Translator: 549690339
The black-robed man made his move. He used the Soul Devouring Sky Erosion Palm. Boundless internal strength gathered in his palm and transformed into a huge black palm print. It turned into an arrow string and ruthlessly slapped towards the carriage.
Feng Jianxiu and the others lay on the ground. They pressed their palms against the ground and struggled to get up. They were too heavily injured and fell to the ground before they could lift their upper bodies. They shouted in despair and anger,” Stop!”
The palm print did not stop. Wherever it passed, a terrifying wind shot out, destroying everything.
Inside the car.
“Capture him alive!” the Crown Prince said calmly.
Whoosh!
Tens of thousands of golden lights bloomed and rushed out from the shadow. The golden shadow flashed and appeared outside the carriage. Looking at the huge palm print that was coming at him, its cold eyes burned with the flames of the sky. The previous mission failed and dragged him down, causing the Crown Prince to suffer a huge loss and was forced to apologize to the Empress. If it wasn’t for the Emperor’s intervention, the power on the surface would have been eliminated. Even Qing ‘er and Shuang’ er would have been sent to the Education Bureau. They were holding back their anger until now, and they were worried that they had no place to vent their anger. At this critical moment, Someone actually jumped out to assassinate him. No matter what their purpose was, they had to bear the wrath of ten thousand catties.
He didn’t dodge or dodge. Instead, he turned into a golden light and rushed forward. He raised his palm. It was a little smaller than the man’s. It was slender, fair, smooth, and flat. It was like a woman’s hand. Without using any martial arts, he simply shattered the palm print and landed on his chest.
Puff!
His ribs were broken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The black-robed man flew backward uncontrollably. He felt intense pain, but he didn’t seem to feel it. Instead, a smile appeared on his dark face, as if he was saying that it
was indeed so.
The golden shadow stepped forward and struck out with her jade-like hand, wanting to vent her anger on him.
The black-robed man was fearless.” Your Highness, you’ve hidden yourself well. Since I dared to attack, how could I not be prepared?”
With lightning speed, he took out a heaven-grade lightning talisman and tore it apart.
Buzz…
Lightning gathered and countless bolts of lightning swam around, forming a sea of lightning that descended from the sky, enveloping the surroundings and bombarding the carriage.
He slapped his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. Then, he used his secret technique, Blood Cloud Escape. With a flash of blood light, he rushed into the night.
The golden shadow’s expression was very ugly. If he wanted to give chase, he could take down the Crown Prince in one step. However, the sea of lightning would also devour the Crown Prince, so he had to stop. He mobilized his vital essence and struck out with both hands, forming a barrier that protected the carriage and the surrounding Flood Dragon Guards. He allowed the sea of lightning to fall and block them outside.
In the darkness.
Zhang Ronghua saw this scene. The last time he had caught a glimpse of it, the golden shadow had disappeared. This time, he saw it very clearly. He had cultivated some kind of profound Qi concealment technique, and his cultivation was extraordinary. He was at the tenth level of the Heaven Tier, and he didn’t seem human. His aura was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Frowning, he activated his Clear Spiritual Eyes.
Retracting the phenomenon and not emitting any fluctuations, he looked over again.
Just as he had guessed, it was indeed not human! It was actually a True Spirit-Phoenix. No wonder it felt familiar. Purple Cat had half of the Phoenix bloodline.
Seeing that the black-robed man was about to disappear, he withdrew his thoughts. Now was not the time to think about these things. He glanced at him. Although the Heaven -Grade Lightning Talisman was powerful, it was unable to harm a Heaven Tier elite. It silently left and chased after him.
A few breaths later.
The sea of lightning dissipated. All of it was blocked. Not a single bit of it spread out, and it did not affect the houses on the side.
He walked to the side of the carriage.
The golden shadow lowered his head and cupped his fists. He escaped.”
“It’s not your fault!” The Crown Prince’s cold voice came from inside.
The more so.
The golden shadow felt even more ashamed. This was already the second time. Because of his grievances, his jade-like hands were tightly clenched together as he respectfully guarded the side.
Hurried footsteps sounded.
The soldiers of the Fifth Division of City Defense arrived late. When they saw this scene, the leading officer was shocked. Someone had actually tried to assassinate the Crown Prince. He immediately imposed martial law and sealed off the surroundings. He then ordered people to search. No matter what, he had to find the murderer.
In the Imperial Palace.
In the God Cultivation Temple.
The Xia Emperor had not yet fallen asleep. He was drinking ginseng tea and reading a book when Wei Shang walked in from outside and gave a detailed account of what had happened in the city.
“Now you understand why I didn’t send anyone to protect you, right?”
“Your Highness, your methods are extraordinary.”
Emperor Xia put down his book and looked out the window. His gaze seemed to fall on the Eastern Palace.” As the crown prince, your temperament and political tactics are all passable. After so many years of management, you only have two grandmaster realm maids by your side. It doesn’t make sense that you don’t have any powerful people protecting you.”
It’s all under your control, Your Majesty,” Wei Shang sighed, impressed.
Emperor Xia shook his head.” Even if Qing Lin creates a profound technique to increase my lifespan, I won’t live for long. At most, I’ll live for a dozen years. That’s enough time to deal with internal and external problems. When that day comes, I’ll hand over the power. Even with the help of the power I left behind, if he doesn’t have the strength, it’ll be very difficult to intimidate these people!
If anything goes wrong, the foundations of Grand Xia will be destroyed.”
Wei Shang understood. He wasn’t afraid of the Crown Prince’s power, but he was afraid of his lack of ability.
Threatening His Majesty? To put it bluntly, he was not qualified enough!
If not, Emperor Xia would not have been able to sit in this position for so many years, as steady as Mount Tai, like a divine pearl that could calm the sea, intimidating the small forces in the dark, making all parties not dare to make any moves.
‘ Since Qing Lin can create a more advanced life cultivation method, perhaps she has a way to solve your problem, Your Majesty.”
The Xia Emperor was very open-minded. He smiled casually and said, ” I know my own situation. You don’t have to persuade me.. As long as the Xia Empire can be passed down safely, I can face the late Emperor calmly!”
