Chapter 209: Zi Nu and Cheng Jiao's respective battlefields
The Blood-Robed Marquis said slowly, "Ninth Young Master Han Fei."

Ji Wuye groaned for a moment and said, "Put the blame on Liusha and use Han Fei's life to silence the Qin State. This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone."

As for whether Qin would take the opportunity to blackmail Han, unless Qin or Lu Buwei wanted the news that Luo Wang killed the King of Qin to spread everywhere, they would wisely choose to withdraw after handing over Han Fei.

Thinking of this, Ji Wuye became even more wary of the Blood-Robed Marquis. The plan was made in such a short time, which made him feel uneasy.

Marquis Xueyi sensed that Xuan Jian had arrived, and a smile appeared on his lips. It was time to begin the hunting operation.

In Zi Lan Xuan, the solemn atmosphere had almost become a reality, and the pink and purple lights had long been extinguished.

In the dark attic, only Zi Nu, holding the red soft sword, was waiting alone.

Xuan Jian glanced at the Blood-Robed Marquis who appeared beside him.

"Is everything ready?"

After discovering that Cheng Jiao did not attempt to assassinate the king, but was instead protecting Ying Zheng in a vague manner, Xuan Jian realized that he could not wait any longer and decisively notified Ye Mu to launch a siege operation.

The Blood-Robed Marquis said politely, "The only top expert in Zi Lan Xuan right now is Zi Nu. Master Xuan Jian may begin now."

Xuan Jian couldn't help but look up to the Blood-Robed Marquis. He was able to disperse the main force of the Quicksand in a short period of time. He could be considered a talent.

After entering Zi Lan Xuan quietly, Xuan Jian did not follow the advice of Xue Yi Hou and attacked Zi Nu first.

His main task now is to kill Ying Zheng. As for Cheng Jiao, Lu Buwei has already told him not to worry about him.

Zi Nu smiled slightly, and even the darkness could not hide her charm and beauty.

The hunter finally couldn't hold back any longer and was about to come in and kill?

Before Xuan Jian had searched for long, a purple and enchanting figure, with arms folded across her chest, stood quietly at the railing, silently.

Xuan Jian stopped and asked carefully, "The mistress of Zi Lan Xuan?"

It seems to be asking, but in fact it has already been confirmed.

Zi Nu smiled and said, "Lord Xuan Jian, who is ranked as the top assassin in Luowang, sneaked into Zi Lan Xuan. It was really rude."

As she spoke, Zi Nu's red soft sword had already quietly stretched out and spread all around.

Xuan Jian clenched the black and white swords tightly. He didn't know much about Zi Nu, but just by looking at the fact that Ye Jingwei and Zi Nu joined forces to severely injure Lao Ai, who was only slightly weaker than him, he knew that Zi Nu's strength was not inferior to his.

Since he was blocked, Xuan Jian no longer hesitated. He waved his hand and broke the wooden window next to him. A ray of moonlight penetrated into Zi Lan Xuan, just reflected on Zi Nu's charming purple eyes.

A cold light flashed across Zi Nu's beautiful eyes, which looked even more extraordinary under the moonlight.

The sound of horse hooves outside Zi Lan Xuan made Zi Nu realize that Xuan Jian's casual sword strike was intended to notify the night.

Xuan Jian said unrulyly: "I advise Your Excellency Zi Nu, there is now the Blood Robe Marquis and his 300 personal guards in ice armor outside Zi Lan Xuan. As long as Your Excellency Zi Nu hands over the person hiding in Zi Lan Xuan, I can decide to let Zi Lan Xuan go."

Although he was proud, he was not a fool. Zi Nu's kung fu was not weak, and their goal was not to fight to the death. If the task could be completed without using weapons, he didn't want to waste any more effort.

The smile on Zi Nu's pretty face had disappeared, leaving only coldness. The red soft sword she was waving was like a giant eerie python, heading straight for Xuan Jian.

"Master Xuan Jian, please take a step back first!"

Retreat? Impossible! Lu Buwei had promised him that after completing this mission, he would be the next leader of Luowang.

In addition, he had already been exposed, and Ying Zheng probably knew that it was he who launched the assassination attempt. How could he retreat!

Xuan Jian held two swords in his hands and took the ruthless attack from Zi Nu. He took a few steps back in an instant, with a look of horror on his face.

He instantly judged that Zi Nu was not inferior to Jing Wei, and not inferior to himself, but stronger than him!
When Zi Nu wanted to continue attacking Xuan Jian, countless ice spears and powerful crossbow rockets shot out from the wooden window that Xuan Jian had just cut open with his white sword, covering this place indiscriminately, forcing Zi Nu to block and dodge.

Xuan Jian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were arrangements. Otherwise, he would not dare to stay here on his own, even if Zi Nu was alone.

Marquis Xueyi walked step by step to the corridor on the second floor and looked at the deflated Xuan Jian without making any ridicule.

Instead, he looked at Zi Nu solemnly. He already knew that Zi Nu was very strong, but he didn't know that Zi Nu was so strong that she could force back Xuan Jian, who was stronger than him, with just one sword.

This also made him more convinced that Cheng Jiao really mastered the secret of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon.

If Cheng Jiao had not solved the secret of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon, why did Cheng Jiao's strength change so much?

There was something that Xuan Jian didn't know, but he knew from Ye Mu's intelligence that the strength revealed by Zi Nu two months ago was only comparable to that of Mo Ya, the leader of the Hundred Birds. In a short period of time, Zi Nu's strength improved by leaps and bounds and became stronger than him. If it weren't for the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon, it would be difficult for him to understand.

"Master Xuan Jian, let's do it together!"

Xuan Jian did not refuse. As a killer, he would do anything to achieve his goal. How could he be fair like the people in the martial arts world, especially when facing Zi Nu who put a lot of pressure on him.

Faced with the joint efforts of Xue Yi Hou and Xuan Jian, Zi Nu remained calm.

Her mission was simple: to procrastinate.

If nothing unexpected happened, Cheng Jiao's brother would have already come out of the secret passage of Zilanxuan and reunited with Gai Nie Li Si.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Zi Nu's figures crossed each other, and the sky full of red sword shadows pressed towards Xuan Jian and Xue Yi Hou.

The Blood-Robed Marquis had a grim look on his face. Although Zi Nu was stronger than both him and Xuan Jian, he and Xuan Jian working together were enough to suppress Zi Nu. It was even possible to kill her over time.

The combination of top masters is enough to erase some of the gaps in strength.

Zi Nu was also aware of this, especially the powerful ice spears that shot into Zi Lan Xuan from time to time, which put her in danger many times under the attacks of Xue Yi Hou and Xuan Jian.

Zi Nu raised her eyebrows and shouted softly. After briefly repelling Xuan Jian and Xue Yi Hou, she jumped into the hall on the first floor in the blink of an eye.

She could see that the reason why the three hundred ice-armored guards of Marquis Xueyi outside could repeatedly and accurately cover her location was because Marquis Xueyi was using his Qi to guide her, and the fact that they were on the second floor leaning against the wooden window made them easy targets.

The flames in Zi Lan Xuan began to rise, and the blood-red eyes of the Blood-Robed Marquis became excited.

As long as he kills Zi Nu here, and then joins forces with Xuan Jian and three hundred ice-armored soldiers to kill the returning Jing Wei with the sword, leaving only Cheng Jiao alone, and tortures him to find out the secret of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon, he, the Blood-Robed Marquis, will surely become a celestial master of this era, and even his mother will never be able to control his fate again!
Compared to the crises facing Zi Nu, Wei Zhuang was killing people around the Qi Jue Tang base, constantly using his unparalleled skills.

Suddenly noticing the black smoke rising from the direction of Zi Lan Xuan, Wei Zhuang's eyes were sharp, knowing that Ye Mu and Luo Wang had taken action.

"Tang Qi, the remaining Hundred Bird Killers are now in your hands. Don't let any of them go!"

Tang Qi had a bandage on his left arm and blood in his mouth.

"Don't worry, Boss Wei. None of these brats will be able to escape tonight!"

Wei Zhuang said no more, and used his skills to disappear from Tang Qi's sight while twisting and turning.

Tang Qi looked at the Bird Killer who was fighting with his men and being hacked to pieces by Wei Zhuang, raised his bloodstained sword, and laughed cruelly: "Don't spare any of them!"

Tang Qi had been unhappy for a long time about Bainiao's several attacks on Qi Jue Tang. This time, Bainiao even sent a large number of assassins. If he had not asked Wei Zhuang for help in time and decisively, Qi Jue Tang and the Poison Scorpion Sect would probably have become history tonight.

Thinking of Wei Zhuang suddenly turning back in a hurry, Tang Qi's heart skipped a beat. Could this be Ye Mu's plan?

Looking at the faint firelight at Zi Lan Xuan, Tang Qi could only pray in his heart that the night would not prevail.

He has been completely tied to the quicksand. If the quicksand collapses, he will not be far from death, and his brothers who have been through thick and thin with him will also be doomed.

In the Xinzheng Palace, Madam Mingzhu lay in Cheng Jiao's arms like a little bird.

Being continuously moisturized by Cheng Jiao, she didn't have much strength to continue fighting with Cheng Jiao.

Cheng Jiao hugged Madam Mingzhu and teased her from time to time.

He still likes Mrs. Mingzhu more in this state. It turns out that some women can only communicate after doing it.

Madam Mingzhu said coquettishly, "Aren't you afraid that your lover will die in Zilanxuan? You should know that Bai Yifei attacked together with Luowang this time, and he even asked me to seduce you here on purpose."

Cheng Jiao curled his lips and patted Madam Mingzhu's plump and perky breasts: "Is your husband so bad that he can't even see through Ye Mu's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Although people in later generations have not studied these things much, because they have seen too much and the Internet has too much information, many things and strategies of this era seem too childish to people in later generations.

Our ancestors had experienced so many dangers and summed up so much experience that after Wei Zhuang was led away, Cheng Jiao had already figured out what Ye Mu was going to do next.

Madam Mingzhu twisted her body and said angrily, "Do you know what Bai Yifei wants me to do to you?"

Cheng Jiao was somewhat puzzled: "Didn't you ask the King of Han to catch me in adultery and lock me up in the palace?"

Madam Mingzhu put her fair arms around Cheng Jiao's neck, and her breath smelled like orchid. The fragrance was like burning fire, which suddenly ignited the small fire in Cheng Jiao's heart.

"It's not that simple. It was just a coincidence this time. Bai Yifei just asked me to hold you back so that the woman next to you wouldn't go back too early."

"That's it?"

Cheng Jiao was speechless. It seemed that he had overestimated the Blood-Robed Marquis. After all this time, it was just a coincidence.

I thought that the Bloody Marquis wanted to use the King of Han to take him down. Although it was not a brilliant move, it was much better than luring the tiger away from the mountain.

After being satisfied by Cheng Jiao, Madam Mingzhu no longer had any bad intentions. In fact, she did not really treat Cheng Jiao as a pure flesh-and-blood transaction.

As the saying goes, love grows over time.

Looking at Cheng Jiao's handsome face and young and strong body, her heart would sometimes beat like a little girl.

If Cheng Jiao hadn't always manipulated her and had affairs with a bunch of women, especially the beautiful lady Hu whom she disliked, she might have willingly followed Cheng Jiao. As for occasionally encouraging Cheng Jiao to destroy Korea and snatch her away from Korea, it was just a joke and flirting.

But now...

She thought it was better to keep a distance from Cheng Jiao. Unless Cheng Jiao really destroyed Korea, she would consider becoming his lover or concubine. She couldn't be like Lady Hu, who rushed to Cheng Jiao before she was controlled by him. It was really embarrassing for the harem!
Cheng Jiao was a little surprised that Madam Mingzhu's bond value suddenly jumped from seventy-three to eighty.

He casually picked up a piece of the torn red gauze curtain and placed it on Madam Mingzhu's smooth belly. "Do you want to control the night?"

Madam Mingzhu thought she had misheard, and her narrow, beautiful eyes showed confusion.

"Control the night?"

Cheng Jiao nodded. This idea just occurred to him. He found that it would be good if the night was controlled by Madam Mingzhu.

Madam Mingzhu rolled her eyes at Cheng Jiao and patted his chest with her jade hand: "My love, please stop making fun of me."

Pinching Madam Mingzhu's cheeks with one hand and looking at her charming phoenix eyes, Cheng Jiao whispered, "I'm not kidding. You are the tide witch of the night. You are very suitable to be the controller of the night."

Madam Mingzhu took away Cheng Jiao's hand that was pinching her pretty face, and complained to Cheng Jiao that he didn't know the seriousness of the matter, or maybe she felt sorry for her.

“How can I control it? Even if you kill Ji Wuye and Xueyi Hou, it will not be my turn. As long as the female marquis is still alive, she will not let me succeed. And…”

Madam Mingzhu said dimly, "If you really destroy Korea, what's the point of me controlling the night?"

Cheng Jiao stroked his chin and patted Madam Mingzhu's jade back. "What you said makes sense. I don't know if the female marquis has achieved the status of a celestial being. If she has, it will be a problem."

"Are you afraid?"

"How could I be afraid? If I'm really pushed to the limit, I'll just flatten the Snow Clothes Castle. All the good and bad people will be blasted into ashes!"

Cheng Jiao didn't care.

If the gods were really that mysterious, how could South Korea have ended up like this?
According to his estimation, Tianren is still a human being after all, and as a human being, he has his limits. He can fight a thousand with one, but never ten thousand. Especially since there are many top masters on his side, unless Tianren can kill one of them with one sword, once he is restrained, he will be surrounded and killed, and he will be killed even if he is piled up!

Madam Mingzhu also knew that it was not easy to kill the female marquis. If Cheng Jiao brought the elite troops of Qin and carried the war machine weapons made by Qin Gongshujia, it would still be possible.

Moreover, when she was young in Snow Castle, she vaguely felt that the female marquis seemed unable to leave Snow Castle, or rather, could not leave for too long.

Cheng Jiao looked at Madam Mingzhu, who had recovered a lot, and said with a smile: "Madam, the night is long, why not try it again~"

Madam Mingzhu twisted her body but did not refuse. Cheng Jiao was about to leave, and she was afraid that she would not have any fun for a long time and would have to return to the loneliness of the past.

The seductive voice slowly came out of Madam Mingzhu's sweet throat and mouth, emitting different frequency fluctuations as Cheng Jiao moved.

Sometimes ethereal, sometimes alluring, Cheng Jiao, who was behind Madam Mingzhu, couldn't stop.

While Cheng Jiao and Madam Mingzhu continued to have fun, Han Fei was a little drunk in the residence of the Fourth Young Master Han Yu.

Han Yu knew at a glance that Han Fei was pretending to be drunk. How could he not know what kind of person his ninth brother was? How could he be a drunkard who couldn't drink after only two or three bottles of wine?

"My ninth brother built the Quicksand. Father praised it many times in front of me. He also asked me to learn from you the courage to snatch food from the tiger's mouth in the night."

Han Fei looked at his fourth brother, who was smiling and very honest, and sighed inwardly.

He was scolded by his father because Qi Jue Tang fired a flare at the watchtower the night before. From the few words his father said, he knew it was his fourth brother who was behind it. On the surface, he was taking care of him and cleaning up the mess for him, but in fact, he was putting the blame on himself for this sensitive matter.

Setting off flares near the gate of the watchtower, tsk tsk, how can a king sleep soundly? If you don't know, you might think that the enemy has reached the outside of the city.

"Fourth brother, you are exaggerating. Your Iron Blood Alliance is the right-hand man of father. My Quicksand, as father said, is just a game. It is nothing..."

After Han Fei finished speaking, he simply pretended to be serious, lay down on the table, and began to count the time until he fell asleep.

Han Yu frowned. He was also very conflicted about his ninth brother, Han Fei.

Unlike the crown prince, he has no emotions at all, and even looks down on his eldest brother because he is too useless, so when he sees the opportunity, he kills without hesitation, without any ambiguity.

But Han Fei was different. He had watched Han Fei grow up. He was talented, free and easy, and had no interest in royal power. So before Han Fei went to school, he and Han Fei had a good relationship.

Unfortunately, things changed after Han Fei came back. Especially after the death of the crown prince, the change in his father's attitude towards Han Fei made him deeply worried.

Therefore, he took great pains to make Han Fei leave his father with the impression that he was a man with some talent but was not capable of taking on important tasks and was not qualified for the throne.

Now it seems that what he has done is indeed very effective. His father is very disappointed with Han Fei, but he is still worried.

After all, after the death of the crown prince, his father's first choice was not him, but Han Fei, and he even intended to make him a stepping stone for Han Fei to the throne. How could he not be angry?

But after tonight, he won't have to worry. With the promise of Marquis Xueyi and the full support of Ye Mu, as well as the royal power of the Iron Blood Alliance under his control, he will have the capital to resist even if his father is determined to let Han Fei take the throne.

If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to go to the step of killing his father and usurping the throne. The risk was too great and not worth it.

The second battle between Cheng Jiao and the tide banshee of the night was even more intense, which made Madam Mingzhu extremely happy with one wave of excitement after another.

Inside Zi Lan Xuan, the fire was growing bigger and bigger, and the place was filled with flashes of swords and sabers.

However, the Zi Lan Xuan that had just caught fire could not affect the battle between the three top masters.

Zi Nu frowned slightly, somewhat surprised why Xuan Jian was fighting so desperately, even at the cost of exchanging injuries for injuries, causing her to suffer serious internal injuries, her blood surging, and her breathing a little disordered.

With a light shout, he activated the hidden weapons in the Zi Lan Pavilion and temporarily repelled the Blood-Robed Marquis. He swung out the Red Snake Sword, forcing Xuan Jian to block it. He then moved frequently and wandered around the Zi Lan Pavilion relying on his familiarity with the area.

Xuan Jian wiped the blood from his mouth and shouted at the Bloody Marquis, "Hurry up, don't hold back, she won't hold on for much longer!"

The Blood-Clothed Marquis's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't want to fight to the death, but he couldn't hesitate any longer at this moment.

Looking at Zi Nu who was stopped by Xuan Jian again, the Blood-Cloaked Marquis' eyes became bloodshot and really turned into bloodshot.

He used the secret technique of burning blood, which could temporarily increase his strength, but the consequence was that he would be weak for a few days afterwards.

Although the consequences were minor, the price was not small. He had collected a lot of virgin blood and refined it into his body with great effort. It could not only enhance his skills, but also make his internal strength more powerful. Especially after using the secret technique, its power reached a higher level.

Although he was still not as good as Zi Nu at this moment, he was almost as good as Xuan Jian at this moment.

Zi Nu saw that the Blood-Clothed Marquis was filled with blood. After the Blood-Clothed Marquis joined the battle, the pressure increased sharply. She knew that the Blood-Clothed Marquis was also fighting desperately.

If it were just that, she would still have the confidence to fight with the Blood-Cloaked Marquis Xuan Jian for a while, but outside the Zi Lan Xuan, the hundreds of ice-armored soldiers kept targeting her, throwing ice spears condensed with ice internal force, making it difficult for her to defend effectively.

If she had not been strengthened by Cheng Jiao, she would still be the same as before. Zi Nu knew that she would die in a few rounds. She was not like now, still in danger but still had room to maneuver.

After repelling the siege of Xueyi Hou and Xuan Jian again, Zi Nu decisively chose to delay the attack with all her strength and no longer tried to kill Xuan Jian and Xueyi Hou.

Wei Zhuang, wearing a hood, appeared silently behind the ice-armored soldier. Without hesitation, he stroked the shark's teeth with his fingers.

"Across all directions!"

In an instant, a gap appeared in the formation of the ice armor soldiers, and twenty to thirty of them were killed or injured.

Ji Wuye suddenly grasped the eight-foot sword. Although he was a little surprised that Wei Zhuang arrived in time, it was also in his previous plan.

After Wei Zhuang made his move, he did not continue to act, but looked at Ji Wuye, who was on the attic on the side of Zilanxuan with a ferocious face, staring at him.

The remaining ice-armored soldiers did not besiege Wei Zhuang, but avoided her instead and continued to throw ice spears at Zi Nu in Zi Lan Xuan. Hundreds of ice-armored soldiers were divided into several waves, cooperating with Xue Yi Hou in brief and continuous attacks on Zi Nu.

At this time, all the doors and windows of Zilanxuan were broken, and it was easy to see inside from the outside.

Wei Zhuang glanced at Zi Nu, who looked a little embarrassed but still as heroic as ever, and even became more and more powerful as the battle went on, and he felt relieved.

He believed in Zi Nu's ability, just like how she was able to gather enough money for him to study in Guiguzi under such difficult circumstances. She was not his biological sister, but she was like a real sister to him.

Ji Wuye walked towards Wei Zhuang step by step, dragging his eight-foot sword on the bluestone ground, and a sharp metal scratching sound was heard.

"Descendant of Guigu, Master of Liusha, Wei Zhuang, this general has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Wei Zhuang stared at Ji Wuye with cold eyes, "Soon you won't have to wait any longer."

"Ok?"

"Because you will die."

After saying that, Wei Zhuang picked up the shark tooth without hesitation and slashed at Ji Wuye with the sword.

Ji Wuye was not careful enough and was hit by Shark Tooth.

What made Wei Zhuang's face change slightly was that he had known that Ji Wuye's martial arts skills had reached perfection and were unrivaled in the world, but he had not expected that he would be so strong and could withstand his sword without suffering much damage.

Without hesitation, Wei Zhuang swung his sword again and stabbed Ji Wuye in the face. Ji Wuye clenched his eight-foot sword to block Wei Zhuang's stab.

The horizontal training kung fu he practiced has not yet reached the point where there are no flaws on the whole body. The eyes and ears are still weak points. There is still a gap between him and Dian Qing, the senior brother of the Pijia Sect.

Being blocked by Ji Wuye, Wei Zhuang sneered, it turned out that he did have weaknesses.

Jingwei looked at Zi Nu who was fighting fiercely in Zi Lan Xuan with his beautiful eyes. He wanted to take action several times but restrained himself.

Soon after Cheng Jiao entered the palace and confirmed that there was no ambush in the palace, Jing Wei killed the Hundred Birds Killer who was monitoring him. He had been lurking around before Wei Zhuang arrived.

If Cheng Jiao had not instructed her not to take action until the critical moment, she would have joined forces with Zi Nu to kill Xue Yi Hou and Xuan Jian.

However, if she joined in now, Xuan Jian and Xue Yi Hou would know that the operation had failed, and would not fight to the end but would retreat, causing more trouble.

Therefore, Jingwei, who was wearing the fish-scale soft armor combat suit, could only wait, either Zi Nu could not hold on, or Cheng Jiao returned.

Jingwei's pretty face turned slightly cold. If something happened to Zi Nu, she would definitely find a way to kill Xue Yi Hou and Xuan Jian.

She recognized Zi Nu and treated her as a sister and relative, so she didn't mind doing ridiculous things with Zi Nu and Cheng Jiao, and like Cheng Jiao, she couldn't tolerate anyone hurting Zi Nu.
