My Arrogant Young Lady

Upon hearing Li Bihui's words, Oda Seiji and the six Heavenly Demons simultaneously revealed eerie smiles. Li Zaijian, Qinglong, Baihu, and Xuanwu were all from Aurora; Li Zaijian was Li Bihui's father, and Qinglong, Baihu, and Xuanwu were her family's retainers. However, the six Heavenly Demons were Oda Seiji's most loyal confidants, and they would never betray him.

Seeing that Li Bihui had already admitted to betraying Oda Seiji, Heitendo secretly drew his sword and couldn't help but kill Li Bihui at that moment.

Li Zaijian knew best what kind of strength Oda Seiji possessed. He had just noticed the strange smile on Oda Seiji's face when he strode over to pull his daughter away.

But as he approached Li Bihui, she immediately pointed the cannon in her hand at him and said, "Father, don't come any closer!"

"Hui'er, you actually pointed a cannon at me?" Li Zaijian was surprised as he looked at the dark cannon barrel.

"Father, I hope you can stand by my side, support me, and fight against Oda Seiji with me." Li Bihui shielded us with her body and looked earnestly at Li Zaijian as she spoke.

"You...you hope I can help you fight against the Heavenly Demon King?" Li Zaijian's heart ached. He hadn't expected his daughter to become like this after just one trip to Pearl City, turning into someone like Zhuque.

Suzaku's real name is Lee Tae-hee, the daughter of Lee Jae-geon's deceased elder brother. She betrayed Oda Seiji and was originally supposed to be executed by him, but Oda Seiji spared her life because Lee Jae-geon pleaded for her. However, Oda Seiji still beat Suzaku severely and tried to cripple her martial arts.

And now, it is his only daughter who has betrayed Oda Seiji. Li Bihui is intelligent and talented, and Li Zaijian loves his precious daughter dearly. He knows that Li Bihui is no match for Oda Seiji. He is very anxious now, fearing that his daughter will suffer even the slightest harm because of her betrayal. Even if she isn't killed by Oda Seiji, Li Zaijian would be heartbroken if she suffered even the slightest physical pain.

After Li Bihui went to Mingzhu City, things changed. Li Zaijian thought about it and vented all his anger on me.

Suddenly, he glared at me with hatred. Li Zaijian pulled out a pistol, pointed it at me, and said, "Wang Xi, it's you. You deceived Tai Xi with sweet words, and now you've deceived my daughter. You are no match for Lord Tianmo Wang, none of us are a match for Lord Tianmo Wang. You harmed Tai Xi, and now you've come to harm my daughter. I will kill you with my own hands to vent my hatred!"

I was shocked when Li Zaijian suddenly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at me.

In an instant, An Yao immediately stepped in front of me, her eyes cold and resolute as she stared at Li Zaijian. Li Bihui also quickly stepped in front of An Yao, shouting to Li Zaijian, "Father, I will not allow you to point a gun at my friend!"

"Your friends? They're your friends? Hui'er, how dare you point a cannon at me? Protect your so-called friends?" Li Zaijian exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, they are my friends who share the same dream as me. I’ve had enough of this life. I don’t want to be Oda Seiji’s weapon anymore. I want to defeat Oda Seiji!” Li Bihui shouted.

"Is that so?" Oda Seiji smiled after hearing Li Bihui's words.

When I saw the smile on Oda Seiji's face, I immediately felt a sense of foreboding. At the same time, I felt a sharp aura suddenly rushing towards us.

With his eyes widening instantly, Li Bihui felt the powerful aura approaching and immediately pulled the trigger of the cannon in his hand.

With a whoosh, a spark erupted from Li Bihui's shoulder, and at the same time, a cannonball from the cannon on her shoulder was fired fiercely at Oda Seiji.

Just then, he saw cannon fire heading towards him, and Oda Seiji instantly appeared out of thin air. He then used his hands to block the cannon fire from Li Bihui, retreating while maintaining a cold smile on his face.

After the cannon pushed Oda Seiji back more than ten steps, Oda Seiji pushed it into the sky with both hands. Immediately afterwards, a rocket streaked across the sky and exploded with a deafening sound.

At the same time, Oda Seiji appeared before Li Bihui once again. Just as Li Bihui dropped the cannon from her shoulder and prepared to draw her pistol, Oda Seiji swiftly grabbed her by the throat.

Lifting Li Bihui high in the air, Oda Seiji said with a cold laugh, "Traitor, die!"

"Let her go!" A sharp shout rang out, and a cold light swiftly pierced towards Oda Seiji's throat.

That was Tong Jia Ling'er's fast sword. Tong Jia Ling'er was already a master swordsman, and after learning Leng Yan's swordsmanship, her sword became even faster. A flash of cold light appeared, followed by a sharp chill piercing towards her throat.

Oda Seiji was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "What a fast sword." But even if Tong Jia Ling'er's sword was fast, even if she could compete with a master of the Heartbeat level, she was still no match for Oda Seiji, and her speed was still not as fast as his.

When Tong Jialing'er's sword energy pierced the skin of Oda Seiji's throat, Oda Seiji immediately released Li Bihui and retreated quickly. Tong Jialing'er's sword was agile; seeing Oda Seiji retreat, her sword followed suit and moved to meet him.

Without a disdainful sneer, Oda Seiji immediately drew his sword and swung it at Tong Jia Ling'er's swift sword. The instant Oda Seiji's sword clashed with Tong Jia Ling'er's swift sword, dazzling sparks immediately erupted between their weapons.

"Die!" With a cold laugh, Oda Seiji had just parried Tong Jialing'er's swift sword when a black light flashed out.

Sensing Oda Seiji's sharp sword aura, Tong Jia Ling'er thought for a moment and immediately swung a cold light at the black light, shouting, "Go to hell!"

In an instant, two sharp sword energies collided in the air. When the two sharp sword energies collided, the air itself seemed to distort at that moment.

Then, the two sharp sword energies shattered simultaneously, and the shattered sword energies flew towards the six great demons, the three great kings, the members of Aurora, and us.

This was the sword energy unleashed in a battle between two powerful individuals; ordinary people simply couldn't withstand the damage it caused. Even in the ancient town of Jiangnan, where Oda Seiji's army of god-level powerhouses was located, many of them still fell victim to it.

Oda Seiji was even more surprised that Tong Jia Ling'er could unleash sword energy comparable to his own. Of course, Oda Seiji only used 30% of his power against a master like Tong Jia Ling'er, while Tong Jia Ling'er used her full strength.

Seeing that Tong Jia Ling'er had actually blocked one of his sword energies, Oda Seiji couldn't help but show interest in his eyes.

"Not bad, you were able to withstand one of my sword strikes. But if I unleash a sword strike at half my strength, I wonder if you could withstand it?" Oda Seiji smiled.

"What!?" But after Tong Jialing'er had already used all her strength to block the sword energy that Oda Seiji had unleashed, she couldn't help but turn pale when she saw that Oda Seiji was about to unleash another sword energy.

If Oda Seiji were to unleash an even stronger sword strike, Tong Jia Ling'er would definitely be unable to withstand it.

However, just as Oda Seiji was about to unleash an even stronger sword strike, someone suddenly pulled Tong Jia Ling'er down from behind. Then, an extremely beautiful girl smiled, "Let me test your sword aura, shall I?"

"You?" Oda Seiji asked in surprise.

"A shower of flowers!" Smiling, the extremely beautiful girl suddenly began to twirl and dance, her long skirt billowing.

In an instant, countless sharp, cold rays of light erupted from the girl's body. Seeing the dense, innumerable beams of light shooting towards him and his men, Oda Seiji immediately realized the danger.

As Oda Seiji raised his sword, feeling countless cold glints striking it and sparks fly, he lowered it and discovered that the girl, Wang Xi, Li Bihui, and the others were gone. At that moment, the entire group of Aurora members surrounding the girl had fallen.

Seeing that she had run away with her entourage, Oda Seiji immediately said coldly, "That's Wang Che, the third daughter of the Wang family, after her!"

Chapter 376 Walking into a Trap

Panting heavily, I was pulled along by Wang Che's hand as we ran as fast as we could. We rushed into an inn and quickly jumped out of the back window, then ran along the path behind the inn. Through the inn, we heard a cacophony of hurried footsteps; Aurora's men were chasing us, and Oda Seiji was also searching for us with his six Heavenly Demons.

While pulling me along, Wang Che said, "That Oda Seiji is too strong. I used my ultimate move just now and it didn't even hurt him. We can't fight him. Father must bring the seniors of the martial arts world to deal with him. We need to run and get out of this town as soon as possible."

"I'm not dead?" Nie Xiaohai asked, his eyes wide with confusion as he lay on Tong Jialing'er's back.

“You’re not dead, we’re safe for now. Che’er. Quickly take me to rescue Wang Yu and Zhuque. I’ve already got Oda Seiji’s remote control. Li Zaijian, Qinglong, Baihu, and Xuanwu have clearly not joined us. Oda Seiji won’t hurt them, so we don’t need to worry about them. Rescue Wang Yu and Zhuque. Let’s get out of here quickly,” I said to Wang Che.

"Okay." After hearing my words, Wang Che mentally estimated our location, then quickly led us into an inn. Then we ran out through the main entrance of the inn.

However, as soon as we ran out of the inn, we saw Aurora's men lining both sides of the path outside. Leading them were two Star Constellation level experts under Azure Dragon and White Tiger. Upon seeing us, they immediately shouted, "The traitor is here! Kill them!"

"Screw you! I'm not a traitor! I've never been one of your people!" I had regained some strength by then, and when I saw the two of them calling me a traitor, I immediately cursed them.

As they drew their pistols and were about to shoot me, I waved my hand and immediately set up an array, "Three Talents Taiyi Array!"

With a wave of my hand, a mist instantly appeared in front of the two groups of Aurora's men. Trapped in the illusion, they watched us disappear before their eyes and immediately looked around in confusion.

Then, as if they had seen something, the two groups of people immediately started firing their pistols indiscriminately.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, we quickly slipped into the inn across the street. After running into the inn, Wang Che looked at me with surprise and said, "Brother, you're quite capable!"

"Of course, my title of being second to none in the world isn't just for show," I said.

In this martial arts tournament, I didn't have a chance to fight Oda Seiji. If we had, I certainly wouldn't have been a match for him. I would definitely have lost the duel with Oda Seiji. However, reaching the finals is already a remarkable achievement for me.

After all, the strength of Wang Huan, Nie Xiaohai, Wang Yu, Wang You, Li Bihui, Liuli, and Tong Jia Ling'er is no joke. If I were to encounter Wang Huan, Li Bihui, and Liuli at their peak, or even face Wang Yu in a one-on-one fight, the outcome would be uncertain.

I'd say it was a 50/50 chance of me being lucky. I was a little unlucky and ran into Nie Xiaohai and Li Bihui. If I had been even unlucky and run into Wang Yu or Wang You, I probably wouldn't have made it to the finals.

We passed through several more inns, and I used formations to control Aurora's subordinates each time. When we were only a hundred meters away from the inn where Suzaku and Wang Yu were being held, I suddenly saw Takeda Hell appear before me with a blank expression.

This Takeda Hell didn't say a single line; he simply drew his katana and swung it at us with a streak of black light.

Only then did we feel the sharp blade energy coming from the opposite side. Tong Jialing'er immediately rushed in front of us and swung a cold light at the blade. When Tong Jialing'er's blade energy collided fiercely with Takeda Hell's blade energy, Tong Jialing'er immediately took several steps back, only stopping when she bumped into my body. Takeda Hell, on the other hand, remained unmoved, a cruel smile on his face.

"This is bad. This Takeda Hell is a master of the Heartbeat level. Even in my prime, I might not be able to defeat him. And I already used up all my true energy in my fight with Oda Seiji. If he makes another move, I might be defeated outright." Standing in front of me, Tong Jialing'er said with a solemn expression.

"Behold my formation, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation!" Standing behind Tong Jia Ling'er, I thought for a moment and immediately activated the true energy within my body. Because I had just been ambushed and struck by Oda Seiji, I had almost no true energy left in my body.

However, in order to deal with Takeda's Hell, I still managed to set up a clumsy Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation with my remaining true energy.

In my prime, this formation might have been able to trap a master like Takeda Hell, a master of the Heart-Piercing Realm. Combined with my cultivation techniques and the cooperation of my King Serpent, I was confident I could defeat Takeda Hell. But right now, this ancient town in Jiangnan is guarded like an iron barrel by Oda Seiji's men. It's already a miracle that Li Bihui brought me in as one of Aurora's subordinates; I simply couldn't bring in a behemoth like the King Serpent. And I just had my sternum broken by Li Bihui, rendering me unable to use martial arts, and I was also ambushed by Oda Seiji, nearly killed.

I was about to set up a powerful formation to trap a super expert like Takeda Hell. But even with the will, I lacked the strength. Completely trapping Takeda Hell was simply impossible.

Just as I trapped Takeda Hell, I was plunged into the raging river from all sides. Takeda Hell merely smiled disdainfully, instantly recognizing the flaws in my hastily constructed and clumsy formation.

He gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands. Watching a massive water dragon rush towards him, he silently chanted something, and with a single strike, Takeda Hell cleaved the enormous water dragon and the surging river in two. The river receded completely, and the supposedly invincible Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation vanished from Takeda Hell's sight.

Seeing my deathly pale face, Takeda Hell said coldly, "Wang Xi, I've said it before, you're no match for me. If you could train diligently for another year, you might be qualified to be my opponent. But right now, you're not qualified."

I am capable of defeating Takeda Hell; I have formations, techniques, and the King Serpent. I could defeat him without even paying a heavy price. Yet now Takeda Hell is mocking me like this, which makes my heart clench and leaves me feeling utterly miserable.

I wanted to say something to Takeda Hell, but I was powerless to refute him. A true hero doesn't boast of past glories; a few days ago, I could indeed defeat Takeda Hell. But now I can't beat him, so what's the point of arguing with him?

But at that very moment, An Yao, standing beside me, smiled disdainfully. She took out a small remote control and lightly pressed the number 9. "My brother can't beat you, but I can."

"You can?" Upon hearing An Yao's words, Takeda Jigoku laughed disdainfully.

"3, 2, 1!" Just as the three numbers were counted, a huge explosion suddenly came from behind Takeda Hell. The explosion was very close to Takeda Hell, not far from us.

Before I could even react, An Yao had already swiftly pinned me to the ground, shielding me with her body. Then, a powerful blast of air crashed down on us.

Just as something exploded rapidly behind him, a massive blast of air crashed down on him. With no way to escape, Oda Hell was instantly blasted away by the blast and flew violently into the inn behind us.

“I’ve planted a lot of bombs in this entire ancient town in Jiangnan. I know exactly where they are. We need to hurry and rescue Wang Yu and Zhu Que, or it will be too late.” Pulling me and Wang Che up, An Yao carried Wang Huan on her back and ran quickly toward the inn where Wang Yu and Zhu Que were being held.

We ran as fast as we could. Our anxiety grew as we watched the Aurora henchmen closing in on us from all over the ancient town. Because Li Bihui was right beside us, the Aurora henchmen only pointed their guns at us briefly before quickly dropping their weapons. Then they charged at us with various weapons, including samurai swords and iron bars, attempting to subdue us without harming Li Bihui.

Without Li Bihui, we would certainly be badly injured or even dead by now. But because apart from Oda Seiji, the Six Heavenly Demons, and a few of their subordinates, over 90% of the inhabitants of this ancient city are from Aurora. They were unwilling to harm their young master, which is why we were spared.

But using only melee weapons, they were no match for us. Faced with their attack, Wang Che quickly repelled them with a single hidden weapon.

Next, we got closer and closer to the inn where Wang Yu and Zhu Que were being held. When we burst into the inn, we saw that the middle-aged men sitting next to Wang Yu and Zhu Que were all stunned.

"Kneel down." With a smile, the middle-aged man gently slashed Zhuque's short skirt with the knife in his hand.

"Oda Seiji!" I couldn't help but clench my fists, not expecting him to be waiting for me here.

"You'll definitely take them with you before you leave, won't you?" With a smile, Oda Seiji suddenly slashed Suzaku's fair leg with his sword.

"Oda Seiji!" With a roar, I knelt down in front of Oda Seiji with a thud.

"Wang Xi, don't worry about us, you go. Wang Yu and I are prepared to die, we don't need you to save us!" Blood continued to flow from her fair legs, and tears welled up in Zhuque's eyes.

"No, I can't do it..." Hearing Zhuque's words, my nose tingled and I couldn't help but feel an urge to cry.

"An Yao, Wang Che, you two go!" Although she wasn't very familiar with me, Wang Yu knew my personality. Gritting her teeth, Wang Yu didn't say anything more to me, but just looked at An Yao and Wang Che with a sharp gaze.

“Wang Yu, I won’t abandon you and Zhuque. Do you think we would abandon you and Zhuque?” With a smile, An Yao put down Wang Huan, whom she was carrying on her back.

Chapter 377 The Death of Prince Li

At that moment, Wang Huan, who had been put down by An Yao, opened his eyes and woke up. The children of the Wang family were all clever. He glanced at Oda Seiji sitting beside Wang Huan and Suzaku, then at us, who had laid down our weapons and chosen to give up resistance. Wang Huan couldn't help but smile. "Were we captured? It seems we were captured, weren't we?"

At this moment, apart from An Yao, Li Bihui, Wang Che, and Tong Jialing'er, who were unharmed, Wang Huan, Nie Xiaohai, and I were all incapacitated. Wang Yu and Zhu Que were even more helpless, their collarbones hooked by iron hooks, unable to muster any strength. Zhu Que was one of the top fighters in Aurora, and Wang Yu was a rare genius. They were like fish on a chopping board before Oda Seiji.

As Takeda Jigoku arrived, covered in blood and looking disheveled, Aurora's entire force surrounded us. Oda Seiji looked at his own disheveled state and smiled, saying, "Wang Yang's children are quite something. A decade ago, I only had one cunning enemy, Wang Yang. Now, I've encountered seven enemies as cunning as Wang Yang."

"Lord Heavenly Demon King, my daughter was ignorant, please spare her. Spare Tae-hee!" As Aurora's men rushed over, Li Zaijian ran out from the crowd and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Li Zaijian, how long have you been following me?" Holding his sword, Oda Seiji looked at him with a smile.

“It seems like it’s been fifteen years,” Li Zaijian said after thinking for a moment.
