Chapter 88: Ten Thousand Swords Attack

As Su Hua strolled down the street, she encountered a party pooper.

Qi Lanxin’s eyes lit up as she gazed at Mu Ye, completely ignoring Su Hua, who was holding his hand. She smiled and said, “Sir, I am the Ninth Princess of Huanglan Country. Would you be honored to have a meal with me?”

Everyone in Huanglan Country knew that the Emperor doted on the Ninth Princess, so her personality was quite unruly. She was known for her love of handsome men and had long established a mansion outside the palace, where she kept many beautiful men.

Upon hearing that students from Dongxu Country had arrived today, Qi Lanxin eagerly came to see if there were any handsome men among them. She didn’t expect to see Mu Ye on the way, and she immediately fell for him.

However, Mu Ye was not an ordinary person. Faced with the Ninth Princess’s invitation, he didn’t even bat an eyelid and calmly replied, “No.”

“Bold! This is the Ninth Princess. How dare you refuse the invitation from our Highness!” Qi Lanxin’s maid immediately stepped forward to reprimand him.

Mu Ye said nothing, holding Su Hua’s hand and intending to walk past them.

Qi Lanxin couldn’t tolerate being ignored like this and angrily ordered, “Stop them!”

As soon as she spoke, two hidden guards appeared in front of Mu Ye.

Mu Ye subconsciously tightened his grip on Su Hua’s hand and instinctively stood in front of her. These two guards exuded strong pressure.

Seeing this, Qi Lanxin became extremely angry and pointed at Su Hua, saying, “Kill that woman and tie up the man for me.”

Upon hearing this, one guard drew his sword, while the other stepped back and began chanting a spell.

The bystanders around quickly ran away, making sure they wouldn’t get hurt before they started watching the show.

“No need for you to intervene.” Su Hua pulled Mu Ye behind her. If Mu Ye were to make a move, people would realize he was a dark mage, which would lead to everyone attacking him.

Su Hua looked at Qi Lanxin, not far away, then glanced at the hidden guard who was thrusting his sword toward her. She swiftly moved aside, and with a flick of her hand, a red sword appeared.

At this moment, if anyone looked closely, they would notice that the purple bell bracelet on Su Hua’s wrist was nowhere to be seen.

Avoiding the guard’s tricky sword techniques, Su Hua swiftly swung her sword, landing a quick strike behind the guard. The guard, sensing danger, immediately blocked her with his sword.

“Clang!”

This was the sound of a mighty clash of swords.

“Clatter!”

This was the sound of a sword falling to the ground.

Su Hua’s sword momentum was unstoppable, as it directly severed the man’s sword and struck his shoulder blade.

The guard grunted and knelt on one knee.

At the same time, the other guard had finished chanting his spell. Thousands of swords made of fire elements rushed towards Su Hua, causing the bystanders to hold their breath in fear.

“This is Flame Gale Slash, a power that only advanced mages can wield.”

“Now that girl is doomed.”

“The power of this guard is terrifying.”

“Poor girl, she has offended the Ninth Princess.”

On the street, the girl stood with her sword, her golden butterfly-embroidered skirt shimmering in the light of the flames, as if it could take flight at any moment.

Suddenly, the girl stood tall in the air. She remained calm, her hands forming seals, and in front of her, the sword instantly transformed into tens of thousands of illusions, appearing even more numerous than the Flame Gale Slash.

“Ten thousand swords attack together!”

With Su Hua’s calm voice, thousands of Flame Gale Slashes clashed with tens of thousands of illusory swords.

At this moment, something strange happened.

All the Flame Gale Slashes that collided with the swords disappeared into the air without leaving a trace of magical elements. However, the illusory swords remained unstoppable as they continued to charge toward the hidden guard.

“Thunk—”
