The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

On the mountain where they first met, Xiao Tao had done more of the heavy lifting, and Mu Xiyue had only used ice needles to kill people, so the scene wasn't as shocking as it was now. He could tell that these assassins were all experts. If he were to fight over twenty of them alone, he might be able to kill them all, but he would definitely suffer some injuries, and there was no way he could kill them all in such a short time.

Xiao Yibai's pupils shrank slightly. Fortunately, Mu Xiyue wasn't an enemy; she was simply too strong. Without time to think, he rushed forward and killed everyone who was still alive. The two of them quickly caught up with the group.

Xiao Yibai was very sensible. Although he really wanted to know what kind of magical skill Mu Xiyue was practicing that was so powerful, he did not ask.

Qi Yun and the others were still looking for someone. A secret guard blew a whistle from time to time, and soon the same whistle was heard from deep in the forest.

A group of people headed towards the direction where the whistle came from and finally met the secret guard who was escorting the witness.

The witnesses were hidden in a hidden cave by the secret guards who escorted them. None of the witnesses were injured, but they had not eaten for two days and could not even walk.

Because they were chased all the way, half of the escorting secret guards had died, and the remaining dozen or so secret guards were also covered with wounds. The most seriously injured one even fainted from fever.

Xiao Yibai ordered people to distribute the steamed buns to everyone and asked the injured secret guards to apply medicine and bandage their wounds first.

Qi Yun took the pulse of the unconscious secret guard and said, "Master, Feng Wu may not make it back to the capital."

Mu Xiyue didn't expect that Qiyun also knew medical skills. The secret guard who fainted was indeed seriously injured.

Xiao Yibai's expression was solemn. "Rest for a quarter of an hour before setting off. Carry Feng Wu up and go to the town we just visited to see a doctor first."

He turned to look at Mu Xiyue and said, "I'm sorry, this may take some time. I can't abandon Feng Wu and leave him alone."

Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll be back later if I want."

As she spoke, she walked over and squatted beside Feng Wu, holding his hand and feeling it. Her wood healing ability had reached level eight, and she could feel the vitality of the injured person.

"Your Highness, he's almost dying. I'll give him some Qi so he can hold on until we get back to the capital."

Mu Xiyue wasn't a saint. She didn't have much sympathy for strangers. She only cared about her own people. She had agreed to come this time simply to make some money. However, Xiao Yibai's decision had touched her. Even though he knew that carrying a seriously injured patient who was about to die would be a huge burden, Xiao Yibai still chose not to give up.

This reminded her of her teammates who had fought together in her previous life. At that time, they also fought side by side and never gave up on each other, so she decided to save them.

She said she was transferring Qi, but in reality, she was using healing magic to treat Feng Wu. After about five minutes of treatment, Feng Wu slowly regained consciousness. She felt Feng Wu's vitality again and found that it had become much stronger. She could only treat Feng Wu until he was no longer in danger. If she cured Feng Wu, her healing ability would be exposed.

Mu Xiyue hooked her finger at Qiyun and said, "Take his pulse again, but his life is still in danger."

Qi Yun stepped forward to feel Feng Wu's pulse again, his face full of surprise. "How did you do it? He's gotten so much better. Master, Feng Wu's condition is good enough to return to Beijing for further treatment."

Xiao Yibai nodded. He didn't expect Mu Xiyue had this ability. If it was an internal injury, injecting some internal energy could relieve it a lot, but Feng Wu's external injuries were obviously too serious. He lost too much blood and the wound worsened. In this case, no matter how much internal energy was injected, it would be of no help.

Some things are not suitable to be said now. Xiao Yibai put away his doubts and just said thank you to Mu Xiyue.

Mu Xiyue was very satisfied with Xiao Yibai's understanding and did not pursue the matter further.

Qi Yun asked the secret guard to bring a steamed bun to Feng Wu so that Feng Wu could eat something to have some strength.

After a quarter of an hour's rest, Feng Wu was already able to walk on his own. If they didn't set off now, they would miss the city before dark. However, the witnesses and the dozen or so secret guards who were escorting them had run out of carriages and horses. They gave the horses to the injured, and the rest of them walked out of the forest together.

When we walked out of the forest and approached the town, a group of people in black appeared in front of us. There were at least twenty of them.

When the men in black saw Xiao Yibai and his group, they rushed forward and started fighting. They had a clear division of labor. Some of them fought with Xiao Yibai's secret guards, while some directly attacked the witnesses.

The secret guards and the men in black attacked so quickly that Mu Xiyue didn't even have time to make a move. If she used her wind power to attack the group, it would hurt her own people. She could only protect the dozen or so witnesses first.

"Xiao Tao, protect them and don't let anyone get close to them."

Mu Xiyue found an opportunity to shoot the man in black with an ice needle. The killer Xiaotao, who wanted to get close to the witness, killed him with a wind blade.

Although the battle ended quickly thanks to Mu Xiyue and Xiao Tao's actions, this style of fighting was still too time-consuming. If a wave of assassins came from time to time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to return to Shangjing City before dark today.

The wounds of several already injured secret guards were broken open, and Xiao Yibai asked them to bandage them first before continuing on their journey.

Mu Xiyue went to the killer's body and took two swords, throwing one to Xiaotao, "Try to feel it and see if you can get used to it."

She swung the sword a few times herself, and it felt quite good. She had never used this kind of sword in her previous life, but she had used a machete. Imbuing the sword with wind energy made the wind blade even more lethal.

Xiao Tao also made a few moves with the sword. She used to use branches as swords. Of course, a sword is much heavier than a branch. When she was holding a sword, she couldn't take care of her supernatural powers.

"This sword is too heavy. I feel like I can't use my strength while holding it."

Mu Xiyue chuckled when she saw her pouting. Xiaotao was dressed as a man now, and it was really incongruous with her pouting expression.

"Then forget about the sword. I'll see if I can get you a lighter one later."

The secret guards were quick, finishing the job in about five minutes. By the time they reached the small town, it was already late in the afternoon. If they continued walking this way, they wouldn't reach Shangjing before dark.

Xiao Yibai asked the secret guards to go to the town and look for carriages. As long as the price was right, they could always buy one. The secret guards lived up to expectations and bought four carriages in just two quarters of an hour. However, all four were the kind used to transport goods. Their disadvantage was that they had no roofs or seats, but their advantage was that they could squeeze seven or eight people into one carriage.

Although the conditions were a bit harsh, it was still easier than walking. Ten horses surrounded the four carriages, and the speed of travel was finally much faster.

This place is only twenty miles away from Shangjing, which is considered to be the footsteps of the emperor. Normally, the killer would not be so rampant, but the witnesses this time are too important. The people involved include princes and ministers. Naturally, those people would not want anyone to enter Shangjing City alive.

The team had only traveled five or six miles when another wave of killers appeared. There was no cover on both sides of the official road here, and from afar they could tell that they were killers when they saw a large group of people blocking the road. This wave of killers also had more people.

Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue were riding in the front. Mu Xiyue asked Xiao Yibai to stop and said, "Tell your men to wait here. You and Qiyun will take us over."

Xiao Yibai had seen Mu Xiyue's martial arts skills, where she could kill a large group of people with just a wave of her hand. He stopped the team, and rushed forward with Qiyun, Mu Xiyue, and Xiaotao.
