“Watch out!” Murong Xue narrowed her eyes as she snatched a bundle of rope and threw it with all her strength, winding it fast around Yuan Fangfei’s waist and pulling her up by over half a meter. The sharp spears brushed against her shoe sole, producing a long gash.

With cold air pouring into her shoes, Yuan Fangfei was totally enraged. She landed on the circle platform swiftly and took a swing with her fist ferociously, intending to give Cang Qiong a heavy punch. “How dare you plot against me? Say Hi to my fist!”

She wanted to kill him? How over-confident!

Cang Qiong suddenly pressed the button with a sneer on his face. A pane of shining thick glass appeared as the wooden platform withdrew rapidly.

The glass slanted down without a warning before Yuan Fangfei’s fist reached Cang Qiong’s chest. She fell over with a scream, dashing towards the ground at a high speed.

With no obstructions on the edge of the platform, her body would be smashed to pieces if falling down from such a high place.

As soon as Murong Xue, squinting at her friends in danger, planned to save Yuan Fangfei with the rope in her hand, a huge and closely-woven net appeared at the edge of the platform, which trapped her unmercifully.

Yuan Fangfei, failing to get out after an intense struggle, glared at Cangqiong and burst out a roar, “Cang Qiong, you shameless bastard!”

“Knowing Cang Qiong is such a shameless bastard, yet she still went to confront him. No wonder she got caught.” The leader of the invisible guards caught a glimpse of Yuan Fangfei in contempt. Only if they plot against him in an unexpected way, can they beat him at his own game!

The muscular body of the leader instantly disappeared in the air, followed by his two prawns after making a gesture.

With a vague breeze brushing Mu Rongxue’s cheeks, the three invisible guards appeared in front of Cang Qiong from nowhere and exerted themselves to attack him with their palms.

Cang Qiong pressed another button unhurriedly. A net made of thin iron bars, embedded with long iron spears, appeared on the smooth surface of the glass all of a sudden , forming a perfect shelter for Cang Qiong.

It was too late for the three invisible guards to withdraw their hands. With a tearing sound, their wide and thick palms were pierced by the iron spears, and blood splashed all around rapidly.

As noble as the leader of the invisible guards, he actually fell into the trap of a brat. What a damn! The leader’s face turned grim at the thought of him falling into the trap of this brat.

Ziyou stretched his left arm abruptly, intending to catch Cang Qiong. It was beyond their expectation that three huge nets appeared suddenly beneath their feet. Being stuck in the net, they were dragged backwards by an enormous force, their hands rubbing against the iron spears with the flesh torn down and hanging on the spears. Mu Liufeng was so astonished by the bloody scene that his lips began to twitch.

Following the bloodstain, his eyes were fixed on the edge of the platform, where Yuan Fangfei and other three invisible guards were hoisted. With his eyelid twitching heavily, he recognized the leader appointed by the emperor. He knew it clearly that the leader was not only adept at martial art, but also a capable man in plotting. Such an elite from Qing Yan Kingdom was actually defeated by Cang Qiong. “He seems to be an impossible enemy.”

“Strictly speaking, invisible guards have all underestimated Cang Qiong. He would stand no chance if he had fought with any of them or using strategy aboveboard. It was the complex and mystic machinery that helped him.” The leader of invisible guards suddenly said with a meaningful look on his face. It was unpredictable that an iron-speared shelter would appear out of nowhere. He would have fallen into the trap as well.

“But our enemy at present is good with those triggers.” Mu Liufeng stared at Cang Qiong with light in his eyes, “We must learn to devastate those triggers as soon as possible. Yuan Fangfei and those three guards had activated different ones respectively before they were defeated. We should be fully prepared in order not to fall into the same trap. Who will be the next volunteer to confront him?”

The leader of the imperial guards glared at Mu Liufeng and talked back in anger, “According to you, we are seeking our own doom, right? Why don’t you expect we will triumph in the end?”

Morale always comes first on the battlefield. Only morons would inspire others by self-deprecation!

“I totally agree with you. But there are numerous triggers on that wooden snake. Yuan Fangfei and those three guards merely triggered two of them. Nobody knows how many traps were concealed beneath the seemingly common platform. We have never seen such complex and sophisticated mechanism before. It is almost impossible to defeat Cang Qiong who is well sheltered by those invincible inventions!” Mu Liufeng said unhurriedly with upset in his eyes.

Attacking him at close range was nothing more than bringing destruction to themselves. Given the number of those triggers, merely activating another one before getting caught could be regarded as an achievement.

The leader of the imperial guards stared at Cang Qiong, whose eyes were filled with the intention of murder. Admittedly, Cang Qiong was well protected by numerous triggers, but he must kill this bastard in revenge for the victims of Qing Yan. “It’s my turn to activate the next trigger!”

With the triggers being activated one by one, he hoped Cang Qiong could be captured when his tricks run out.

Seeing the leader ready to dash towards Cang Qiong, Murong Xue, with serious eyes, stopped him at once, “Hold on, Your Excellency. It is not a good idea to activate triggers by sacrificing our teammates!”

“What do you mean?” The leader looked at her coolly.

Murong Xue said emphatically with a meaningful look on her face, “There are only six in our team, while the number of the triggers is beyond our imagination. It would result in total failure if we rush over to try activating all the triggers till they run out and attack him. Qing Yan Kingdom will soon be in danger again once all of us are imprisoned!”

“I know. But Cang Qiong is casting his covetous eyes on us. We must find a way to defeat him.” The leader stared at Murong Xue and stressed every syllable.

“Stay calm. There must be a way to defeat him.” Murong Xue lowered her voice as she began searching for ideas in her mind. “Come over and catch me! You are frightened by my triggers, aren’t you? Do you plan to protract our war by staying on your eight-tailed wooden snake?”

Murong Xue frowned and raised her chin, watching Cang Qiong standing in the middle of the platform and staring at them from a commanding position. A wooden pillar towered behind him, which had been embedded with countless buttons.

There was a gleam of hope twinkling in Murong Xue’s eyes. An idea just popped into her
