Chapter 46
“Seven Stars·Yaoguang Sword!”
Xiao Minghuang softly chanted, and the golden sword light, empowered by the force of the stars, slashed down, carrying with it a dazzling starlight, its power reaching the extreme.
The surging aura, even though the old man in yellow was a peak-level expert at the Spring Realm, made his body tremble, as if he was terrified of this unstoppable strike.
“This starlight is truly terrifying!”
The old man in yellow swallowed hard, his scalp tingling. He wanted to dodge, but behind him was the severely injured Wang Bao. If he avoided the sword light, Wang Bao would surely die on the spot!
In an instant.
He made his decision!
“Fierce Tiger Breaks the Void!”
The old man in yellow let out a long roar, the sound of a tiger shaking the earth. His fists, like a divine tiger descending the mountain, formed a massive tiger head in the air, which he fiercely struck out!
This move, the Fierce Tiger Fist, he had practiced for many years and had reached a minor mastery level. Even in battles against peers, he had never been at a disadvantage.
He believed that this punch would surely shatter the dazzling starlight.
But!
Facing the boundless, radiant sword light, the tiger head didn’t last long. It quickly disintegrated like paper.
Feeling the pressure of the starlight sword qi becoming unbearable, the old man in yellow hurriedly shouted:
“Ninth Princess, I have already relinquished the spirit vein. It’s better to resolve enmities than to create them. Could you show mercy and spare us? The Dragon Tiger Sect will surely offer generous gifts!”
Xiao Minghuang’s snow-white skin shimmered with dazzling starlight, resembling a peerless empress, transcending the mortal realm. She spoke indifferently:
“If there are generous gifts, I will take them from your corpse.”
Before her words faded.
She raised her longsword high and slashed down once more!
The previous qi sword had not yet dissipated, and the next one arrived, continuously striking the old man in yellow’s spiritual shield.
After three strikes.
Crack!
The spiritual shield shattered with a sound!
The resplendent starlight blade shadow descended through the air, sweeping past the old man in yellow’s arms, creating a massive impact that sent him flying backward dozens of feet, crashing heavily onto a giant boulder.
Boom!
The old man in yellow was deeply embedded into the boulder, his golden light dimmed, his spiritual energy weakened. The dazzling sword qi had cleanly severed both his hands, and crimson blood gushed out uncontrollably, instantly staining the ground red.
“My hands! My hands!!!”
The old man in yellow’s eyes bulged with rage, writhing in agony, unable to rise, only twisting his neck in despair, wailing incessantly.
As a body-refining martial artist, having his hands severed in battle was more unbearable than death, akin to humiliation.
With his hands severed, unless he had a Body-Restoring Muscle Pill, regeneration was impossible.
But such a pill was a high-grade Profound Tier elixir, not something to be wasted on a mere Spring Realm old man in yellow.
The scene before them shocked everyone present.
The difference between the two was a whole major realm, not something ordinary martial arts or treasures could bridge.
In Beiyang City, only the two women from the Ye and Lin families and Lin Zhengquan knew that Xiao Minghuang possessed a Heaven Tier spirit root, her talent far surpassing ordinary people. Yet, they could not have imagined she could cross a major realm to defeat the old man in yellow.
Among the crowd, only Wang Bao saw some clues.
He looked towards the crimson figure standing in the center, his expression extremely grim.
“She has at least cultivated one Earth Tier martial art to mastery, comprehending its divine abilities, and possesses a top-grade Profound Tier treasure. Such a monstrous talent, even within the Dragon Tiger Sect, only the senior brother could surpass her!”
Wang Bao couldn’t understand how such a peerless prodigy could emerge from the martial decline of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms. Could it be that this woman was truly born under the mandate of heaven?
In an instant, a thought crossed his mind.
“No! I must report this to the sect and have a Spirit Seed Realm senior take action to eliminate this monster, or our sect may face catastrophic disaster in the future!”
The next moment.
Wang Bao stuffed several pills into his mouth, all of them spirit pills for recovering spiritual energy and healing injuries.
His aura gradually recovered, and he took steps to flee the scene.
At the same time.
Standing calmly in the center of the field, Xiao Minghuang spoke once more.
“I said, none of you can leave here today.”
Then.
Xiao Minghuang restrained her aura and threw her longsword high into the air, landing it in front of Lin Zhengquan.
“City Lord Lin, clear the area!”
Lin Zhengquan, who had been in a state of shock, was jolted awake by the sight of the golden longsword floating before him.
Grasping the longsword, he quickly responded:
“As you command!”
“Men of Beiyang City, follow me to slay these scoundrels from the Golden Elephant Kingdom!”
Before the words had even faded.
Whoosh!
Countless soldiers sprang into action, hundreds of Body TemperingRealm warriors simultaneously drawing their swords, their imposing might overwhelming and unstoppable.
Witnessing the majestic presence of Beiyang City’s army, the armored soldiers of the Golden Elephant Kingdom all showed fear on their faces. The old man in yellow had already been defeated; how could these Body Tempering Realm warriors possibly withstand the onslaught of a Spring Realm expert?
In the blink of an eye.
Lin Zhengquan led the Beiyang City forces in a fierce charge, swinging his blade to unleash a beam of light that instantly killed dozens of Golden Elephant Kingdom soldiers.
Amidst the chaos of battle.
Wang Bao took advantage of the confusion and slipped into the dense forest.
As the shouts behind him grew fainter, Wang Bao wiped the sweat from his forehead, let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes filled with lingering fear. He muttered to himself:
“The Ninth Princess of Xia Kingdom is truly a celestial being!”
“Such a monstrous talent—I must report this to my sect immediately and ask my masters to take action and eliminate her!”
No sooner had he spoken.
In the dense forest, leaves began to fall, and after a series of footsteps, a melodious yet deadly voice rang out.
“If you hadn’t uttered that last sentence, I might have let you die more comfortably.”
Then.
Layer upon layer of withered leaves parted like a receding tide, and a beautiful figure stepped forward. The young woman wore a vibrant red dress, her skin as smooth and radiant as white jade. In her hand, she held a dark blue longsword, exuding a cold and damp aura, as if she were a blade of ice sent from the underworld to claim lives.
Seeing this figure and sensing the aura emanating from her, Wang Bao’s expression shifted from initial shock and despair to one of delight and pleasure.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Miss Lin?”
Wang Bao regained his composure, let out a light breath, and chuckled:
“What? Miss Lin, have you come to join my Dragon Tiger Sect? Or perhaps you’ve taken a fancy to my dashing appearance and wish to offer yourself to me?”
The young woman standing with her sword was none other than Lin Wanqiu, who had been pursuing Wang Bao.
She spoke calmly:
“Even at death’s door, you still spout nonsense. I am here on the orders of Her Highness to kill you!”
Hearing this.
Wang Bao’s face turned cold, his gaze darkening as he said icily:
“If it were the Ninth Princess of Xia Kingdom herself, I might fear her. But you, a mere Body Tempering Realm warrior, think you can kill me?”
At this, Lin Wanqiu remained serene, stepping forward with her sword in hand, and said calmly:
“Do you even deserve to have Her Highness take action against you?”
