Upon hearing this, Erqing and Sanqing immediately charged at Ding Changwei, their long knives raised high, eager to cut him down.
"Go, kill those two maids," Ding Changwei commanded his subordinates, dragging Ji Zhenniang backward, clearly distrustful of Gu Jinli's words and unwilling to give up his hostage.
"Yes!" The Ding Family's secretly trained Shadow Guards rushed out, their long knives aimed at Erqing and Sanqing.
Clang, clang, clang!
The clash of weapons echoed as the groups fought fiercely, unable to gain an advantage over each other.
Ding Changwu glanced at Gu Jinli, an axe in his hand. He moved swiftly, aiming right for Gu Jinli's head: "Wretch, your poison is useless against me. Let's see what you can do without it!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the heavy axe sliced through the air with a whistling sound.
