The Crown Prince's Fury
The three figures Jade Qi Realm also moved at the same instant.
Although their reaction was a beat slower than Zhong Wuzhu's, it was still surprisingly fast.
The martial artist, who had reached the initial Jade Qi Minor Accomplishment, reached out with his right hand to his waist, and his long sword was drawn with a clang.
The blade was extremely long and narrow, like an elongated Willow Leaf, with a faint jade-like luster flowing across it, extending from the hilt to the tip.
With a stomp of his foot, his figure became a jade-colored afterimage flying close to the ground, his long sword leaving a trail of sparks on the ground as he slashed at Xi Mu from the side.
At the same time, the two martial artists Initial Jade Qi stood on the left and right, their Qi and Blood surging like a tide.
The man on the left threw out both fists simultaneously, the jade light on the tips of his fists surging, and the fist energy emitted a deep, resonant hum as it pierced the air, traversing great distances to strike Chen Lingxi directly!
The man on the right leaped into the air, his legs kicking out in rapid succession like two steel whips, each kick carrying the power to shatter metal and split rocks. The shadows of his legs wove together a dense, impenetrable net, Chen Lingxi.
These people work together extremely well!
Zhong Wuzhu, with his strongest Jade-Suppressing Treasure Body, charged head-on, while a longsword warrior with Jade Qi Minor Accomplishment restrained Xi Mu from the side, and two warriors who Initial Jade Qi blocked Chen Lingxi's retreat.
The timing, angle, and force of each of the four strikes were perfect, with almost no overlap or gap between them.
The fist and leg strikes of the two martial artists Initial Jade Qi had already reached within three zhang of Chen Lingxi.
The jade-colored fist energy was scorching hot, and the leg movements were sharp, stirring up the surrounding air into chaos.
His robes were whipped backward by the strong wind, and the stray hairs beneath his mask were blown into disarray.
He didn't even frown.
He only slightly opened his mouth.
"Oh!"
The Dragon Roar Technique was activated.
It was like a dragon's roar!
The sound did not spread outwards, but instead condensed into an invisible pillar of sound, precisely striking the ears of the two martial artists Initial Jade Qi.
The two men felt a sharp pain in their eardrums and a constant ringing in their heads, as if someone had struck a heavy bronze bell inside their brains.
The sound emanated from within, exploding deep within their skulls, causing their blood and Qi and Blood to stagnate, and their punches and kicks to slow down involuntarily.
One of them even let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
The Dragon Roar Technique, at the Subtle Insight level, not only intimidates the body, but also the mind, will, and soul.
That brief moment of hesitation is the rift between life and death.
Chen Lingxi moved within the crack.
He drew his sword!
The moment the Gold-Slaughtering Saber was drawn from its sheath, the world was suddenly illuminated.
The lightning, azure light, and purple qi aura on the blade intertwined, condensing into a nearly tangible four-foot-long blade aura.
Where the blade's energy passed, the air was silently cleaved open, leaving behind an extremely fine and faint vacuum crack.
At the same time, a slight movement of consciousness occurred.
"Hold off Zhong Wuzhu!"
Xi Mu had already won his master's favor.
At the very instant Chen Lingxi his sword, the Undying Willow Puppet moved silently.
In a flash, he stood in front of Zhong Wuzhu, and as his spiritual energy surged, the mist within a radius of several dozen feet rushed towards him like rivers flowing into the sea.
He raised his right hand and made a sweeping motion in the Void, and the surging mist suddenly condensed, transforming into an ice wall that was ten feet thick and over three feet high.
The ice wall stood tall and imposing, its surface radiating a chilling aura that froze the withered grass within several meters around it into a ghastly white expanse.
Zhong Wuzhu's powerful and heavy ramming forcefully struck the ice wall.
With a deafening roar, ice shards rained down, and the ice wall, over ten feet thick, shattered into pieces, cracks spreading in all directions from the point of impact.
Although the ice wall shattered, Zhong Wuzhu's figure faltered slightly.
He snorted angrily, clenched his right fist, and the Jade Astral Cloud beneath his jade armor spun wildly. With a single punch, he blasted the remaining ice wall into dust.
But Xi Mu's second spell had already arrived. The mist suddenly condensed beneath Zhong Wuzhu's feet, transforming into countless ice chains as thick as a child's arm, which wrapped around his legs like living creatures.
Chen Lingxi slashed down with his longsword, causing the first person with the Jade Qi Realm aura to falter and be forced to retreat.
Chen Lingxi swayed for a moment, then vanished like a wisp of smoke.
He dodged the fist energy blasted by the martial artist on his left. The fist energy grazed his robe and slammed into a rock several feet behind him, about half a person's height, shattering the rock into pieces that flew like rain.
He dodged the flying kick from the warrior on his right, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his whole body twisted in the air in a strange arc, passing through the impenetrable net of legs.
At the same time, he raised his left hand, making a loose clenching motion with his five fingers in Void.
[Qi-Sea Vortex]!
The Qi-Sea Vortex suddenly erupted, and an overwhelming suction force surged from his palm.
The suction force was invisible and intangible, yet incredibly heavy, like an unseen giant hand descending from the sky, descending upon one of the martial artists who Initial Jade Qi realm.
Just as the martial artist was about to turn around and give chase, he was enveloped by this suction force. He felt his whole body suddenly become heavy, as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, and his legs involuntarily slowed down by half a beat.
That one beat was enough to decide his life or death.
At that moment, Chen Lingxi flipped the Gold-Slaughtering Saber in his right hand.
The blade slashed diagonally from the lower right to the upper left with incredible speed, drawing a beautiful yet terrifying three-colored arc in the night.
The Jade Qi Realm didn't even have time to see the trajectory of the blade light. It instinctively pushed its jade-like Qi and Blood to the limit, condensing a thick jade-like Qi and Blood barrier in front of it.
The barrier seemed indestructible, but it was as thin as a sheet of paper in the face of the sharpness of the Purple True Treasure Aura and the Azure Edge Method.
With a soft hiss, the barrier was silently cleaved open by the blade.
The martial artist shuddered, looking down at the massive knife wound on his chest that ran diagonally from his ribs to his shoulder.
One of them, Initial Jade Qi, died.
Chen Lingxi killed the man with a single stroke, but he didn't even have time to catch his breath.
The martial artist on the left, Initial Jade Qi, pounced from behind him.
At the same time, the longsword warrior who Jade Qi Minor Accomplishment also moved.
He had been blocked by Xi Mu's ice wall for a moment, but now he had broken through the last ice barrier. His figure, like a jade-colored afterimage flying close to the ground, rushed out from the mist that had not yet dissipated.
He raised the Willow Leaf -shaped longsword high in his hand, its jade-like luster flowing like boiling water. With a single slash, the blade's energy descended like a jade-colored waterfall from the sky, crashing down on Chen Lingxi's head.
The two attacked together, one in front and one behind, one above and one below, blocking all of Chen Lingxi's escape routes.
Chen Lingxi did not retreat.
He lightly tapped the still-standing corpse with his right foot, shattering it into pieces. Using the force of the impact, he darted away, narrowly avoiding the direct force of the fist attack from the Initial Jade Qi martial artist behind him.
However, the aftershocks of the fist still struck his back.
He felt a tightness in his back, a slightly sweet taste in his throat, and almost vomited blood.
He forcefully suppressed the blood pressure, twisted his body in mid-air, and dodged the jade-colored blade energy that was about to strike him down.
The blade grazed his right shoulder, slicing off a large section of his robe and revealing the skin beneath.
The blade's energy slashed at the spot where he had just stood, splitting the boulder in two. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and stone dust fell in a flurry.
Chen Lingxi landed on the ground, and before she could even stand up, the martial artist who Initial Jade Qi pounced on her again.
This man was clearly in a killing frenzy, unleashing a barrage of punches that aimed directly at Chen Lingxi's throat, heart, and temples.
Each punch contained the full cultivation of a martial artist who Initial Jade Qi. When the fist energy broke through the air, it emitted a deep, resonant hum, stirring up the surrounding air into chaos.
Chen Lingxi retreated seven steps.
Each step he took landed in the gap between the opponent's punches and their final moments. By the seventh step, his back had already struck a protruding rock.
Seeing that he had nowhere to retreat, the martial artist's eyes flashed with murderous intent intent. He gathered all the strength in his right fist and punched Chen Lingxi's face.
"Die!"
This punch was powerful and heavy; even before the fist's force arrived, the wind from the punch had already caused the stray hairs under Chen Lingxi's ghostly face to stand on end.
Chen Lingxi suddenly stopped retreating.
He raised his left hand, his five fingers making a loose clench in the Void.
The Qi-Sea Vortex suddenly erupted, and an overwhelming suction force surged from his palm.
The suction force deflected the incoming fist energy from the martial artist by several inches.
The fist grazed Chen Lingxi's ear and slammed into the rock behind him, shattering it into pieces and sending fragments flying like rain.
The martial artist's punch missed, and his body involuntarily leaned forward.
In that instant, Chen Lingxi's right hand moved, wielding the long sword.
The blade swept diagonally from the lower right to the upper left, so fast that only a three-colored afterimage was reflected in the martial artist's pupils.
The blade flashed across his throat, jaw, and face, emerging from the top of his head with a fine mist of blood.
The martial artist froze on the spot, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.
Then his body split open from the middle, collapsing to both sides, and blood gushed out, staining the rocks beneath his feet a dark red.
Another one has died.
Chen Lingxi killed the man with a single stroke, but he didn't even have time to catch his breath.
Just then, he suddenly turned his head.
A jade-colored blade of energy silently slashed from behind him.
The blade's aura was so concealed that it didn't even create a whistling sound when it was drawn, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows finally revealing its fangs.
The sinister face of the Jade Qi Minor Accomplishment warrior, who had reached the initial stage of jade cultivation, was faintly visible behind the flash of the blade, and a sinister smile even appeared on his lips.
Chen Lingxi's pupils contracted slightly, and she jumped up, bending her knees.
[Qi-Flow Eruption] Under the Mystery Mechanism, Chen Lingxi's body floated up at an astonishing speed.
At the same time, a Spiritual Arrow flashed, revealing its sharpness, bypassing the man's front and piercing between his ribs!
The swordsman groaned, a sharp pain shooting through his right side, and his grip on the sword involuntarily loosened.
Chen Lingxi had been waiting for this moment.
With the Qi-Flow Eruption, Chen Lingxi in the Void changed his angle strangely and rushed forward seven or eight zhang. At the same time, he raised his left hand, his index and middle fingers joined together like a sword!
The sharpness of the Azure Edge Method, having reached the Subtle Insight level, condensed at his fingertips into a nearly tangible azure sword aura, hissing softly.
He raised his hand, flicked his finger, and casually flicked it towards the martial artist's brow as if flicking a small petal off his clothes!
The azure light shot out from the fingertip with incredible speed, leaving an extremely thin and faint azure mark in the air before silently disappearing into the martial artist's brow.
The martial artist shuddered, his eyes widened suddenly, and a hole the thickness of a finger appeared between his eyebrows.
Blood gushed from the hole, flowing down his nose and dripping onto the blood-stained rocks at his feet.
The three ordinary Jade Qi Realm perished here.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Chen Lingxi landed, withdrew her fingers, and absorbed the remaining green light into her body before turning away.
Zhong Wuzhu is still locked in combat with Xi Mu.
This figure, whose Jade Qi Perfection was at its peak, was indeed extremely powerful. With the activation of his Jade-Suppressing Treasure Body, he was like a true jade-carved deity. Every punch he threw had immense power, and wherever his fist passed, even a small hill would be blasted open.
The ice walls, ice shields, and ice spears that Xi Mu created were as fragile as paper in front of him; they shattered with a single punch and crumbled with a single kick.
However, Xi Mu held him back tightly, making it impossible for him to break free.
As he watched the three men die one by one, he flew into a rage and let out a deafening roar.
The roar contained the full power of Jade Qi Perfection Qi and Blood. The sound wave spread outwards like an invisible giant hammer, shaking the trees in the mountains and forests. It shattered the ice spears that Xi Mu had just condensed, and made the rocks within a radius of dozens of feet hum.
Chen Lingxi didn't even frown, but strode towards him with steady steps, drawing his Gold-Slaughtering Saber once more.
He poured most of the spiritual energy he had accumulated in his Qi Sea into the blade without reservation.
The precious sword ignited at that moment, and the three-colored sword energy condensed into a flickering blade of light on its blade.
Just then, Xi Mu, having understood his master's intentions, stopped using ice walls and ice shields to fight Zhong Wuzhu and suddenly changed his magic.
He clasped his hands together in front of him, his fingers interlaced, and as his spiritual energy surged, the swirling mist around him suddenly changed.
The originally scattered and formless mist was now stretched and woven by an unseen hand, turning into dozens of mist chains as thick as a child's arm.
The chains wrapped around Zhong Wuzhu from all directions, encasing him in layers upon layers.
Zhong Wuzhu's eyes widened in anger as he activated his Jade-Suppressing Treasure Body, attempting to break free.
The Jade Astral Cloud within his body spun wildly, and jade-like Qi and Blood gushed forth from every pore of his body, shattering the misty chains binding him.
Xi Mu did not seek to Zhong Wuzhu for long with this fog-binding technique, but only for a moment.
A moment will suffice.
Chen Lingxi had already approached within three feet of Zhong Wuzhu.
This distance is too close.
He clenched his left hand into a fist, and the Qi and Qi and Blood of the Jade-Qi Realm erupted from deep within his bones.
The jade-like Qi and Blood and qi within his body erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time, transforming into a terrifying and immense force that condensed on the longsword.
One strike, and the Jade-Suppressing Treasure Body was shattered!
Then came another punch!
This punch landed squarely on Zhong Wuzhu's chest!
Zhong Wuzhu a muffled groan and spat out blood.
But Chen Lingxi's offensive showed no signs of abating!
Purple True Treasure Aura!
The purple light, like a bolt of purple lightning, pierced precisely into Zhong Wuzhu's chest!
The purple light entered the shattered Treasure Body and disappeared into Zhong Wuzhu's body.
Zhong Wuzhu trembled violently, and a mouthful of scalding blood gushed from his throat!
Then... this Crown Prince Martial Master, this powerful figure with Jade Qi Perfection, this being who had cultivated the Jade-Suppressing Treasure Body and was comparable to a cultivator at the Qi Circulation Sixth Floor, suddenly collapsed to his knees, his knees slamming into the rocks, shattering them into pieces.
Chen Lingxi looked down at him, his right hand already holding the long sword high.
He swung his sword and brought it down.
Zhong Wuzhu's head rolled to the ground!
All four Jade Qi Realm perished at this point.
In the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, Ying Chi, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
His eyes flashed with murderous intent!
"Chen Lingxi!"
