JinGe struggled to fight with XuJi inside the room while the outside wasn't doing any better as HanFeng and the bandits were grappling to win against CaiXia, LuLing, puppets and the mercenaries.

"This is not good," thought HanFeng.

Defending against CaiXia and LuLing was proving to be quite difficult. Compared to a cramped room, open space was the better option but since there are two, it's harder to defend since there were more opportunities for them to attack him.

Right now, the both of them were on his tail. If one were to attack from the front, the other would attack his back. He was surrounded all around. "The two of them are compatible as well," thought HanFeng. "And the little one is quick on his feet."

CaiXia had a shorter sword, but it worked to his advantage as a supporter for LuLing. When LuLing attacked, the young boy came out from like a storm, close to him and slashed. If they were fighting one on one, CaiXia would have lost out due to his body size and short sword, however as a supporter, he gained speed due to his small size and light sword.

Slightly out of breath, and with several cuts on his arms, HanFeng was losing out from the battle.

"Why are you here?" asked LuLing at the youth dressed in black, HanFeng.

"I came to kill you," replied HanFeng.

CaiXia added, "Why is a black wolf doing here?"

"It's none of your business," replied HanFeng.

"You are here for WanYue," guessed CaiXia as he stopped LuLing from attacking the man.

HanFeng stayed silent.

"It seems that I have guessed right. Does the Back Wolf Tribe want it as well? Hmm...No. You guys are like stick in the mud. You must want to reseal it."

"We are going to stop you from unsealing WanYue," said HanFeng.

"'We' with the amount of people in your tribe, your 'we' seems a little weak."

Truth rang in the words that CaiXia had spoken, thought HanFeng because the tribe only sent two of its strongest fighters, he, and his mother to come over to correct their mistakes.

Every thousand years, the forest is guarded in turn by each tribe. This cycle it was the Black wolf tribe turn.

CaiXia continued with his little speech, "You want to hide your mistakes of letting the Ancient Purple Wolf escaped but sorry, it's already too late. QianHua is now already under our protection."

"You do not understand the destructive power he holds," stated HanFeng.

"Oh, we already knew about it which is why we are planning on using him."

"You have defied the Goddess Nuwa's orders. We will seal him again," said HanFeng as he resumed their fight, serving a straight blow aiming at CaiXia. However, LuLing blocked his attack.

CaiXia who stood behind LuLing provoked HanFeng with a smile and then said, "Give up. With only a finger our Elder would have crushed your whole tribe. We will kill you first and then your leader and I presumed she must be XuanShuang and also your mother."

The words enraged HanFeng and he launched continuous attacks on LuLing. Suddenly, JinGe appeared and stopped his attack.

"Behind you!" she shouted at him.

HanFeng felt the sudden killing intention behind and was able to turn around in time and deflected CaiXia's attack that was aimed at his blind spot.

"Do not let anger blind you," reminded JinGe at HanFeng.

"You have come back. I am glad to meet you again. It's out third meeting and I hope this will be the last one," said CaiXia as he welcomed JinGe with a smirk.

"I would say the same to you," replied JinGe as she turned her attention towards the young boy.

"Don't mind if I do," as he came forward and fought JinGe who dove into another fight after the one with XuJi had just ended.

From the start, XuJi had thought that the girl wasn't much of foe and that she was beneath her yet even though JinGe was smaller, weaker, less skilled than her, XuJi wasn't able to kill her.

In her eyes, JinGe was like a cockroach. The woman attacked, she dodged and even though JinGe's continuous strikes were weak, and none had actually injured her, yet the battle was going far longer than XuJi had expected.

"Do not blame me, you are the one who refuse to die," thought XuJi.

XuJi had initially thought to kill the human girl swiftly, however now that frustration and annoyance had built up to the maximum point, XuJi finally she decided to cast an enchantment in which to trap and torture JinGe. The woman had chosen the worst possible magic spell she had.

XuJi materialized threads from inside her sleeves. She normally used those to control the white clothes puppet, but they are not only tools for control, but they can also be weapons as well. However, with only thread, they are not enough deadly enough, thought XuJi therefore, she coated them with poison which when infected will caused pain which resembles a thousand needles pricking on your skin and will slowly spread across the whole body until the person dies from the pain of it.

XuJi extended the threads all around JinGe. There were so many of it that JinGe had no way of escaping, like a butterfly trapped in a web spun by a spider.

The threads were directed towards JinGe. She would have died a painful death as per XuJi's wish.

Yet, the battle had been decided since XuJi chose to assault JinGe with that attack. It had worked instead to the advantage of JinGe as the moment XuJi launched the magical attack on JinGe, as she had predicted from the woman; JinGe used her own special magic taught by JianYu against the woman.
