Chapter 2176 - 2179: Killing the Body, Destroying the Heart!

"Oh? Niner Mistress, I've been away, and you've been so rampant?"

At Qin Tian's signal, just as Huanhuan and Qiu'er were about to be dragged away for execution, the Third Mistress Gongsun emerged angrily from her hiding place.

The voice caught everyone off guard.

Even though Third Mistress Gongsun had altered her appearance, everyone instantly recognized her voice.

"The... Family Head... No, should call her Third Mistress."

"How... How did she... come back?"

"This... The Dragon Slayer Department is searching for her all over the city, and she still dares to come back?"

Everyone was stunned seeing Third Mistress Gongsun return, accompanied by a man beside her.

No one expected that Third Mistress Gongsun, who was wanted throughout the city, would suddenly appear at the Gongsun Family's estate!

"Oh ho, Third Mistress Gongsun, when did you become so shameless that you dare not show your true face? Hmph, coming back is simply seeking death!"

Ninth Mistress Gongsun smirked coldly upon seeing Third Mistress Gongsun and waved her hand: "Since you're back, kneel and accept judgment! Confess your collusion with traitorous parties honestly, and maybe this Family Head might show you mercy and plead with the Dragon Slayer Department for you!"

"Hmph, Niner Mistress, when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king. Do you think sitting in the Family Head's seat makes you the head of the Gongsun Family? You weren't elected through the family council; you're just a puppet and a waste!"

Third Mistress Gongsun didn't want to speak much with Ninth Mistress Gongsun; she clenched her fists tightly and said: "You've plotted to usurp and rebel; today, this Family Head has come to clean house!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With three punches, each carrying True Qi Shock Waves of a Great Immortal Realm master, half of the room was instantly demolished!

Ninth Mistress Gongsun was prepared; seeing Third Mistress Gongsun make a move, she immediately started dodging.

She sneered: "You dare return and stir up trouble, thinking this Family Head can't handle you? What do you think you are!"

Ninth Mistress Gongsun also clenched her fists, and Cold Ice True Qi instantly enveloped her!

"Third Mistress, you go save your two maids; I'll handle the rest."

Third Mistress Gongsun initially wanted a direct confrontation with Ninth Mistress Gongsun, but Qin Tian came forward and whispered a reminder: "You've already made a move and alerted the Dragon Slayer Department; we must act swiftly, or it will be hard to evade their pursuit with two people."

"Understood."

Third Mistress Gongsun nodded slightly, her eyes full of killing intent as she glanced at Ninth Mistress Gongsun, then turned to look at the wicked woman who had just viciously beaten Huanhuan and Qiu'er.

The wicked woman, leading Huanhuan and the others, was preparing to retreat quietly.

Third Mistress Gongsun rushed over and attacked directly!

The wicked woman was no match for Third Mistress Gongsun; in less than five moves, she was beaten black and blue, spitting blood.

Fourth Mistress Gongsun, seeing this, summoned a thin sword and growled: "Seeking death!"

She lunged rapidly towards the distant Third Mistress Gongsun!

"The one seeking death is you!"

Qin Tian was prepared, seeing Ninth Mistress Gongsun make a move to ambush Third Mistress Gongsun, he intercepted her midway with a direct side attack!

Bang!

Just as Ninth Mistress Gongsun's Swordsmanship was forming and hadn't yet approached Third Mistress Gongsun, Qin Tian swung a powerful fist against Fourth Mistress Gongsun's Sword Qi Shock Wave!

With just one punch, Ninth Mistress Gongsun was instantly thrown backward!

"Pfft!"

Her Dantian surged, her Qi Sea trembled, and Ninth Mistress Gongsun stumbled back several steps, vomiting blood profusely!

"Who... who exactly are you to her!?"

Feeling Qin Tian's True Qi Power, Fourth Mistress Gongsun was utterly shocked.

"I'm her man."

Qin Tian coldly smiled, talking as he heard the Dragon Slayer Department guards rushing over. Without hesitation, he threw two punches, the Fist Light like a meteor, creating a shocking Flying Immortal Realm impact that crashed down on Ninth Mistress Gongsun!

This was a battle of immense power disparity.

Fourth Mistress Gongsun's Combat Power was less than half of Qin Tian's. This strike, she could not stop.

Boom!

When Qin Tian's Flying Immortal Realm True Qi smashed into Ninth Mistress Gongsun's True Qi Shield, Fourth Mistress Gongsun, along with her Protective Shield, was crushed into pulp!

"Ninth Mistress Gongsun is dead, let's retreat!"

At this moment, the Dragon Slayer Department guards had charged into the courtyard. Seeing Qin Tian and Third Mistress Gongsun commit murder, they surrounded them at once.

Third Mistress Gongsun had already rescued Huanhuan and Qiu'er—under Qin Tian's cover, the four of them rushed out of the Gongsun Family's estate.

Huanhuan and Qiu'er didn't have high cultivation levels, but luckily, they had only been mildly mistreated, without injuries to sinews or bones, and could still gather True Qi for self-protection.

With Qin Tian and Third Mistress Gongsun's protection, the two broke out of the Gongsun Family estate.

No one expected Third Mistress Gongsun would dare to return home, so only about twenty Dragon Slayer Department guards were assigned to the Gongsun Family estate.

At this point, even with the Dragon Slayer Department guards accompanied by the Gongsun Family disciples, they couldn't stop Qin Tian's group of four.

At the time, in the Imperial City, four routes of the Forbidden Army were encircling.

Three teams from the Dragon Slayer Department were quickly gathering towards the Gongsun Family.

"It seems we can't leave together. Here's what we'll do: you take them north to escape quietly and find a chance to change their appearances. I'll head east; we'll meet at the temple where I healed you last time."

Seeing enemies closing in from all sides, Qin Tian wasn't worried about himself but was concerned about the safety of Third Mistress Gongsun's group, so he decided to distract the enemies himself to divert attention from the three of them.

"Master, that's too dangerous."

Third Mistress Gongsun stared at Qin Tian, saying,

"Hmph, what's dangerous about it? Fourth Mistress Gongsun couldn't withstand two moves from me. I'll draw away the Dragon Slayer Department and the Forbidden Army—not to escape, but to execute our second plan. Did you forget?"

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Third Mistress Gongsun was stunned.

The second plan, to kill Cao Shixun of the Dragon Slayer Department!

At this point, could Qin Tian still evade enemy pursuit, and in the midst of thousands of troops, take the enemy general's head?

"Alright, Master, take care!"

Trusting in Qin Tian's abilities, Third Mistress Gongsun no longer hesitated. She took Huanhuan and Qiu'er north to escape quietly, entering the alleys of the residential area, which was the hardest for enemies to chase them in.

After Third Mistress Gongsun's group of three moved far away and Qin Tian saw some heading in their direction, he immediately stepped in to intercept the attackers!

At the same time, he put on the Iron-masked Dragon King mask, his True Qi-powered voice spreading across the city: "Iron-masked Dragon King is here; if you wish to die, come forth!"

Such an arrogant statement, aimed at the tens of thousands of Forbidden Army troops and more than a thousand Dragon Slayer Department guards, instantly caught the attention of nearly all enemies!
