Faced with Ye Qianqian's deadly arrow, a sword suddenly appeared in Xiao Qingluan's hand.

The sword has a long, slender blade that gleams with a cold light, and the runes engraved on it faintly exude a mysterious aura.

Ye Qianqian and Xiao Qingluan are of similar strength, both being beginner-level martial artists.

Ye Qianqian's Moon-Breaking Bow is a mid-grade magic weapon, which is quite remarkable, but Xiao Qingluan's sword is an even more precious spiritual weapon. Even though it is only a low-grade weapon, its grade and power are far superior to the Moon-Breaking Bow.

Xiao Qingluan swung her sword to parry, and the runes on the sword instantly shone with a dazzling light, as if the power of stars were gathering.

This light not only instantly blocked Ye Qianqian's fierce arrow, but also knocked the arrow away with its powerful force. The arrow drew an arc in the air and fell far away, losing its power.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qianqian was furious. Her true energy surged like a raging tide, continuously flowing into the Broken Moon Bow. Then, she gently pulled the bowstring of the Broken Moon Bow.

In an instant, the Moon-Breaking Bow stopped firing real arrows and instead fired condensed energy arrows.

As a beginner-level martial artist, the energy flowing within her dantian and meridians is true essence, not true qi. Therefore, she must rely on this mid-grade magic weapon to launch qi arrows.

The air arrow whistled through the air, its power significantly greater than the previous arrows.

Its speed was astonishing, leaving behind afterimages, like a sharp blade slicing through space.

Ye Qianqian didn't make a move unless she was absolutely sure, but when she did, she unleashed her strongest attack. These dense arrows of energy resembled a net of death, threatening to engulf Princess Xiao Qingluan in an instant.

Previously, she had said in the city lord's mansion that she would help her brother Ye Qianqiu capture this beautiful little girl as a slave, but now, she only wants to kill this little girl.

"break!"

Xiao Qingluan let out a low shout, the sound of which, though not loud, contained boundless power.

She swung her sword repeatedly, unleashing streaks of sword energy.

The sword energy, like a nimble dragon, intertwined in front of her, forming an impenetrable defense.

The moment those energy arrows came into contact with the sword energy, they were instantly shattered like fragile bubbles, turning into nothingness and dissipating into the air, as if a mud ox had entered the sea.

Ye Qianqian was shocked. She had thought that the beautiful little girl in front of her was at a similar level to herself and would definitely not be able to withstand her killing move.

To his utter surprise, his all-out killing move was so easily countered by his opponent.

Moreover, given her level of cultivation, it would be extremely difficult for her to fully unleash the power of the Moon-Breaking Bow.

After firing more than a dozen arrows with the Moon-Breaking Bow, her internal energy was greatly depleted. At this point, she could only fire a few more arrows before she could no longer continue.

"This sword is actually a spiritual weapon. No wonder you, little loli, are so arrogant."

Ye Zhong's face instantly darkened, and he let out a cold snort.

His voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, carrying a chill and boundless killing intent.

"put!"

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand, a gesture that carried an undeniable air of dominance, and decisively gave orders to his elite subordinates.

Ye Zhong's adopted son, Ye Meng, had been keeping a close eye on the situation like a hawk, and immediately understood and made a gesture to attack.

The city's elite garrison instantly and uniformly raised their crossbows, their movements skillful and swift, clearly the result of countless hours of training.

This repeating crossbow is a meticulously crafted piece, and its power should not be underestimated.

Although it is slightly inferior in quality and power to Ye Qianqian's Moon-Breaking Bow, it has unique advantages: it can fire continuously and has strong destructive power without the need to inject true energy.

Once all one hundred crossbows fire at once, the scene will be extremely terrifying, with a real rain of arrows pouring down.

Even with a mid-grade spiritual weapon (spirit sword) in her hand, it would be no easy task for Xiao Qingluan to completely block such a dense and persistent rain of arrows.

With Xiao Qingluan's current level of skill, she might be able to barely withstand the first wave of fire, but to withstand the second wave would be virtually impossible.

"Gentlemen, you've all made up your minds. Once you leave the Fang family, you can settle your scores as you see fit, but killing someone in my Fang family is unacceptable!"

At this critical moment, Fang Han suddenly spoke, appearing very assertive.

Fang Han's gaze swept back and forth between Xiao Qingluan, Ye Zhong, and the others, his brows furrowing slightly.

He didn't really like this princess, thinking she was a bit spoiled. But at this moment, the princess was a guest at the Fang family. If she were killed on Fang family territory, what would become of the Fang family's reputation?

Moreover, through these two encounters, he had come to know Xiao Zhan, the Prince of Zhenbei, well.

Xiao Zhan is visionary and decisive in his work. The fact that he was appointed as the Supreme Guest Elder of the Demon Suppression Division is enough to show his extraordinary qualities.

If the Prince of Zhenbei knew that he was right next to Princess Xiao Qingluan but did not help her, he would probably harbor resentment towards him.

For Fang Han, it was still necessary to befriend someone like the Prince of Zhenbei, because Tianyuan County was located within the Prince of Zhenbei's fiefdom.

If the Fang family wants to gain a foothold in Yanming City and have a place in Tianyuan County and even Yanlong Kingdom, they need to maintain good relations with various forces. Maintaining a good relationship with the Prince of Zhenbei will ensure the Fang family's stability.

"Fang Han said she wasn't interested in me, but now it seems she's still worried about me and afraid I'll get hurt. I think she likes me too. With him taking action, Ye Zhong and Ye Qianqian's group are going to get a beating today."

Upon hearing Fang Han's words, Princess Xiao Qingluan was overjoyed.

Although this woman was somewhat presumptuous, she was actually very clever. Seeing that Fang Han was about to make a move, she immediately fell silent, intending to use Fang Han as a shield so that Ye Zhong and Ye Qianqian would have to fight a losing battle.
