As soon as Xiao Jiu saw the newcomer, it hovered in midair and shouted excitedly, "Master, Master, you’re finally here? The carriage driver is a bad guy, hit him, hit him, he wants to eat Xiao Jiu."

Xiao Jiu was very angry, wondering why all humans wanted to eat its meat.

"Relax, in a bit your master will peel off his skin and let you eat to your heart’s content."

"Good, great, eat human meat, eat human meat." Xiao Jiu seemed to vent a long-held breath as it croaked excitedly.

Turns out the person on horseback was Xuexue. She had ridden hard day and night and finally caught up.

"Hahahaha, and here I was wondering who it was. Turns out it’s just a little girl, talking so big—aren’t you afraid you’ll choke on your own words?" The carriage driver burst out laughing, clearly not taking Xuexue seriously at all.

He had been sent by Lin Kong to capture someone; his identity was far more than just a carriage driver. He was also a famous Military General of Wei Country, and being highly skilled in martial arts went without saying. Otherwise, Lin Kong would never have chosen him to infiltrate Moli Country.

Because of several previous battles with Moli Country, this time coming into Moli Country, he was feeling guilty like a thief, which was why he had wrapped himself up so tightly.

Not far away, Long Yi and Zi Xia, who were secretly watching the carriage, saw that Xuexue had arrived and also spurred their horses forward...

Zi Xia, on horseback, shouted loudly to Xuexue, "Young Miss!"

The carriage driver saw Xuexue had backup and didn’t dare be careless. He flicked his long whip toward the Prince in the carriage, looping it around him and yanking him toward himself.

Xuexue swiftly pulled out her dagger and slashed viciously at the driver’s whip.

"Tss!"

"Thud!"

The sound of the whip being cut was followed by the crash of a body hitting the ground.

After succeeding, Xuexue shouted loudly to Long Yi and Zi Xia, "Hurry up and take the Prince away."

Seeing the Prince paralyzed and stuffed into a burlap sack, thrown on the ground, Long Yi panicked. He immediately leapt off his horse and rushed forward. "Prince, Prince!"

Long Rui couldn’t move at all; he could only stare back at him helplessly.

The Prince’s martial arts were formidable; in the past he could fight off thousands alone. To see him humiliated like this today made Long Yi furious. He turned and glared at the carriage driver, then with a clang drew the treasured sword at his waist, intending to rush up and kill the driver to avenge the Prince. He didn’t forget to give instructions to Zi Xia, gritting his teeth as he said, "You escort the Prince back first, I’m going to slaughter that bastard—he actually dared treat the Prince like this."

The Prince’s condition brooked no delay. Zi Xia nodded and replied, "Alright, be careful, and protect the Young Miss."

Long Yi: "Got it!"

As they were speaking, a shrill scream suddenly rang out: "Ah...!"

They turned and took a look, and got a huge fright. Just a moment ago the carriage driver had been perfectly fine; in the blink of an eye, half his body was buried in the ground. His face was bruised black and blue, his features almost unrecognizable—it was a wretched sight.

This man, who usually wouldn’t make a sound even on the battlefield, couldn’t help crying out in pain at this moment, "Ah... it hurts...!"

Everything had happened too fast. When the body is hit by pain, instinct makes a person scream.

After shouting, the driver felt deeply ashamed. A man of iron and blood like him, actually beaten into wailing like a ghost by a weak woman—if word of this got back to Wei Country, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock? So he clamped his lips tightly, endured the pain all over his body, and kept silent.

Blood filled his mouth. His eyes bulged wide as he glared viciously at Xuexue. This damned girl looked delicate and weak, yet in truth she was a martial world expert whose martial power surpassed his. He had truly underestimated her this time.

It turned out that after cutting through the driver’s whip, Xuexue casually followed up with a palm strike. That single strike smashed the driver straight into the ground. Wherever the Palm Wind swept past, the stones on the ground were kicked up, leaving countless small wounds all over his body, blood pouring down his face in streams.
