The taller figure knew that even a cornered rat was dangerous, so naturally he wanted to do this as safely as possible.
If he were to attack the princess when she was backed into a corner like this, she might lose all reason and sacrifice her life for his. That was not a situation he wanted to see.
However, if he were to taunt her until she lost her reasoning and wildly charged him, it would naturally be much easier for him to take care of her. Which was exactly what he had done.
Seeing her ignore all sense of reasoning and just wildly attack him, the tall figure didn't panic at all as he stood there calmly.
The shorter figure had thought that she would be able to use her stronger cultivation to take care of the taller figure since she was after all stronger, but that wasn't the case. When she approached the taller figure, the taller figure didn't do anything else as he only gave a single snap of his fingers. Once the snap rang out, the ground in front of him suddenly rose and a spike made of rock flew out right at the smaller figure to stab at her sword, knocking her flying.
The shorter figure had a look of shock when this happened since she never expected to be defeated this easily.
After all, she was clearly at a higher level of cultivation compared to this man. Even if she had been injured and couldn't use her full strength, she still should have been able to defeat him easily.
But now not only had her attack failed, she had even been easily knocked away.
If he could easily knock her away now, what would she be able to do now that she was even weaker?
Her power had been slowly draining since she had been injured, that strike had been her final ditch strike and now she had nothing else she could do.
The taller figure was also clear on this, so he slowly walked over with a smile on his face.
The smaller figure moved back when she saw this, but how could she escape while injured?
Eventually the taller figure came over and stood in front of her, looking down at her for a bit before shaking his head and saying, "It really is a pity to kill you now. Perhaps, I should play with you a bit before I kill you."
The smaller figure trembled when she heard this and she shouted, "You dare! Do you know what you are doing right now!"
The taller figure didn't care as he snapped his fingers again. This time, there was a small little fairy made of dirt that appeared on his shoulder and the little fairy raised his arms, creating tendrils of dirt that came out of the ground that wrapped around the four limbs of the smaller figure, lifting her with her limbs spread in front of the taller figure.
The taller figure came forward and with one swift motion, he ripped the cloak off the smaller figure to reveal her true appearance.
What was revealed was a short girl who was only four foot eleven, but her figure was one that definitely didn't fit her height. She had curves in all the right places and on her chest were mountains of pudding, ripe for the taking. Other than her figure, her appearance and aura were also all perfect. She had blonde hair that was done in pigtails and piercing blue eyes that could see into one's soul.
If Lin Fan was here, he would have to admit that this girl was one that could even match Angela. However even if that were the case, he would never actually admit it since Angela was number one in his eyes.
When the tall figure saw her appearance, he couldn't help drooling a bit as he said, "I've heard tales of the beauty of the seventh princess, but I've never imagined that they would all fail to describe it. I'm going to enjoy this."
The tall figure took a step forward towards the girl with his hand stretched out in a lewd manner.
The seventh princess saw this and tried to move back or break free, but the tendrils of dirt holding her were much too strong. This little fairy might have seemed weak, but it was actually in the Planet Realm just like her, which meant that even at full strength, it wasn't certain that she would be able to defeat it.
But before the taller figure's hands could reach her, there was a skeletal hand that had come out of the ground and grabbed that outstretched hand, stopping it from moving any further.
The taller figure tried to break free, but he soon found that the skeletal hand had a grip around him that was too strong for him to break.
The taller figure looked around before shouting, "Who is it? What kind of person are you that you have to ambush someone like this?"
But there was no answer to his question.
Or rather, the only answer he received was another skeletal hand that was much bigger this time that also came out of the ground before falling down on the taller figure.
The little fairy on the taller figure's shoulder quickly raised its hands and there was a wall of dirt that came up to protect the taller figure, however that didn't make a single difference. The large skeletal hand completely crushed the dirt wall and the taller figure that was underneath it, smashing them both into the ground and perfectly burying that taller figure. However, the skeletal hand did then dig out the taller figure's head and kept it above the dirt.
The seventh princess didn't know what had just happened and looked around cautiously as she asked, "Hello, is someone there?"
After a few seconds, there was a ripple in the air before a layer of darkness appeared, opening up to reveal Lin Fan, Momonga, and Angela standing over the taller figure buried in the ground.
…
Going back a few minutes, Lin Fan's group had been watching the entire thing.
While the two cloaked figures had been struggling, they had just stood there watching the entire time, not doing a single thing. After all, this alliance was only a fake alliance, with both sides just using each other. They all knew that they would betray each other in time, so if the other side were to take care of themselves, why would they bother to interfere?
However, when he heard the things that the taller figure had said, Lin Fan couldn't help feeling a strange impulse deep down inside him. It was an impulse that was telling him to save the smaller figure.
When the smaller figure had finally been pushed down and was about to be violated, Lin Fan couldn't take it anymore and said, "Save her."
Neither Momonga and Angela were both surprised by what he had said, after all, they knew that this was something that was good for them.
The two of them looked at each other before Momonga said, "Are you sure? It's better if they kill each other. Sure I feel sorry for the little girl, but this is just how the world is sometimes. At least she'll feel nothing in death."
Lin Fan turned to look at him and this time, he didn't word it like a question as he said in a determined tone, "Save her, now."
Momonga and Angela were both taken aback by this. They had never seen Lin Fan talk like this, or at least he had never talked to them like this before.
Still neither of them did a thing since they knew what the best course of action was.
Lin Fan was still young and inexperienced compared to them, so it only made sense that he would still let his emotions get the best of him. They understood this, but that didn't mean that they would indulge him in this.
Lin Fan saw that neither of them were moving and feeling the tense atmosphere, he finally gave a sigh and lowered his head to say, "Please, save her."
Momonga and Angela didn't know what was going on, but since Lin Fan was even lowering his head to ask this of them, they had no other choice.
Angela was about to head out to take care of the taller figure, but Momonga reached his hand out and said, "Stop, I'll do it. You don't know how to hold back and you might kill him if you do this. There's a few things I want to ask them anyway."
After that, Momonga raised his hand and the skeletal hands had appeared out of the ground.
…
Now back in the present, the small girl looked on in shock at Lin Fan's group when they had appeared. Never would she have imagined that the people who had saved her would be the group that had inexplicably shown up and crashed the trial.
But that didn't stop her from feeling grateful.
When she was about to thank them, Momonga suddenly kicked the taller figure's head and said, "Wake up, I have questions for you."
The taller figure woke up, but the first thing he did was scream in pain since the skeletal hand had crushed every bone in his body.
Momonga naturally didn't have patience for this, so he raised his hand and said, "Death."
In just a single instant, the taller figure stopped screaming. In fact, every part of his body stopped as he had died just like that.
