CHAPTER 936: CHAPTER 936

On the summit of Hanqing Mountain, a few individuals were using binoculars to watch everything happening within the Fang Mansion.

Sword glints and shadowed blades amidst a bloody chaos, bodies falling into pools of blood, they watched with clarity, unable to help but frown deeply.

The ones dispatched to eradicate the Fang Family were merely minions; the true experts were up there, observing the movements within the Fang Mansion from the mountaintop, tasked with holding the line.

In their eyes, the Fang Family was just an ordinary family, their most formidable fighters only being Martial Arts Masters like Zhang Biao, who were recruited for a high price.

Such quality might suffice against the average person, but they were nothing in front of the Qingshan Association.

To annihilate the Fang Family’s descendants, sending those minions should be more than enough.

Unexpectedly, a huge twist happened.

It was merely the Fang Family, yet a powerful clan intervened—a force to be reckoned with. The Bai Family, the most esteemed Martial Arts Family in the country, actually sent people, quite a number at that, with as many as twenty having already appeared.

So many masters arriving in Qinghe City to the Fang Mansion, now that was troublesome.

The numbers of the Qingshan Association’s assassins clearly had the advantage, far surpassing the Bai Family sedantry, but the strength of the Bai Family descendants was overwhelmingly formidable, the assassins were no match for them.

In a very short time, several assassins from the Qingshan Association had already fallen on the spot, yet those Bai Family masters hadn’t been killed or even injured.

The Bai Family’s mysterious maneuvering skills and terrifying combat prowess were perfectly showcased in these individuals.

Truly worthy of being the nation’s top Martial Arts Family, formidable, terrifying, they showcased themselves thoroughly.

Faced with such opponents, the elite members responsible for overseeing the situation from the Qingshan Association were momentarily at a loss.

Should they quickly dash over to support and engage in mortal combat with the Bai Family masters, or signal a retreat?

The distance from the mountain summit to the Fang Mansion at mid-mountain was not far; rushing over wouldn’t take even a minute, and it’s believed the Qingshan Association’s assassins could hold their ground until their arrival.

But even if they got there, could they truly be a match for the Bai Family masters?

The Bai Family hadn’t yet revealed how many masters they’d dispatched; those already present were numerous, and the hidden ones were likely even more formidable.

However, if they were to retreat and return to the Qingshan Association, the elders would definitely punish them severely, something they could not bear.

After much deliberation, the leading Qingshan Association master decided to go for it, swiftly ordering an attack to rush to the Fang Mansion for reinforcement.

Shortly after setting off, their steps halted, gathering together, staring intently into a certain spot within the woods.

As Martial Arts Masters, each of their instincts was exceptionally keen, and they unexpectedly sensed an incredibly terrifying presence from that area.

The aura was chilling, sending shivers down their spines, freezing their bodies.

Terrifying, truly terrifying, how could there be such a fearsome aura?

Each of them were among the elite of the Qingshan Association, their strength, though not at its pinnacle, was unmatched by many. They had seen it all, yet never had they encountered such a formidable presence. Even without seeing their opponent, they were petrified, too dreadful!

Unable to resist anymore, a Qingshan Association master shouted, "Who’s there, stop hiding, come out quickly, I’d like to see which Bai Family master has arrived!"

"Hee hee hee, if you want an early death, just say so. I can come out easily enough, but once you’ve seen my face, you won’t live long enough to tell about it."

Accompanied by the voice, like a specter, a stream of light swiftly came upon the Qingshan Association masters, arriving within half a meter of the nearest person.

As the Qingshan Association masters saw the figure, their bravery shattered.

Oh no, it’s her, it’s Bai Jiu Niang, one of the Bai Family’s strongest!

The Bai Family has over centuries, possibly millennia, cultivated its descendants diligently in martial arts.

The present-day Bai Family, consists of three generations—old, middle-aged, and young.

The older generation of masters mostly faded from public view, living in seclusion; only Matriarch Bai remained in the public eye.

Among the younger generation of masters, the most famous was Bai Muqing, with a beauty that could drive one crazy at first sight and an unprecedented military might.

The true backbone of the Bai Family was the middle generation, having been honed over time, through numerous fierce battles, their skills had become extraordinarily strong.

Among them, the most formidable were ten famous women, dubbed the Bai Family’s ’Nine Beauties’.

The Qingshan Association investigated the ’Nine Beauties’ thoroughly, their masters had seen their photos, and felt immense respect for these extraordinarily beautiful and powerful women.

Upon seeing her now, the masters instantly recognized her as the youngest of the Bai Family’s ’Nine Beauties’, Bai Jiu Niang.

This woman had an innate martial arts talent and a coquettish charm that captivated countless men.

Yet, beneath the seductive and charming exterior lay an utterly ruthless heart; she was ferociously brutal in her killings, having previously led a mission to Wangdong Province to eradicate the Qingshan Association’s forces, many association members perished by her hand.

Even two Hall Masters fell to her, personally slain.

Now faced with such an opponent, the initial reaction of the Qingshan Association masters was that victory was impossible.

A fight against such an opponent could only involve the Association’s elders, the Saintess, or the leader, as they did not pose a challenge at all.

Failing to secure victory meant only one option: retreat. The Qingshan Association masters swiftly made the decision, immediately blowing an ear-piercing whistle to issue the retreat order.

Simultaneously, they moved with extreme speed, each fleeing in different directions.

No matter how strong Bai Jiu Niang was, she was still but one person. If they all fled with all their might in different directions, at most, she could only pursue and eliminate two individuals, allowing the others to escape.

Winning and fighting to the end was not a viable option; if victory was unattainable, preserving strength was a fundamental rule of the Qingshan Association.

The Qingshan Association’s plan was put into motion with a clatter, but Bai Jiu Niang was unfazed, not bothering to chase, instead leisurely stretching her body, yawning with her arms overhead.

Noticing that Bai Jiu Niang did not pursue them, the Qingshan Association masters rejoiced.

Ha ha ha, she didn’t chase, that’s excellent, seems we can all escape this time.

Filled with joy, they accelerated their pace, quickly covering over a hundred meters, on the verge of escape.

Bai Jiu Niang let out a light laugh, "You think you can run? It’s not that easy. If you’re targeted by me, Bai Jiu Niang, your life isn’t yours to keep!"

Accompanying her words, Bai Jiu Niang reached up, grabbing several ornately styled hairpins, and with a twirl, flung them out.

The hairpins transformed into concealed weapons, shooting out in different directions.
