Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

The jade pendant at his waist flickered continuously, and soon several powerful auras landed in front of Ye Wuxi and his companions.

The man and woman at the head of the group were none other than the two geniuses, Peng Hui and Yuan Xin. The four people behind them were also all at the fourth level of the Xuanwu realm.

Looking at the three people who remained motionless, as if waiting for something...

Yuan Xin glanced at them a few times, then sneered, "Liu Yu'er, you're quite the runaway, aren't you? What, you think you can escape just because you found a weakling companion?"

Liu Yu'er remained silent, actually unsure about what Ye Wuxi and Duan Hong had said.

Peng Hui, however, didn't want to waste words and lazily said, "You three, hand over everything in your storage rings, and I might spare your lives."

They were indeed just robbing, not killing. These people were already on guard against them; with the identification tokens in hand, it would be difficult for them to simply silence them.

However, the trial still has several days to go, so it's better to keep these people around. They can continue killing monsters while they rob, which is much easier.

Standing in front of Liu Yu'er, Ye Wuxi said with a smile, "Your method is quite good; I'm thinking of borrowing it."

Yuan Xin sneered, "I know you, Ye Wuxi. You don't think that just because you defeated someone at the fourth level of the Xuanwu realm, you can defeat us, do you..."

Ye Wuxi shrugged, "I think it's acceptable..."

Duan Hong also spoke calmly, "You lot, hand over everything in your storage rings!"

Hearing those familiar words, Peng Hui sneered, "You two are truly ignorant. You four, take them down..."

The four men behind them nodded. Although these two always made them lead the charge, it didn't hurt them either. They got a share of the loot after the robbery and avoided some danger, so they had nothing to complain about.

The four of them simultaneously drew their longswords, and several sword energies soared into the sky, their terrifying sword aura sweeping towards Ye Wuxi and his companions.

Duan Hong said calmly, "Wu Xi, leave those two to me, you deal with these four."

Having said that, he ignored the four who had attacked and went straight for Peng Hui and Yuan Xin. He believed that these four Xuanwu level four cultivators were definitely no match for Wu Xi.

Upon hearing Duan Hong's words, Ye Wuxi's eyes narrowed. Originally, she had planned to deal with the two herself, but since Duan Hong had already gone ahead, it didn't matter.

With the Cold Moon Sword appearing in his hand, Ye Wuxi immediately activated the power of his Water and Fire dantian, quickly unleashing several sword strikes at the four people.

Peng Hui and Yuan Xin sneered as they watched Duan Hong try to stop them. "You two are talented, but do you think you can take us on by yourself? You're being too naive."

With his longsword in hand, Duan Hong said calmly, "We'll know once we try."

Peng Hui and Yuan Xin didn't waste any words. Since these guys were courting death, they shouldn't blame them...

As the fight broke out, Liu Yu'er looked worried but didn't dare to rush forward.

However, her worries were clearly unnecessary, because after several sword energies collided in the void, the four Xuanwu level four cultivators were already lying on the ground, their fate unknown.

Liu Yu'er's eyes widened at the sight. What... what had she just witnessed? Several fourth-level cultivators had been easily wiped out by Xi'er, a mere second-level cultivator, as if chopping vegetables? My goodness!

Ye Wuxi turned around and said with a smile, "Yu'er, what are you standing there for? Take these rings, I'm going to help Brother Duan."

Meanwhile, in the battle on the other side, a hint of fear appeared in the eyes of both Peng Hui and Yuan Xin.

At this moment, a terrifying pressure emanated from Duan Hong, a pressure like that of a true emperor, making it difficult for them to breathe...

Duan Hongjun's handsome face turned noble and solemn. Using this oppressive aura, a terrifying sword aura suddenly slashed towards the two of them.

Neither of them dared to slacken their efforts, and they hurriedly tried to unleash their strongest sword strikes. However, under that oppressive aura, they felt their blood and qi churning, and their true energy was out of control...

Fear flashed in Yuan Xin's eyes. A jade talisman appeared in her hand without her noticing, and then she vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Peng Hui's face turned ashen, and he cursed under his breath, "Damn it!" This Yuan Xin had actually betrayed him and escaped using a teleportation talisman.

But it was too late for him to use it now, because Duan Hong's attack was already upon him.

But clearly, he wasn't lucky; his hasty attack was no match for the opponent's.

A bloody gash appeared on Peng Hui's neck. His eyes wide open, he collapsed to the ground, the fear and hatred in his eyes lingering.

Ye Wuxi, who was still thinking of helping, was also stunned when she saw this scene. She had also felt the pressure released by Duan Hong, and it was indeed very strong, but she didn't know what it was...

Duan Hong withdrew his aura and returned to Ye Wuxi's side. "That Yuan Xin actually has a teleportation talisman. I was careless..."

Ye Wuxi frowned and said, "These people from the great imperial families are indeed extraordinary."

Duan Hong calmly replied, "It's alright, we'll just be more careful next time. Besides, even if we rob them, it's all ours anyway."

Ye Wuxi chuckled, "Brother Duan is right." Duan Hong was indeed to her liking; she had made a truly good friend.

Liu Yu'er stepped forward, patted her chest to catch her breath, and said, "You two really scared me to death..."

She witnessed both battles; the first half filled her with worry, the second with shock. What kind of monsters were these two? She couldn't believe they were merely at the eighth rank of spiritual affinity.

However, everyone has secrets, and as a friend, she didn't want to pry.

Ye Wuxi narrowed her eyes, "Let's divide the loot first..."

Liu Yu'er placed the four people's belongings together and handed them to the two of them, saying, "You two can divide them up, I don't want any..."

Ye Wuxi smiled and said, "That won't do. Everyone who sees it should get a share. What do you think, Brother Duan?"

Duan Hong nodded repeatedly, "Wu Xi is right, Yu'er, please don't be so polite."

Ye Wuxi then took out the items from Peng Hui's storage ring and checked them together.

Compared to the other items, Ye Wuxi was more interested in the two teleportation talismans. "These are pretty good..."

Liu Yu'er explained, "This is a small teleportation talisman. The teleportation distance is limited to only a few dozen miles. I used one to escape back then. However, these things are extremely expensive, so I only got one from my family."

Duan Hong said nonchalantly, "Perfect, one for each of you, Wuxi and Yu'er."

Liu Yu'er quickly waved her hand and said seriously, "No, I can't take it. I know you two consider me a friend, so I won't be polite about taking the demon core. As for the rest, I don't want any of it. You can take it and divide it up."

Seeing her firm refusal, Ye Wuxi and Duan Hong exchanged a glance and could only helplessly agree.

After dividing the loot, Ye Wuxi said with a smile, "Let's continue robbing. Killing demonic beasts is too slow. This time, the three of us must be in the top three..."

Duan Hong readily agreed, "Let's go with Wu Xi..."

Actually, the demon cores are secondary; what interests them most are the interesting things these people bring. Forgive them for being country bumpkins...

Liu Yu'er asked timidly, "What if we encounter the other geniuses..."

Duan Hong stroked his chin and calmly said, "We'll rob it without hesitation!"
