Ye Zhen did not take a carriage today, but rode a horse out of the city.

As the longsword thrust at her, she shifted her body, leaped off her horse, drew her soft sword from her waist, and engaged the man in black in a fierce battle.

Yin Yue Wan Xing also got into a fight with the people Ye Yun Heng brought.

Who are you?

After exchanging a few blows, Ye Zhen realized that this person's martial arts skills were slightly inferior to hers.

Oh!

He was truly enraged; without even testing her skills, he couldn't wait to kill her as soon as he left the city.

It seems he really cares about Ye Wantang. So who could it be?

Ye Yunheng was shocked, not expecting Ye Zhen's martial arts to be superior to his own. However, he was not afraid. Although his martial arts were slightly inferior to Ye Zhen's, he had experience in killing countless people. Moreover, he had a backup plan.

He thought to himself, "I'm here to take your life," but dared not utter a sound lest he be exposed.

Then Ye Zhen sneered, "A coward who doesn't even dare to reveal his name, he must be a despicable person."

Let me guess, are you Li Xiangguo's lackey, or one of Ye Wantang's lovers...?

She spoke with sarcasm, intending to provoke the other person, while watching their reaction closely.

Seeing that the man in black still had no intention of speaking, Ye Zhen asked again, "Neither?"

"oh!"

She feigned sudden realization, drawing out her words with a hint of amusement.

"Could it be Li Chenghai's mistress, or Ye Zhengqing's mistress?"

Prime Minister Li has spread rumors that I harmed them. You wouldn't have believed those rumors and come seeking revenge on their behalf, would you?

The murderous aura suddenly became even more intense.

Ye Zhen had a sudden thought. He said that Ye Wantang didn't react much, but when he mentioned her affair with Ye Zhengqing, she was clearly angry.

Is he a junior who respects Ye Zhengqing?

She continued, "Then I am truly wronged. I heard that the two of them had already been having an affair, and Ye Zhengqing was so tormented that he had to buy tonics everywhere."

But Li Chenghai still wouldn't let him go, which shows how twisted this person really is. If you were Li Chenghai's man, you should be happy that he's dead, otherwise you'll become the second Ye Zhengqing.

If you are Ye Zhengqing's man, then you should also seek revenge on the Li family, after all, it was Li Chenghai who killed Ye Zhengqing..."

Ye Yunheng found these words extremely annoying and was furious.

He tried his best but couldn't hurt Ye Zhen, while Ye Zhen was still able to chat with him calmly.

His aunt said she loved him and wanted to cultivate him, but it turned out to be a lie. The one she was really cultivating was Ye Zhen.

Otherwise, how could a girl who grew up in the countryside have such good skills?

Even if it was Yin Jiuniang who taught him, Yin Jiuniang was someone Ye Zhen's aunt found for him. And judging from Ye Zhen's appearance, he doesn't seem to be completely inexperienced.

Could it be that she hasn't been staying at the estate all these years?

Yes.

That must be the case, but his aunt kept it from him and often made him write to his parents, urging them to treat Ye Zhen well.

Living such a carefree life, why should Ye Zhen need her parents to treat her well?

It was all a lie; my aunt had indeed been wary of him all along.

Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose in his heart. As he thrust his sword at Ye Zhen, his other hand reached for the hidden weapon at his waist.

"court death!"

Ye Zhen's eyes darkened. He caught the hidden weapon with his soft sword and took a closer look. He realized that the hidden weapon was poisoned.

At the same time, several crossbows were aimed at Ye Zhen from the shadows.

Ye Zhen's expression grew cold.

Poisoning and ambushing in the shadows, leaving no way out, so eager to kill himself, just because of Ye Wantang and Ye Zhengqing?

If he really cares about them so much, why doesn't he actually help them?

Even if Ye Wantang was not in the capital before, Li Xiangguo could still plead for her.

For Prime Minister Li, promoting Ye Zhengqing, who was obsessed with his official career, was an easy task.

But he didn't, which means that the biggest reason this person wanted to kill him was still for his own sake.

Ye Zhen deftly dealt with the attacks from all sides, her mind racing.

Who did she offend, or who did she threaten?

So much so that the other party wouldn't allow her to live?

Ye Yunheng was increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. Ye Zhen's martial arts skills and experience in dealing with enemies far exceeded his expectations. He had trained hard with Ye Jinghong for many years and had also sought another master in recent years, never slacking off for a moment, yet he was still no match for Ye Zhen.

Is this what they mean by bloodline inheritance? Will Ye Zhen become the second Ye Jinghong?

No, that won't do. Ye Zhen is already a princess; she can't climb any higher. Otherwise, once she learns about her true identity, she might not be able to hide anything else from her.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and unleashed his ultimate move!

This was taught to him by Ye Jinghong. Letting Ye Zhen die from the martial arts taught by her birth mother could be considered a favor from her cousin.

A surge of murderous intent swept over her. Ye Zhen whistled, handing over the ambushers to Fu Guang and the others, while she focused on parrying Ye Yunheng's deadly attack.

The soft sword entangled with the longsword, which carried a sharp killing intent. Ye Zhen's eyes widened slightly. This move...

She recognizes her!

It was her mother's deadly sword technique.

Seeing her talent for martial arts, her master gave her all the best opportunities. Her mother, who was also highly skilled in martial arts, was naturally among those her master sought out.

The mother was generous to her niece, but she didn't have time to teach her personally, so she taught her through letters and simple drawings, with the master giving guidance from the side.

In her previous life, Ye Zhen only mastered two and a half moves. Before she could even master the third move, her master and mother both met with misfortune. After that, due to various reasons, she was unable to make any progress and was imprisoned.

It wasn't until after her rebirth that she finally broke through the third move, but she still couldn't figure out the fourth move.

Her master advised her not to rush, as the fourth move required extremely deep internal strength, and it was not the right time for her yet. She needed to cultivate her internal energy techniques first, and perhaps one day she would have a sudden inspiration and understand it.

She clearly remembered that her master said this set of techniques was her mother's secret skill and was not to be passed on to outsiders.

However, since Ye Wantang had no interest in martial arts, the Ye family tried their best to push Ye Yunheng to his mother, who then taught Ye Yunheng.

The man in black is currently using the first move of his deadly technique...

Ye Zhen coldly glanced at the man opposite her, then tossed the soft sword to Yin Yue beside her. "Sword!"

With the tacit understanding developed over many years between mistress and servant, Yin Yue immediately understood that her young mistress wanted the ultimate killing sword.

That was because Master saw that Miss had unlocked the two ultimate moves in a very short time, so he specially sought out a famous swordsmith in the martial arts world to forge it for her.

The master was lazy and simply named the sword "Absolute Kill".

After the young lady married into the Marquis's mansion, she kept this sword hidden at the bottom of a box, but today she was asked to take it with her when she left the city.

She naturally understood what kind of sword her young lady wanted.

She tossed a slender, shoulder-high longsword, gleaming with a cold light, to Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen leaped into the air, caught the longsword, and unleashed the third move of his ultimate attack, a suffocating, overwhelming sword aura that hurtled straight towards Ye Yunheng.

Startled, Ye Yunheng retreated repeatedly, not daring to take the hit head-on. Realizing he couldn't catch it, he reached out and grabbed the attendant beside him.

Before the attendant could react, he was cleaved in two by a fatal blow.

The powerful sword energy forcefully suppressed the blood on his body, preventing any from splattering out. Instead, the blood flowed down his body, which was now split in two, and onto the ground.

Ye Yunheng, who was hiding behind him, was also affected by the sword energy and vomited a mouthful of blood.

He was shocked that Ye Zhen also knew the ultimate sword technique. Because of this shock, his reaction was slowed down by half a beat, and Ye Zhen, who flew over, grabbed him by the neck.

He heard Ye Zhen say, "Ye Yunheng! You're still alive!"
