai Xifeng’s sword one after another. Only Chen Chijiao, the leader of the Beggars’ Sect, was still barely holding on, but he had also suffered multiple sword wounds.

　　At this moment, Fang Huaxian, Yu Youyang, and Ji Qiujun saw that the situation was not right and quickly flew over to help. The three top experts of the Kun Kingdom, together with Yao Ye, Ye Taixuan, Hua Yushu, Chen Chijiao, and others, barely managed to hold off Bai Xifeng.

　　Bai Xifeng brandished his White Rainbow Sword, unleashing a chilling white sword aura that stretched across the sky, several meters long, before falling towards the crowd. The crowd channeled their innate inner energy, working together to shatter the sword aura.

　　Even though Bai Xifeng’s true energy was greatly depleted at this moment, all of them combined could only defend themselves and had no power to fight back!

　　This demonstrates just how formidable a Celestial Realm expert is!

　　At this moment, Ye Hongyi was sitting on the ground spitting blood, holding the Golden Crow Blade. Seeing the opportunity, the Golden Armored Dragon Guards around him quickly approached him, intending to kill him and make a name for themselves.

　　At that moment, two beautiful figures flew over quickly and landed beside Ye Hongyi. Both were dressed in green gauze and holding long knives. They were Yao Youwei and Ye Ruiyun, mother and daughter.

　　Two top experts at the Innate Realm protected Ye Hongyi behind them, fought their way through, and slowly moved down the mountain.

　　At this time, Qi Fei was still fighting with the Thirteen Protectors under Emperor Gan. These eight people were indeed chosen by Emperor Gan. Each of them had the ability to stand alone. In terms of martial arts skills alone, none of them were inferior to Li Lingyun. One of the reasons why Li Lingyun was listed as one of the top ten masters in the martial arts world by Bai Xiaosheng was because of the Panlong Sword in his hand. Without the Panlong Sword, Li Lingyun’s martial arts skills were almost on par with these people.

　　Even with all eight experts combined, Qi Fei couldn’t defeat them. Fortunately, with the help of Feng Jianqing, Leng Shuxue, and Li Yuyao, they had gained the upper hand, and defeating them was only a matter of time.

　　Among these people, Li Yuyao’s martial arts skills were the worst. She had not yet broken through to the Innate Realm. Relying solely on the power she absorbed from Qi Fei, she could only use the “Panlong Sword Technique” of the Diancang School to defend herself. In fact, she was often regarded as Qi Fei’s weakness and was targeted specifically at him, forcing Qi Fei to spare his hands to protect her.

　　Li Yuyao also realized this, so she simply withdrew from the circle and attacked the Golden Armor Dragon Guards and Silver Armor Imperial Guards around her. Her martial arts skills were more than enough to deal with these ordinary experts in the palace.

　　Qi Fei faced off against the five opponents alone, Feng Jianqing blocked two of their top fighters, and Leng Shuxue took on one of them.

　　Although Qi Fei had the upper hand, it would take a lot of effort to defeat him unless he used the “Sun and Moon Divine Art”. However, if he did that, the consumption of true energy would be very high, which would be bad if he had to face other powerful enemies next.

　　”Young man, how did you cultivate your martial arts? Why did you suddenly become so powerful after you came out of the prison?”

　　Zuo Meihong flashed around Qi Fei, a ribbon swirling back and forth, striking his vital points.

　　Qi Fei’s swordsmanship was vigorous and powerful, yet also agile. Once the Panlong Sword moved, the five masters dared not confront him head-on.

　　Qi Fei said, “Little sister, you are so cute, why are you so vicious and always attack my groin?”

　　Zuo Meihong chuckled and said, “Who told you to expose your crotch like that? There was nothing I could do!”

　　Feng Jianqing used “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix” to force back the two masters who were besieging her, and took a moment to ask Zuo Meihong, “Little sister from the Phantom Sect, what’s your name?”

　　Zuo Meihong said sweetly, “My name is Zuo Meihong. You’re so beautiful, sister!”

　　Kazami Haru said, “You shouldn’t hang out with these scoundrels. They’re no good at all. You should join us, understand?”

　　Zuo Meihong shrugged and said, “I had no choice. My master ordered me to go down the mountain to assist Emperor Qian. What can I do? Besides, this young man has cut my ribbons many times. He is very hateful. I want to kill him—” As she spoke, she launched a fierce attack on Qi Fei.

　　Kazami Haru was very frustrated. She knew very well where the other person came from, but she also knew that even if she were told that the other person was her sister who came down from heaven, she would not believe it. Even if she did believe it, it would not change the fact that they were each serving their own masters and could only fight each other until one side won.

　　How can I make her believe that I came from heaven and am her sister? Sleeping with Qi Fei would be enough, but that’s not something you can do so easily; it’s harder than killing her!

　　Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, several graceful figures quickly swept towards them.

　　Qi Fei looked up and saw that it was Gu Yinzhang, Li Huiyu, and Shen Xiangxiang. Even Mei’er was coming over with a long sword.

　　The four beautiful mature women cleared a path with their longswords, cutting through thorns and brambles along the way, and killing the golden-armored dragon guards and silver-armored imperial guards who blocked their way.

　　Gu Yinzhang’s “Panlong Sword Technique” is full of sword energy, Li Huiyu’s “Lishou Sword” can kill enemies from several feet away, and Shen Xiangxiang’s “Dislocating Tendons and Bones Hand” makes enemies tremble with fear. Only Mei’er is slightly inferior. During this period, she learned the “Panlong Sword Technique” and “Danxia Sword Technique”. Her sword skills have improved a lot, but her internal strength cultivation is still not up to par. However, she has reached the level of a first-class master in the martial arts world.

　　The four beautiful mature women fought their way to Qi Fei, and Gu Yinzhang smiled at him and said, “My dear son, do you need any help?”

　　Qi Fei said, “Master’s wife, I’ve been waiting for you! Oh, and godmother, Sister Xiangxiang, Mei’er… come quickly and help me deal with these imperial henchmen!”

　　The four women smiled simultaneously, and without saying a word, they drew their swords and charged forward.

　　Gu Yinzhang swung his longsword at Zuo Meihong, Li Huiyu used her swordsmanship to entangle the ghost shadow, Shen Xiangxiang held back the Blood Asura, and Mei’er stood aside, ready to draw her sword to defend herself should any palace guards approach.

　　Among these eight bodyguards, the one with the highest martial arts skills was a middle-aged man carrying a bow and arrows. He was blind in one eye and carried a curved sword. He used an extremely exquisite sword technique with great killing power, and had almost injured Qi Fei several times.

　　This man was named Da Yi, the leader of the Thirteen Protectors. He was the leader of a mysterious sect from the grasslands beyond the Great Wall. He was second to none in both swordsmanship and archery, and was very famous in the Da Gan Imperial Palace.

　　He and another swordsman worked together to fight Qi Fei, their movements light and graceful, their advances and retreats measured and skillful.

　　Qi Fei knew very well that killing this person would be extremely difficult, and he had to find a breakthrough by targeting other people.

　　He glanced at the swordsman beside him. This man’s internal strength and swordsmanship were extremely high. It would be difficult for any expert at the Innate Realm to defeat him. However, Qi Fei saw many flaws in him. Killing him would not be difficult. The prerequisite was to first defeat Da Yi and isolate him.

　　Thinking of this, Qi Fei unleashed a series of sword moves from the “Eighteen Panlong Swords,” with dragon-shaped sword energies continuously flying out from the sword and shooting towards Da Yi.

　　Knowing the danger, Da Yi quickly retreated, skillfully deflecting the power of the sword energy, and then shattered it with his curved blade.

　　Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qi Fei suddenly flashed, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him, and quickly pounced on the swordsman!

　　The swordsman was terrified and quickly raised his sword to meet the attack.

　　Qi Fei didn’t use any fancy moves; he simply unleashed a plain and unadorned sword strike. With a “clang,” the sword in the opponent’s hand was instantly severed, and the tip of the sword fell to the ground.

　　The swordsman retreated repeatedly. At this moment, Qi Fei moved his left hand, and a red sun appeared in his palm. As soon as the red sun appeared, it quickly rolled towards the swordsman!

　　The swordsman was startled and knew something was wrong. He instinctively used all his inner energy, causing his robes to billow, and pushed forward with both palms, using all his strength to block one of Qi Fei’s moves from “Red Sun Shines Over the World”.

　　Upon impact, the swordsman’s palms shattered, bleeding profusely, but he also successfully destroyed the red sun. Before he could even rejoice, he saw a phantom of a three-legged golden crow fly out from the broken sun, let out a cry, and quickly pierce through his chest!

　　”Uh…” The swordsman looked down at the bloody gash on his chest, his eyes dimmed, and he collapsed helplessly.

　　At this moment, Da Yi had just neutralized Qi Fei’s sword attack when he saw that one of his companions had died, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

　　He knew he couldn’t defeat Qi Fei alone, so he quickly turned his attention to Feng Jianqing and attacked her.

　　Kazemi was already dealing with two top masters when Da Yi joined in, which greatly increased the pressure on her. Fortunately, after learning the Sun and Moon Divine Skill, her martial arts improved greatly. Although her skill was still not as good as Qi Fei’s, her strength was no less than that of the Nine Thousand Year Old Wei Dongxiang and the Demon Night Cult Leader. She was able to barely hold on when facing these three top masters at the same time.

　　Seeing this, Qi Fei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately rushed over to Leng Shuxue’s side.

　　Leng Shuxue was facing a scarred man who wielded a pair of double-edged swords, one in each hand, and his swordplay was continuous and relentless, attacking Leng Shuxue.

　　Leng Shuxue’s Shadowless Sword Technique was exquisite and unparalleled. Her continuous sword moves were evenly matched with her opponent’s, and it would take more than a thousand moves to determine a winner.

　　In a flash, Qi Fei lunged at the scarred man without saying a word.

　　The scarred man was startled and retreated while fighting back, splitting off one of his two swords and thrusting it at Qi Fei and Leng Shuxue respectively.

　　However, while his strength was enough to deal with Leng Shuxue, it was far from sufficient against Qi Fei.

　　Qi Fei swung his Panlong Sword, cleaving the sword in two, and then kicked him in the chest.

　　The scarred man hurriedly used the longsword in his other hand to stab Qi Fei’s foot. The sword collided with the toe, and he felt that the other man’s foot was as hard as a rock. A huge force surged from it, causing the longsword to slip from his hand and his tiger’s mouth to crack!

　　Terrified, he instinctively tried to escape. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest. Looking up, he saw that Leng Shuxue’s long sword had pierced his body, going straight from his chest skin to his heart!

　　With a “plop,” Leng Shuxue drew her longsword, and a spurt of blood shot out from the other person’s chest.

　　Seeing that the other party was dead, Qi Fei did not hesitate and flew towards Feng Jianqing.

　　After Leng Shuxue made her move, she took a short break to catch her breath and then rushed towards Feng Jianqing to help her deal with the three great masters, including Da Yi, together with Qi Fei.

　　Qi Fei adopted a strategy of exploiting weaknesses, eliminating these experts one by one. He killed two of them in succession, leaving the enemy with two fewer opponents and putting them at a complete disadvantage.

　　With the combined efforts of Da Yi and the other two masters, they had exchanged dozens of blows with Feng Jianqing and had initially gained the upper hand. However, with the arrival of Qi Fei and Leng Shuxue, their numerical advantage was immediately lost.

　　Qi Fei gripped the Panlong Sword and unleashed his sword energy, enveloping one of the men. The man was no match for him and tried to retreat, but Qi Fei had already pounced forward and punched him in the chest. With a violent tremor, the man’s entire chest caved in, and he screamed in agony as he collapsed to the ground three zhang away, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying instantly.

　　Da Yi was horrified and quickly retreated.

　　He knew that if he didn’t leave now, he would never have another chance to leave.

　　At this moment, only one of the three masters remained, an old man. Although he also wanted to run, his lightness skill was not as good as Da Yi’s, and Feng Jianqing intercepted him first. With the cooperation of Qi Fei and Leng Shuxue’s double swords, several holes were pierced in his body, and he died instantly.

　　Of the thirteen bodyguards under Emperor Gan, besides Da Yi, there are three others: Xue Xiuluo, Gui Yingzi, and Zuo Meihong.

　　Hearing the screams coming from this direction, the three immediately sensed something was wrong and tried to flee. However, apart from Ghost Shadow, whose lightness skill was so exceptional that ordinary experts couldn’t catch up, the others had no chance of escaping.

　　Shen Xiangxiang entangled Xue Xiuluo, but was then surrounded by Feng Jianqing and Leng Shuxue who arrived at the scene. With the combined efforts of the three women, they killed the cruel and bloodthirsty red-haired man in just a few moves.

　　Not far away, Li Huiyu and Gu Yinzhang joined forces to deal with Zuo Meihong. Zuo Meihong was no match for their combined strength and was already overwhelmed and powerless, only wanting to escape.

　　However, Qi Fei landed to the side to hold the line, his Panlong Sword pointing directly at her. If she dared to run, Qi Fei would not hesitate to strike.

　　Zuo Meihong pleaded pitifully, “Big sisters, how can you bear to kill me?”

　　Seeing her pretty and lovely appearance, Gu Yinzhang’s heart softened, and he slowed down his sword strikes, saying, “Little girl, if you are willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light, I can decide to let you go.”

　　Zuo Meihong pouted and said, “I don’t know what light is or what darkness is. I’m just following my master’s orders.”

　　Gu Yinzhang said, “I see that your fighting style seems to be from the Phantom Sect. Are you a disciple of Granny Honglian?” “Yes, yes,” Zuo Meihong nodded hurriedly.

　　Gu Yinzhang sighed, “Grandma Honglian is both righteous and wicked. Although she is not a righteous person, she is not a great villain either. It is truly a pity that she actually helped the wicked and worked for the emperor!”

　　Zuo Meihong blinked and said, “Even the whole world belongs to Emperor Gan, what’s wrong with helping Emperor Gan?”

　　At this moment, Shen Xiangxiang, Feng Jianqing, and Leng Shuxue sheathed their swords and came over. The group surrounded Zuo Meihong, who had no way to escape.

　　Shen Xiangxiang sneered and said, “The world belongs to all the people, not to any one person. Little girl, you’ve been fooled! The Emperor is just an ordinary mortal. He’s done countless bad things. Do you want me to list them all for you?”

　　The ribbon in Zuo Meihong’s hand was quickly shredded by Gu Yinzhang and Li Huiyu, and two long swords were placed against her neck at the same time.

　　Zuo Meihong stopped, her hands hanging down, and said pitifully, “But I don’t know any of this, sob sob… You’re bullying me…” As she spoke, she began to sob.

　　The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

　　At this moment, Li Yuyao and Mei’er had already defeated several palace guards around them. Seeing that the battle here was over, they sheathed their swords and came over together.

　　Li Yuyao said, “Forget it, let’s let her off this time. This young lady also let me off the hook last time in Fengzhou City.”

　　Gu Yinzhang removed the longsword from her neck and asked, “What’s your name?”

　　Zuo Meihong said, “My surname is Zuo and my given name is Meihong. Big sister, you are so beautiful!”

　　Gu Yinzhang smiled upon hearing this and said, “I’ll let you off this time, but you must never work for the Da Gan court again.”

　　”Mmm, mmm! Thank you, big sister!” Zuo Meihong giggled, revealing two small dimples on her face, looking very cute.

　　She leaped away and quickly disappeared.

　　Just as Kazami Haru was about to call out to her, she had already disappeared.

　　Kazami Haru really wanted to keep her here, but he couldn’t think of a good way to subdue her, and the key was that it was difficult to change her mind.

　　She knew very well that although this person readily agreed, he would most likely return to the Da Gan court.

　　Of the thirteen bodyguards under Emperor Gan, only Da Yi, Gui Yingzi, and Zuo Meihong remained. The other ten had died one after another at the hands of Qi Fei and others, and the group had essentially collapsed, no longer posing a threat.

　　Although Qi Fei and his group won their battle against the Thirteen Protectors, the battle on the scene continued. The disciples of Aojian Manor, along with the Golden Armor Dragon Guards and Silver Armor Imperial Guards, still outnumbered the others and were impossible to kill. More than two thousand people had died, but nearly two thousand remained.

　　As for the people from Red Leaf Manor, including those martial arts heroes, more than a thousand people have been killed or wounded, leaving less than two hundred people. Most of them are from Kun Kingdom. The disciples of Red Leaf Manor and those martial arts heroes are basically all dead.

　　Although the number of disciples sent by the three major sects of Kun Kingdom this time was small, they were basically all top-notch experts, each capable of handling matters independently, resulting in the fewest casualties.

　　Once Qi Fei and the women had recovered their inner energy, they drew their swords again and charged at the court officials. Everyone’s martial arts skills had greatly improved, and they dealt with the golden-armored dragon guards and silver-armored

The sun was high in the sky; it was already noon.

The autumn sun was still blazing, and the heat was intense, but the heat in Peach and Plum Mountain carried a strong, bloody stench.

The vegetation in the mountains was destroyed, sand and stones flew everywhere, and people kept falling to the ground amidst screams.

The two sides continued their fierce battle, neither willing to let the other go.

Feng Liyao and Wang Tianlong ignored the corpses and blood around them, their auras rising steadily as they prepared for the upcoming battle.

Under the sunlight, Wang Tianlong’s square face had several very obvious black moles, but this did not affect the aura of a powerful figure he exuded.

He laughed loudly, “Feng Liyao, even Hua Zhenbei can’t beat me, what can you do to me? Is your ‘Bright Moon Flying Phoenix’ perhaps better than Hua Zhenbei’s ‘Red Sun Shines Over the World’?”

Feng Liyao scoffed, “When it comes to self-aggrandizement, you are truly unmatched.”

Wang Tianlong laughed wildly, “Then I’ll prove to you whether my Wang family’s ‘Dragon God Skill’ deserves to be the best in the world!”

Having said that, in a flash, a golden dragon coiled around him, and with all his might, he pounced on Feng Liyao.

Feng Liyao was also activating the “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix” divine skill. A full moon flew out from her hand, rolling and moving with a powerful force, heading straight for Wang Tianlong.

The two most esteemed people in the world instantly clashed, fighting so fiercely that the sky darkened, the sun and moon lost their light, and no one dared to approach within dozens of feet.

On the other side, Yao Ye, Ye Taixuan, Hua Yushu, and others who were resisting Bai Xifeng’s sword moves were forced to retreat one after another. They were no match for Bai Xifeng at all. Under this series of defenses, the members of the White Crane Sect and the Iron Sword Sect had all died. Song Guang of the Golden Saber Sect also died on the spot. Lu Nianyi of the Xuan Yin Sect and Hua Zun of the Tai Hua Sect had their heads cut off by Bai Xifeng’s sword one after another. Only Chen Chijiao, the leader of the Beggars’ Sect, was still barely holding on, but he had also suffered multiple sword wounds.

At this moment, Fang Huaxian, Yu Youyang, and Ji Qiujun saw that the situation was not right and quickly flew over to help. The three top experts of the Kun Kingdom, together with Yao Ye, Ye Taixuan, Hua Yushu, Chen Chijiao, and others, barely managed to hold off Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng brandished his White Rainbow Sword, unleashing a chilling white sword aura that stretched across the sky, several meters long, before falling towards the crowd. The crowd channeled their innate inner energy, working together to shatter the sword aura.

Even though Bai Xifeng’s true energy was greatly depleted at this moment, all of them combined could only defend themselves and had no power to fight back!

This demonstrates just how formidable a Celestial Realm expert is!

At this moment, Ye Hongyi was sitting on the ground spitting blood, holding the Golden Crow Blade. Seeing the opportunity, the Golden Armored Dragon Guards around him quickly approached him, intending to kill him and make a name for themselves.

At that moment, two beautiful figures flew over quickly and landed beside Ye Hongyi. Both were dressed in green gauze and holding long knives. They were Yao Youwei and Ye Ruiyun, mother and daughter.

Two top experts at the Innate Realm protected Ye Hongyi behind them, fought their way through, and slowly moved down the mountain.

At this time, Qi Fei was still fighting with the Thirteen Protectors under Emperor Gan. These eight people were indeed chosen by Emperor Gan. Each of them had the ability to stand alone. In terms of martial arts skills alone, none of them were inferior to Li Lingyun. One of the reasons why Li Lingyun was listed as one of the top ten masters in the martial arts world by Bai Xiaosheng was because of the Panlong Sword in his hand. Without the Panlong Sword, Li Lingyun’s martial arts skills were almost on par with these people.

Even with all eight experts combined, Qi Fei couldn’t defeat them. Fortunately, with the help of Feng Jianqing, Leng Shuxue, and Li Yuyao, they had gained the upper hand, and defeating them was only a matter of time.

Among these people, Li Yuyao’s martial arts skills were the worst. She had not yet broken through to the Innate Realm. Relying solely on the power she absorbed from Qi Fei, she could only use the “Panlong Sword Technique” of the Diancang School to defend herself. In fact, she was often regarded as Qi Fei’s weakness and was targeted specifically at him, forcing Qi Fei to spare his hands to protect her.

Li Yuyao also realized this, so she simply withdrew from the circle and attacked the Golden Armor Dragon Guards and Silver Armor Imperial Guards around her. Her martial arts skills were more than enough to deal with these ordinary experts in the palace.

Qi Fei faced off against the five opponents alone, Feng Jianqing blocked two of their top fighters, and Leng Shuxue took on one of them.

Although Qi Fei had the upper hand, it would take a lot of effort to defeat him unless he used the “Sun and Moon Divine Art”. However, if he did that, the consumption of true energy would be very high, which would be bad if he had to face other powerful enemies next.

“Young man, how did you cultivate your martial arts? Why did you suddenly become so powerful after you came out of the prison?”

Zuo Meihong flashed around Qi Fei, a ribbon swirling back and forth, striking his vital points.

Qi Fei’s swordsmanship was vigorous and powerful, yet also agile. Once the Panlong Sword moved, the five masters dared not confront him head-on.

Qi Fei said, “Little sister, you are so cute, why are you so vicious and always attack my groin?”

Zuo Meihong chuckled and said, “Who told you to expose your crotch like that? There was nothing I could do!”

Feng Jianqing used “Bright Moon Flying Phoenix” to force back the two masters who were besieging her, and took a moment to ask Zuo Meihong, “Little sister from the Phantom Sect, what’s your name?”

Zuo Meihong said sweetly, “My name is Zuo Meihong. You’re so beautiful, sister!”

Kazami Haru said, “You shouldn’t hang out with these scoundrels. They’re no good at all. You should join us, understand?”

Zuo Meihong shrugged and said, “I had no choice. My master ordered me to go down the mountain to assist Emperor Qian. What can I do? Besides, this young man has cut my ribbons many times. He is very hateful. I want to kill him—” As she spoke, she launched a fierce attack on Qi Fei.

Kazami Haru was very frustrated. She knew very well where the other person came from, but she also knew that even if she were told that the other person was her sister who came down from heaven, she would not believe it. Even if she did believe it, it would not change the fact that they were each serving their own masters and could only fight each other until one side won.

How can I make her believe that I came from heaven and am her sister? Sleeping with Qi Fei would be enough, but that’s not something you can do so easily; it’s harder than killing her!

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, several graceful figures quickly swept towards them.

Qi Fei looked up and saw that it was Gu Yinzhang, Li Huiyu, and Shen Xiangxiang. Even Mei’er was coming over with a long sword.

The four beautiful mature women cleared a path with their longswords, cutting through thorns and brambles along the way, and killing the golden-armored dragon guards and silver-armored imperial guards who blocked their way.

Gu Yinzhang’s “Panlong Sword Technique” is full of sword energy, Li Huiyu’s “Lishou Sword” can kill enemies from several feet away, and Shen Xiangxiang’s “Dislocating Tendons and Bones Hand” makes enemies tremble with fear. Only Mei’er is slightly inferior. During this period, she learned the “Panlong Sword Technique” and “Danxia Sword Technique”. Her sword skills have improved a lot, but her internal strength cultivation is still not up to par. However, she has reached the level of a first-class master in the martial arts world.

The four beautiful mature women fought their way to Qi Fei, and Gu Yinzhang smiled at him and said, “My dear son, do you need any help?”

Qi Fei said, “Master’s wife, I’ve been waiting for you! Oh, and godmother, Sister Xiangxiang, Mei’er… come quickly and help me deal with these imperial henchmen!”

The four women smiled simultaneously, and without saying a word, they drew their swords and charged forward.

Gu Yinzhang swung his longsword at Zuo Meihong, Li Huiyu used her swordsmanship to entangle the ghost shadow, Shen Xiangxiang held back the Blood Asura, and Mei’er stood aside, ready to draw her sword to defend herself should any palace guards approach.

Among these eight bodyguards, the one with the highest martial arts skills was a middle-aged man carrying a bow and arrows. He was blind in one eye and carried a curved sword. He used an extremely exquisite sword technique with great killing power, and had almost injured Qi Fei several times.

This man was named Da Yi, the leader of the Thirteen Protectors. He was the leader of a mysterious sect from the grasslands beyond the Great Wall. He was second to none in both swordsmanship and archery, and was very famous in the Da Gan Imperial Palace.

He and another swordsman worked together to fight Qi Fei, their movements light and graceful, their advances and retreats measured and skillful.

Qi Fei knew very well that killing this person would be extremely difficult, and he had to find a breakthrough by targeting other people.

He glanced at the swordsman beside him. This man’s internal strength and swordsmanship were extremely high. It would be difficult for any expert at the Innate Realm to defeat him. However, Qi Fei saw many flaws in him. Killing him would not be difficult. The prerequisite was to first defeat Da Yi and isolate him.

Thinking of this, Qi Fei unleashed a series of sword moves from the “Eighteen Panlong Swords,” with dragon-shaped sword energies continuously flying out from the sword and shooting towards Da Yi.

Knowing the danger, Da Yi quickly retreated, skillfully deflecting the power of the sword energy, and then shattered it with his curved blade.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qi Fei suddenly flashed, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him, and quickly pounced on the swordsman!

The swordsman was terrified and quickly raised his sword to meet the attack.

Qi Fei didn’t use any fancy moves; he simply unleashed a plain and unadorned sword strike. With a “clang,” the sword in the opponent’s hand was instantly severed, and the tip of the sword fell to the ground.

The swordsman retreated repeatedly. At this moment, Qi Fei moved his left hand, and a red sun appeared in his palm. As soon as the red sun appeared, it quickly rolled towards the swordsman!

The swordsman was startled and knew something was wrong. He instinctively used all his inner energy, causing his robes to billow, and pushed forward with both palms, using all his strength to block one of Qi Fei’s moves from “Red Sun Shines Over the World”.

Upon impact, the swordsman’s palms shattered, bleeding profusely, but he also successfully destroyed the red sun. Before he could even rejoice, he saw a phantom of a three-legged golden crow fly out from the broken sun, let out a cry, and quickly pierce through his chest!

“Uh…” The swordsman looked down at the bloody gash on his chest, his eyes dimmed, and he collapsed helplessly.

At this moment, Da Yi had just neutralized Qi Fei’s sword attack when he saw that one of his companions had died, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

He knew he couldn’t defeat Qi Fei alone, so he quickly turned his attention to Feng Jianqing and attacked her.

Kazemi was already dealing with two top masters when Da Yi joined in, which greatly increased the pressure on her. Fortunately, after learning the Sun and Moon Divine Skill, her martial arts improved greatly. Although her skill was still not as good as Qi Fei’s, her strength was no less than that of the Nine Thousand Year Old Wei Dongxiang and the Demon Night Cult Leader. She was able to barely hold on when facing these three top masters at the same time.

Seeing this, Qi Fei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately rushed over to Leng Shuxue’s side.

Leng Shuxue was facing a scarred man who wielded a pair of double-edged swords, one in each hand, and his swordplay was continuous and relentless, attacking Leng Shuxue.

Leng Shuxue’s Shadowless Sword Technique was exquisite and unparalleled. Her continuous sword moves were evenly matched with her opponent’s, and it would take more than a thousand moves to determine a winner.

In a flash, Qi Fei lunged at the scarred man without saying a word.

The scarred man was startled and retreated while fighting back, splitting off one of his two swords and thrusting it at Qi Fei and Leng Shuxue respectively.

However, while his strength was enough to deal with Leng Shuxue, it was far from sufficient against Qi Fei.

Qi Fei swung his Panlong Sword, cleaving the sword in two, and then kicked him in the chest.

The scarred man hurriedly used the longsword in his other hand to stab Qi Fei’s foot. The sword collided with the toe, and he felt that the other man’s foot was as hard as a rock. A huge force surged from it, causing the longsword to slip from his hand and his tiger’s mouth to crack!

Terrified, he instinctively tried to escape. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest. Looking up, he saw that Leng Shuxue’s long sword had pierced his body, going straight from his chest skin to his heart!

With a “plop,” Leng Shuxue drew her longsword, and a spurt of blood shot out from the other person’s chest.

Seeing that the other party was dead, Qi Fei did not hesitate and flew towards Feng Jianqing.

After Leng Shuxue made her move, she took a short break to catch her breath and then rushed towards Feng Jianqing to help her deal with the three great masters, including Da Yi, together with Qi Fei.

Qi Fei adopted a strategy of exploiting weaknesses, eliminating these experts one by one. He killed two of them in succession, leaving the enemy with two fewer opponents and putting them at a complete disadvantage.

With the combined efforts of Da Yi and the other two masters, they had exchanged dozens of blows with Feng Jianqing and had initially gained the upper hand. However, with the arrival of Qi Fei and Leng Shuxue, their numerical advantage was immediately lost.

Qi Fei gripped the Panlong Sword and unleashed his sword energy, enveloping one of the men. The man was no match for him and tried to retreat, but Qi Fei had already pounced forward and punched him in the chest. With a violent tremor, the man’s entire chest caved in, and he screamed in agony as he collapsed to the ground three zhang away, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying instantly.

Da Yi was horrified and quickly retreated.

He knew that if he didn’t leave now, he would never have another chance to leave.

At this moment, only one of the three masters remained, an old man. Although he also wanted to run, his lightness skill was not as good as Da Yi’s, and Feng Jianqing intercepted him first. With the cooperation of Qi Fei and Leng Shuxue’s double swords, several holes were pierced in his body, and he died instantly.

Of the thirteen bodyguards under Emperor Gan, besides Da Yi, there are three others: Xue Xiuluo, Gui Yingzi, and Zuo Meihong.

Hearing the screams coming from this direction, the three immediately sensed something was wrong and tried to flee. However, apart from Ghost Shadow, whose lightness skill was so exceptional that ordinary experts couldn’t catch up, the others had no chance of escaping.

Shen Xiangxiang entangled Xue Xiuluo, but was then surrounded by Feng Jianqing and Leng Shuxue who arrived at the scene. With the combined efforts of the three women, they killed the cruel and bloodthirsty red-haired man in just a few moves.

Not far away, Li Huiyu and Gu Yinzhang joined forces to deal with Zuo Meihong. Zuo Meihong was no match for their combined strength and was already overwhelmed and powerless, only wanting to escape.

However, Qi Fei landed to the side to hold the line, his Panlong Sword pointing directly at her. If she dared to run, Qi Fei would not hesitate to strike.

Zuo Meihong pleaded pitifully, “Big sisters, how can you bear to kill me?”

Seeing her pretty and lovely appearance, Gu Yinzhang’s heart softened, and he slowed down his sword strikes, saying, “Little girl, if you are willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light, I can decide to let you go.”

Zuo Meihong pouted and said, “I don’t know what light is or what darkness is. I’m just following my master’s orders.”

Gu Yinzhang said, “I see that your fighting style seems to be from the Phantom Sect. Are you a disciple of Granny Honglian?” “Yes, yes,” Zuo Meihong nodded hurriedly.

Gu Yinzhang sighed, “Grandma Honglian is both righteous and wicked. Although she is not a righteous person, she is not a great villain either. It is truly a pity that she actually helped the wicked and worked for the emperor!”

Zuo Meihong blinked and said, “Even the whole world belongs to Emperor Gan, what’s wrong with helping Emperor Gan?”

At this moment, Shen Xiangxiang, Feng Jianqing, and Leng Shuxue sheathed their swords and came over. The group surrounded Zuo Meihong, who had no way to escape.

Shen Xiangxiang sneered and said, “The world belongs to all the people, not to any one person. Little girl, you’ve been fooled! The Emperor is just an ordinary mortal. He’s done countless bad things. Do you want me to list them all for you?”

The ribbon in Zuo Meihong’s hand was quickly shredded by Gu Yinzhang and Li Huiyu, and two long swords were placed against her neck at the same time.

Zuo Meihong stopped, her hands hanging down, and said pitifully, “But I don’t know any of this, sob sob… You’re bullying me…” As she spoke, she began to sob.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

At this moment, Li Yuyao and Mei’er had already defeated several palace guards around them. Seeing that the battle here was over, they sheathed their swords and came over together.

Li Yuyao said, “Forget it, let’s let her off this time. This young lady also let me off the hook last time in Fengzhou City.”

Gu Yinzhang removed the longsword from her neck and asked, “What’s your name?”

Zuo Meihong said, “My surname is Zuo and my given name is Meihong. Big sister, you are so beautiful!”

Gu Yinzhang smiled upon hearing this and said, “I’ll let you off this time, but you must never work for the Da Gan court again.”

“Mmm, mmm! Thank you, big sister!” Zuo Meihong giggled, revealing two small dimples on her face, looking very cute.

She leaped away and quickly disappeared.

Just as Kazami Haru was about to call out to her, she had already disappeared.

Kazami Haru really wanted to keep her here, but he couldn’t think of a good way to subdue her, and the key was that it was difficult to change her mind.

She knew very well that although this person readily agreed, he would most likely return to the Da Gan court.

Of the thirteen bodyguards under Emperor Gan, only Da Yi, Gui Yingzi, and Zuo Meihong remained. The other ten had died one after another at the hands of Qi Fei and others, and the group had essentially collapsed, no longer posing a threat.

Although Qi Fei and his group won their battle against the Thirteen Protectors, the battle on the scene continued. The disciples of Aojian Manor, along with the Golden Armor Dragon Guards and Silver Armor Imperial Guards, still outnumbered the others and were impossible to kill. More than two thousand people had died, but nearly two thousand remained.

As for the people from Red Leaf Manor, including those martial arts heroes, more than a thousand people have been killed or wounded, leaving less than two hundred people. Most of them are from Kun Kingdom. The disciples of Red Leaf Manor and those martial arts heroes are basically all dead.

Although the number of disciples sent by the three major sects of Kun Kingdom this time was small, they were basically all top-notch experts, each capable of handling matters independently, resulting in the fewest casualties.

Once Qi Fei and the women had recovered their inner energy, they drew their swords again and charged at the court officials. Everyone’s martial arts skills had greatly improved, and they dealt with the golden-armored dragon guards and silver-armored imperial guards in the palace with ease, almost taking them down with a single sword strike.
