A group of ten people, led by Zhao Yaqing, walked towards the center of the camp and soon arrived in front of Zhao Yaqing's tent.
Zhao Yaqing ordered four patrolmen to tie up the four unlucky guys and take them to a position about ten feet away from her.
She took out a sword from her Qiankun bag, drew it out, looked at the cold sword light and said to the four people: "It just so happens that I have some insights into sword energy these days. You are honored to let me test the sword energy. If I can gain insights into sword energy because of this, your death will be worthwhile. Who knows, I will remember you because of this..."
Isn't it a punishment? Why does it involve death? So the four members of the patrol team quietly left the four people and stood farther away.
The four unlucky guys instantly became weak at the knees. The skinny man knelt down and begged Zhao Yaqing for mercy, "My lord, please spare my life. I will not say anything more in the future."
"Do you still want to go on?" Zhao Yaqing sneered and closed her eyes. She controlled the magic power in her body and followed the method of releasing the sword energy she had realized. The magic power flowed into the sword according to the rules and pointed it fiercely at the thin-faced man...
“Bang!”
There was a slight sound of air explosion at the tip of her sword.
“Ahhh!”
The thin man screamed and lay down in the snow, thinking he was dead.
After waiting for a long time, he realized that he didn't feel any pain. Then he stood up and looked at Zhao Yaqing, who looked grim. It turned out that Zhao Yaqing's spell had failed.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and his soul returned to his body.
“Sword Qi!”
Zhao Yaqing looked at the tip of the sword in her hand with a fierce look in her eyes.
She could clearly feel her magic power condensing into sword energy and flowing out from the tip of the sword! But! Every time the sword energy left the sword, it instantly dissipated into the air and could never form sword energy!
"Why does a tiny sword energy dare to disobey me like this?!"
She still remembered that four years ago, she was shamefully defeated by a crazy girl who had only practiced for a few months, all because of the sword energy!
Crazy girl, a few months, sword energy!
And she, Zhao Yaqing, has been practicing for seven years. Three years later, another four years, a total of seven years, and now she is still in the late stage of foundation building and has not yet comprehended the sword energy.
What a shame! ! !
And when she claimed to be a genius, this sense of shame became even stronger.
Zhao Yaqing turned around and looked in the direction of Wuyi City with bloodthirsty eyes. The sword energy that frightened her once again intensified the fear and shame in her heart.
A rude and wild girl whom she looked down upon, but whose cultivation and talent were superior to hers, was enough to make her feel miserable.
She remembered that when she went to see Elder Ziyi two days ago, she learned from Elder Ziyi that Li Shiyin had fought with Elder Ziyi for several rounds and was not at a disadvantage...
Who was Elder Zi Yi? He was a Nascent Soul giant! He was someone who could crush Zhao Yaqing to death with just one finger. He was someone who stood in front of her, and she dared not even look up or look directly at him.
And Li Shiyin could fight against such an existence, and still not! Fall! Down! The wind!!
"Ah!!!!" Zhao Yaqing became angrier the more she thought about it. She suddenly mobilized all her magic power, poured it all into the sword, and then suddenly released it out according to the technique of releasing sword energy.
Then……
"boom!"
A louder sound was heard in the air!
But, there was still no sword energy.
Yes is yes, no is no. Reality will not change because of her personal emotions or anger.
She didn't have a deep understanding of sword energy and didn't have enough talent in swordsmanship, so she couldn't use sword energy.
This time, the failure of trying her best finally drove Zhao Yaqing completely crazy. Her scheming and scheming that she was proud of had already disappeared because of jealousy and shame. She stretched out her body, came in front of the thin man, and then her sword rained down...
In an instant, the thin man turned into a bloody man.
At this moment, in front of these soldiers who were unable to offer any defense, Zhao Yaqing showed the demeanor of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.
Qin Ran stood by and watched this scene.
He followed here originally intending to find a way to kill these two women, as they had snatched their lives four years ago. But now, he suddenly felt that it was unnecessary, and he focused on finding a way to kill Zhao Li.
Oh, there is no doubt that the patrol soldier who stepped forward first was Qin Ran... He has a clone and can do whatever he wants.
After leaving enough sword marks on the skinny man, Zhao Yaqing's anger finally subsided. By this time, the skinny man had been dead for a long time.
She sheathed her sword, and the thin man fell to the ground in the snow.
"You guys go!" She seemed to have turned back into the scheming eldest daughter of the Zhao family, and spoke to the remaining three soldiers in a flat tone.
"Thank you, Princess, for not killing me!" The three men were already frightened and kowtowed immediately.
Qin Ran stepped forward, untied the three men, helped them up one by one, and led them out of the tent.
But they had just taken a few steps when Zhao Yaqing suddenly said, "Stop!"
Qin Ran clearly felt that the six people around him were all shaking with fear.
But they still stopped as they were told, and even turned around and bowed to Zhao Yaqing.
"You're not bad. Just follow me for a while!" Zhao Yaqing said. She saw that this man had good eyesight (he would execute orders immediately after she gave them) and courage (he showed no fear when she was angry or killing people). He was capable of serving tea and doing odd jobs.
The people here looked up, and Qin Ran saw Zhao Yaqing looking at him, and he immediately understood. Zhao Yaqing didn't choose anyone else, but chose him, the man who wanted to kill her.
Well... okay.
Qin Ran hurriedly bowed his head and saluted Zhao Yaqing, saying, "Thank you, Princess!"
So eight people came and six left.
Zhao Yaqing had killed someone and was covered in blood. She put the sword back into her Qiankun bag and went into the tent to take a shower without telling Qin Ran anything.
Seeing this, Qin Ran neither left nor entered the tent, but just stood at the door of the tent.
It was normal for him not to go into the tent, but why didn't Zhao Yaqing's protector go in either? This was very strange.
Qin Ran vaguely discovered that the relationship between this protector and Zhao Yaqing was not like the relationship between a protector and a genius, but more like the relationship between a servant and a master.
This can be seen from the time they fought over the natal sword four years ago, because it seemed that Zhao Yaqing was the one who led it.
The most important thing is that Zhao Yaqing's talent is not that of a genius, and she is not worthy of having a protector.
You know, people with talents like Li Shiyin and Lu Junxing don’t have protectors.
"Strange..." Qin Ran thought to himself, but he did not dare to look at the Taoist priest and just thought about it in his mind.
After a long time, Zhao Yaqing washed the blood off her body, put on new clothes, became as beautiful as before, and walked out of the tent slowly.
The snow was still falling, and the skinny man's body had been taken care of, with the bloodstains covered by the snow. The sky and the earth were all white, and in the heavy snow, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
“The emperor’s uncle called me over to discuss matters…” She stood in front of Qin Ran, not looking at him directly, and said calmly, “When we get to the big tent, don’t talk nonsense.”
"Yes." Qin Ran replied.
