The masked man was now gnashing his teeth at An Xuetang, clenching his fists, “An Xuetang, it seems that my warnings to you were not enough, were they?”
Facing his anger, An Xue Tang’s expression did not change in the slightest. Her cold eyes dared to meet his gaze.
She fell silent for a moment before meeting his gaze defiantly. “Whether it’s me, the imperial concubine, or the King of Beijiang,” she said slowly, “we fear nothing!”
After saying that, she suddenly darkened her face and took a step closer to the man. She stood face-to-face with him, and in the face of his rage, the fire in her eyes burned even brighter than his.
“I didn’t ask for all of your people to die as retribution for killing my own. Be grateful!”
The masked man sneered, “Princess of Beijang, you have quite the nerve. So you aren’t afraid that I’ll kill King Beijang right in front of you?”
Faced with the man’s threat, An Xuetang sneered, mimicking his expression, “If you can accept a beautiful woman dying in front of you while lying in bed, then come at me.”
Threat?!
That beauty is the man in the mask’s weakness. Anything that threatens her can easily anger him.
So, the moment An Xuetang said this, the man immediately attacked her.
He was indeed impressive, but An Xue Tang wasn’t the type to just stand there and wait for him to make a move.
As soon as he charged, Eleven stepped in front of An Xue Tang, ready to fight the masked man.
Unfortunately, Shi Yi’s skill was far inferior to the masked man’s, so he couldn’t withstand even three moves from him in a direct confrontation.
Soon, Shi Eleven was struck by two palms from the masked man, blood spilling from his mouth.
But in order to protect their queen, Shi Yi was just knocked aside. He struggled to his feet and wanted to continue shielding An Xue Tang.
An Xuetang’s eyebrows tightened, she quickly stopped Eleven and said, “Eleven, let me.”
Having said that, she picked up a long sword from the side and charged at the man without a word.
As it turned out, she had already taken advantage of Eleventh’s delay to stall this man. While he was distracted, she consumed the drug Feng Ming had given her, which allowed her to temporarily possess inner strength.
The masked man never looked at An Xue Tang from the beginning to the end. In his eyes, An Xue Tang, a woman who didn’t even have inner strength, no matter how capable she was, could she possibly turn over this world?
Thus, as An Xue Tang picked up her sword, a sarcastic smile unconsciously curved his lips.
After An Xuetang raised her sword, pointing it at him, he let out a chuckle, “Bei…”
At this moment, An Xuetang was like a changed person. Her entire aura had shifted, and even before the man could speak, he felt it.
In that moment of his distraction, An Xuetang moved with incredible speed. She drew her sword and charged towards the man.
The man in the mask narrowed his eyes slightly. He easily dodged An Xue Tang’s attack, dodging was dodging, but An Xue Tang’s speed truly surprised him.
And to his even greater surprise, An Xuetang actually possessed internal energy?
This shouldn’t be happening!
This isn’t the first time he’s interacted with An Xuetang, she clearly doesn’t have any inner strength!
But at this moment, she clearly had inner strength!
Could she possibly be hiding her inner strength?
Thinking of this, the masked man’s brows furrowed. He narrowed his eyes and stared at An Xuetang, coldly asking, “You actually have inner strength. So all along, you’ve been concealing it from me?”
The masked man thought to himself, as he felt rage building within him, that he had been deceived by such a young girl like An Xuetang. His eyes grew colder and more sinister.
An Xuetang had no time to waste talking nonsense with him right now. Taking advantage of the remaining internal energy, she relentlessly attacked him.
The masked man also wanted to know what An Xuetang’s abilities were, so he finally took her strength seriously.
An Xuetang’s skill surprised even Shi Yi who was watching from the side. Their princess’s skill surpassed him by far. How did their princess achieve this in such a short time?
Eleven watched, her mouth slightly open, as An Xue Tang took the masked man’s every move.
The masked man didn’t expect that this Northern Border Princess was truly a hidden gem.
Over the years, no one besides his master and senior brother has been able to withstand five moves from him.
He had already fought with her for over a dozen moves, and most importantly, he didn’t hold back at all. That is to say, even when he was using his true strength, he still couldn’t hurt her?!
The masked man’s deep eyes grew even more profound, and he actually started to consider absorbing An Xue Tang’s internal energy.
But when he used the suction heart method, for some unknown reason, he was instantly backlashed.
He suddenly jerked back, stumbling several steps before regaining his balance. When he did, his eyes, wide with disbelief, locked onto An Xuetang. “Who are you?”
An Xuetang glared at him coldly, “This concubine is this concubine, who else could it be?”
“No, you can’t be her!”
The masked man didn’t believe for a moment that the An Xue Tang before him was the same one he had interacted with previously. The previous Aunt An Xue Tang had no internal energy, and her aura wasn’t like this at all.
What puzzled him most was the source of her inner strength, and why it could backfire on him.
Even if he had absorbed three-tenths of his master’s power back then, it was only after absorbing that amount that he suffered backlash. Now, he hadn’t even absorbed any of An Xuetang’s internal energy, and yet he immediately received backlash!
Who is she, exactly?
The masked man’s eyes were fixed on An Xuetang, demanding to know who she really was. However, An Xuetang insisted that she was herself and would not change her name or surname.
The man in the mask still didn’t believe it, and he suddenly remembered Mo Yunjing at this moment.
He suddenly looked towards the house where Mo Yunjing was, and after thinking about something he didn’t know, he suddenly rushed into the house.
An Xue Tang’s heart tightened, she suddenly flew over and started fighting with him again, determined to stop him from going in.
The masked man had now realized what was going on. He ruthlessly attacked An Xuetang, his strike vicious and almost aimed at her life.
“Do you think you can stop me?”
An Xue Tang let out a cold snort, “So what? This princess’s husband is resting well. As long as I’m here, no one can disturb him.”
The masked man let out a cold snort, his tone icy and sharp, “Are you sure Mo Yunjing is still here? An Xue Tang, what game are you playing?”
He had guessed that An Xuetang was delaying him in this way to cover for Mo Yunjing, that something must be going on over there.
An Xuetang narrowed her eyes at this moment, naturally unable to admit that Mo Yunjing wasn’t in the room. She was very clear in her heart that she was indeed stalling for time because she had already heard about her dear Ah Jing sneaking out of the room.
The man in the mask now thought that Mo Yunjing had very likely sneaked into her room, his eyes bloodshot and filled with murderous intent. He was completely enraged, his attacks becoming even more vicious. An Xuetang didn’t have proper martial arts training after all, once the man in the mask was serious, she was indeed outmatched.
Soon, she endured the blow from the masked man.
The masked man, seizing the opportunity, charged into the room with a swift strike of his palm. The wooden door splintered and crashed to the floor instantly.
