General Nangong saw a black-clad youth accompanied by three Ghost-Faced warriors leap from the ranks of the Ghost-Faced Army, demonstrating remarkable qinggong skills as he soared over the Yan Dragon Shadow Guards on the open ground and landed fiercely by Marquis Xuanping's side.

"Beat him." Marquis Xuanping ordered.

General Nangong's eyes widened.

Wasn't this against the rules of martial arts?

Generals should fight generals, and the outcome should be decided in a one-on-one match, shouldn't it?

"Wait, that's not right." Marquis Xuanping stopped Chang Jing, "Cut him down!"

Didn’t he want to chop off his son's fingers, hehe!

General Nangong: “...”

Chang Jing drew his long sword.

It was a black iron sword with bamboo leaves engraved on the blade.

General Nangong's face turned pale with shock, "Hidden Night Sect?"

Hidden Night Sect was the most renowned assassin sect among the six states.

But wasn't the Hidden Night Sect in the upper states?

How could there be an expert from that place appearing here?

And standing next to Marquis Xuanping even?

Chang Jing had followed Marquis Xuanping onto the battlefield, further improving his martial skills and imbuing his moves with a murderous aura.

He swung his long sword horizontally towards General Nangong, who hastily drew his sword to block it!

He managed to block it, but he was forced down from his horse.

General Nangong was astonished. ReAd lat𝙚st chapters at n0v(𝒆)lbin.co/m Only

Were all the experts of the Hidden Night Sect this powerful?

He, a member of the Nangong Family, was renowned for his martial arts within the six states.

Soon, he understood that this black-clad youth's martial arts were more formidable than the average expert from the Hidden Night Sect.

He had seen that long sword before. The tassel on the hilt was a gift from the State of Yan’s Emperor. He had been there at the time. The owner of the long sword was the current sect leader of the Hidden Night Sect——Chang Kun!

Chang Kun... Chang Jing...

When he looked at Chang Jing again, his whole body went cold.

This was the young master of the Hidden Night Sect, heir to the sect leader’s position!

Marquis Xuanping, whatever price you paid to enlist the heir of the Hidden Night Sect, my Nangong Family can pay double!

General Nangong was in a dilemma, thinking whether to be ruthless or not.

If he didn't act ruthless, what awaited him was his death. But if he did kill the heir of the Hidden Night Sect, his family would face retaliation from the Hidden Night Sect.

Either way, he was doomed!

General Nangong wasn't like Marquis Xuanping, a reckless and vulgar fellow. He was a cultured warrior.

However, tonight, he cursed in his heart like he had never cursed before.

Marquis Xuanping paid no attention to General Nangong's inner turmoil. Riding his horse, wielding his long sword, he leisurely attacked the Dragon Shadow Guards and soldiers from the State of Yan.

His Ghost-Faced Army numbered three thousand men. While they might not be able to defeat the Yan Dragon Shadow Guards in single combat, their coordinated attacks made them formidable opponents!

General Nangong's men were divided into two waves, one on the open ground and one in front of the ravine.

Between them stood Empress Dowager Zhuang's carriage and a few of their people.

As soon as Marquis Xuanping entered combat mode, he became a different person. Mounted on his high-headed steed, he waved his command flag with dignity.

The three thousand soldiers dismounted and split into three groups, surrounding the two groups of Yan forces with shields and spears respectively, while the last wave of soldiers formed a protective barrier around Empress Dowager Zhuang's carriage.

When the command flag moved, the coiling dragon formation arose; when the flying dragon formation advanced, it could defend or attack. Every change in formation was impeccable, while the situation on the State of Yan's side wasn’t so optimistic.

As waves of Yan Dragon Shadow Guards fell, cries of agony filled the air.

General Nangong watched helplessly as formations he had never seen before devoured his army like a monstrous beast, all the while he was entangled by the Hidden Night Sect’s heir and three Ghost-Faced warriors, unable to give commands!

In his moment of distraction, Chang Jing thrust his sword, piercing General Nangong's waist. Then, with a swift motion, he swung his sword and severed one of General Nangong's arms!

Empress Dowager Zhuang sat in the carriage, witnessing this scene of a hunt.

Yes, it was indeed a hunt.

Empress Dowager Zhuang knew just how formidable the Dragon Shadow Guards were, and the Dragon Shadow Guards brought by General Nangong were even stronger than those of the State of Zhao.

However, in the face of Marquis Xuanping's Ghost-Faced Army, these Yan Dragon Shadow Guards had no chance to display their skills. They became prey in the woods, hunted down by the Ghost-Faced Army!

This was not only a tactical advantage but also an overwhelming display of momentum.

Marquis Xuanping seemed to naturally exude an aura of dominance. Even if he simply stood there without doing anything, he emanated an undeniable and unrivaled air of superiority!

Of course, mere bluffing wouldn't do. He needed solid strength and forces.

And Marquis Xuanping proved himself in every aspect.

Once upon a time, Empress Dowager Zhuang thought that the most tactically savvy commander in the State of Zhao was Old Marquis Ding'an, Gu Chao.

However, witnessing Marquis Xuanping's methods against the Yan Dragon Shadow Guards, she realized that Marquis Xuanping's understanding and mastery of the battlefield and tactics surpassed anyone else's.

If such a person were born into a great family like the Nangong Family, one could only imagine what achievements he might have made.

The hunting didn't last long before it ended, leaving a few survivors.

"Take the prisoners back for interrogation. As for the rest, clean up what needs to be cleaned up and bury the bodies."

Cleaning up meant confiscating the enemy's weapons and valuables, a practice consistent with both Marquis Xuanping and Gu Jiao, ensuring no war resources were wasted.

As for burying the bodies properly, it was mainly to prevent disease outbreaks.

Seeing that the tide had turned and having lost an arm himself, General Nangong didn't bother confronting the Hidden Night Sect’s heir further, throwing a black gunpowder and fleeing!

Chang Jing, wielding his long sword, chased after him!

Marquis Xuanping wasn't worried about Chang Jing's safety. Apart from a few old folks and Long Yi in the capital, hardly anyone could handle Chang Jing, especially when General Nangong had lost an arm.

Marquis Xuanping approached Empress Dowager Zhuang's carriage, dismounted, and saluted to the closed curtain, "This official arrived late to the rescue, causing Empress Dowager Zhuang undue distress."

Marquis Xuanping wasn't really here to exchange pleasantries.

Empress Dowager Zhuang glanced at Xiao Heng beside her and said, "Go, let your father send you back. I'm returning to the palace tonight."

Xiao Heng: You clearly promised to play leaf cards with Aunt Liu tonight.

"Go." said Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Xiao Heng reluctantly got off the carriage.
