Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

With a crisp "clang" sound, Chu Xiong drew his sword and blocked it in a flash. The cold light hit the broad sword, emitting sparks.

But it was a small blade as thin as a cicada's wing.

"Form a formation!" With Sikong Xiang's loud shout, four figures flashed out, with swords shining brightly, surrounding Bai Zhu who was about to attack again.

"You knew it a long time ago?" Bai Shu, who was surrounded in the center of the sword formation, glared at everyone, his white teeth almost broken.

"Bai Zhu, no, I should call you Huan Yan." Ye Feng stood aside with a distinguished posture, as if he was watching a performance. Even his voice did not fluctuate at all, and it was still so mellow and intoxicating. "When you handed me that cup of medicinal tea, I realized that you were not the real Bai Zhu."

"How did you find out?" Huanyan was curious, "I don't think I have any flaws."

"Your behavior and demeanor are exactly the same as Bai Zhu. However, you added an extra herb to the cup of medicinal tea you brought me." Ye Feng said in a gentle voice, "Unfortunately, my nose is quite sensitive."

"But I saw that you drank the medicinal tea without leaving a drop."

"Yeah." Ye Feng nodded, "Because the medicine doesn't work on me."

"How could it be?" Huanyan's expression froze.

The medicine could cause a person to bleed from all seven orifices and die, but after two incense sticks had passed, Ye Feng looked normal and did not feel any discomfort.

Did he take the antidote in advance?

"So you deliberately talked about the Soul-Seeking Tower in front of me in order to test me?" Huanyan was not stupid. After a little thought, she understood.

"That's right." Ye Feng said, "The master also quickly realized that there was something wrong with you, so he went to the trouble to remind me to conceal my identity."

Sikong Xiang explained, "When everyone on the scene knelt down to beg Your Highness to take care of himself, you were a little slow. Then when I reminded Your Highness not to reveal your identity, I secretly observed your expression. I found that although your face was normal, there was disdain in your eyes. Bai Shu admires Your Highness very much and always puts Your Highness's safety first. He would never show such a look when it comes to matters involving Your Highness's safety. Then, Your Highness and I deliberately mentioned the two killers Huanyan and Chili, and I found that your expression had changed."

"It is rumored that the Crown Prince is meticulous and has planned everything out. The counselors around him are also all shrewd and calculating. It is indeed so." Huanyan sighed.

He turned to Chu Xiong and asked, "Then how did you find me?"

Chu Xiong held the hilt of the knife, a look of shame on his face: "To be honest, I was the last one to find out among the three of us. When the master said that I couldn't even rank in the top 50 in the martial arts world, I realized that there might be something wrong with someone at the scene. Because the master once said that although my martial arts skills can't be ranked in the top 20, I can definitely be in the top 50. It wasn't until His Highness stood up and walked to my side and deliberately looked at me that I realized that there was something wrong with you."

"So, the three of you deliberately put on this show in front of me." Huanyan clapped her hands and laughed, "You are really scheming and calculating! The Crown Prince's subordinates are really talented. I have to admire them."

"Where is Baizhu?" Ye Feng asked him.

"Him?" Huanyan smiled, her tiny eyes narrowed into a slit, her expression and her voice were exactly the same as the real Bai Zhu.

"Don't worry, he is not my target. I won't kill him."

"Thank you." Ye Feng thanked him with a sincere tone.

Bai Zhu was the medicine boy beside the imperial physician Gao. Because he needed someone who knew medicine to take care of him, Bai Zhu volunteered to follow him and went on tours with him incognito. Ye Feng really didn't want Bai Zhu to get into trouble.

"Don't thank me too early." Huanyan smiled slyly, "Although I'm not dead yet, I'm not far from death."

Ye Feng's eyes darkened suddenly, and a chill spread all over his body. Everyone felt the room getting colder. Even Huan Yan felt the change in the atmosphere and was secretly surprised.

"Catch him for me!" Ye Feng's voice was icy and his tone was chilling.

"Yes!" The four people in the formation moved quickly, and four swords with cold shining light stabbed towards Huanyan in the middle.

"You guys are the only ones who want to trap me? What a joke!" With a sneer, Huanyan's body suddenly stood up, and the two sharp short blades in his hands danced into a circle of light, meeting the four sword energies.

Amidst the piercing sound of cutting gold and breaking jade, Huanyan's figure fell straight down. The huge force hit him so hard that he could hardly stand. He took several steps back before he could steady himself.

Four cold lights flashed, and four figures leaped and moved, still surrounding him.

Huanyan felt a chill in her heart.

He originally thought that these four people were mediocre in martial arts, and with his own martial arts skills, it would be effortless to break through. However, after the fight just now, he realized how wrong he was.

Each of these four people's martial arts skills are not high. But when they join together, their strength far exceeds the sum of the four. Moreover, this formation is connected from beginning to end, and there is almost no gap to escape.

Huanyan was on full alert, holding two short blades tightly and staring at the four men, looking for a way out. Suddenly, one of the four men jumped up and stabbed his chest with the long sword in his hand.

He sneered and raised his blade to block it. From the other side, a long sword quietly attacked.

The short blade in his hand turned and faced the long sword. Almost at the same time, the third sword arrived.

Huanyan was furious. With a roar, he jumped up and kicked the wrist of a man holding a sword. At the same time, he stabbed another man with the short blade in his hand.

But he was fast, and the other four were even faster.

The four of them worked together perfectly, as if they were one person. When one of them jumped up, the goal behind him was wide open, but another person would immediately fill the gap. When these four people moved, they were like monsters with four pairs of arms and four pairs of long legs. They were fast and powerful, and they could defend and attack, forcing Huanyan to be unable to resist.

Soon, Huanyan had several sword wounds on her body.

Seeing that the assassination mission had failed, Huanyan had already begun to think about retreating. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape the sword formation of the four men.

"Call it back!" Seeing that Huanyan was covered in wounds, moving slowly and looking tired, Sikong Xiang took the opportunity to shout.

He knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to capture Huanyan alive and force her to tell him the whereabouts of Bai Zhu.

The four shouted loudly, and the four sword energies suddenly became brighter. In the flash of white light, the look of horror in Huanyan's eyes was particularly eye-catching.

Huanyan felt completely hopeless. He knew that with his current strength, it would be difficult to escape.

A sword light with the force of thunder pierced towards his chest. Huanyan had just dodged a punch from someone, and his moves were old, and his body had no time to react, so he could not avoid the sword light.

At this moment, a huge force suddenly rushed into the formation. Everyone froze, and a red-black figure flashed by. When they looked again, the phantom in the formation had disappeared, leaving only a few bloodstains on the ground.

"What a fast skill, what a strong inner strength!" Chu Xiong was shocked and angry, "Chase!"
