The caravan, traveling through a dark forest, is ambushed by bandits who use arrows and a pincer attack to inflict heavy casualties. As the situation becomes dire, Li Xiangrou, encouraged by Ning Qi, decides to step onto the battlefield to protect the remaining guards and confront the attackers, whom she believes were sent by her elder sister.

"Arrogant!"

"Kill her, reward with ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

"..."

At this moment, the people behind began issuing orders one after another.

"Kill!"

"..."

A great reward ensures brave men.

After giving the order, everyone started to crazily rush forward.

Preparing to tear Li Xiangrou apart and claim their prize.

"Hmph."

Li Xiangrou snorted coldly, unleashing an aura around her so intense it made breathing difficult.

This aura exploded like a tornado, sweeping the people in front of her away.

In the void, their weapons shredded each other.

"Crash!"

"Pfft!"

Large pools of blood fell to the ground.

And more pieces of flesh dropped together.

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

Commander Li looked at the scene before him in astonishment.

"When did the Princess become so powerful?"

"What kind of power is this?"

"I don’t know but it’s too strong."

"..."

Many guards began to discuss.

In their eyes, Li Xiangrou suddenly became like a God.

"This... is at least the strength of a Half-step True Immortal; otherwise, it’s impossible to have such destructive power!"

Commander Li swallowed, regaining his composure: "I never imagined the Princess is this strong."

"Hoo!"

After killing those in front of her, Li Xiangrou showed no sign of stopping.

She continued to swipe through the void, her hands flying in motion.

A large wave of aura began to fluctuate with her fatigue.

Immediately after, she swept all the enemies into the sky.

One after another, she executed them.

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"..."

The screams were incessant, thousands of times crueler than those who tried to kill her earlier.

Many of their bodies were torn apart.

Then mixed together, indistinguishable from one another.

"Stop!"

At this moment, someone shouted coldly.

Then, a figure flew over from a distance.

Steadily landing not far from Li Xiangrou.

A pair of eyes fixed on her.

"An impressive one has come!"

Li Xiangrou’s eyes sparkled, looking at the person before her.

Giving her a sense of danger.

Though she could feel that this person had a strength similar to hers.

However, she knew clearly that she was not a match for him.

Just his presence indicated ruthlessness.

"Princess Xiangxiang, I didn’t expect you to be hiding your capabilities so well."

This person obviously knew her too, calling her name as soon as he spoke.

His face filled with a mocking expression.

Looking at her with cold eyes.

As if looking at someone doomed.

"Did my sister send you?"

"Go back and tell her, she forced me, I didn’t want to compete with her."

"Since she won’t let me off along the way, when I return, I’ll definitely show her my strength!"

Li Xiangrou looked at the person before her, speaking word by word.

"Oh? You think you have a chance to go back?"

This person laughed as if he heard the biggest joke ever.

Laughed heartily: "Princess Xiangxiang, you indeed have improved your strength on this journey, but have you been affected in spirit?"

"Failing to recognize reality, hoping to fight against the inevitable?"

"I know very well whether I’m fighting against the inevitable!"

"Today, I’ll show you if I’m fighting against the inevitable!"

Li Xiangrou looked at the person before her, unleashing all her power.

Then, holding a Profound Sword, charged forward.

This was given to her by Ning Qi, not a Supreme Treasure.

Yet, it’s not something ordinary people can easily resist.

"Clang!"

Seeing this, the person immediately moved to block.

The Heavy Blade in his hands steadily dissolving Li Xiangrou’s attack.

Simultaneously, his hands weren’t idle.

He swung his Iron Fist directly toward Li Xiangrou.

"Hoo!"

Li Xiangrou seized the moment, withdrawing swiftly.

"Trying to escape?"

Seeing her retreat, that person laughed.

Then his form pursued her directly.

Not giving her any chance to broaden the distance again.

"Miss, be careful!"

Commander Li hurriedly reminded, charging forward along.

"Whoosh!"

However, he was met with a cold arrow.

Forcing him to retreat.

While Li Xiangrou in front was already caught up by that person.

The Heavy Blade in hand already aimed at her neck.

If struck, she would certainly lose her life.

Li Xiangrou felt the threat.

Continuing her rapid retreat, while her Profound Sword wasn’t idle.

"Hoo!"

"Swish!"

Under her movement, it slashed towards the Heavy Blade before her.

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

Occasionally, piercing metallic clashing sounds erupted.

Sending chills down spines.

She used the impact of his Heavy Blade to retreat again.

This time, she succeeded in distancing herself from him.

Not offering him a chance to get close again.

"Hoo!"

The next moment, Li Xiangrou landed firmly on the ground.

Wielding the Profound Sword, watching the person before her.

After this battle, Li Xiangrou gradually found courage.

They were not invincible; if she had enough skill.

And was careful enough, she could have the strength to fight.

She determinedly thought, staring at the person before her.

"Tsk, not bad."

The person click his tongue, smiling: "I thought you were bluffing, but you really have skills!"

"However, the more you are like this, the more I can’t let you return!"

"Oh? Then come at me."

"Let me see what cards you have left!"

Li Xiangrou grew more courageous with battle, fearlessly speaking.

"Don’t be arrogant, soon you won’t be able to laugh!"

The person narrowed his eyes, waving to those behind him: "How long do you plan to watch the show?"

"Waiting for her to grow stronger?"

"Really interesting, didn’t expect our Princess Xiangxiang to become so powerful!"

At this time, another person emerged from the dense forest.

A burly middle-aged man, his eyes fixed on Li Xiangrou.

Stepping over step by step.

Standing with the other, coldly watching her: "None of your people can fight."

"Commander Li is strong, but not stronger than you."

"Together we’ll kill you!"

"Hmph, if you want to kill my Princess, you have to get past me first!"

Commander Li fearlessly stepped forward.

"Kill us!"

"If you want to move the Princess, you must step over our corpses!"

"..."

The guards behind, showing no fear of death.

Li Xiangrou’s arrival gave them a chance to breathe.

And her disregard for life and death to protect everyone deeply moved them.

At this moment, even if asked to jump into a pit of fire for Li Xiangrou, they would not hesitate.

Ning Qi watched the scene before him, slightly smiled.

"Master, seems they are truly united this time!"

Medicine Spirit also watched the scene, smiling: "Especially this Princess, she’s really different from before!"

"She is privileged as a Princess, this is her duty."

Ning Qi spoke with indifference: "If it were me, I would always protect my guards like my own life."

"But now, her change of heart isn’t too late!"

"Master, there are some here she may not be able to defeat!"

Medicine Spirit looked around worriedly: "We should help her."

"Don’t rush, let me see her potential!"

Ning Qi shook his head: "With me here, she’s safe."

"But..."

Medicine Spirit still seemed worried.

Yet, seeing Ning Qi’s carefree demeanor, she swallowed her words.

"Enough buts, just enjoy the show."

Ning Qi smiled and said.
