At the same time, he also had two broadswords hanging from his waist and back, and two daggers at his waist. His wide sleeves looked heavy, which obviously also concealed some secrets.

Xi Heng noticed the bloodstains on this person's body, suggesting that he had also killed many in the battle.

The two sides clashed with intense killing intent, but Xi Heng managed to suppress it slightly.

The girl squinted as she watched the enemy approach, and then she took a step forward.

At the same time, countless ordinary soldiers made way for the two of them.

Thus, a strangely large empty space appeared in the center of this battlefield.

Xi Heng glanced around casually as he walked, but did not see any soldiers from the Great Zhao.

Because of her unconscious slaughter, she had already penetrated deep into Yan Meng's army territory.

But she did not back down because of this, she just muttered to herself:

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've killed a cultivator at the Transformation Realm..."

It seems that since the battle in Jinshi City, she has not encountered any enemies at the Transformation Realm.

I just happened to be in good form today, so it would be nice to play a powerful opponent as the main course.

Upon seeing Xi Heng's contemptuous attitude, the enemy general on the distant border spoke coldly:

"You killed Lu Wengnu, one of the seven vanguard generals of my army?"

Compared to the ordinary soldiers who had been hacked to pieces, the other side seemed more concerned about his general.

"The leader of the vanguard generals?" Xi Heng took two seconds to recall, remembering that someone had just shouted this title at her.

It was probably the guy who wielded the long-handled broadsword and managed to strike her with a blow before he died.

"So your Yan Meng's vanguard general is this weak? I had just regained my touch when that guy was already dead."

"Good, good," the enemy's eyes grew even sharper, and he quickly raised his long sword, aiming it straight at Xi Heng.

With just this one movement of raising the sword, the wind from the sword suddenly came whistling.

The girl casually raised her sword and used the same force to deflect the attack. The two long winds collided, creating a loud bang and a buzzing sound, like the sound of war drums.

"I am Yan Meng, Prince Yan Yinmu of Jianling County. State your name!"

"I am Zhao Xiheng, the princess of the Great Zhao Dynasty," Xiheng replied casually.

"Princess?" The other person frowned deeply: "Who is Zhao Qianqiu to you?"

"Why do I hear Zhao Qianqiu's name everywhere... She's my aunt." Xi Heng answered, still puzzled.

However, the other party did not intend to reply further, but continued:

"Very well, today I will avenge my brother for that missing arm!"

He sheathed and dropped the Miao sword, the blade flashing white light.

The white light transformed into a wide, crescent-shaped sword aura, tearing through the air at bullet-like speed as it hurtled towards her.

Xi Heng also unleashed a red sword aura that shattered the pale arc, and subconsciously asked:

"Do you also have sword energy? Or saber energy... it doesn't matter."

She felt that it was normal for a martial artist at the Transformation Realm to be able to do such a thing, and there was no need to waste words during the battle.

After the enemy unleashed this sword energy, a shadow flashed, and the enemy general, who was originally dozens of meters away, suddenly appeared in front of him.

Clang——

Xi Heng was already prepared and deflected the attack with his sword.

She had fought against martial artists of the Transformation Realm a hundred times, and had also practiced swordplay with herself in her mind for a long time. When facing martial artists of the same level, she had a slight advantage in combat experience.

Even when facing an enemy with martial arts she had never seen before, she was able to adapt to the situation with remarkable flexibility and confidence.

As soon as the enemy's Miao sword was deflected, Xi Heng prepared to thrust again.

However, the enemy did not shake out her energy to stabilize himself before attacking as she had expected. Instead, he reached out his hand with great fluidity and skill and threw out a handful of black beads the size of a fingertip.

Xi Heng didn't know what this thing was, so he simply used his internal energy to deflect it away.

In the blink of an eye, the black bead, obstructed, exploded into a thick fog that obscured her vision, causing her to instinctively step back.

The next instant, the blade, hidden in the thick fog, appeared without a trace.

Xi Heng instinctively raised his sword to parry, and then heard the whooshing sound of three flying needles.

She frowned slightly and then used her internal energy to deflect the flying needle.

As the thick fog dissipated, a cold glint appeared before our eyes once more—

The sharp, straight Miao sword thrust forward, and Xi Heng only managed to react by activating his still mind and twisting his body to dodge.

"Can't we be a little more open and aboveboard?" she clicked her tongue.

The opponent's movements and swordsmanship were both extremely fast.

However, speed is not a problem. After Xi Heng activated the Mind as Still as Water, his reaction speed was even better, and his movements were also more agile.

What bothered her was that her opponent would incorporate all sorts of low-level hidden weapon attacks into their offensive moves.

She didn't know the purpose of these hidden weapons, so she didn't try to block them head-on, but instead deflected them with her own force.

As a result, the body's energy is consumed very quickly.

"The duty of soldiers is solely to defeat the enemy! Prepare to die—"

Ignoring Xi Heng's wishes, the other party turned and slashed at him from a strange and tricky angle.

In the calm, slowed-down view, the trajectory of the Miao sword and the variations that would be made along the way were extremely conspicuous.

A cold light flashed from the tip of the sword, and white sword energy surged forth.

Xi Heng lowered his twin swords to defend, unleashing his blood energy to shatter the enemy's sword energy.

However, just as the sword energy of both sides was clashing, another dart, its surface etched with a dark green patina, slashed towards the leg from a blind spot, obscured by the white light of the sword energy—

Generally, the defensive techniques for protecting the body focus on the chest and abdomen, with less coverage on the limbs.

If a martial artist at the Transformation Realm is blinded by the sword energy and fails to react to the incoming hidden weapon, the flying blade could indeed leave abrasions on their body.

However, Xi Heng had already opened his sword heart, so no matter how well the enemy's hidden weapons were concealed, they could evade the senses of the five senses but could not evade the perception of the sword heart.

The twin swords continued to press down, and the ripples of red light sliced ​​the incoming projectile in two, while it fell to the enemy's body, causing a shockwave of energy.

Xi Heng seized the moment, crossed his two swords, and unleashed another cross-shaped sword aura.

The enemy general tried his best to dodge, but the sword energy grazed a corner of his leather coat, tearing it open. However, the flesh inside was still protected by the neutralizing force.

"Their attacks are all dirty tricks, but they run pretty fast," Xi Heng mocked.

"Is this the only insidious trick your Yanmeng Kingdom knows?"

Although the other party's expression remained unchanged, they were clearly provoked by the words.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yinmu changed direction and slashed diagonally with both hands on his long sword.

Xi Heng blocked the attack, but another sword shadow arrived.

After blocking again, the Miao sword suddenly transformed into two sword shadows on the left and right.

Kenshin determined that both sword shadows were real objects. When he parried, Xi Heng carefully observed that this sword shadow clone technique was due to the strange mechanism of the Miao sword, which could be broken into two.

The opponent's attacks were relentless and fierce, and he spun around to deliver another horizontal slash.

After being deflected, Xi Heng launched a counterattack and advanced forward.

However, Yan Yinmu seemed to have anticipated this, so he retreated, raised his hands high above his head and clasped them together. With a click, the two swords that had been separated became one again, and he paused, ready to strike.

Xi Heng spotted a momentary opening and thrust his sword straight into the enemy's heart.

Just as it was about to strike, a shout rang out from above, and the fully charged blade crashed down.

In an instant, both sides were in danger and simultaneously activated their internal energy to resist.

As the sword tip pierced the enemy's heart, the blade also struck Xi Heng's shoulder armor.

With a clang, the sword tip only pierced the outer leather armor, failing to reach the inside.

Clearly, the other party had a strong protective barrier around their chest, guarding their vital points.

A tremendous force also pressed down on Xi Heng's shoulder.

While neutralizing force can suppress sharpness, it is difficult to completely negate the power.

Xi Heng bent down to dissipate the force, then stepped forward and struck the enemy's abdomen with his left sword.

The enemy's protective force was so difficult to pierce, it was like a wooden stick poking at a mud pit, unable to touch the flesh inside.

The enemy general merely grunted, released his left hand, pulled a dagger from his waist, and charged forward again.

"Can he still move?" Xi Heng frowned slightly.

She activated a bit of her sword spirit; although the injury appeared minor, it should have been enough to make him dizzy.

Could it be that the other party has also comprehended some kind of sword or saber intent, which has enhanced their spirit?

Or perhaps it's because she didn't use her whole heart, resulting in less damage?

Seeing the dagger coming at her, the girl stepped back to create distance between herself and the enemy.

The opponent, however, lost his footing and suddenly swung forward, sending himself sprawling face-first into the mud. The dagger fell to the ground, and at the same time, the black beads hidden in his sleeve scattered all over the ground.

Yan Yinmu shook his head on the ground, his originally sharp gaze subtly changing, his face trembling as if he was in unbearable pain.

After a moment of regaining his composure, he stood up menacingly and said:

"The realm of celestial beings? You actually achieved the realm of celestial beings?"

"I haven't even used my full strength yet," Xi Heng said, twirling his sword with both hands.

The next instant, he stomped forward with his toes, shaking the ground.

The moment his foot left the ground, the black beads that had fallen from the other person's sleeve exploded one after another.

A thick, gray-black fog instantly covered the field of vision, and the sounds drowned out hearing.

He tried to strike at the enemy general's location again, but his sword missed its mark.

"It's gone..."

Driven by the sword's intent, a strange sensation arises in the mind.

Even with impaired vision and hearing, her sword intent still helps her locate the enemy.

Xi Heng closed his eyes, raised his sword backward, and first blocked a thin crossbow bolt.

However, less than half a second later, a long-handled broadsword, unlike the slender Miao sword, came crashing down with tremendous force.

Xi Heng dodged to the side, reversed his grip on the sword, and pushed away the thick fog in front of him.

But the black beads underfoot continued to explode like firecrackers, and the gray mist was only pushed away for a moment before being quickly filled in again.

As Kenshin stepped back from the gray fog-shrouded area, he felt an apple-sized projectile hurtling towards him.

Xi Heng raised his sword and deflected it. The thing shattered upon hitting the sword and suddenly turned into a ball of raging fire.

"Gerose?"

The girl dodged immediately, but before she knew it, the enemy had circled around behind her and continued to swing his long-handled axe.

He barely managed to block the attack, and as he retreated, a few drops of the splattered oil clung to his body.

Just as the flames were extinguished, the words "Release the arrows!" were shouted from the front.

Immediately, a rain of arrows mixed with crossbow bolts came from all directions.

The relentless attacks caused Xi Heng's mind to become somewhat confused, and for a moment he couldn't tell which direction the enemy was from.

Kenshin could sense the location of the arrow, but countless archers and crossbowmen around her were targeting her alone.

There were no blind spots or places to dodge the rain of arrows, and even with two swords alone, it was difficult to defend completely.

Inevitably, a few arrows would strike him from behind or the side, only to be deflected by his own force or bounce off his scales.

Even though he remained unharmed, his internal energy was being depleted at an accelerated rate.

"This is really troublesome," Xi Heng sighed softly.

The martial arts master who was fighting her was completely inferior to her in terms of pure martial arts skills. If it were a one-on-one fight according to the rules of the martial arts world, she would definitely win overwhelmingly.
