A person’s strength is often reflected not only in their power but also in their willpower!

Some people with great strength do not have a strong heart. The path they can walk is always short and far, even if they are powerful for a time, they can never be powerful for a lifetime. Anyone who can become mighty enough to be renowned throughout history has a strong, indomitable, and unbreakable heart!

Princess Zi Xuan, when all the female disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple were running for their lives, chose to stay. She chose not to tell anyone how she would stay, sitting cross-legged on the highest peak of the Flying Flower Zen Temple’s heritage site. She stayed not only because she is the Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple and couldn’t lose dignity nor allow the temple to lose its honor. More importantly, she believes that the various heritages of the Northern State Territory are storming in, determined to obtain the Flying Flower Divine Skill and Immortal Origin Liquid at all costs, being merciless and ruthless. While obtaining the Flying Flower Divine Skill and Immortal Origin Liquid, they would also commit acts of extermination, thoroughly eradicating the temple’s heritage so that no disciples of the Flying Flower Zen Temple can seek revenge in the future. They will certainly root out everything!

Therefore, in this situation, the only method Princess Zi Xuan thought of was to stay in the heritage site of the Flying Flower Zen Temple. To the outside world, only she knows the location of the Flying Flower Divine Skill and Immortal Origin Liquid, which is reasonable. As long as she stays within the temple’s heritage site, these forces that have come to exterminate will not randomly harm the other female disciples, or have much time, but will swarming towards Princess Zi Xuan’s location, fearing that other heritages will beat them to the Flying Flower Divine Skill and Immortal Origin Liquid!

It must be said, Princess Zi Xuan is smart, her method is very effective. However, for herself, it is extremely dangerous, as she virtually gathers all forces attacking the Flying Flower Zen Temple onto herself, a situation of nine deaths and one survivor. Princess Zi Xuan is not yet strong enough to sweep throughout the Northern State Territory and defeat all martial artists, so for herself, it is incredibly perilous!

The dark night is often the moment when blood spills within five steps. Sure enough, at the highest heritage peak where Princess Zi Xuan and Ye Tianchen are located, countless murderous intents quickly surrounded them, swirling around, ready to strike at any moment!

Princess Zi Xuan struck decisively, a Flying Flower Divine Palm killed the martial artist who first attacked, annihilating them completely, shocking the masses. This is what Princess Zi Xuan must do now. Ye Tianchen sits behind Princess Zi Xuan, not the first to act, but supporting her from the rear. Meanwhile, Ye Tianchen continues to restore his power, healing his injuries. This is a perilous battle, the beginning is already showing, and the outcome is unknown. Ye Tianchen dare not act rashly!

”I, Zi Xuan, am here, as the Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, will absolutely not allow anyone to act recklessly!” Princess Zi Xuan said loudly, her voice permeating the surroundings as an act of intimidation!

”Hmph, Sang Qing has passed on, what can you, the new Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, use to protect it?” a voice sneered disdainfully.

”If the soldiers come, I will fight; if the water rises, I will defend with earth. If you want to kill, I will accompany you to the end!” Princess Zi Xuan spoke with an imposing momentum.

At this point, there is no reason to speak. Whether in action or in words, one’s momentum is absolutely crucial. If weakened, one might face an overwhelming force, becoming vulnerable to defeat!

”Hahaha, your cultivation realm is only at the Early-stage Martial Saint, any old generation martial artist of the heritages can defeat you. Do you think you can really preserve the temple’s heritage?”

”Even in defeat, I will not retreat half a step!” Princess Zi Xuan asserted resolutely.

Bang!

Just as the words fell, a powerful palm struck towards Princess Zi Xuan. In the dark clouds appeared a young man, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at Princess Zi Xuan!

Bang!

Princess Zi Xuan responded to the young man with a palm as well!

When the two palm forces collided, they were evenly matched, indicating that the young man’s cultivation realm was not weak, at the least at the Early-stage Martial Saint level, not weaker than Princess Zi Xuan!

”You are from the Illusion Sect!” Princess Zi Xuan said while looking at the young man.

”Correct, Mou Yun was defeated by you, but I, Mo Huan, will not!” the young man laughed coldly.

”You are Mo Yun’s senior brother, Mo Huan. I heard you have been in seclusion for years, but I didn’t expect you to appear!” Princess Zi Xuan said coldly as she looked at Mo Huan.

”It’s all because of the allure of your Flying Flower Zen Temple’s Flying Flower Divine Art’s general outline and the Immortal Origin Liquid that I had to break my seclusion and come out. Let me send you, the new Sect Leader of Flying Flower Zen Temple, off on your final journey. Dying at someone else’s hands is an injustice for you!” Mo Huan said confidently and arrogantly as he looked at Princess Zi Xuan.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Mo Huan attacked, and Princess Zi Xuan naturally would not be outdone. She also charged forward. The two exchanged a few palms in mid-air, standing at a stalemate, both their eyes filled with murderous intent as they looked at each other. At this moment, everyone knew that only through slaughter, only by determining life and death, would the battle between the two end!

”I didn’t expect that over the years, you’ve grown quite a lot!” Mo Huan said as he looked at Princess Zi Xuan.

”Both of us have. Back then, you and I had a fight without a decisive outcome. Today, let’s determine life and death!” Princess Zi Xuan said through gritted teeth.

”You, as the newly appointed Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, fight with me so recklessly just to protect your sect’s inheritance. It’s a pity you simply can’t do it. My strength has already surpassed yours, as has my cultivation realm!” Mo Huan said with a cold laugh.

Boom!

Suddenly, as soon as Mo Huan finished speaking, his aura also changed, becoming even stronger. Princess Zi Xuan couldn’t help but frown, because she could feel the change in Mo Huan’s aura, his cultivation realm had changed too, from Early-stage Martial Saint to Mid-stage Martial Saint!

”You were hiding your cultivation realm earlier!” Princess Zi Xuan frowned as she looked at Mo Huan.

”Yes, I was just teasing you before. Now this is my true strength. Do you still have such momentum, or are you going to hand over the general outline of the Flying Flower Divine Art and the Immortal Origin Liquid to me? Let me give you a quick death to spare you from the added anguish of others targeting you for your heritage?” Mo Huan said playfully as he looked at Princess Zi Xuan.

Bang!

Unexpectedly, just as Mo Huan displayed his true cultivation realm, no longer toying with Princess Zi Xuan, she punched forward fiercely, surprising Mo Huan. He hadn’t expected Princess Zi Xuan to dare strike so strongly, driving her fist towards him. One must understand that his cultivation realm had exceeded that of Princess Zi Xuan, and by common reasoning, a difference in cultivation realm would mean a gap in strength as vast as the heavens and earth. It’s inconceivable that Princess Zi Xuan would not understand this truth. Even if she wanted to fight Mo Huan to the death, she wouldn’t need to charge forward proactively, catching Mo Huan off guard!

”Courting death!” Mo Huan’s mouth curled into a cold smile, and with his right hand, he fiercely launched a punch filled with energy. In his view, this punch should be enough to send Princess Zi Xuan flying back, to seriously wound her!

Rumble!

The two fists collided in mid-air, and to Mo Huan’s surprise, his fist energy didn’t gain the upper hand. Instead, it was an evenly matched situation, momentarily causing Mo Huan to be stunned. When he arrived here a moment ago, he had seen that Princess Zi Xuan was only at the Early-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm and hadn’t broken through over the years. Mo Huan, on the other hand, had broken through to the Mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, surpassing Princess Zi Xuan’s cultivation realm by a whole level, and naturally, the strength would also differ by a whole level!

Back then, during the martial arts competition among the younger generation, Princess Zi Xuan and Mo Huan had fought before, but that fight was conducted in front of the older generation of their respective sects, limited to just demonstrations, not a bloody battle for mortality. At that time, Princess Zi Xuan and Mo Huan ended in a draw, which Mo Huan always resented. Because back then, Princess Zi Xuan had just reached the Early-stage Martial Saint cultivation realm, while Mo Huan had long been established beyond that at Early-stage Martial Saint. In terms of foundation and battle experience, he far surpassed Princess Zi Xuan, yet they still ended in a draw. Mo Huan remembered this incident well, which is why he couldn’t wait to come out and defeat Princess Zi Xuan, while also arrogantly and deliberately suppressing his cultivation realm at the Early-stage Martial Saint to taunt Princess Zi Xuan.

However, what Mo Huan hadn’t anticipated was that even after showcasing his full cultivation realm, no longer suppressing it, and raising it to Mid-stage Martial Saint, after a hard collision with Princess Zi Xuan who remained at Early-stage Martial Saint, he still felt that his power hadn’t greatly surpassed Princess Zi Xuan’s, with his face being brutally slapped by reality, leaving him feeling utterly humiliated!

”You... your cultivation realm and combat strength are not proportional!” Mo Huan couldn’t help but say coldly as he looked at Princess Zi Xuan.

”Over the years, even though I haven’t broken through my cultivation realm, I have gained more insight into the Taoism, especially now, I will defend the Flying Flower Zen Temple with my life!” Princess Zi Xuan said with unyielding determination in her eyes.
