Everyone had already imagined the scene of Li Ze being slapped by the eldest princess until his face was bruised and swollen. They looked on with pity, feeling sorry for such a beautiful face and wondering if he would be disfigured.
The eldest princess is an S-rank guide, and no one thought Li Ze could dodge an angry palm strike from an S-rank guide. Even though Li Ze had recently amazed them by piloting his mecha and wreaking havoc among the void beast hordes.
But now he is facing an S-class opponent. There is an insurmountable gap between ordinary people and S-class opponents.
However, the next second, things took an unexpected turn. A loud slap echoed throughout the banquet hall, causing everyone to freeze in shock. How could this be different from what they had anticipated?
Their empire's incomparably noble eldest princess was slapped and fell to the ground, her beautiful face swelling up at a visible speed.
The murderer stood calmly in place, slowly wiping his hands with a damp cloth on the table. After wiping, he tossed the cloth aside as if he were throwing away something dirty.
The eldest princess, sitting on the ground, was stunned. The first thing she did after regaining her senses was to scream wildly, "Li Ze, how dare you hit me! You deserve to die!"
"The last person who dared to raise his hand against me was reduced to ashes. What are you to me!" This time, Li Ze was truly filled with murderous intent.
Those who heard this were stunned. He actually said that the eldest princess was nothing!
Could it be that besides his poor health, Li Ze also has a mental problem?
The eldest princess, who had been called a "thing," was furious. Her murderous aura and violent energy emanated from her. She stared intently at Li Ze, looking as if she wanted to skin him alive.
Li Ze neither dodged nor yielded; his clear black and white eyes held no warmth whatsoever.
The tension between the two escalated, and a fight was imminent.
"No, I have to go and try to persuade Li Ze." Zhou Yang said, and was about to step forward.
"Don't go." Zhou Bai pulled Zhou Yang back. "Li Ze isn't as weak as you think."
The eldest princess took out a long golden whip from her spatial storage.
"Ling Man, you must not harm Commander He's partner." The First Prince frowned.
"Brother, why didn't you say that to him earlier?" Princess Zhao Lingman said discontentedly. "If I don't vent my anger today, how am I supposed to maintain my standing in the empire!"
The eldest prince frowned even more deeply. On one side was his younger sister, and on the other was the partner of an important minister of the empire. He was torn between the two.
"Don't worry, elder brother, I won't take his life," the eldest princess said, flicking her whip and instantly splitting the solid wood bench beside her in two.
It won't kill them, but if they lose an arm or a leg, that's hard to say.
"Li Ze, where's your weapon?" Zhou Yang shouted.
“We don’t need weapons,” Li Ze said dismissively.
These words were extremely grating to the ears of the eldest princess, and she lashed out at Li Ze with her whip.
The long metal whip gleamed coldly, carrying the force of cutting through the air; if it were to fall on a person, it would likely tear their skin and flesh apart.
Li Ze stood still and caught the long whip with his bare hands, his slender, jade-like hands showing no red marks.
How did he do that?
Everyone present was amazed. They even put themselves in the princess's shoes and wondered if they could catch the princess's whip unscathed.
The answer is no.
This Li Ze is no ordinary person; they had misjudged him.
Li Ze and the eldest princess each grabbed one end of the whip. The golden whips exuded a fierce aura, indicating that they had seen a lot of blood in their daily lives.
A murderous aura surged into Li Ze's body, and he sneered, "Since you enjoy whipping people so much, then taste what it's like to be whipped yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, those present did not see what Li Ze did, but they heard the eldest princess scream and release the golden whip.
Thus, the golden whip fell completely into Li Ze's hands.
Snap—
Li Ze lashed out with his whip.
The eldest princess's pupils dilated suddenly, and she hurriedly looked away.
At the same time, she released her quantum beast, a beautiful leopard.
"Little Flower, bite him to death!" the eldest princess said viciously. At this moment, she had forgotten her promise to the eldest prince and was determined to kill Li Ze.
Upon receiving its master's command, the leopard locked its golden vertical pupils onto Li Ze and pounced.
With another crack, this time the whip struck the leopard's face, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound that stretched from its head all the way to its nose.
"Little Flower!" the eldest princess cried out in distress.
The leopard glanced at its owner and charged at Li Ze again.
Li Ze sneered, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me."
After saying that, Li Ze wrapped the whip around the leopard's neck. The golden whip tightened, and the leopard looked pained.
But that wasn't the worst of it. The next second, Li Ze swung his long whip and slammed the leopard to the ground.
With a bang, the hard marble floor cracked.
Next, the sentries and guides present saw Li Ze slam the leopard to the ground again and again. Even ordinary people who couldn't see the leopard could guess its miserable state from the craters that appeared on the ground.
"Li Ze, stop right now!" The eldest princess was furious and drew a quantum gun.
Li Ze didn't even glance at her, and right in front of her, he slammed the leopard hard into the ground again.
"Ah—!" the eldest princess screamed, "You forced me to do this!"
"Ling Man, you can't!" The eldest prince was so frightened that his face turned pale.
However, it was too late—
It’s over!
Those present had already anticipated Li Ze's annihilation, and the more timid ones had already closed their eyes.
But the result once again surprised everyone.
Li Ze did not vanish into thin air; only a leopard was burned to a crisp and lay on the ground, utterly dead.
"Little Flower!" The eldest princess stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Li Ze, prepare to die!"
The eldest princess pointed the muzzle of her quantum gun at Li Ze and fired a series of shots.
Those present, fearing they might be accidentally injured, hurriedly retreated and fled.
Li Ze flashed and reappeared behind the eldest princess. The sound of a whip cutting through the air rang out, followed by a crack as the quantum gun fell to the ground.
The eldest princess screamed again; her right hand was severed and dangling at an eerie angle.
The quantum beast was dead, its arm was broken, and its gun was lost. Everyone thought that was the end of it.
However, Li Ze had no intention of stopping.
In full view of everyone, he severed the eldest princess's other hand and both feet. He was so fast that the eldest prince and the others couldn't stop him in time.
The eldest princess lay on the ground, her eyes filled with venom as she stared intently at Li Ze.
The eldest prince hurriedly came over, picked up the eldest princess, put her into the treatment pod, and pushed the treatment pod away.
Before leaving, the eldest prince gave Li Ze a deep look, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Li Ze, hurry, let's leave the palace." Zhou Yang came over, grabbed Li Ze's hand, and pulled him out.
Lan Shuang, who had been chasing after them, watched them walk further and further away, gritted her teeth, and followed them.
