Before Zhai Xinyu's smile could fade, her pupils contracted sharply in the next instant.
A slender hand suddenly grabbed her neck and lifted her off the ground.
Zhai Xinyu lifted her feet off the ground, thrashing about wildly, and unleashed her power as she attacked Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan neither dodged nor evaded, but directly launched the attack. Not only was she unharmed, but she also did not retreat even half a step.
Zhai Xinyu's strength is only at the second level of the Creation Realm. If it weren't for the fact that her father is the city lord, she wouldn't be able to survive in the Chaotic City at all, and she might even be swallowed up by someone else.
Her attacks did not cause any harm to Ruan Xiyan. Only then did she realize that she seemed to have provoked a formidable person.
Ruan Xiyan used her other hand to pat the hem of her robe that had been lifted up by the force.
Zhai Xinyu struggled to breathe, her face turning bluish-purple, and she managed to utter a few words with difficulty, "You...you...what do you want to do!"
"I'll kill you." As soon as Ruan Xiyan finished speaking, before Zhai Xinyu could say anything more, she ruthlessly snapped her neck and threw her out of the room.
As she threw it out, Ruan Xiyan applied force to her hand.
As Zhai Xinyu smashed the door open, the force of her attack also knocked the guards in the courtyard to the ground.
Before the guards could even cry out, they saw Ruan Xiyan emerge from the room, and Zhai Xinyu lying lifeless on the ground.
"How dare you kill our young city lord! The city lord will not let you get away with this."
Ruan Xiyan scoffed, "So what if he's a local bully? Why does he have to give himself the title of city lord? Shameless."
Ruan Xiyan laughed and cursed as she knocked away the charging guards.
"Damn it! Who dares to cause trouble in my City Lord's Mansion?" Zhai Hui noticed the commotion in Zhai Xinyu's courtyard and knew something had happened, so he rushed over immediately.
Upon entering, they found Zhai Xinyu lying lifeless on the ground. "Yu'er—"
Zhai Hui picked up Zhai Xinyu from the ground, his hands trembling. He roared to the sky in anguish, "Father is too late."
Just a moment ago, Yu'er came to tell him that she had brought back two handsome male concubines, but now she lies here lifeless.
The man Yu'er brought back was hardly a male concubine; it was clearly inviting a wolf into the house, which ultimately cost her her life.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was contorted as he glared at the culprits standing in the courtyard. "You dared to kill my daughter! I'll make you pay with your lives!"
Zhai Hui put Zhai Xinyu's body down, and a long knife appeared in his hand. "Where are the strongmen in the manor? Come with me, the city lord, and we'll tear them to pieces."
"Yes, City Lord." The hidden experts in the mansion all appeared.
Zhai Hui, gripping a long sword, charged toward Ruan Xiyan and the others with bloodshot eyes.
Ruan Xiyan revealed the Frostfall Sword in her hand, and her eyes instantly became vigilant and sharp.
Fu Chishang stretched his limbs and said, "Xiao Xi, I'll deal with this old man."
"No! It's mine, don't try to take it from me." There was no fear in Ruan Xiyan's eyes, but rather a hint of excitement.
Zhai Hui is a high-level pseudo-immortal, and she has long wanted to compete with a pseudo-immortal.
Looking at Ruan Xiyan's confident appearance, Fu Chishang agreed, "Okay, then leave the others to me. Ziren and I will hold them off for you."
"Thank you for your trouble, Sect Master Fu."
Fu Chishang clashed with the other powerful figures, while Ruan Xiyan directly blocked Zhai Hui's attack.
"Bang!" The two collided. Zhai Hui remained unmoved, while Ruan Xiyan stumbled back a few steps.
"A mere ninth-level Supreme Realm cultivator dares to confront this city lord head-on? He's courting death!" Zhai Hui unleashed a slash.
Ruan Xiyan gripped the Frostfall Sword to block, but the overwhelming force forced her back a step, her hand going numb from the immense impact.
The power of the pseudo-immortal realm is indeed incomparable to that of the supreme realm; it can be said that the two are not even on the same level.
Black, glazed demonic flames ignited on Ruan Xiyan's left hand, containing pure demonic energy.
Her left hand brushed across the blade of the Frostfall Sword held in her right hand, and the already chilling blade was now tinged with flames.
The icy blue mist and flames coexisted on the sword, creating an eerie yet harmonious effect.
“Continue,” Ruan Xiyan said, taking the initiative.
Her own supreme spiritual power is difficult to compare with the power of a pseudo-immortal, so what about the Glazed Demon Flame?
Ruan Xiyan's Frostfall Sword clashed with Zhai Hui's longsword, producing a sharp and piercing sound.
The two continuously channeled their inner power into their weapons, and this time Ruan Xiyan did not retreat even half a step.
Whether it was Zhai Hui, who was fighting, or Fu Chishang, who was keeping an eye on Ruan Xiyan, both showed surprise on their faces.
"How could this be! Your strength is only at the ninth level of the Supreme Realm. In the past, you would have been an ant that I, the city lord, could crush at will. How could you be able to contend with me to this extent?"
"This is nothing, the real fun is yet to come." Ruan Xiyan revealed a flamboyant smile, and the Frostfall Sword flashed with light.
Sword Spirit Abyss appeared behind Ruan Xiyan.
"This is... a sword spirit!" Zhai Hui had barely finished speaking when he sensed that Ruan Xiyan's aura had suddenly become stronger.
In an instant, he was thrown back and slammed hard against the wall behind him, causing the wall to collapse with a crash.
"Cough cough cough." Zhai Hui crawled up from a pile of rubble, his body covered in dirt and looking extremely disheveled.
"You brat, you're quite something! You actually managed to injure me, the city lord." Zhai Hui said through gritted teeth, "Now that you've stepped into the city lord's mansion, don't even think about leaving. It's a fight to the death."
"Kill them!" Zhai Hui shouted at the guards of the city lord's mansion, clutching his chest.
All the guards attacked Ruan Xiyan and her two companions, hoping to surround them with their superior numbers.
Those guards who could work under Zhai Hui, a local tyrant, were all quite capable; they were all ruthless and desperate men who had risked their lives on the line.
Fu Chishang and Ziren killed all the approaching guards, but they couldn't stop them from being on someone else's territory.
They wanted to exhaust the strength within them by using sheer numbers.
"It's about having more people," Ruan Xiyan murmured. "I'm not afraid."
The Beast-Suppressing Tower appeared above Ruan Xiyan's palm, and then grew larger and larger in the air.
One after another, magical beasts flew out of the Beast Suppression Tower, accompanied by roars.
Apart from Biqiong, who was refining the Fire Scale Crystal, Xuan Guang and Hei Yi also emerged from the space.
The guards were quite strong, but they were completely powerless against the thick-skinned and swarming horde of monsters, resulting in a brutal massacre.
Zi Ren stared wide-eyed in surprise, "Did we stumble upon a monster's lair?"
Fu Chishang gazed at the Beast-Suppressing Tower in the sky, which seemed to be the treasure of the now-extinct Beast Taming Sect.
I never expected it to end up in Xiaoxi's hands. This little girl really knows how to surprise me.
