[How could this man have no sportsmanship? He just charged at me without saying a word!]

[Yeah, keep it up, streamer, beat him!]

[I think this kind of person deserves a beating; the streamer should teach him a lesson!]

Amidst the frenzied barrage of comments, Xu Nian easily dodged Li Ge's sudden and swift attack.

In fact, the moment Xu Nian saw him, she had already prepared to fight back.

Gu Zhan instantly drew his sword, blocking the subordinates who wanted to attack along with Brother Li. He moved through the crowd alone, looking majestic and imposing.

"Ha!"

Li Ge's men immediately rushed towards Gu Zhan, attempting to defeat him with their numerical advantage.

But Gu Zhan was no weakling; in just a few seconds, he was engaged in a fierce battle with them.

Seeing that Gu Zhan had the upper hand, Xu Nian couldn't help but feel relieved.

Brother Li looked slightly flustered, but still forced a smile and said, "If you know what's good for you, beg for mercy now, and I might plead for you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian curled her lips in disdain. "Begging for mercy?"

"You deprive people of their livelihoods and trample on their dignity. I was just reacting as a normal person would. I think you're delusional!"

Listening to Xu Nian's endless rebuttals, Brother Li frowned, unable to utter a rebuttal.

However, he would absolutely not allow anyone to defy the City Lord's authority!

"Quick-witted and eloquent!"

Enraged, Brother Li roared and charged towards Xu Nian without regard for anything else.

Although he appeared effeminate, he was not weak when wielding a sword, accurately targeting Xu Nian's weaknesses.

In his view, Xu Nian was just a young girl and naturally could not be compared with him.

Seeing this, Xu Nian narrowed her eyes.

That's fine, since I haven't had a chance to fight with all my might since the last incident.

I'll take this opportunity to fight Brother Li and see how strong I am now.

In the blink of an eye, Brother Li pointed his sword directly at Xu Nian's heart, his face revealing a fierce expression.

He was aiming for a fatal blow!

Xu Nian chuckled and easily dodged the attack.

[This man looks like a weakling, but he's more ruthless than anyone else when he fights.]

[That's right, the streamer can't go easy on them.]

This kind of person needs to have their arrogance severely curbed!

"Hehe, you're not bad."

A sinister glint appeared in Brother Li's eyes as he raised his hand and swung his sword at Xu Nian again.

He was resting peacefully in his room today when one after another came to complain that someone was planning a rebellion.

After learning a little about the situation, Brother Li discovered that it was Xu Nian, whom he had let in, and immediately objected.

"I let you in because I thought you knew what was good for you. Who knew you would talk back to the city lord like this!" Brother Li cursed.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian remained unmoved. "If making the right choice means defying your so-called city lord, then you are all far too unreasonable."

Her words were sharp, leaving Brother Li speechless, and he could only swing his sword even more vigorously.

However, Xu Nian was agile and thus kept avoiding him.

Seeing Xu Nian dodge, Brother Li suddenly shouted angrily, "If you're so capable, then don't hide! Today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of the city lord!"

"Pfft."

Xu Nian couldn't help but laugh.

Her advantage isn't in going head-to-head with people.

Xu Nian found it ridiculous, "Why aren't you dodging? To get hit by you?"

"coward!"

Brother Li, panting heavily, said with a fierce look on his face, "Stop dawdling and wasting each other's time!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian flicked her wrist and summoned a talisman, which instantly flew towards Brother Li with a golden glow.

She originally planned to continue teasing Brother Li, but seeing that Gu Zhan's battle was almost over, she stopped hiding.

Almost instantly, wind, fire, and thunder descended simultaneously, startling Brother Li into taking a half-step back.

Looking at the large crater in the ground, Brother Li's face showed horror, "What kind of sorcery is this?"

Xu Nian smiled and continued what she was doing.

Although Brother Li was panicked, he naturally did not back down and launched another attack against Xu Nian's talisman.

But how can human strength resist the magic of talismans? Besides, the one who cast the spell was Xu Nian!

"hiss."

Brother Li charged forward to meet the attack, inevitably sustaining cuts and spurts of blood.

But seeing Xu Nian's slightly mocking expression, Brother Li felt angry again and continued fighting with Xu Nian.

The two sides fought fiercely for a while until Brother Li, exhausted, looked at Xu Nian.

Because Xu Nian only dodged and mostly used talismans or magic to launch attacks, he still looked full of energy.

Gu Zhan went even further, single-handedly defeating all the men brought by Brother Li, leaving no one to gain the upper hand.

Xu Nian raised her head slightly, "Should we continue fighting?"

The result was obvious: she won.

Upon hearing this, Brother Li looked up and was startled.

His men, whom he had brought with him, were now sprawled on the ground, looking as if they were on the verge of death.

Gu Zhan stood straight to the side, staring at him coldly.

Brother Li instantly felt a surge of fear rising from the soles of his feet to his heart.

Just who are these two people?

Although he was afraid, Brother Li was, after all, a representative of the city lord's reputation, so he remained silent for a long time.

Xu Nian was getting a little impatient, so she pressed on, "Are you going to continue fighting, or just give up?"

After a long while, Brother Li suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"Heh, do you think this is your victory?"

Seeing his appearance, Xu Nian suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

"When you were opposing me here, did you ever think about the villagers?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was immediately alarmed and clenched her fists.

To prevent the villagers from getting tired, she left them all in the houses.

But regardless, that area is still under Brother Li's jurisdiction, could it be...?

Thinking of this, Xu Nian couldn't sit still any longer and coldly questioned, "What did you do?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Li finally revealed a relieved expression. "Hehe, I didn't do anything. I just used a few tricks to trap them all."

Hearing Brother Li's rather proud words, Xu Nian's gaze turned cold, and she slapped out a talisman with her backhand.

With a crash, scalding flames fell, and the burning Li Ge screamed in agony, "Ah!"

He struggled painfully and said viciously, "No matter how much you torture me, it won't work. As long as I give the order, those villagers will all die without a burial place!"

Hearing his blatantly threatening words, Xu Nian frowned and stopped.

Brother Li burst into unrestrained laughter, "Hahaha, now you know what's good for you!"

Immediately afterwards, he got up from the ground in a disheveled state and patted his dusty clothes.

"If you want your villagers to return unharmed, then come with me to see the city lord."

Brother Li grinned and spoke in a threatening tone.

"Otherwise, today will be their death day!"
