Chapter 69

"Exactly! If you offend me, you won't even find it easy to die!" Lai Yugua felt this line was very powerful and repeated it without hesitation.

A cold sensation spread from the right side of his neck, slightly stinging, and something seemed to be flowing out, warm and sticky. He smelled a metallic scent.

Lai Yugua cried out, "Ah, it hurts!"

"Ah, you actually dare to..." Yun Er suddenly jumped up, reaching for his weapon at his waist.

"Don't move!" Suddenly, the pressure around his waist loosened, and a sharp green light flashed silently before his eyes. Xi Zhilan easily cut through Yun Er's belt and took away his sword, still in its sheath.

Yun Er's body stiffened immediately.

What kind of lightness skill is this? He didn't feel a thing, and his sword was gone.

"You're the same, no shouting!" A fierce pressure on his shoulder made Lai Yugua's body go limp, and he knelt on the ground.

Xi Zhilan reached out and took the sheepskin bag, gold bracelet, and jade pendant from Lai Yugua's hand. She then said to Sima Yin, "Brother Sima, take out everything in his pocket for me. They are all what he lost to Brother Qin Yu. Thanks for your help!"

Sima Yin was delighted to be called "Brother Sima." He also hated Lai Yugua's shameless behavior and immediately nodded, searching Lai Yugua from head to toe. He took out all the gold and jewels, long and short swords, and other miscellaneous items.

Xi Zhilan casually tossed the sheepskin bag to him, "There's plenty of space in here, put them in."

Sima Yin responded and stuffed all the items into the bag, then returned it to Xi Zhilan.

Xi Zhilan put away the treasure bag and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Sima!"

Qin Yu shook his head. Xi Zhilan was really ruthless in using young boys, getting them to do her bidding with just a few words. However, Sima Yin didn't take any advantage, showing remarkable character, worthy of being a disciple of a famous scholar from the Central Plains.

Turning to look at the battle on both sides, Qin Yu's expression turned grim.

Zhao Song was just trying to keep Zhang Jin from interfering, so although his words were harsh, he wasn't overly oppressive. Zhang Jin was already hesitant, possibly waiting to see which side would prevail, so both sides were in a cold standoff.

On the main battlefield, the fight was intense and evenly matched.

Huang Zhong, Shi Huang, and Xu Deng, all experienced fighters, quickly overcame their initial awkwardness and formed a默契: Shi Huang took the lead in attacking, Huang Zhong focused on defense, and Xu Deng continued to provide support.

Each of the three occupied a position, forming a complete triangular attack and defense system. Shi Huang's whip techniques gradually unfolded, powerful and fierce, not inferior to any strong opponent, earning the admiration of Huang Zhong and Xu Deng. Huang Zhong was fully focused, using the Divine Turtle Tail technique to the fullest, neither advancing recklessly nor retreating, entangling most of Lai De's iron sword attacks, preventing him from attacking Shi Huang and Xu Deng. Xu Deng hadn't fired a single arrow yet, but sweat streamed down his back, indicating he was also exerting himself to the limit.

"Why hasn't Xu Deng sent a distress signal yet?" This thought crossed Qin Yu's mind, but he didn't dwell on it, instead thinking about how to help the old men.

Helping others is helping oneself!

Lai De's expression was calm as he swung his iron sword with all his might. His sword was already covered in scars from countless clashes with Huang Zhong and Shi Huang's weapons.

This sword is almost done for!

Huang Zhong and Shi Huang both realized this.

Even Qin Yu could see it.

However, Lai De's iron sword and left palm moved with clear and fluid movements, as if nothing had changed.

His calm expression made Qin Yu feel uneasy.

He was very anxious.

The opponent is at the Transformation Realm! Prolonging the fight would be disadvantageous.

The current situation seemed balanced, but once Lai De adapted to the fighting style of a Transformation Realm master, the situation could quickly turn against them.

No matter how strong Shi Huang and the others were, they were still one realm below.

Qin Yu suddenly remembered a story he had heard before and hurriedly transmitted his voice, "Old man, don't break his sword!"

Shi Huang was taken aback.

Unfortunately, Qin Yu's voice transmission technique was still at the beginner level, and he could only say this much before his energy was depleted, leaving him unable to speak another complete sentence.

But this one sentence was enough. Successfully using the voice transmission technique marked a significant step forward for Qin Yu towards becoming a top-tier Hidden Realm practitioner.

Shi Huang thought for a moment and suddenly understood, quickly transmitting his voice to Huang Zhong, "Brother Hansheng, don't cut his iron sword!"

Huang Zhong was also taken aback but soon realized the wisdom in this.

Indeed, using such ordinary iron, no matter how strong Lai De was, there was a limit. The quality of the iron sword was a significant constraint, and everyone knew this. If his sword broke and he lost this limitation, he could unleash the unique abilities of the Transformation Realm, and even unarmed, he might be too much for the three of them to handle.

Huang Zhong inwardly praised, "Shi Huang is indeed cunning!"

Shi Huang, as if reading his thoughts, immediately said, "Qin Yu told me."

Huang Zhong was surprised, "Really?"

Both of them remained calm, but they adjusted their tactics. Huang Zhong carefully avoided using his blade to strike Lai De's iron sword, while Shi Huang focused on attacking Lai De's arm, hoping to leave some marks on his body.

Lai De breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "It seems these people's endurance is limited. Their fierce attacks have failed, and they are running out of strength."

His energy was still sufficient to fight for another hour or so. Initially, feeling pressured, he had wanted to try his Crane Control technique, a long-range attack he had never mastered in the past twenty years. He remembered the technique, but after reaching the Transformation Realm and waking up, he hadn't had the chance to test it.

However, he was worried that if he failed to control Shi Huang's ochre whip, he might be hit by Xu Deng's arrow, which was clearly poisonous. He wasn't sure if his protective divine power could withstand it.

The reason he had been holding back and making no progress was to avoid being hit by an arrow, even in the knee!

Now that he saw the light of victory, Lai De was even less willing to take risks. He slightly increased the force of his iron sword, consuming Huang Zhong and Shi Huang's internal energy.

Even three Hidden Realm practitioners together couldn't win against a Transformation Realm in a prolonged battle.

This isn't good. Prolonging the fight is disadvantageous for everyone, especially for me!

After making this judgment, Qin Yu had a clear direction for his next move.

I can't rely on Xu Deng anymore; I have to save myself!

In a critical moment, I have to take action myself.

Transformation Realm, so what? Master, what of it?

If you anger me, I'll still kill you!
