Go and capture those thirty-six fierce villains.

However, before taking action, Qin Ning still had a question to answer.

"...Brother Bai Gu, what rank are you?"

"The eighth rank of the Mohist school: storyteller!"

"Then you call yourself a Mohist!" Qin Ning's eyes widened.

"Hey, although I'm only an eighth-rank, wearing this Hundred-Refined Azure Divine Armor makes me as strong as a half-step sixth-rank martial artist. Rounding it up, isn't that making me a Mohist? Besides..." Bai Gu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "When I'm doing chivalrous deeds, calling myself a Mohist sounds more impressive."

Okay... you've convinced me.

Surrounded by armored soldiers, Qin Ning noticed glints of cold light flashing on several small buildings further away.

It seems the other side even deployed archers.

"Brother Bai, we've only just met, do you really want to get involved in this mess?"

The situation they face is no child's play; one wrong step could mean certain death. No, not just one wrong step, but a very, very high probability of death.

After all, there are three thousand soldiers in Blood Rain Fortress.

Therefore, Qin Ning confirmed it again before taking action.

"Upholding justice and chivalry is our bounden duty as Mohists!"

As Bai Gu spoke, he turned to face the group of heavily armored soldiers and said, "You go first, I'll cover the rear!"

Before he finished speaking, a dense sound of footsteps came from behind the crowd, and there were dozens of armored soldiers hidden in the city gate.

......

The rooftop of Baiweilou.

The entire floor was empty. Physician Yang stood by the railing, quietly gazing at what was happening at the city gate.

"Godfather, he's just a humble doctor, does he deserve your attention?"

Li Siqin asked in confusion. Among the three people surrounded in front of the city gate, if there was anyone worth Sichen Guard's attention, it would only be Bai Gu, who called himself Mo Zhe.

Even that lowly seventh-ranking girl from the miscellaneous profession had a much more impressive background than the doctor.

But his adoptive father's gaze has remained fixed on the seventh-grade needle-wielding man named Qin Ning from the very beginning until now.

He really couldn't understand... It couldn't be because this person and his adoptive father both practiced the path of the healer, and his adoptive father took a liking to this person and wanted to take him as his successor.

But if you've set your sights on someone, just bring them under your control; why put them in danger?

"Siqin, if you were Qin Ning, how would you break this deadlock?"

Li Siqin, whose figure resembled a pumpkin hammer, remained silent for a moment.

"Godfather, if it were me, I would have taken advantage of Bai Gu's naive nature from the beginning and encouraged him to use all the methods of the Mohist school to cover my escape from the city first."

"Once we reach the outskirts of the city, if there are still pursuers, I will use my looks and affection to persuade that young girl from the commoner family to cover my retreat. Only in this way can we have a chance of survival."

Physician Yang offered no comment, but asked softly, "Meishan, what about you?"

Xu Meishan smiled foolishly: "I'll do whatever my godfather says."

Li Siqin, who had been expressionless, glanced sideways and cursed inwardly.

Physician Yang shook his head and chuckled, his gaze still fixed on Qin Ning: "Let's see."

......

"Haha~ There are even people who come to me willingly. Hmm, although they're not particularly good-looking, they're still usable."

The appearance of Bai Gu did not curb Gu Kexing's arrogance; instead, he started picking and choosing like he was buying vegetables.

"Brother Qin Ning, what does he mean?" Bai Gu asked, puzzled.

"...He's acting like a woman. Guess what he means?" Qin Ning curled her lips in disgust.

Bai Gu was first stunned, then shocked and his mind was severely impacted. "There are such...such..." he said angrily.

"But he shouldn't do something so forceful!"

After he finished speaking, tiny lapis lazuli iron plates crawled out from his limbs and face, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a bronze-colored humanoid iron lump, which charged straight towards the army formation.

You seem a little sinister... Seeing this, Qin Ning followed suit.

Now surrounded by hundreds of armored soldiers, with archers lurking in the distance, their only way out is to capture Gu Kexing.

"Trying to capture me so you can escape?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Gu Kexing's eyes. He leaned back in his rattan chair, beckoned, and two handsome young men brought him snacks and drinks.

He picked up the wine glass with his delicate fingers and said to the tall man next to him whose face looked rather unpleasant.

"Commander Huang, send your men over here as well. With a Mohist practitioner present, these men alone might not be able to take down the three of them."

Commander Huang hesitated, "Young Master, the Lord is about to be transferred. Is it... wrong for us to make such a commotion...?"

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Kexing downed the wine in his cup in one gulp. "My second uncle has just been promoted to the position of Vice Minister of War. Isn't it a perfect congratulatory gift for him that I captured these three spies from the northern grasslands in Blood Rain Fortress?"

A realization flashed in Huang Qianhu's eyes.

Although my young master is ruthless, cunning, and a scoundrel... and has some tastes that are unacceptable to the world, he is certainly not stupid. To mobilize soldiers without authorization and surround and kill ordinary people is punishable by death according to the law.

As a border commander of the Great Xia Dynasty, leading his troops to bravely capture three spies from the northern grasslands was a meritorious deed and deserved a reward!

Huang Qianhu took a slender iron tube from his waist, put it in his hand and twisted it gently.

Whoosh—snap!

A thunderclap boomed from the sky.

Ironically, this thing was also a creation of the Mohists, specifically for use in emergency military communications.

Today, however, it is used to surround and kill a Mohist.

Not far away, five hundred fully armored soldiers, already fully prepared, marched heavily toward the city gate.

The more they fought, the more people appeared.

With a long saber hilt in his left hand and a peach wood sword in his right, Qin Ning struggled to dodge and weave through the army formation.

Fortunately, his physical condition had improved considerably since the previous battle on the grasslands; otherwise, without the plague virus protecting him, he would probably have been captured by these people long ago.

"Meow!"

Of course, the fact that he was able to hold out for so long was also due to the fact that the cat, taking advantage of its small size, kept using its sharp claws to cut the soldiers' ankles.

"A cat that's getting its paws trimmed..." A strange thought popped into Qin Ning's head at an inopportune moment. She shook her head and looked at the little black cat that had retreated to her feet.

"I haven't had a single good day with you, yet you're risking your life."

"Meow!"

The little black cat flicked its tail and drew the number two on the ground, meaning to tell him not to say those things.

Qin Ning's lips curled up as he turned to look at Bai Gu, whose figure was almost completely swallowed up by the soldiers.

It must be said that the opponent's Hundred-Refined Azure Gold Armor was indeed formidable.

And Louis Koo himself... did indeed fall very far behind.

After fighting for a while, Qin Ning realized that this brother who called himself a Mohist only knew a little bit of rudimentary martial arts.

The reason he was able to hold out in this army formation for half a day was entirely due to the armor he wore and the strange Mohist artifacts he occasionally took out.

"This can't go on. If we want to get close to Gu Kexing, we need to create some chaos."

Qin Ning's thoughts raced as he deflected several downward-pressing longswords and arrived at Feng Hanying's side.

"Could you conjure up a few large fireballs and waterballs?"

"Who should we smash?"

"Smash each other."

Feng Hanying: "...?"

He quickly and quietly explained his plan.

Three zhang away from Gu Kexing, several water and fireballs, each about half the size of a person, appeared.

"Be careful not to get burned."

As Feng Hanying spoke, she used her remaining strength to place a water mist "protect" mark on Qin Ning's body.

"Li Nu, stay here and protect Miss Feng."

Seeing that the other party was somewhat weak, Qin Ning also spoke up to give instructions.

Immediately afterwards, water and fire collided, and large plumes of white steam enveloped everyone present.

Chaos ensued.
