However, Bi Huan had already anticipated his retreat.
Having fought countless battles not only enhanced his cultivation but also sharpened his combat experience. For instance, he judged the killing power of his spear based on experience; it was all-encompassing, and ordinary divine abilities could not block it. Therefore, in most situations, enemies would choose to dodge left or right.
Thus, the remaining task was to closely monitor his movements. If there was the slightest sign of him shifting left, Bi Huan would pursue him to the left. If the opponent showed any inclination to shift right, Bi Huan would pursue him to the right.
At this moment, Mo Qi dodged to the right, and Bi Huan immediately redirected his spear, thrusting towards the right.
The spear, enveloped in blue light, drew an oval arc through the air and lunged at Mo Qi.
Mo Qi dared not unleash the Green Lotus Fire again. Although the Green Lotus Fire possessed strong destructive power, it was far inferior to the sharpness of the golden spear. This was because the golden spear was a physical weapon, possessing an inherent advantage in piercing any divine ability.
Physical against physical was not so disadvantageous!
Therefore, Mo Qi took out the Sky-Opening Axe, retreated, and simultaneously swung the axe down.
Bang bang bang!
In the blink of an eye, they exchanged blows more than ten times.
Golden light flashed, sparks flew, and fragments of white and blue energy rippled through the air, dazzling the eyes.
The overflowing divine abilities continuously landed on the ground. Wherever they passed, explosions erupted, energy surged erratically, cracks and large pits appeared in the ground, and flying sand and stones filled the air.
Chang Yu Ning and the other two continuously flew further away, dodging the divine abilities that reverberated from mid-air, making them appear quite disheveled.
Chang Xun Huan watched Mo Qi's elegant posture and said to Chang Yu Ning, "I never thought this beggar would be so formidable."
"He is not a beggar, and you haven't even seen his true capabilities."
"However, with his strength alone, he still cannot contend with the entire Ni family. Our fate is ultimately unchangeable."
"Without resistance, change is impossible. But if we dare to resist, there will always be a chance."
"An ant trying to shake a tree, where is the chance?"
Chang Yu Ning suddenly recalled Bi Huan's words. At this very moment, the Chang family was likely suffering a devastating blow.
"Father, I want to go back to find my mother," Chang Yu Ning said to Chang Shi.
At this moment, Chang Shi, hiding behind a large rock, peeked out and said, "Don't go back. Going back is just seeking death. Moreover, with their combat power, dealing with our family is as easy as blowing out a candle. So, it might be too late to go back now. You'll only see corpses everywhere and add to your sorrow."
"If you don't go, I'll go back alone." Chang Yu Ning sprang up and sped away into the distance.
Chang Xun Huan shouted, "Yu Ning, wait for me! I'll go back with you," and also followed in Chang Yu Ning's direction, speeding away.
Bi Huan and Mo Qi grew increasingly alarmed as they fought. Initially, he had expected a crushing victory, but to his surprise, after their first exchange, he realized he couldn't defeat him.
This was too absurd. Was this the level a beggar should possess?
However, he still firmly believed that he would eventually capture him; it was only a matter of time.
This was because the golden spear would become increasingly sharp and fluid as time passed, gradually gaining the upper hand until he was pierced like a honeycomb.
At this moment, Mo Qi saw Chang Yu Ning and Chang Xun Huan fleeing into the distance. A plan suddenly formed in his mind, and he shouted into the distance, "Hurry and escape, flee to a place they can't find, as far as possible, so they can never find you."
Bi Huan's emotions were indeed stirred.
He became anxious: if he couldn't even kill these few people, how could he report back to the Prince?
So, he turned to look in the direction Chang Yu Ning was fleeing, and the sharpness of his attacks was significantly weakened.
Seizing this opportunity, Mo Qi unleashed his spatial technique, tore open space, and vanished before Bi Huan's eyes.
Bi Huan's spear struck empty air, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
Relying on his prediction, he immediately turned and thrust his spear.
He still missed!
Bi Huan immediately sensed that something was amiss, even having a premonition of impending death.
It had to be said, his premonition was quite accurate.
At this moment, the space behind him was forcefully torn open and spread towards him. An axe descended from the sky, cleaving Bi Huan in two from head to toe.
Bi Huan's eyes widened like light bulbs, almost popping out of their sockets.
He never dreamed that he would be killed by a beggar.
He mumbled, "You are not a beggar," and then his two halves fell to the ground simultaneously.
Mo Qi found his golden spear to be quite good, so he walked over, picked it up, and tossed it into his storage bag.
At this moment, Chang Shi emerged from behind the large rock, looking up at Mo Qi obsequiously, "Son-in-law, you're good. You've been hiding your strength well. It seems Yu Ning will be blessed to be with you."
Mo Qi waved his hand, "Don't call me that. Who is your son-in-law? Your son-in-law is in the Ni family. Go find him quickly."
Chang Shi's face turned ashen, and he said awkwardly, "Oh dear, there are no grudges that last overnight between relatives. I was indeed wrong before. I was greedy and opportunistic, and I fawned over the powerful. But now I've seen the light, haven't I? I've reformed, haven't I? You can't be so petty! Be magnanimous. You are the one who will lead my Chang family to rise again in the future."
Mo Qi, too lazy to waste words with him, sprang up and flew towards the Chang family's direction.
Chang Shi also immediately followed closely behind.
At this time, at the Chang family's residence, as everyone had expected, the Chang family members had been slaughtered.
When Chang Yu Ning and Chang Xun Huan rushed back, Hao Xin Tong and others had already left, returning to report.
Chang Yu Ning looked at the corpses strewn everywhere, tears streaming down her face. Finally, she hugged her mother, Tang Qing, and cried heartbrokenly.
Chang Xun Huan stood beside her, staring blankly, his face devoid of any will to live.
A moment later, a group of rogue cultivators barged in, unscrupulously searching every room.
Chang Yu Ning remained oblivious, as if seeing nothing, still holding her mother's corpse and weeping uncontrollably.
Chang Xun Huan patted Chang Yu Ning's shoulder, "Let's go quickly. The dead cannot be brought back to life, and grieving is useless. If we don't leave soon, those people might harm you."
Chang Yu Ning ignored him.
The rogue cultivators searched around, hoping to find cultivation resources like secret manuals or elixirs, but found nothing.
A crooked-browed Taoist, after searching for a long time, emerged from a room, cursing, "Such a large Chang family, and yet not a single thing catches my eye."
Meanwhile, two other young men's eyes lit up as they walked towards Chang Yu Ning, "I've found something that catches my eye."
Chang Xun Huan immediately blocked Chang Yu Ning's path, "You can take anything in this house. Take what you want and leave quickly. Don't cause trouble."
The words of the two young men attracted others, and soon everyone gathered around.
The two young men each delivered a kick, sending Chang Xun Huan flying, "What are you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
With Chang Xun Huan no longer a barrier, Chang Yu Ning's peerless beauty was revealed to everyone.
Despite the mess and devastation, it could not conceal the fragrance she exuded.
"Oh my, isn't this the legendary Third Miss?" one of the young men exclaimed in surprise.
Chang Yu Ning stood up and slowly walked towards the crowd, even voluntarily stepping into the encirclement.
Chang Xun Huan watched, dumbfounded. What was she doing?
"I am Chang Yu Ning. Who wants to come first?" Chang Yu Ning brushed a stray strand of hair from her temple. Her resentful tone and gentle movements gave her a captivating aura.
These people were immediately bewitched, exchanging glances with each other.
Then, they began to fight amongst themselves, descending into chaos.
The crooked-browed Taoist, being more experienced, after taking a few punches from two people surrounding him, voluntarily retreated to the rooftop and said, "Brothers, don't fall for it. This woman is using a stratagem of sowing discord, trying to make us kill each other."
Who knew that the two people would still pursue him relentlessly, chasing him onto the rooftop, "Do you think we don't know? Who wouldn't see through such a simple stratagem? I'm just playing along. Because whether she uses a stratagem or not, I intend to kill the others. The spoils of victory belong to the victor."
"They've gone mad, truly mad." The crooked-browed Taoist sprang up and left.
Women were important, but life was more important than women.
Thus, the two who had been chasing him began to fight each other again.
Chang Xun Huan watched these people turn on each other and secretly praised Chang Yu Ning's skillful tactics.
A moment later, three more people left one after another, and four people died in the melee.
The remaining two young men were engaged in a final, desperate struggle.
Both were covered in wounds, like frenzied beasts, tearing at each other.
Chang Yu Ning and Chang Xun Huan watched them fight without blinking, their faces expressionless.
"Third Miss, your methods are impressive. It seems I was worrying for nothing," a voice suddenly came from the rooftop.
Chang Yu Ning and Chang Xun Huan both turned to look at him, still expressionless.
The person on the rooftop was none other than Mo Qi.
He had actually arrived some time ago. He had intended to help, but later realized he couldn't, as they had already resolved the situation themselves.
At this moment, the two young men suddenly realized that the situation in the arena had quietly changed.
Initially, their side had firmly controlled the initiative, but at this moment, looking back, they realized they were in a perilous situation.
These two stopped fighting, and as if covering their ears to steal a bell, they slowly walked towards the door.
"Aren't you going to kill them?" Chang Yu Ning looked up, gazing at Mo Qi with a melancholic expression.
Mo Qi's heart jolted, feeling as if it had been fiercely gripped.
He shook his head, trying to maintain his composure.
He was certain this was not some charm technique, yet it possessed a greater destructive power than any charm.
"If I kill them, then others will kill me?" Mo Qi chuckled. "I didn't expect you to be plotting against me."
Chang Yu Ning's expression froze for a moment, then she said innocently, "No, I genuinely feel that we are on the same side."
Mo Qi merely stared at her, his eyes full of distrust.
At this moment, two spells were cast from the doorway, hitting the two rogue cultivators without exception and killing them.
Chang Shi appeared at the doorway, his face filled with grief and indignation, "You people are utterly wicked. I will tear you limb from limb."
Then he walked over and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the bodies of the two.
Mo Qi looked at Chang Yu Ning, "Hurry and escape. I killed Bi Huan, and there will surely be continuous pursuers coming. By then, you won't be able to fly even with wings."
