Lin Xi felt utterly lost in the face of Su Xi's overwhelming power.
For a moment, he even wondered if he was dreaming, experiencing something so absurd.
Their formation had been activated with all their might, capable of destroying anything with its current force, yet in the end, it achieved nothing.
Not only was Su Xi unharmed, but she seemed relaxed and at ease. It was as if their attacks were merely a massage for her.
Su Xi's body was now as hard as iron; all their attacks were futile. They couldn't even leave a scratch on her.
???
What was happening?
Witnessing this absurd scene, all the soldiers looked at Lin Xi in disbelief, seeking an answer.
What had caused them to see such a preposterous situation?
What was happening to Su Xi was beyond their comprehension, and they desperately wanted a clear explanation.
Lin Xi had no idea what was happening either, but he knew he couldn't show it.
Any display of doubt now would easily shatter their confidence.
If their morale crumbled, the army would become impossible to lead.
Facing the formidable Su Xi, Lin Xi declared, "Although her technique is powerful, I believe she cannot maintain it for long. If we increase our strength, she will be the one to fail in the end."
"Hold on, and we will achieve victory."
A deeply ingrained thought persisted in his mind:
How could someone at the Hua Shen stage be so powerful, capable of fighting those many cultivation levels above her?
Was this even something a normal person could achieve?
Therefore, even if Su Xi was using some sort of trick, it was destined not to last. Such potent techniques must surely be draining.
Su Xi's cultivation was limited and she couldn't possibly sustain it for long.
Su Xi was quite pleased with Lin Xi's desperate attacks.
If it weren't for the fact that certificates weren't common in this world, she would have gladly awarded Lin Xi one.
All the mechs in the galaxy had an automatic power absorption function, and her own mech was currently suffering from a lack of energy. Thus, Lin Xi's actions were proving to be a great help.
A good person!
Su Xi looked at Lin Xi with gratitude. To facilitate his attacks, she simply stood still, making it easier for him to strike. Missing an opportunity would be a waste.
These attacks were not powerful and were the best choice for her to absorb energy.
Lin Xi had exhausted every tactic within the formation, but it was all to no avail. Su Xi seemed to be enjoying a massage, showing no reaction.
Realizing his efforts were in vain, Lin Xi ceased his attack.
They had been fighting for so long; they were getting tired.
Seeing that they had stopped, Su Xi asked curiously, "Continue, please. A single burst of effort can defeat me. Wavering will achieve nothing."
Hearing the mockery in Su Xi's words, Lin Xi could not tolerate such an insult. Though nearly exhausted, he immediately rallied his men to attack again.
Feeling the dense barrage of attacks resume, Su Xi's face displayed an expression of enjoyment.
This was good!
Although these people couldn't provide a massive amount of power, they could offer temporary energy, enough to replenish what her body had lost.
"Ah, I can't go on," Lin Xi's soldiers, unable to endure the expenditure, cried out and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
They swore they had never been so exhausted in their lives.
As the first person fell, the others followed in succession.
Each one was drenched in sweat, their fingers too numb to move.
Su Xi frowned as the pleasant sensation on her body disappeared. She had just started to enjoy herself, and now it had stopped?
So, she couldn't help but remind them, "You can't slack off! I'm right here, keep going."
Hearing Su Xi's words, Lin Xi and the others were stunned into disbelief.
They had been angry at Su Xi, but now all their anger had vanished.
They were utterly out of strength and had no desire to waste any more.
At this point, even if Su Xi told them to die, they wouldn't have the energy to move.
They had fought in countless battles, lived and died for many years, but they had never experienced such exhaustion. This peculiar style of combat was something they had never encountered before.
They had no desire to experience it, nor did they want to continue feeling it.
Seeing all this, Su Xi didn't want the charging to stop so quickly.
So, she took out some pills from her person and fed one to each of the fallen individuals, thoughtfully giving them a sip of water. These were top-tier pills for replenishing energy, capable of restoring power rapidly with a single dose.
Indeed, as the pills went down, an expression of astonishment appeared on their faces, disbelief that this was real.
They had thought Su Xi was giving them poison to end their suffering. Who knew that after taking the pills, they felt their spiritual energy instantly return to normal?
The uncomfortable feeling from before was gone, replaced by an indescribable sense of comfort.
???
Everyone stood up and looked at Su Xi, unsure of her intentions.
Had she lost her mind to do something like this?
They were enemies, so why would she help them recover their strength?
It seemed like something no sane person would do.
Seeing that they had recovered, Su Xi smiled and said, "Now that you're all better, hurry up and attack. I'm waiting for you, don't be lazy."
The crowd looked at Su Xi, who seemed eager to be beaten, and were instantly speechless.
They had never encountered such a request before.
Why did she have such a peculiar fetish?
Although they didn't know what Su Xi was up to, they understood clearly that this was not the time to ponder such questions but to resolve the situation.
Since their spiritual energy had been restored, they couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.
Another volley of attacks ensued, leaving everyone with expressions of being ravaged, and they all collapsed on the ground, lifeless.
Watching them fall so quickly, Su Xi couldn't help but say, "You lot are no good, losing your strength so fast?"
Hearing Su Xi's taunt, Lin Xi could only close his eyes in resignation.
His entire body was now weak and sore, and he couldn't utter a single word.
They had thought the matter was settled, but when Su Xi brought out the pills again, they instantly knew things were far from over.
Why were they being fed pills again?
Su Xi gave them no chance to think and popped the pills into their mouths.
As the pills were swallowed, spurred by their effect, everyone's spiritual energy was instantly restored.
However, at this moment, they had no desire to attack. They stood still, unsure whether to proceed.
They now understood clearly that continuing to attack Su Xi would be futile and would only result in them being fed pills, leading them back into the same cycle.
They no longer wished to experience such a pointless endeavor.
As soldiers, they had their pride and would absolutely not allow themselves to become someone else's plaything.
Therefore, Su Xi's plan and arrangements were destined to fail.
Su Xi sensed that the group was no longer willing to act and smiled.
Since she had assigned them a task, she wouldn't let them do nothing.
She couldn't allow them to get away with doing nothing for free.
If these people were unwilling to attack, she would give them a stimulus to quickly recover.
Su Xi casually clapped her hands, and a beam of light appeared, enveloping everyone.
With the appearance of this light, Lin Xi and the others felt themselves surrounded by a stream of light. Countless tiny figures began to emerge, launching various attacks.
Each of these attacks struck Lin Xi and the others at their vital points, giving them no chance.
As these attacks were launched, Lin Xi and the others had no choice but to defend themselves.
They now understood that Su Xi was not joking; she would truly kill them.
They had no choice but to defend themselves.
After a fierce struggle, they felt themselves drained once more. And this time, the feeling was even more exhausting, making them wish for death.
If they had known it would be like this, they would have preferred to help Su Xi with a full-body massage.
Although tiring, at least there would be no danger to their lives.
Seeing them collapse on the ground again, Su Xi approached them and asked, "How are you now? Have you decided if you are willing to fight?"
"We are willing to fight." Lin Xi looked at Su Xi and felt utter helplessness.
Although they were unwilling to admit it, they now knew they had to submit.
Only then would they have a chance to survive.
"You are not bad," Su Xi smiled and fed them the pills she held.
As they swallowed the pills, they felt their spiritual energy begin to recover.
This time, they didn't need Su Xi to say anything. They suddenly accelerated their movements, treating Su Xi as a target for their frenzied bombardment.
With these attacks launched, the energy within Su Xi's body began to increase continuously.
In a short period, the energy within her body rapidly replenished, filling her up.
Once her body's energy was restored, Su Xi did not continue to have them attack.
Only by resolving the problem could the current situation be dealt with.
"Alright. You can all rest now," Su Xi said, then turned and walked towards the imperial palace.
After working for so long, she couldn't let anyone escape. After all, having expended so much effort, she couldn't miss out on these matters.
She had almost been unable to escape herself, so she certainly deserved some compensation.
"Who is it?"
Just as Su Xi was about to make her move, she suddenly noticed a man dressed in eunuch attire appear before her, blocking her path.
This eunuch was different from any she had seen before. He lacked the lewdness and coldness of typical eunuchs. Instead, he was tall and possessed an aura that ordinary people lacked.
Su Xi smiled at the person before her, "Are you trying to offer me a head?"
Su Xi didn't mind killing, she just didn't want to waste energy.
