Princess Moon's eyes blazed with fury as she lunged at Li Xian, her graceful movements transforming into a torrent of aggression. Her voice, laced with anger, cut through the chaos of the battle as she shouted, "You treacherous scum! How dare you betray our family and slay my brother?"
In her anger, she unleashed her hidden strength, which was no longer concealed. Asura, who had been observing Princess Moon, compared himself to her and realized that her hidden strength made her as powerful as him when he tapped into his own hidden strength. However, the crucial difference was that Asura was three stages below in cultivation level compared to Princess Moon, yet he could produce the same level of strength that Princess Moon was currently generating.
Su Lin, who had never seen Princess Moon so furious and filled with this much killing intent, turned to Asura and asked, "Should we help her?"
Asura replied, "No, this is her battle. If we interfere, she might become angry with us later."
Su Lin asked again, "What should we do now?"
Asura responded, "Let's aid the other princes and princesses. They won't be able to hold on much longer, and if we don't help them now, they may not survive. But first, let's wait a little to see if Princess Moon can deal with him alone."
Princess Moon took out her spiritual sword. Princess Moon's spiritual sword was a magnificent masterpiece of craftsmanship. It was not only a powerful weapon but also a symbol of her noble lineage and refined taste. Its exquisite design and sharpness made it stand out as a unique and formidable blade on the battlefield.
The sword's hilt was adorned with precious materials, including a handle made from polished ivory inlaid with delicate, intricate patterns of gold and gemstones. The crossguard was intricately designed with intricate filigree work that shimmered in the light. The pommel featured a rare and flawless gemstone that glistened like a star in the night sky, casting a gentle glow around it.
The blade itself was a work of art, forged from the finest materials. It was exceptionally sharp, with a mirror-like finish that reflected the surroundings. The spiritual metal, honed to perfection, allowed for exceptional balance and control in Princess Moon's hands.
The sword also had a name, and that name was "Phoenix Sword." Princess Moon swung her sword.
Li Xian met her attack with a calm and calculated demeanor, drawing his sword in a fluid motion. His gaze locked onto hers as he mockingly said, "Your brother's loyalty to the kingdom was misguided, just like yours, Princess. I am here to save the kingdom from a corrupt Royal family."
Their swords clashed with a resounding force, sending sparks flying in all directions. The tension in the air was palpable, as the people of both sides who were present there momentarily ceased their battle to watch the clash between Princess Moon and Li Xian.
Princess Moon's strikes were fast and precise, but Li Xian parried each one effortlessly. His movements were efficient, and he countered her attacks with the skill of a seasoned warrior. With a deceptive flick of his blade, he aimed a strike at her shoulder, but Princess Moon managed to block it just in time.
Their blades locked, and Li Xian's eyes bore into hers with an intensity that sent shivers down her spine. "You have potential, Princess," he said with a sardonic smile. "But potential alone won't save your family."
Princess Moon gritted her teeth, pushing Li Xian back with a burst of her energy. She was determined to avenge her brother's death and protect her remaining family members. "I'll make you pay for your treachery," she hissed.
Li Xian's response was a swift and devastating series of attacks, his sword dancing through the air with deadly precision. Princess Moon fought valiantly, deflecting his strikes with a mix of agility and raw power. Their battle raged on, moving through the grand corridors of the palace, the clashes of swords and the sparks of their confrontation echoing through the hallowed halls.
As they fought, Princess Moon couldn't help but think back to the moments when she believed Li Xian was a loyal subject and a trusted man of her father. The sense of betrayal fueled her determination to defeat him. She had to prove that her family's rule was just and that her brother's loyalty had not been in vain.
Their intense duel continued, each move more desperate and calculated than the last. Princess Moon, with her newfound strength and unyielding resolve, pushed Li Xian to his limits. But Li Xian, an experienced warrior and strategist, fought with a cold determination and cunning that made him a formidable adversary.
In the midst of their ferocious battle, their words exchanged like sharp swords. Li Xian taunted, "You think you can stop the inevitable, Princess? The high noble families have grown tired of your family's rule. It's time for a new era."
Princess Moon's voice held a mix of anger and sadness as she responded, "The future you're striving for will be built on treachery and bloodshed. I won't let that happen."
After saying that, a golden flame erupted from her body, and her strength increased once more, causing Li Xian to quickly fall into a disadvantaged state.
Su Lin, who had been observing all of this, asked, "Has she completely unleashed her hidden strength, or can she increase it even further?"
Asura replied, "For now, she is truly going all out. I'm surprised because previously, I thought she was giving it her all, but she can still increase her strength."
Seeing that Princess Moon had gained the upper hand and was on the verge of defeating Li Xian, Asura looked at Su Lin and said, "Let's go."
Asura and Su Lin rushed to aid the princes and princesses, as well as the royal knights who could no longer hold the line.
