The sun was s.h.i.+ning in the sky.

The murderous tension was filling up to the brim.

The skilled master of the marquis' manor rushed in front of Gu Yiyi. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he was slas.h.i.+ng around with the longsword in his hand.

Feng Ruqing extended her hand and pulled Gu Yiyi into her arms. She looked coldly at the skilled master who had rushed in front of her.

The skilled master of the marquis' manor did not stop moving. His mission was to kill these girls, as for who died first, it was none of his business.

On the other hand…

The skilled master found out that when he rushed in front of Feng Ruqing, those spirit beasts did not react at all, even the closest one did not rush to help her.

Zheng Tianwu had also acknowledged this.

There was a sneer playing on his lips and his eyes were filled with disdain. ‘Spirit beasts will always be spirit beasts. Expecting them to protect their lord is simply impossible. This little girl is so pitiful.'

Zheng Tianwu's smile did not last long before it froze.

That was because…

He saw Feng Ruqing's hands reaching out and firmly gripping the skilled master's longsword.

Her red dress was floating lightly as she held Gu Yiyi in her arms. Her dark eyes were cold and emotionless.

The skilled master's face changed. He vigorously tried to pull back the longsword from Feng Ruqing's hand but failed.

What made him even more frightened was that it was such a long and sharp sword, yet Feng Ruqing could hold it firmly in her palm without any injury.

At this moment, he only felt his blood was flowing backward as if it had solidified on his body.

He lifted his head stiffly and his cheeks were trembling with cold sweat. ‘This… this girl…'

Puff!

A groan sounded.

The skilled master of the marquis' manor lowered his head in disbelief when he saw the sword's hilt had pierced into his body and blood was dripping from his chest.

The sharp blade of the sword did not hurt her at all.

But the hilt of the sword, which should be harmless, had managed to pierce his chest…

Boom!

Before he could even say a word, the skilled master of the marquis' manor had collapsed onto the dusty ground. His body lay straight as he met his end.

Zheng Tianwu's eyes were somewhat solemn. Initially, he had just taken these vicious spirit beasts as enemies without thinking much of these human girls.

Unexpectedly, this girl was hiding her skills so well.

To settle the fight as quickly as possible, he was forced to strikeout.

The longsword was like the wind and its power was strong.

The entire sky darkened for a few moments from this powerful aura.

Zheng Tianwu's figure was like a longsword, slicing through the sky and landing sharply on Feng Ruqing.

Feng Ruqing quickly pushed Gu Yiyi to one side and narrowly dodged Zheng Tianwu's longsword.

The longsword split the wall behind it, causing a ma.s.sive crack on the wall. All the stones had fallen to the ground.

The man stood in the great breeze. His handsome face was cold. He looked at Feng Ruqian with eyes that were filled with intense murderous intent.

“Little girl, wait until I kill Gu Yiyi first, then I'll kill you.”

He did not forget that it was Gu Yiyi who should be executed first!

Zheng Tianwu turned around and suddenly a figure that seemed like a sharp sword shot toward Gu Yiyi, but he did not touch Gu Yiyi's face as numerous vines had broken out from the ground and wrapped around Zheng Tianwu like a long snake.
