This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

The Heavenly Soldier Talisman descended, and physical strength, power, and even magical power surged in that instant.

This is a Heavenly Soldier Talisman personally drawn by Li Daoxuan. With Wang Jingshu's cultivation level, if she used it at her peak, she would be invincible below the sixth realm, and could also sustain herself for a period of time above the sixth realm.

However, at this time, Wang Jingshu was greatly exhausted and lost a lot of blood and energy, so she could not fully exert the power of the Heavenly Soldier Talisman.

Even so, it's enough for him to fight a fifth-level minor grandmaster.

The bandit leader missed his target and leaped off his horse.

He fired a shot while in mid-air.

In an instant, countless gunshots rained down from the sky, their force terrifying.

Wang Jingshu was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, not yet having gotten up.

He pushed Ye San Niang away with one palm and swung his sword.

Sword energy erupted, shattering the countless spear shadows in an instant.

The bandit leader, who was charging at them, was startled and immediately held his spear in front of him to block.

"clang..."

With a deafening roar, a terrifying force swept over, sending the bandit leader flying.

Even the high-quality spear in his hand was split in two.

A crack appeared in his armor, and blood was faintly seeping out.

If it weren't for the triple protection of his spear, armor, and protective inner energy, he would probably have already died from this sword strike.

Although he didn't understand why Wang Jingshu's strength had suddenly increased so much, he knew that he was no longer a match for her.

Without the slightest hesitation, the bandit leader turned and fled.

Seeing this, Wang Jingshu quickly said to Ye Sanniang:

"Third Sister, tell Lord Ye to wait for my return..."

After saying that, Wang Jingshu leaped up and chased after him.

When the bandit leader saw Wang Jingshu chasing after him, he turned around and struck her with his palm. The fine warhorse was sent flying by his palm and crashed into Wang Jingshu.

Wang Jingshu hadn't expected her opponent to have such a skill, and instinctively reached for her sword.

But a pang of pity struck him, so he stopped and reached out to support the warhorse, ensuring it landed safely and didn't lose its life.

When they got up to chase after the bandit leader, they found that he had already run far away, heading into the deep mountains behind the stronghold.

Wang Jingshu was unwilling to let go of such a powerful and ruthless bandit, so she continued to chase after him.

The two of them then ventured into the deep mountains, one after the other.

Wang Jingshu was somewhat anxious; the Heavenly Soldier Talisman definitely couldn't sustain her current physical condition for long.

Once the Heavenly Soldier Talisman's effects wear off, she'll likely be the one to die.

Thinking of this, Wang Jingshu reached into her waist pouch and took out another talisman.

This is a Swift Travel Talisman, crafted by the eldest disciple.

Although using other talismans while using the Heavenly Soldier Talisman would increase its consumption, Wang Jingshu still readily recited the incantation.

The moment the Swiftness Talisman burned out, her speed suddenly increased dramatically.

They almost turned into afterimages, closing the distance between them in just a few breaths.

"Don't leave..."

Wang Jingshu shouted and raised her hand to strike with her sword.

The sword energy erupted and arrived in an instant.

The bandit leader barely dodged to the side, his heart filled with terror.

What made him even more desperate was that a cliff suddenly appeared in front of him, and running down it would be a dead end.

The bandit instinctively slowed down, but Wang Jingshu instantly flew over his head and blocked his way.

He pointed his longsword at him and said sternly:

"Stop right there, or you'll be killed..."

The bandit leader paused, his eyes darting towards Wang Jingshu, whose face was stunningly beautiful and whose eyes were clear. A thought struck him, and he knelt down without hesitation, kowtowing repeatedly:

"Heroine, spare my life! Heroine, spare my life! I'm willing to surrender..."

Wang Jingshu was stunned when she saw this, and her brain didn't react for a moment.

The bandits who were killing without blinking an eye just moments ago were now kneeling before him, begging for mercy.

However, although Wang Jingshu is young, she is by no means ignorant.

The bandit leader had already committed a capital offense by killing so many government soldiers.

She couldn't actually forgive him just because he begged for mercy.

"You're lying. You've killed so many people; you deserve to die. I can't forgive you..."

He was about to make his move after saying that.

The bandit leader immediately said in a tearful voice:

"Heroine, spare my life! I had no choice but to do this to protect myself..."

As he spoke, he looked up and his face was already covered in tears.

Wang Jingshu had never seen such a situation before. A seven-foot-tall man, a Grand Martial Master at the peak of the Fourth Realm, was crying his eyes out in front of her, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

"Why...why are you crying? A real man should just accept death..."

To everyone's surprise, the bandit leader cried even harder after hearing her say that.

"My lady, you may not know this, but I was originally a deputy general in a border town in the western part of the Great Zhao Kingdom. I served in the border army for more than ten years and have a lot of military achievements."

"But in the end, the powerful and wealthy took away my beloved wife, killed my children, and wiped out my family."

"In a fit of rage, I killed my enemies and then led a group of brothers to hide in these deep mountains and become outlaws."

"It's all the fault of those powerful people; they forced me to become a bandit."

"If it weren't for them, how could I have ended up like this?"

"Please, merciful heroine, spare my life. I am willing to submit to your command and protect our land and its people."

Seeing his earnestness, Wang Jingshu couldn't help but hesitate.

Master said that it is easy to kill an evil person, but difficult to convert an evil person.

But if one can truly convert an evil person, the merit is far greater than killing an evil person.

Thinking of this, Wang Jingshu said to the bandit leader:

"Alright, since that's the case, then you should cripple your martial arts and come back with me so that Lord Ye can make a decision."

The bandit leader was taken aback upon hearing this, and was clearly hesitant.

Wang Jingshu had no suspicions and even explained to him:

"Don't worry, our Taoist sect has supreme cultivation methods. If you can sincerely repent and do good deeds in the future, my master will definitely help you repair your meridians and help you reach a higher level..."

The bandit leader pursed his lips and nodded emphatically.

His eyes were full of gratitude as he said:

"Alright, in that case, I will follow your orders, heroine..."

After saying that, his internal energy began to circulate wildly, and he slowly raised his hands, his palms filled with powerful martial arts energy.

Just when Wang Jingshu thought he was really going to destroy her dantian with one palm, the bandit leader kneeling on the ground suddenly jumped up.

The palm strike, which had been gathering power for a long time, came straight at Wang Jingshu.

The bandit leader's eyes were filled with madness as he roared:

"You want me to cripple my martial arts? Dream on..."

Just as the palm strike was about to land, Wang Jingshu seemed to have no time to react.

The bandit leader was overjoyed. This little girl had too little experience in the ways of the world; she could be easily coaxed into submission with just a few sweet words.

Even with immense strength and extraordinary talent, one can still die by their own hand...

Just when he thought his palm strike would definitely succeed, he didn't notice a sword light coming from behind him at an even faster speed, piercing straight through his chest.

The look of surprise on Wang Jingshu's face instantly vanished, replaced by a cold expression.

Wang Jingshu raised both palms, her internal strength already fully accumulated, and directly clashed with the bandit leader, whose chest had been pierced but whose offensive momentum did not diminish.

"boom...."

A powerful burst of energy erupted in all directions, and the bandit leader's face was filled with disbelief as he was blasted away like a cannonball.

It crashed into a nearby rock, cracking the rock, which was as big as a house.

Wang Jingshu raised her hand and the sword stuck in his chest flew back into her hand in an instant. With a flick of her wrist, the last drop of blood slid off, and the longsword remained as clean and new as ever, without a trace of dirt.

The bandit leader, slumped on the ground, pointed at Wang Jingshu with a resentful expression, and with his last breath roared:

"You...you...you're playing me..."

Wang Jingshu's gaze was cold, and she snorted:

"Hmph...you almost killed Third Sister and murdered so many innocent people, how could I forgive you?"

The bandit leader was filled with remorse, but it was all too late. He could only breathe his last with a heart full of resentment.

Wang Jingshu stepped forward, suppressing her nausea, and beheaded the other person with a single sword stroke. She was about to return when...

But after glancing at the bandit leader's corpse and then at the gloomy forest around him, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"No, you're so full of resentment, don't let yourself turn into a vengeful ghost..."

Thinking of this, Wang Jingshu took out a talisman from her waist pouch and threw it out, which landed on the bandit leader.

In an instant, it turned to ashes.

In this way, even if the bandit leader's soul survives due to resentment, it will be directly suppressed by the talisman and scattered, leaving him no chance of becoming a vengeful ghost or even being reborn.

After finishing these tasks, Wang Jingshu clapped her hands and smiled with satisfaction:

"Alright, there's no more trouble now..."

Having said that, he hopped away from the place, carrying the bandit leader's head with him.
