38. I Can't Afford To Play Anymore
Boom!
A thunderous explosion echoed, filling the sky with dust. All eyes were drawn to the scene.
As the dust gradually cleared, two figures slowly emerged.
"The Wind Guillotine is General Hei Ya's strongest move. Countless strong warriors have died under his giant axe. He can't possibly lose!" Gu Ya clenched his fists.
Xia Lulu gently touched her cheek, remaining silent as if she had already foreseen the outcome.
Due to the superior vision of the Dragon Clan, they were the first to see the result.
Sera, who initially seemed uninterested, suddenly widened her eyes in excitement, even a smile curling up at the corners of her mouth.
After unleashing his trump card, Hei Ya still stood in place, panting heavily and frowning. Clearly, the backlash from the Thorn Aura had dealt him a significant blow, and he hadn't recovered yet.
On the other hand, Xia Yi…
She was already lying on the ground, covered in dust, looking defeated. Tears welled up in her eyes, a stark contrast to her previous confident demeanor.
"Damn, it hurts so much!!"
Xia Yi touched her waist, seemingly not seriously injured, just knocked away.
When she got up and looked at the panting Hei Ya, the awkward yet polite smiles of the royal maids, and her mother's "don't try to imitate me, you can't handle it" expression, she felt so embarrassed she could dig a hole with her toes.
The atmosphere became awkward due to the princess's failed attempt to show off.
"Hei Ya is so strong, so strong!!" The lizardmen began cheering loudly.
Seeing this, Gu Ya felt reassured. He straightened his back, overjoyed. Indeed, General Hei Ya was very strong.
He glanced at Xia Lulu, somewhat surprised.
Despite her daughter's defeat in battle, she still wore a calm smile, which was puzzling.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the princess is not very good at fighting. General Hei Ya has already shown mercy. For the safety of the princess, shall we call it off?"
Xia Lulu didn't even look at Gu Ya, she just said leisurely: "I think you should worry about General Hei Ya's life first."
"?"
Gu Ya didn't understand what she meant. Had the Silver Dragon Queen gone mad? Couldn't she see the current situation?
"Silver Dragon Princess, shall we call it a day?" Hei Ya said, "Let's stop here. Continuing the fight won't be good for you. You can't withstand my Wind's End."
"I… I just made a mistake!!" Xia Yi defended herself, "I just made a tiny mistake in controlling the power of your move!"
She didn't dare to meet her mother's eyes anymore.
Damn it!!
She just wanted to show off, but ended up embarrassing herself. It would have been better to fight normally.
"Silver Dragon Princess, you may have some talent, but fighting is not for you. Fighting is a serious matter, not a game--"
"The fight isn't over yet, I'm getting serious! Show me your real skills!"
Xia Yi, her face flushed, interrupted Hei Ya.
The little princess was really anxious now, not caring about whether she could handle it or not.
"Holy Sword Gram!"
She urgently summoned the Holy Sword. After a clear sword cry, the Holy Sword appeared in her hand.
The Holy Sword was also brimming with fighting spirit, slightly trembling, resonating with Xia Yi's sword heart, and flashing with a sharp light.
A fierce sword intent emerged from the little princess.
Due to years of battle instinct, Hei Ya 's expression changed abruptly. He felt a sense of impending doom. This kind of sword intent was something only a swordsman who had struggled on the edge of life and death for many years could possess.
He couldn't understand why a pampered little princess could have such a honed sword intent?
Hei Ya didn't have any more time to think. Driven by survival instinct, he once again used the Wind Guillotine. This time, its power was even greater than before. He was treating the little dragon princess in front of him as a terrifying enemy, far more formidable than any he had faced before.
"Wind Guillotine!!"
"Slash!"
Xia Yi unleashed a sword aura that cut through the air, severing the wind whipped up by Hei Ya.
Hei Ya's body froze, and then his weapon shattered and fell to the ground. He grunted as the sword aura coursed through his body, leaving a wound. His eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
This scene, which seemed like a cheat code had been activated, left the lizardmen dumbfounded. They had been ready to pop champagne in celebration, but now they saw Hei Ya being carried away unconscious.
The Silver Dragon Princess was even more outrageous. One second she was a magician, the next she drew a sword and transformed into a swordsman, defeating Hei Ya in an instant.
The arena fell silent.
The Dragon Clan, having already witnessed Xia Yi's bizarre tactics, were not as surprised.
"What a pity, it ended just like that. I didn't even get to enjoy it for long…" Sera lamented.
"How about it, Prince Gu Ya?" Xia Lulu asked.
"The princess's strength is… beyond our imagination…"
Gu Ya lowered his head, forced to admit defeat.
Xia Yi put away the Holy Sword. She glanced at Hei Ya but wasn't too worried. In fact, she had held back when she struck. Plus, the lizardmen were known for their tough skin and flesh, so the wound was just a flesh wound.
The battle was over.
"Congratulations on your victory, Princess."
Lucia walked onto the battlefield, directing the Dragon Clan members to carry Hei Ya away, and came to congratulate Xia Yi.
"It's nothing, um, I… I just remembered I have something to do. I haven't fed the cats in the garden yet, I have to go!!"
Xia Yi didn't want to stay a moment longer. She made an excuse and left.
…
That night.
"Ugh, how embarrassing, so embarrassing!!"
Xia Yi was in her room, rolling on her bed with a pillow, her little white feet kicking in the air.
Thinking about how she had tried to imitate Xia Lulu and ended up embarrassing herself in front of her, she felt utterly mortified.
After the battle, she took a bath and hid in her room, too embarrassed to see anyone.
She didn't dare to think about how terrifying it would be if Xia Lulu, who loved to tease, made fun of her.
But she really wanted to know if Xia Lulu would agree to let her go to the Blackstone Kingdom after the battle. This was about whether she could run away from home…
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Xia Yi was a bit nervous, afraid it was Xia Lulu coming to tease her.
Fortunately, it was her personal maid, Sera.
"Princess, it's me, Sera."
"Oh…" Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Sera, come in."
"Yes."
Sera entered the room, and the first thing she addressed was the matter that the little princess was most concerned about.
"Princess, regarding your request to go to the Blackstone Kingdom to suppress the rebel Gudan, the Queen and Prince Gu Ya have discussed it and reached a decision."
