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

After thinking for a moment, Ye Wuxi gestured to Liu Yu'er and Duan Hong before smiling at the four people blocking his way, "Alright, but it's agreed that after handing it over to you, you have to let us leave. Otherwise, we'll destroy the storage ring even if it kills us, and no one will get away with it..."

The Four Demons exchanged glances, then the eldest laughed wildly, "No problem!"

Once we successfully obtain the storage ring, it won't be too late to quickly kill these guys. They're really a bunch of fools, still thinking of leaving! They're dreaming.

Ye Wuxi smiled gently, "Then just send two people over to get it. The rest of you stay far away, otherwise we won't feel at ease..."

"Third and fourth brothers, get out of here. Let me tell you, don't try anything funny, or else..." The eldest of the Four Heroes waved his hand. Anyway, it was just him and the second brother; dealing with these three would only take two strikes...

The third and fourth brothers retreated to a distance, and only after Ye Wuxi could no longer see the two did they shake the ring on their hand and smile, "Brothers, come and take it!"

The two leaders of the Heavenly Demons carefully examined the three of them. Seeing that there was nothing suspicious about them, they flew forward.

Just as the eldest and second eldest brothers stepped onto the griffin's back, Ye Wuxi smiled and suddenly raised two five-colored balls in his left and right palms, slamming them down on the two men's abdomens...

Two bursts of violent Five Elements True Essence rushed straight into the dantian of the two men.

"Ah! You..." Caught off guard, the two let out a scream and died instantly, falling straight down.

"Go down!" Ye Wuxi commanded the griffin to rush down again. What kind of so-called Four Heroes were they? They probably had a lot of good stuff on them, and she wouldn't let them go.

In just a moment, he killed two people at the first level of the Earth Martial Realm, leaving Liu Yu'er stunned...

The griffin stopped, and the three of them had just jumped to the ground when the third and fourth brothers, who were some distance away, heard the commotion and flew over at high speed.

"Big brother, second brother!" The two cried out in anguish as they looked at the corpse on the ground.

Ye Wuxi's eyes narrowed; the speed was indeed fast. "Duan Hong! Yu'er!"

Upon hearing the voice, Duan Hong didn't waste any words. He immediately unleashed an aura that pressed down on the two of them.

The Four Heavenly Demons usually only robbed rogue cultivators; they had never seen such an aura before. Under the suppression of that heavenly will, they were instantly frozen in place.

"What's going on?!"

The low-grade Earth-rank Shadow Reflection Sword appeared in Ye Wuxi's hand. His eyes remained calm, and taking advantage of the moment of hesitation between the two, he fully activated his five dantian, unleashing a sword strike.

"The phoenix cries hidden in the clouds!"

Stepping on the Flowing Clouds and Chasing the Moon, Ye Wuxi moved as fast as lightning and arrived directly in front of the third brother, his magnificent sword light shooting down from the sky.

A red mark appeared on the third brother's neck, his wide eyes filled with disbelief. He hadn't even had a chance to make a move, how could this be? But he received no response and just fell straight down.

Suddenly, a sound of burning blood emanated from Duan Hong's body, and he suddenly rose up, striking down with a palm towards the fourth brother.

"The Seal of the Azure Heaven!"

"Azure Waves and Tsunami!" Liu Yu'er's body surged with blue true energy, and with a magnificent sword strike, following closely behind Duan Hong's attack, she slashed down towards the fourth brother.

However, the two were a beat slower than Ye Wuxi. The fourth brother finally reacted and quickly erected a true energy shield. Although he still suffered some damage in the rush, his life was not in danger.

"They're still alive!" Duan Hong, pale-faced, landed on the ground, realizing the danger and quickly retreating with Liu Yu'er...

The fourth brother pulled out a pill, popped it into his mouth, and stood suspended in mid-air, shouting fiercely, "I'll kill you all!"

"Run away!"

Having failed to kill the fourth brother with a single blow, Liu Yu'er cried out in alarm, "This is a disaster..."

"You go first!"

Ye Wuxi gave a soft shout, then gritted her teeth and quickly took out a few Rejuvenation Pills and threw them into her mouth. Fortunately, her cultivation had broken through a couple of days ago, so she wouldn't exhaust all her true energy when using that Earth-rank sword technique.

Liu Yu'er stamped her foot, abandoning her plan to send a teleportation talisman...

"None of you will escape!" Seeing the group's actions, the fourth Heavenly Demon shouted coldly, unleashing a torrent of powerful true energy from his palms as he struck the three of them.

Duan Hong stood in front of Liu Yu'er, and a high-grade Xuan-level spirit sword appeared in his hand, into which he poured his pale red true energy.

"The Wrath of the Fire God!"

The crimson sword energy slashed towards the two palm prints, but the true essence power of the Earth Martial Realm was not so easily neutralized.

With a "boom," Duan Hong and Liu Yu'er were sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood...

Ye Wuxi quickly swung her sword to block the palm strike and retreated rapidly. Seeing the scene on Duan Hong's side, she gritted her teeth and said, "Fourth brother, I'm not playing with you anymore, goodbye!"

After saying that, he stomped his foot, moving so fast that it seemed he was really trying to escape for his life.

The fourth Heavenly Demon snorted coldly, "Do you think you can escape?" He glanced at the two people on the ground, then delivered another palm strike before quickly chasing after Ye Wuxi. He had witnessed his third brother's death, and he was determined to avenge them.

In the eyes of the Fourth Heavenly Demon, those two were no match for his palm strike, so he felt at ease to pursue Ye Wuxi.

However, Duan Hong and Liu Yu'er were unharmed. After sensing the threatening palm strike, the jade pendant around Duan Hong's neck suddenly emitted a brilliant light, and a crimson ray directly dispersed the true essence palm print.

Liu Yu'er patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you so much, I almost lost my life, luckily you still have this talisman to protect me!"

Duan Hong was, after all, a prince of a country, and he was quite talented. It's not surprising that he had a life-saving item given to him by his elders!

Duan Hong's eyes darkened. He popped two pills into his mouth, stood up, and said, "You go first. Take these things with you. I'm going to find Wuxi!"

Wu Xi helped them lure away the fourth Heavenly Demon, but I wonder how he is doing. His trump card for killing the eldest and second eldest is obviously useless now; I hope nothing bad happens to him…

Liu Yu'er nodded, "Okay!" Knowing that her strength was low, she would not cause any trouble.

Ye Wuxi disappeared into the forest. Being able to rise into the air at the Earth Martial Realm level would be too conspicuous outside, so entering this dense forest was the best choice for her.

The Chaos Five Elements Technique was running wildly, and all kinds of spiritual energy from heaven and earth kept surging in. With the addition of several Rejuvenation Pills, Ye Wuxi's five dantians were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. Once they were recovered, she could try to fight that fourth brother.

The fourth Heavenly Demon stood atop the mountain forest, constantly sensing the aura. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he plunged straight down. The spiritual energy fluctuations there were intense; it must be Ye Wuxi!

Although he didn't know what kind of sorcery she used to kill his eldest and second brothers, since she had chosen to flee, it meant that she could no longer use that sorcery, so he had nothing to worry about!

……

As an aside (not counting words): Why could two bursts of Five Elements True Essence destroy two Earth Martial Realm Level 1 cultivators, but not kill the Vermilion Bird, which hadn't truly reached the Earth Martial Realm yet? The Vermilion Bird is a sacred beast, possessing innate divine abilities. Its physical body is not easily destroyed. Although it doesn't have the ability to undergo Nirvana, regenerating its broken wings is no problem. At that time, even with their full strength, the two could only incapacitate the Vermilion Bird. Moreover, at that time, Wuxi's cultivation was low, his swordsmanship was not yet proficient, and he was using a low-grade Xuan-rank sword. Killing the Vermilion Bird was impossible...

As for Duan Hong's trump card, it's actually limited to those below the Earth Martial Realm, and its power is definitely not comparable to the Five Elements True Essence...
