This sudden change left Xuexue stunned, looking incredulously at her own hand, then at the carriage driver with only his head left above ground, as he was completely submerged into the earth.
How had she become so incredibly strong? With just a casual palm strike, she had knocked a hulking strong man into the ground.
Xiao Jiu was perched atop the carriage roof nearby, shouting excitedly, "Master, that was amazing, splendid!"
Xuexue hadn’t fully processed what happened, turning her head blankly to look at it, then at her own hand, "When... when did I become so strong, why was I not aware?"
Xiao Jiu laughed, its voice shrill, "Hehehe...! Master, have you forgotten? I gave you a Ginseng Fruit earlier, it boosts martial power, do you believe it now? Hmph! You doubted me before."
Master really doesn’t recognize treasure, but Lin Kong does, knowing the Ginseng Fruit is valuable. He snatched it up and ate it immediately. Unfortunately, he was clever and initially took the fake one to prevent someone from robbing it halfway.
Only then did Xuexue realize, it was the power of the Human Heart Fruit.
Long Yi harbored deep resentment towards the carriage driver, walked over, and kicked his head a few times, asking harshly, "What exactly did you give the Prince to eat? Quickly hand over the antidote, or I’ll kill you."
The carriage driver was completely buried in the ground, unable to move. The ground was not loose soil but solid rock. He was embedded into it by Xuexue’s palm strike, as if embedded within it, unable to move a fraction. Given the ground’s firmness, when he was struck in, his internal organs suffered injuries too.
The carriage driver felt like he was trapped in a stone chamber, but having battled on the battlefield year after year, he had developed an iron will. Facing death, he exhibited a fearlessness, roaring loudly, "Just kill me, I won’t tell you."
The death of the War Prince was beneficial for Wei Country. Due to Long Rui’s presence in recent years, they dared not attack Moli Country. The State Preceptor painstakingly engineered the capture of the renowned War God, and now he was rescued. Fortunately, the State Preceptor was foresighted and administered several types of poison on him. Even if Long Rui was rescued, without the antidote, it was a dead end.
So, as a Military General of Wei Country, how could he possibly divulge the antidote?
Long Yi became furious, kicked the carriage driver a few more times, swearing, "Got a backbone, huh? Just wait, if I don’t make you wish you were dead, I’m not a Long."
The carriage driver threw his head back and laughed heartily, his mouth full of blood, "Then be ready to be a turtle, if I frown for a moment, I’m not a real hero."
After speaking, he looked up and loudly declared, "I do not fear total annihilation, as long as my integrity remains."
As soon as the carriage driver finished speaking, an indignant Long Yi kicked again, and this time, the severely bloodied head suffered another heavy blow, turning into a bloody mess.
"A petty man from an enemy country sneaks into Moli Country, speaking as if they’re so noble. Not afraid of death, are you? Just wait, I’m personally attending to you today."
Long Yi turned his head and said to his subordinates, "Get this old tortoise out of here."
The guards pulled with all their might, but the carriage driver’s body was embedded in the ground, not moving an inch.
"Guard Commander, we can’t pull him out, what should we do?" The guards circled the carriage driver several times, troubled. The Princess Consort was too formidable, managing to strike someone into the ground with one palm, and they couldn’t even pull him out.
Long Yi observed carefully, realizing the ground was all rock, no wonder his men couldn’t pull him out. Filled with admiration for Xuexue, the Princess Consort’s martial power was almost on par with the Master’s. He then turned and said to everyone, "Pry it open, get the ground pried up and get this turtle bastard out."
