Assassin Wu Liuqi starts with a bull and horse talisman and smashes Red Fang.

Gu Qianhan could only smile helplessly at Mei Hua Shiyi's anger at the time.

Why?

Just because he is a member of the Xuanwu Kingdom's royal family.

This is a dog-eat-dog world; if you're weak, you deserve to be trampled underfoot by the strong.

Moreover, Xuanwu Kingdom has produced a sword master like itself, a talent that is hard to find even in a century.

If he hadn't risen to power, the Xuanwu Kingdom's royal family might have given Plum Blossom Hero, this swordsmanship expert, some leeway.

But things are different now.

The fact that the Xuanwu Kingdom's royal family actually did this was also a consideration for their own interests.

Just as Lanminghua had told himself, the streets and alleys of Xuanwu Kingdom never stopped discussing him as the supreme swordsman.

This is to create momentum for themselves, and at the same time, to announce to the world that Xuanwu Kingdom has produced a sword genius.

Just like when they were frantically promoting the Tianlong Gang as the number one gang in the Xuanwu Kingdom.

However, Gu Qianhan, like Lanminghua, completely ignored the olive branch extended by the royal family.

Although the royal family didn't say anything, they were naturally unhappy.

In order to curb the power of the Tianlong Gang within the Xuanwu Kingdom, the royal family once again created momentum for figures like the Eyeless Mage, the Nine-Fingered Qin Demon, the Plum Blossom Hero, and the Master of Praise Fist.

In order to create a posture of being on par with the Tianlong Gang.

However, Gu Qianhan's situation is different from that of the Tianlong Gang this time.

No matter how powerful the Tianlong Gang is, it is still a group and is relatively easy to manage.

However, Gu Qianhan is a lone wolf, and lone wolves are inherently unpredictable.

Furthermore, after the royal family learned of the sword duel between Plum Blossom Swordsman and Gu Qianhan, they believed that ordinary methods were no longer sufficient to suppress this lone wolf.

Therefore, the royal family decided to start by recruiting the Plum Blossom Swordsman.

On the one hand, it's to have a backup plan; on the other hand, it's a warning.

The meaning is clear: if the royal family extends an olive branch to you, you must accept it; otherwise, the destruction of Plum Blossom Manor will serve as a warning to you.

Gu Qianhan naturally saw through the royal family's move.

But he didn't care.

He wouldn't care about the so-called suppression and warnings from the royal family.

Besides, in another time and space, he could destroy the entire imperial city of Xuanwu Kingdom with a single sword strike and refine the entire royal family.

If it weren't for that crazy old man in this era, Gu Qianhan would have wiped out the Xuanwu Kingdom's royal family long ago.

Since we haven't completely fallen out yet, it's best to keep things peaceful.

If the royal family dares to attack him, even under the pressure of that crazy old man in the Kingdom of Ster, Gu Qianhan will completely wipe out the royal family of Xuanwu Kingdom.

At this moment, Qingfeng said nothing, while Meihua Thirteen clenched her fists.

Upon seeing this, the leader, who was actually Fei Xi in disguise, revealed a smile.

This child is just like Plum Blossom Eleven, quite interesting.

"Qingfeng, what are you waiting for? Take down Plum Blossom Thirteen."

Hearing the leader's cold words, Qingfeng gripped her twin swords tightly and looked up at the high platform.

It's now!

Now is the best time to attack; if we miss it, we don't know how long we'll have to wait.

Qingfeng took a deep breath, then suddenly circulated her inner energy to create a red barrier.

Seeing that the other party was about to attack her, Fei Xi couldn't help but smile.

"Qingfeng, do you know what you're doing?"

Qingfeng snorted coldly at this.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment? How could I possibly give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

"Do you still remember that night many years ago when you destroyed my Qingyun Kingdom!"

Even as Qingfeng rushed towards her in an instant, Fei Xi remained unmoved.

After all, in her eyes, this guy named Qingfeng was not weak, but he was far from being considered a strong person.

Zheng!

With a crisp sound, Qingfeng's twin swords were flicked away by Feixi's casual finger.

This scene made Qingfeng's scalp tingle.

His attack with his twin swords was deflected so easily?!

He knew that without using the Azure Cloud Flowing Water Sword Technique, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat the assassin leader.

He just didn't expect that his opponent would neutralize his attack so easily.

Is this all you've got?

"Not enough, Qingfeng."

The masked concubine continued to provoke Qingfeng with a cold tone, eager to see what this so-called Azure Cloud Flowing Water Sword Technique was all about.

Although Gu Qianhan said that the so-called Qingyun Liushui Sword was actually just a common thrusting attack.

Not only is it not a big deal, but it also has significant drawbacks and is impractical.

But that couldn't stop Fei Xi's curiosity.

Seeing this, Qingfeng took a deep breath, then sheathed one of the knives and gripped the single-edged sword in her right hand.

At this moment, Qingfeng's aura began to rise steadily.

Fei Xi shook her head in disappointment.

Just as Gu Qianhan had said, the drawbacks of the Azure Cloud Flowing Water Sword were indeed too obvious.

Spending so much time gathering energy in the early stages is practically suicidal in the ever-changing battlefield.

In that time, I could have killed you a hundred times over.

As Qingfeng raised his aura to its peak, his eyes flashed red as he suddenly stabbed towards Feixi.

At this moment, a bloodthirsty madness appeared in Qingfeng's eyes, because he was about to avenge his parents, master, and people!

However, this sword strike, which should have been a sure hit, was easily dodged by the opponent.

At the same time, the red barrier crumbled little by little, like a broken eggshell.

Only Qingfeng, looking utterly incredulous, and Feixi, unharmed and disguised as the leader, remained.

"Is this the Azure Cloud Flowing Water Sword?"

"Too much preparation before an attack, you'll die the first time."

"You died twice because your attack trajectory was too predictable."

"Who exactly came up with this flawed sword technique?"

These cold, hard words shattered Qingfeng's psychological defenses.

He didn't understand why he couldn't injure the leader when his master could use the Azure Cloud Flowing Water Sword Technique.

In an instant, a deep sense of despair and helplessness enveloped Qingfeng, and he collapsed to his knees before Fei Xi.

Could it be that my cultivation level is not high enough?

If I could use the Azure Cloud Flowing Water Sword Technique with such a huge attack range as Lord Ice Emperor, the assassin leader definitely wouldn't have been able to dodge that attack just now.

Seeing Qingfeng's utter despair, Fei Xi frowned slightly.

To be so dejected and resigned to one's fate after just one missed attack—is the mental fortitude of this generation's Shadow Assassins really that weak?

This is a disgrace to the Assassin's Creed!

Thinking of this, Fei Xi couldn't help but release a trace of her aura.

But even this little bit of aura was enough to shock Qingfeng and Meihua Thirteen into wide-eyed stares.

Mei Hua Thirteen couldn't help but swallow hard, cold sweat dripping down her forehead.

So this is the kind of entourage the leader of an assassin organization has!

Just then, a lazy voice came from behind.

"Alright, alright, we've had our fun. No need to scare them anymore."
