Chapter 2: The Hero Saves the Beauty

A somewhat weak voice interrupted Ji Hongxue's reverie

A woman dressed in a red gown, whose dignified appearance reveals an indescribable allure, gracefully stepped out of the flower palanquin

Hehe... I really didn't expect that the third princess, rumored to be frail and delicate, is actually a practitioner at the sixth level of the Profound Body. I almost fell for it; her aura is well concealed..." The Tiger King looked at the woman before him, suddenly his gaze turned fierce, revealing a toothy grin, "What a pity, I am at the eighth level of the Profound Body."

Ji Hongxue's hand, which was gripping the dagger, suddenly froze; her beautiful eyes widened in shock, and her heartbeat began to quicken as a rather peculiar suspicion inexplicably surged to the forefront of her mind

The four masters exchanged glances and simultaneously launched an attack on the Tyrant Tiger. The long swords in their hands emitted an exceptionally sharp sword aura. They were all top-tier experts in the martial arts world, capable of projecting their internal energy outward, resulting in immense destructive power

Which woman does not wish for a hero to arrive on a rainbow-colored cloud in her most desperate moments, rescuing her from peril?

"You actually hurt me, what do you think I should do to repay you?" The domineering tiger coldly laughed as he stepped closer to the fallen woman in red, his eyes burning with an aggressive gaze that roamed over her.

A hero saving a damsel in distress

Protect the princess

Hongmeng Continent, Canglan Kingdom, White Tiger Wilderness

She has already seen through the cultivation level of that young man, which is merely the third stage of the Profound Body Realm

"A heavenly-level assassin... Brother Wang truly thinks highly of me," Ji Hongxue said with a bitter smile

The man draped in a tiger-skin coat gazed upon such a beauty, his face revealing a look of regret, as if he had gained a deeper understanding of the phrase "beauty is often short-lived"

How is it possible ... ... '' Ji Hongxue was stunned, and a trace of despair finally appeared on her face

At that moment, Ji Hongxue felt an indescribable immense force obstructing her sprint. Her dagger was firmly clamped by a closing hand, which was bleeding profusely from the stab, yet remained unmoving, tightly gripping the blade.

Whoosh

Ji Hongxue approached Ba Hu with graceful steps, her pair of autumn-like eyes gradually becoming lively and expressive. In a charming and alluring tone, she said: "I never expected... Ba Hu, you are also someone who cherishes beauty..."

At that moment, a red light flashed

The Beyond Pavilion is a super-large assassin organization that spans over a dozen countries. The heavenly-level assassins they dispatch possess top-tier strength in any small country, and they are all top-tier experts who maintain a 100% success rate in their missions

The piercing gaze of the woman in red gradually faded to a dull gray, and a look of despair appeared on her face. There was only one opportunity; if she missed it, there would be no chance for a counterattack

Above the firmament, a massive void suddenly appeared

The giant sword crashed down onto the ground where the soldiers stood, sending shards of stone flying and causing the earth to tremble violently

The tyrant tiger let out a roar, its massive body being hurled away by the shockwave of the explosion

A young man in white lay on the sunken ground in a shape resembling the character "大", his hair disheveled, his breath faint as if it were a wisp of smoke

She is the Third Princess of the Azure Blue Kingdom, Ji Hongxue

Cough cough cough ... Is this the mortal realm?

There is an enemy attack

The tyrant tiger continues to wield its sword, one strike for each, one strike for each...

Oh no, I'm going to suffocate...

The energy erupted explosively

A robust figure draped in a tiger-skin coat landed lightly on the giant sword, arms crossed, gazing proudly at the hundreds of soldiers before him, his voice resonant as he declared: "Ji Hongxue, someone wants to buy your life"

The white light flashed like a thunderbolt, landing in front of the tyrant tiger

The fist came crashing down, directly striking the woman's abdomen

Ji Hongxue was struck by a punch, causing her to spit blood and fly backward for dozens of meters, crashing into the flower sedan behind her, which was reduced to a wreck, before she awkwardly rolled onto the ground

In the midst of the orderly procession, four skilled masters of lightness are carrying a beautifully adorned palanquin, traversing the rugged mountain path as if it were flat ground

Do not even mention the ethereal aura; even the spiritual energy is so thin

At this moment as well

Blood permeates the wilderness

She had one last choice left; in order to avoid being humiliated by the enemy, she decided to end her own life first! As she watched the approaching tyrant, she finally made up her mind and picked up the dagger to stab it into her own heart!

He lingered over the delicate and alluring figure of the woman

The remaining soldiers could not hold out for even one minute and were all killed.

It is already too late to block with the sword

One person saw the giant sword coming down and immediately crossed his sword to block it. Then, with a loud "bang," the sword broke, and the person was cut in half.

Why is my great hero lying down

The princess surprised him, and naturally, he must also surprise the princess

"No matter how many scraps come, they are useless." Ba Hu saw the four masters charging at him, laughed heartily, and suddenly, the mysterious iron giant sword in his hand was enveloped in golden light, striking towards the four with an even more domineering momentum

The tyrant tiger, like a bulldozer, pushed through relentlessly, and with a mere swing of his sword, dozens of soldiers met their demise

Her phoenix-like eyes shimmer with brilliance, and her lips resemble cherry blossoms. With a glance, she seems capable of captivating one's heart and soul. Her long black hair cascades down to her waist, tied with a hairband that glimmers faintly. The exposed skin is fair with a hint of rosy hue, and her features are exquisitely flawless, belonging to the category of a rare and exceptional beauty.

Ji Hongxue, holding a crimson dagger, moved swiftly like a flying swallow, the dagger transforming into an extremely sharp red light

The fierce wind howled, and the rhythmic sound of footsteps shook the ground, causing the gravel to tremble

Three hundred soldiers clad in dark, menacing armor are swiftly advancing through the desolate wilderness

Ji Hongxue pressed her lips tightly together, the dagger in her hand trembling slightly

Debris is scattered everywhere, and blood covers the ground

Kill!

This absurd idea has actually come true

Boom

From the perspective of age, the young man has already reached the third level of the Xuan Body at a tender age, which is indeed a talent within the entire Canglan Kingdom. However, this is of no use here; he is simply not a match for the Tyrant Tiger. This is not a case of a hero saving a beauty; it is a matter of seeking death.

These soldiers are the princess's elite troops, and even if the enemy is a Tier 10 assassin from the Other Shore Pavilion, they still charge fiercely towards the strong man without fear of death

After a brief moment of ecstasy, Ji Hongxue fell into despair again

Ji Hongxue's long eyelashes fluttered

He originally intended to resolve the target with a single sword strike, but now he has changed his mind

The tyrant tiger stepped over the bodies of fallen soldiers, advancing step by step towards Ji Hongxue: "What a stunning beauty, it would truly be a pity to kill you like this..."

The curtain of the bridal sedan was lifted by a pair of snow-white jade hands

The four masters were quickly severed in two.

The plot of a hero saving a beauty seems to be different from what one might imagine

It must be a hero saving a beauty

The robust man fell to the ground, drawing up the eight-foot black iron giant sword: "Since you already know who sent me, I need not say more. The one who will kill you is the Heaven-level assassin of the Other Shore Pavilion, Ba Hu. I ask Princess Ji Hongxue to meet her death!"

It is important to understand that these elite soldiers of the princesses, no matter how weak, are capable of standing against a hundred foes. However, in the presence of the Tyrant Tiger, they are no different from ordinary soldiers, still able to slay a dozen opponents with a single sword strike, and with just a few swings of their swords, they can annihilate the enemy completely

Suddenly, a giant sword fell from the sky

Ji Hongxue gazed at the strange red flowers on the muscular man's tiger skin, furrowing her brows, and softly spoke: "The flowers bloom on the other shore, where there is no shore; the soul falls into the Oblivion River, yet still remains in the river... Are you a ground-level assassin from the Other Shore Pavilion?"

Three hundred soldiers roared as they drew their weapons, standing ready in formation

The sharp edge pierced through the palm, advancing all the way through

Ji Hongxue opened her delicate pink lips, gazing in disbelief at the scene before her

Boom

The tiger gazed at Ji Hongxue, who had walked up to him, and suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his body, as a bold idea surged to the forefront of his mind

The four skilled bearers of the sedan chair exchanged glances, their expressions darkening as they simultaneously drew the swords from their waists

Boom! The air waves surged.

In that very moment, driven by the instincts of a killer, Ba Hu raised his hand to shield his chest and quickly retreated

"Heavenly level," said the strong man

Quick! Protect the princess

The tyrant tiger charged into the formation of three hundred enemy soldiers at an astonishing speed. The dark iron greatsword whistled through the air, and with a fierce swing, it cleaved through a dozen soldiers clad in steel armor, causing their armor to cave in and shatter, sending their bodies soaring into the sky, only to crash to the ground, lifeless.

He saw a sharp and chilling aura of killing intent, which unexpectedly lunged towards his chest with incredible speed

A sense of crisis instantly surged throughout the body

Three hundred soldiers changed their expressions drastically, with some even showing signs of terror and despair on their faces
