"Yes!"
A man in black outside the carriage responded, then quickly lifted the curtain and stepped into the carriage.
"Who are you people?" Yang Ling asked in a deep voice, becoming wary as the men in black entered.
"Yang Ling, you didn't expect this, did you?" the man in black said sinisterly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's pupils contracted sharply, and he said coldly, "Are you from the Northern Rong Kingdom?"
"Congratulations on getting it right," the man in black sneered.
Yang Ling said coldly, "I never expected to encounter remnants of the Northern Rong Kingdom. Since you're here, then stay."
After saying that, Yang Ling struck out with his palm, and a dazzling sword light slashed through the void.
The man in black brandished his long sword and slashed forward. The two collided, and a violent force raged outwards.
The man in black was blasted away by this immense force.
"Pfft!" The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression grave.
He never expected Yang Ling's strength to be so terrifying; it was simply unbelievable.
Yang Ling said coldly, "Although you are very strong, you are still doomed to die."
With that, Yang Ling raised his hand and sent out a dart.
The man in black was startled when he saw the dart coming and immediately dodged.
However, the dart strangely bypassed his body and continued its attack.
Sensing danger, the man in black cursed inwardly, then used his movement technique to dodge while simultaneously swinging his arm to deliver a slash.
The dart suddenly changed direction mid-flight, avoiding the blade, and then aimed straight for the man in black's throat.
The man in black was terrified and immediately moved to the side.
puff!
The dart landed on the man in black's shoulder.
"Ah!" The man in black screamed as he fell to the ground, struggling in pain.
Yang Ling slowly walked over and said, "You are a master from the Northern Rong Kingdom. Tell me where your leader is, and perhaps I can spare your life."
The man in black gritted his teeth, a vicious glint in his eyes, and then used all his strength to plunge the dagger into his own chest.
puff!
The dagger pierced the man in black's body. The man's eyes widened, almost bulging out, with an expression of disbelief.
The man in black fell into a pool of blood.
Yang Ling frowned, then turned and chased after Wang Ziping, who was riding a horse at full gallop.
Upon seeing the man in black killed by Yang Ling, Wang Ziping was filled with rage and quickened his pace to escape.
Yang Ling snorted coldly and urged his horse to catch up.
"You won't stop me!" Wang Ziping shouted, leaping into the air, mounting his horse, and fleeing quickly.
"Want to leave? Not so easy." Yang Ling's eyes narrowed into slits, then she soared into the air and chased after him.
Wang Ziping and Yang Ling rode their horses one after the other, galloping quickly southward.
Wang Ziping glanced back at Yang Ling, who was chasing after him, and said with a ferocious expression, "When you catch up, I'll rape you and then kill you!"
Yang Ling's eyes were icy cold, and a chilling killing intent emanated from her. She swooped down and instantly closed the distance between herself and Wang Ziping.
Wang Ziping's expression suddenly changed drastically. He hurriedly swung his spear to defend himself, and then used the rebound force to roll to the side.
Yang Ling rushed over, and Wang Ziping, filled with rage, immediately drew the sword from his waist and charged forward.
The two engaged in a fierce battle.
Wang Ziping's strength was slightly inferior to Yang Ling's, but he relied on the advantage of his weapon and his agility to temporarily hold Yang Ling back.
Yang Ling snorted coldly, leaped up suddenly, gripped the horse's belly with her legs, and the horse neighed and charged towards Wang Ziping.
Wang Ziping's expression changed, and he swung his sword at Yang Ling. A sharp sword light tore through the void and struck Yang Ling.
Undeterred, Yang Ling charged forward, his legs gripping the horse's flanks as he leaned and fell, unleashing a powerful right punch.
Bang!
The fist struck the sword light, and the sword light shattered on the spot.
Yang Ling pressed his advantage, striking Wang Ziping in the abdomen with his right knee. Wang Ziping screamed and slid off his horse, falling to the ground.
Yang Ling jumped off his horse, walked up to Wang Ziping, looked down at Wang Ziping lying on the ground, and said coldly, "Now that you're barely clinging to life, do you still want to play tricks?"
Prince Ping's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and his lips quivered as he said, "You... kill me, otherwise... my father will surely exterminate your entire family."
"Threatening me? You're still too green. Don't forget who ruined you like this," Yang Ling said calmly.
"Yang Ling, do you dare kill me? If you kill me, my father will never let you get away with it!" Prince Ping roared.
Yang Ling said, "I will not only kill you, but also take your body back to the Great Zhao Empire so that everyone will know that you died in the Southern Yan Kingdom."
"You dare!" Wang Ziping roared in shock.
Looking at Wang Ziping's ferocious appearance, Yang Ling shook his head slightly and said, "I dare, why wouldn't I dare? My Yang family has been loyal and virtuous for generations. How can we tolerate your Northern Rong Kingdom harming the people? Your Northern Rong Kingdom has wolfish ambitions and will arouse public anger sooner or later. At that time, all the martial artists on the entire continent will not let you go."
“Nonsense! Your Great Zhao Empire is the barbarian one, while our Northern Rong Kingdom is a land of propriety,” Prince Ping retorted loudly.
"A land of etiquette? Heh, the Northern Rong Kingdom's title of 'land of etiquette' is just a way to deceive ordinary people," Yang Ling sneered.
Wang Ziping gritted his teeth and said, "Our Northern Rong Kingdom is a land of etiquette. This is a fact that everyone in our Northern Rong Kingdom acknowledges. Otherwise, how could the Northern Rong Kingdom stand at the pinnacle of the continent?"
Yang Ling was taken aback by what Wang Ziping said.
The Northern Rong Kingdom is indeed an ancient country with a rich history, far surpassing other vassal states, and even some smaller countries cannot compare to it.
The fact that the Northern Rong Kingdom was able to dominate the Western Zhou Empire and the Southern Chu Empire, and remain undefeated against the historically significant Liang Empire, is enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the Northern Rong Kingdom.
"I don't care whether your Northern Rong Kingdom is a land of etiquette or not, today, you must die!" Yang Ling said resolutely.
Wang Ziping felt a chill run down his spine. Yang Ling's words revealed a strong killing intent that sent shivers down his spine.
"Yang Ling, don't push me, or we'll both end up in a fight to the death, and you won't fare any better," Wang Ziping said in a deep voice.
"A fight to the death? Haha... Do you think that's possible?" Yang Ling sneered.
A chill ran through Wang Ziping's heart. Yang Ling's talent was too heaven-defying. If he were allowed to grow stronger, what would become of him? Would there still be room for the Northern Rong Kingdom to survive on the entire continent?
“If you stop now, I can guarantee that no innocent people will be harmed; otherwise, you will die without a burial place,” Wang Ziping said fiercely, staring at Yang Ling.
Yang Ling's gaze was gloomy. He naturally knew what the innocent civilians Wang Ziping was referring to were—the people of Nan Yan City. He would not allow any casualties to occur; it was his responsibility and his duty.
