Go and capture those thirty-six fierce villains.

This Mohist seems a bit weak.

There was no time to grieve for the passing of Bai Gu, the "Mohist".

Taking advantage of the soldier's momentary lapse in concentration, Qin Ning swiftly moved forward, using his right hand to feint with his peach wood sword to deflect the soldier's longsword.

With his left hand outstretched, he reached towards the other person's mouth and nose, and a burst of purplish-black plague gas erupted out!

After doing all this, he quickly retreated, picking up the little black cat with one hand and grabbing Feng Hanying's arm with the other.

"Walk!"

However, the next second, the blood-red phantom of the longsword instantly enveloped the two of them, and the armored soldier was not greatly affected by the plague.

"Knowing you're a doctor, how could I not be on guard...cough cough."

"What kind of poison is so potent? I took a poison-avoiding pill beforehand, yet I was still slightly affected." The soldier looked smug, but was secretly alarmed.

However, he didn't care too much. He just wanted to capture the other party as soon as possible and then treat him when he got back.

Qin Ning was no less surprised than the other side... This group had actually used a method to avoid the poison in advance... Hiss, it felt like they were being specifically targeted.

He swung his peach wood sword upwards, using the immense downward momentum to quickly plunge into the ground along with Feng Hanying.

Enveloped in a pale yellow light, the two were very close. While feeling the warmth of the faint cherry blossom scent, Qin Ning was also shocked by the other party's earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape through earth).

He felt as if he were a fish, surrounded by dense, black soil that, though tightly encased, would automatically part to make way for him to move freely.

This feeling is so strange... I wonder if there are similar methods after the family is upgraded to a higher level.

Qin Ning snapped out of her daze and whispered in Feng Hanying's ear, "Are we just going to escape the city like this?"

Feeling the warmth on her earlobe, the naive girl trembled slightly, and the surrounding yellow light flickered.

Unfortunately, due to her limited abilities, she could only use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to teleport people to earth) and she could only get this close to Qin Ning.

"What are you thinking...? These border towns are surrounded by Yin-Yang formations. The Five Elements Escape Technique can't get through them. At most, you can only get to the city gate." Feng Hanying swallowed and continued, "Get ready, we're almost there."

After saying that, the two of them quickly rose to the surface in the firm black soil.

As soon as it appeared, a large, dark blue net, with iron filings stuck to its joints, descended upon it.

An ambush? How could there be an ambush!

Qin Ning was astonished. The moment his peach wood sword touched the net, he felt an extremely sticky sensation. Beside him, Feng Hanying's blazing crimson sword materialized and slammed heavily into the dark blue net.

The moment the swordsman made contact, a foul, fishy smell appeared.

The burn marks on the net were obvious, but it was not damaged; instead, it tightened even more.

"This is weird... Let's run away."

Seeing that the net was unbreakable, Qin Ning made a decisive move. Feng Hanying reached out to hug her waist, intending to use Earth Escape again, but a complex array of patterns appeared beneath her feet, and the yellow light on her body instantly dissipated.

Without a doubt, the people lying in ambush had also prepared Yin-Yang array flags.

"Oh my, what a tragic little couple!"

A harsh, hoarse voice rang out, and Qin Ning struggled to turn her head in the net. There, on an open-air rattan chair not far away, sat a gaunt man draped in a bright red robe, his face thickly covered in makeup, his lips painted like rotten peaches.

When this person spoke, his body swayed erratically, his fingers were curled into a delicate, effeminate gesture, and his eyes were as sticky as greasy oil that hadn't been scraped off the stove for three years, making people feel disgusted and uncomfortable.

The guy seemed afraid that others would know he was normal... Qin Ning's eyes were filled with undisguised disgust, and when he looked around again, his eyes lowered.

There wasn't a single pedestrian near the city gate; it was a dark mass of soldiers, all clad in heavy armor.

It seems that Blood Rain Fortress really is a one-man show run by the Gu family.

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

He whispered to Feng Hanying.

"What's there to apologize for? If it weren't for you, I probably would have lost my life on the grasslands." Feng Hanying leaned half her body tightly against Qin Ning, her pink lips barely curving upwards before a bitter look appeared on her face.

"Unfortunately, I'm not very skilled in the metal and wood elements, otherwise I could try to cut this net."

Qin Ning didn't respond, a resolute glint flashing in her eyes.

"Release her, and I'll go back and treat your illness."

I definitely can't win in a fight, but as long as I get a chance to escape this net and get close, three palm strikes should be enough to take this androgynous thing away.

It's a pity... The mischievous smile of the young Daoist Master flashed through his mind... and what the other party said, that if he died, he really died.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

Gu Kexing sat up abruptly, his face powder falling off in a flurry. He stuck out his tongue and licked his rotten peach-like lips, then waved to the armored soldier beside him who was trying to suppress his discomfort.

"After the woman was killed, the doctor crippled her limbs and sent her to my residence."

"Here you go!"

The centurion received the order and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers under his command instantly formed ranks.

Although Qin Ning and his companion were covered by a net of lacquer and blue sand, there was a seventh-rank miscellaneous master inside who could remotely manipulate the power of the five elements.

He dared not underestimate it.

"I'm not reconciled..." Qin Ning sighed inwardly. It seemed like they had been completely outmaneuvered the whole way, which was really frustrating.

"I wonder if the Palm Lightning can break through this net."

Facing dire straits, he decided to no longer conceal his identity.

Although the Daoist Master said that revealing the identity of a Daoist successor means death.

But death is something only the living are entitled to experience.

Tiny arcs of lightning flickered in Qin Ning's palm, and a loud shout came from the horizon, growing louder as it approached!

"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, even if your soldiers commit violence, are you not afraid of divine retribution?! Today, with me, Bai Gu, the Mohist, here, no one can touch them!"

Attracted by the sound, everyone looked up.

Suddenly, a figure shot towards Qin Ning and his companion in the center of the encirclement.

Boom!

The figure crashed heavily to the ground, causing a small pit, half the depth of a hand, to collapse into the blue brick floor.

Michael Koo stood up, flashing a bright smile: "Don't worry, with me here, no one can touch you... Um, by the way, what are your names?"

Qin Ning

"Feng Han Ying"

Seeing that the other party had "come back to life," Qin Ning was a little confused. He noticed that Bai Gu's clothes had blown open, revealing a strange blue-gold armor underneath, with a knife mark on it.

"Oh, this was made by my teacher and me. It was really dangerous just now. If it weren't for this Hundred-Refined Azure Divine Armor, my first attempt at chivalry would probably have had to be abandoned halfway."

Bai Gu noticed Qin Ning's gaze and spoke up to explain, but halfway through his explanation, an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

This guy is weird... but he seems to be on our side.

Qin Ning: "Ahem... Brother Bai, could you help me break this net?"

Since the Mohists were known for their unpredictable and ingenious mechanical skills, they might have a way to deal with this sticky and sturdy net.

Bai Gu didn't disappoint Qin Ning either. He glanced at it and said, "Lacquer-coated sand net? Tsk... It looks like the temperature dropped by half a percent when the glue was applied, otherwise you wouldn't be able to move at all right now."

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and several pieces of bluish-gold iron sheets crawled out like ants, completely covering his palm.

Then, Qin Ning watched as he reached out and grabbed and pulled, and the dark blue net that had left the two of them helpless was crushed to pieces as if it were a withered tree.

In a few swift movements, the dark blue net was completely reduced to powder.

A chill ran through the air, originating from Bai Gu's hand covered in metal.

"This net is not afraid of water or fire, but its flaw is that it becomes as brittle as a withered leaf when exposed to low temperatures."

Bai Gu explained with a smile, the metal on his palm disappearing.

Having regained his freedom, Qin Ning's gaze swept over the surrounding armored soldiers, finally settling on Gu Kexing, who was sitting in a rattan chair.

"You like getting medical treatment, huh? Well, I'll give you a proper 'treatment' today!"
