"Insolence!" A guard roared in anger. This man dared to talk back to the princess, which she could not tolerate. Before she finished speaking, she had already lashed out at Chief Hu with her riding whip.
Chief Hu kept his eyes fixed on Li Xue and Lin Xi, and didn't even notice a female guard whipping him. This guard was exceptionally skilled and moved with incredible speed.
By the time Chief Hu noticed the whip coming at him, it was too late to dodge; it seemed he was destined to be struck.
Just as the whip was about to touch Chief Hu, a young man beside him raised his right hand, grabbed the whip that was being lashed out, and with a forceful pull, the whip in the guard's hand was in the young man's hand.
Once he got the whip, the young man didn't hesitate. He raised the whip and lashed it at the guard, who dodged it. The two then started fighting.
It all happened so suddenly that bystanders quickly stepped back and watched the two fight.
After only a dozen or so rounds, the guard gradually lost ground and soon could only parry without being able to retaliate. Another guard quickly stepped forward to help, and the two of them were now fighting one.
Those around held their breath as they watched the three fight. Soon they realized that even the two guards combined were no match for the young man.
Li Xue knew in her heart that the guards around her were all carefully selected and very capable fighters, but even the two of them combined were no match for this young man. It seemed that there were indeed experts in the Ma family.
She estimated that this person's strength was no less than her own, and there was another young man beside him who was also probably very strong. It seemed that she had met a tough opponent today, and she absolutely could not defeat him. If she were captured by the Ma family, she would be in big trouble.
Thinking of this, she decided to replace the two guards. The young man had been fighting for a long time and his speed had slowed down considerably. She estimated that it wouldn't be difficult for her to subdue him.
Thinking of this, Li Xue shouted, "You two step back and hand him over to me."
The princess gave the order, and the two dared not delay. They feinted and jumped out of the circle, panting heavily.
Li Xue stepped forward, and without wasting words, immediately took action, wanting to finish the battle quickly.
"Wait," Chief Hu said, glancing at another young man.
"You go ahead and let him rest. I'm telling you, whatever you do, don't hurt this girl. You must capture her alive. I want to take her back to be my wife."
"Don't worry, Chief. No matter how powerful she is, I will capture her and hand her over to you within three moves."
Upon hearing this, Li Xue flew into a rage.
"Shameless scoundrel, come and die!"
Standing to the side, Chen Daniu was terrified. This person wanted to take Princess Li Xue back to be his wife. How could that be allowed? The princess must not be taken away by them, otherwise the head of the family and his master would not let him off the hook.
Thinking of this, Chen Daniu shouted, "Princess, step back and let me go."
Seeing Chen Daniu rushing forward, Li Xue had no choice but to retreat.
As soon as Chen Daniu replaced Li Xue, the other party rushed over and threw a punch at Chen Daniu's chest. The speed was so fast that no one could react at all.
In just one exchange, Li Xue could tell that this person's kung fu was stronger than the previous one's, and that she was definitely no match for him. She began to worry about Chen Daniu.
When Chen Daniu saw the other party throw a punch, he didn't dodge. He reached out and grabbed the man's fist. Before the man could react, Chen Daniu grabbed the man's belt with his other hand and lifted him over his head.
This is a wrestling move created by Chen Daniu. Anyone who wrestles with him for the first time is likely to suffer a loss, and this young man is no exception.
After lifting the man above his head, Chen Daniu began to spin him around. After spinning once, he saw two large stone lions at the entrance. Without hesitation, he smashed the man down onto the stone lions.
With a loud bang, the large stone lion shook, and the man had a close encounter with it.
Looking at this person again, he was lying motionless on the ground, covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell whether he was alive or dead.
All of this happened in an instant. Before anyone could react, Chen Daniu rushed towards Chief Hu. This man had just said he wanted to take Li Xue back to be his wife, and he wouldn't let him get away with it. He would make sure to smash him to death.
Chaos erupted at the scene. Chief Hu was terrified. Although he was skilled in martial arts, this fool was not human at all. If he were caught by him, he would surely die.
Chief Hu fled, protected by the young man beside him. Seeing Chen Daniu charging towards them, he casually threw a dart straight at Chen Daniu's throat.
As Chen Daniu was running, he saw a flash of cold light and knew something was wrong. He quickly dodged, but because the distance was too close, he was still a little too slow, and the dart hit his shoulder.
Li Xue and Lin Xi were taken aback. They drew their swords and rushed forward, but in the blink of an eye, Chief Hu and the young man had vanished without a trace.
"Da Niu, how are you?" Li Xue asked anxiously.
"Princess, it's nothing. This little injury is like a mosquito bite, it's nothing at all."
At this moment, Li Xue turned around, held her sword to Master Ma's neck, and asked:
"Who are those three people? Are they members of the Ma family?"
At this moment, Master Ma was sweating profusely and trembling all over. He knelt down with a thud. He had clearly heard this foolish boy call the girl "Princess." Their Ma family had offended the Princess, which was a capital offense.
When the other members of the Ma family saw that Master Ma had knelt down, they also knelt down.
"Princess, please forgive us. We really didn't know you were a princess. Those three people weren't from the Ma family. They were from Wild Wolf Village. That man was the village chief, surnamed Hu. The two young men were his subordinates. However, he was badly injured, and we don't know if he's dead or alive."
At this moment, Lin Xi walked over. Looking at the Ma family members kneeling on the ground, she said:
"This is the daughter of the current Fourth Prince, named Li Xue. Fortunately, the princess was not harmed today, otherwise your entire family would have been executed."
Upon hearing this, the Ma family members all kowtowed, terrified.
"Princess, spare our lives! Let the Ma family go!"
Li Xue withdrew the sword from Ma Yuanwai's neck and spoke coldly:
"Whether your Ma family can escape this calamity depends on yourselves. Last time you went to Shuixian Village to cause trouble and make trouble for Zhao Lushi, he was an official appointed by the Emperor. Even though I am a princess, I still treat him with respect. If your Ma family is tired of living, then go ahead and make trouble for him."
"Princess, spare us! We will never dare to do it again, and we will never associate with the people of Wild Wolf Stronghold again."
"Alright, get up, everyone. Master Ma, quickly go find a doctor to remove the darts from my men's shoulders and apply some medicine."
Also, have a doctor check if this person can be saved. The authorities will take him away later, so you must not let him go.
"Alright, please come inside and rest, Princess. I'll have the doctor treat this young man's injuries first. Also, our Ma family will take good care of him and hand him over to the authorities later."
Li Xue nodded, and the group followed Master Ma into the Ma residence.
