The Eldest Princess had her wrist chopped off after this third defeat. Fresh blood flowed continuously.
To ensure that Eldest Princess could “last” the remaining nine rounds, Ji Fengyan fed her a blood-replenishing elixir, before grinning at the Elders and waiting for the fourth round to begin.
But…
Including the first battle against Duan Muxi, the Elders had already suffered four consecutive defeats of their four most powerful practitioners.
They now held not the slightest bit of hope. In fact, they felt that Ji Fengyan was not offering them chances of winning, nor giving Eldest Princess any hope of survival—but just tormenting them.
If they had known that Ji Fengyan was so powerful, they would not have agreed to her betting game. It might have been better for the Eldest Princess to be directly executed, rather than snaring them in a bitter and hopeless struggle.
Death was not that scary. The scariest thing was despite knowing your death was certain—you still had to struggle through your last moments and undergo endless pain and torment.
This was exactly what Eldest Princess was going through this very instant.
The Eldest Princess had already long known that the Elders could not save her. The Emperor could not save her. The tens of thousands of soldiers could not save her…
Landing in Ji Fengyan’s clutches was a one way road to hell for her.
Ji Fengyan had already known the outcome of this bet right from the beginning.
But Eldest Princess had so bitterly struggled and foolishly clung onto that ridiculous notion of hope.
“Just kill me…” Eldest Princess suddenly spoke up as realization dawned on her.
Ji Fengyan was still waiting for the Elders to send their next contender. She never expected the Eldest Princess to so suddenly wish for death.
Ji Fengyan raised her brows and looked at the ashen-faced Eldest Princess.
“You wish to die?”
The Eldest Princess bore the intense pain and stared fixedly at Ji Fengyan with bloodshot eyes.
“You never intended to release me. You are just tormenting me on purpose.”
The Eldest Princess was no fool. She could clearly see it all now that she had calmed down and thought through things carefully.
With her as a hostage, the guard captain would not dare to do anything reckless. And the Elders, as the most powerful practitioners in the entire Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon, were still unable to defeat a young girl like Ji Fengyan. This betting game was a sure-loss for the Elders. For her to continue enduring this was just a way to torment her further.
Ji Fengyan chuckled as she looked at the death-seeking Eldest Princess.
“Giving up so easily?”
The Eldest Princess snorted.
Ji Fengyan grinned. “We are not even halfway through this betting game. If I may offer you a word of advice—I am facing off over 10 Elders. In this world, there is no one with limitless power.”
Ji Fengyan’s tone was amused and she spoke casually.
But her words were like a shot of adrenaline into the Eldest Princess’ heart.
That’s right!
How could she have forgotten this point!
Ji Fengyan was very powerful, but she was only one person!
It was true she had won through her miraculous abilities, but… there were still nine rounds. The Eldest Princess didn’t believe that Ji Fengyan wouldn’t tire!
Hope suddenly rose in the formerly despondent Eldest Princess. Those dull eyes lit up again.
And the Elders had clearly heard Ji Fengyan’s statement.
What exactly did Ji Fengyan mean by that?
Why would she reveal her own weakness before them?
