What just happened?

Everyone thought that Claire and Lin Xiao were surely dead, but a magic shield suddenly appeared.

That magic shield looked normal but was exceptionally hard, not only did it easily block Hardy’s punch, it also sent him flying.

How much magic power and reaction time would you need to create a magic shield like that?

If they weren’t wrong, Hardy should have just advanced to the seventh level and black dragon fist was an advanced technique, a seventh-level magician wouldn’t be able to easily block that punch.

Did they see it wrong? Or was Hardy slacking in his training and wasn’t able to wield the full power of the black dragon fist?

No one knew what was the case other than the parties involved, so Barrett didn’t focus on that.

What he wanted to know was who cast the magic shield?

Was it Claire?

No, Claire could never use magic, and she wasn’t even healthy when she was young, she had to rely on a lot of precious medicine and treasures to get her current strength.

Then, it was Lin Xiao?

It can’t be, he’s still so young, supposedly only 15 or 16 years old, how could he have that much magic power?

Barrett may have respected him, but he never expected him to be this strong, if Lin Xiao actually did it… wouldn’t that mean he was even stronger than himself?

But there was no time right now for Barrett to be shocked, he would have to wait until the crisis was over.

“Princess, Lin Xiao, why are you still lying down? Get up!!!” Barrett got anxious seeing them still lying down on the ground and yelled.

Because of the distance Barrett could only see that Claire was pressing Lin Xiao to the floor and the two were hugging and squirming around, he wasn’t sure was they were doing so he could only call out and hope they stopped messing around!

Barrett didn’t get it, Hardy’s attack was clearly blocked so they should have only been minimally injured so why are they still hugging each other on the ground?

Could Lin Xiao have been taking advantage of it and purposely not letting go to take advantage of Claire?

Peh! Barrett was just respecting him but he turns out to be a big pervert?

Lin Xiao would never admit to that! Normally he would, but not this time! Because he was innocent!

Please, he never even wanted to take advantage of Claire, it was Claire who wasn’t letting him go and assaulting him with her mouth. He was the victim and Claire was the true pervert!

Of course, Lin Xiao couldn’t proclaim his innocence because his mouth was blocked.

On the other side, although Barrett couldn’t see clearly, the two sitting down could clearly see.

Initially, when Hardy attacked, ShenDai Ying was really anxious and wanted to help and go stab Hardy, how dare he try to hurt Lin Xiao! But when she saw Lin Xiao and Claire lying down together and swapping spit, she transferred all her anger to Claire!

That thieving cat, I never even did that and you dare sneak in line? You bitch, you may seem like a tomboy, but you’re even more disgusting than a monkey in heat!

ShenDai Ying almost rushed out and stabbed Claire to death first! Elena was also seething but had no good way to stop them so she just looked away, but could still hear the disgusting sounds.

But how could Hardy give up this opportunity? When he saw those two kissing like no one was around, he laughed and thought that victory was within his grasp, so he exploded with power and planned to give Lin Xiao one final attack!

“Princess, watch out!”

Barrett noticed Hardy was attacking once more and quickly drew a sword from one of the attendants next to him and tried to kill Hardy before he could do anything.

“Hmph! Don’t underestimate me! Barrett do you think I’m still scared by you after being shielded by my aura?”

Hardy’s body was currently completely covered in aura and he wasn’t affected by Barrett, though he was still weaker, he wouldn’t be killed that easily.

“You traitor, die! … What?”

As Barrett swung his sword, all he heard was a whoosh. Hardy picked up the long and heavy meeting table and threw it toward Barrett!

“Ah! Grand Marshall, don’t!!!”

The person screaming for help was the pitiful Taike.

It wasn’t just the table, but Taike was also hanging off it and was carried along with it.

“Damn it… what a pain!”

Barrett could only retract his sword and go on the defensive. He swung to only hit the table and was able to send Taike away into the crowd. He may have saved Taike, but that gave Hardy an opportunity!

“Hehe! Grand Marshall, I’ll use this life to kill the princess and that stinking advisor, let’s see how you’ll fight with the rebel army then!?”

“Hardy! Why did you betray the country to help the rebels! What are they giving you!?”

“Hmph, fools like you would never understand me… Lin Xiao, Claire, die along with me!”

Hardy forced his aura to its maximum and the black flames were incomparably scorching hot that it was even burning his own skin, but he was unaware as he clenched his right fist and punched.

“Black dragon fist!!!”

This time Hardy had absolute confidence that this punch would kill the both of them! Even if that sturdy magic shield appeared again, he didn’t care! Hmph, don’t underestimate his strength!

No matter if Lin Xiao was a genius that was a peak seventh-level grand magician that was far stronger than him, so what!?

Lin Xiao, look at you now!

Now that you’re pressed down by Claire unable to move or draw circles, even your vision was blocked so that you couldn’t see this punch!

Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, you may have defeated me easily in a fight, but now you’re no different from a blind cripple! So sorry, you, and your loyal princess will be killed!

As long as you two die, the rebels will win! That way, my death will be worth it!

Unfortunately, his punch that used all his strength wasn’t even worth mentioning to Lin Xiao, it was laughable…

“Is it hard to cast magic while lying down and blinded? Hm, it is a bit difficult, but… for you, it’s enough.”
