15 hours had passed in the trial now.
The Lovely Empress sped through the ruined city gigantic stone blocks and there were only two targets in her mind, "Ji Yuan and the safe area."
As she searched through the towering stone blocks, she was anxious for Ji Yuan. "I didn't see him yet? Is he dead?"
Along the way, she had spied more than 10 cultivators who were equally startled to see her. But before they could get to talk to her or to fight her, she had quickly disappeared.
Then an ominous thought had dawned upon her as she muttered softly with shock, "That impure Ji Yuan. Don't tell me that he has actually died in the lesser area of this trial and not in the greater area? If so then he is really a weak great saint…"
All of a sudden she was startled because she had spotted the Hunter South King and he had just killed a cultivator.
And the Hunter South King had also spotted her and he was grinning coldly, "I wonder who it is. So it is the Lovely Empress."
The Lovely Empress adjusted her speeding posture into a standing posture before giggling with great loveliness, "So it is you. Well, we are on the same side. So why don't you go away and don't block my way here."
The Hunter South King laughed jovially, "My Lovely Empress. This won't do at all. My mission as a Hunter is to kill all the cultivators. Even though we are on the same side but you are a cultivator now. Moreover there are so many speculators that are watching us from the outside. If I let you go, then they will suspect that we are conspiring together. In this case, this won't do."
"Then what do you propose we should do?" The Lovely Empress had a suddenly ugly complexion and she had readied to muster her profound strength in the next instant by readying a defensive stance as she adjusted one foot forward.
"Of course I will be forced to copulate with you. Hahaha…" The Hunter South King was laughing nonstop and told her his true intention. "After I have my fun with you, I will let my other brothers in my team to enjoy you as well. With such a delicate flower like you, how should I bear to kill you? Moreover you are the perfect play doll for me."
The Lovely Empress chuckled softly, "Is that what you have been thinking of, all this while? You seem to have forgotten that I am one of the leaders of the Death Faction while you are merely a servant in the Dragon Faction."
The Hunter South King crackled with loud laughter, "Although I am merely a servant but I am still a great saint. Moreover, I am been honing my unique divine profound art while you are merely cultivating behind closed doors."
The Lovely Empress frowned with displeasure, "I have the lofty ambition to ascend as an immortal, unlike you. When I am an immortal, you will crumble to dust. Then I shall see who will have the last laugh."
The Hunter South King laughed aloud, "Not before I can break you first to my manly vibes first…"
All of a sudden, he had attacked the Lovely Empress by flashing in front of her.
However the Lovely Empress was not surprised and she had raised her fingers into a chopping palm as she enveloped herself with her profound power to block his attack.
The Hunter South King displayed a few stances before he had suddenly displayed his half-step celestial divine sword and he exploded his profound power through it, narrowing missing the Lovely Empress.
The Lovely Empress was startled, "You have a half-step celestial divine sword?!"
A half-step celestial divine sword was a grade between a heaven-step and a celestial-step divine sword.
The Hunter South King laughed with pride, "I got lucky with my heaven-step divine sword. Now with more cultivation resources, I will be able to turn my divine sword into a full celestial divine sword. Even though you are a peaked great saintess, it is laughable for you to use your profound power to block my divine sword."
The Lovely Empress wrapped more profound power around her, increasing her profound defense with her profound aura. "Try me then! This great saintess shall teach you a lesson that you won't easily forget today…"
The Hunter South King had suddenly raised his divine sword and a profound wall of profound power had suddenly exploded around him as he interrupted the Lovely Empress.
The Lovely Empress was suddenly thrown back by this great profound power as she gasped, "Divine profound art!"
And she had quickly stepped back.
The Hunter South King chuckled as he flew to her again, "Your profound defense won't be able to last for long against my profound attack. I bet that other than your mental cultivation, all your other cultivation levels must be a 1. Maybe even your mental cultivation is also a 1 since you have spent more time dolling your own appearances than cultivation. Muhahaha…"
"What did you just say?!" The Lovely Empress was truly enraged, "Don't compared me with that Ji Yuan!"
The Hunter South King slowed down his profound attacks against the Lovely Empress, "Ji Yuan? Who is he?"
The Lovely Empress chuckled with delight at the mention of Ji Yuan, "He is a cultivator that got almost all his cultivation levels below level 1 and he is so shameless that he rounded it up to level 1. Also, he is a good-for-nothing cultivator except for a beautiful face. Hehe…"
The Hunter South King was startled, "This Ji Yuan sounds really weak."
The Lovely Empress retaliated by kicking at the Hunter South King before replying with great delight, "Indeed he is and you are as weak as him!"
The Hunter South King raised his divine sword as he displayed his divine profound art again, this time he had struck furiously against the profound defense of the Lovely Empress for her movements had been slowed down by him as he shouted angrily, "Do not compare me with that weakling!"
This strike had exploded violently against the Lovely Empress and had sent her to flew against the gigantic stone walls with a thunderous smash and her profound defense was immediately weakened.
The Hunter South King was smiling gleefully now as he had flashed forward with his divine sword once again, preparing a new surge of profound power with his divine profound art.
A great saintess was pretty hard to kill so he had to make sure that he would break her profound defense first until she could no longer be able to resist him.
For that he was prepared to be ruthless against her.
When he was upon the Lovely Empress once more, he began to displayed his astonishing divine profound art once more, this time he had used 100% of his profound power because this was a golden opportunity to strike at a weaken Lovely Empress now that he saw that she was not unable to escape.
But all of a sudden, the weakened Lovely Empress had suddenly regained her vitality and she had suddenly raised her palm to strike at his chest with a thunderous impact.
Even before he could react, the Lovely Empress had also struck his jaws with her other palm. Before he knew it, he was struck a dozen times and this scattered his profound defense!
As he fell down hard onto the ground, the Lovely Empress had suddenly displayed a celestial divine sword and had pierced it through his heart!
"You've a… celestial divine sword…"
The Lovely Empress began to laugh with great delight, "You didn't think I don't have a divine sword that is better than yours? But you didn't lose to my divine sword. You lost because you are displaying all your profound strength into attacking me while leaving your profound defense weak. As for me, I am just wrapping all my profound strength into my profound defense. Therefore I have used much less profound strength than you."
Indeed. She had increased her profound defense to reduce the profound power of the Hunter South King's divine profound art. And when she 'appeared' to be weaken, she was actually preparing her profound strength to attack him.
For the Lovely Empress to withstand Gu Sangu and Lin Antian for an hour, she was certainly not a weak great saintess.
The Hunter South King coughed out blood, "Wait! Have mercy… on me… great heroine… I was only teasing you earlier…"
The Lovely Empress hummed coldly as she kicked him in the face, "Hmph! I am no heroine. Try harder."
The Hunter South King gasped as he tried to pull her divine sword out of his chest while gasping on the ground. "My Grand Nanny… please have mercy… on me… I am willing to be… your god-son…"
The Lovely Empress rolled her lovely golden eyes as she flattened his face before she took out her divine sword from his chest to slash multiple times against him, "Grand Nanny?! Do I look so old to you?"
Then she had killed him and had received a +9 Points.
She muttered, "I'm not supposed to score any points. But this is free of charge like Ji Yuan, so never mind."
Then with a soft delighting chuckle, she had disappeared into the darkness.
Unknown to her, a short old man was following her and he was muttering. "She can really be so vicious. This maiden can really change her face from an innocent maiden to a vicious maiden in the next moment. I should get rid of her for Ji Yuan or else he will suffer in her hands in the future. And even his harem will suffer along with him."
He did not need to be with Ji Yuan to know that the Lovely Empress had known Ji Yuan; it was because he was also aware that the Lovely Empress had saved Ji Yuan when he was fighting against Gu Sangu and hence, he had spared her life for the time being. Moreover he was now tracking her down to look for the Smiling Divine Maiden.
