Chapter 1057 Insurmountable Adversity and Retreat
Princess Mianzhu's expression suddenly changed drastically!
Her mentor, the Lord of Broken Eyebrow Mountain, was intercepted halfway, and her savior could not arrive, making the situation critical.

Originally, after Lord Broken Eyebrow Mountain swiftly dealt with National Preceptor Yu, there was no one else blocking his path, and he should have quickly arrived at the Ice Polar Lung Palace deep within the Earth's core, but...

A calamity demon descended from the sky and blocked her way. It wasn't just any calamity demon; it was a powerful being comparable to the Juejue Dingtian Sect.

Locusts, plagues, and droughts—all sorts of natural disasters befell the region.

The Calamity Demon grew stronger with each battle, being torn apart wave after wave by the sword light, yet it showed no signs of weakening.

It's terrible. Putuo Prefecture is completely beyond saving after this catastrophe.

"hehe!"

The 'Great Gentleman' noticed the change in Princess Mianzhu's expression and asked considerately, "What's wrong? Your reinforcements haven't arrived as expected?"

"you?"

The thought of the Demon Queen's methods sent a chill down her spine. If the Demon Queen could summon one Calamity Demon, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be a second, a third, or even more.

Without saying a word, she raised her foot and swung it forward, causing the gleaming blade of the Half-Saint Yin Blade to land and roll into a wheel half the height of a person.

As expected of the Heavenly Sect, even though he is not a professional swordsman, he still managed to unleash the true power of the Yin Blade.

Yin Dao's half-fist intent, along with Lord Shen's half-saint essence blood, was condensed into a single strike by her.

The disc-shaped blade flashed and pierced into the 'Great Gentleman's' arms in the blink of an eye, its speed as fast as a sudden divine punishment, leaving no time for anyone to react.

The destructive power of this strike is already at the highest level in the world, unmatched by anyone below the Martial Saint.

However, the opponent was the Empress, no ordinary person.

The 'Great Gentleman's' fingertips trembled, and two Reincarnation Blades flew up, their circular blades spinning and intertwining, shattering the light of the Yin Blade on the spot.

"careful!"

The Reincarnation Blade continued its momentum and landed right in front of Princess Mianzhu. Uncle Wang hurriedly pulled her aside.

terrible!

The Enchantress claimed to be a weak woman who was not good at martial arts. Every time she made a move, it was seemingly casual, but it carried a ruthless power that could kill an enemy with a single blow. Even the Heavenly Sect could not escape her.

Princess Mianzhu's face turned deathly pale. She raised her Half-Saint Yin Blade to block, and a small emerald green sword rose from beneath her feet.

In this icy and snowy landscape, a bamboo forest stretches as far as the eye can see, with countless bamboo leaves and branches swaying in the breeze.

Ding dong!

The Yin Blade was made of hard material. It was knocked out of his hand by the Reincarnation Blade, spun several times, and landed on the ground.

Zhou You also reacted quickly, leaping forward to pick up the Yin Dao.

He thought for a moment, and realized that even the Empress of the Bamboo Palace had not yet been able to unleash the potential of the Yin Blade, so it seemed that this semi-saint divine weapon had limitless potential.

The Reincarnation Blade had already plunged into the bamboo forest. With its killing intent unleashed, the bamboo leaves and branches transformed into sharp sword energy and light, engulfing it.

With a mere flick of his fingertips, the 'Great Gentleman' pierced through the bamboo forest with a single strike, instantly shattering it into a shower of green light.

Uncle Wang was really fighting desperately. He grabbed Princess Mianzhu, and the two of them together managed to avoid the cutting trajectory of the Reincarnation Blade's rotation.

Princess Mianzhu's sleeve was caught in the blast and torn to shreds, revealing a section of her jade-like arm.

"Quickly, let's go! We can't let this place stay!"

Uncle Wang loudly urged the Daughter of the Emperor, Mianzhu, to run away.

Princess Mianzhu hesitated for a moment, then heard him say, "Today's matter is beyond repair, quickly return to the capital."

"As you and I both know, this calamity is entirely due to the loss of territory by the feudal lord. He is the culprit and has lost his qualification as the ruler of the world. He will inevitably be impeached, dismissed, or even exiled." "The capital, the eight directly governed prefectures, and even the entire world will be plunged into turmoil."

No one could defeat the Enchantress; a forced attack would mean certain death, so many of the grandmasters present had already slipped away.

Even those who remained were all taking a wait-and-see approach, determined not to step forward unless the Queen of Enchantress turned on them.

With this mindset, how can one possibly defeat the terrifyingly powerful Enchantress?

Princess Mianzhu gritted her teeth, nodded to Zhou You, signaling him to retreat quickly, and then turned and left with Uncle Wang.

Strangely, the 'great gentleman' took a playful attitude, did not stop them, and watched them leave with a smile.

Zhou You felt the Yin Blade in his hand was somewhat heavy, and suddenly heard the 'Great Gentleman' ask, "Why aren't you running?"

Why are you asking this? I was just about to run away, but now that you've asked, I'm too embarrassed to slip away.

"Are you really the Queen of Enchantresses?"

When Zhou You questioned him, the 'gentleman' nodded and admitted, "Absolutely genuine!"

There was no turning back now. The stunning beauty before him, whose appearance combined the qualities of a virtuous gentleman and a refined lady, was none other than the ultimate boss of the Demon Clan, the Demon Queen.

Even a single Calamity Demon is enough to drive you around desperately, let alone a higher-level Enchantress Queen.

The mask panel did not issue any warnings, so it was clear that there was no immediate danger to his life. However, Zhou You was not so complacent as to think he could take advantage of the situation.

Although the Queen of Enchantress has just successfully formed her body and is in principle in a weakened state, this so-called weakness is only relative to her peak condition.

At her peak, the Enchantress was an unparalleled being that even the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saint could not defeat.

Even in his weakened state, he is not someone an ordinary Martial Saint can easily take advantage of, let alone someone who is merely a member of the Human Sect.

Didn't you see? Chaluozha, the leader of the Five Heavenly Kings, was shattered in a single move. Princess Mianzhu, wielding the Half-Saint Yin Blade, joined forces with another Heavenly Sect King Uncle, only to end up fleeing in a sorry state.

Even if Zhenbei Ge or Tiannan Shenjian came, they probably wouldn't fare well.

"Because I'm safe here!"

Zhou You looked towards the exit and said, "There are at least ten of the calamities you summoned outside. Putuo Prefecture is now a dead end."

"If I go out now, I'll have to face those calamities head-on. It's safer here!"

"Oh, you're so sure I won't kill you? I, the Enchantress, am a million times more terrifying than the Calamity Demon!"

The Queen smiled as she spoke to Zhou You, like an approachable older sister, but Zhou You had no doubt that her delicate hand would pierce through his flesh and blood in the next moment.

Such a monster cannot be judged by human nature or common sense; it is capable of any action.

"Although I am young and inexperienced, I have seen your methods in the North, manipulating people's hearts and gaining complete control."

"The Martial Saint of All Things, blinded by his childhood sweetheart obsession, released the Enchantress from his dream."

"The lord mourns his deceased wife to the point of madness, while the evil alchemist Qiwei seeks her but cannot obtain her. Their longing and regret for the late lady become the fertile ground for your conspiracy, ultimately leading to its success!"

"Therefore, your plan is intricately linked and progressively advanced. Moreover, I estimate that similar situations exist not only in Putuo Prefecture but also in many corners of the fifty prefectures of the world."

"Empress, if I were a villain like you, I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket. You must have other plans to ensure a comeback after this failure!"

At this point, Zhou You said seriously, "That time in the North, I witnessed Liu Jingguo's death with my own eyes. Wasn't that a foreshadowing you planted?"

"Since you consider me one of your backup plans, how could you bear to kill me?"

"So, I'll be fine!"
