Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334: Chapter 331: Bearing Humiliation_1

She did not want to owe Xiao Rongyan any more favors.

Swiftly using her sword to remove the heavy iron sandbags from her legs, Bai Qingyan moved through the intense battle in the main hall.

He watched Bai Qingyan defend against the assassin maid from Xiliang, gripping his sword hilt tightly and shouting, "Yue Shi, protect the Commandery Princess!"

Her wrist had not yet fully regained its former agility, nor was her body as nimble and swift as before.

Facing and killing enemies... she relied entirely on her innate sensitivity to killing intent, her speed, and sheer courage.

Bai Qingyan’s sword gleamed with a dazzling, cold light. Her actions were so fast they left afterimages, with blood spraying and shockwaves spreading.

Li Zhijie blocked with his iron-bone fan, staring fixedly at Bai Qingyan and Li Tianfu, veins bulging on his forehead. He shouted harshly, "You can’t kill Bai Qingyan! Doing this will bring Xiliang to its doom! Don’t forget... you are the Princess of Xiliang!"

Li Tianfu’s eyes sparkled with a mad gleam as she sneered, "Of course, I know I’m the Princess of Xiliang!"

Her gaze shifted to Bai Qingyan, who was still fiercely fighting, and she screamed, "That’s why I want all of Xiliang to avenge my A Zhuo!"

Li Tianfu showed no mercy to Li Zhijie, pulling back her soft sword and striking. The sword, like a hook, aimed straight for Li Zhijie’s neck. If he hadn’t quickly opened his iron-bone fan to block, his head would have been severed by the sword slicing through iron like mud.

Li Zhijie widened his eyes, covering his neck where blood was gushing out. Had Li Tianfu gone insane?! She had actually used a killing move on him!

While Li Zhijie and Li Tianfu were entangled, her maids were either killed or captured, leaving Li Tianfu isolated and without support.

"Capture Li Tianfu!" the Crown Prince gritted his teeth, his eyes dark and grim. "Dead or alive!"

Li Zhijie closed his eyes, feeling helpless.

Today, if this madwoman Li Tianfu died here, it would be well-deserved.

The guards received the order and attacked Li Tianfu simultaneously.

"Bai Qingyan, I will kill you!" Li Tianfu screeched, charging straight at Bai Qingyan with her sword.

The dazzling noonday sunlight streamed in through the wide-open latticed windows. Bai Qingyan stood with her sword, her tall and straight figure shrouded in a mist of blood. Her body exuded a chilling killing intent, her sharp, cold gaze deep and serene, causing fear and making it difficult for anyone to meet her eyes.

This was the first time the nobles of Dadu City witnessed such slaughter and saw Bai Qingyan in action.

Though the woman was not clad in armor, her overwhelming killing intent had a thunderous, unstoppable momentum.

Sima Ping and his dissolute companions gulped, tightly clutching each other’s hands. It wasn’t hard to imagine how heroic this Bai family sister must be on the battlefield, filling them with admiration and longing.

They held their breath, waiting to see how Bai Qingyan would defeat Li Tianfu. Unexpectedly, Yue Shi appeared, having just captured the Xiliang maid, and forced the desperate Li Tianfu to retreat continuously, stumbling and falling to the ground.

Li Zhijie and his men were escorted out of the Crown Prince’s residence under the "care" of the Crown Prince’s guards.

Li Tianfu had her arms bound by Li Zhijie’s order and was led out by their Xiliang soldiers.

As she brushed past Bai Qingyan, Li Tianfu paused, turning her head to look at Bai Qingyan, who was calmly watching her. She gave a cold laugh, gritting her teeth, and said, "Bai Qingyan, if I don’t die, I will definitely kill everyone in the Bai family to avenge my A Zhuo!"

"Bai Qingyan awaits," Bai Qingyan gave a slight nod, her indifferent attitude making Li Tianfu seethe with hatred.

"Just you wait!" Li Tianfu’s hatred burned like a raging fire as she stepped out of the main hall of the Crown Prince’s residence.

The Crown Prince let out a cold snort, "If she weren’t the legitimate Princess of Xiliang, she would already be a corpse!"

Xiao Rongyan picked up the iron sandbag Bai Qingyan usually wore, handed it to his guard, and calmly walked to the Crown Prince, respectfully returning the longsword.

The Crown Prince saw Xiao Rongyan and finally allowed a smile to appear. He took the longsword, smiling as he said, "I didn’t expect Rongyan to have such good skills." _{ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com}

Xiao Rongyan tightened his grip slightly, smiling at Bai Qingyan with a sigh of what seemed to be regret. "How could I compare to the Princess of Zhen? I was hoping to gain her favor by saving her heroically, but I didn’t even get the chance and almost got hurt instead."

Xiao Rongyan brushed off the torn silk robe sliced by a dagger, looking somewhat fearful. "The dagger was poisoned, lethal upon even a tiny scratch. Rongyan... is honestly quite scared."

The Crown Prince let out a hearty laugh, leaning close to Xiao Rongyan, "I won’t tell the Princess of Zhen about your fear."
