"Wow, Xiao Jiu, just how strong is she?"

Feng Che glanced at the group and asked curiously, having never asked about her strength during all the days he had been by her side.

They all shook their heads; none of them knew her current strength unless she was willing to reveal it.

Judging from the situation, Feng Che guessed that she must be a Spirit Saint? But she quickly dismissed the idea. She was only a few years old, so it was obviously impossible for her to have reached the Spirit Saint level!

He is a Spirit Lord and he and Hua Shi'an are evenly matched in a fight, yet she was able to exchange so many blows with Hua Shi'an. This doesn't make sense!

"As expected of the master of the Illusionary Dragon, he's strong enough, and a perfect match for me!"

"If you can take action, then stop talking!"

Ji Jiuying glared at him coldly, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

At this moment, Hua Shi'an planted the red-tasseled spear into the snow. A chilling aura brought a cloud of white mist that swept towards Ji Jiuying. In the mist, one could vaguely see a pair of calculating eyes staring intently at Ji Jiuying.

Ji Jiuying spun her palm, swirling up the snowflakes on the ground. She quickly drew a Bagua defensive shield with her Crimson Fire Phoenix Fan. Her body trembled slightly as she suppressed the sweet taste in her throat. She flipped in mid-air before landing on the snow and taking a few steps back.

With her snow-white clothes fluttering, Ji Jiuying put away her Crimson Fire Phoenix Fan.

"Where's your weapon?" Hua Shi'an raised an eyebrow in surprise; he couldn't quite understand her.

"Since you don't use it, why should I?"

As she spoke, Ji Jiuying's eyes flashed slightly, and she silently recited an incantation. Countless vines stretched out from the snow and lashed out fiercely at Hua Shi'an. Hua Shi'an leaped into the air, using his spiritual power to transform into more than a dozen blades, which mercilessly slashed at the vines.

Just then, Hua Shi'an swiftly traversed the vines and appeared in front of Ji Jiuying. He mercilessly slapped Ji Jiuying's body with his right palm. Ji Jiuying leaped backward, and in the ensuing chase, Ji Jiuying's expression turned cold, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She forcefully twisted his hand, leaped into the air, and kicked Hua Shi'an hard in the groin.

The onlookers unconsciously tightened their legs.

"Well done!" Feng Che almost jumped up and clapped his hands!

Hua Shi'an slid backward, kneeling on one knee. His face was somewhat pale. After the pain in his lower body subsided, he stood up and looked at Ji Jiuying, saying, "Princess Anping, if you were to marry me after kicking me, wouldn't that be a disservice to yourself?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely sharp spiritual force mixed with killing intent struck.

A sharp killing intent suddenly appeared before her, and Hua Shi'an's figure vanished from the spot in an instant like a ghost. Ji Jiuying was startled and looked around warily.

"What powerful spiritual magic! No wonder you are the city lord of the far north!"

"What kind of spiritual magic is this?"

"·····"

Feng Che and the others felt a chill run down their spines, secretly sweating for Ji Jiuying!

Hua Shi'an appeared behind Ji Jiuying in an instant, his voice carrying a hint of certainty, "Princess Anping, you're about to lose!"

Ji Jiuying unleashed her most powerful spiritual energy, and just as Hua Shi'an's attack was about to arrive, Ji Jiuying vanished in a flash.

Hua Shi'an narrowed his eyes, a smug smile playing on his lips. It was about to end! He then slightly shifted his power, striking the snow on his right.

However--

The smile vanished abruptly! How could this be!

"What? Lord Hua's prediction was wrong?"

"Is Princess Anping this powerful?"

"Hmph, she just wants to rely on a sneak attack. Our city lord will never lose!" a woman said jealously. Although the city lord would marry that Princess Anping if he won, she would never admit that their city lord would lose to a woman!

"Laughable! You can donate your eyes if you don't want them! It was clearly Lord Hua who launched the sneak attack first, so why can't Princess Anping launch one now?"

"that is!"

"you!"

A group of people were arguing incessantly downstairs!

Countless spiritual energies, imbued with killing intent, surrounded Hua Shi'an. The spiritual energy transformed into sword light, and a powerful force attacked Hua Shi'an from behind. Hua Shi'an reacted swiftly, flipping over to escape the center of the sword light, but his arm and calf were still slashed.

"Hehehe, very good!"

This time, Hua Shi'an's spiritual energy was significantly stronger than before, which shocked the onlookers.

The atmosphere of battle grew increasingly intense, with blood and sweat mingling and filling the air.

Is this the end?

But everyone overlooked the blood lotus between Ji Jiuying's brows, which made her even more alluring and seductive!

Blood continued to gush from the wounds on Hua Shi'an's arms and calves, but he paid no attention to it. This scene constantly stimulated the Blood Lotus, and an overwhelming force swept over him. Ji Jiuying stood still, looking at Hua Shi'an with icy eyes.

Why didn't Anping dodge?

"Could it be that he was scared out of his wits?"

"It's over, this is really the end!"

"Second Master Feng, what's wrong with Miss?" Qingling asked worriedly.

"Perhaps she's waiting for an opportunity!"

Feng Che stared intently at Ji Jiuying, his gaze deep and silent.

Ji Jiuying's figure trembled slightly. Just when everyone thought Ji Jiuying would dodge, she actually went straight to her!

puff--

Countless spiritual energies surged into her body.

"Miss!"

Yingyue grabbed Qingling's arm. "Don't worry, this is what she wanted!"

Qingling looked at Yingyue with a puzzled expression.

Ye Qingchen gripped the jade fan tightly in his hand. He looked at the woman in white, his eyes filled with worry and a hint of surprise.

Even Hua Shi'an was dumbfounded!

"you······"

He was met with Ji Jiuying's icy gaze as she slowly fell downwards! Hua Shi'an reached out to grab Ji Jiuying, but at that moment, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the blood lotus in his hand.

Trying to break free, he was entangled by the blood lotus. A bad premonition spread from Hua Shi'an's heart throughout his body, and the two continued to fall, one above the other.

To everyone's astonishment!

Ji Jiuying's wounds continued to heal, and the spiritual energy from the snow mountain kept surging towards her, causing the spiritual energy in her dantian to rise continuously.

Bang bang—

They advanced to the next round in a row!

"My God! Not only has she recovered from her injuries, but she's also advanced in several rounds!"

"What kind of talent is this that allows someone to advance under such circumstances?"

"I hereby declare! Princess Anping is now my goddess!"

Hua Shi'an stared at Ji Jiuying in disbelief. The blood on her body was being absorbed by the Blood Lotus, making her face pale. Her eyes gradually turned cold and menacing. "Princess Anping, you are truly a pleasant surprise!"

Just as he was about to fall onto the snow, Ji Jiuying vanished from his sight. All he could see was the lingering blood lotus. Hua Shi'an was in a panic. Behind him, Ji Jiuying, holding the Black Night sword, burst through the air. With her left hand, she slapped Hua Shi'an onto the snow, creating a cloud of snow mist. Then, she grabbed Hua Shi'an from behind and twisted him, while her right hand placed the Black Night sword against Hua Shi'an's neck.

"You lost!" Ji Jiuying said expressionlessly.
