Chapter 87

"No wonder Cheng Wuyong mistook her for a martial arts grandmaster in her late teens or early twenties, with such a spiritual body, she can no longer be measured by the standards of secular martial artists."

At the same time, Su Yi noticed that although the young man in the green robe had a powerful aura, he was merely at the early stage of the Qi Gathering Realm.

Of course, the power possessed by such a spiritual body was destined to far surpass the Qi Gathering Realm beings in this world!

The appearance of the young man in the green robe made the middle-aged scholar and others look much more serious.

But then, the woman who had previously attempted to assassinate the young man in the purple robe sneered and said, "Your Highness, did you think we didn't calculate the greatest threat by your side for this operation?"

As she spoke, her gaze suddenly turned to the crowd that had long since retreated to a distance, and she said, "Senior, please make your move!"

Everyone instinctively looked over.

The distant crowd was in a state of panic, scattering in all directions.

But only one man in a hemp robe did not move.

His temples were slightly gray, his skin dark, and he carried a four-foot-long cloth bag on his back, his appearance unremarkable.

When he noticed everyone's gaze, the man in the hemp robe frowned, sighed, and then took large steps toward them.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

With each step, the solid ground trembled, and his aura rose with each step.

In the eyes of the crowd, it seemed as if the man in the hemp robe had transformed into a mountain, moving horizontally, his aura majestic and heavy, making it hard for people to breathe.

"Grandmaster!"

Cheng Wuyong's face turned grim.

Just now, while they were dining here, they had not noticed that a martial arts grandmaster was among them!

No, Mr. Su had suggested leaving this place earlier, probably because he had already seen the trouble lurking on the ninth floor of the building.

He couldn't help but look at Su Yi.

But Su Yi's expression remained calm as ever.

At the same time, Cheng Wuyong heard Su Yi's voice in his ear: "If we can't avoid the trouble, just protect your young lady and Huang Ganjun."

Cheng Wuyong's heart was shaken, but he felt much more relaxed.

"Grandmaster!"

At this moment, Yuan Luoxi, Huang Ganjun, and the others finally reacted, their faces changing, their hands and feet turning cold.

Once one becomes a grandmaster, they are like a divine dragon in the sky!

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, only forces with grandmasters as their pillars can be called major clans!

And among the nineteen cities of Yunhe County, grandmasters are only a small number.

But now, a grandmaster had appeared on the ninth floor of this building, right in front of them.

"What a grand gesture!"

The young man in the purple robe's face also changed, his eyes filled with anger.

To send a grandmaster to assassinate him showed how vicious and ruthless the other party was!

"I knew it would be like this."

The young man in the green robe turned around, his eyes sharp like a blade, looking at the man in the hemp robe.

A look of disdain appeared on her beautiful face, "A grandmaster should be like the sun in the sky, upright and majestic, with an unyielding spirit. You, however, are timid and hide, only showing yourself now. Even with the cultivation of a grandmaster, you do not deserve the title."

Her words were full of dominance.

Everyone was moved.

The man in the hemp robe's expression was resolute, immovable like a rock, and he said indifferently, "A dragon can change in a thousand ways, capable of stirring the world or hiding in the smallest of places. Just like grandmasters in this world, each has their own style. Your judgment is like seeing the world through a single leaf."

The night was deep, and the atmosphere here became increasingly tense, like a storm about to break.

"Dragon? Ha, that's just the praise of secular martial artists. If you see yourself as a dragon, it's laughable."

The young man in the green robe did not hide her disdain, her beauty, and her strength.

She threw the wine jug in her hand, landing it steadily on a table, and then raised her slender, white fingers, brushing them over the green jade bracelet on her left wrist.

With a flash of firelight,

Clang! Clang!

Two sword chants echoed.

In her hands, she now held a pair of battle knives.

The blades were like crescent moons, the bodies of the knives flowing with a faint flame aura, as if she were holding two fiery moons.

The Crimson Moon Twin Knives!

"Such a night, cutting off a grandmaster's head to accompany the wine, is not bad."

In a lazy, magnetic voice, the young man in the green robe's robe fluttered, her graceful figure exuding a shocking aura.

The Crimson Moon Twin Knives in her hands hummed, clear and resonant.

Everyone's breath caught, feeling their skin prickle, their throats as if pressed by a sharp edge, making it hard to breathe.

Even experts like Cheng Wuyong and Zhang Duo, at the Qi Gathering Realm, felt a sudden pressure, their bodies tightening.

Suddenly, the young man in the green robe rushed forward, her hair flying.

Swish!

Due to her speed, her figure left a trail, and halfway through, the knives in her hands crossed and suddenly slashed out.

In that instant, it seemed as if a pair of crimson crescent moons cut through the night, the light blinding, falling to the earth with a surreal glow.

Crimson Rainbow!

A high-grade Earth-class secret technique, refined to perfection by the young man in the green robe, revealing its profound essence once used.

The man in the hemp robe's pupils narrowed, and he reached back.

The four-foot-long cloth bag on his back burst, and a four-foot-long black short halberd appeared in his hand.

Clang!!!

A sound that tore through the eardrums echoed, piercing metal and splitting stone.

The man in the hemp robe's figure retreated several steps before stabilizing, his blood surging, the black short halberd in his hand humming incessantly.

Looking at the young man in the green robe, she held the twin knives, her posture outstanding, her aura filling the world, especially her beautiful eyes, sharp and intimidating.

So strong!

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

A martial arts grandmaster was actually forced back by a single strike!

When she was not fighting, the young man in the green robe was stunningly beautiful, like a leading actress on a stage, full of charm and presence.

But once she fought, she was fierce and domineering, her aura like a rainbow, making many of the men present feel inferior and sigh in admiration.

"This sister is too amazing!"

Yuan Luoxi's eyes lit up, and she called out excitedly.

Clang!

The young man in the green robe did not stop her offensive. In battle, she exuded a killing aura, her twin crimson knives creating a sky full of fiery crescent moon shadows, each strike faster and more domineering than the last.

Not just fierce, but fiercely intense!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The dense sounds of the knives and the short halberd colliding echoed like drumbeats in the night, making people's blood surge and their eardrums hurt.

In the battlefield, the knife light was like fire, crisscrossing, and the young man in the green robe's figure was like a lightning bolt, surreal and sharp.

The man in the hemp robe was repeatedly forced back.

But he was also terrifying, steady as a mountain, immovable like a rock, enduring the storm of attacks without being truly injured.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he exhaled like thunder, "To have such combat power at the Qi Gathering Realm is indeed terrifying, but unfortunately, a grandmaster is not someone you can challenge!"

Boom!

He stomped his foot, his aura surging, and he swung the black short halberd in his hand.

In that instant, it was as if he was swinging a black thunderbolt!

Bang!

Their figures crossed, and the young man in the green robe's figure paused in mid-air, then flew backward.

She was actually knocked back by this strike!

The entire scene fell silent, not a sound.

Cheng Wuyong, Zhang Duo, and others all changed their expressions. This... this was the power of a grandmaster!

In contrast, the middle-aged scholar and his group all breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man in the green robe's attack was too strong, making them feel nervous and breathless.

Fortunately, the situation had now begun to reverse!

"Hmph, you seem to be nothing special. Time is precious, so I'll kill you now!"

The young man in the green robe's eyes burned with a fiery killing intent.

Her figure flashed.

She charged forward again with her knives.

However, a radiant mist appeared around her, bright like the morning sun, especially stunning in the night.

Her aura became ethereal, like water and clouds.

"The true essence of mist from her bloodline, this is the trump card that allows her to challenge a Furnace Cultivation Realm practitioner." Su Yi nodded, having expected this.

But, do the enemies have no other trump cards?

After all, this was an assassination attempt on a prince, and the other party's preparations were clearly long-term. Besides sending a martial arts grandmaster, they likely had other means.

Clang!

While Su Yi was thinking, the battle in the field erupted.

After using her innate power, the Mist True Essence, the young man in the green robe's strength clearly increased significantly. In the fight with the man in the hemp robe, she not only held her ground but also gained the upper hand.

This drew everyone's attention, making them tense and watchful.

In just a moment—

A trace of blood appeared at the corner of the man in the hemp robe's mouth.

This scene shocked everyone. A martial arts grandmaster was actually injured in the fight!

Unexpectedly, the man in the hemp robe showed no signs of anger or surprise, but instead sighed, "Well, since I agreed to participate in this operation, why should I spare my life?"

In a melancholy voice, his aura surged, like a vast ocean stirring up waves, a destructive aura spreading throughout the scene.

"A forbidden technique that sacrifices one's life as the cost?"

The young man in the green robe's eyebrows furrowed, her face showing concern. She attacked with all her might, her twin crimson knives like falling meteors from the sky.

Clang!!!

But this time, in the deafening collision, her slender and proud figure was forced to stagger backward, her face turning pale.

Her beautiful eyes showed disbelief.

The man in the hemp robe's body was like an endless flame burning, holding the black short halberd, filled with overwhelming killing intent, charging toward the young man in the green robe.

Like a god or demon!

Boom!

He swung the black short halberd, the edge of the blade like a thunderbolt splitting the sky.

The young man in the green robe gritted her teeth, not retreating, and clashed with him.

Bang!

Her figure was knocked back again, coughing up blood, her stunning and bright face turning deathly pale, her brows showing rare anger.

The young man in the purple robe and Yuan Luoxi were all chilled to the bone, their faces changing completely.

The middle-aged scholar and his group showed a murderous look, ready to move, planning to take advantage of the situation to capture the biggest prey of the night.

"You can match me with your life, it's worth it!"

In the battlefield, the man in the hemp robe spoke indifferently, attacking again.

Boom!

The black short halberd raised, bringing an endless surge of killing intent, slashing down.

The young man in the green robe had no choice but to face it.

This strike seemed simple but covered all directions, like a net from heaven and earth, leaving no place to hide, only to clash.

At this moment, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. She had underestimated the terror of a grandmaster...

Looking at my sincere and hardworking eyes, wouldn't it hurt your conscience not to vote for a monthly ticket?
