All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

"The Holy Maiden of Northern Qi, that ninth-rank archer is a major threat to Northern Qi!"

"If you don't take action soon, it will be your Qi soldiers who die on the battlefield!"

"Miss Haitang, kill him! It's a matter of national righteousness..."

Just as he was shouting enthusiastically, Haitang Duoduo suddenly plucked a mushroom from under her feet and threw it far into Fan Xian's mouth.

"Stop yelling! It's so annoying!"

Li Chang'an told her to protect Xiao En, but she dared not act recklessly. If she were to accidentally kill Xiao En by Lang Tao, it would be a huge problem.

Yan Xiaoyi's arrow suddenly shot towards a veteran of Nanqing!

"Keng!"

Suddenly, a flying knife shot out from the side, deflecting Yan Xiaoyi's arrow!

It was Teng Zijing's secret intervention that prevented Yan Xiaoyi's arrow from being knocked down, which left him somewhat disappointed.

Li Chang'an said, "It's alright. You're only at the lower ninth rank, which is enough to deflect his arrows. When you reach his level of cultivation, you'll definitely be stronger than him."

Yan Xiaoyi was greatly alarmed. Could there be a ninth-rank master of hidden weapons nearby?

Just as he was wondering what was going on, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound behind him as an invisible sword aura struck his right arm.

Li Chang'an said to Teng Zijing beside him, "He has been seriously injured by me. Go and practice on him."

Sparring one-on-one with a master greatly enhances one's understanding of martial arts, and now is Teng Zijing's opportunity.

Teng Zijing asked, "Should we spare Yan Xiaoyi's life?"

Li Chang'an casually said, "If you have the ability, then kill him."

Chapter 109 Sean: Where Did My Grandson Go? Trading Heavenly Dao Technique (33)

Just as Yan Xiaoyi got up, he suddenly felt a gust of wind beside his ear as a throwing knife flew through the air!

He touched the ground with his left hand, and his body rose up, barely dodging the knife.

Ninth-grade hidden weapon mastery!

There are no more than fifty ninth-rank martial artists in the world, and Yan Xiaoyi has never heard of another ninth-rank ranged martial artist.

He drew his bow and immediately felt a sharp pain in his right arm. He forced himself to shoot an arrow in the direction from which the flying knife had come.

"Keng!"

The throwing knife and the arrow collided, creating a series of sparks. Both lost their momentum and fell to the ground.

The archer's arm was severely injured, greatly reducing the power of his arrows!

Yan Xiaoyi had no confidence in dealing with the opponent before him.

Then, a black figure, appearing and disappearing intermittently, came chasing after him from afar.

Yan Xiaoyi dared not be careless, so he immediately climbed onto his horse and fled back the way he came.

It's not a big deal if Fan Xian can't be killed, but I can't risk my own life.

Li Chang'an watched from afar as Teng Zijing did not give up, but ran through the mountains and forests, closely chasing after Yan Xiaoyi.

Teng Zijing knew that capturing this ninth-rank archer would be a great achievement.

The head of the former deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, the seventh-ranked person on the Langya Masters List, is quite a temptation!

Both the Northern Qi and Southern Qing border armies suffered heavy casualties. Uesugi Tora was shot in the shoulder and gradually withdrew from the battlefield under the cover of several trusted men.

Seeing that Sean was still being held back by Haitang, Uesugi Tiger was extremely unwilling.

"Father!"

Haitang Duoduo raised an eyebrow and said, "If you don't leave, I'll kill you too!"

Sean closed his eyes helplessly and said to Uesugi Tiger, "Tiger, this girl seems to be here to protect me."

"You should return to the capital first. We'll meet again someday!"

With Uesugi Tora gone, the chaos finally ended. Fan Xian counted, and realized that several ninth-rank officials had come today!

Wolf Peach, Begonia, Uesugi Tiger, Yan Xiaoyi, the man in black—how come everyone here is a ninth-rank official!

Fan Xian, who broke through to the eighth rank at the end of last year, suddenly felt that his progress was slow.

Several more Tiger Guards died in the melee just now, and Wolf Peach has already broken out of the encirclement and is charging towards Sean.

Zhao Da and the other surviving veterans only cared about Fan Xian's life and death, and did not help the Tiger Guards deal with Lang Tao.

Fan Xian said urgently, "Young Master Guo, have your men deal with Lang Tao!"

But Zhao Da shouted, "We took their money, we're only protecting your life!"

Fan Xian was speechless that someone was still concerned about money at this point. He grabbed Xiao En and ran deeper into the Stone Forest.

Guo Shao rushed out, shouting, "Follow him! We absolutely cannot let Fan Xian die!"

So, the group split into several layers and ran deeper into the stone forest.

Fan Xian and Xiao En ran ahead, with Lang Tao chasing behind. Hai Tang tried to stop Lang Tao, while Guo Shao's men and Tiger Guards followed at the very back.

As more and more blood flowed from Sean's chest, Fan Xian began to miss the powerful Black Knights!

They hadn't run far when they arrived at the edge of a cliff.

Sean said, his face pale, "You can abandon me, but Wolf Peach wants to kill me."

Fan Xian said irritably, "I was just about to abandon you, but then we ended up at the edge of a cliff."

Sean bluntly exposed him, "You're hoping for Chen Pingping's backup plan, don't even think about it."

Fan Xian's secret thoughts were exposed, and given Chen Pingping's style, he would surely have a trump card up his sleeve.

This isn't really Chen Pingping's fault, because Dean Chen had a backup plan, although the shadow is still sleeping in some stone pillar.

Wolf Peach and Begonia chased and fought until they reached the edge of the cliff.

Haitang suddenly felt a pain in her lower back, which allowed Langtao to rush to the edge of the cliff first.

Li Chang'an's order to her was to protect Sean, but every time she had a chance to stop Lang Tao, she would be gently struck in the lower back by a burst of true energy.

She knew, of course, that only Li Chang'an could have used such methods.

She really wanted to quit. What did she mean by this? She wanted to protect Sean, but she didn't want to stop Wolf Peach.

If they can't stop Wolf Peach, Sean is doomed!

She was extremely puzzled and annoyed when she saw Wolf Peach stab Sean in the back again!

Sean lost his balance and, as he fell off the cliff, he pulled Fan Xian down with him!

Seeing the two fall off the cliff, Lang Tao put away his throwing knife and then gave Haitang Duoduo a meaningful look.

He said with relief, "Junior sister, you've really gone through a lot of trouble."

Feeling annoyed, Haitang casually replied, "Of course, it was so difficult."

Lang Tao sighed and said, "You must fulfill the Empress Dowager's wishes, but you must also respect your master's wishes."

"So, you pretended to stop me, but you didn't actually use your full strength."

Don't worry, I will report the truth to my master.

"She had nothing to say to the Empress Dowager either."

Haitang Duoduo was full of question marks. How could Senior Brother Langtao make sense of this?

"Junior sister, the matter has been settled. Let's return to the capital to report back."

Haitang Duoduo dared not act on her own. "Senior brother, you should go back first. The Empress Dowager has arranged other important matters."

By the time Guo Shao arrived with the veterans and guards, Lang Tao and Haitang had already dispersed.

When Guo Shao saw the bloodstains on the edge of the cliff, he felt a pang of sorrow. The last straw to save his father had been broken!

"Brother Fan! My dear Brother Fan! You died such a tragic death!"

Guo Shao shouted with all his might, which impressed Zhao Da and the others. He was indeed a man of strong character!

Inside a cave at the foot of the cliff, Fan Xian cursed, "Is this person wailing at a funeral? What's with all the shouting!"

Sean looked at Fan Xian with a kind expression, which made Fan Xian feel a chill in his chest.

They're not related, but why does that expression look somewhat like Chen Pingping's?

"You're ruthless, yet someone is so devoted to you. You're definitely a promising talent."

Fan Xian ignored Xiao En's flattery, "Xiao En, if you want to die, then die! Why are you dragging me into this?"

When Sean fell off the cliff, he pulled Fan Xian down with him.

“I know where there are pits in the border area even with my eyes closed, and of course I know there’s a cave under this cliff.”

Fan Xian asked in confusion, "And then what? You pull me down and then catch you. Is that good for you?"

Sean said weakly, "Wolf Peach stabbed my vital points twice, I'm beyond saving. There are some things I need to tell you before I die."

Fan Xian, showing great kindness, helped Xiao En stop the bleeding, and Xiao En laughed heartily.
