Chapter 76: What Is a Princess, What Is a Witch?
Hearing the arrogant words of the seventh-level peak bird demon leader, Leng Xiao wasn't afraid. Instead, she cracked her knuckles and said excitedly:
"It just so happens that this witch hasn't had a proper fight in a while. I'll use you to warm up."
As she spoke, Leng Xiao no longer hid her aura—her spiritual pressure at the fifth-level peak erupted fully.
Her sudden burst of power stunned the golden-feathered bird demon leader.
What a joke.
A fifth-level peak dared to speak to him like that?
He immediately waved his golden spear and pointed at the sixth-level big bird demon beside him, barking: "You go."
The bird demon clan all looked roughly the same—humanoid bodies with bird heads, sharp hooked beaks, and wings like steel. The big bird demon had a silvery body and was of sixth-level strength. It also had the innate flying ability most demons lacked.
Ordinary professionals could only gain the ability to fly after reaching sixth level. Leng Xiao, still at the fifth-level peak, didn't have this advantage yet.
This was why the bird demons dared to launch such a blatant ambush in the valley—they had a terrain advantage.
They could attack from the air, completely sealing off the escape route. In the eyes of the bird demon leader, the Moon Night Chamber of Commerce was nothing more than a fat lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Of course, he had heard of their background—but as autumn arrived, food among the demons grew scarce. Especially for those border tribes abandoned by the demon clan, survival meant either robbery... or cannibalism.
The leader had already investigated that the Moon Night Chamber of Commerce had to frequently enter and exit the human-demon border. It likely had no sixth-level experts. That's why he planned this raid!
Following the golden-feathered leader's command, the big silver-feathered bird demon raised his spear and turned into a silver streak as he dived straight toward Leng Xiao.
"Hmph." Facing the sixth-level bird demon's attack, Leng Xiao's eyes filled with disdain.
Though she was only at the peak of the fifth level, her true combat strength was far beyond that.
Suddenly, dark energy surged from Leng Xiao's body, laced with red lightning, crackling like a living storm.
This wasn't a competition with Lin Ze—there was no need to hold back now.
Bang!
Her jade-like foot slammed into the ground, leaving a deep crater. Leng Xiao vanished in a flash of red and appeared directly in front of the bird demon.
Her pink fist, wrapped in dark aura and red lightning, slammed into the bird demon's jaw.
Half of its head exploded on the spot!
Green blood rained down from the sky.
After doing this, Leng Xiao's eyes showed no fear—only a burning thirst for battle.
This was why she was known as a witch in the heart of the Magic City.
Her obsession with battle bordered on fanaticism.
She had always held back while sparring with Lin Ze.
Leng Xiao's one-hit kill shocked the group of bird demons that had been eager to pounce.
A fifth-level peak had just one-shotted a sixth-level elite.
Even Xiao Yun, who had been worried about her from a distance, was left wide-eyed.
She never expected that the cheerful, clingy Leng Xiao who stayed by Lin Ze's side would be so… handsome when serious!
Yes—handsome!
At this moment, Leng Xiao stood tall in her red dress, dark energy swirling around her, facing thousands of bird demons alone!
Only now did Xiao Yun realize: the real Leng Xiao had always restrained herself before Lin Ze.
Now, she understood what a witch truly was.
Leng Xiao was no longer the delicate princess—she was a war goddess.
Her fighting spirit had fully ignited.
Even her voice carried commanding pressure:
"Come on, let this witch see who gave you the courage to stop the Moon Night Chamber of Commerce!"
Her tone was light, but her presence carried the overwhelming might of someone born to lead. After all, Leng Xiao was the princess of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan.
Even the surrounding demons couldn't help but tremble in fear.
Even the seventh-level peak bird demon leader hesitated, muttering in his heart. Leng Xiao's presence didn't feel like something ordinary.
Just then, his subordinate nearby tugged at his arm and whispered, "Boss, maybe we should retreat? That one looks strong. If she's backed by a Demon God, we might be wiped out!"
Before he finished, the leader slapped the subordinate on the head.
"Retreat? What retreat?! If we let them go now, do you think we'll still survive later?"
"This is the chamber of commerce of the Moon Demon Clan! If even one escapes, the Moon Demons will send troops to annihilate us!"
"Charge!"
At his command, the bird demons—who had hesitated—roared and dived toward the caravan like madmen.
For a time, the whole scene descended into chaos. Most caravan members were too weak and were being slaughtered.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun waved the command flag. The caravan's combat team launched a counteroffensive.
After all, they still had fifty fifth-level Moon Demons in the caravan.
These magicians were extremely well trained.
They tore up the magic scrolls in their hands—fifty red magic arrays appeared in the air above them. As spiritual power surged, dozens of massive fireballs blasted forth, capable of killing fifth-level monsters with ease.
Bird demons were blasted out of the sky like falling dumplings, their scorched bodies crashing to the earth.
With the caravan forming ranks and drawing closer, the battlefield gradually stabilized.
Any bird demon that tried to get close was blocked by the heavily armored warriors on the frontline, while the magicians rained magic from behind.
Seeing his troops unable to break the formation and the number of bird demons dropping fast, the seventh-level leader grew anxious.
If this dragged on, who knew what reinforcements might come?
He raised his golden spear, preparing to force a breakthrough himself.
But just as he moved, Leng Xiao appeared right in front of him.
"Where do you think you're going? Your opponent is this witch."
"I've never fought a seventh-level peak before. Let me see what kind of challenge you can give me."
