Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Chapter 1049: Chapter 312: The Valley Master of Medicine Master Valley! The Sixth State’s Bloodshed!

The elixir within her body has been completely consumed, and after killing twelve people in a row, a mortal is still a mortal, she was finally out of breath.

Originally, she thought of escaping by climbing over the wall, but the army led by Empress Lu Yi had already arrived at the scene.

This was not her fault; hesitating at the moment of execution had already delayed the opportunity for battle, and such a moment is fleeting. She was holding a little girl in her arms; if she abandoned little Qingyi, she was confident she could escape alone. But should she really abandon little Qingyi? Absolutely not, the ground was covered with corpses, and if the opponents couldn’t catch her, they’d be furious, and little Qingyi would be undoubtedly killed.

"Clang—"

"Clang—"

"Clang—"

Just as Qin Xiu gritted her teeth and prepared to fight once more, the sound of a brass bell gradually came from afar.

The deafening bell sound instilled awe in the hearts of men!

Qin Xiu held the little girl tightly, squinting as she looked into the distance.

From dozens of feet away, an exceptionally luxurious carriage was slowly approaching. The carriage quietly passed through the fog and rain, and upon closer inspection, a woman in imperial robes sat proudly in front of the carriage! The woman’s expression was cold yet calm, and with every movement, she exuded immense majesty. Despite her unparalleled beauty and breathtaking appearance, she still gave off a cold, ice-like feeling!

It was...

Qin Xiu remembered!

"It’s you! Lu Yi!"

Even though it’s never good to boost others’ morale and dampen one’s own, in her memories, Lu Yi was indeed an exceptionally formidable woman, admired by many for her celestial beauty and exceptional looks; being called a Celestial Being wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Yet, it was Lu Yi who had sent troops to raid them.

As for why this nation fell into such desperation.

But now is an opportunity; if she could hold the opponent hostage, there would be a twenty percent chance of survival, possibly even an opportunity to avenge the royals by killing her! But... Qin Xiu observed the opponent’s soldiers’ formation, and their defenses were impenetrable.

With every step the carriage advanced, the soldiers in front pushed forward one step, fully armed, and there were the corpses of palace maids of this nation scattered across the ground. The fog and rain obscured vision, and this path would be difficult!

Lu Yi saw Qin Xiu.

She also saw Qin Xiu’s blood-stained Qingfeng Sword; just now, Qin Xiu had taken out a soldier with one strike right before her eyes. The soldier had tried to sneak attack from behind but was still punctured directly in the neck! Now this soldier was kneeling, coughing up blood, and the gaze he cast toward Qin Xiu was filled with fear!

What kind of combat capability is this?

With beautiful eyes focused on Qin Xiu, stained with enemy blood, a strange thought emerged in her mind. Her red lips parted slightly, her eyebrows soft yet filled with a chill, she calmly spoke, "I shall grant you a chance to survive."

"If you can prove yourself over my commander, I shall grant you a chance to speak."

Lu Yi’s proposal likely stemmed from at least twenty soldiers having already fallen by Qin Xiu’s hand. If she didn’t take Qin Xiu down in front of the soldiers, the morale might waver. Hence, a direct challenge was indeed preferable.

Once they achieved victory, the army’s spirit would be instantly restored to a peak, a simple principle of warfare.

Upon hearing Lu Yi’s words, the hundred plus soldiers present were already cheering and shouting. They wanted Qin Xiu to die humiliated, like an ant, showcasing their nation’s strength and confidence! The seven-ranked general at the forefront stepped out; he was burly, wielding a great blade named Xu Dingsheng.

Xu Dingsheng looked at Qin Xiu with disdain.

He didn’t know how Qin Xiu had killed these soldiers, but he, Xu Dingsheng, could take on five elite soldiers himself! How many lives his blade had claimed was unknown, and could he ever fear this slender woman?

"Hey, scoundrel, our Empress has granted you a chance to speak!"

"Would you rather be pierced by countless arrows than die by my blade?"

"Hahaha!"

Xu Dingsheng jeered, and the soldiers beside him followed, laughing aloud.

"General Xu, why bother with the likes of a stray dog?"

"Indeed, now that Qin Xiu’s capital is shattered, she is just a stray dog; she doesn’t deserve to die by your blade!"

"Is she still thinking about sparing the little girl’s life now?"

"And the little girl looks so lovely. I wonder if she’ll cry when we kill her!"

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of laughter.

Lu Yi didn’t intend to stop her subordinates; she looked at Qin Xiu with her long, spellbinding eyes, waiting for Qin Xiu’s response.

And Qin Xiu glanced at the little Qingyi in her arms, her gaze already narrowed. The lady on the opponent’s side appeared gentle as water on the surface, but they wouldn’t deign to use many soldiers to engulf her? Moreover, remembering such a strategy, thinking of the issue of army morale was indeed impressive.

"Alright."

Qin Xiu thought calmly. It seems the Lu Yi she remembered wasn’t a woman of indecision. Besides her heavenly beauty and captivating figure, she was also an emperor.

An untrustworthy ruler!

What celebration is the celebration about? It’s a celebration with Lu Yi’s nation, or essentially her state to celebrate peace between the two sides. Then during this celebration, there was much tea, but unexpectedly afterward, they brought an army and directly attacked!

Haha.

Well-executed, truly a monarch. If the monarch were so merciful to the enemy, they wouldn’t be their sixth state’s ruler. Not to mention, in such chaotic times, they actually believed Lu Yi’s words, truly believing they could tread together?

Laughable.

Yet there’s no need to speak of it now; Qin Xiu wouldn’t lose her temper, which would lose her Royal Guard Captain’s dignity.

"Alright, isn’t it just wanting to kill me, the Guard Captain, before everyone? Okay, I can accept this challenge, but you need to ensure her safety." Qin Xiu looked at the woman on the carriage behind the soldiers, her eyes fixed on Qingyi under the eaves.

"This is the last trust I can place in your integrity; know that a weak little girl poses no threat."

"You wouldn’t fear even something so trivial, would you?"
