Mu Hanyan was extremely puzzled in her heart. It had not been long since they were only Fifth Rank, so how had they advanced to the Eighth Rank so quickly?
Could the Golden Silk Jade Fire Grass and Green Leaf Ruo Vine, obtained from Yan Yuchu, really be so effective? Mu Hanyan found it hard to believe.
The Golden Silk Jade Fire Grass and Green Leaf Ruo Vine were indeed very rare, and they perfectly complemented Huayue’s Heart Burning Technique and Zirong’s Heart Leaving Technique, almost as if they were tailor-made for them.
But even if the Golden Silk Jade Fire Grass and Green Leaf Ruo Vine were exceptional, it seemed impossible that they could have advanced to Eighth Rank Swordsmen in such a short time. Mu Hanyan clearly remembered that on the way back from Xiushui City, both of them were still only Fifth Rank Swordsmen.
As Mu Hanyan silently marveled in confusion, and the others were staggered in astonishment, Qin Li suddenly let out a soul-shattering scream.
Eighth Rank Swordsmen! He could never have imagined that these two, who he thought he could crush with two fingers, were also Eighth Rank Swordsmen, their strength no less than his.
It was not just about them combining their forces; even one of them alone might be too much for him to handle.
Seeing Huayue’s explosive, volcanic red sword shadows and Zirong’s hidden, sinister dark cyan sword light, Qin Li felt a surge of despair—he was doomed. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novｅlfire.net
Mu Hanyan raised an eyebrow. These two henchmen truly hid their capabilities well. It wasn’t her turn to act yet, and she could enjoy the spectacle. But, she was annoyed! Today, if the two henchmen were disobedient, Mu Hanyan was displeased, and she decided, they would be docked next month’s salary!
The high-level experts from the Zhao Family and other major families secretly posed a threat to the Mu Family. Mu Hanyan had initially planned to wait until she was stronger before investigating and preemptively eliminating potential threats for her family, but she hadn’t expected to encounter Qin Li so soon and he was just an Eighth Rank Swordsman. Meeting Huayue and Zirong, who had also advanced to the Eighth Rank, had spared her much trouble.
She was still very confident in these two Gold Medal Thugs. Given Zirong and Huayue’s characters, they should know the consequences of not removing the roots when cutting grass. Normally dealing with ordinary people was one thing, but facing such experts, they would certainly not be lenient; once they acted, they would not leave any troubles behind.
The only regret she had was that she also wanted to deal with Tian Bo, but under the current circumstances, it was not good to act. After all, she was not truly a playboy; she still had to consider her actions carefully. In front of Ye Fengyun, there were things she simply couldn’t do too excessively.
As she thought this to herself, she suddenly heard Qin Li’s scream as he was sent flying by Huayue’s sword. One side had been overconfident and careless, while the others were well-prepared. Both were Eighth Rank Swordsmen, so how could he possibly withstand a combined attack from Huayue and Zirong?
One move, this was the true meaning of being defeated by one move!
The only thing Qin Li felt lucky about was that, at the crucial moment, Zirong suddenly held back. Twisting his wrist, the sword tip that was aimed at his throat shifted away.
"Thank you!" Qin Li almost cried tears of gratitude. If it were him, he would never have held back in such a moment.
Mu Hanyan was a bit surprised. Since when had Zirong become so merciful? This was not like him at all.
As she thought this, she saw an eerie smile appear on Zirong’s face as he shouted, "Indeed formidable! Even our combined strike couldn’t injure you; now take another strike from me!"
