The cloaked figure never would have expected that.

    He was clearly in a dominant position with his minions seconds ago.

    But with just a change of venue, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

    His subordinates were severely injured, and one was even captured!

    The cloaked figure genuinely couldn't understand what had happened.

    Why did these three humans suddenly gain such powerful abilities?

    Zhou Ying also didn't expect that Lu Jiaying and the other three could be so reliable.

    In an instant, they had disintegrated their respective opponents.

    The efficiency was truly terrifying.

    "You all deserve to die!"

    The cloaked figure roared angrily towards the heavens.

    This time, the mission was as simple as they come: a straightforward abduction of an ordinary person.

    Who would have thought it would be such a complex and winding situation?

    Not only has the task not been completed, but the target of the task has not even been seen!

    This is sheer shame and disgrace!

    Moreover, such a simple task has even cleared all the accumulated power he has built up over the years. This is something he cannot accept.

    In a fit of extreme anger, the cloaked figure brandished his twin blades and engaged in combat with Zhou Ying once again.

    Zhou Ji naturally welcomed the challenge, swirling his golden-handled small hoop knife into a blade blossom and advancing menacingly.

    "Old Lu, do we want to go over and help them?"

    Hearing the overwhelming anger in the cloaked figure's voice, the giant panlong tied the mantis demon using professional equipment while worriedly asking.

    Pang Long's worry at this moment was completely sincere.

    The cloaked figure's strength was inherently higher than the other three demons.

    Zhou Ying's strength was full of instability.

    That certainly doesn't give us much peace of mind.

    Lu Jiaying's eyes flickered between the cloaked figure and Zhou Ying, before shaking his head gently, "Not in a rush!"

    As Lu Jiaying spoke, his lithe figure retreated a bit, taking along Pang Long and Ning Meng.

    "Hahaha, not in a rush? You have no right to be in a rush. You don't know how terrifying the leader's strength is. You, these lowly humans, have nothing to understand!"

    The mantis demon, who was tied up, immediately burst into a mad laugh upon hearing Lu Jiaying's words. His tone was filled with contempt towards humans.

    Boom.

    Giant Pang Long kicked the mantis demon with his foot.

    Due to the binding of the rope, despite being kicked off the ground several meters, the mantis demon was forced to be pulled back to Pang Long's feet by the contraction of the rope.

    "Nah! Even being captured, you're not honest. No matter how formidable your leader is, don't forget, you're in my hands now. Whether you live or die is just a thought of mine!"

    Giant Pang Long spat disdainfully towards the mantis demon.

    He had made up his mind. As soon as Zhou Ying was on the defensive in the battle with the cloaked figure, he would kill this damned mantis demon in an instant.

    "Exactly, shut up. I believe Ying Ji will not lose!"

    Ning Meng also frowned and kicked the mantis demon hard.

    However, her strength was not as incredible as that of Giant Pang Long. Even though she exerted all her force, it caused no harm to the mantis demon.

    This kick was not enough to inflict any serious damage on the mantis demon, but it had plenty of humiliation.

    Being kicked by a person of equal strength like Giant Pang Long was one thing.

    But that he was kicked by a human who could be crushed at any time was intolerable.

    This is something no one can bear.

    Not to mention the arrogant mantis demon!

    "Scoundrel! You seek death!"

    The mantis demon suddenly stared at Ning Meng.

    The sudden scene scared the little girl and caused her face to pale instantly. She subconsciously hid behind Lu Jiaying.

    "Huh, are you forgetting something!"

    Giant Pang Long saw that his captive was still noisy, couldn't help but kick out again, lifting the mantis demon's body several meters off the ground.

    "That's enough, stop messing around and pay attention to the situation over there."

    Giant Pang Long was about to kick again, but Lu Jiaying casually stopped him,

    "You can kick when we're back in the training ground, there'll be plenty of time. Don't rush. The current priority is Zhou Ying."

    Lu Jiaying carefully observed the battle between the cloaked figure and Zhou Ying, noting Zhou Ying's deficiencies in combat techniques. His mind began to unconsciously plan several courses for Zhou Ying.

    Such a good talent, regardless of her stance, as a human, she is worthy of cultivation!

    Ding Dong Dong.

    The sound of metal clashing in the air never ceased.

    Innumerable sparks were bursting around Zhou Ying and the cloaked figure.

    On one side was the incredibly angry cloaked figure, and on the other side was Zhou Ying, who wanted to prove himself.

    Both sides of the combatants showed no signs of hesitation or retreat. They were completely focused on the fight to the death.

    The cloaked figure's advantage lay in his mastery of the blade technique. His two long swords were wielded with a strong, forceful wind, easily creating waves of blades.

    Zhou Ying's combat skills were always of mediocre quality, but she excelled in the sharpness of her weapon and her powerful self-healing abilities.

    After all this time, Zhou Ying did not feel any fatigue. Instead, she became more and more alert, and her movements even became smoother.

    It was as if she were born to be a warrior!

    "Wow, Ying Ji is amazing. Her swordplay is rapidly climbing at an incredible speed, almost catching up to that snake demon!"

    Ning Meng watched from below with eyes sparkling with excitement. The pale face she had been terrified of just moments ago was now flushed with excitement, her red complexion being quite charming.

    "Zhou Ying is indeed skilled. Haha, you see, right? Your leader isn't that great either; he's already been countered by our Zhou Ying in just a short while! Defeat is just a matter of time!"

    Giant Pang Long's demeanor had completely relaxed at this point, his body seemed to deflate like a punctured ball, reverting back to human form and then kicking the mantis demon again.

    "Haha!"

    The mantis demon coldly laughed twice without responding, her lowered eyes filled with malicious intent.

    Laugh, laugh. A bunch of ignorant humans. Once the boss reveals his true form, he will surely kill all of these damned humans!

    By then, everyone will get what they deserve—revenge for grudges and grievances!

    Lu Jiaying faintly looked at the mantis demon.

    He couldn't help but wonder where the mantis demon's confidence was coming from.

    But since the mantis demon was so confident in the victory of the snake demon, it meant that the snake demon had a backup plan, a powerful card that could turn the tables completely!

    What could it be?

    Lu Jiaying continuously pondered over the intelligence he had about the cloaked figure, his mind working at full speed, straining to recall every detail of his encounter with the cloaked figure.

    Ning Meng also sensed the mantis demon's confidence, her fists clenching subconsciously.

    She had worked hard to earn Zhou Ying's good favor.

    The big leg can't lose at all!

    Just as the three were focusing intently,

    The cloaked figure attacked Zhou Ying with over a hundred slashes.

    Starting from having to dodge, Zhou Ying was now able to block at least thirty out of a hundred attacks within the first hundred moves, and even counter with a dozen or so.

    This made the cloaked figure more and more surprised, causing his confidence to waver inside.

    With this woman's terrifying learning speed, it seemed like his defeat was inevitable, and he couldn't accept that.
