Chapter 176: Chapter 175: Killing a Noble

Li Yan didn’t understand what Gu Qing meant.

He wasn’t in the mood to find out, either.

He just wanted to get rid of Gu Qing and rescue Zhao Ji as fast as he could.

Gu Qing let out a faint smile.

Her waist twisted lightly.

Her lower abdomen tensed.

The faint outline of her abs became visible.

A finger-thick, pale-yellow silk thread immediately shot out from her small navel.

The thick thread plunged straight into the heart of the flame.

TSSSST! TSSSST! A sizzling sound echoed out.

Along with a plume of white, acrid smoke.

Li Yan cursed, "What kind of weird trick is this? Don’t you fucking know that flames are the perfect counter to spider silk? Just die already!"

WHOOSH!

SPLAT.

"Wha...t?"

The flame in Li Yan’s hand suddenly went out.

A strand of silk had already shot onto his palm, sticking fast.

The outside of the thread was charred, forming a thin, brittle black crust, but the core was still a chopstick-thick strand of sticky, pale-yellow silk.

Within a second, both of Li Yan’s hands were covered.

Then his arms.

"Why didn’t the flames burn through it? Goddammit!"

Li Yan tore at it frantically, but the chopstick-thick thread was surprisingly tough; he couldn’t break it at all.

The more he pulled, the more tangled it got, and the stickier it became.

Li Yan felt a wave of panic.

He immediately tried to use a Spiritual Technique to remove the Abnormal State.

But Gu Qing’s silk was a physical attack.

How could a Spiritual Technique possibly undo it?

Li Yan was still trying to think of a countermeasure, but the female soldiers beside him had already dealt with the Blood Race Warriors and completely surrounded him.

"Sister Gu, should we cut him down?"

"He’s a Hero. Should we capture him?"

"Does the Lord want a prisoner?"

"What’s the call, Sister Gu?"

Gu Qing wasn’t sure either.

She looked up at Zhao Chi.

She saw Zhao Chi controlling Qi Yue, who was brutally hacking away at Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji had fallen to the ground.

Kicking his legs wildly, he struggled nonstop.

He alternated between threats and pleas for mercy.

"Fuck! You damn commoner! I’m a noble! If you dare to hurt me, I’ll kill your entire family!"

"Stop fucking hacking at me! My Armor’s out of Durability! Stop, goddammit!"

Qi Yue hesitated for a moment.

For something like this, she had to confirm Zhao Chi’s intentions.

Qi Yue: [My Lord, should I continue? Or take him prisoner?]

Zhao Chi: [Kill him, quickly! Who knows what other tricks he has up his sleeve. He’s useless to me, and capturing him is even more dangerous.]

Qi Yue: [Understood!]

With Zhao Chi’s command, Qi Yue no longer held back.

Her face cold, she hacked down relentlessly.

"Aaah... You’ve hurt me! I’m injured! Stop!"

"I’ll fucking kill your whole family! Aaaah!"

"Don’t! Stop! I’m begging you! Stop hacking!"

"Quick... get me Treatment..."

Qi Yue turned a deaf ear.

The Iron Saber in her hand was hacked until its edge was blunted.

But still, she hacked, hacked, hacked!

Fresh blood splashed all over her face.

Her saber didn’t stop until Zhao Ji was beyond dead.

"..." Gu Qing watched this scene from a distance.

She said to the female soldiers, "Never mind. Kill him!"

Li Yan said in a panic, "Wait, wait, wait! You can take me prisoner! I’m completely safe to capture. I’m a Hero, I can’t communicate externally..."

Gu Qing smiled. "Hurry up and kill him!"

Li Yan’s heart sank.

But the dozen or so Iron Sabers and Iron Spears lunging at him silenced him forever.

SHLICK! SHLICK! SHLICK!

Li Yan died.

On the central battlefield, the battle was over.

Zhao Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Qing swallowed a Pill and gave everyone another round of Treatment.

Zhao Chi ordered, "We can’t rest yet. There are still over a hundred routed enemy troops. Everyone, find them immediately. Take advantage of their collapsed Morale and kill them quickly!"

"Yes, sir!"

Gu Qing quickly asked, "My Lord, that Female Elf Hero named Zuo Yuan is still alive, but she’s incapacitated. Is that a problem?"

Zhao Chi shook his head. "It’s fine. Just deal with the routed army first."

"Yes." Gu Qing nodded.

Soon, torches were lit one by one.

The entire territory was brightly lit.

The Harpies in the sky flew around chaotically, screeching, constantly reporting the positions of the routed Blood Race army.

The Naga Warriors on the ground had already intercepted and killed over forty, leaving less than a hundred enemy troops.

Zhao Chi and the others followed the Harpies’ guidance and quickly eliminated the enemy troops scattered everywhere.

The Blood Race’s Physical Strength was severely depleted; they couldn’t run far at all.

After just over ten minutes, all enemy forces within the territory were eliminated.

Zhao Chi had already left Qi Yue’s body.

His Spiritual Power was drained, and his body had reached its limit for pill tolerance.

Fortunately, the enemy was completely routed.

Gu Qing had also used up nearly all of her silk.

Now, she could only spit a tiny bit from her mouth; there was nothing more.

Tang Ruan was completely drained. Her Physical Strength was severely depleted, and she too had reached her body’s limit for pill tolerance.

Qi Yue, on the other hand, was fine.

Her body still felt light, and she could keep fighting.

The Female Soldiers were also on the verge of collapse, but they could still grit their teeth and force themselves to fight.

The Harpies and Naga Warriors also gathered nearby.

Zhao Chi pointed to the Southwest.

"We have a little over an hour left. Move into the enemy territory quickly. If you see any enemies, show no mercy. Kill them all!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Zhao Chi Army raised their torches and charged toward the Southwest.

The white Wall of Fog was still active.

The two territories were still connected.

Although Zhao Ji was dead, the connection between the territories wouldn’t be severed for a short time.

They could use this chance to enter and plunder.

But he didn’t have much time.

After all, Zhao Ji was a noble, and Zhao Chi was afraid some unknown situation might arise.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Boundary Lock still had over an hour of Time left, they would plunder quickly.

"Faster! Gu Qing and Tang Ruan, hand out the Stamina Pills. Get everyone to recover their Physical Strength. Prioritize the Soldiers!"

"Yes, sir!"

Previously, Zhao Chi had obtained 100 Basic and High Level Pills from opening Treasure Chests.

They had used up a lot during the battle, and not many were left.

This wasn’t the time to be frugal; they would use them all.

Zhao Chi recovered 10 points of Spiritual Energy and immediately entered Qi Yue’s body.

"Go! Enter the enemy’s territory!"

"Yes, sir!"

The opening in the Wall of Fog was very large, a full 100 meters.

Everyone crossed directly through it.

They immediately arrived in an extremely empty territory.

Weeds were everywhere.

Presumably, when Zhao Ji established his territory, he had also chosen grassland.

Unless there were special circumstances, the buildings in a territory were basically built around the Lord’s cabin.

And the Lord’s cabin was always at the center of the territory.

"You guys fly ahead. If you see anything, come back and report!"

"Understood! SQUAWK!"

The Harpies flapped their wings and flew forward.

Along the way, they met no resistance.

Those 400 Blood Race members must have been Zhao Ji’s entire fighting force.

Just now, while scouting with Gu Qing, he had overheard the conversation between Zhao Ji and Li Yan and knew that Zhao Ji had also just become a Lord.

To have 3 Heroes and 400 Soldiers right after becoming a Lord...

As expected of a noble.

So much stronger than an ordinary commoner.

But Zhao Chi had no time for reflection; he led everyone forward quickly.

Another ten-plus minutes passed, and the Harpies returned, flapping their wings.

"There’s light ahead, torches, SQUAWK."

"And lots of Buildings, SQUAWK."

"There’s a wall, SQUAWK."

"Lots of defense towers, SQUAWK."

Zhao Chi quickly asked, "Are there enemies on the wall and in the defense towers? Is the wall stone or wood? How many enemies are there?"
