But what does this have to do with me? She's just a medium to collect the stone; if you're going to find a rival, find the right one!
Also, she spoke as if she knew her very well; Shi Lan was certain she had never met this person before.
Shi Lan's belly was full of questions that kept popping out.
"Who are you?"
Before the words were even finished, the figure spread its ten fingers, its entire body covered in crooked branches that shook angrily.
"I will definitely kill you," the figure suddenly shot over.
"Hey, wait a minute," Shi Lan instinctively dodged, and whether she sensed that she was in danger or not, the Soul-Destroying Nail flew out from Xiang Shisan's body, like a black ghostly light, and pierced into the figure's body in a flash.
The figure paused, then shook violently in pain, and in just a moment her shadow grew fainter and fainter.
Before she disappeared, she grinned, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't be so smug. This is just the beginning. In the end, I will be the only winner."
Shi Lan frowned, completely puzzled.
What is all this about? She still has something to say.
He kept calling out to Mingxiao in his mind, but for some reason, Mingxiao, who used to respond to his calls, didn't move at all this time.
Suddenly, a deafening battle erupted beneath the city wall. Shi Lan peered down from the top of the wall and saw the Wang family's iron cavalry locked in combat with barbarians clad in animal skins, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them.
After a quick search, they finally found the carriage in an inconspicuous corner. Shi Lan climbed up the city wall, jumped down, killed a few barbarians blocking the way, and rescued a few guards.
Just as she was about to step forward, she caught a glimpse of a burly figure approaching. Shi Lan turned her head and saw the man who had been talking to Xiang Shisan.
Shi Lan raised an eyebrow, grabbed the sharp blade from the ground, and ran straight towards the man.
The confrontation ended quickly. Shi Lan wanted to interrogate the person possessing Xiang Shisan about his origins, but the man, seeing that he was no match for him, roared and committed suicide.
Shi Lan was stunned, not expecting this person to be so fierce.
Wang Liu noticed the commotion and turned to say something to the guard.
The guard's face lit up with joy. He spurred his horse forward and roared at the stalemate on the battlefield: "The eldest son of the Yuan family is dead. By order of the young master, his head has been cut off and will be displayed on the city wall for thirty days."
Everyone on the battlefield stopped moving at the guards' shouts. The barbarian turned around and saw a group of black-armored guards gathering in one place.
They howled and rushed over as if their lives depended on it, yet they carried the man carefully and cautiously, step by step, retreating cautiously towards the city gates.
