Seven to eight men dressed in black suddenly emerged from the outskirts, their sharp eyes fixed on Miss Qiao.
Although Qiaoqiao felt somewhat surprised, there was no trace of shock in her demeanor. She didnāt waste any words on them and immediately unleashed a barrage of flying needles, sending them scattering like flower petals carried away by the wind.
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao had no patience for questions like āWho are you guys?ā
Regardless of their identities, if they had come to take her life, they needed to be prepared to face death.
Qiao Muās attack was swift and unrelenting. Following the volley of flying needles, she swiftly produced over a hundred talismans from her inner world, hurling them at the group of men in black without hesitation.
The men in black were struck by the five-spirit talismans. While a few managed to evade, their movements were still visibly disrupted. However, two of them were caught within the electric grasp of a handful of thunder spirit talismans, causing lightning to surge through their bodies. They collapsed to the ground with grim expressions.
Qiao Muās fighting spirit flared brightly.
Witnesses saw a seemingly ordinary young girl with an impassive expression gracefully descend from Qingluanās back. In her hand, a gleaming longsword danced through the air, its blade aimed squarely at the throats of her assailants.
A palpable air of death encroached as two of the death warriors unfurled a massive net woven from red copper and gold, attempting to ensnare Qiao Muās head. In a heartbeat, she executed a spinning kick that landed squarely on the chest of one of the men, sending him sprawling to the ground.
With a swish, the Startled Swan Dagger from Qiao Muās mental arsenal sprung forth, swiftly slashing through a manās neck with incredible speed.
In less than five minutes of battle, one of their own had met their demise before their very eyes
Although they were sacrificial soldiers, none of them truly desired death.
However, strict orders had come from higher-ups today: they were to eliminate the young lady at any cost. So, none of them could afford to back down; they had to persevere.
Even though the girlās tactics were ruthless, she was proving to be a formidable adversary.
āMake way,ā a deep, commanding voice echoed from the rear of the crowd.
The onlookers quickly parted, allowing an unassuming middle-aged man to advance rapidly toward Qiao Mu.
Without a word, the man unleashed a volley of Viscount-level attacks directly at her face, displaying a particularly vicious intent. He aimed not only to end her life but also to mar her appearance.
Qiao Mu sneered and promptly used an icicle to intercept the incoming assault. Her Startled Swan Dagger whirled around the middle-aged man with lightning speed, returning to her grasp with a swish.
A streak of blood appeared on the manās arm, while a white mark on the back of his hand hinted at a concealed weapon.
The audacity of injuring her left Qiao Mu seething with anger. She reached out to restrain the little white snake that was poised to strike and communicated to the others mentally: āDonāt interfere!ā
She was determined to handle this individual who had dared to harm her personally.
A fierce glint flashed in Qiao Muās eyes as she lunged forward, driving the Startled Swan Dagger toward the middle-aged man.
āHeh!ā A mocking smile played on the manās lips. With a mere wave of his hand, he summoned a spiritual aura Viscount, effortlessly blocking the Startled Swan Daggerās attack.
The Startled Swan Dagger struck the manās spiritual energy shield, despite the surge and sway of Qiao Muās own spiritual energy. Her efforts were in vain against this formidable defense.
Clearly, this personās defense was above hers, and his cultivation realm was definitely much higher than hers.
