Seeing Zhao Hanshuang and Cao Lin recklessly charging forward, even Liu Yu followed them into the courtyard. Qin Tian remained in place, shaking his head.

On this journey sneaking through the woods, indeed, there were no suspicious signs to be found. It could be said the path was calm and peaceful.

But it is exactly this calm and peace that is the biggest suspicion!

The Blood Refining Hall, an esteemed branch, even has two experts at the Primordial Pill Early Stage. Could it be they wouldn’t set up any mechanisms or scouts at their branch station?

Moreover, Qin Tian casually glanced at the courtyard ahead, and with instinct alone, sensed something was wrong.

This time they were playing a sneak attack. Qin Tian had carried out countless ambush assassinations in the past, and could quickly tell if a target was prepared for an ambush.

At this moment, the Blood Refining Hall station, without a doubt, appeared obviously problematic to Qin Tian.

It was just unexpected that Zhao Hanshuang was overly arrogant, thinking herself so powerful that she could look down upon everyone.

”Arrogant woman, you’ll pay the price for your pride and arrogance.”

Qin Tian murmured softly, continuing to stay hidden in the bushes without entering the courtyard.

He was waiting, waiting for the fight to commence inside.

He was certain Zhao Hanshuang and the others were trapped in an ambush circle set by the Blood Refining Hall.

”What a pity for Liu Yu. I couldn’t convince him to turn back. I hope nothing goes terribly wrong, just severely punish Zhao Hanshuang and Cao Lin...”

Qin Tian had a very good impression of Liu Yu and sincerely hoped Liu Yu would remain safe.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Outside the courtyard, a sudden cold wind blew through.

Then, Qin Tian saw six black-clothed men descend from seemingly nowhere outside the courtyard and sneak directly inside, each holding a glistening weapon!

”...”

Upon seeing these men, Qin Tian instinctively wanted to signal to Liu Yu and the others. However, before he could shout, the sounds of battle emerged from the courtyard, True Qi clashing, winds howling!

”The fight has started; it’s best I don’t reveal my identity now.”

Qin Tian had a clear self-positioning; he was at Qi Refining Late Stage, facing several Qi Refining Peak and Primordial Pill Early Stage experts in the Blood Refining Hall. Any one of them would be tough to handle, so keeping a low profile was prudent. He firmly adhered to Cao Taiji’s advice: upon reaching the Spiritual Domain, focus on cultivation, do not boast.

After waiting for two minutes, the fight in the courtyard erupted thoroughly.

Without a doubt, the Blood Refining Hall was well-prepared, ambushing Zhao Hanshuang and the others with inside and outside coordination.

This was destined to be a bitter struggle.

”The Blood Refining Hall people surely have more than just an ambush. There should be poison and hidden weapons. I wonder if they evaded them...”

Currently, Qin Tian did not know the exact situation inside. He quietly stepped out of the bushes, pondering, eyes landing on the two Blood Refining Hall guards killed by Cao Lin.

”Hehe, tonight I’ll pretend to be one of them!”

The Blood Refining Hall underlings all wore the same uniform. An idea instantly formed in Qin Tian’s mind. Taking advantage of nobody being outside the courtyard, he quietly dragged a guard’s corpse into the bushes. Not to defile or desecrate — just to change clothes.

After half a minute, Qin Tian adjusted the hat on his head, holding the guard’s long iron sword, and rushed into the courtyard.

At this moment, the situation in the courtyard was still chaotic.

Cao Lin and Liu Yu were surrounded by several Blood Refining Hall members, and Zhao Hanshuang was similarly trapped in bitter combat.

Qin Tian saw a thin silver needle piercing Zhao Hanshuang’s left shoulder. From the looks of it, she was ambushed and injured, hence even her combat power was struggling.

”They’re actually all injured.”

Seeing it open one’s eyes to the unexpected.

While Zhao Hanshuang only had one needle stuck, Cao Lin and Liu Yu had at least two needles each on their bodies!

”The silver needles are likely poisoned. The situation will be dire if the poison takes hold!”

Witnessing this scene, Qin Tian was a bit worried, although he was only concerned about Liu Yu.

Zhao Hanshuang and Cao Lin, since they both wished for Qin Tian’s demise, he naturally didn’t care about their fate.

”Silver Light Sword Technique!”

Suddenly, Zhao Hanshuang shouted. With a flash of silver light, she unleashed a Qi Refining Peak level swordsmanship move. Despite her injury, the power was massive, instantly killing three Blood Refining Hall disciples with a triple stab!

”This woman indeed has some skills, truly remarkable!”

Seeing Zhao Hanshuang’s sword moves, Qin Tian understood clearly that Zhao Hanshuang, one of the top five prodigies of Qilin Mountain Sect, was exceptionally powerful, living up to her reputation!

”Hahaha, this girl is really something! Leave her to me. I’ll slaughter her and use her blood for my Blood Sword! You take out those two brats!”

Suddenly, an arrogant laugh came from a thirty-something black-clothed man, leaping directly in front of Zhao Hanshuang!

”Girl, you look quite nice. Such a waste to kill... Hehe, which sect are you from? How dare you target my Blood Refining Hall? Tired of living?” The black-clothed man glared at Zhao Hanshuang, speaking.

”Cao Gang, you’re dead today! I’m a disciple of the Qilin Mountain Sect! Prepare to die!”

Seeing Cao Gang, Zhao Hanshuang raised her eyebrows, brandishing her sword to engage Cao Gang in combat!

Meanwhile, Liu Yu and Cao Lin were besieged by over ten Blood Refining Hall disciples.

Especially with one Primordial Pill Early Stage expert and two Qi Refining Peak experts launching continuous attacks, Liu Yu and Cao Lin were caught off guard and steadily retreated.

Qin Tian, mixed among the Blood Refining Hall members, shouted loudly but didn’t actually attack Liu Yu and the others, instead, observing quietly.

At this point, Zhao Hanshuang and Cao Gang’s duel grew increasingly intense, both offense and defense at play, Zhao Hanshuang didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage despite her injury.

”Were it not for her injury, it’s likely that even though Cao Gang is at Primordial Pill Early Stage, he wouldn’t be her match,” Qin Tian marveled inwardly.

The two continued battling, True Qi colliding, swords clashing, from inside the courtyard to outside, disappearing from Qin Tian’s view.

Yet Qin Tian still heard them, knowing that they hadn’t gone far, likely entangled in the woods.

”Let’s see if Zhao Hanshuang can defeat Cao Gang in five minutes. If not, the poison from the silver needle will activate in five minutes, and she will be utterly defeated.”

Refocusing, Qin Tian turned his eyes back to Liu Yu and Cao Lin.

At this moment, Liu Yu and Cao Lin were fiercely fighting, having already slain seven Blood Refining Hall disciples, including a Qi Refining Peak expert. The Primordial Pill Early Stage expert was also injured.

But the situation was grim. On the Blood Refining Hall side, including Qin Tian and the Primordial Pill Early Stage expert, five remained, while Liu Yu and Cao Lin were already wounded and cornered.
