Xie Xiao was taken aback. "You don't need to pay attention to them." His eyes turned hostile as he looked at Uncle Zhong and Ye Ling'er.

Li Ruo said, "They all said that I am General Li's daughter, how can I retreat without a fight?"

At the same time, it's also because he delivers food and supplies to the General's Mansion that we're giving him face.

Everyone was shocked. Was this a battle fought in the name of General Li?

Someone has already enthusiastically drawn the circle.

Everyone in Zixia Mountain knows that Ye Ling'er's kung fu is characterized by its lightness, agility, and unpredictability; some men are no match for her.

The people from General Mountain, including his lackeys like Sun Ergou, weren't really aware of his background. Now we'll see how they get their comeuppance.

Ye Ling'er was very excited, "Alright, please enlighten me, Miss Li."

She clasped her hands in a fist salute, exuding an air of confidence and composure.

Sun Ergou and the other brothers who supported Li Ruo felt their hearts leap into their throats.

After all, Li Ruo had mostly used cunning and hidden arrows before, and hadn't been seen to fight much. Moreover, she looked delicate and frail. Sun Ergou was already thinking that if his sister were to be knocked out, he would have to catch her immediately.

Ye Ling'er made the first move, her figure light and graceful, her purple clothes fluttering in the wind, her movements like a startled dragon in flight, and it looked like her palm was about to strike.

Li Ruo previously learned the fighting style created by the commander, which had no moves whatsoever and focused on speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness!

When Ye Ling'er came up, she punched her wrist with her left hand and pressed down hard, then punched her forehead with lightning speed with her right hand.

This fighting style was utterly devoid of beauty, but it was full of power. Everyone gasped as Ye Ling'er's head was struck to the side with a thud, and she staggered and fell to the ground.

She didn't go viral, but her head was buzzing and starlight was scattering all around her.

Everyone: ...

Holy crap, that fast?!

"Ling'er!" Uncle Zhong exclaimed in surprise, "Get up quickly!"

"Get up! Get up!"

Amidst the shouts of the brothers from Zixia Mountain, Li Ruo had already pinned Ye Ling'er down in a strange position, rendering her unable to move. He gripped her neck with one hand and raised his fist high, about to deliver a blow.

Everyone's breathing disappeared.

It felt like if that punch landed, the person would be gone.

Miss Li was definitely the most ruthless woman they had ever met.

Of course, Li Ruo couldn't really kill her. Before the punch landed, she released Ye Ling'er and kicked her out of the circle.

Ye Ling'er's head was swollen, and she coughed and struggled to breathe. It took her a while to recover. "Thank you... for showing mercy."

Li Ruo's expression turned somewhat cold. "On the battlefield, the enemy will show no mercy."

Sun Ergou said, "That's right!" Looking at Li Ruo with admiration, he added, "My sister is amazing." He just wanted to get a piece of her action.

Li Ruo pushed his dog's head aside and turned around to find herself staring into Xie Xiao's shocked, deep, and tense gaze.

The next moment, he smiled and said, "Not bad."

In terms of fighting skills, it's quite rare to gain the approval of the leader. Everyone, including the people from Zixia Mountain, looks at Li Ruo differently now, with a touch of respect in addition to shock.

Uncle Zhong wasn't giving up. "Aren't there two more?"

Ye Ling'er stood up, suppressing the heavy feeling of nausea in her chest. She looked at Uncle Zhong and then at the other Xiashan brothers, and said with a forced smile, "By the way, one cannot give up halfway."

“Alright,” Li Ruo laughed, “but it’s no one’s fault if he’s crippled. Chief Xie, you should still call out the doctor from your village.”

Xie Xiao: "Okay."

Ye Ling'er wanted him to say something for her and tell her to stop competing, but he said something like that, and a little disappointment flashed through her heart.

But since she's already said it, she'll still keep competing.

The next activity was horseback riding. Black Wind Village was a large area, and Ye Ling'er had only been there for a short time, so no one was familiar with the terrain. It wouldn't be considered taking advantage of Li Ruo.

But Ye Ling'er took a heavy punch, and the hillside was bumpy, so her head hurt from the shaking. She lost to Li Ruo again, and after dismounting, she vomited all over the ground, looking extremely disheveled.

Li Ruo: What do you mean by best two out of three games? This is called a chain reaction; if one move is made, the whole game is lost.

If that punch had landed, there wouldn't have been a second or third match.

At this moment, a light breeze and drizzle were blowing, and the woman on horseback was full of vigor, her radiant face as bright and dazzling as the rising sun.

Sun Ergou, the fourth leader, and the other brothers were all stunned.

Xie Xiao's unwavering gaze was deep and somewhat distant; this was the Li Ruo he knew. In the end, all his emotions were expressed in the irrepressible curve of his lips, as if he hadn't lost.

"Should we compete in the last event?" Sun Ergou asked.

"I, I want to compete again!" Ye Ling'er almost fell off her horse, but no one helped her up.

As brothers and sisters of Black Wind Village, we can afford to gamble and we can afford to lose.

“Okay!” Li Ruo didn’t refuse, and her gaze towards Ye Ling’er held a hint of appreciation.

Each person had ten arrows. Ye Ling'er managed to hit the bullseye twice despite her efforts, but she missed the target with the last two arrows due to dizziness.

Li Ruo only needed to avoid missing the target to win, but she still went all out and hit the bullseye five times. The other times she was very close to the bullseye, as if she was born with the ability to shoot arrows.

Li Ruo won three games in a row.

Ye Ling'er fainted, and Xie Xiao had Uncle Zhong and the doctor who came with her from Zixia Mountain help her back for treatment.

Uncle Zhong looked embarrassed, sighed, and left.

The fourth leader said with admiration, "Knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, you fought desperately to gain the upper hand in the beginning, which greatly increased your chances of winning later."

Li Ruo was never a humble person. When he smiled at him, the Fourth Master felt rather embarrassed.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and his eyes widened. "So, when you went to Beishan to meet the Boss, you deliberately let me capture you?"

Yes, with her skills, if she didn't want me to catch her, I definitely wouldn't be able to get my hands on her easily.
