As the words left her lips, a powerful surge of spiritual energy rose from Hao Juan.
Wu Xixue raised an eyebrow, "Jin, so you are indeed Jin."
Her current cultivation level was merely at the Foundation Establishment stage; how could she possibly contend with this formidable Jin?
Chen Anlin felt a sinking sensation in his heart. He understood that in the realm of cultivation, even a small difference in levels could create a vast chasm. A difference of an entire realm was an even greater divide.
"Xiao Anzi, make sure to run with all your might later."
Wu Xixue's gaze shifted upward.
Chen Anlin nodded; he knew that if it came to a direct confrontation, they were no match and could only flee.
"You go first."
As soon as Wu Xixue finished speaking, she launched an attack at Hao Juan while simultaneously swallowing two blood-red pills.
Chen Anlin recognized this type of pill from his previous experience; it was a Blood Fortification Pill.
"Your Majesty, you—"
Chen Anlin realized that the Empress did not intend to escape; she was preparing for a fight. At this moment, he naturally would not run away either.
With the Empress launching her attack, Chen Anlin summoned forth a yellow flash of light.
"Hahaha, two overconfident fools."
Hao Juan laughed instead of getting angry, her robust magical power surging forth. At the same time, her spiritual sense expanded, easily observing every move made by Chen Anlin and Wu Xixue.
She was a Jin cultivator and possessed the ability of spiritual sense; she simply could not comprehend why these two would dare to provoke her.
If she were in their position, she would have begged for mercy at the first opportunity. Facing a Jin cultivator as a Foundation Establishment practitioner was tantamount to certain death.
With this thought in mind, Hao Juan chuckled.
She effortlessly blocked Wu Xixue's attack and turned her gaze toward Chen Anlin's sword. With a casual flick of her hand, the yellow flash shattered instantly.
"Hmph, even your talisman is worthless; do you think you can deal with me?" Hao Juan said coldly.
Feeling the absence of the yellow flash, Chen Anlin couldn't help but shiver.
She couldn't hold her off for even a moment; how was this girl playing?
"Xiao Anzi, are you not leaving yet?" Wu Xixue urged anxiously.
"Your Majesty, I have some strength as well; I can join in," Chen Anlin shook his head and decisively activated the Carefree Divine Technique, his figure suddenly becoming elusive.
"Haha, you really don't know your own limits. Under my divine sense, I can see all your movements clearly," Hao Juan sneered as she struck out with her palm towards a specific spot.
The range of this attack was surprisingly vast. Chen Anlin felt an overwhelming shock in his heart; he wanted to dodge, but his body seemed to be out of control.
Bang!
Chen Anlin was sent flying with a heavy blow.
At that moment, Wu Xixue's aura suddenly surged. After consuming two Blood Pills, her power reached an extremely terrifying level. However, compared to Hao Juan, there was still a significant gap.
"It doesn't matter how many forbidden drugs you take; it won't help," Hao Juan scoffed.
Wu Xixue's eyes gradually turned red as she charged at Hao Juan.
She unleashed all her magical energy and attacked Hao Juan like a madwoman.
"I told you, it's useless. Can't you understand?" Hao Juan snorted coldly, thinking that if it weren't for the fact that she still had some use for Wu Xixue, she would have already turned into a ghost by now.
She summoned a protective barrier to shield herself.
Clang! Clang!
Layer after layer of the barrier shattered, but Hao Juan seemed unfazed, mockingly saying, "Oh, quite impressive! Let’s see how long you can hold on."
Wu Xixue remained silent, her face cold as she moved closer to Hao Juan. She was searching for an opportunity!
But then, Hao Juan sent out a sword strike. Wu Xixue felt a sharp pain in her leg; her legs became unsteady.
If it weren't for the spiritual energy supporting her, she would have likely fallen to the ground by now.
"Hahaha." Hao Juan smiled as she approached Wu Xixue, lifting her chin lightly with the sword and taunting, "Empress, is this all you've got? Why are you being so disobedient? The Great Immortal said he just wanted to introduce you to my master; he won't do anything to you, right?"
Chen Anlin struggled to get up, feeling anxious inside. This was troublesome.
However, what surprised him was that Hao Juan's luck was rapidly declining. Soon, she was left with only a single-digit value.
At that moment, Wu Xixue suddenly laughed: "What a load of nonsense about immortals. Today, even if I perish alongside you, I will kill you."
Hao Juan frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition crept into her mind. In the next instant, her pupils constricted.
A brilliant golden light suddenly erupted from Wu Xixue, piercing directly through Hao Juan's body.
"It's a Golden Light Talisman! You actually have this item—no, please, no!" Hao Juan screamed in horror as the golden light enveloped her completely.
However, being so close to Wu Xixue also meant that she could not avoid harm. She managed to shout one last thing: "Xiao Anzi, run!"
Then she too was engulfed by the light.
Chen Anlin crossed his arms in front of himself and gritted his teeth as he advanced. His body was pierced by streams of golden light, suffering injuries. Fortunately, he had the Shield Jade.
But before long, the Shield Jade shattered completely.
At that moment, the Golden Light Talisman had already disappeared.
Cough cough cough.
Suddenly, Chen Anlin saw that Hao Juan was still alive.
Cough cough cough. Hao Juan coughed violently as she struggled to get up, cursing: "Damn it! You actually used a Golden Light Talisman—this is something even Nascent Soul cultivators fear! But your cultivation is too low; you couldn't even unleash half of its power."
"Is that so? But you seem to have forgotten about me."
Chen Anlin's voice echoed like a ghost behind Hao Juan.
Realizing something, Hao Juan hurriedly shouted: "Wait a moment, young man!"
Swish!
Chen Anlin unleashed a sword aura that severed her head from her body.
