No one, not even Jing Yuan, could have anticipated one thing.
And that is, the True Qi within Wang Junze’s body was not completely exhausted; he had preserved a small portion, enough for at least one more move.
After all, following his setback at the Cloud Mirror Sect, Luo Qingxuan had secretly taught Wang Junze how to control his True Qi. Most importantly, with the Hundred Meridians Opening, Wang Junze’s True Qi recovery speed was several times faster than that of normal Condensing Truth.
The terrifying thing about a prodigy is not how strong they already are, but their potential for growth.
Like Wang Junze, when he first stepped into the Extreme North Wilderness, his strength when he entered Broken Dragon Cliff, fought at Cloud Mirror Sect, and now facing Jing Yuan, was vastly different each time.
This is what makes him truly terrifying.
Sitting cross-legged in the snow, Wang Junze slightly closed his eyes and circulated the True Qi within his body.
With Wang Xin by his side, Wang Junze did not need to be distracted by potential ambushes and quickly entered a state of cultivation, rapidly restoring his True Qi.
However, the unexpected happened sooner than Wang Junze had anticipated.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, several figures appeared around Wang Junze.
With a slight twitch of his eyes, before the figures could come any closer, Wang Xin coldly spoke: "Why aren’t you looking for resources? What are you doing here?"
Even though the people in front were of the Human Race and only had Condensing Truth cultivation, Wang Xin remained vigilant and directly commanded them to stop.
"Miss Xin’er, we have come to seek assistance. An unexpected situation arose, and we were ambushed by Deserters. The casualties were severe. Could you help us?"
The leader, with a tinge of sadness on his face, clasped his fists and urgently pleaded.
Without any hesitation, Wang Xin coldly refused: "My brother is recovering his True Qi; I won’t go anywhere until he recovers."
"But... the situation is truly critical!" the man pleaded again: "Miss Xin’er, I beg you! We can help protect Young Master Wang, and there will surely be no problems. We just ask you to save my fellow sect members."
As the man drew closer, Wang Xin, without any hesitation, unsheathed his sword immediately!
The blade, as thin as a cicada’s wing, instantly exuded a sharp Sword Intent, pointing towards them coldly as Wang Xin spoke: "I said stop! If anyone dares take another step, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
"Miss Xin’er, I beg you, I kneel before you."
The leader dropped to his knees with a dull thud, and simultaneously, the others showed a trace of anxiety, stepping forward as if instinctively wanting to plead with Wang Xin again.
However, almost as they stepped forward, Wang Xin’s sword surged with a trace of fire, instantly exploding and killing the two people at the front on the spot.
Wang Xin was no naive girl; their disguise could never deceive her eyes.
At this moment, Wang Xin seemed to shed all pretense, revealing her true self.
Simultaneously, the begging man abruptly stood, a murderous glint in his eyes as he drew a dagger from his sleeve, charging fiercely at Wang Junze.
Moreover, the man who had just wielded a Condensing True Qi aura suddenly burst forth with Refining God Realm power.
Clearly, this person was a master highly skilled in concealing his aura, disguising as a Condensing Truth practitioner merely to lower Wang Xin’s guard. Seeing that the deception was failing, he suddenly attacked with a strike that was both fast and ruthless, perfectly timed while Wang Xin was busy dealing with others.
Sensing the change in the man, Wang Xin instantly erupted in a terrifying blaze, speeding to her limit, her body blocking the blow intended for Wang Junze.
Wang Xin’s reaction was incredibly fast.
Whether it was the immediate killing or her explosive reaction now, she nearly reached the pinnacle of her abilities each time.
But this was a meticulously arranged assassination attempt, with the opponents anticipating Wang Xin’s every response, giving her no chance to stop them.
Almost as Wang Xin blocked the dagger, from afar erupted a terrifying cold glint, aimed straight at Wang Junze’s heart!
All that the Human Race figures in front had done was mere disguise to distract Wang Xin, laying the groundwork for this deadly shot.
This arrow came too fast!
When the cold glint burst forth, it had already reached its mark, giving Wang Xin no time to react.
However, to everyone’s surprise, just as the arrow was about to strike Wang Junze, he suddenly opened his eyes and swung his sword fiercely, with a speed surpassing the arrow, slashing down upon it.

The Sword Edge precisely struck the arrowhead, not only stopping the arrow but splitting it in two.
Moreover, the Sword Edge did not lose momentum. Like a rainbow crossing the sky, it fiercely slashed back towards the source of the arrow!
