Bang——
A huge pit was formed on the ground, and the huge blood-red sword smashed hard on the short figure. The tremendous impact force was released without any suspense, just like smashing a pig into a meat pie, and a large amount of black and gray blood splashed out.
The blood spurted out from under the giant sword and fell into every corner around it. The plants that came into contact with the corrosive blood immediately withered and burned.
In just one encounter, the shadow assassin Yukara, who was at the ninth level, had his body shattered, leaving him unable to effectively resist. Even for a ninth level, it would take time for the body to recover after being shattered.
"This is the combination of magic and power."
Xu Xianxian raised the giant sword in her hand, experiencing unprecedented power, with a complex gleam in her eyes.
She took off a red curly hair and threw it casually. The hair grew in the wind and turned into a large number of blood-red petals. These petals flew in the air and directly wrapped around Yukala's body. These petals fell on the opponent's body and immediately stretched out fine, sharp roots covered with barbs, hooking deeply into the opponent's flesh.
This is the seventh-level intermediate magic, the Death Vine, which has the effects of binding, bloodsucking, and corrosion.
And Xu Xianxian is used to bind the opponent's body and soul.
She knew that Jiuhuan had undergone a qualitative change in his soul and would not die so easily. His healing ability was incredibly high. As long as his soul was immortal, he could heal and be reborn, and he could rely on his spirit to fight back.
The only way is to consume the opponent's soul, but not let the opponent's soul escape, so restraining the opponent's body and soul is the best way.
Loli Xu raised the giant sword high, and then brought it down heavily.
Bang bang bang bang——
Accelerated by the magic, Xu Xianxian's hands moved at an extremely fast speed, leaving no afterimage. It was so fast that it seemed as if her hands had not moved at all.
However, the sound of the blood-red giant sword colliding echoed back and forth dozens of times, and Yukara, who was tied to the sword blade, was broken apart again while constantly healing.
After dozens of consecutive hits, the ground in front of Xu Xianxian had completely collapsed, a large amount of soil was broken, and the surrounding bushes no longer existed. Even the remains of Yukala's body were completely turned into minced meat under the constant beating, without even a drop of blood left. Then the minced meat cracked inch by inch, began to turn into black ash, and gradually dissipated on the sword blade.
Eyes blessed by magic can see the form of souls, so in Xu Xianxian's pupils full of blood-red petals, the other party has disappeared.
The soul is completely destroyed.
'Absorbed resentment power: 110.'
Listening to the voice coming from her mind, Xu Xianxian just held the giant sword, with no sadness or joy in her heart, just calmness.
She felt the satisfaction brought by this powerful strength, which was even stronger than when she was a martial artist.
"Is this the body of a monster? It possesses powers far exceeding those of humans at this level."
Xu Xianxian stood there and touched her pointed, small, transparent ears.
She calmly watched everything being completely destroyed in front of her. The power brought by the combination of magic and strength far exceeded her initial expectations.
The body and blood of a fairy are indeed not comparable to those when they were human.
"My current magic power is only at the fifth ring, but relying solely on armor and magic sword, I can reach the ninth ring. If..."
She had an idea and glanced at her attributes. Then, without further hesitation, she directly put all the few hundred points of resentment she had into the next step of deduction.
Snap——
There was a slight sound in her mind, and a large amount of magical knowledge she had learned turned into linear data and flowed through her eyes. The dense and mysterious knowledge pried open her deeper understanding of magic.
Suddenly, a pair of translucent fairy wings appeared behind Xu Xianxian. They were platinum in color, and a large amount of elemental power surged on them, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.
Name: Natalie, Race: Elf. Rank: Seventh Ring Mage. Abilities: Bloodthirst, Resentment Power: 35.8, Resentment Required to Deduct Next Ring: 531.
In just a moment, following the rabbit hairpin's deduction, Xu Xianxian was promoted from a fifth-ring mage to a seventh-ring one, and was only one step away from breaking into the eighth-ring level.
This was the benefit of a high-level bloodline; the stronger the strength, the greater the increase in power. Even if Xu Xianxian didn't rely on the hairpin deduction, it would only be a matter of time before she reached the Ninth Ring based on her own practice.
It's just that the goblins' units of time are too long, often one or two hundred years...
"Hmm... Have I regained one of my original martial arts traits?" Xu Xianxian frowned slightly, lost in thought. "I'm a pioneer in the martial arts world, but the road ahead is so uncertain. I can only rely on myself to explore. I have no idea when I'll reach the end."
"But magic is different. Here, there is a complete system and a clear path. As long as I have enough resentment, I can reach any level."
And fairy magic wasn't what she had originally thought.
Because lifespan is directly proportional to physical fitness, fairies have extremely strong physical fitness and are not as frail as we see in movies and novels on Earth.
The Fairy Knight converts magic into melee combat capabilities, and its power remains undiminished, which is exactly what Xu Xianxian is best at.
"Now that I have the princess as my backer, my strength won't be affected no matter how quickly it increases." Feeling the surge of Seven Rings' magic power, Xu Xianxian took a deep breath, but then shifted her gaze to the fragments of the carriage not far away. "But the princess's backing can also bring me fatal disaster. Not long after I left the palace, I was assassinated by a Nine Rings assassin..."
As a member of a knight family, she knew exactly what it meant to be chosen as a royal guard knight. Although she had no title or fiefdom, her status far surpassed that of her father, Lord Oger.
Moreover, Xu Xianxian's backer is the princess, which means that apart from the royal family, princes and dukes, she doesn't have to worry about other nobles below the earl level.
No matter what she did, the Seventh Princess would always take the blame. But similarly, the Seventh Princess's enemies would also be her enemies. And those who could become the Seventh Princess's enemies were generally the top figures in the empire.
"With someone as sensitive as me, there are still people who would kill me without a second thought, without even trying to act. Such an enemy..." Xu Xianxian's red eyes revealed a hint of thought, and then a headache came over her. "It seems I've been dragged into a terrible political storm."
Then she shook her head, took a few steps to the other side, and struck the ground with her giant sword.
"Hey, hey, hey...you've been hiding in there long enough, haven't you?"
