Upon hearing this, 001 immediately searched around and, after confirming that there were only these three people, told Qin Qianluo, then kept a close eye on the man in black to Qin Qianluo's right.
After receiving accurate information, Qin Qianluo whispered to Su Jinyun, "Sister Su, we'll each take one. You deal with the one in front of you, and I'll deal with the one in front of me. I'll use muscle-softening powder on the one to my right in a bit. There are only these three people around."
Su Jinyun already knew from her inner thoughts, so she didn't say anything more, just quietly agreed. Then she stared at the person opposite her, her face full of vigilance.
After receiving a response, Qin Qianluo stared intently at the person opposite her, ready to act at any moment. Neither of them planned to shout for help. Firstly, they were already deep in the hunting grounds, and no one would hear them if they called for help. Secondly, all the guards had been drugged, and they might still be drugged. They were fine after drinking the spiritual spring water, but the others might not be.
Without a word, the three attacked instantly. 001 also stunned Ling Wei the instant the three made their move. Although the remaining two were surprised and suspicious, they still made their moves swiftly and fought against Qin Qianluo and Su Jinyun.
Although Su Jinyun was a civil official, she had also studied the Six Arts of a Gentleman. Her skills were not as good as those of the generals, but they were still quite good. After all, she had practiced since childhood and had never slacked off over the years.
She was lucky to be facing Ling Xue, who had better lightness skills but average martial arts skills. She was able to handle her, and the two fought evenly, with neither gaining the upper hand for a time.
Qin Qianlu was not so lucky. She was facing Dark Moon. Even though she swung her double-edged scimitar and left afterimages, she could not hurt the powerful Dark Moon. At most, she was forced back a few steps, but Dark Moon quickly attacked again.
001 was secretly anxious, but there was nothing it could do. It had only just leveled up to level two and couldn't open the protection mechanism. It could only silently cheer for Qin Qianluo and focus on observing her, trying to find a weakness in Dark Moon.
The four fought for a while and then retreated, staring at each other with suspicion and uncertainty. Sunlight shone on the lush green field, and a gentle breeze rustled the flowers and grass. It was originally a peaceful and beautiful scene, but now it was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
Su Jinyun, dressed in pristine white, stood tall and straight, holding a sword that gleamed coldly. The sapphire on the hilt sparkled in the sunlight, making her usually gentle and refined face appear somewhat stern. She stood with her feet apart, crouching slightly, like a cheetah poised to pounce, her heart burning with rage: The spies of Xuanyuan Kingdom were so brazen, daring to openly attack Qianluo within my Tianxuan territory! Today, I will capture them alive!
Behind her, Qin Qianluo, dressed in fiery red, her black hair dancing in the wind, held a double-edged scimitar that gleamed with a chilling light. Her gaze was piercing, her feet planted firmly on the ground, maintaining her offensive stance, and she secretly resolved: she must not implicate Sister Su; she needed to find a way to release the muscle-weakening powder from her spatial storage.
Across from her, Ling Xue, dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit, looked surprised. Her long whip gleamed black, seemingly shimmering with a dark light. She leaned forward, ready to strike again, thinking to herself: This seemingly delicate prime minister is quite formidable. But for the sake of my sisters in the spy camp, I must hold her off and buy time for Dark Moon.
Dark Moon, clad in flowing black robes, her face like ice, held a slender, exquisite sword that gleamed with a cold light. Her eyes held a chilling glint: "Qin Qianluo's swordsmanship and movement are rather strange; I've never seen them before. But with my martial arts skills, dealing with a little girl shouldn't be difficult."
The four began fighting again. Ling Xue shouted and stomped her right foot, rushing towards Su Jinyun like an arrow. Her long whip lashed out in an arc behind her, then she swung it sharply, sending the whip hurtling towards Su Jinyun like a black dragon. The sound of it cutting through the air was sharp and piercing, leaving a black afterimage in the air.
Su Jinyun's eyes sharpened, and she swiftly swung her sword. With a clang, the sword and whip clashed, sparks flying, the sound echoing deep within the enclosure, causing the surrounding branches to tremble slightly. Ling Xue flicked her wrist, and the whip attacked again, this time aiming straight for Su Jinyun's lower body. Su Jinyun leaped away, dodging the attack, and simultaneously swung her sword at the whip. With a clang, sword and whip clashed once more, producing a crisp sound.
On the other side, Dark Moon moved swiftly, rushing towards Qin Qianluo like a ghost. Her long sword spun in a series of sword flowers, which pierced towards Qin Qianluo like stars. The sword tip cut through the air with a hissing sound.
Qin Qianlu frowned, her double-edged scimitar flashing rapidly, transforming into a blur of blade light, like a burning flame. Clang, clang, clang, the blade and sword clashed fiercely, each impact emitting dazzling sparks and crisp sounds.
Dark Moon's swordsmanship was exquisite. Suddenly, he changed his move, thrusting his sword at Qin Qianluo's ribs from a tricky angle. Qin Qianluo dodged to the side, but Dark Moon's sword was like a shadow, relentlessly pursuing her. Qin Qianluo let out a delicate shout, forcefully swinging her double-edged scimitar, which clashed with Dark Moon's sword again, producing a loud boom. The powerful force bent the surrounding grass.
On Su Jinyun's side, Ling Xue's whip became increasingly fierce, its shadows overlapping and enveloping Su Jinyun. Su Jinyun, however, remained calm and composed, wielding her sword in circles, accurately deflecting each whip attack with a series of cracking sounds.
Su Jinyun seized the opportunity, turned around, and thrust her sword toward Ling Xue's shoulder like a meteor. Ling Xue quickly parried with her whip, which wrapped around the sword. The two pulled hard, neither giving way.
The battle between Qin Qianluo and An Yue intensified. A hint of disdain flashed in An Yue's eyes, and her swordsmanship suddenly accelerated, her sword moves flowing like clouds and water, her attacks pressing down on Qin Qianluo like a storm.
Qin Qianlu gritted her teeth, wielding her double-edged scimitar with impenetrable skill, but she gradually found herself at a disadvantage. Several cuts appeared on her body from the sword, blood seeping out and staining her red dress. She persevered, resisting Dark Moon's onslaught.
