"Oh, there's actually a Cultivator, and a child at that?"
Upon seeing Shi Tou kill a bandit,
some of the strong Cultivators around the Third Boss's expression subtly changed.
"Shi Tou, what are you doing back? Hurry and leave!"
The Old Village Chief yelled, his voice hoarse and strained.
Shi Tou was their village's only Cultivator, their only hope.
"You little brat, how dare you kill a member of my Demon Wind Bandits!"
The other bandits surrounded him, attacking.
Among them were Saints and Great Saints.
However, with every move Shi Tou made, he instantly killed them!
"Hmm, a young Prodigy?"
Beside the Third Boss, a Heaven Venerable-level Cultivator made a move, directly attacking Shi Tou.
However, at this moment, Shi Tou was like one who had become demonic.
In his mind, an incredibly blurry yet magnificent figure seemed to appear.
All spirits in heaven and earth seemed to revolve around him.
Ancient characters from the Ten Thousand Spirit True Understanding flowed out, as if transforming into a surging river.
Shi Tou's strength also surged dramatically at this moment.
Pfft!
Blood splattered.
That Heaven Venerable-level Cultivator was actually blown apart by half his body with one punch from Shi Tou!
"Wh-what's going on? This little Prodigy…"
Some strong Cultivators' expressions changed.
This was truly alarming.
"Hmph…"
The Creation God Venerable-level Third Boss, with a hint of profundity in his eyes, directly made his move.
Bang!
Shi Tou was finally sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
His strength was indeed Heaven-Defying, completely inconsistent with his age, like a freak.
But even so, there was a limit.
Not everyone was a cheat like Jun Xiaoyao, who transcended common sense.
Therefore, facing a Creation God Venerable-level strong Cultivator, Shi Tou was still outmatched.
"Shi Tou, hurry and leave! As long as you're alive, there's still a glimmer of hope."
"Otherwise, there'll be nothing left!" the Village Chief shouted.
"Old geezer…"
A bandit made a move, directly killing the Village Chief, blood splattering.
"Village Chief…"
Shi Tou's teeth were almost ground to dust, but he still flashed away, fleeing rapidly.
"Trying to run?"
Seeing this, the Third Boss and a group of strong Cultivators stepped forward, giving chase.
Along the way,
Shi Tou was in constant peril.
He intentionally ran into the deep mountains, where some powerful Yao Beasts lurked.
They could help delay and block the Demon Wind Bandits.
"Village Chief, Uncle, Auntie, Xiao Hua, and all the villagers…"
Blood overflowed from Shi Tou's mouth, and his eyes held a bone-deep hatred.
"If only I were strong enough…"
Shi Tou gritted his teeth tightly.
He was indeed a Prodigy.
But he still wasn't strong enough.
After some time,
Shi Tou himself didn't even know where he had arrived.
"Did I shake them off?"
Shi Tou gasped for breath.
And just then,
a massive palm print of magic power descended from the sky.
Shi Tou quickly dodged, trying to resist, but was still affected.
Pfft!
Shi Tou once again spat out a large mouthful of blood, his animal skin clothes stained red.
"He's indeed a troublesome little brat."
The Third Boss of the Demon Wind Bandits stood in the Void Realm, looking coldly at Shi Tou.
"Am I really going to die here today?"
Shi Tou felt his mind hazy and heavy, severely wounded and exhausted.
He had endured a long chase, even counter-killing several strong Cultivators of the Demon Wind Bandits.
He was already pushed to his limit.
The next moment, the Third Boss of the Demon Wind Bandits raised his palm, about to strike down and kill Shi Tou.
And at this moment,
Shi Tou saw it.
A silver-white Divine Phoenix, flapping its wings, soared from afar.
Shi Tou recognized what it was.
"Sa… save me!"
Shi Tou used his last bit of strength to shout.
Then he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
In the distant sky, the Spirit Phoenix of Moon Gazing flapped its wings and arrived.
There were two figures on it.
Naturally, it was the Princess and the black-robed woman beside her.
Seeing Shi Tou, who was already unconscious and lost his senses,
the Princess's expression beneath her mask was indifferent.
However, the next moment,
an unexpected scene occurred.
The Third Boss of the Demon Wind Bandits, who had just been cold and murderous,
upon seeing the Princess, his expression immediately became wary and respectful.
He bowed ninety degrees to the Princess, saying,
"Your Highness, Princess, I have fulfilled my mission."
This Third Boss, who had just been filled with Evil Qi, was now like a mouse seeing a cat.
His eyes even held a hint of fear.
That's right, their Demon Wind Bandits were ruthless and killed without restraint.
But this mysterious Princess of the Wangyue Dynasty was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
A woman with such a Heart-Nature and methods made the Third Boss both admire and fear her.
"Well done."
The Princess's tone was indifferent and devoid of emotion.
"Serving Your Highness, Princess, is an honor for our Demon Wind Bandits."
The Third Boss of the Demon Wind Bandits sighed in relief, smiling slightly.
Although their Demon Wind Bandits had a notorious reputation, they were ultimately a second-rate force.
If they could gain the support of the Princess of the Wangyue Dynasty, their future would naturally be even better.
The Princess nodded slightly, saying, "Since the mission is complete, you may leave."
As the Princess's words fell,
the black-robed woman beside her moved like a black lightning bolt, a curved blade appearing in her hand, striking down at the Third Boss of the Demon Wind Bandits.
The curved blade swept across, and blood flowed instantly!
This Third Boss's body was split in two!
His Primordial Spirit was also cut off from life.
"Why…"
The Third Boss was in disbelief.
They had clearly completed the mission and sworn loyalty to the Princess.
"Dead men are the most obedient."
The Princess stood with her hands behind her back, her black hair fluttering.
Though beautiful to the extreme, her words at this moment were as cold as a Devil King's.
The Third Boss's eyes widened, then he died instantly.
It turned out that their fate had already been sealed.
"Go and wipe out all of the Demon Wind Bandits, leaving no one alive," the Princess said indifferently.
The Demon Wind Bandits, after all, were a mid-sized force, equivalent to a mid-sized School.
But in the Princess's eyes, they were nothing but dust.
Just like how the Demon Wind Bandits had viewed the Mortals in the small mountain village earlier.
"Yes, Young Miss."
The black-robed woman flashed, as if transforming into a phantom, instantly disappearing from her original spot.
The Princess descended from the Spirit Phoenix of Moon Gazing and walked to the unconscious Shi Tou.
In her palm was a ring, which now glowed with a warm, lustrous light.
It seemed to resonate with Shi Tou before her.
"It really is him, but what Opportunity can he bring me? I'm rather looking forward to it."
The Princess murmured in her heart.
Then, as if she suddenly sensed something, she put away the ring and said indifferently,
"Your Excellency, why don't you show yourself?"
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The sound of applause came.
From the Void Realm, a Young Master in snow-white clothes walked out, ethereal and transcendent, flawlessly handsome.
"Your Highness, Princess, this self-directed play of yours is truly admirable."
The person who appeared was, of course, Jun Xiaoyao.
But the moment Jun Xiaoyao appeared,
a sword formed from magic power stopped at the center of Jun Xiaoyao's brows.
The Princess held the sword with her jade hand, her black hair dancing, and her golden mask added a few points of mysterious beauty to her.
"Does Your Highness, Princess, also wish to kill me, just like you killed those bandits just now?"
Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained unchanged, and even his Qi was perfectly stable.
"You know too much," the Princess said.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't disrupt your plan."
"In fact, this prey, which I had set my eyes on, can even be given to you."
"Why?" the Princess asked.
Her question was directed at Jun Xiaoyao, and also at herself.
Because, according to her usual Heart-Nature,
if it were anyone else, this sword would have already struck down without the slightest hesitation, and she wouldn't have wasted any more words.
How could she merely be putting on a show?
