Blue-lizard's lips twitched. He held onto himself and took several deep breaths as Zhi Rui walked closer.

He tremblingly pointed his finger, "HHaHa! laughable! You just cut down around thirty of your own men! you barely had a hundred, now you don't even have that! HAHAH! AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WINNING!?"

From raging laughter, he turned into pure anger.

Zhi Rui ignored him, she turned around and faced all her own soldiers.

"For those who want to surrender. you can't, if you walk in a slightly different way, I'll kill you," she said and waved her hand. numerous pills flew every single one found a person

"Now, since there isn't an escape route from hell, you can only follow the devil. Swallow that, and you won't feel doubts again.

Zhi Rui's deep green eyes shone, and their will broke.

Every single one of them swallowed every single one begged for that drug to sent her mind to another place and let them die a painless death

Zhi Rui smiled and kept walking forward, she was in front of her troops and ahead stayed the enemy.

"It's not too late, surrender, let's all go away without bloodshed," Blue-lizard said.

Zhi Rui looked around him and frowned. "I thought you had the backing of the lawless city? how come they didn't send anyone to help you?"

"Anyone at the official level one can beat twenty common men, do you think they'd pay so much attention to you? the measures to deal with you had been made. But don't overpraise yourself."

Zhi Riu laughed. "Disappointing."

She closed her eyes, locked her own vision, and reduced her strength to that of a level one physical cultivator. Only like this, she could confirm the strength of her techniques.

Sandworm and Blue-amethyst, watched as the tribesmen suddenly focused, they weren't trembling anymore.

Blue-lizard looked around at his tern soldiers and at the opposite enemy, he felt embarrassed he had come with certain victory yet he didn't manage to gather an awe-inspiring pose as he wished. He took a deep breathed and tried again.

"You claim to be seeking freedom to your men, but look at them! They became tamed beasts! fighting in a certain way, moving on a pattern, that's the empire's way, not ours! you're killing the soul of barbarism!" Blue-Lizard yelled.

Zhi Rui laughed "If things stand the same, how can we ever evolve? the fight with the empires has been going for centuries, but not once did one side or the other won an inch into the opposite land. The big tribes only grew fatter, and the misery never ceased to spread. How can I destroy something that is already dead?"

Her eyes turned stern

"Things need to change so the barbarism can resurrect. And I took upon myself to make that change happen." Zhi Rui raised her arms and swung it down.

"FIght!" Zhi Rui words shook the ground and she jumped right in the middle of the horde of enemies.

"Hold your ground!" Sandworm commanded.

He and Blue-amethyst hadn't taken any pill and they were still nervous.

The warriors moved like one, only the most necessary movements were made. they looked like... dolls.

With closed eyes, Zhi Rui felt the world around her, the smell, feelings and even the minute air currents. She swung her hammer smashing a lizard to death the mounted warrior fell down miserably to the side,

Swords and axes came from above, the mounted enemies rushed to encircle her, Zhi Rui jumped, redirected and counter-attacked each attack.

She counter-attacked sometimes swiftly sometimes slow but always with the weigh of a mountain, her Warhammer smashed down separating skin from the skull.

Three had fallen already. But Zhi Rui's face was scrunched up.

She felt her movements were smooth and well played but she couldn't be certain of her comprehension since the enemy's too weak.

She frowned and reduced her strength to that of a mortal.

Finally, she felt a little challenged, dodging to the side Zhi Rui jumped more in the middle her enemies she was in the eyes of everyone now.

five were entangling her, Zhi Rui laughed and barely dodged every swing of a weapon on her way, jumped backward when they tried to pounce on her with the lizards. Her Warhammer swung and one enemy fell from his mount,

Zhi Rui took hold of the mount and smiled. and started fighting above it, until it was killed she fell on the ground

They all charged at her, in the eyes of everyone else she was struggling bitterly, some weapons slashed down her leather armor and deep gashes of blood started appearing on her skin dirty and gasping

She laughed loudly. "So good! so good! Fight barbarians! AHAHAHA!"

Her blood boiled up and she grabbed one fallen warrior from the ground and cackled.

She slammed his body on top of another that was rushing towards her.

Zh Rui swung her Warhammer with the other hand and smashed their hip.

She was brutal in her killings, not one remained standing after a face off.

Five mounted warriors fell down just like that, And Zhi Rui's giggling stifled the already heavy tension.

The other mounted warriors rushed her way.

"Stop! Charge into the tribe, that's what we came here to do!" Yelled Blue-lizard

He couldn't afford to lose one more, he was outsmarted and dwarfed repeatedly, but he believed the numbers wouldn't betray him. That was his thoughts.

Zhi Rui saw the mounted warriors charge away and stood in the same place. She looked at the horde of warriors walking on foot, they were visibly anxious at the thought of facing her. But the bloodsoaked Zhi Rui just laughed. She charged and spearheaded them swinging her Warhammer wantonly without a care in the world.

Blue-amethyst was ready to give an order to her archer team but the image of Zhi Rui bashing people around like she was running in the middle of a flower-field stunned her, again she felt wet

As Zhi Rui had her fun and put up the show Davi facing Goliath and winning

Sandworm looked at the warriors from his side, after taking the pill they were all like zombies listening everything without second thoughts.

The mounted warriors were rushing in, but no one trembled.

They just stood firm to take the charge head-on.

"Fire!" Blue amethyst ordered, and the trenches ignited, the lizards under them jumped to another side of the trench some couldn't measure the right distance and smashed into the spiked barricades.

But soon they gathered in groups of fives and rushed ahead, a rain of arrows washed over them taking out some of their lizard mounts, but Soon the rest managed to gather and arrows weren't effective anymore.

"Prepare for impact." Sandworm's voice came and the warriors stood closely together. Thick shields as tall as men were held tightly in the front.

With a string of thudding sounds and screams, they tore through the formation like it was nothing. They swung their weapons from above and the people on the ground fell.

The usual tactics worked to some extent but the mounted warriors ahd the upper hand.

Sandworm looked at Blue-amethyst, she understood

"Now!" She said and the archers spread through the tribe each aimed at an either at the mount or the warrior, they were precise and calm.

The enemies were harassed by arrows and heavy armored warriors swinging their absurdly heavy weapons on the mount

Blue-amethyst watched clearly, some arrows were hitting friendly tribesmen, but if they left the mounted warriors alone the casualty would be more so she ignored it.

The enemy was held back but it was a temporary measure. And even now the casualties were piling up.

Sandworm looked at Zhi Rui killing freely amidst the horde of people, once they shift attention from her, the tribe would be doomed. His eyes looked at the mounted burly warriors. he clenched his fist.

He was wearing light leather armor, he picked up a fallen long heavy sword of his own size and marched into the battlefield He looked at Blue amethyst's eyes and mouthed.

"I'm in your care."

"Wh- What the fuck are you doing!?" SHe screamed

He was tall but skinny, the chances to fall after a single exchange of attacks was enormous. But he was already running in the middle of chaos.

Blue-amethyst felt her heartbeat race at his craziness. She raised her bow and concentrated on his surroundings.

A mounted warrior was fighting rogues and heavy armored warriors

"What are these people!? they don't seem human at all!" He yelled.

As he fought suddenly an unusual long sword came from a really low position and cut the lizard's throat open.

In a second the warrior was on the ground and he met eyes with a crouched sandworm. Sandworm left to another prey leaving the men on the ground to be outnumbered.

Enemies came to him from behind side, and every time he engaged on one versus one arrow came to his aid.

Then he sneaked and killed, slowly the numbers of mounted men were dwindling.

It was battle of attrition

Blue-Lizard gnashed his teeth, he didn't think he would see so many of his men being defeated like this. But he didn't know what to do if he let Zhi Rui be, she would come to him, and he had no confidence in fighting her. So he used numbers to exhausted her, but her smile showed not a hint of fatigue even after killing more than half of the horde alone.

His heart bled but he had to make a decision, he looked with raw hate at Zhi Rui, but he breathed in and bowed in the carriage's direction.

"Esteemed warriors, I'm afraid I cannot pass this ordeal without both of sir's help."

After a long minute, the wooden door opened. A Young man in his twenties with bright blonde hair walked forward, wearing gold ornaments and white linen robe. right after a blonde woman of the same age and with the same traits as the young man, came out with her loose long bright blonde hair.

"To think that after all that talk, you ask for our help right in the middle of the fight. Now whatever was discussed has to be renegotiated.

The young man said. "Right Sis?"

The young woman nodded with indifference, they weren't wearing any armor, only bracelets on the arms and legs, and a very thin white linen robe.

"Sis, let's just finish this quick- ...uh?" Rubble the brother stopped his words midway as he saw his sister entranced eyes. He looked in the same direction

Zhi Rui was brutally shoving her arm through a burly warrior's chest, she cackled and swung the body away. The people around her screamed and attacked but their motivation came from the same instinct that makes a chicken attack a human when cornered. There was nowhere else to go so they desperately fought and died

And since Zhi Rui reduced her strength to their level, the hope of actually landing a hit kept them going.

Rubble saw it clearly, Zhi Rui was a level two cultivators, she was intentionally keeping her strength low. She using the weak to hone her abilities.

His blood boiled. The sibling's white as snow skin, became ruddy. their bright gold eyes shone with abysmal rage.

Crystal his sister, held his arm.

They looked at each other's eyes. seeing the same emotion, they jumped right beside Zhi Rui one in front Zhi Rui and the other in the back.

Between Zhi Rui and them were some barbarians. Zhi Rui felt a chill crawl on her spine and she jumped to the side, shoving everyone with her the impact was great and it hurt. But she caught a glimpse of the place she just stood

A foot smashed the ground the sand exploded outwards. Zhi Rui knew it wasn't a simple attack, She instantly remembered there was one more person around.

Zhi Rui tried to move fast, when she managed to put one foot on the ground A piercing fist came from her left side smashing her ribcage. Time slowed down, She felt one of her ribs completely shatter and the others break.

With the only foot on the ground, she threw herself to the right to diminish the damage. But as she turned around there was an incoming fist to her face Zhi Rui's eyes shone red, and she clenched her teeth.

"Enough of your bullshit!" She growled and pulled her arm into an attack leaving her chest open for his fist.

Her own fist went smoothly but time seemed to slow down for the blonde young man. The punch came like every other but it seemed to carry the weight of a mountain.

"Rubble!!" The sister cried.

Zhi Rui smirked the punch hit her above her left breast, shattering her clavicle and breaking her shoulder. She smiled hideously as she pushed through the tearing pain to reach her own fist on the soon-to-be-dead man's neck.

her fist was millimeters away from his neck when Zhi Rui saw clearly his features. Golden eyes filled with a childish panic, bright blond hair and smooth white skin. She had never seen someone who could attract her so much with a single glance. In the small time frame, Zhi Rui's eye shone with malice and her lust surged, a heart desired bloomed, and she more than willingly shifted her hit to his abdomen. His face twisted like his innards.

He fell down, Zhi Rui felt a gushing wind from behind, she turned to see a foot seconds away from her face. she bent herself backward and the sole of the foot rasped at her chin and she could vividly feel her jaw breaking.

But the same visage made her forget the pain, a long bright blonde hair, eyebrows eyelashes, and the same golden eyes on a slim young woman.

Zhi Rui felt the heart desire grow wickedly intense. Her eyes turned complete dark red 'Two baby bunnies... mine baby bunnies.'

Crystal took back her leg assuming Zhi Rui would've fallen from the jaw kick she looked to her brother doing everything he can to get up again.

She opened her mouth but his eyes showed panic. She looked back at Zhi Rui, she was standing there, right beside herself, a kick was coming her way.

Zhi Rui used her shin bone and hit one low kick on crystals tigh the sound of broken bone cracking sent chills down crystal's spine.

Zhi Rui pulled her leg back and threw another kick before the young women could scream.

A middle kick on the waist.

Crystal felt the bones going out of place and she fell down. the pain didn't allowed energy for speaking.

Zhi Rui looked at both of them with their injuries while she herself was standing and hideously grinning with her broken jaw.

"Hehe~~, what a blessing, a couple of spoiled baby bunnies had come my way."
