The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

"The number of wounded is decreasing."

"It seems the demons outside the city have been almost completely eliminated."

The following evening, Li Yunqing sat on a chair beside the medicine furnace, her eyes shimmering with tears and a gentle, shimmering light, as she looked at the surrounding city walls.

The sounds of fighting subsided by noon.

More often, you see the young and strong men and craftsmen cleaning and repairing the city walls.

"After today, we should be able to go back."

"I will break through to the Qi Realm tonight."

As she thought this, the panel in front of her appeared silently.

"I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't been able to practice swordsmanship, movement techniques, or finger techniques."

After glancing at the panel, Li Yunqing's eyes were full of anticipation.

Two months to reach the initial stage of perfection, once you break through, you will directly enter the middle stage of the Qi Realm.

She was eager to know how her strength would change after the breakthrough.

"And those spells, once you have magical power, you can practice them."

The Five Elements Manual records many Five Elements spells, none of which are particularly profound, but they are definitely sufficient.

However, while many of the spells in the Medicine King Scripture are profound, they are mostly wood-based spells.

"Little doctor, I'm here again."

Just as Li Yunqing was examining the spell, a voice rang out from not far away.

Li Yunqing looked up and saw five figures carrying the Sixth Prince, arriving quickly.

"One less person than yesterday?"

"Could he be dead?"

Thoughts raced through her mind as she looked at the Sixth Prince.

His body was still covered in blood, but his aura was much stronger than yesterday, and his true energy was exuding a sense of perfection.

"Perfect Qi Realm? He broke through!"

"He looks only in his early twenties, yet he's already reached the Qi Realm Perfection stage. Is this what royalty is like?"

Li Yunqing felt a pang of emotion.

Her older brother, Li Shuo, was also twenty years old and had not yet broken through to the Qi Realm.

Even Jiang Yu, whom the Jiang family head always praised as having the potential to become a supreme grandmaster, is still one step away from reaching the Qi Realm.

Aside from talent, the only remaining difference is the gap in resources.

Thinking of the countless wounds on the Sixth Prince's body, she knew that with resources, he could fight desperately, even more desperately than she could.

It's not too surprising that they have such strength.

"Moreover, the royal family probably has better body-tempering pills."

Li Yunqing had a guess in her mind, and pointed to the wooden bed next to her, saying, "Please sit down."

After saying that, she got up, picked up her needle pouch, walked behind the Sixth Prince, and examined the wounds on his body.

The injuries today are much lighter than yesterday's, but there are still three rolls of flesh on my back.

It felt like being torn apart by sharp wolf claws.

Without asking any questions, she used silver needles to press on the meridians and acupoints to stop the pain, and then began to clean and suture the wound.

By the time the medicine was applied, it had been about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"Alright, you can go back and rest now."

Li Yunqing spoke softly, putting away the silver needles. Just as she was about to turn around, Yu Xuanfeng suddenly asked, "Is there anything you want?"

His tone was as gentle as ever, and he smiled as he continued, "After tomorrow, all the demons will be wiped out. I am deeply grateful for your help on so many occasions."

"No."

Li Yunqing whispered, "It's just a doctor's duty."

"Moreover, if we are to express our gratitude, we should thank the soldiers who defended Qingzhou City."

"They risked their lives to ensure the peace and tranquility of Qingzhou."

Although the sixth prince did not show the slightest abnormality from beginning to end.

But she still didn't want to get too entangled.

A man's nature is there, no matter how calm and composed he may appear.

It's just that they are well-mannered, have hidden their true feelings deeply, and are restrained enough, or perhaps they have other goals in their hearts that are far above women and romantic love.

But once desire takes hold, he ends up no different from any other man.

If you can avoid provoking others, then don't.

It wasn't that she was afraid, but rather that she loathed trouble.

But living in this world, unless you never go out or communicate for your entire life, you are destined to encounter all sorts of things and troubles.

Less is better.

"Are you sure you don't want it?"

Yu Xuanfeng smiled as he looked at Li Yunqing, who remained quiet and gentle throughout, and a mischievous thought suddenly arose in his mind.

"If she knew I was the sixth prince, would she regret it?"

"Hmm, we can gather everyone tomorrow, announce something, and see how she reacts?"

Thinking of this, Yu Xuanfeng said, "There's only one chance. If you miss it, it's gone forever. Don't regret it."

Li Yunqing looked up in surprise. When did the Sixth Prince become so long-winded?

However, she still said with absolute certainty, "I appreciate the sentiment, but nothing more."

As she spoke, she began packing her things, preparing to go back.

For her now, the most important thing is to break through to the Qi Realm and then annul the engagement; everything else is secondary.

"I hope you'll say the same thing tomorrow."

Yu Xuanfeng smiled, a thought flashing through his mind as he looked at Li Yunqing, before getting up and walking out of the wounded soldiers' camp.

As soon as he stepped outside, a figure quickly walked up to him. It was the person who had been ordered to inquire about the female doctor last night.

"Your Highness, we have investigated thoroughly!"

The newcomer bowed, glanced around, and then said, "Li Yunqing, daughter of the Li family of Qingzhou."

"He entered the Mingyu Martial Arts School to learn martial arts and became engaged to the Jiang family."

"She is known as the most beautiful woman in Qingzhou. She is a disciple of the legendary healer, Granny Gui. It is said that she has a remarkable talent for medicine and mastered Granny Gui's true teachings in just two or three days."

"Some time ago, he even saved the Sword Saint's life with his medical skills."

"Moreover, I've heard that he was valued by the Sword Saint, condensed a sword heart, possessed innate sword bones, and had astonishing talent in swordsmanship..."

"boom!"

Just as I was saying this, a loud roar suddenly resounded in the distant sky.

The next moment, a loud shout resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Sword Ten!"

As the sound faded, the evening sky seemed to instantly transform into midday, with light shining brightly across the heavens and earth.

Everyone in Qingzhou City instinctively looked up at the sky.

"That is..."

Looking at the scene above the sky, everyone was breathless.

A giant sword, a massive light sword the size of a mountain range, seemingly cast from crystal.

It radiated a dazzling sword light, stretching across the sky and earth like a blazing sun.

Beneath that giant sword stood a figure standing upright—it was the Sword Saint.

At this moment, the Sword Saint was bursting with sword energy, his aura was astonishing.

His right hand was raised high, as if he were gripping the huge lightsaber tightly.

Then it cleaved straight down.

"Sizzle..."

The entire world seemed to be torn apart by a giant sword of light, carrying astonishing power as it slashed straight at the three-headed demon king.

Extremely fast.

"Boom..."

With a deafening roar, the giant sword slashed through the air, tearing the three-headed demon king's body apart, and blood instantly stained the sky crimson.

But the crimson sky was instantly cleaved in two by the sharp edge of the giant sword.

Even more terrifying, after slaying the three-headed demon king, the giant sword continued to shoot rapidly into the sky.

It disappeared straight into the clouds.

"boom!"

The clouds burst open, and the entire sky seemed to have been ripped open with a huge gash.

Endless light burst forth from that opening.

It seemed as if the opening in the sky was connecting to a world full of light.

"This swordsmanship..."

The sixth prince's eyes widened slightly, his face filled with disbelief, and he stood frozen in place.

It was as if I had witnessed something utterly unbelievable.

That sword strike was terrifying.

Like a celestial sword sweeping across the sky, its sharpness astonishing, tearing everything apart.

The three-headed demon king was killed without any resistance, and the clouds and sky were torn apart by the sword energy.

It carries an astonishing aura of being invincible and capable of destroying anything.

"What did you just say?"

The sixth prince kept his eyes fixed on the sky and spoke instinctively.

The guard beside her snapped back to reality and stammered, "Miss Li... Miss Li is also valued by the Sword Saint, has condensed a sword heart, possesses innate sword bones, and has astonishing talent in swordsmanship..."

"No, the previous sentence!"

The guard paused, then quickly replied, "Miss Li saved the Sword Saint's life some time ago with her medical skills."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xuanfeng murmured, "Given the life-saving grace, do you think the Sword Saint of Cangshan would lend a hand to me even once?"

"Make a crucial move at the right moment."

"Give him some more time, given his swordsmanship skills."

"Beneath the realm of gods, who can stand against us?"
