People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

"Hmm? Yan Ri has that ability?"

Cao Ze was somewhat skeptical.

It's important to understand that the entry of the Yin-Yang School into Qin was not simply a matter of entering the Qin state; rather, it meant that the Yin-Yang School gained the qualifications to serve as officials in the Qin court and engage in certain activities.

If it was Lü Buwei who said it, then there's no problem.

But for a mere assassin leader to get the Qin state to agree to let the Yin-Yang School, one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, into Qin's fold seems a bit far-fetched.

But Donghuang Taiyi isn't stupid either. For him to trust Yanri so much, it seems Yanri has quite a few secrets.

Chapter 112 Star Soul Dies

Cao Ze asked the Black and White Sisters, "What are the purposes of Yan Ri and Donghuang Taiyi?"

Shao Siming (Black Path): "Your Majesty the Eastern Emperor has come primarily to kill Lu Goujian."

Shao Siming said, "As for Yan Ri, he is chasing Wuming. As for why he is chasing Wuming, we do not know."

Cao Ze thought for a moment and concluded that Yan Ri probably wouldn't reveal anything about the bronze box to Donghuang Taiyi.

So he said to the black and white sisters, "You two stay here for a while before you go over. If they ask later, just say I dumped you."

Hei Gang was about to say something when his sister Bai stopped him, saying, "Alright! I hope you take care, sir!"

After Cao Ze left, Hei Yi stamped her foot and said, "Sister, why did you take the risk?"

"Don't you know that if the Eastern Emperor Sect Leader finds out, we..."

Bai Weiwei shook her head, "We are not like Lady Xiang, the Grand Master of Fate, and are destined to be abandoned by the Yin Yang School."

She paused, then added, "We need to leave ourselves a way out, don't we?"

Hei froze, then fell silent.

Cao Ze stepped into Niushou Village again, glanced at the few remaining Luo Wang assassins outside the battlefield, and ruthlessly killed them.

Fortunately, this place is on the outskirts of Handan, the capital of the Zhao state.

If this were anywhere else, Yan Ri might have brought over a large number of assassins.

The first to discover Cao Ze's return was Jing Ke, who was fighting against Yun Zhongjun, an elder of the Yin Yang Clan, on the outskirts of the battlefield.

The sword in Yun Zhongjun's hand at this moment was not the Amaterasu Sword in Xu Fu's hand.

Jing Ke kept the fight going against Yun Zhongjun.

When Yun Zhongjun saw Cao Ze approaching, he was startled.

"Where are Shao Siming and the others?"

If it were the Black and White Sisters who had nothing to do with him, he would have fabricated a story, saying that he killed them and that they had betrayed him, to bluff Yun Zhongjun.

"I dumped him!"

Cao Ze firmly stated that Jing Ke did not need his help.

Go directly to Jingni's side.

Although they knew the chances of them joining forces to kill Yan Ri were slim, they still had to try.

If I could kill Yan Ri, I could at least have some peace and quiet for a while.

Yan Ri blocked one of Jing Ni's sword energies, and when he noticed Cao Ze approaching, he sneered, "Overestimating yourself!"

Cao Ze was not angry; he has always been very magnanimous.

"Thunder Magic - Northern Azure Pool"

He knew his strengths and weaknesses, and at this moment, helping Jingni provide support was far more effective than directly attacking Yanri.

It's a pity Li Wu wasn't here; otherwise, if Li Wu had added another layer of mental interference, we would have had an even greater chance of killing Yan Ri.

Yan Ri was entangled by Cao Ze's Yin Five Thunder Power, which directly reduced his movement speed and internal energy recovery speed.

They were originally evenly matched with Jing Ni, but now they are on the defensive.

"Good lad! Qian Sha was absolutely right when he said your methods were unpredictable!"

Cao Ze took it seriously and did not let his guard down.

No expert who can cultivate to the level of a half-step Grandmaster can be easily killed, let alone someone like Yan Ri, the leader of the Luo Wang organization.

He looked at Gongsun Long and Wuming, who were fighting against Donghuang Taiyi.

They knew the key to the battlefield lay between the three of them.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Long had just broken through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm and was not skilled in offensive combat.

In a short period of time, the two were put on the defensive under the pressure of Donghuang Taiyi.

He needs to help Jingni gain the upper hand as soon as possible and gradually turn the tide of victory.

He refused to believe that Donghuang Taiyi could fight two people at once, let alone a whole group!

"Wandering Earthworm Thunder!"

Cao Ze unleashed three worm-shaped lightning bolts to disrupt Yan Ri's actions.

Now that he has broken through the acquired level, his physical fitness has gradually improved, and he is now able to use the Wandering Earthworm Thunder at will.

Jing Ni shouted, gripped the Jing Ni Sword tightly, and slashed down at Yan Ri.

Yan Ri's gaze darkened slightly, and he shouted sharply, "Yin prevails over Yang, darkness falls on Yan Ri during the day!"

Jing Ni had already heard Cao Ze talk about the abilities of the Sun-Covering Sword.

When the red light of the Sun-Covering Sword shone, she had already closed her eyes and released her senses.

Yan Ri saw Jing Ni easily dodge, almost breaking through her defenses.

But the move had already been made, leaving him no time to hesitate.

Using the combined power of internal energy and spiritual energy, he created an eclipse, darkening the surrounding sky.

Then, it disappeared into the shadows and attacked Jing Ni in an instant.

Jingni's sword suddenly slowed down.

But soon, the area within half a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) was filled with sword energy.

"Tai Chi Hunyuan".

Jingni silently exclaimed in her heart, this was a bit of insight she had gained from Cao Ze's explanation of the Way of Tai Chi.

In Cao Ze's words.

Her execution of the Hunyuan Tai Chi move can be described as perfectly smooth and consistent, embodying the essence of nature.

A 360-degree defense with no blind spots, specifically designed to counter assassins who rely on sneak attacks.

Yan Ri coughed up a mouthful of blood.

As the leader of the Luo Wang organization, he was naturally aware of Jing Ni's strength and techniques.

He just didn't expect that Jing Ni would master a unique sword intent that was different from before, only a year after leaving Luo Wang, catching him off guard.

He was also injured by the sword energy surrounding Jing Ni.

Cao Ze secretly gave Jing Ni a wink.

Jing Ni frowned slightly. Cao Ze was asking her to create an opportunity; would it work?

In a flash, Jingni attacked Yanri again.

Cao Ze secretly gathered his strength, ready to use the Thunder Transformation Technique and Thunder Slash at any time, preparing to deliver a ruthless blow to Yan Ri.

On the other side, Lu Goujian, who was already under the influence of the Six Soul Curse, was suppressed by the Star Soul of the Yin Yang School.

Xinghun laughed cruelly, "This time, the sect leader said you will die!"

Lu Goujian wiped the blood from his mouth.

Although he can only exert the strength of a half-step Grandmaster now, Star Soul is in no way able to cause him any harm.

The most traumatic thing for him was the Six Soul Curse that Donghuang Taiyi had instilled in his body.

If too much internal energy is used, the Six Souls Terror Curse will burn the blood in his body, causing all the meridians in his body to surface.

As a result, his old face is now covered with red veins, making him look particularly ferocious.

We need to act quickly.

"You want to kill me? Come on!"

"Ink Sword - Heavenly Will!"

Lu Goujian roared, and a surge of sword intent rose into the sky, forcing Xinghun to retreat several steps.

He was known as the Sword Demon in the martial arts world, and that title wasn't given lightly.

Compared to the two moves in the Three-Handed Swordsmanship—one offensive and one defensive—Tianzhi's move is neither offensive nor defensive.

Instead, he used his essence, energy, and spirit as the source to release a strong sword intent containing his own will.

Furthermore, they replaced the will of Heaven with their own will.

Unlike Mozi, the founder of the Mohist school, who advocated the "manifestation of the will of Heaven," this was his own version of the will of Heaven!

That's why he was known in the martial arts world as the Three-Handed Sword Demon.

Wei Mou, a follower of the Yang Zhu school, murmured, "Old Lu..."

Gongsun Long was struck by Donghuang Taiyi's palm and coughed up blood.

Seeing his old friend fighting desperately, he shouted, "No!"

The nameless swordsman, who was on par with the Sword Demon, looked on with pity.

"It's my fault that Master Lu was harmed."

At this moment, the nameless swordsman realized that as long as he lived, he would bring disaster to countless people around him.

Jing Ke attacked Yun Zhongjun like a madman.

He has come to regard the old man who taught him kendo as family.
