My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Fan Hongmiao covered his ears in pain, trying his best to steady himself and scout out the situation ahead.

Ahead, flames raged, and amidst the firelight, figures could be seen fighting. Most prominent among them were Qi soldiers in uniform, who were attacking a single person as if they had gone mad.

The scene was too chaotic for them to see clearly who the soldiers were attacking.

But clearly, General Yao was right.

These soldiers were indeed controlled by the evil entity and were now obeying its commands to attack the unknown person.

Fan Hongmiao and the other civil officials stood at a distance out of fear. Furthermore, they had never met Ji Yunshuang and were unaware of who the Qi soldiers were currently targeting in their relentless attack.

But General Yao immediately recognized that the one who was wreaking havoc was none other than Ji Yunshuang.

When he confirmed that it was Ji Yunshuang, a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

"We might be saved!"

Zhu Qi looked at General Yao, a guess forming in his mind. But he still felt it was too much of a coincidence, so he asked, "Could that be the Ji family?"

General Yao said, "I can't see their faces clearly, but judging from the clothes they're wearing, they should be her people. I don't know why she's here, but with her around, we might have a chance to survive."

Zhu Qi said no more and, like General Yao, looked at the battle situation ahead.

He had heard many rumors about Ji Yunshuang from General Yao. In General Yao's words, although she was a woman from an enemy country, she was an extremely outstanding person.

He didn't completely believe General Yao's words before.

Like some ministers in the court, they suspected that General Yao was merely making excuses, deliberately portraying the other party as a god descended from heaven in order to shirk responsibility.

But now, seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that General Yao was not lying. The opponent was indeed terrifyingly strong.

He and General Yao, relying on their martial arts skills, were closer to Ji Yunshuang and the others, and could see them more clearly.

Putting everything else aside, Ji Yunshuang's skills alone are unmatched.

Her swordsmanship was so fierce that even her master at his peak might not have been able to match her.

Moreover, her physical strength is terrifying.

He didn't know how long she had been fighting. But when he and General Yao arrived, they saw soldiers attacking her alone in a relentless, rotating fashion.

She took the sword and knocked them down one by one.

Besides the Qi soldiers who were under her control, there were also many insects who tried every means to kill her.

She was able to wield weapons in both hands, using a sword to deal with the controlled Qi soldiers in one hand, and another weapon in the other to deal with the insects.

She was able to multitask like this, surrounded by both people and insects, yet she remained undefeated.

Zhu Qi finally understood why General Yao spoke of her with nothing but praise. Anyone who stood before her would feel inferior!

The key point is that she is not only skilled in martial arts.

She also possessed divine weapons that they had never seen before.

Putting everything else aside, just look at that fire-breathing stick in her hand—it's a weapon they couldn't make even if they pulled out all their hair.

Not to mention the clothes they were wearing.

He didn't go in to look, but he could tell from their fight that her clothes were very light and sturdy, made of a rare material that was resistant to blades and fire.

With just the weapons they possess, she could build an army that could dominate the world.

Regardless of whether those insects exist or not, the State of Qi is no match for the State of Zhou and will ultimately fail.

General Yao is right.

They should have cultivated a good relationship with him sooner!

Zhu Qi now only regrets that he did not persuade King Qi Jing more. If he had not imprisoned General Yao, and had immediately stopped the deserters from entering Qi after listening to General Yao's words, and had quickly prepared gold and silver to apologize to Ji Yunshuang, would the final result have been different?

But it's too late to think about it now.

He could only put aside these thoughts for now and carefully observe the battle situation ahead.

One soldier after another fell, turning into shriveled husks. Those shriveled husks piled up into a small mountain, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Zhu Qi tried to ignore the mountain of skin and look at other things.

It was only then that he realized that there was a strange creature that looked like a human but was also an insect being imprisoned.

The soldiers of Qi were being controlled, and the Ji family was being subjected to a series of attacks, seemingly in an attempt to rescue the evil entity that had been imprisoned.

Therefore, they controlled the soldiers of Qi to deal with Ji Yunshuang, hoping to use this to delay her and rescue the evil creature.

An indescribable rage rose in Zhu Qi's heart.

No wonder General Yao said that Lady Ji had a deep-seated aversion to those insects, and that it was absolutely impossible for her to have created them. He said that she wanted to kill those insects more than anyone else.

Those insects were absolutely wicked and cruel.

They easily controlled so many soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom, allowing them to do as they pleased.

If these evil creatures are not killed, won't all of them become its puppets in the future?

He wished he could go and help right now.

Ji Yunshuang wasn't actually as relaxed as Zhu Qi appeared. She was very tired, thirsty, and her hands were sore.

But there were still many soldiers infected by the insects, and the insects continued to attack her.

They were using tactics against her, trying to wear her down until she was exhausted.

Although she didn't know what they would do to her once she was exhausted, she was certain she wouldn't let them have their way.

She glanced at the raging fire, which was growing larger and completely out of control, and an idea popped into her head. She walked towards the woods where the fire was intensifying.

Seeing her actions, Xu Xi and the others were filled with worry and unconsciously called out, "My lady!"

Lu Yinheng followed her toward the burning fire.

Ji Yunshuang said, "You don't need to come along!"

In a critical moment, she could discard the protective suit and return to her spatial dimension. She had prepared several extra sets of protective suits for herself just in case. Therefore, she was not worried about not being able to escape from the sea of ​​fire.

But he was different.

Although protective suits are fire-resistant due to their material, this does not mean that there is absolutely no danger in a fire.

She might not be able to care about him then.

She said, "Take your men and retreat to the foot of the mountain."

Lu Yinheng instantly understood her plan.

She planned to use her own abilities to wipe out all the insects. Thinking of the illusions he had seen earlier, a sudden tightness gripped his heart.

He said, "Let Xu Xi lead them down the mountain! I'll go with you."
