Chapter 183 Another Fight, Candidates For The Trial (1)
“Young Master, are we lost?” Haitang, dressed as a male attendant, repeatedly looked at the map in her hand and asked for the umpteenth time.
Yin Wuyou, who was also dressed as a man and was unbelievably handsome, was speechless. She didn’t want to admit it, but it seemed… they were really lost…
“Stop looking. It’s not like you can understand it!” Yin Wuyou snapped. “It’s better to find someone to ask for directions.”
Your Highness, you can’t read the map either, Haitang muttered in her heart while carefully putting the map into her bag. “But there’s no one here in the wilderness, Your Highness.”
There were no outsiders here, and Haitang forgot to change the way she addressed the princess. “We have asked for directions several times. We are indeed going in the direction they pointed.”
“How would I know?” Yin Wuyou said helplessly.
If she knew, would they have lost their way?
Suddenly, Yin Wuyou’s expression changed.
“Haitang, don’t worry about anything later. Keep walking in the direction of the sunset! Remember, no matter what happens, don’t look back!” Yin Wuyou said solemnly.
She raised her right hand and grasped the hilt of the sword exposed above her right shoulder.
With a clang, she unsheathed the sword. Her body lit up slightly, and her aura rose steadily.
Yin Wuyou had brought two weapons with her when she left the capital. One was an earth-grade longsword that Emperor Yuan Feng had specially hired someone to forge for her, and the other was the Shadow Sword!
The Shadow Sword couldn’t be seen with the naked eye as it hung at her waist.
At this moment, she didn’t use the Shadow Sword but her earth-grade sword.
“Come out!” Yin Wuyou shouted coldly.
Stretching out her arm, she pointed her sword forward. A series of sharp sword qi warped the air around her.
Although the powerful aura was not aimed at Haitang, she had already involuntarily taken two steps back.
Her cultivation was only at the seventh rank of the Martial Dao, so she couldn’t withstand the powerful aura coming from Yin Wuyou’s cultivation at the second rank.
Pada
Footsteps sounded, and a figure walked out from the forest not far ahead.
This person was tall and sturdy, and his skin was bronze in color. He carried a large saber that was as tall as a person, and his body exuded a powerful aura.
“Great Wei’s imperial preceptor!” Yin Wuyou’s pupils constricted, and her heart sank.
Her gaze landed on Xiao Shunzhi’s right arm, and shock flashed across her eyes. Why is his right arm still there?
The number one weapon in the Yellow-grade Armament Manual, the Great Destroyer Sword, clearly had the record of severing the right arm of Great Wei’s Imperial Preceptor Xiao Shunzhi!
Yin Wuyou had some doubts in her heart, but now was not the time to consider these things. She stared at Xiao Shunzhi, and her spiritual essence burst out without reservation.
Xiao Shunzhi was a first-rank martial artist.
If she still had any reservations, then she would be courting death!
Yin Wuyou had once fought with Xiao Shunzhi. At the time, Xiao Shunzhi was seriously injured, but she still almost died.
Although her cultivation level had increased by one rank now, Xiao Shunzhi’s injuries had already recovered.
Yin Wuyou didn’t have any confidence in escaping
She only hoped that Haitang could escape. Otherwise, if both of them died here, no one would know who killed them.
Xiao Shunzhi looked at Yin Wuyou with a faint smile. “The princess of Great Xia actually dares to enter the territory of our Great Wei. Could it be that you thought Great Wei wouldn’t notice you entering our territory?” Yin Wuyou’s expression was solemn. She wasn’t stupid at all. In an instant, she understood that the people she had asked for directions earlier had likely pointed her in the wrong direction on purpose. They wanted to lure her into the wilderness.
Otherwise, if they were in the middle of a bustling city, even if she wasn’t Xiao Shunzhi’s match, with her second-rank Martial Dao cultivation, Great Wei would incur enormous losses.
There were no problems in this barren wilderness.
Xiao Shunzhi could completely let loose and kill her.
After Yin Wuyou thought through all this, she didn’t regret intentionally going through Great Wei to avoid her father’s pursuit.
If she could do it again, she would still leave the capital.
Great Qin wasn’t a good place. She didn’t feel at ease letting Zhou Shu go to Great Qin alone. His cultivation was only at the seventh rank. Just like Haitang, he was too weak.
Yin Wuyou took a deep breath, and her expression became incomparably determined. I absolutely can’t admit defeat. I still have to catch up to the diplomatic mission. I still have to protect Zhou Shu!
Xiao Shunzhi pointed the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber on the ground and said, “Your Highness, I advise you to surrender. That way, you will suffer less. If you fight, I can’t guarantee that I won’t hurt you.”
“Xiao Shunzhi, cut the crap! Great Xia’s princess will die in battle, but there will be no coward who begs for mercy!” Yin Wuyou shouted. “Kill me if you can!”
Before she finished speaking, she had already transformed into an afterimage. Boundless sword qi stabbed toward Xiao Shunzhi.
“Go!” Yin Wuyou’s voice rang in Haitang’s ears, and a force sent her flying backward.
Haitang was already in the air with tears streaming down her face.
She knew that with her cultivation, it was simply impossible for her to interfere in the battle between the princess and Xiao Shunzhi.
Even if she wanted to sacrifice herself to buy time for the princess, she couldn’t.
The only thing she could do now was to look for reinforcements!
Hanyu Pass! The marquis! For some reason, the first person that flashed through Haitang’s mind was Zhou Shu.
