"As long as I drain you dry, this medicinal cauldron, I can enhance my aptitude and become a dazzling prodigy. It is a blessing from your previous life to die under a peony tonight..."
<...Xiao Qingluan raised the horsewhip high, having already poured her true essence into it. The whip whistled through the air and was quite heavy.
If Ye Qianqian's delicate body were struck squarely, it wouldn't just be a minor injury; she would definitely be torn open and bleeding profusely.
"Do you even know who I am? How dare you lay a hand on me?"
When Ye Qianqian saw that Xiao Qingluan had attacked her first, her face flushed with anger, and her heart burned with rage.
She had just suffered a setback at Fang Han's hands, and knew that if she went back to confront Fang Han head-on, she would be no match for him with her strength.
But right now, Xiao Qingluan's reckless provocation has given her a perfect target to vent her pent-up anger.
She moved with ghostly speed, instantly dodging Xiao Qingluan's swift whip strike. Then, she leaped high into the air, drawing a clean arc as she delivered a flying kick that whistled through the wind, slamming it hard into Xiao Qingluan's mount.
Ye Qianqian, as a mid-level martial artist, is a standout among the younger generation in Yanming City, and her strength should not be underestimated.
Her angry strike was quite powerful.
Xiao Qingluan's mount was hit so hard that it was sent flying almost instantly, crashing to the ground with a painful neigh and raising a cloud of dust.
However, Xiao Qingluan was no easy person.
She was also a mid-level martial artist, with a cultivation level comparable to Ye Qianqian's.
The mount suddenly went out of control, but Xiao Qingluan remained calm and composed. She leaped up as lightly as a swallow, instantly taking flight.
She was in mid-air, and with a flick of her wrist, she discarded the now useless whip. At the same time, a flash of cold light appeared, and a sharp longsword suddenly appeared in her hand.
The moment the sword was drawn, it pierced towards Ye Qianqian with a chilling aura; the tip of the sword seemed capable of tearing the air apart.
It's clear that she must have a storage magic item to be able to summon her weapon so quickly.
Ye Qianqian's eyes sharpened, and she flashed again, narrowly avoiding the sword tip's vital point. Then, she raised her right palm high, slapping the side of the sword that Xiao Qingluan had thrust at her with a whistling wind.
But the moment her palm touched the sword, the runes on the sword suddenly shone brightly, and a mysterious and powerful force surged forth like a raging wave, forcefully pushing the unsuspecting Ye Qianqian away.
Ye Qianqian was secretly alarmed. She could tell that Xiao Qingluan's sword was full of killing intent and was far beyond the reach of ordinary magic weapons. It was probably already at the level of a spiritual weapon.
Although Xiao Qingluan's current cultivation level is not enough to unleash the full power of this sword, Ye Qianqian did not bring her Broken Moon Bow with her today. How could she possibly defeat Xiao Qingluan, who wields a sharp weapon, with just her bare hands?
Ye Qianqian somersaulted several times in the air, and after landing, she retreated more than ten steps. Before she could even regain her footing, Xiao Qingluan had already drawn her sword and attacked again like a shadow.
Seeing that Ye Qianqian was about to be in dire straits, Zhenbei King Xiao Zhan's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Don't use excessive force!"
In his mind, Ye Qianqian and her younger sister Xiao Qingluan had no deep-seated hatred. They were just two hot-blooded, willful, and spoiled young girls who got into a fight over a few words. There was really no need to cause a death.
Moreover, this place is in front of the Fang family's gate. In his eyes, Fang Han is not only his savior, but also unfathomable.
Let alone his own sister, even he himself wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous on the Fang family's territory.
But Xiao Qingluan was never one to suffer a loss. Her mount had been kicked away by Ye Qianqian and was lying on the ground, barely alive. How could she swallow this insult?
Ignoring the shouts of Zhenbei King Xiao Zhan, she still thrust out her sword swiftly.
Today, even if she doesn't kill Ye Qianqian, she will leave a hole in Ye Qianqian's body so that Ye Qianqian knows how many eyes Master Ma has.
Ye Qianqian was not on her feet at this moment, how could she possibly dodge Xiao Qingluan's sword?
As the sword was about to pierce her chest, her face turned pale.
At this moment, Fang Han, Tantai Qiuyue, Fang Zhendong, Tang Yumei, Fang Sihai, Fang Qing, and Zhou Chi had already come out.
"Show mercy!"
When Tantai Qiuyue saw Ye Qianqian in danger, she cried out in distress.
She had certainly met Prince Zhenbei, Xiao Zhan, and Princess Xiao Qingluan before. She didn't know why Prince Zhenbei and Princess Xiao Qingluan had come here, or why Princess Xiao Qingluan and Ye Qianqian had started fighting.
Although Princess Qingluan was no ordinary person, she regarded Ye Qianqian as her younger sister, and of course she didn't want anyone to hurt Ye Qianqian.
She wanted to do something to stop Xiao Qingluan, but it was too late.
Fang Zhendong and Tang Yumei's faces immediately turned pale.
They didn't know Xiao Qingluan's identity yet, but they knew that if Ye Qianqian died in the Fang family, the Fang family would be in huge trouble, since Ye Qianqian was Ye Zhong's only daughter.
Just when everyone thought Ye Qianqian was doomed, there was a "whoosh!" sound. Fang Han reacted quickly, flicked his finger, and a powerful burst of energy shot out from his fingertip, like a precise arrow, hitting Xiao Qingluan's sword without missing a beat.
Xiao Qingluan felt the sword in her hand suddenly vibrate, and a powerful force came from it, causing the sword to fly out of her hand uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, Fang Han moved his mind, and the sword seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, flying straight into his hand.
Ye Qianqian was already drenched in cold sweat from fright, large beads of sweat rolling down her forehead and soaking a large area of her back. She gasped for breath, still shaken, and it took her a while to calm down.
"Fine, so you're all ganging up on me? You think I'm easy to bully? You just wait and see."
Ye Qianqian forced herself to remain calm, glared at Fang Han and Xiao Qingluan for a few moments, and then fiercely uttered those words before leaping lightly onto her horse.
She spurred the horse hard, and the horse neighed loudly, raising a cloud of dust before quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
"I have to go after Ye Qianqian right away, or something bad will happen."
Tantai Qiuyue whispered something to Fang Han. She knew Ye Qianqian's personality. Ye Qianqian left quickly, not because she was afraid. Ye Qianqian did not know the identities of Zhenbei King Xiao Zhan and Xiao Qingluan. She must have gone to call for help. If Ye Zhong brought his experts, things would escalate further.
She couldn't care less about seeing her superior, Prince Zhenbei Xiao Zhan, and was about to leap out to chase after Ye Qianqian.
"No need to chase after her. Let her go and call for backup. With her personality, she really needs to be taught a lesson."
Fang Han suddenly grabbed Tantai Qiuyue's arm.
Ye Qianqian rode her horse very fast, and before Tantai Qiuyue could say anything more, she had already gone far away.
"Who is this young lady? Why is she so close to Mr. Fang Han?"
After Xiao Qingluan drove Ye Qianqian away, she saw a woman with an outstanding figure standing next to Fang Han. This woman was wearing a veil and was pulling and tugging at Fang Han. She immediately became jealous.
She was no ordinary person; she immediately stepped forward and reached out to remove Tantai Qiuyue's veil.
She is very interested in Fang Han now, but she won't allow any other woman to have a thing for him.
