Over the years, no one has been able to infiltrate the Princess Mansion, at least not without Alfalfa's knowledge. Although she has many hidden enemies, none dare to act against her because she is surrounded by too many skilled individuals, and not just because she is a princess of the empire.
More importantly, she is a woman of great strategy! When it comes to scheming, men have always been inferior to women, and she happens to be the queen among women. Therefore, she believes that nothing can escape her notice!
However, after the incident involving Xie Tianyu disguised as a eunuch, she realized that her invisible enemies had been making more frequent moves lately. Although she still couldn't figure out which faction the fake eunuch belonged to, she was determined to uncover the truth! If she couldn't even identify her enemies, then she would have died countless times already!
If Xie Tianyu wouldn't speak, someone would make him! Throughout history, there have been many ways to get someone to talk, but ultimately, the most effective and direct method is violence!
When you beat someone down and force them into submission, they will not only bleed but also reveal more information. Although there are still many who fear nothing in this world, the concepts of fearing death and fearing pain are entirely different!
Alfalfa looked at Guileful Shadow without saying a word; a shared glance was enough for this slender man to understand what he needed to do!
He stepped forward, and suddenly the wind picked up! It was the chilling wind that made Xie Tianyu feel cold all over again, and he could clearly sense an even more piercing killing intent!
Nevertheless, Xie Tianyu remained unafraid. In the midst of his extreme chill, he ignited his fighting spirit; his clenched fists bulged with veins! His entire body began to crackle with sounds! That was the sound of bones cracking and a sign that a martial artist was pushing their True Energy to its limit!
Having never truly fought for his life before, Xie Tianyu finally took it seriously! He looked at Willow-Man and said in a deep voice, “You better be able to kill me with one punch; otherwise, I have countless opportunities to make you regret it!”
His words were powerful and difficult to decipher. Where did he get the confidence to say such things? After all, one step from his opponent had already diminished all his bravado—could he really unleash a miracle?
Alfalfa also became interested. She instinctively stepped back a dozen paces to create a relatively safe distance before speaking: “I’ll give you one last chance. If you don’t speak now, I can guarantee that by the time you want to talk, your teeth might be gone. Speaking then will surely be much more painful!”
As soon as her words fell, Xie Tianyu's face turned green. This woman was truly vicious; even before battle, she didn't forget to mock him like this!
However, having made up his mind, he would not speak no matter what!
"You better pray that this guy can really punch out all my teeth, otherwise, I guarantee I will have countless opportunities to make you regret it!"
The repeated words made it clear that he seemed to be serious!
Alfalfa furrowed her brows; no matter how one looked at it, this guy could not possibly be a match for Guileful Shadow. Even if Guileful Shadow didn't go all out, the opponent would surely be defeated within five rounds! So, what was his proud advantage?
Or was he just trying to scare people?
Unable to figure this out, Alfalfa didn't bother thinking any further. She never wasted mental energy on such unnecessary thoughts. Instead, she preferred to take action, as it yielded quicker results!
"Guileful Shadow, use only thirty percent of your strength. Don't really shatter his teeth; although he can still talk like that, it would be unpleasant for me to watch. You understand, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Tianyu couldn't help but shudder, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He really wanted to slap that woman across the face!
However, Guileful Shadow in front of that woman wouldn't allow him to do so!
In a moment of embarrassment, he suddenly had a brilliant idea and said, "Actually, if you follow my master, it might be more promising than following this dead witch. What do you think? If you come with me, I guarantee your treatment won't be worse than in Princess Mansion!"
This sounded like a joke, but there was indeed some truth to it. He thought to himself that being under the second prince of Qin Empire wasn't exactly shameful.
However, this remark was destined to become a laughingstock!
Guileful Shadow clearly regarded him as joking and took another step forward! This time, the wind was even more biting; the howling wind almost turned into a roar!
Xie Tianyu's eyes suddenly filled with fighting spirit! This time, he could sense the opponent's even more overwhelming killing intent and battle awareness!
The howling wind this week almost stung his face! For a Martial Saint to feel pain from the wind, it must be no ordinary wind!
Of course not! The effect caused by pure True Energy was sharp as a knife! It could kill without a trace! If it weren't for Xie Tianyu also being at the Martial Saint level, anyone below the Gangwu Realm would not only struggle to move in such a wind but might even be crippled on the spot!
"A peerless master... Damn it, I should have guessed that this woman must have her own loyal assassins nearby! Even that Chifeng can't compare to this kind of killing intent!" Xie Tianyu thought, somewhat disgruntled.
But his opponent did not give him another chance to act foolishly! Guileful Shadow moved again!
This time, it was not just a simple step! His feet shifted, and with a movement, he vanished from sight! It was as if he had disappeared into thin air, as if he had never existed!
Yet Xie Tianyu's pupils widened at that moment! He felt a chill coming from behind him! Almost instantly, he turned around while unleashing both palms in another strike: "Five Elements Thunder Fist!"
In an instant, a powerful explosion swept through the area! Just as Xie Tianyu sensed, Guileful Shadow appeared right behind him the next second! However, his Thunder Fist did not hit its target!
As a peak late-stage Martial Saint, Guileful Shadow effortlessly twisted his body in half a second, narrowly avoiding the attack as countless bolts of Thunder Light whizzed past!
Under the blazing white light, Xie Tianyu seemed to catch a glimpse of the sinister smirk beneath his opponent's mask! Those cold eyes radiated a deathly glow!
A hand suddenly struck out! Aimed directly at his neck!
With no time to think, in that life-and-death moment, Xie Tianyu erupted with power beyond the peak of early-stage Martial Saint. He unleashed all his True Energy, forming an incredibly fearsome repulsive force! He aimed to forcefully push back his opponent!
After just one exchange, Xie Tianyu had already exerted all his strength. Although he still had many Martial Techniques left unutilized, in the face of absolute power suppression, his opponent would not give him any extra chances to unleash them; generally speaking, you only get one shot!
Miss this chance, and it could very well mean the end of the battle!
Those hands, under the powerful aura of Xie Tianyu, indeed froze for a moment! But in that moment, before he could change his stance, Guileful Shadow's hand had already firmly grasped his neck without any hesitation!
With just that one grip! The explosive sound from the combination of the aura and Thunder Light abruptly ceased, leaving a silent whirlwind; the entire venue fell into silence! Xie Tianyu was like a deflated balloon, unable to exert any strength, simply lifted up!
Yes, lifted into the air! His face instantly flushed, revealing that this was not merely a simple restraining action; Guileful Shadow must have employed other means that left Xie Tianyu helpless, unable to even channel True Energy! He was like a duck waiting to be slaughtered...
In one round... just one round, Guileful Shadow had merely grazed a few hairs and perfectly defeated the fully unleashed Xie Tianyu!
This scene was incredibly shocking, evoking genuine tremors and fear within people!
Once the dust settled in the garden, petals from the battle that had withered in just one round fluttered everywhere, resembling a beautiful rain of petals. Alfalfa Princess elegantly turned amidst this shower of petals, her lips curling into a smile reminiscent of an innocent girl!
She seemed completely unconcerned about the outcome of the battle or the environment in which such a fight took place! Was she heartless?
No, she had long anticipated this result; she knew that even in battle, Guileful Shadow would not harm her. Otherwise, he would have let her leave... Yet he remained silent throughout; this was certainty, this was confidence!
"Indeed, so it is..." Without uttering any words of shock or disbelief, Xie Tianyu, who was being choked, could only laboriously spit out these few words. The expression on his face barely registered; it had almost stiffened together. His once graceful features twisted in an instant as if his disguised facade was about to collapse!
Guileful Shadow remained indifferent as he held him up, as if he were merely lifting a toy. Without his master's command, he would not let go!
And what about his master?
Alfalfa gently bent down to pick up a petal and sniffed it before expressing her mild annoyance: "I didn't provoke you or anything; how did it come to this? Guileful Shadow, next time you strike, be more direct. Don't hurt my words; you should know that sometimes the flowers in this garden are worth more than many people!"
If one listened closely to her voice, it still carried a girlish charm. However, combined with her stunningly beautiful face, the deliberately displayed childishness transformed into an enchanting allure—completely contrasting with her captivating eyes!
She was so naive, so innocent... and yet, it stood in stark contrast to her inner self!
In such an evocative environment, the master who seemed to blame the ignorant servant appeared so out of place, yet they complemented each other so well!
However, these words, when they reached Xie Tianyu's ears, felt so cruel. It turned out that in the eyes of this princess, a human life was worth even less than a flower?
What kind of woman could she be? A scorpion? A venomous snake?
But why was she so beautiful? Indeed, were the most beautiful women also the most terrifying?
These were the last few thoughts that Xie Tianyu could remember before losing consciousness. His head gradually filled with blood, and he felt dizzy. Guileful Shadow had him by the throat, and it was far from as easy as it appeared!
He was almost out of breath, struggling to draw a single breath. The sensation of suffocation felt so close to death! Xie Tianyu was still somewhat unwilling; he still had his trump card left to unleash, yet he never expected his opponent to act so quickly and fiercely...
Even if he had released his ultimate move, it would have been impossible to defeat the man before him. But at least he shouldn't have lost this quickly and embarrassingly...
This was his final thought. Just before truly fainting, Xie Tianyu seemed to sense a fleeting breath... that breath was like a glimpse of a startled swan; he recognized it instinctively and then peacefully fell unconscious!
