CHAPTER 2159: CHAPTER 2157: USING OFFENSE AS DEFENSE

The Quanrong Clan members who appeared did not attack Bai Ruozhu and the others, but instead stood in place and waved flags.

"What are they doing?" Bai Ruozhu quickly asked.

Only Fen Jiu and You Meng had dealt with them before, and he quietly explained to the group, "The Quanrong Clan has few people, but their combat power is quite impressive because they know some very bizarre secret methods, which they call trick techniques. Waving flags is one of them."

Bai Ruozhu dared not hesitate, raised her sleeve arrow, aimed at one of the Quanrong Clan members waving a flag, and shot. The sleeve arrow quickly pierced the person’s chest, and he let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.

But the others kept waving their flags, seemingly unaffected.

You Meng laughed loudly, "Do you think our Quanrong trick techniques are anything like the garbage Jiuli Arrays? It can be activated even with fewer people and is completely unaffected."

"Bullshit!" Xiu Shao gritted his teeth and said, You Meng insulted the Jiuli array, thus insulting the Wei Hall.

"Humph, then let’s start with you." He pointed at Xiu Shao, and the flags in the hands of the other Quanrong members suddenly changed direction, all pointing towards Xiu Shao.

Bai Ruozhu felt a strange sensation rise in her heart, and the next second, Xiu Shao screamed, clutching his head and fell to the ground.

As he fell, the defensive array formed by the three instantly shattered, exposing everyone to the enemy.

"Xiu Shao, are you okay?" Another Wei Hall member hurriedly went to help him, and Bai Ruozhu also rushed over to check his pulse, but Bai Zepei spoke up, "It’s no use. It’s an attack on the divine sense."

Bai Ruozhu remembered she had a calming pill, prepared to suppress the curse she was under, and now it could only be tried on Xiu Shao.

She immediately stuffed the pill into Xiu Shao’s mouth, and because he was in so much pain, his teeth were tightly clenched. It took her a lot of effort to pry open his jaw.

Luckily, once the medicine went down, Xiu Shao’s cries lessened, and at this moment, arrows came flying at them again.

"Everyone, be careful!" Fen Jiu shouted as she moved to shield and quietly sent out a signal.

You Meng laughed loudly, "Your Jiuli Clan’s martial arts and mechanical puppets are formidable, so we’ll keep our distance and see how you fare."

Jiao Ling and Wu Wu, along with several mechanists, said nothing. They had already secretly released mechanical puppets for surprise attacks. As You Meng’s voice fell, the Quanrong Clan members behind him suddenly cried out, and in a blink, five Quanrong members were down.

"Did you really think the Jiuli mechanists are just here to idle around?" Jiao Ling replied coldly.

You Meng’s expression changed, and he glared at Jiao Ling viciously, "You’re next!"

He gestured, and all the Quanrong Clan’s small flags turned towards Jiao Ling.

"Watch out!" Fen Jiu urgently flew forward, but it was too late. Jiao Ling was inexplicably blasted away, tumbling several meters backward, coughing up blood.

"Aunt!" Bai Ruozhu rushed over and stuffed a pill for internal injuries into Jiao Ling’s mouth.

"I’m fine, just a bit of an internal injury," Jiao Ling said.

At this moment, You Meng noticed Bai Ruozhu and sneered, "Looks like you’re a famous doctor. You’re next."

However, this time the flags did not immediately point at Bai Ruozhu. Bai Ruozhu guessed that those Quanrong Clan members waving flags were similar to accumulating energy; after launching an attack, it takes time for the next assault.

The effects of their attacks were indeed unpredictable, such as the divine sense attack on Xiu Shao, and Jiao Ling getting hit by an invisible force, making it impossible to defend against.

No wonder it’s called a trick technique, truly deceitful and unpredictable.

At this moment, Bai Zepei suddenly rushed in front of Bai Ruozhu, blocking her, "Little sister, step back!"

Bai Ruozhu grabbed her second brother, "It’s too late. If I’m their target, I’m ready to pay the necessary price!"

She flashed forward, and even though Bai Zepei had outstanding divine sense, he could not match her speed in agility, it was too late to grab her.

Fen Jizhi showed a look of envy and could not help but mutter, "In just a few days, her lightness skill has improved so much. No wonder she was tested out purple."

But Bai Zepei and the others were anxious, fearing Bai Ruozhu would encounter unpredictable attacks. Fen Jizhi quietly thought: Anyone who returns from there, could they be ordinary?

Bai Ruozhu moved incredibly fast, effortlessly moving a few steps, already rushing over ten meters, soon reaching the position of the Quanrong Clan members.

"Lock the target!" You Meng pointed at Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu didn’t blink; she knew standing still was no way to avoid it. Since she had to face the enemy’s trick technique, she might as well attack to defend, pulling a trick back on them!

With a thought, Xiaohei and Furball charged out, Xiaohei roared and pounced on two Quanrong members, biting them down, Furball sped quickly and was hard to capture, in the blink of an eye, several were poisoned by its poisonous insect.

Bai Ruozhu scattered a handful of drug powder, swiftly swung her dagger, instantly attacking the two closest to her.

The Jiuli Clan members behind her just regained their senses and found Bai Ruozhu and her beast pets had already taken down more than ten people, instantly boosting morale.

"Zepei, protect the others here, let’s charge!" Fen Jiu said, attacking You Meng directly.

Bai Zepei and the remaining Wei Hall member formed an array, although weaker, it was enough to help Dengdeng, Si Yihuan, and others defend against stray arrows.

"Wow, mom is amazing!" Little Dengdeng shouted excitedly, Bai Zepei quickly gestured at him, and Nanny Zhang realized at once, quickly pulling him aside, whispering, "Young Master Dengdeng, don’t speak, or you might attract the enemy’s attention and distract the Madam during an attack."

Realizing this, Little Dengdeng immediately shut his mouth and cleverly hid behind Nanny Zhang, grabbing the sleeping powder his mother gave him.

Thankfully, the battlefield was chaotic, and You Meng was fully focused on Fen Jiu, not hearing Little Dengdeng’s words.

"Fen Jiu, haven’t seen you in a while, your inner strength has greatly improved. Did you practice some evil technique, absorbing others’ power?" You Meng’s eyes were full of hatred, Fen Jiu’s inner strength could fight evenly with his, why did Jiuli Clan members’ progress appear so great?

Fen Jiu spat, "Do you think everyone is as despicable as you Quanrong people? I’m gifted with high intelligence and talent, so naturally, I made progress."

This made You Meng’s face even uglier, attacking more fiercely.

And at this moment, all the flags finally swayed again, pointing at Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu had taken down more than ten people, feeling content; she had been holding in anger these days. Since she couldn’t settle scores with Jiang Yichun, these people came to court death, so she used them to vent.

But the next second, she sensed a murderous intent rushing towards her. She had already taken out one-third of their personnel, why was the trick technique still so terrifying?
