Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The smoke was thick, and it was almost impossible to see clearly.

The soldiers from Nanyue covered their mouths and noses, coughing loudly.

Yu Yunxi, on the other hand, had the foresight to get her people to wet cloth strips in advance and tie them around their mouths and noses. This way, they would be able to reduce the damage caused by smoke inhalation.

Although it was chaotic, it did not take long for Nan Xun to notice Yu Yunxi. “Yu Yunxi, it’s really you! You actually came to seek death!”

As soon as Nan Xun’s voice fell, he brandished the saber in his hand and rushed toward Yu Yunxi. It was obvious that he hated her to the core.

“County Princess, watch out!” Ying Siyuan cried out anxiously as he stood in front of Yu Yunxi to fight Nan Xun. However, he was defeated after twenty moves.

Just as Nan Xun’s saber was about to land on Ying Siyuan’s head, a silver needle flew out from Yu Yunxi’s hand toward Nan Xun.

However, Nan Xun had already expected this so he dodged it easily. He looked at Yu Yunxi contemptuously as he said, “You’re too soft. You only know how to use embroidery needles. Since you came today, I won’t let you go!”

Nan Xun flew toward Yu Yunxi again.

Yu Yunxi raised her sword as her eyes glinted coldly under the moonlight.

The sword and the saber collided, and sparks flew in all directions.

Ying Siyuan was right. Their number was too small. Even with the thick smoke as cover, it was difficult to defeat the people from Nanyue.

“Yu Yunxl, I don’t know It you’re Ignorant or Just overconfident. you came nere to rescue your general, but you only brought so few people. Aren’t you just seeking death? Do you think you can stop me by lighting a fire on the mountain and creating thick smoke? Idiot!” Nan Xun said mockingly as he brought his saber down on Yu Yunxi.

Losing to Xinan back then was the greatest humiliation of Nan Xun’s life. When he saw Yu Yunxi again, he could not wait to humiliate her and skin her alive.

“So you’re aware of my plan,” Yu Yunxi said, blocking his attack. However, his strength was too great, and she stumbled a few steps back, barely able to stabilize her footing.

“I’ve already said that Xinan is trash for letting a sickly man and a woman lead the war. What a joke. Do you think your little schemes are smart?” Nan Xun said with a scoff.

Nan Xun laughed wildly, and the scar on his face made him look even more sinister as he continued to humiliate Yu Yunxi.

“No matter how bad we are, we still defeated Nanyue before. By insulting us, you’re also insulting Nanyue,” Yu Yunxi retorted lightly.

Her words hit Nan Xun’s sore spot.

“You b*tch, I’m going to kill you!”

However, when Nan Xun mobilized his internal energy, he felt a pang of excruciating pain in his heart. He staggered and almost lost his grip on his saber.

It was not just Nan Xun. The soldiers from Nanyue were also like him.

“No! The smoke is poisonous!” Nan Xun shouted.

“Now it’s time for me to retaliate,” Yu Yunxi said flatly. She wielded her sword swiftly, and it was difficult to capture her movements. In just a moment, she stabbed Nan Xun’s shoulder.

Nan Xun’s guards rushed over to protect him immediately.

“Get out of my way!” Nan Xun roared angrily. His internal energy fluctuated greatly at this moment, causing dark blood to seep out from the corners of his mouth.

Yu Yunxi also coughed up a mouthful of blood when she was hit by his internal energy. She raised her head and looked at Nan Xun in shock.

‘It’s only been two years. How did his internal energy become so powerful?! It’s as though he’s a different person. He can actually use his internal energy to force out the poison in his body! How many people in the world are capable of this?!

Ying Siyuan was also affected by Nan Xun’s internal energy. He walked over to Yu Yunxi’s side with great difficulty and asked worriedly, “County Princess, are you alright?”

Yu Yunxi wiped the blood from her mouth and ignored the fishy taste in her mouth. She endured the pain in her stomach and said hoarsely, “The soldiers from Nanyue don’t have much offensive power left. Only Nan Xun is unaffected. Take our people and act according to the situation. If I fall into a disadvantageous position, quickly retreat with our men!”

It was better for her to be in danger alone than to have everyone be in danger.

“County Princess!” Ying Siyuan was anxious when he heard those words.

Yu Yunxi pushed Ying Siyuan away with her internal energy and continued to fend off Nan Xun’s attacks. Her insides felt as though they were going to split open, but she held on.

“It’s only been two years since we last met, but it seems like Crown Prince Nan has cultivated some evil technique. You actually improved,” Yu Yunxi said mockingly. She did not want Nan Xun to know that she was barely holding on so she kept mocking him as she defended against his attacks.

Nan Xun scoffed. “No matter what technique I cultivated, you can’t compare to me. Die!”

Nan Xun’s attacks became even more ruthless than before.

Yu Yunxi could only dodge to the best of her ability, and it was extremely difficult for her. Her plan was very good. It was just that she did not expect Nan Xun’s internal energy had become so powerful that ordinary poisons were now useless against him. She had asked Qian Ji to poison the smoke earlier, but she still failed to deal with Nan Xun.

Seeing that Yu Yunxi was still holding on, Nan Xun said with a sneer, “You’re just a cornered beast now. I want to see how long you can last.”

Yu Yunxi was once again forced to retreat by Nan Xun’s attack. Her eyes glinted coldly as she thought to herself, ‘It should be about time…’

Suddenly, Yu Yunxi shouted loudly, “Ying Siyuan, retreat with our people!”

She shouted so loudly that her voice broke.

“County Princess, I…”

“This is a military order!” Yu Yunxi did not give Ying Siyuan a chance to protest.

Ying Siyuan clenched his hands tightly. In the end, he gritted his teeth and cried out, “Retreat!”

The soldiers from Nanyue had lost their combat strength so no one could stop them from leaving. They quickly retreated.

Nan Xun was not interested in Ying Siyuan in the others since he did not think they could not cause much trouble. Like a victor, he kept humiliating Yu Yunxi, saying, “Only cowards would run away. Is it worth it, Yu Yunxi? You bet your life to save Han Na, but in the end, both of you will die here!”

At this time, Yu Yunxi looked up with a mocking expression on her face. She asked slowly, “Do you really think I’ll lose?”

‘What do you mean?” Nan Xun narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, Yu Yunxi snapped her fingers and cried out, “Little White!” Following that, a majestic white tiger leaped over at lightning speed.

‘Where did this tiger come from? Did it come out from Lucky Moon Valley?

Wait…’

At this moment, Nan Xun finally sensed that something was amiss. He asked through gritted teeth, “You’ve already rescued Han Na?”

“That’s right. This isn’t the only way to leave Lucky Moon Valley,” Yu Yunxi said expressionlessly as she stroked Little White’s fur.

The poison, the smoke, and Little White were all important in her rescue mission.

“Even if I can’t kill Han Na, it’s still worth it for me to kill you. Do you really think you’re a match for me just because you have a tiger to help you?” Nan

Xun asked darkly.

“What if she has me?”

A cold voice suddenly said before a tall figure slowly walked out from the smoke..
