Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

He knew he had met his match today, and if he continued fighting, he might really be defeated here.

"You brat, don't get too cocky!" the second-in-command growled through gritted teeth, then suddenly feinted with his sword and turned to run towards the entrance of the water dungeon.

He was making plans in his mind. As long as he escaped from here and gathered the people outside, no matter how powerful this girl was, she would be no match for so many people.

"Trying to run? Too late!" Zi'er wasn't about to give him that chance. With a sharp cry, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and chased after him like an arrow. Just as the second-in-command was about to step out of the water prison threshold, she suddenly exerted force with her wrist, and her longsword, like a shooting star, accurately pierced his back.

With a "thud," the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was clearly audible.

The second-in-command's body stiffened abruptly. He looked down in disbelief at the sword tip protruding from his chest, blood gushing from the blade. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but only spat out a few mouthfuls of blood before collapsing heavily to the ground, lifeless.

Zi'er slowly drew her soft sword; the blade trembled slightly, shaking off all the blood droplets.

She turned to look at Lin Yiwan, the coldness on her face fading slightly, and quickly walked over: "Madam, shall we go out now?"

Lin Yiwan nodded and reached out to help the frail old doctor Lin to his feet.

The three walked outside and, sure enough, saw that Hu Tianyi had already surrounded the area with his men.

When he suddenly saw Lin Yiwan, his face was still filled with surprise. He asked in shock, "How could it be you? What is your relationship with Physician Lin?"

Lin Yiwan replied coldly, "He is my maternal grandfather, and I am the wife of the current Marquis of Zhanyi, Lin Yiwan!"

Hu Tianyi gripped the knife at his waist tightly, his eyes contorted with rage.

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "So that's how it is. Then don't blame me for not letting you leave!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and asked, "Since we are about to die, could you please tell me, Chief Hu, who ordered you to kidnap my maternal grandfather?"

Hu Tianyi resolutely refused: "No, I absolutely cannot reveal my employer's background to others; that's the rule of the underworld!"

Lin Yiwan sneered, "Even if you didn't say it, I already guessed it. Her name is Rong Zhiyu, right? A spy from the Heavenly Mandate Palace of the Kingdom of Li, hiding in our dynasty. I originally thought your Wolf Head Gang was just a bandit, but I didn't expect that you would actually betray your country and collude with the enemy. You truly deserve to die!"

Hu Tianyi immediately retorted, "This gang leader has never colluded with the enemy or betrayed the country. Don't make such baseless accusations. She is not a spy at all!"

Lin Yiwan didn't want to waste any more words with him. He was originally a heinous bandit, and his existence was nothing but a scourge.

She looked at Zi'er: "Go ahead and kill!"

Zi'er nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

She picked up her longsword and swiftly lunged at Hu Tianyi.

As the leader of the Wolf Head Gang, Hu Tianyi naturally had some skills.

He held a pair of large axes, their surfaces gleaming coldly, the blades still bearing traces of undried blood—clearly weapons that had drunk the blood of countless people.

Seeing Zi'er attacking with her sword, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he let out a deafening roar and stomped his feet on the ground. The thick stone slab was cracked by his foot.

He gripped a broad axe in each hand and slashed fiercely at Zi'er's sword. With a loud clang, the sound of metal clashing together sent pebbles falling from the nearby ground.

Zi'er felt a tingling sensation in her hand, her longsword nearly slipped from her grasp, and the force of the impact sent her staggering back three steps. She stumbled a few times in the wet, slippery mud before managing to regain her footing.

"Little brat, you've got some strength, but you're still too green!" Hu Tianyi shook his equally numb arm, a ferocious smile on his face, his triangular eyes fixed on Zi'er as if he were sizing up prey that was about to be caught.

He sneered, "You dare to run wild on my turf? Today I'll show you the power of these two axe-splitters!"

Zi'er gritted her teeth, shook her slightly trembling wrist, and looked at Hu Tianyi with an increasingly serious expression.

She had used all her strength in that sword strike, yet it was blocked by the opponent, demonstrating that Hu Tianyi's brute force far surpassed that of the previous second-in-command.

The opponent's great axe is incredibly powerful; if you get close, the consequences will be unimaginable.

She took a deep breath and slowly channeled her inner energy into the sword. The longsword, which had been gleaming coldly, was now tinged with a faint glow, and the tassel swayed gently with her movements.

"You're just being glib, aren't you afraid of your tongue getting twisted?" Before Zi'er finished speaking, she moved again. This time, she didn't confront him head-on, but instead circled around Hu Tianyi swiftly, her steps as light as a swallow gliding across the waves. Her long sword darted out like a nimble snake, targeting the gaps in his axe swings.

Sometimes he would attack his armpits, sometimes he would stab his waist, and sometimes he would flick at the wrist of his axe-wielding hand. Every move was cunning and ruthless, but he would stop short of causing a direct clash with his axe.

Hu Tianyi was enraged by her elusive movements, roaring repeatedly as he wielded his large axe with ferocious force, the wind whipping up sewage and mud from the ground, splattering it everywhere.

Although his axe strikes were fierce, he was always a beat slower than Zi'er. He could only watch helplessly as the tip of her sword swayed in front of him, nearly piercing his vitals several times, which startled him so much that cold sweat poured down his back.

His two great axes could sweep through thousands of troops in open areas, but in this narrow water prison, they became a burden. Every swing required him to be mindful of the surrounding walls, making it impossible for him to unleash his full power.

"You cowardly rat hiding your head and tail, if you have the guts, fight me head-on!" Hu Tianyi roared, slamming his double axes into the ground, creating a wave of mud, trying to force Zi'er back.

Zi'er was prepared. With a light tap of her toes, her body floated into the air like a willow catkin, dodging the attack while simultaneously thrusting her long sword toward Hu Tianyi's neck.

The sword was swift and accurate, and it looked like it was about to pierce his throat.

Hu Tianyi's pupils contracted sharply. In that life-or-death moment, he jerked his head to the side, the longsword grazing his ear and severing several strands of black hair. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he raised his left axe and slashed fiercely at Zi'er in mid-air.

Zi'er knew something was wrong and hurriedly sheathed her sword and retreated, but she was still a step too slow. The axe blade tore a long gash in her skirt, and she almost cut her calf as well.

Lin Yiwan's heart was in her throat. Her gaze swept over the corpse of the second-in-command on the ground, and a thought suddenly came to her mind.

Taking advantage of a lull in their fight, she crouched down and ran to the second-in-command's corpse, quickly searching his body.

Her fingertips touched a cold, hard object, and a surge of joy filled her. She quickly pulled it out and saw that it was a poisoned dagger. She gripped the dagger tightly, her eyes fixed on the scene, waiting for the right moment to strike.

At this moment, Zi'er and Hu Tianyi had been fighting for dozens of rounds, and both of them were already panting.
