The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 395 This is indeed a fake.

"Master, retreat quickly!"

Arughtai's roar echoed through the night sky.

To cover her comrades' retreat, she resolutely stepped forward, disregarding her own life and death.

Facing Tao Akun's lightning-fast and deadly attack, Arutai showed no fear and shielded his companion with his body.

Her actions were firm and resolute, attempting to buy time for her companions to escape through her own sacrifice.

However, Tao Akun's power was too great; his palm strikes swept everything away like a whirlwind.

He knocked Arutai down hard.

Arughtai's eyes remained resolute, even as life gradually slipped away.

She continued to stare intently at Tao Akun, as if conveying some unfinished will.

"Arutai!"

Seeing this scene, Leng Feng was filled with grief and indignation, and his anger burned fiercely.

He roared and charged forward without hesitation, engaging in a fierce battle with Tao Akun.

Sword light flashed, palm wind howled, every move Leng Feng made was filled with anger and hatred.

However, even though Leng Feng had used all his skills, he was still no match for Tao Akun.

Tao Akun's movements were elegant and composed, as if he were toying with his prey.

Every counterattack was incredibly precise, forcing Leng Feng to retreat repeatedly.

Moments later, Qiu Langyu, Leng Feng, Zhao Wanqing, and Xiao Wan were all seriously injured and almost exhausted.

Their clothes were stained with blood, and their faces were filled with exhaustion and despair.

Although they resisted with all their might, they were ultimately no match for Tao Akun's unfathomable martial arts skills.

Tao Akun slowly approached, each step seeming so heavy, as if announcing the approach of death.

His eyes gleamed with a cold, ruthless light, and a cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"You...can't beat me!"

His deep voice was like a judge's pronouncement, sending chills down one's spine.

At this moment, Qiu Langyu and the others lay on the ground, too exhausted to fight any longer.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with resentment and regret.

Nevertheless, they held their weapons tightly, ready to face the final moment.

Tao Akun raised his palm, gathering immense power, preparing to deliver the final, fatal blow.

At that very moment, a mysterious figure suddenly rushed over from a distance.

It was Qiu Ziyue.

At this moment, life and death hung by a thread, and Qiu Ziyue's appearance undoubtedly brought new hope to her companions.

Seeing her companions' lives hanging by a thread, Qiu Ziyue was extremely anxious.

Without hesitation, she took out a delicate little bottle from her bosom and poured out a handful of "Sujin Ruangu San" (a traditional Chinese medicine powder).

This poisonous powder was colorless and odorless, and it spread instantly with the breeze.

Tao Akun noticed something was wrong, but it was too late.

The poison entered his body, causing his limbs to suddenly become weak and powerless, rendering him unable to move.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the fact that he had fallen for a poisoned scheme.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qiu Ziyue drew her long sword from her waist and approached Tao Akun step by step, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"You despicable and shameless person, I will avenge Tao Ling'er's entire family!"

She said through gritted teeth that she was prepared to end Tao Akun's life with a single sword strike.

However, just as she was about to deliver the fatal blow, a flash of cold light pierced the air, and a throwing knife was hurled at lightning speed!

Qiu Ziyue reacted quickly, dodging to the side, the throwing knife grazing her sleeve and embedding itself in the ground.

Upon closer inspection, she realized it was the assassin Qin Feng!

The cold-blooded assassin, renowned throughout the martial world for his twin swords and hidden weapons, had been lurking here unnoticed.

"Qiu Ziyue, you won't get away with this!"

Qin Feng's voice was cold and ruthless, and he held several throwing knives in his hand, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Qiu Ziyue was furious: "It seems you haven't learned your lesson from the shot Prince Jin gave you last time."

Qin Feng said, "You only gave it to him, but you didn't, so I'm not afraid of you."

But I have this.

After speaking, Qiu Ziyue took out the jade flute from her bosom and stared at it.

Qin Feng was somewhat intimidated and took a step back.

However, when Qiu Ziyue examined it closely, she discovered that this so-called "treasure" was nothing more than an ordinary bamboo flute.

In some places, it even appears rough and unusable.

Her face instantly turned ashen. She gripped the jade flute tightly, angrily threw it to the ground, and cursed:

"You old fox, Zhu Wen! I knew I couldn't believe your lies!"

We risked our lives to break into the palace, only to be fooled with counterfeit goods!

Qiu Ziyue was furious and was about to step forward to fight Qin Feng again, but Su Er stopped her.

Su Er stepped forward and said firmly:

"Master, you must take them away quickly, I'll cover your retreat!"

Qiu Ziyue was stunned for a moment. Looking at Su Er's resolute eyes, she thought that she could not linger any longer.

So she nodded and said:

"Okay, Su Er, be careful!"

After saying that, Qiu Ziyue turned around, helped up her injured companions, and quickly retreated into the depths of the forest.

Su Er turned to face Qin Feng, fearlessly drawing the dagger from her waist, ready to face a life-or-death battle.

Qin Feng sneered:

"You think you can stop me?"

Before he finished speaking, he had already launched the first wave of attacks.

Throwing knives rained down on Su Er, filling the air with sharp, whistling sounds.

Su Er moved nimbly, dodging left and right, narrowly avoiding most of the flying knives, but a bloody gash was still cut on her shoulder.

The two fought back and forth, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Although Su Er was at a disadvantage, he hurriedly used his invisibility technique, catching Qin Feng off guard and leaving him in a very sorry state.

Taking advantage of this brief opportunity, Qiu Ziyue quickly led her wounded companions away from the battlefield.

"Hmph! I'll spare your lives today, but you won't be so lucky next time!"

Despite being poisoned, Tao Akun still arrogantly threatened.

Qiu Ziyue, supporting Qiu Langyu, turned around and said coldly:

"Tao Akun, I will make you pay for Tao Ling'er's entire family's death sooner or later!"

Afterwards, Qiu Ziyue led everyone and disappeared into the night.

As night fell, the lights inside the inn flickered, illuminating the weary and wounded figures of the group.

Qi Yuxuan waited outside the inn.

After the fierce battle and the perilous escape, everyone finally found a safe place to stay.

The room was filled with the scent of herbs.

Qiu Ziyue was treating Arutai and his companions' wounds. Although her movements were gentle, a deep worry was hidden between her brows.

After everything was initially settled, Qi Yuxuan listened to Qiu Ziyue's account and frowned, saying:

"It seems Zhu Wen anticipated that we would try to seize the jade flute, and deliberately set a trap to make you think you had succeeded, but in reality, you were just disappointed."

Qiu Ziyue gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with anger, wishing she could rush back to the palace immediately to demand an explanation from Zhu Wen.

But she quickly calmed down and realized that acting impulsively at this moment would only make the situation worse.

She took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Zhu Wen's move was truly brilliant. Not only did it make us waste our efforts, but it may also lure us into revealing our whereabouts."

If he had already sent men to lie in ambush outside, this was exactly the moment he had been waiting for.

Qi Yuxuan nodded, gazing intently into the distance.

"Indeed, Zhu Wen is cunning and treacherous, and he will not let us succeed easily."

I suspect someone might already be following us on the street.

He turned to look at Qiu Ziyue, his tone serious.

"We must leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place to regroup. Otherwise, if they surround us, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from afar, accompanied by the rustling of leaves.

The men immediately became alert and drew their weapons in preparation.

A moment later, Su Er stumbled into the inn, panting and shouting:

"Something's wrong! A large force is pursuing us... less than ten miles away!"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Qiu Ziyue quickly made a decision:

"Everyone evacuate immediately! I'll cover the rear and make sure to delay them. The rest of you, follow Yu Xuan along the mountain paths, avoid the main roads, and try to shake off the pursuers!"

Qi Yuxuan did not hesitate and decisively replied:

"Okay! Twilight Sparkle, please be careful and don't take any risks."

The team quickly dispersed and each acted according to the pre-arranged plan.

Qi Yuxuan led the main force members to move quickly along the rugged path.

Qiu Ziyue and Su Er stayed behind, using the terrain to their advantage to set traps and occasionally making false noises to confuse the enemy.

As night fell, moonlight spilled into the mountains and forests, casting a silvery-white, chilly glow.

Ahead, Qi Yuxuan and the others were running.

Behind her, Qiu Ziyue faced a swarm of pursuers.

Her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a long sigh—

"Come on, what do I, Qiu Ziyue, have to fear..."
