Not to mention obeying Qi Yang's orders, even if the commander-in-chief asked him to die, he would not have a single complaint.

Because his life was saved by the Commander-in-Chief.

The commander-in-chief also avenged the 198 households in Zhaojiazhuang.

He is a grateful man, and he will do whatever the commander-in-chief asks him to do.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry. I will let you know when I need you to take action."

Qi Yang glanced at Zhao Shiliu. He liked working with smart people.

"Junior brother, do you want to take action?"

Tian Yaoyao asked, looking a little excited.

The action is finally coming, and she can't wait any longer.

This is the road of trial, and this time, Li Zhiming can't escape!

The humiliation she suffered from Mingzhu and Li Zhiming must be returned tenfold this time!

And the inheritance in the ruins will also be hers!

"action!"

"We must not let Li Zhiming fall into the hands of those assassins, otherwise all our careful planning and preparation will go to waste!"

Qi Yang replied, his expression becoming fierce.

Then he took out his jade message slip.

"The jade slip has responded. Peng Li has arrived at the second area."

A smile appeared on Qi Yang's face.

He passed the message through the jade slip, "How is it, have you found Qin Chuan?"

Not long after, the jade slip lit up and a message came back.

"No, but we found traces of Li Zhiming. Qin Chuan and Ming Zhu were not with him."

Qi Yang and Tian Yaoyao frowned after seeing the news.

"Junior Brother Qi, why don't we ignore Qin Chuan and Ming Zhu for now and attack Li Zhiming first. After we capture him, we can attack Qin Chuan and Ming Zhu later."

Tian Yaoyao said, her expression cold, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

"good."

Qi Yang didn't want to wait any longer.

In the current situation, the longer it drags on, the more likely something unexpected will happen.

Opportunity is fleeting, once lost, it will never come back!

Let’s take down Li Zhiming first!

"Follow Li Zhiming and notify me when he lets down his guard and takes a rest."

Qi Yang's mind moved and he passed the message on.

In the dense forest, Li Zhiming stopped walking and landed on a tree trunk.

Early this morning, he came to the second area.

The environment of the second area is very different from that of the first area.

This is a large and dense ancient forest with tall trees whose crowns block out the sun.

Although the environment is not as harsh as that in the first area, the pressure is higher than that in the first area.

Following this trend, the pressure will increase as time goes by.

No wonder, only a very small number of people can finally complete the trial.

Without sufficient growth and improvement in the Road of Trial, it will be impossible to enter the later areas.

Because the pressure there might be so great that some disciples can hardly move!

Li Zhiming regained his composure and looked at the jade slip of message in his hand.

As luck would have it, he had just arrived in the second area when he received the news from Qi Yang.

This guy obviously couldn't wait any longer and changed his original plan to attack him directly.

"Okay, wait for my news."

Li Zhiming replied simply, then put away the jade slip of the message, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"The show begins now!"

He whispered softly and quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, looking for a suitable ambush place.

…

After receiving the news, Qi Yang in the cave raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a sneer.

"From now on, we just need to wait for news from Peng Li."

"Li Zhiming, ah Li Zhiming, you are far from being able to play with me!"

A fierce look appeared on his face, and he couldn't wait to see Li Zhiming kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy!

Just when Qi Yang and Tian Yaoyao were secretly happy.

Zhao Shiliu suddenly opened his eyes and whispered, "Oh no, someone is approaching outside the cave!"

"There are three people in total, their realm is unknown, and their aura is strong!"

"Fifth rank, or fourth rank?"

Zhao Shiliu keenly sensed that someone was approaching outside, but the aura was a little uncertain and he was not sure of the other party's exact strength for a moment.

But it will definitely not be lower than the fifth grade!

"Fifth rank?"

"Minimum fifth-grade perfection!"

Zhao Shiliu reminded, his expression extremely solemn.

He is only at the middle fifth rank realm, but relying on his sword intent and superb swordsmanship, he can fight against a late fifth rank warrior, and can even defeat a perfect fifth rank warrior by a few moves.

Of course, this is limited to fighting against one person.

And now there are three people coming over!

Two of them are suspected to be fourth-grade strongmen!

If these three people attack him at the same time, he will be unable to fight back!

Zhao Shiliu's words immediately woke up everyone in the cave.

The other disciples looked at Qi Yang.

They are all Qi Yang's confidants, so how to deal with them depends on Qi Yang's intentions.

"Three people, huh? How high is the highest?"

"The highest is mid-stage fourth grade, it can't be any higher." Zhao Shiliu replied.

"Middle stage of fourth rank..."

Qi Yang's expression relaxed a little after hearing this.

If it is the middle stage of the fourth rank, it can be dealt with by sword talismans alone.

However, there are three people on the other side. If these three people fight with me to death, I will not be able to escape without using my last trump card.

However, the last trump card was specially prepared for Li Zhiming. It is too early to use it now.

But when it comes to a life-and-death situation, you have to use it even if you don’t want to.

"Junior Brother Qi, you go first. I'll cover you and inform Dai Chunyang and the others."

"Dai Chunyang had just left when the hidden killer showed up. Our luck is truly incredible."

Zhao Shiliu said quietly, holding a white cloth in his hand and wiping his long sword.

Although he looks so calm, his heart is actually already in turmoil.

It's not that I'm scared, I'm just a little excited.

This is his first time fighting against a fourth-rank master. I wonder how many moves he can withstand from the opponent with his current combat power?

If he can hold out for ten moves, it will be enough to prove that all his years of sword training have not been in vain, and he can die without regrets!

"Don't worry!"

"Senior Brother Zhao, please pass a message to Senior Brother Dai and the others. I'll go out and take a look. I have a sword talisman. Although a fourth-grade one is powerful, it can't do anything to me." Qi Yang replied.

"good."

Zhao Shiliu didn't say much and continued to wipe the knife.

The commander-in-chief had instructed him that during the trial, he should just follow Qi Yang's orders.

"Junior brother, I'll go with you." Tian Yaoyao shouted.

"OK."

Qi Yang did not refuse and walked out of the cave with Tian Yaoyao.

He looked into the distance at the dark forest at night. It was pitch black and he couldn't see his hand in front of him.

But upon closer inspection, there were indeed three powerful and strong auras slowly approaching.

Qi Yang shouted directly in a deep voice: "Since you are all here, don't be sneaky."

After a while, a deep voice came from a distance.

"As expected of an elite from the Punishment Hall, you can actually sense our presence."

"interesting!"

Qi Yang looked at the direction where the voice came from with a serious expression, and a sword talisman appeared in his hand.

He has made sufficient preparations.

If these three people acted rashly, he would seize the opportunity to detonate the sword talisman in his hand.

A fourth-rank strongman might be able to block it, but a fifth-rank strongman would definitely be crushed to pieces by the powerful sword intent!

After a while, three figures appeared in the darkness.

As the distance got closer, the three figures gradually became clearer.

They were wearing black cloaks and black ghost masks, so their appearances could not be seen clearly.

The leader's left arm was empty, and no one knew where the arm had gone.

"Who are you? Tell me your name!"

Qi Yang questioned, his expression solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Don't be nervous, Junior Brother Qi. I am Tian Kui. I came here tonight not to be your enemy, but to seek cooperation."

The man in the lead was none other than Tian Kui, the early fourth-grade warrior who had escaped from Li Zhiming before!
