"They can’t handle it, but what if we add one more person?" Fourth Miss Zhao’s expression had already cald down a lot as she looked towards the figure half-hidden in the darkness and respectfully said, "Senior, I’m counting on you this ti."
From the darkness, that figure slowly walked forward, releasing an enormous aura and an intimidating authority.
A Sword Master, actually a high-level expert from the Sword Master Realm!
Fourth Miss Zhao trembled with excitent. When Zhao Sinin had introduced this expert to her, she was only told that despite his young age, his strength was shockingly high, even surpassing the sons of noble families from the Capital. Fourth Miss Zhao had guessed back and forth, daring only to assu he was of the Tenth Rank Great Swordsman’s realm, yet she had never imagined that he was actually from the Sword Master Realm.
Zhou Qi was equally excited; in fact, he had never t this person before either. It was only after arriving at Exotic Beast Valley that he found this man using the contact thod taught by Zhao Sinin, only to find him to be a young man with a bizarre temperant, who never looked anyone straight in the eye. Originally, he was sowhat dissatisfied, but he refrained from making a scene out of respect for Zhao Sinin.
Only now did he understand that the others indeed had the capital to be arrogant. This was a Sword Master, after all; even their Wu Family Master was rely at the peak of Tenth Rank Great Swordsman and hadn’t reached the Sword Master Realm. It wouldn’t be fair to his strength if he wasn’t a bit arrogant.
While excited, Zhou Qi also secretly felt fortunate that he hadn’t shown his dissatisfaction on his face earlier; otherwise, being slapped to death by soone, he would have had nowhere to reason about it.
In stark contrast to their excitent, Mu Cheng’s heart had already completely despaired. Not to ntion that he was poisoned, even if he hadn’t been poisoned, even if his strength were several levels higher, even if he risked his life, it would still be impossible for Mu Hanyan to escape safely.
Wu Qiuyun’s face had also turned sowhat pale; he, of course, knew that such a high-level expert was not soone they could contend with.
"Ha ha ha ha, Mu Hanyan, didn’t expect that, did you? We actually managed to invite such a high-level expert, your good luck ends here." Fourth Miss Zhao’s face contorted as she burst into wild laughter again.
If she had known earlier that the person Zhao Sinin recomnded was a high-level Sword Master, she wouldn’t have even bothered using poison, wasting several ancestral Poison Pills for nothing.
"Brother Mu, let’s join forces against him." Wu Qiuyun suddenly said.
Mu Hanyan was slightly startled; at such a ti, Wu Qiuyun didn’t run away but instead wanted to join her in fighting the enemy, which was sowhat unexpected.
"I’ll hold him off with all my strength for a mont; you recover your strength as quickly as possible and escape." Wu Qiuyun’s voice was very low as he spoke.
Fourth Miss Zhao and Zhou Qi did not know Mu Hanyan’s true strength, still thinking she was a Ninth Rank Swordsman, whereas Wu Qiuyun knew that Mu Hanyan was not only a Tenth Rank Swordsman but her actual combat power was even stronger than an average Tenth Rank Swordsman. Perhaps with the elent of surprise, she might be able to escape.
However, he was still suffering from the toxicity of the Bone Marrow Transformation Pill, and although there was a way to detoxify, his strength couldn’t recover to its optimal state. By just buying so ti for Mu Hanyan, his strength might further recover a bit, giving him another chance to escape.
"Aren’t you afraid of dying?" Mu Hanyan couldn’t help but ask.
"I’m not worth living for; my life has already been saved by you countless tis. However, this ti I was commanded by the family to participate in the trial, and my only task is to stop Qu Fengting. If you manage to escape alive, please make sure to complete my mission and prevent Qu Fengting from obtaining the strange treasure in the palace." Wu Qiuyun said. He smiled faintly, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
