Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 629 - 188 Nan Batian: Capture, Capture Dragon 18 Palms!!_2

Because this already signified that these people had defected. According to the rules, after the events at North Mountain were leaked, they were supposed to kill the enemy immediately, and if they couldn’t overpower them, they should have killed themselves to ensure that they didn’t implicate Nan Batian. Yet, here they were, alive in front of both armies.

That meant these people had defected.

A trace of panic flashed across Nan Batian’s face, but he quickly concealed it, casting his gaze around.

On the left was Liu Laoguai guarding, and Liu Laoguai’s strength was formidable; it wouldn’t be easy for Nan Batian to quickly determine the victor between them.

On the right was Chen Jiusi; his strength shouldn’t be weak either. Although Nan Batian could defeat him, escaping swiftly would prove difficult.

Breaking through the front was Qimu Ge, whose strength was likely comparable to that of Liu Laoguai.

Now the most dangerous situation would be if he was attacked by all three simultaneously. The optimal choice for Nan Batian was to rush at one side, kill them quickly, and escape the encirclement.

Therefore, he needed to pick an easier target to squeeze.

At this moment, Yelu was mounted on his horse and looked down at Nan Batian, "Nan Batian, do you have anything else to say?"

Nan Batian took a deep breath and said, "Lord Yelu, I’ve been wronged, I don’t even know these people."

Upon hearing this, Yelu looked at Nan Batian, "As the leader of a guild, deflecting responsibility in such a manner, does it not damage your dignity?" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"Lord Yelu, what dignity do I have? I am just a dog living under Lord Yelu’s favor. Now you despise me for being too old, no longer of use, wanting to replace me with a new dog. There’s no need to push me to death, is there?"

"In that case, Lord, I voluntarily withdraw from the Fishing Guild. The position of Guild Leader can go to Chen Jiusi. May you grant me a way out, and let me leave Mianshui, is that acceptable?"

Nan Batian looked at Yelu and proposed. Yelu’s face revealed a playful smile, "Do you think I would let you go?"

Nan Batian’s expression quickly darkened as he looked at Yelu, "Lord, we have known each other for nearly a decade, must we completely fall out?"

Yelu straightened up and stared at Nan Batian, "Nan Batian, I am an official, and you are a bandit of Jianghu. What kind of relationship do we have? Moreover, you dared to collude with the Zoroastrian Sect, secretly manufacture arms, and have repeatedly deceived me. Do you really think I am so easily fooled?"

Nan Batian’s face tensed up as Yelu declared, "Everyone listen well! Today’s inquiry confirms that Nan Batian, the leader of the Fishing Guild, has colluded with the Zoroastrian Sect and secretly manufactured arms, intending to rebel. Those on the left and right, capture this traitor!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding soldiers immediately closed in, including members of his guild.

Nan Batian’s expression changed; this was getting serious. Nan Batian, with a grim face, called out, "Qin Ying."

"Gang Leader!"

Qin Ying responded with a sinister voice from behind Nan Batian, while hiding a short blade within his sleeve.

"You, you must hold off Liu... wait, you!"

Just as Nan Batian was about to instruct Qin Ying to stall Liu Laoguai to buy time to crush Chen Jiusi, he abruptly widened his eyes as he saw Qin Bao from the Eagle Hall among the soldiers encircling him.

In an instant, Nan Batian became highly vigilant. If Qin Bao had defected to Yelu, what about Qin Ying?

Thinking this, he suddenly felt Qin Ying rushing towards him from behind. Nan Batian was startled, immediately turned around, and saw Qin Ying’s knife slicing up diagonally.

"Nan Batian, meet your death!"

Qin Ying shouted loudly.

Nan Batian’s eyes bulged with shock, filled with horror, "Qin Ying, you..."

With a roar, Nan Batian promptly dodged Qin Ying’s lethal blow. Seeing the attack fail, Qin Ying swiftly reversed his hand and stabbed viciously towards him again.

This time, Nan Batian realized the gravity of the situation and reacted with fury, his eyes burning red. With a palm strike, he aimed directly at Qin Ying’s knife-holding hand.

Qin Ying was alarmed, releasing the knife. Though he had a weapon, he dared not directly clash with Nan Batian, and promptly let go of the knife, shaping his hands into claws, unleashing his signature skill, the Blood Eagle Claw Skill, and aiming straight for Nan Batian’s vitals.

Qin Ying had cultivated the Claw Skill to the point where his claws, under the infusion of Gang Qi, were as hard as metal, capable of effortlessly crushing stones. If he grabbed a person’s bones, he could shatter them instantly.

Especially since he had secretly trained his martial art to the Ninth Level.

It was the most powerful iteration of the skill, and his current combat prowess should be on par with Chen Jiusi from half a year ago.

Seeing that his knife strike didn’t succeed, Qin Ying infused his claws with Gang Qi. His nails seemed to have elongated by an inch, and a dim black light emanated from them – that was the color of his Gang Qi.

Now, he aimed a claw at Nan Batian’s throat.

If this claw struck true, it would twist and sever Nan Batian’s throat, ending his life.

Nan Batian had just avoided Qin Ying’s fatal stab, and now he heard the sound of sharp claws cutting through the air next to his ear. He knew Qin Ying was striking again, but he remained composed, raising his hand in a gesture as if paying homage to Buddha, one hand vertical in front of his throat, blocking Qin Ying’s claw.

Qin Ying knew full well he was no match for Nan Batian; this move was more of a feint.

Upon seeing Nan Batian parry, he changed his assault midway, aiming his claw toward Nan Batian’s groin with intent to harm.

"Qin Ying! How dare you!"

Nan Batian, seeing that Qin Ying was targeting his lower body, flew into a rage. There was nothing Nan Batian hated more than blows to that area. Now enraged, Gang Qi circulated within him.

The Mystic Ice Power was activated instantly, and the air around him grew several degrees colder.

Cold Ice Gang Qi instantly shielded his whole body, and when Qin Ying’s claw met the target, it felt cold to the touch, unyielding. Qin Ying had wished to crush Nan Batian there and then.
