532: Princess

In just a short while, Chen De had successfully approached the Commandery Princess's carriage.

The soldiers guarding the carriage nearby had all been Influenced by him, so a little noise wouldn't hurt.

He gently pushed open the carriage window and leaped inside immediately.

His movements were swift, and logically, he shouldn't have made a sound.

But Chen De's current weight was still too heavy; the moment he entered, the speed of the entire carriage slowed down slightly.

Especially since, at this moment, he was staring wide-eyed at the red-robed woman in front of him.

After sensing the movement in the carriage, the Commandery Princess immediately lifted her red veil.

And Chen De happened to look at her at that exact moment, their gazes locking instantly.

Thus.

"You are... Ah!"

As a flash of red light crossed the Commandery Princess's eyes, the Influence process upon her was completely finished.

"Don't move!"

Just then, a powerful Diamond Rank pressure suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire carriage.

An aged voice rang out inside the carriage.

"Commandery Princess, do not panic. I am here to ensure your safety on this journey."

Yes, Diamond Rank. The Commandery Princess had actually been escorted by Diamond Rank Magic Armor Masters throughout the journey.

The daughter of the mighty Regent King was marrying the heir of the Grand Generals Estate.

For such a major event, deploying Diamond Rank escorts was not an exaggeration at all.

Although no one thought anyone would dare to attack this convoy, it was better to be cautious.

After all, if any accident occurred midway, the ramifications would be immense.

Furthermore, in fact, there was not just one person escorting them in secret, but two.

The attention of these two Diamonds had been focused entirely on the carriage; they hadn't paid much attention to other areas.

Because in their view, with so many people guarding her, anyone wanting to reach the Commandery Princess would surely have to approach from the outside in, right?

Therefore, they monitored the carriage, believing that as long as the perimeter remained stable, there would be no issues.

Since the perimeter was fine, the two Diamonds subconsciously lowered their guard regarding the Commandery Princess.

But they never expected that among the trusted subordinates under the Regent King, there would be an insider traitor.

Was this the work of the other princes, or... was the Emperor behind it?

Thus, the moment Chen De entered, the Diamond inside immediately reacted and struck.

He had barely stepped in before their pressure descended upon him.

Unfortunately, they were still a step too late. The Commandery Princess was only Gold Rank, and Influencing her took only an instant.

By the time he reacted and took action, Chen De had already succeeded in Influencing her.

Two Diamond-colored magic armor descended from the sky, instantly tearing a large hole in the carriage roof.

"How audacious!"

"Brat, prepare to die!"

The two Diamond Rank Magic Armor Masters each spoke a phrase before simultaneously attacking Chen De.

A flicker of goodwill crossed Chen De's eyes. Killing them outright now would not benefit him much.

Fighting two against one, using the world-descending demonic blade would leave nothing but dust, wasting his internal resources.

And how would he send the Commandery Princess back safely? Wouldn't that make his efforts pointless?

Therefore, Chen De only planned to engage in a fierce battle with them for a while and then seize an opportunity to leave.

However, if he managed to take down one of them, Chen De could definitely advance to the platinum realm, and the Sheng Chu System would also improve.

Kill one!

As for how to kill one, he had already devised a strategy in a short amount of time.

He then returned to his normal size, as only then could he display his full strength.

Chen De took a few steps back from their combined attack, but he took the blow without suffering any damage.

"Oh, he's a giant?"

"Did you forget how the Giant Kingdom was destroyed beneath the iron cavalry of my Great Firmament back then?"

"Only a few lingering remnants remain, yet you dare to provoke my Great Firmament and lay hands on the Regent King's beloved daughter."

"You Giant Race truly have a death wish."

"We truly shouldn't have left you a sliver of hope back then, allowing your race to continue."

"I will truthfully report today's events when I return."

Seeing Chen De's suddenly enlarged body, the two Diamonds immediately thought of the Giant Race.

After all, normal humans cannot reach a height of over three meters.

The Giant Race, on the other hand, has an average height of around five meters.

The one before them, being only three meters tall, was either underage or mixed-blood.

One of the Diamond Rank Masters couldn't help but sneer, "So you're a mutt. Instead of hiding properly, you dare to come here and harbor wicked intentions toward the Commandery Princess."

Chen De gave him a deep look but did not speak.

Instead, he looked around, seemingly searching for a chance to escape.

"Alright, Mao Deng, stop the nonsense. This guy looks like he's trying to run."

Mao Deng waved his hand impatiently. "Relax. That was just a test. Does trash like this really think it can escape from me? Pipe dream!"

Having said that, he struck first, terrifying aura gathering on his Diamond-colored magic armor.

Wielding a large hammer, he smashed it down fiercely toward Chen De.

Even if the opponent were also Diamond realm, taking a hit like that would crack their magic armor.

And the Magic Armor Master inside would be severely injured by the force of the large hammer.

But Chen De's combat experience was extremely rich. Even though they were strangers and meeting for the first time.

He knew exactly what they were going to do the moment they made a move.

When the gap in combat experience is too large, only immense strength or incredible speed can bridge the difference.

Statistically, Chen De was only equivalent to an ordinary Diamond, but his combat experience and skill were far superior.

Furthermore, since Mao Deng used a heavy weapon like a hammer, his moves were even easier to predict.

Thus, based on his prediction, he easily dodged Mao Deng's attack.

And as he passed by him, he spat a mouthful of saliva onto his helmet.

Low on damage, high on insult!

This instantly enraged Mao Deng, who already looked down on giants, making him want to tear Chen De to shreds.

That was a giant! Did they know how much saliva a giant could produce in one mouthful?

While Mao Deng was stunned, the attack from the other Diamond followed immediately.

Chen De could have dodged this attack too, but he chose not to.

If he appeared too comfortable facing both attacks, his subsequent plan would be difficult to execute.

Taking the full brunt of the attack, Chen De feigned injury and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then he roared, "Since you want me dead, let your Commandery Princess die first."

With that, Chen De threw his ten thousand beast saber, aiming it directly at the Commandery Princess.

The Commandery Princess, being merely Gold Rank, definitely couldn't block a Diamond's attack.

The Diamond Master could only turn his attention to protecting the Commandery Princess, knocking the ten thousand beast saber away.

Taking advantage of this opening, even though Mao Deng had reacted, Chen De used the latter's clumsiness to find a gap and successfully escaped the area.

Mao Deng, however, seemed consumed by rage at this point, shouting, "Shi Xuan, watch the Commandery Princess! I'll be right back!"
