People in Qin Dynasty: Opening the treasure chest, I took off!

Chapter 69 First Clash

He knew he had no choice.

"Okay," he finally said, "I promise you."

……

Half an hour later.

Xia Bing walked out of the teahouse with a piece of intelligence in her hand.

"How is it?" Zi Nu went up to greet her.

"All done." Xia Bing waved the intelligence report in her hand. "I have all of Nightfall's intelligence networks."

"So fast?" Zi Nu was somewhat surprised.

"The man in the straw raincoat is very pragmatic," Xia Bing smiled. "He knows that going against me will end badly, so he chose to cooperate."

"So he'll listen to you from now on?"

"Not necessarily." Xia Bing shook her head, "But that's not important. What's important is that I now know everything about Nightfall."

"With this intelligence, Ji Wuye is practically blind," Zi Nu said.

"That's right." Xia Bing nodded. "Next, we just have to wait for Tianze and Ji Wuye to turn against each other."

"You're really amazing." Zi Nu looked at him, her eyes full of admiration.

"It's alright." Xia Bing smiled at her. "Let's go back and rest."

"Um."

The two left side by side.

In the darkness of night, the sighs of a man in a straw raincoat echoed from the teahouse.

He knew that his era had come to an end.

the next day.

Tianze led Yan Lingji and the others to Zilan Pavilion.

"Xia Bing," Tianze spoke, his voice icy, "Let's settle this once and for all."

"Settle things off?" Xia Bing looked at him. "What do you mean by 'settle things off'?"

"A battle to the death." A glint of killing intent flashed in Tianze's eyes. "It's either you or me."

"Such arrogance." Xia Bing chuckled. "Crown Prince Tianze, are you sure you want to fight me?"

"I'm certain," Tianze said in a deep voice. "You stole my people and ruined my cooperation with Ji Wuye. This score must be settled today."

"Stole your person?" Xia Bing raised an eyebrow. "You mean Yan Lingji?"

Tianze didn't speak, but his silence was the best answer.

"Yan Ling Ji is not a commodity," Xia Bing said calmly. "She is a human being with the right to choose her own life."

"She's mine!" Tianze roared. "She has to listen to me!"

"Really?" Xia Bing turned to Yan Lingji. "Yan Lingji, tell me yourself. Are you willing to follow Tianze?"

Yan Lingji looked at Tianze, then at Xia Bing, a hint of struggle flashing in her eyes.

"Yan Ling Ji!" Tian Ze roared, "You want to betray me?!"

"I......"

Yan Lingji bit her lip and finally lowered her head.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry."

"What did you say?!" Tianze's face instantly turned ashen.

"I said, I'm sorry." Yan Lingji raised her head, looking directly at Tianze. "I don't want to follow you anymore."

"you......"

A hint of killing intent flashed in Tianze's eyes.

"Yan Ling Ji, do you know the consequences of betraying me?!"

"I know," Yan Lingji's voice was calm, "but I don't regret it."

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" Tianze said three times. "Since you're determined to betray me, don't blame me for being impolite!"

He raised his hand, and a black light condensed in his palm.

"Tianze."

Xia Bing suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

"If you want to fight, I'm ready." Xia Bing stood with her hands behind her back. "But Yan Lingji is innocent."

"Innocent?" Tianze sneered. "None of those who betrayed me are innocent!"

"Then let me see what you're capable of."

Xia Bing raised her hand, and a golden light condensed in her palm.

"Xia Bing!" Tianze roared, "You really think I'm afraid of you?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Xia Bing and slapped him in the chest.

This palm strike carried overwhelming killing intent, as if it intended to kill Xia Bing instantly.

But Xia Bing remained standing still, motionless.

Just as Tianze's palm was about to touch him, he gently raised his hand and blocked it.

"Bang!"

The two palms met, and an invisible wave of energy spread outwards.

Tianze took three steps back, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

He hadn't expected Xia Bing to be so strong.

"Again!"

Instead of retreating, he advanced, each palm strike aimed at Xia Bing, seeking to kill her.

But Xia Bing always managed to block his attacks at the most crucial moments, each time with ease and nonchalance.

"That's enough!"

Tianze shouted loudly, unleashing all the true energy within his body.

A black light surged from his body, transforming into a giant black python that lunged at Xia Bing.

"The Secret Technique of the Baiyue Kingdoms—Black Python Devouring the Sky!"

This is Tianze's ultimate move.

Once unleashed, the surrounding air is corroded by black energy, as if one were in hell.

But Xia Bing looked at the giant black python and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"That's it?"

He raised his hand and waved it gently.

A golden light surged from his palm, instantly slaying the giant black python.

"puff!"

Tianze's body shuddered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His signature move was actually countered by Xia Bing in a single move?!

"Impossible..." he murmured, "This is impossible..."

"Nothing is impossible." Xia Bing walked up to him. "Your strength is still far from sufficient."

"you......"

Tianze bit his lip, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had practiced the secret arts of the Baiyue people for over twenty years and considered himself invincible.

But this young man in front of him actually broke his ultimate move in one move!

"Tianze," Xia Bing looked at him, "you lost."

"I refuse to accept this!" Tianze roared. "Let's go again!"

"There's no chance anymore."

Xia Bing raised her hand, and a golden light condensed in her palm.

"Xia Bing!" Yan Lingji suddenly rushed out, blocking Tianze's path. "Please, spare his life!"

"Why?" Xia Bing looked at her.

"Because..." Yan Lingji lowered her head, "He is the Crown Prince of Baiyue. If he dies, Baiyue is truly finished."

"......"

Xia Bing fell silent.

He looked at Yan Lingji, then at Tianze, and finally withdrew his hand.

"Alright." He nodded. "I'll spare his life, since you pleaded for him."

"You may be spared the death penalty, but you will not escape punishment." He looked at Tianze. "From today onwards, you will leave South Korea. Never to return."

"you......"

"You have a problem with that?" Xia Bing's gaze sharpened. "Or do you want to die?"

"......"

Tianze bit his lip, his face ashen.
