"If a friend is willing to lend a hand and save me, I am willing to give 1,000 gold coins as a reward!" The golden armored warrior said immediately.

  "Huh?" Yuan Ye shook his head and smiled: "I'm just passing by to buy soy sauce, your martial arts skills aren't that great."

  The Golden Armor Warrior took a glance at the battlefield, but saw that the situation was even more critical. The poisoned Wu Jun had already retreated repeatedly without his help. The Golden Armor Warrior's abdomen was pierced by a sword and he lost his combat strength. The Golden Armor Warrior immediately said: "Friend, you are hiding here, we didn't notice it, do I need to say how great this hidden power is? If we save each other today, in Hunluo State, as long as there is a request, we will definitely satisfy it."

  "My goodness, such a big tone, is it true or false?" Yuan Ye immediately became spirited.

  The golden-armored warrior hesitated for a moment and said: "As long as the young master nods, it will definitely be done."

  Yuan Ye turned his head to look at the young man, a smile playing on his lips. With one foot, he kicked awake the little rascal who was dozing off behind him, and the little rascal almost fell over.

  "Ball brother, get to work."

  Yuan Ye and Xiao Hun Pao jumped down from the tree directly.

  "Kill!"

  A black-clad warrior suddenly rushed towards Yuan Wei.

  Whoosh!

  An arrow pierced through the air, and on the forehead of the black-clad warrior, a beautiful feathered arrow suddenly appeared.

  "Little brother, I saved you today in Hunan Province. Am I not like a horizontal bar that can walk horizontally?" Yuan Ye shouted to the young man.

  The young man also found out about all this and immediately said, "I am Xu Zhenjing, the second son of Xu Qianci, the lord of Hunluo State. As long as you don't go too far, I can guarantee your safety."

  "The son of the provincial governor, isn't that the son of the provincial party secretary and governor?" Yuan Ye thought for a moment and said "Alright, I'll save you today, but you have to agree to three conditions from me. I won't tell you what they are now, but don't worry, they're not excessive. As long as I can bully others and no one bullies me, that's all that matters."

  "You only bully those weaker than you, but don't let others bully you, isn't that a bit excessive?" The young man cried out in his heart, but seeing the situation, he could only shout: "Alright, help me drive away these assassins and I'll definitely help you."

  "Ball brother, up!" Yuan Ye no longer hesitated and waved his hand.

  The little rascal suddenly let out a loud roar and transformed into a three-meter-tall giant white demon beast.

  Roar!

  The enormous demon beast let out a sudden furious roar, and terrifying sound waves came forth.

  "It's actually a Wu Jun-level demon beast!" The black-clothed leader's face changed color, feeling that something was off.

  Suddenly, the black-clothed leader felt a strong gust of wind approaching and immediately turned to the left. In the instant he turned around, an enormous threat of death surged up in his heart. The experience of many years of life-and-death battles made the black-clothed leader quickly raise one hand to block his head and the other to block his chest.

  Pfft!

  The arrow shot directly into the left arm of the black-clothed leader, piercing it and even entering his chest by an inch. If not for his left arm blocking his chest in that instant, his heart would probably have been pierced now.

  "What's going on? I clearly dodged, but this arrow just happened to hit me after I dodged. How did he know I would dodge in this direction?" The black-clothed leader was struck again.

  "Death to the six-legged!"

  Boom boom boom...

  Suddenly a whirlwind swept by, one foot kicked on the chest of a man in black, taking advantage of the counterforce of this kick, the second foot kicked on another person's body on the other side, and so on for six kicks.

  Bang!

  A crisp thud sounded, Yuan Ye landed steadily, and in the instant he landed, six black-clad men fell to the ground.

  At the same time, from one side of the dense forest, a flurry of feathered arrows flew over, and in just a moment, seven black-clad men were shot dead.

  "Roar!" The massive white demon beast let out a deafening roar and suddenly charged towards the black-robed leader.

  A fully-powered Wu Jun-level demon beast, and a poisoned Wu Jun who was also injured! The black-clothed leader saw the situation clearly and immediately roared: "Retreat!"

  One by one, the black-clad figures immediately fled far away, their speed was so fast that they disappeared in just a moment, obviously well-trained.

  An assassination attempt ended quickly due to Yuan Ye's intervention. Yuan Ye, Xiao Mo Shou and Rui Xi from the tree all walked towards a young man named Xu Zi Jing.

  "Thank you for saving me." Xu Zi Jing bowed his hands to Yuan Ye.

  "Polite, polite." Yuan Ye smiled, his eyes glancing at the sword hanging from Xu Zijun's waist. The sword was about one meter long, smooth and cold, with a faint glow circulating around it, obviously not an ordinary item.

  "As agreed, I saved you, and now you have to help me three times, right?"

  Xu Zi Jing's face changed color, he wouldn't immediately make an excessive request, but having just been rescued, it was worth nodding in agreement.

  "Alright, first of all, give me that sword as a token of gratitude for saving your life." Yuan Ye's face didn't turn red at all.

  "This... This is the Thunderbolt Sword. If you've heard of this sword's name, you should be ashamed to want it." The old man behind Xu Ziying immediately became somewhat agitated.

  "Huh? Is it famous?" Yuan Ye saw the old man's expression and became delighted.

  "Famous? This is the treasure of our Zhōu state, and the divine weapon known as the Purple Air Sword. Treasure of Zhōu state, do you want it?"

  "Alright, I'll take him."

  The old man was overexcited and poisoned, and the poison attacked his heart.

  "Unbelievable, isn't it? It's just a piece of scrap iron, and you're being so petty. You just agreed to do three things for me." Yuan Ye said disdainfully.

  "Alright, anyway I won't be able to use any martial arts skills, keeping it would just be a waste, might as well use it to make some friends." Xu Ziying's heart was incredibly broad-minded, and with a heroic air he handed the sword over, "This sword is recognized by those big shots in Hunluo City, so if anyone asks, you can say I gave it to you. Otherwise, you'll have trouble on your hands. I hope you won't tarnish its reputation."

  Yuan Ye's heart was slightly moved, he took the sword and gently pulled out the treasured sword. A humming sound of the sword rang out, the voice actually spread for several minutes. A white gold light flickered faintly, the sharp sword energy made Yuan Ye feel fearful.

  "What a sharp divine sword!" Yuan Ye exclaimed, "You gave me such a treasure so readily. To be honest, I didn't plan to help you at first. Firstly, I wasn't sure who was good or bad between your two groups. Secondly, I'm not the kind of hero who rushes to help those in need just because they see injustice. However, if it's for my friend, I'll brave boiling water and raging fire without hesitation. This friend, I've made, is Yuan Ye."

  "Yuan Ye? What an interesting name." Xú Zǐ Jǐng couldn't help but laugh upon hearing it.

  "Come on, I'm already being low-key, can't even have a cool name?"

  "Haha," Xu Zi Jing shook his head and smiled, "I'm saying it's quite a coincidence, my sister also knows someone named Yuan Ye. Unfortunately, according to my sister, that Yuan Ye has poor martial skills, probably just a second-rate martial artist, far inferior to your cultivation, Brother Yuan Ye. What's even more infuriating is that that Yuan Ye is lecherous and deceitful, even my sister was taken advantage of by him, I'll definitely kill him when I see him to avenge my sister."

  "Ah!" Yuan Ye's heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition. "Uh, may I ask, what's your sister's name?"

  Xu Ying.

  Little Witch @ # (Percent Sign) & ……?

  Yuan Ye secretly wiped his sweat, how could he forget this, the little demoness was called Xu Ying, and she was also the daughter of the Lord of Luo State.

  At this moment, a guard walked up and knelt down: "Report to the young master, those assassins who didn't die all bit open the highly toxic poison hidden in their mouths and committed suicide. It can't be seen whose hand is behind this."

  Xu Zi Jing and the old man behind him both looked unwell.

  "General Jiang, you and Feng Yi are both seriously injured, let's head back to the city first and report to Father."

  "Yes." The old man bowed his head.

  Yuan Ye, Rui Xi, and Xiao Hunqiu followed Xu Zijiang's team towards Hunluo City.
