" Shiyi, retreat!" Shen Laoqi felt his scalp tingling from being stared at through the barrier and immediately stood up and roared.
Shen Shiyi was taken aback, somewhat hesitant. He rarely saw his Seventh Brother so flustered, and he could also sense the terrifying aura of the eldest princess. Yet, his subconscious logic told him that the other side shouldn't be able to detect their presence, since the magic array could completely isolate their auras.
That one moment of hesitation, and the chance to escape was gone.
The difference in speed and reflexes between a sorcerer and a martial artist is dimensional. By the time Shiyi looked up to respond to his Seventh Brother, the figure that could only be seen through the Thousand Eyes Spell a second ago was already right in front of him.
She wore close-fitting soft armor, had an impressive figure, and walked past him step by step on flames, without even glancing at him.
But Shen Shiyi was still almost suffocating under that pressure. Cold sweat instantly soaked her back, and her legs were so weak that she didn't dare to move at all!
He finally understood what his sister-in-law had said: if you don't cultivate both magic and martial arts, you won't even have a chance to use the Divine Wind Spell against a top-tier martial artist.
Is this what a top-tier martial artist is like?
Shen Shiyi asked himself this question, and the answer was obvious. Every cell in his body was telling him: Don't move, don't try to escape using magic, or you will die!
"It's been a long time, Mr. Shen Qi!"
"It's been a long time, Your Highness!" Shen Laoqi took a deep breath to calm himself and bowed to her.
Xiao Mingyue nodded, then looked to the other side. There was clearly no one there, but as the princess looked over, a phantom appeared. The phantom was dressed in white and had a face that resembled Master Shen San, but it was clearly a woman, which startled the Shen Family.
" Princess White Jade?" Although Xiao Mingyue was standing below, her gaze was condescending.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Eldest Princess." The illusory figure bowed slightly.
"So, the one who destroyed his own country in pursuit of immortality?" Xiao Mingyue sneered. "Your true form isn't here, is it? No problem, I'll find you!"
The golden pupils gleamed with an irresistible sharpness, and across time and space, they made Princess White Jade was far away, turn deathly pale!
"Then this humble servant will await Your Highness's arrival!"
The illusory image dissipated, signaling the departure of a major force, leaving Shen Laoqi and the others with extremely complex feelings.
Princess White Jade did indeed come with a purpose, and it was fortunate that she did not succeed, otherwise, if she had taken the princess's body, it would have been a huge problem!
But on the other hand, even the trump card that Princess White Jade had prepared failed to harm the previous one, so how should they face him now?
Facing the vanished Princess White Jade, Xiao Mingyue didn't even bother to linger for a second. She had originally thought she would be one of her kind, but unfortunately, she was only good at cunning and lacked any domineering aura. Such an existence would ultimately only be a schemer.
Finally, my gaze naturally fell upon the young man who had dared to confront me at the beginning.
"Greetings, Aunt." Chen Qing smiled wryly and bowed again.
"Now... shall we submit?" the eldest princess asked directly.
Chen Qing paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"More cards?" The princess sneered, about to step forward, when suddenly, a shrill scream came from the outer perimeter, "Your Highness!"
The eldest princess was startled, then turned around abruptly. Shen Laowu?
Outside the barrier, a masked young general in silver armor, his entire body crackling with lightning, appeared out of nowhere, forcing Shen Laowu to flee in panic!
This was the first time she had heard Shen Laowu's voice so panicked. Clearly, the guy outside was very strong; she could sense it from his aura alone—he was on the same level as her, Lu Ming, and the Xiao Household emperor!
As expected, they have a license!
This Chen Qing is truly a pleasant surprise; he actually has someone like this serving him?
But how is that possible?
The reason why the three of them were so much stronger than ordinary people was because they had all received some of the secret teachings of the King of Qin of Qin back then. However, only the three of them survived after receiving the secret teachings. According to the King of Qin, after the demon statue was sealed, the ancient times would not descend, and there would never be such strong people in the world again.
Where did Chen Qing get it from?
Without time to think it through, the eldest princess immediately abandoned the idea of killing Chen Qing and his group and was about to return to their aid. After all, Shen Laowu was the key to controlling the zombie army, and he could not die!
But now that he's here, how could Chen Qing let him go?
"Second Master!!"
As Chen Qing roared, the surrounding barrier was instantly sealed by a strange rune. The princess looked into the distance through the source of the power and immediately saw that Shen Laoliu, who was being controlled by the Lao'er of the Shen Family, was outside with a ferocious expression!
Shen Shiyi and the others were stunned, completely unable to react, staring at Chen Qing in astonishment with expressions that said, "Are you crazy?!"
How could they lock such a vicious creature up with us?
"You're courting death!" the princess roared. She immediately realized that the barrier in front of her was a special sealing barrier, and the other party really wanted to lock her up!
In the confined space, the eldest princess, unleashing her full power, was unstoppable. Before the younger members of the Shen Family could even begin their spells, they were shattered by a single punch. Shen Laoqi, before he could even make a move, had his throat ripped out.
In the blink of an eye, several of the Shen Family's powerful sorcerers died a gruesome death!
This demonstrates the difference between a top-tier martial artist and a sorcerer at close range.
Chen Qing, who had just advanced to the First Rank by relying on the power of the Divine Path, barely managed to react, but he still couldn't escape the pursuit. He was grabbed like a chicken and his throat was sealed!
" First Rank martial artist!" The princess coldly stared at Chen Qing, who was being held by the throat. "I remember when you left the capital, the intelligence reports said you were just a scholar with no bloodline and no magic skills. In just one year, you not only have the spiritual power of First Rank sorcerer, but you also have the skills of First Rank martial artist. That's interesting!"
"Auntie, you flatter me." Chen Qing, her face flushed red from being choked, replied with difficulty.
The princess, jokingly referring to herself as a "good son-in-law," coldly said, "Open the barrier. As long as you are still willing to submit, my previous promise remains valid. How about it?"
"It's tempting, but no way." Chen Qing shook her head. "Auntie, using blood corpses to control the human world is wrong!"
Upon hearing this, the princess's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Whether I am right or wrong is not for you to judge!"
With a bang, the Golden Crow Fire erupted, and Chen Qing's flesh and blood were instantly vaporized. His powerful First Rank bloodline body was still extremely fragile under the Golden Crow Flame, and he turned to ashes in just one breath!
In an instant, only Xiao Mingyue remained alive in the entire barrier space.
"Um?"
With an overwhelming advantage, Xiao Mingyue looked at the spot where Chen Qing had turned to ashes with suspicion. Something felt off. Her decisive use of the assassin was partly because she didn't want to waste time arguing with the other party, and partly because she wanted to test where the other party's bottom line was.
This kind of small-space sealing is actually very easy for a calm martial artist to detect, but unfortunately the other party lured them in too well. Chen Qing herself was here, and the Shen Family members were also here. She never expected that the other party would turn this space into a sealing barrier.
Only a madman would lock up a top-tier martial artist with a group of sorcerers; it's no different from locking up a lion with a flock of ducks.
But they actually did it, and the key point is that it seems like they didn't have any backup plans.
After killing Chen Qing, the princess was immediately confused; this shouldn't be happening!
Could it be that someone else is behind Chen Qing, using this method of sacrifice to trap her?
Just then, something strange happened.
A sound that shouldn't have been there appeared again behind us.
Is Auntie wondering about something?
The princess turned around abruptly, and froze in shock.
The speaker was Chen Qing, and besides Chen Qing, there were all the Shen Family he had just killed!
The blood, flesh, and signs of destruction on the ground had all disappeared!
It was as if everything that had just happened was a hallucination.
"What did you do?" For the first time, the princess did not choose to act decisively again, but instead stared intently at the young man Chen Qing and asked.
"Why don't you take a guess, Aunt?" Chen Qing forced a smile on her pale face as she replied.
" Seventh Brother," Shen Shiyi approached Shen Laoqi and cautiously asked in a telepathic voice, "What exactly happened?"
"I don't know." Seventh Master Shen shook his head. "I didn't even know that Chen Qing had planned to use us as bait from the beginning. But then again, if we weren't used as bait, a shrewd woman like the Princess wouldn't have fallen for it."
So, where are we now?
"I don't know what kind of evil magic Chen Qing used," Shen Laoqi whispered, "But I know this method is definitely not without its price. I even have a feeling that if he makes a mistake, the rest of us could suffer a fate worse than death!"
