The golden sword light was like a laser beam, piercing straight toward the Crown Princess’ eyeball. Yet when the sword tip clashed against her eyeball, the sword light crumbled.

A finger force tore apart layers of the atmosphere, tapping the Crown Princess’ knees at the speed of lightning. Wherever it passed by, everything would be incinerated. A heat that could burn down an entire city was gathered within this single tap.

However, the finger force was unable to advance any further after it reached one inch away from the Crown Princess’ knees. It was like Titanic had crashed into the Yamato Japanese battleship. The finger broke and became distorted.

A huge copper-colored claw came down from the sky and grabbed out at the Crown Princess’ head. A terrifying force kept on moving to and fro within the huge claw, causing the air to explode from the tremors and space to become distorted. The entire huge palm seemed to have turned into a black hole.

The power of this grasp was majestic and could be said to be the strongest amongst the 12 people present. In terms of just a comparison in strength, it even surpassed that of the level that the Illusory Emotions Path’s sect master, Zhao Yinglan, was at previously.

Therefore, after this claw crashed onto the Crown Princess’ head, the consequences of the attack were also the most dire. The Crown Princess did not suffer from any deformations nor did she back off. However, the entire hand—together with the arm—was like someone had jumped off from the World Trade Center, exploding into meat paste from the horrifying backlashing force.

Liang Bo’s palm turned pitch-black. The poison contained within his palm could instantly kill over one million mortals, but when this poisonous strike slapped onto the area that was one inch away from the Crown Princess’ back, it also came to a stop.

“How is this possible?” My Phenomenal Myriad Poison Palm can dissolve even an entire mountain. To think that it isn’t able to break even her protective Gang Qis?”

A kacha sound rang out, and as the bones in his hand broke, Liang Bo backed off in astonishment rapidly. Right now, the Crown Princess was like a human-eating monster in his eyes.

He was not the only one who was shocked. All 12 Tiangang Realm cultivators who had attacked concurrently seemed to have suffered injuries, and the fiercer their attack was, the greater the backlash they suffered.

An old man with white hair and beard had grabbed toward the top of the Crown Princess’ head earlier. He was the expert who released the strongest blow in their earlier round of attack. However, his entire right arm had now been turned into a pool of meat paste.

He was the clan head of Bing Region’s Li Clan and had attacked with great hatred after Li Anguo died in battle. The old man had not expected that his Indestructible Golden Physique would be crushed from the backlash. This was something he had never thought of before.

The one who shot out the golden sword light had been a beautiful young married lady. She held two swords in her hands—one being silver and the other one gold. A chunk of her golden sword had broken off.

She was the sect master of the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ Prominent Sword Mountain. Her sword arts were amongst the top three in the world.

The person who condensed flames in his finger force to hit toward the Crown Princess’ knees had been a middle-aged man with crimson brows. He was the sect master of the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ Flaming Mountain. That earlier attack—the Flaming Radiance Finger—was his great martial technique. It condensed unparalleled flames which would be used to scorch the opponents. The Radiant Flames produced could turn an entire city into ashes and also destroy a person’s consciousness.

However, right now, his entire finger had been twisted into a braid, and his cheeks had flushed red. His toxic flames had counterattacked his consciousness.

The 12 Tiangang Realm experts had attacked at full-power concurrently. However, the Crown Princess had received all the attacks while staying seated there, without moving. Instead, all 12 Tiangang Realm experts suffered varying degrees of injuries.

Just the action of remaining seated and unmoving had placed pressure on the entire scene, shocking everyone.

The Crown Princess threw a gaze toward the Tiangang Realm experts and raised her head, revealing her fair and tender neck that appeared like a baby’s skin.

However, the many experts present knew that the Crown Princess’ body was so strong that it had reached an unbelievable level.

“A bunch of trash.” The Crown Princess was like a proud swan as she lifted her head, not caring to look at them anymore. She said coldly, “Hmph, I’ll leave it to you.”

Six Tiangang Realm experts from the Demon Sect—including Zhao Yinglan, Heavenly Yaksha, White Asura—walked out from behind the Crown Princess.

Hearing the Crown Princess’ words, Zhao Yinglan lowered her head and said respectfully, “The job of clearing the trash will naturally be left to us.”

The Crown Princess did not say anything but turned and disappeared.

She stood 10,000 lis high up in the sky, side by side with Fang Xingjian, “Did you find it?”

“Mmm.” Fang Xingjian nodded and broke into a hint of a smile. “Interesting guy. We can take care of him at a later time.”

With the Crown Princess’ disappearance, the pressure that filled the entire place disappeared abruptly. The faces of Liang Bo, Li Clan’s clan head, Prominent Sword Mountain’s sect master, Flaming Mountain’s sect master, and the others revealed a hint of relief.

“Damn it.” The head of the Twelve Alliance—who was holding a Ghost-Slaying Saber that had a part broken off—laughed pathetically. “To think that this woman is so hot…”

The Prominent Sword Mountain’s sect master paid him no heed but looked at Zhao Yinglan and the others, saying, “Demon Sect’s demonic woman, are you guys thinking of obstructing us as well?”

Although he said this, after the episode with the Crown Princess earlier, the 12 of them already had the intent to leave.

With such a terrifying expert hidden in the dark, they did not have the guts to continue staying here.

The countenance of Xiao Shen, who was in the sky, also turned increasingly grim. From his encounter with the Crown Princess back in Serene Region, he already thought that she was already deep and unfathomable. However, the cultivation she just displayed was even more terrifying than their estimations.

‘This Marie might not be much weaker than Fang Xuan. Only Great Dao Realm cultivators will be able to win against them. The feudal vassals’ can’t be relied on. In the end, the hopes are still on us, the heaven-blessed cultivators.’

When faced against the 12 Tiangang Realm experts, there were no reservations in Zhao Yinglan’s eyes. A deep red glow flashed past the crystal at her back, and a blood-red exoskeleton armor was formed outside her body. It surrounded her body completely in the blink of an eye.

She was clearly equipped with the Universe Knight System that had higher specifications.

“The few of us won’t be fighting against you.” As Zhao Yinglan’s voice transmitted in the air, a plasma light sword had already appeared in her hand. “After all, just me alone will be sufficient to clean up the trash.”

Within 0.1 seconds, Zhao Yinglan’s speed had already accelerated from zero to Mach 20 speed. A trailing flame that was several tens meters long spurted out from her back, and the plasma light sword she was holding had brushed past the neck of the Prominent Sword Mountain’s sect master.

Zhao Yinglan kept using light speed plasma on the Prominent Sword Sect’s sect master, tearing her muscle tissues, bones, and cells, eventually slashing her neck into two parts.

When her head dropped onto the floor, there was still a stunned gaze in her eyes.

Seeing this scene, the countenances of Liang Bo and the others changed drastically. At the next moment, they turned into many phantom images, shooting out in all directions and fled without any reservations.

Xiao Shen, who was also in the sky, also frowned. He had not even been able to react in time. Zhao Yinglan’s speed far surpassed his estimations.

‘These Tiangang Realm experts have lost their value… There isn’t a need to save them.

‘However, the prowess of these weapons developed by the imperial court is too astonishing. I must bring a few of them back…’

At the next moment, the space around him shattered, and he disappeared.

In the battlefield, the sky was filled with rumbling sounds of thunder. These were released from Zhao Yinglan’s non-stop Mach 20 speed movements, which had caused streams of air shock waves to pierce through the atmosphere repeatedly. Wherever she passed by, streams of shock waves would shoot out, throwing a large number of people from the allied forces off their feet.

Since the Crown Princess’ plan had already succeeded and all the main forces of the various rebellious groups had been attracted here, there was no need for Zhao Yinglan to hold back any longer.

Just the shock-wave radiation produced from her passing by a place caused the 200,000-man allied forces to crumble completely.

The Tiangang Realm cultivators she was chasing were in an even more terrible plight.

Liang Bo felt his legs turned cold, and the area under his right kneecap had completely disappeared.

Ahhh! He let out an enraged bellow and returned a palm strike. Chaotic shock waves kept radiating out as if wanting to sweep through the entire plains within a range of several thousand meters.

However, at the next moment, the shock waves were slashed into two halves by the plasma light sword. Liang Bo felt his right hand turn cold. His entire right arm had disappeared.

“A cat teasing mice?”

Liang Bo let out a fierce bellow and wanted to retaliate when his head soared into the sky at the very next moment, leaving an extremely enraged expression on his face.

“Sorry, I’m not trying to tease you. It’s just that I’m not used to such high speeds.” Zhao Yinglan waved the plasma light sword around as she continued to sense the various information transmitted by the exoskeleton armor.

Sensors for sounds, heat, electromagnetic force, light rays… A total of 21 sets of sensory systems kept on transmitting the situation within a range of ten kilometers from 360 degrees into her mind.

Be it the imperial court’s army, the feudal vassals’ allied forces, Xiantian Realm experts, Disha Realm experts, or even the remaining Tiangang Realm experts, everyone’s position was within her grasp.

‘It’s like an eagle trying to catch a chick.’

Seeing the target, charging out, and then killing… The Yellow Sect’s Patriarch was pierced in the heart by a single sword attack, and his body had turned into endless minced meat.

There had never before been a moment when Zhao Yinglan felt a battle could be so easy.

At the next moment, streams of air currents extended out in midair with an explosive bang , and Zhao Yinglan’s figure disappeared once again.
