Encirclement and Suppression, Part 2

Zhang Rongfang knew very well that the real deciding factor was the outcome of the battle on Princess Yongxiang's side.

The real purpose of this encirclement and suppression is to target experts at the Three Voids level of emptiness.

The escape of the others will not have much of an impact, but if the Archbishop the Three Voids escapes, the harm he could cause will be enormous.

Moreover, he always felt that these high-ranking members of the White Ten Sect were just being surrounded here for no reason, without taking any precautions, and were just foolishly waiting to be besieged.

There seems to be a problem.

Would they really entrust all their safety to the Ling Ting's concern for the lives of ordinary people? Zhang Rongfang in their shoes; if he were a high-ranking member of the White Ten Sect, he would never be so foolish.

Although before coming here, Yong Xiang supposedly obtained top-secret information through her own informant.

However, Zhang Rongfang felt that there were definitely still variables! After patiently exchanging dozens of blows with his opponent, the Black Armored Knight was clearly exhausted and his breathing gradually became more and more labored.

Zhang Rongfang did not let his guard down. Even the weakest opponent could unleash unexpected and unpredictable tactics.

But before he could hear the other party's trump card, a loud laugh came from afar.

Princess Yongxiang swung her sword through the air, striking the Archbishop's cane and splitting it in two, completely separating the man and his weapon.

Just as she burst into laughter, sealing the victory or defeat.

An ordinary citizen, who had already collapsed to the ground, was now crawling on the ground in terror, waiting for the end.

But just as Yong Xiang leaped over him, the man opened his eyes, and his look of panic vanished in an instant.

A sharp, piercing sound burst forth from his hand.

Within one-tenth of a second.

The man leaped up like a rocket, his short knife aimed fiercely at Yong Xiang's back.

That was incredibly fast, and the timing was perfect.

It happened right at the moment when Yong Xiang was exerting all her strength and had reached the limit.

"Taijing Zi!! You dare!!"

The two Spirit Vein from the Snow Rainbow Pavilion recognized the person and, filled with shock and anger, roared and leaped towards the other side.

But it was too late.

Bang!

The short sword pierced Yong Xiang's back, but it seemed to be blocked by some kind of inner armor and failed to penetrate.

Even so, the immense force sent Yong Xiang flying forward before she crashed to the ground.

She experienced excruciating back pain, her internal organs were torn and injured, and she immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, the two experts from the Snow Rainbow Pavilion who had made their move were already engaged in combat with the person who had launched the sneak attack.

However, after only a few exchanges, both were clearly at a disadvantage. The difference in speed and strength was obvious.

If the two hadn't worked together so well, they probably would have been easily defeated by this person within a dozen or so moves.

"I will return the favor the princess bestowed upon me the other day in full!" The man who had attacked her laughed loudly, swatting away the two men with both hands before lunging at Yong Xiang once more.

"Stop him!!!" Princess Yongxiang shouted sharply, and without hesitation, she turned and fled.

She turned and ran wildly into the distance.

The other Spirit Vein all changed color, abandoned their opponents, and rushed towards Taijing Zi.

If something happens to Yong Xiang, they will all be killed because of the anger directed at them!

But it was clear that these Super Grade Spirit Vein who rushed there were no match for this person.

Taijing Zi moved with ease, as if taking a stroll, his palms moving so fast they were almost invisible, as if drawing Supreme Ultimate lines.

Anyone who stands in his way will be easily and severely injured and forced back within a few moves.

The three Spirit Vein Super Grade who arrived in time were quickly repelled. Two of them were killed once, and one had both arms severed.

If there hadn't been so many attackers around, Taijing Zi could have completely devoured them with his Spirit Thread and killed them all.

"All the Super Grade, bring them on!! Anyone who stops this person will be richly rewarded!!"

"Anyone who fails to advance in battle will be treated as a deserter and shall be executed!!"

Seeing that her Spirit Vein was no match for the opponent, Yong Xiang became even more terrified. As she fled, she kept screaming and giving orders.

Upon hearing this, all the Super Grade on Great Ling's side changed their expressions slightly.

The two people around Zhang Rongfang gritted their teeth and turned around, having no choice but to rush towards Taijing Zi.

Bang bang bang!!

A series of rapid gunshots rang out, but Taijing Zi had already dodged them in advance.

This man had piercing eyes; as soon as he saw where the shooter was aiming, he would dodge in advance. Then he would raise a Black Armored Knight to shield himself.

No bullet could penetrate the Black Armored Knight's corpse and cause him any further damage.

Soon, Snow Rainbow Pavilion's Spirit Vein was also easily knocked down by a few palm strikes, and he died on the spot, awaiting resurrection.

Then there are the newly arrived ordinary martial artists of Super Grade.

Zhang Rongfang saw that all the experts around him had rushed forward, leaving him alone to slowly engage in a grueling battle.

He clearly felt himself becoming more and more conspicuous.

Not wanting to be implicated by Yong Xiang, he decisively prepared to retreat and leave.

Soon.

The newly deployed Super Grade couldn't even last five seconds before being defeated and scattered.

One person was killed on the spot, and the rest were all seriously injured and fell to the ground.

That Taijing Zi was too fast; it was just a glance, and unless it was Super Grade, it would be an instant kill.

Even those who reach the Super Grade can only withstand a few more moves before their defensive stance is broken, leaving them severely injured and collapsing to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Taijing Zi caught up with Yong Xiang, who was slowed down due to her injury.

Just as Zhang Rongfang was preparing to leave, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that Yong Xiang was running towards him without hesitation.

"Zhang Ying! Quickly bring out the Snow Rainbow Pavilion Spirit Meridian behind you to block it!!"

Yong Xiang screamed shrilly.

Looking at Taijing Zi's ordinary face, his eyes gleamed with a resolute killing intent.

Without saying a word, Zhang Rongfang immediately tried to turn around and run away.

"If you dare to run away, I will ask my father to punish you when we get back!!" Yong Xiang threatened angrily.

The roar was accompanied by the Taijing Zi behind her.

Clearly, if the other party wanted to kill, they would have done so already; they were just playing around.

They are teasing Yong Xiang.

They were trying to drive her to a dead end, step by step.

Zhang Rongfang stood still, watching Taijing Zi and the other person rapidly approach.

He knew that even if he unleashed all his hidden power, he would most likely be no Taijing Zi for the enemy.

He saw Taijing Zi's murderous eyes shifting from Yong Xiang to himself.

Zhang Rongfang suppressed his murderous intent and rage, roared, and charged towards the two men.

Bang! He had only gone a few meters when a member of the White Ten Sect, who was running around erratically, suddenly rushed out from the side and bumped into Zhang Rongfang.

*Thud! Zhang Rongfang collapsed with a thud, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness. A trickle of blood slowly seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The two guards from the Snow Rainbow Pavilion behind him had no choice but to rush forward to meet Taijing Zi.

In any case, they couldn't just stand by and watch Yong Xiang be intercepted and killed.

Seeing this, Yong Xiang was dumbfounded.

Taijing Zi couldn't help but burst into laughter, and with agility, he easily shook off the two from the Snow Rainbow Pavilion, moving to the left and right.

Swish! His right hand gripped a claw, the sharp, knife-like fingertips firmly planted at Princess Yongxiang's neck.

"Still calling it?"

The still-movable Super Grade, the newly revived Spirit Vein, and the other surrounding soldiers—no one dared to move at this moment.

A group of people surrounded the two men, their hands on their weapons, trembling with fear.

"You've got guts!!" Yong Xiang said through gritted teeth.

"Your Spirit Thread have been torn by a third, and you still dare to launch a sneak attack! Let's see how you escape after killing me!"

Her words subtly conveyed a message.

Clearly, the Taijing Zi had also suffered heavy losses in the previous battle.

"I have always acted with integrity and uprightness. If I hadn't been ambushed by you yesterday, why would I have resorted to such a desperate measure?" Taijing Zi laughed.

He was clearly wearing a special mask, his face expressionless, with only his eyes revealing a variety of emotions.

"If you've got the guts, kill me!" Yong Xiang's voice was suppressed, her eyes bloodshot.

"I dare not act rashly against those of Royal Bloodline." Taijing Zi laughed loudly, "However, while I may be spared the death penalty, I cannot escape punishment."

Click!

With a sharp crack, Yong Xiang's right arm snapped off like a tree branch, leaving a concave protrusion.

Then came a soft sound.

A flash of light.

Taijing Zi picked up a curved knife from the ground with one hand and smashed it, breaking Yong Xiang's legs.

"As a member of the Imperial Clan, this injury shouldn't be a big deal for you, right? At most, it will only delay your martial arts training. Don't you think so?" Taijing Zi said with a smile.

Yong Xiang had no time to answer him at this point; the excruciating pain made her scream.

"You wait!! Your father will never let you get away with this!!"

"Let Zhen Ding Wang say these words to me in person," Taijing Zi said indifferently.

He was originally a master of the Sensing Gate and a member of the Secret Teaching Spirit Vein, and was wanted and hunted down by the Ling Ting for many years.

Are you afraid of this little threat? Taking Yong Xiang with him, Taijing Zi leaped into the air, using her as a shield, and sped away into the distance.

"Quick, after them!!"

The people of Ling Ting followed closely behind.

This level of engagement, from beginning to end, only involves a few minutes of change, but many officers and soldiers didn't even have time to grasp the situation before it was basically over.

Once the two groups had disappeared into the distance, the Prefect quickly led his men and troops in pursuit.

Even though I know I can't catch up, I must still put in the effort.

In the blink of an eye, the White Ten Sect members, who were originally under siege, were ignored.

The remaining forces of the White Ten Sect took advantage of the chaos to flee.

What was originally a siege battle was completely ruined by the intrusion of the Grandmaster Taijing Zi of the Sensing Gate.

Chen Han quietly walked to Zhang Rongfang's side and nudged him.

"Daozi, get up quickly, everyone's gone." He looked around and said in a low voice.

Zhang Rongfang slowly opened his eyes and glanced left and right.

The other experts who were also 'injured' were now crawling up from the pile of corpses.

Everyone avoided eye contact, quickly gathered their belongings, and, supported by their subordinates and trusted confidants, hurriedly left.

Standing up, Zhang Rongfang sighed and quickly left the battlefield with Chen Han, heading back towards Far Star Residence.

Inside the carriage, he quickly changed out of his blood-stained and tattered robes and tidied his messy hair.

"Alas, I wonder if Princess Yongxiang is alright. It's just that I'm powerless to do my best for her, what a pity."

Zhang Rongfang sat in the carriage, holding a cup of freshly warmed Mare Milk Wine, and sighed.

He scooped up a spoonful of freshly heated Mapo Tofu, put it in his mouth, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It tastes good."

Chen Han smiled to himself.

"I just bought it this morning. I had to look for several places before I found one that tasted good."

He paused.

"By the Daozi, do you think the princess won't hold us accountable later for such obvious perfunctory behavior?" He was still a little worried.

"You've done your best, what are you afraid of? I'm the one who should be worried," Zhang Rongfang said calmly.

"Didn't I teach you before? Go up and don't engage in the attack. Follow behind others, shout loudly, move slowly, and make sure your expression is right. Then, if you encounter any aftershocks, quickly crash into them."

Then, fall down frequently to build up injuries and prepare for the eventual collapse.

"Uh," Chen Han said helplessly. He could only manage to fall to the ground a few times; he was really bad at making expressions.
