"Defend!"
He Lianxiu ordered her troops to form a defensive line imdiately.
"Hahaha, it's futile!" A young man in the mid-stage of the Third Realm sneered as he approached, flanked by two mid-stage Fourth Realm martial practitioners.
The soldiers around them stepped into view. Most were in the mid-to-late Second Realm, with a few in the early Third Realm.
The two martial practitioners' Divine Soul powers were much stronger than He Lianxiu's, allowing them to detect and surround the group early.
He Lianxiu wasn't worried about the soldiers or the man in the mid-stage of the Third Realm. What concerned her were the two mid-stage Fourth Realm martial practitioners.
These two were beyond what they could handle.
She quickly took out a Sound Transmission Talisman to call for help from Yu Xiaofeng.
"Hey, girl, which unit are you with? How did you end up here?" the man asked.
"Why do you care? Do you own these mountains?" He Lianxiu shot back.
"Oh, feisty, aren't you?" the man chuckled.
He continued, "These mountains aren't mine. But this is the border garrison's territory. We're in charge here!"
"So what? We're from the Western Region's army, too. If you can be here, so can we!" He Lianxiu tried to buy so ti.
The young man snickered, "Who can prove you're from the Western Region? Who knows if you're spies from the South?"
"And how do you plan to prove that?" He Lianxiu asked.
"Drop your weapons and co with us for an investigation. We'll let you go once we confirm your identity," he said casually.
"Why should we drop our weapons? Maybe you're the spy here!" He Lianxiu wasn't buying it.
"You've got so nerve! This is ng Changxing, the garrison commander's son! How dare you call him a spy? You're digging your own grave!" the captain snapped.
"Easy there, don't startle her." ng Changxing interrupted him, flashing a grin as he turned to He Lianxiu, "Tell you what, I've got my eye on you. Co with , and I'll make sure you live comfortably."
"In your dreams! Do you think you can win over soone like ?" He Lianxiu looked at him disdainfully.
"Ha, think you can refuse ?" ng Changxing sneered. "Think twice. Either your n die here, or you co with willingly."
He Lianxiu glanced at the golden-armored soldiers and dismissed them with a mock, "You think these guys can take us down?"
Knowing a fight was inevitable, He Lianxiu taunted the soldiers, hoping to provoke them into making the first move and buy ti for Yu Xiaofeng to arrive.
anwhile, Yu Xiaofeng and Xiao Yunfang, along with two squads of soldiers, were rushing to their location.
But with the dense forest and mountains, it would take so ti for them to get there, despite Helian Xiu having a rough idea of their position.
"Sir, let us tal Guards handle these pests," the captain requested indignantly.
"Alright then! Since they look down on you, show them what you've got. But leave the won alive!"
"Yes, sir!" the captain replied before ordering his soldiers to charge.
The golden-armored soldiers were no pushovers, with their third-tier equipnt and weapons on par with He Lianxiu's n. They were elite troops of the garrison.
Despite their prowess, they were no match for Helian Xiu's troops' battle formation.
As the soldiers charged, over thirty of them were taken down by He Lianxiu's team in a flash. Her group then launched a counterattack, wiping out half of the hundred-plus soldiers in monts and scattering to hunt down the rest.
He Lianxiu seized the opportunity to absorb the Divine Souls of a few soldiers.
"Well, well! Looks like you've got so skills! Even the elite tal Guards couldn't stand against you!" ng Changxing exclaid, shocked at how his strongest soldiers were being decimated.
He began to worry about the background of these invaders.
But now that they had started the fight, ng Changxing couldn't let them escape.
"What are you two standing around for? Get in there!" he barked at the two mid-level martial practitioners behind him.
"If you don't act now, all our tal Guards will be wiped out!"
But the two martial practitioners didn't respond.
"What the hell is wrong with you two?" ng Changxing turned angrily towards them.
He noticed that both practitioners stood still, staring blankly ahead.
"Huh? Are they dead?" ng Changxing used his Divine Sense to check their vitals and confirm that the two martial practitioners were indeed dead.
He pushed them slightly, and the two collapsed to the ground.
Examining the bodies hastily, ng Changxing found one had a stab wound in the heart, while the other had no visible injuries.
By then, Helian Xiu and her team had finished off the tal Guards, including their captain.
"Captain, you and the female soldiers should retreat for now! We'll cover you!" one of the male soldiers suggested.
"There's no way I'm letting you die for . I'm the captain. Besides, with those mid-fourth-level practitioners around, we can't escape even if we try. If we get captured, rember to give us a swift end!"
Helian Xiu said and drew her blade. She rallied her soldiers and charged back into the fight.
When they returned, they saw ng Changxing inspecting the wounds of the two fallen practitioners.
He Lianxiu was even more determined not to let ng Changxing escape upon witnessing those powerful guys defeated.
There was no ti to figure out how those martial practitioners had died. He Lianxiu quickly gathered her n and surrounded ng Changxing.
ng Changxing finally realized what was happening and knew there was no way to escape.
"I'm the garrison commander's son! If you kill , you won't get away with it either!" ng Changxing tried to use his father's position as a shield.
"Kill him!" He Lianxiu ordered her soldiers to attack without hesitation.
Even though ng Changxing was at the mid-stage of the third realm, he couldn't fend off attacks from all sides and got stabbed a few tis.
But his protective gear was a high-grade Divine Weapon, so the stabs barely scratched him.
"You can't kill anyway. How about I leave you my Interspatial Ring and you let go?" ng Changxing tried negotiating with He Lianxiu.
"Hmph, there's no way your protective garnt is invincible! Keep attacking!" He Lianxiu remained unmoved.
ng Changxing was getting desperate, realizing he wouldn't last much longer at this rate.
"I must take out the leader!" With that in mind, he released his Divine Soul and sent it into He Lianxiu's Ocean of Consciousness.
At the sa ti, his clone did the sa and followed him into He Lianxiu's Ocean of Consciousness.
