Lan Xueruo's entire aura changed drastically in an instant, and the smiles on the faces of the axe man and the pointed-mouthed man disappeared at once, because they suddenly felt a suffocating sense of oppression from the beautiful girl in front of them.
“Boss, what…what’s going on?” The pointed-mouthed man sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere. As soon as he said this, a white-gold light suddenly flashed past his eyes, and Lan Xueruo raised her sword again, piercing his chest.
The sword was simple and unpretentious, but the momentum it carried was clearly several times stronger than before! The sharp-mouthed man's body was suppressed by this momentum and paused for a moment, then he hurriedly swung his iron rod to meet it. With a sharp collision sound, the sharp-mouthed man's iron rod was directly smashed away, and the jade sword covered with golden light hit the sharp-mouthed man fiercely. The power of this sword was too great, and the white jade sword was bent for a moment, and then it was instantly straightened. The terrifying momentum and power that followed smashed the sharp-mouthed man directly without touching the ground, and he rolled more than ten meters away... If it was not the sword body but the sword blade, the sharp-mouthed man would have been cut in half without any suspense.
This scene made the axe man and the horse-faced man change color, and before they could say anything, Lan Xueruo's figure had already rushed in front of the axe man and stabbed his shoulder with a sword.
The powerful oncoming sword force made the axe man's face turn pale. Unable to avoid it, he quickly gathered all his profound strength, tightly grasped the axe with both hands, and with a low roar, smashed towards Lan Xueruo's sword.
Bang!!!
The axe and the jade sword collided, causing a sharp metal collision sound. The axe man's body sank suddenly, and under the pressure of the powerful force, his feet sank directly into the ground below. Lan Xueruo's sword force stagnated, and then burst out again, slapping the axe man's chest with a sword.
With a "bang", the axe man's body rolled more than ten meters on the ground like a rolling gourd. The axe in his hand was also thrown far away, and after spinning in the air for dozens of weeks, it landed at the feet of the horse-faced man, scaring him so much that his whole body trembled and he stepped back hurriedly.
The axe man, who had rolled more than ten meters away, stood up in a very embarrassed state. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and his sternum was slightly broken. But he knew that if the girl had not shown mercy and used "cutting" instead of "whipping", he and the sharp-mouthed man would have been cut in two. This also showed that the girl was very soft-hearted and did not want to kill anyone.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately knelt on the ground, begging loudly, "Girl, spare my life! The three of us are blind, we...we just thought you looked like a fairy, so we wanted to come closer to admire you more, and we had absolutely no other intentions, please be merciful and let us go."
Lan Xueruo put away her jade sword, a look of disgust on her face. She didn't want to even look at them anymore, and sternly said, "Get out of here right now! The farther the better."
"Yes, yes, we'll get out of here right now, right now." The axe man quickly stood up and winked at the stunned pointy-mouthed man and horse-faced man, and the two men quickly followed him and prepared to leave.
"Put the children down!" Seeing the horse-faced man trying to drag the two children away, she frowned and shouted.
The horse-faced man's expression changed for a while, but when he thought about how she had beaten the sharp-mouthed man and the axe man into a miserable state with just three moves, he had to grit his teeth, let go of the two children, and then left in shame.
If Yun Che was awake now, he would definitely let Lan Xueruo kill all three of them. Because he knew very well that the consequence of being merciful was often not the other party's gratitude, but unpredictable endless troubles. These three people had committed the offense first, and were obviously stained with a lot of sins. Killing them would also be doing justice for the heavens.
But Lan Xueruo was not Yun Che after all. She was kind and gentle in nature. She had never killed anyone in her life and had no intention of killing anyone. She didn’t even want to cut off their hands and feet as a punishment.
The three of them ran a long way in one breath. The horse-faced man gritted his teeth and said, "What a damn bad luck! Not only did I not get to enjoy the beauty, but I also let those two bastards go."
"Come on, you are still alive now, you can thank God. That woman's profound strength is at the True Profound Realm!" The axe man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear. He couldn't understand why he could clearly sense that the other party was at the eighth level of the Nascent Profound Realm, but as soon as he started fighting, her profound strength suddenly increased. That level of profound strength was not weaker than the three deputy captains at the True Profound Realm.
"What? True...True Profound Realm?" The horse-faced man and the pointed-mouthed man were both shocked: "How can a teenage beauty be in the True Profound Realm! Our team leader is almost fifty years old this year, and he is only at the third level of the True Profound Realm!"
"Is there even a need to ask this? That woman must be a genius from some super family! Those big families have a lot of resources and sect-level profound skills, and there are countless people who have broken through the True Profound Realm before the age of 20! It was a close call, luckily she was a soft-hearted woman. If she had been someone with a stronger personality, the three of us would have died here today!"
"The captain should have come here today. He wanted to capture two kids as hostages to win credit, but he almost lost his life. It seems that the captain has to do it himself. Go back quickly!"
………………………………
After driving away the three evil men, Lan Xueruo breathed a sigh of relief and put the necklace back on her neck. Suddenly, the aura of profound energy released from her body weakened rapidly. After two breaths, it weakened to the level of the eighth level of the Profound Realm. In front of her, the two children who had gained freedom were staring at him with wide eyes, tears in their eyes.
Lan Xueruo walked over, bent down slightly and said, "Little brother, little sister, don't be afraid, everything is fine now. Are you children from this mountain? Why were you captured by those three people?"
As soon as she finished asking, the little boy suddenly knelt down in front of her and cried out in a childish voice, "Big sister, please...save our people. Those bad guys have been harming us. Big sister, you are so powerful, you will definitely be able to drive them away."
Seeing the little boy kneeling down, the little girl quickly knelt down as well, tugging at the boy's arm, and said timidly with tears in her eyes: "Big sister, please save us... Woo, save us..."
Lan Xueruo was slightly startled, then she held one of their hands respectively, trying to pull them up from the ground: "Hurry up and get up..."
The little boy was only seven or eight years old, but he had a stubbornness that didn't belong to his age. He refused to stand up and looked at Lan Xueruo with tears in his eyes: "Big sister, please save us. If you don't save us, our entire family will be killed by those bad guys. Only you can save us. We will...will definitely repay you in the future."
The fact that the little boy had called out to her twice before, despite the danger, was enough to prove his kindness. Now, he knelt in front of her, his eyes full of longing and a glimmer of hope beneath his tears... It was like he had finally grabbed a life-saving straw when he was drowning.
Her heart softened immediately. She glanced at Yun Che who was lying quietly behind her. After a slight hesitation, she smiled and said, “Little brother and sister, you two can get up first and take me to see your people, okay?”
The little boy's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. He wiped the tears from his face and nodded vigorously.
Lan Xueruo carefully carried Yun Che on her back and followed the two children towards their home. Along the way, she learned that the boy was called Feng Zuer and the girl was called Feng Xianer, and they were twins of opposite sexes. The surname "Feng" surprised Lan Xueruo a little, because it was clearly the surname of the royal family of the Divine Phoenix Empire! And she learned from the two children that all of their clansmen had the surname "Feng". They had lived in this barren mountain since they were born, and had never gone out, nor had they ever come into contact with people from outside. Because there were many ferocious profound beasts in this area, only the place where they lived was never approached by the profound beasts for some reason. Because of those terrible and dense profound beasts, they had no way to go out, and people from outside could not come in because of the profound beasts.
Until a few days ago, the Black Demon Mercenary Group somehow got here and found their residence, and discovered that this was actually a small guardian family, so they forced them to hand over the treasure they were guarding. The reason why they captured Feng Zuer and Feng Xianer was to force them to hand over the treasure within one day, otherwise, they would be killed.
After turning a low hill, a small village appeared in front of us. At the entrance of the village, several middle-aged men in coarse clothes were standing there, their faces full of anger and helplessness. The woman in the middle was covering her face and crying... On their foreheads, there was a flame-shaped mark.
"Dad...Mom!"
Feng Zu'er and Feng Xian'er flew towards the crying woman while shouting. When the woman heard the children's voices, she raised her head suddenly and stared at Feng Zu'er and Feng Xian'er who were running towards her. She almost thought she was dreaming, until they threw themselves into her arms. Then she hugged them tightly and cried loudly in surprise.
"Zhu'er, Xian'er, what's wrong with you..." The middle-aged man next to them looked excited and was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
"It was that beautiful elder sister who beat away those bad guys and saved us." Feng Zuer turned around and pointed at Lan Xueruo. "The elder sister is not only beautiful, but also very powerful. She beat away the three bad guys in one go."
"Yeah." Feng Xian'er nodded and said with admiration, "Besides, Big Sister also promised us that she would help us drive away those bad guys."
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Lan Xueruo. The middle-aged man took a step forward, bowed deeply to Lan Xueruo, and said sincerely: "Miss, thank you for saving my two children. I really don't know how to thank you... My name is Feng Baichuan, I am the current patriarch here, and this is my wife Feng Caiyun."
"You're welcome. I just happened to be passing by. It's just a small favor." Lan Xueruo said politely. The man in front of him was 34 years old. His appearance and clothes were very simple. There was a hint of elegance and calmness between his eyebrows. The flame mark on his forehead was particularly clear.
But as the head of the clan, his profound strength cultivation was only at the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm, which was indeed a bit too low for his age. And Lan Xueruo immediately noticed that everyone in front of her had profound strength at the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm, which was extremely uniform.
"Thank you, thank you so much." Feng Caiyun bowed to Lan Xueruo, feeling so grateful that she didn't know what to say.
"It's great that Zu'er and Xian'er can come back safely. But, those evil villains... Alas." A white-bearded old man next to him first breathed a sigh of relief, and then let out a long sigh.
“Big sister is very powerful. She will definitely be able to drive away all those evil villains.” Feng Zuer, who had witnessed Lan Xueruo’s “divine power” with her own eyes, clenched her fists and said with full confidence.
But his words did not dispel their worries. They believed that she must have a very high level of profound strength since she was able to save two children from the three evil thieves. However, she looked like a little girl of only seventeen or eighteen years old. How high could she be? The other party was a notorious mercenary group with a scale of hundreds of people. Its leader and three deputy leaders all had the cultivation level of the True Profound Realm. How could a little girl resist them?
