He Dongfeng's face was grim as he tangled with Yun Ruo, trying to create distance to unleash the Giant Spirit Flying Dagger Technique. Meanwhile, he kept an eye on his surroundings. There were others on the opponent's side; the crossbow bolt just now was shot by someone they brought along. If not for that bolt, his flying dagger move earlier would have been enough to break free from Yun Ruo's grip, even if it didn't injure her, allowing him to escape safely or even counterattack!

Just then, two figures swiftly burst into the courtyard. Seeing what was happening, they charged towards Yun Ruo! A faint red glow emerged over their bodies. This was Qi and Blood! Two 8th-Rank experts!

Yun Ruo, however, paid no mind, fully focused on dealing with He Dongfeng. At that moment, a shadow appeared like a ghost, raising a blade with a swift motion. The figure passed through the two 8th-Rank experts without even glancing at their fate, then raised a crossbow and aimed at He Dongfeng. The two experts hadn't even seen the attacker's face before their heads rolled to the ground, expressions of shock still frozen on their faces. This was an overwhelming display of agility!

"Yang Ling! It's you, you little bastard!" He Dongfeng's face flushed red. "If I had known today would come, I would have crushed you at the Ironclad Division!"
