Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 301 - 300: On the battlefield, there’s also a feeling of happiness

Chapter 301: Chapter 300: On the battlefield, there’s also a feeling of happiness

Feng Yexuan attempted to rush over for the rescue.

However, having suffered severe injuries and the anesthesia not yet fully dissipated, he ultimately was a step too late.

The two Medicine Men had already pounced onto Chu Qianli.

Feng Yexuan’s heart was torn with intensity in that instant.

He leaped into the air, regardless of his dispersing True Qi, and descended from horseback.

Just as he intended to proceed, he saw the girl, who should have been overpowered by the two Medicine Men, suddenly pivot and turn with a misstep, sweeping out her sword.

Fierce Sword Qi instantly felled the two Medicine Men!

Her Inner Strength, unnoticed in the midst of several real battles, had improved significantly!

The portion of Inner Strength he had transferred to her was slowly integrating with the True Qi within her body.

She had become so powerful!

Feng Yexuan took a step forward, and a surge of blood roiled within his chest.

He nearly vomited blood.

Leng Ji, who had just arrived, immediately supported him, "Prince..."

As the two lifted their eyes, they saw within a pool of blood, that slender figure dispatching two more Medicine Men with swift sword strokes.

This was the first time Feng Yexuan had personally witnessed her in combat.

The strikingly beautiful face, now stained with the blood of the enemy.

Messy as it seemed, it radiated a captivatingly pale complexion under the illumination of the dawn.

It was beautiful, as flawless and translucent as a piece of pure white jade.

Unaware of Feng Yexuan’s arrival, she stood among the soldiers, her height modest compared to the men around her.

Yet her aura of cold nobility was so conspicuous that one could spot her instantly from the crowd.

"The blood of Medicine Men is poisonous. Those with wounds, step back; those without, come forward!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers, by now, were all willing to obey her, clearly having completely submitted.

Feng Yexuan felt somewhat conflicted.

This woman was more formidable than he had imagined.

His Xuanwu Army was notoriously tough to tame, yet she had managed to win everyone’s heartfelt allegiance in a single night.

But the more she did so, the more unease took hold in Feng Yexuan’s heart.

He always felt that she was moving farther away from him.

If she progressed too fast and he did not make an effort to keep up, might he lose her completely?

He had never experienced such a feeling towards anyone before, let alone a woman.

His hand clenched tightly.

Leng Ji was astonished to find that his long sword had already fallen into the Prince’s hands.

"Prince, be mindful of your body!"

Feng Yexuan leaped up and instantly appeared beside Chu Qianli.

"Prince!"

The soldiers were taken aback! The Prince had been seriously injured the night before, why wasn’t he resting at this time?

Chu Qianli was also startled, nearly forgetting to continue fighting due to his sudden presence.

"You’re so badly hurt..."

"Do you think this Prince would be willing to hide behind a woman?"

Although Feng Yexuan’s words retained their usual chill, there was an unmistakable absence of anger in his voice.

He snorted and thrust his sword, the Sword Qi not powerful but still piercing the hearts of two Medicine Men!

"Expect this Prince to lie down and wait for your return, unless, this Prince is dead!"

Chu Qianli felt quite helpless.

He truly was the most disobedient and difficult patient she had ever come across.

Yet at the same time, the strongest one.

"Good, we will fight side by side, but you must promise me one thing."

"Speak!" Feng Yexuan was about to step forward.

Chu Qianli urgently said, "Don’t use your True Qi!"

As long as he did not use True Qi, at least it wouldn’t harm himself.

He was seriously injured, and the use of True Qi could aggravate his internal injuries.

Feng Yexuan hesitated for only half a second then hooked his thin lips, faintly saying, "Fine, this Prince today will rely on brutish strength!"

This was the first time since Feng Yexuan began learning martial arts that he fought solely with brute strength.

He threw his long sword away, because if he was going to use brute force, the sword was completely unsuitable.

He caught the broadsword that Leng Ji threw at him.

One slash at a time, he charged forward with courage.

He completely disregarded the wounds on his body!

But he knew he could bear it!

At first, Chu Qianli had stayed close to him because, after all, a Prince Yexuan who could not use his True Qi was no different from an ordinary soldier.

The only difference, perhaps, was that this soldier possessed a natural brute strength.

With one slash, he could bring down a Medicine Man charging at him, even turning it into a very bloody scene.

Not just any other warrior could do that.

But later, Chu Qianli gradually realized that he really didn’t need her protection.

He had enough strength to protect himself!

What Chu Qianli didn’t know was that at the beginning, Feng Yexuan felt the same as she did.

He stayed by her side to protect her.

Although he had promised not to use his True Qi, if she was in danger, he would have to use it without question.

But he also hadn’t expected this woman to be much stronger than he had imagined!

Her long sword, with its fierce Sword Qi, could strike down a Medicine Man without them having any chance to resist.

Standing beside Chu Qianli, he actually felt the sensation of fighting side by side with someone.

This was a feeling he had never experienced on the battlefield in all his years.

Even the presence of all the Great Generals around him couldn’t give him this feeling.

Advancing hand-in-hand, sharing life and death, entrusting one’s back entirely to the other.

Simply killing enemies, no need for defense.

This is the power of fighting together!

"Girl, shall we charge down there?" he asked.

After a few hours of battle, the heat coming from the bottom of the cliff had all but dissipated.

Which meant that the fires at the bottom of the cliff were out.

What remained were Medicine Men who were burned and others who had found places to hide and survived.

The battle had reached this point, and going down there would be a pursuit of victory!

Chu Qianli looked back at him, a glint of light in her eyes, "Yes!"

They walked shoulder to shoulder, fought side by side, and she seemed to finally realize that she was no longer alone...

...

The battle continued into the afternoon.

There were two secret tunnels leading up from the bottom of the cliff.

Under the leadership of Feng Yexuan and Chu Qianli, the army proceeded downward and quickly eradicated all the Medicine Men at the base of the cliff.

Qiu Qinghai was severely injured and captured alive.

This battle, they had won completely.

By the time they got back to camp, it was already evening.

The brothers were in high spirits, excitedly recounting their process of hurling Thunderclap Cannons down into the pit, each one brimming with excitement.

Those who hadn’t participated in the battle were full of regret.

They had thought it would be shameful to be led by a young girl in a campaign.

But unexpectedly, they had created a miracle.

How they wished they had also taken part!

Prince Yexuan seemed to also be in a good mood that day.

Even the soldiers could faintly make out a smile playing at the corners of the Prince’s lips now and then.

Almost imperceptible, but sometimes, when looked at closely, it seemed genuinely visible.

Truly a once in a century occurrence.

Winning a battle, especially one so modest in scale, was that really enough to make the Prince so happy?

It was rather strange!

But soon, they realized that the Prince was no longer happy, in fact, he was very unhappy!

"The woman has left?"

Feng Yexuan stared at Leng Ji, unable to believe what he was hearing.

Leng Ji trembled with fear, but still had to report the news, "My report, Prince, Miss Chu says... her mission is complete and she must return to the Emperor to report."
