Lu Xuanji's face turned pale instantly, as the black-clothed man was Ninth-Layer Divinity Transformation.
With "Qin Feng" at Fifth-Layer Divinity Transformation, he couldn't possibly resist.
General Shi Han was only at Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation, and he was also struggling.
Lu Xuanji shouted sharply, "General, use any killing move quickly. I can't hold on!"
"Cough, cough!"
Shi Han coughed and said, "In the previous battle, I used up some of my trump cards. Unfortunately, you will acpany me to the grave!"
Kill!
The dark figure said nothing more, driving a scarlet short sword that transformed into a stream of light to assassinate, fast and fierce.
At that moment, Lu Xuanji activated the jade pendant, and red rays shot out from it, instantly penetrating the dark figure's body. His eyes flashed with disbelief, "No, why is this happening?"
However, the aura connection on the assassin was severed, and the assassin perished on the spot.
Watching the corpse on the ground, Lu Xuanji activated flames to burn it, reducing the body to ash, and a gust of wind blew it away into the air.
Seeing this scene, Shi Han's eyes flashed a trace of vigilance, and he subconsciously took a step back.
Lu Xuanji stepped forward, a look of evil qi flashing in his eyes, and said, "General, back then, I was just a Golden Core Cultivator, a mere ant. But in a fortuitous encounter, I obtained a treasure and inherited from a senior. Relying on this senior's inheritance, I've made it this far."
"With this senior's treasure, I have a seven-tenths chance of achieving Refining Void, and even a one-tenth chance of achieving Harmonization."
As he spoke, his aura was brewing, ready to explode, transforming into a peerless killing intent.
Shi Han said, "You want to kill me?"
"Yes!" Lu Xuanji said, "General, you've been good to me. But I don't want this secret to be known by outsiders. Originally, I didn't want to act against you, but now I have no choice but to apologize. A person not for themselves, heaven will punish them."
Shi Han said, "You are a loose cultivator by birth, at most you can exchange for an earth-level cultivation technique, but I have a celestial-level technique. I can give you a celestial-level technique, even a portion of the [Hive Treasure Manual]."
Lu Xuanji said, "A very tempting offer. Unfortunately, it's not as important as my own life!"
Shi Han sighed, "I also have some secrets that I didn't want to reveal, but to survive, I have to expose them!"
Activating a secret technique, the aura on his body changed.
The originally heroic figure became softened, wearing a general's uniform, with golden long hair, a fiery and perfect physique, with wings appearing at her back, it was an absolutely beautiful woman. "Shi Han" spoke, "My name is Shi Xue, Shi Han is just a pseudonym for me!"
"My father is the Great Emperor Du Ling, I am his daughter, you can call me Princess Shi Xue."
"Greetings, Princess!" Lu Xuanji saluted respectfully, but with a look of suspicion, "The Great Emperor Du Ling is Ninth-Layer of Tribulation Crossing, also an unparalleled entity at the pinnacle of the Star Realm, but the Princess is in such a dire situation, being hunted by a Divinity Transformation assassin. Shouldn't there be Refining Void level guardians, or some Harmonization mighty ones as guardians around you? Or have some top-tier trump cards to turn the tides?"
Shi Xue coldly laughed, "My father, the Great Emperor Du Ling, has over fifteen thousand wives and concubines, with less than thirty qualified to be called principal wives; most are concubines. The Great Emperor has over a hundred thousand offspring, and I am just one of them. Among those children, if the aptitude is outstanding, they will be favored by the Great Emperor. But if the aptitude is poor, the Great Emperor disregards and treats them coldly!"
"My aptitude is only slightly above average, with a very low presence in the eyes of the Great Emperor, devoid of powerful guardians or strong trump cards."
Lu Xuanji was puzzled, "Your Highness's bone age is just over three thousand five hundred years, yet you are at Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation, such aptitude and you're only slightly above average? How is that possible?"
Is Shi Xue's aptitude poor?
Not bad at all, on the level of Ning Xue, Long Xuan.
Shi Xue sighed, "In mon cultivators, my aptitude is a genius among geniuses, entering the Divinity Transformation Realm in less than two thousand years. But among the descendants of the Great Emperor Du Ling, my aptitude is only slightly above average. In the eyes of the Great Emperor, only those with monstrous aptitude, capable of entering the Harmonization Realm, are regarded with importance!"
"And my aptitude is relatively poor, with a one in ten chance of entering Refining Void, and less than one in ten thousand chance of entering Harmonization."
"Offspring like me are so many in the eyes of the Great Emperor, even dying outside is a trivial matter."
Lu Xuanji was speechless, not knowing what to say.
He had no more than seven wives and concubines, and only two sons.
He couldn't prehend the worries of the Great Emperor Du Ling.
Lu Xuanji said, "Where did that assassin e from?"
Shi Xue gritted her teeth, "I don't know either. These days, making enemies is too easy, maybe just blocking someone's path, maybe just rubbing someone the wrong way."
Lu Xuanji said, "My condolences!"
Yet the killing intent did not diminish in the slightest.
Shi Xue said, "Do you think I'm beautiful?"
Lu Xuanji said, "Enchantingly beautiful!"
This Princess Shi Xue, in terms of appearance, was second only to Ning Xue.
There was an exotic flavor about her, with a distinctive scent.
Shi Xue said, "Let's bee Dao panions! As long as you agree to one condition of mine, I can bee your wife. As long as we sign a Life Contract, our destinies will be linked and there won't be any leaks. This is a guarantee!"
Lu Xuanji asked, "What is a Life Contract?"
