Upon hearing the mention of Yan Di's older brother, Nightingale's expression immediately turned sour.

Yan Di's older brother is a soldier, and a young lieutenant colonel at that. He serves as the squad leader of a special forces unit, which is one of the country's elite forces. Since the military cooperated with the Dragon Palace, he met Nightingale and was deeply attracted to her, so he has been pursuing her ever since.

Because he belonged to a different organization from the Dragon Palace, when he heard that Nightingale only liked Dragon Fang, he always wanted to find an opportunity to compete with Dragon Fang. Unfortunately, Qin Ziling had already been expelled from the country at that time.

Now that Yan Di had actually brought this up, Nightingale felt a little strange. She quickly looked at Qin Ziling and explained, "Qin, don't listen to his nonsense. His older brother, I have absolutely no interest in him."

As soon as she said that, everyone's expression turned strange.

Murong Shun shook his head and smiled wryly. This girl was notoriously stubborn. He decided to wait and explain something to her when she seemed so eager to do so.

Qin Ziling knew what Nightingale was thinking. He nodded, gave her a reassuring look, and then walked towards Yan Di.

"What...what do you want to do?!" Yan Di's expression changed drastically when she saw Qin Ziling move, and she was somewhat frightened.

Qin Ziling said calmly, "What I hate most is a spoiled brat like you. You're clearly just a piece of trash, yet you still rely on your family to flaunt your power. I think your existence is indeed tarnishing the reputation of the Dragon Palace."

"Hmph! Who do you think you are! You're no longer a member of the Dragon Palace! What can you do to me?" Yan Di sneered.

Qin Ziling suddenly revealed a playful smile: "You're right, I am indeed no longer a member of the Dragon Palace, but don't forget, I was once an insurmountable peak for you, and I still am now!"

brush!

No one expected Qin Ziling to make a sudden move, not even Murong Shun. But before he could stop him, Qin Ziling had already slapped Yan Di across the face.

Snap!

Yan Di could only scream as her body flew out.

Passersby looked over in surprise.

Holy crap! A trapeze artist? How did they do that?

"presumptuous!"

At that moment, a low shout rang out, a gust of wind swept in, and suddenly a middle-aged man rushed towards Qin Ziling, exuding a powerful aura! He threw a punch at Qin Ziling!

The sudden scene caught Nightingale and the others off guard, and their expressions changed drastically.

Qin Ziling remained calm throughout. Just then, the swordsman beside him suddenly stepped forward, blocking his way and exchanging a palm strike with the middle-aged man!

boom!

A powerful aura spread out, causing the middle-aged man to retreat repeatedly, and the swordsman also retreated several meters.

The swordsman looked at the middle-aged man, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Who are you?!" Nightingale stared at the middle-aged man with a frosty expression.

The middle-aged man looked at Qin Ziling and said, "Boy, who gave you the courage to mess with someone from the Yan family?"

Murong Shun: "..."

Turns out he was a bodyguard.

Qin Ziling understood and looked at the middle-aged man with a mocking expression: "The Yan family? Are they very powerful?"

The middle-aged man sneered, "Very well! You don't even know the Yan family, yet you dare to bully my young master? Today, I'll teach you a lesson!"

boom!

A powerful aura of ancient martial arts was revealed, clearly indicating that he was a Heavenly Gang Realm expert!

Fourth-grade Heavenly Gang Realm, the top combat power among the fourth grade!

"I'll do it!"

Suddenly, the swordsman charged towards the middle-aged man.

The two engaged in a fierce battle. Since the swordsman was not wielding a sword, his fighting ability was much weaker, and at first, the two fought to a standstill.

"Why bother?" Murong Shun shook his head.

"Why didn't you stop him from causing trouble in the first place? What were you planning? Did you want me to get involved in this mess?" Qin Ziling suddenly looked at Murong Shun, his gaze calm, yet seemingly able to see right through people's hearts.

Murong Shun's face stiffened, then he said innocently, "How come I don't know what you're talking about?"

Qin Ziling sneered. He knew this guy's scheme very well. How could he not know what he was planning?

Yan Di had already stood up in a disheveled state. He stared intently at the battle in the arena, somewhat shocked. In order to deal with Long Ya, he had specially recruited thugs from his family, peak fourth-rank experts. As far as he knew, although Long Ya was glorious in the past, he was already seriously injured and no longer a threat.

Unexpectedly, one of the opponent's subordinates was able to fight on par with a strong member of the Yan family.

They underestimated it!

Just as the thought crossed his mind, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"What...what do you want to do?!" Yan Di stared intently at Qin Ziling, her face showing an undeniable look of terror.

Qin Ziling looked at him indifferently: "I think a fool like you shouldn't be let go, and..."

At this point, he glanced at the silent Murong Shun.

"You want to drag me into this again? Well then, I'll grant your wish!"

bump!

Without warning, a kick struck Yan Di squarely in the chest, sending her flying!

puff!

Yan Di felt as if her internal organs no longer belonged to her, and her face contorted in pain.

"Young Master!" The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically: "How dare you, you brat!"

He channeled his inner energy to blast the swordsman away and charged straight at Qin Ziling.

Qin Ziling ignored him and calmly walked towards Yan Di.

"Die!" A murderous intent flashed across the middle-aged man's face. He surged with qi in his hand and struck Qin Ziling directly with a palm.

The powerful force flew directly towards the latter, creating a shockwave.

The people around him all looked terrified.

Is this a movie shoot or a battle of gods?

Qin Ziling suddenly turned around and pointed a finger!

A beam of golden light shot out, instantly shattering the middle-aged man's attack. The golden light penetrated deep into his opponent, sending him flying.

Before the oblivious middle-aged man could even land, a sword light slashed towards him! With a soft "plop," it pierced directly into his body!

Thump!

The middle-aged man fell directly to the ground!

Upon seeing this, Murong Shun's expression changed. He moved swiftly and appeared directly beside the middle-aged man to check if he was still alive.

Realizing the other person was still breathing, Murong Shun breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Qin Ziling and said, "Longya, you went a bit too far."

Qin Ziling looked him straight in the eye: "I thought I had been very merciful to you!"

Murong Shun narrowed his eyes.

Nightingale suddenly spoke up: "Vice Hall Master, in terms of both reason and emotion, Longya is not wrong. It was Yandi who insulted him first. If it were you, you would probably have done the same."

Protect Qin Ziling!

Without a doubt, between the Dragon Palace and Qin Ziling, Nightingale stands with the latter.

Murong Shun's face darkened immediately: "Girl, don't be ridiculous!"

Nightingale met his gaze without fear: "If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago. Now that Yan Di has been rude, even if he is from the Dragon Palace, I will not side with him no matter what."

Qin Ziling patted her shoulder: "It's alright, I doubt they'd dare to do anything reckless."

Murong Shun: "..."
