"I don't believe that I cannot handle this small girl, she must have used some tricks to fight senior brother just now, I won't let her have her way this time," the disciple said to the disciple who tried to discourage him, they all began cheering him after they heard his statement. Huo Ying stood five metres away from them laughing, she could not believe that this useless group of disciples were thinking of defeating her, the most ridiculous thing is that she is even going along with their ridiculous play.

"You this useless disciple, how dare you think of making me draw my sword against you," she said, she had already stopped laughing at this time, they were already taking too much time to get the vitality sect and they still didn't know how Huo Ying condition is. ​​

I need to get rid of these scoundrels, if more of them gather here by the time Bingchen has found the herbs and they set up a trap for us, it would be harder for us to get out of here...

She thought!

"What sect are you from, you actually dare to intrude into the vitality sect, are you undermine our sect abilities, no matter how good you are, you are already outnumbered, just surrender and we will go soft when dealing with you, or else…" the disciple who had just challenged her said, the rest of them began shouting…

Yes!!!

Yes!!!

Yes!!!

"Little girl, the earlier you surrender and tell us who sent you here, the higher the chances that you will be able to leave this place alive" another one shouted.

"tchctchtchtch, I thought the disciples of the vitality sect were better than this but who would have known that you are all trash, you don't need to know which sect I am from, just know that only me can defeat two hundred of you in just ten minutes," she said then she scoffed at them. Even if the vitality sect is one of the most inferior sects in the Tang dynasty, they have the protection of the court and even other nations since they are the ones responsible for producing very rare herbs for the royal family and other countries, this is why no one has ever dared to offend the vitality.

But who would have known that today even a little girl is capable of infiltrating into their sect and belittling them?...

She must be tired of living!!

Such a little girl, it is a pity that she has chosen to offend our sect….

She will definitely not make it out alive…...

They thought!!!

"Since you have chosen not to concede then don't blame me…" the disciple who had challenged her said then he ran towards her direction, even though he was charging towards her she still dint move just like she did before.

This girl must have a trick up her sleeve, she is not even drawing her sword...

The disciple thought as he dashed in her direction.

If I keep using our sect skills, they will find out that we are the ones that infiltrated their sect one day…...

She thought!

As much as she wanted to deal with them, she couldn't put their sect at the risk of being humiliated in the future, she was still about how she was going to deal with them, then all of a sudden, she sensed the breath of the disciple close to her.

I will just play with them until they are tired…

The disciple brandished his sword against her as he raised it against her head, just as the sword was about to land on her, she quickly manoeuvred to the sight, it was clear that she wasn't even concentrating on the fight, she didn't even look at her opponent, instead, she just kept on dodging his attack, after several attempts to hit her with his sword to no avail, the disciple finally stopped attacking her. He had used too much force in attacking her and now he was already out of breath but she was still fine. She didn't even move away from the spot she was standing after she dodged his first attack but she still managed to dodge all his attack while standing on one spot.

"This girl is so amazing; she didn't even move a step to dodge his attack"

"she is basically humiliating our sect, if outsiders were here, we would have already lost our face"

"Do you still want to continue?" Huo Li said in a sarcastic and scornful tone, she shook her head in disappointment.

His fitness is just about the same as our beginner disciples, what a shame…...

"How dare you belittle me, why are not using your sword," he said as he tried to catch his breath, never in his life has he been humiliated like that, even if the disciples of the vitality are among the least ranked sect in martial art, they are not so bad to the extent he ant even defeat this girl.

"your fitness is just so so, how dare you ask me to draw my sword for a useless scoundrel like you," She said with a belittling and arrogant smile on her face.

He clenched his fist in anger when he saw her smiling, she is certainly not even taking him seriously…

"Are you playing with me" the disciple shouted in anger, if he was defeated in a serious fight then he could swallow his anger but this time she is clearly toying with him.

"isn't it obvious that I am toying with you, why are you still asking," she said then she let out a scornful laugh.

"You….", her actions were enough to make him spit out blood.

I can't just swallow this humiliation….

He thought, then he dashed towards her action with all of his remaining strength.

He lowered his body as he ran towards her with his sword aiming to slash her waist.

AAARRRGHHHHHH!!!

He screamed with all of his strength, as soon as he came close enough to cut her, he quickly swiped his sword at her waist as fast as he could but he wasn't fast enough….

She had already realized that he was aiming for her waist, she etched a smirk at the corner of her lips then she swiftly propelled herself into the air just above the head, she tumbled twice in the air then she rushed down at him with a flying kick….

He stopped his attack when he saw he disappear from his front, he turned back and looked up then he saw her….

He didn't even have the time to tell what she was doing before she knocked him out with a flying kick.

They all gasped as he fell to the ground…

She landed on the ground then she smoothened her cloth and said: "Who is next".

They all looked each other, none of them was willing to fight against her, she is clearly more capable…

"I have always told people not to judge a book by its cover but they just wouldn't listen, this is a lesson to you all, don't just judge other people capability by how they look," she said.

"That is indeed a good lesson for them"

They all turned to see who it was then they saw one of their elders walking towards them, they all cleared the way for him in their middle then they bowed their heads and chorused "Second elder!!".

She watched as the elder walked up to the front.

"As the elder of this sect, I wonder how you teach your disciples, they had already let their guard down just because of my appearance, I wonder how the vitality sect lasted until this day," she said to him. The elder frowned at her statement, never has he seen someone so bold to speak to him in that manner.

"Young girl, I admit that our teachings are too lacking but why don't you tell us which sect you are from then we will make efforts to learn from your sect," the elder said to her.

Those this elder think I am a fool, he is actually tricking me into exposing my identity, like elder like disciple…...

"I am not from any sect, I just entered here to steal some herbs for my mother's illness" she replied

"With your level of martial art there is no way you are just an ordinary girl, tell me the truth now and I will spare your life," the elder said with a smile on his face, anyone who saw his smile would immediately believe him but she is not a small kid who can be easily deceived.

"I was taught by my father but he has died and I don't have any money to buy medicine for my mother," She said to the elder.

"Second elder, this little has beat up two of our disciples, she should be punished severely," one of them said to the elder, the elder glared at him and said "you all are a disgrace, a little girl snuck into our sect successfully and none of you even caught her, and you can't even beat a small girl like her", she clenched her fist once again, she thought the elder would be different from his disciples but he still called her a little girl.

"If you just submit to us quietly, I will spare your life, I never fail to keep my promise so you had better do what is better for yourself," the elder said to her.

"And if I don't," she said, then she stretched her hands forward without removing the sheath.

"Then you leave me no choice…attack her together" the elder commanded.

"I thought you were going to fight me yourself but you actually sent these idiots to fight me," she said and scoffed, without further delay, she dashed in their direction as they came at her…

They had already caught up to her when they realized that she was no longer coming towards them.

She has disappeared again….

Then they all turned around only to see five of them unconscious on the ground, then she reappeared at their front.

"it won't take me anything to beat all of you," she said then she pointed her unsheathed sword at them.

What is that idiot still doing, it is taking him too long to get the damned herbs….

She thought!

At that moment, they all came at her again, this time she just leapt into the air and tumbled into their middle, they all pointed their sword at her as she tumbled down but she landed on their swords, then she pressed her hand on one of the disciple's head and kicked all of them as she spun around, within one minute they were all lying on the floor. The elder watched as they all landed on the ground in disappointment.

Just one girl has succeeded in defeating all of them…...

--------------------

Huo Bingchen was still struggling to open the box, he has been trying to open the box for one hour and thirty minutes now but he still hasn't succeeded.

"there must be something secret inside this box," Huo Bingchen said to himself, he had lighted one of the candled in the storage and brought it to the ground to prevent hem from noticing that he is inside the storage room. He was deeply concentrated on the lock before he heard the disciples screaming outside the storage.

They are so unlucky to have met Huo Li….

He thought

He was already running out of them and in two hours day, it would have been the third day since Huo Ying became sick.

The lock had about thirteen stages to open it, he had succeeded in opening twelve already but he was still stuck on the last one, he was already sweating because of the heat in the storage room and the sweat was almost clouding his sight, he took off his mask and wiped the sweat on his face.

Five minutes later, he succeeded in opening the thirteenth stage of the lock, he smiled and breathed a sigh if relief as he removed the golden circle on the box and dropped it on the ground, he rummaged the box in search of the herbs they needed but he couldn't find it.

I hope I haven't wasted my time and energy in opening this box for nothing…

He thought!!!

He had almost given up and moved to search other places of the storage when he heard the sound of something opening, he looked at the bottom of the box then he realised that he had pressed th4e bottom of the box by mistake, another box came out of the shelf underneath the box he was searching. Although he was surprised, he quickly rummaged through the smaller box, then he found both herbs that they needed to treat Huo Ying. He smiled and heaved a sigh of relief, he stood up from his kneeling position and was about to leave the storage room when he heard a sound, then he turned back. He saw another box come out of the shelf, out of curiosity, he bent down to look at what was inside the box but the box wouldn't open no matter how much force he put into it, he decided to give up since he had gotten what he wanted.
