party will surely recognize him as their son. As for Lian Bao, he needs to be brought back as soon as possible. Thinking this way, Wu Yishan finally nodded."I understand. I'll do as General Du said. I..."Hand over the treasure map you have on you!"

Someone immediately jumped out and said.

Ripple listened to this, her eyes narrowed, and then she said directly:

"Who told you there's a treasure map on me"

"Just forget about that, hand over the treasure map and you might still live. Otherwise, none of you three will get out of here."

With a glance, Ripples scanned the group of people before her and then spoke in a soft voice:

There's only one treasure map, and you guys have at least three groups of people here. Who should I give it to

"Hmph! Don't you try to sow discord!"

Someone immediately said.

Liàn Yī feigned rummaging in the bag slung across her side, drawing everyone's attention. After a long moment, she pulled out a scroll and unfurled it before their eyes, even showcasing it to the surrounding exhibition attendees. Then, she spoke slowly:

"There's just one treasure map, it all depends on who has the skills."

As soon as she finished speaking, she infused the treasure map with her internal energy and hurled it straight into the crowd surrounding them.

Her actions immediately diverted the attention of many people, and they all rushed to grab the blueprint.

The ripples are what they were waiting for. He drew his sword and severed the reins, separating the three horses and carriage. Then, as agreed upon beforehand, Bai Long carried Wang Yaizu and galloped away.

Wang Yaozu's departure also made some people suddenly sober up. Instead of scrambling for the treasure map, they followed Wang Yaozu's direction and chased after him.

Lien Ri chuckled coldly. It seemed that those who wanted to kill Wang Yaozu were still relentless. Even though she had disguised him, they would rather kill the innocent than let him go. She wouldn't let these people get their way, naturally. She kicked up a pile of gravel with her foot and swung her sword at the group chasing them.

Wang Ya zu's heart was about to jump out of his throat. He didn't dare straighten up, his whole body crouched on the horse's back, gripping the reins tightly, allowing Bailong to gallop away with him, vaguely hearing the sound of horseshoes behind him. His nervousness caused a layer of white sweat to break out on his back.

With a few "whoosh" sounds, accompanied by the neighing of the horse and the curses of the man, and the sound of falling, the hoofbeats behind gradually disappeared. Wang Yaizu dared not turn his head back, letting the horse take him continue to run.

The ripples caused by stones brought down the horses that were tracking Wang Ya zu. Several sword energies swept across the pursuers, confirming that Wang Ya zu had successfully escaped. She then held her Lei Yao sword and charged into the crowd of people vying for the treasure map.

Wang Zhenzhen had long since shed her wide-sleeved coat, revealing a purple fighting suit that was perfect for getting into the fray. She drew a soft sword from her waist and joined the battle.

The two fought like fish in the sea, without Wang Yaozhu's burden holding them back. They were swift and decisive, cooperating seamlessly. Almost every sword strike resulted in one of their opponents falling.

Ripples hated being hunted, and this was clearly the result of those snakes from the Jianghu stirring up trouble. If she didn't stand her ground, would she just let them walk all over her corpse and escape unharmed No way!

Ripples moved like a swimming dragon through the crowd. Every time she drew her sword, it bloomed with a splash of blood. Before these people could react, she flung the sword in her hand. The Ray Sword spun and flew into the crowd, reaping the lives of five or six people back and forth. The rest were masters who dodged Ripples' group attack.

Wang Zhenzhen's swordsmanship takes a light and nimble approach. Her soft sword, like a snake, coils around her opponent's neck, armpits, chest, and dantian (energy center), aiming for vital points. The tip of her sword always bends unexpectedly, lightly striking fatal spots. Each strike, even if it doesn't kill, will severely injure the opponent.

And behind her was a ripple, she protected Wang Zhenzhen's back, not giving anyone an opportunity.

By the time those vying for the treasure map reacted, only nine people remained standing. The rest had fallen to the ground, either lifeless or gasping for breath. Some clutched at their bleeding necks, their faces pale and nearing death's door.

Wang Zhenzhen stood with ripples facing each other, a sigh of relief in her heart. She was glad she hadn't held them back. This was the first time she had been surrounded by so many people. If it weren't for ripples protecting her, she would definitely have been hurt.

"You vile temptress, you sow discord among us and then strike with ruthless abandon!"

A round, stout man gritted his teeth and roared.

The ripples wouldn't give the other party a chance to prepare, directly channeling their inner strength into the Lei Yao sword and slashing down at Yuan Pang with one swift strike. Before the other party could even change their expression, they gripped an axe in both hands, trying to block the attack.

Unfortunately, they were outmatched. Their weapons weren't strong enough either. They were split in two, blood splattering the surrounding people. Their faces paled, and they instinctively took two steps back.

"A bunch of scoundrels, daring to lecture me about rules When you came swarming us, you didn't think twice about your shame. Since you dared to surround and kill us, be prepared to be killed in return."

As the ripples of his words fell, he gripped his sword once more and leaped into action against the remaining eight.

"Don't be afraid, guys. We have eight of us. As long as we work together, we can manage."

Before the man could utter the word "death," a sword pierced his heart.

"Now there are seven people!"

Ripple said coldly and immediately lunged at a tall man who resembled an iron tower.

The man stood two meters tall, bare-chested and with muscles bulging like a small hill. Seeing a red shadow charging towards him, he immediately held up a round shield to block Lianli's sword, his other hand clenched into a fist and aimed at Lianli's head.

The ripple sword couldn't be stopped by mere shields. The shield was pierced, and the man's arm was also pierced. Before he could even grunt, a pink fist collided with his fist, and then his other arm and fist were broken, crippled. Finally, blood blossomed on his neck as he was cut.

As the ripples collided with each other and landed, she said:

"Six people!"

Then, with a swift counter-strike, he slashed down a man who was about to attack him from behind.

"Five people!"

The remaining five people were a little frightened, three of them exchanged glances and ran in the opposite direction. They didn't want to die here, besides, the treasure map was already with them, all they had to do was escape the clutches of the female demon.

The wind picked up again, carrying sand toward us.

"Auntie, these two are yours!"

With a ripple of her footsteps, she caught up to the other two who had fled just a step behind. Her left hand delivered a punch, and her right, a sword strike, injuring both before she continued in pursuit of their fleeing figures.

"Ripples, a sandstorm is coming. Don't lose your way, I'll be waiting for you right here."

Wang Zhenzhen immediately replied, her feet not stopping, catching up to the injured two, and immediately delivered a follow-up attack.

Of the three people running ahead, the slowest one has already been cut off a leg by the ripples and fallen to the ground, unable to get up.

The two people in front had goosebumps all over their bodies, they rushed into the sandstorm regardless of everything.

"Stupid!"

The ripples didn't pursue further, instead turning back to the place they had been besieged. Using those underworld thugs' weapons, they secured the carriage to the ground and then pulled Wang Zhenzhen inside, locking the windows, listening to the raging wind outside.

"Ripple, are you hurt"

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Where are those three people"

"One's caught, the other two are in the eye of the wind. I'll check on them when it calms down."stomach it."All of them were crying.If you don't shut your mouth, you'll end up in the sandworm's belly.Even ripples are speechless."Yes!"After a few breaths, everyone felt the tremor from beneath the...
