The aura on King Yu's body was constantly rising. Even his jet-black hair was fluttering despite the absence of wind. Surging true energy floated around his body, easily scattering the falling snowflakes.
Ji Chengxue felt goosebumps all over his body as he faced the pressure coming from King Yu's body. His cultivation was only at the fifth grade Battle-King level. Facing King Yu who had already broken through to the sixth grade Battle-Emperor level, he was still somewhat powerless.
"You want to kill me?" Ji Chengxue calmly asked.
King Yu's gaze was cold and merciless without the slightest trace of emotion. He expressionlessly looked at Ji Chengxue and said, "I've already warned you not to get involved in this mess. Otherwise, you'll have to pay a price you won't be able to bear …"
"You just won't listen."
Ji Chengxue grinned and took off the heavy overcoat on his body. A trace of hostility appeared on his face, which had always been gentle. This hostility made him look somewhat sinister.
"Ever since you were young, you've always been high and mighty. You think you're better than everyone else in everything, right? If you want to fight, then let's fight. In any case, we'll have to fight sooner or later, "Ji Chengxue sneered.
The true energy on his body began to fluctuate as well. He fiercely stomped his foot on the ground, causing the snowflakes covering the ground to scatter.
"Among us three princes, my cultivation level is the highest. What do you have to fight against me?" King Yu grinned as his figure instantly charged forward.
Bang bang bang!
The two of them were entangled in a chaotic battle. True energy continuously poured out as they collided, causing the surroundings to tremble. In this cold world of ice and snow, they were actually fighting fiercely.
However, Ji Chengxue was only a fifth grade Battle-King. There was still a gap between his strength and King Yu's. After spitting out a mouthful of boiling red blood, Ji Chengxue's figure continuously retreated and fiercely crashed into the wall, causing the entire wall to collapse.
King Yu coldly smiled as true energy enshrouded his palm. "Farewell, my little brother."
King Yu's gaze was merciless as he pushed out his palm toward Ji Chengxue who was within the ruins. King Yu was confident that Ji Chengxue would definitely die if this attack landed.
Ji Chengxue stared at King Yu with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth. It was said that the imperial family had no relatives, but it was truly heartless.
However, just as King Yu was about to kill Ji Chengxue with a palm strike, a wave of pressure suddenly spread out, causing King Yu's entire body to stiffen. Under that pressure, the palm strike he sent out also collapsed.
A figure walked over from the sky and appeared between King Yu and Ji Chengxue, blocking King Yu's palm strike.
"Xiao Meng? You want to stop me? "King Yu's pupils constricted as he looked at the newcomer in disbelief.
Didn't Xiao Meng say that the three princes didn't support him? Why did he appear at this moment to save Ji Chengxue? King Yu was a little angry because he knew that with Xiao Meng's appearance, he could forget about killing Ji Chengxue.
"Today, I will only act in my own name." Xiao Meng indifferently glanced at King Yu and said, "After all … I am his brother-in-law."
"You …" King Yu was furious. What kind of lousy excuse was that? If he wanted to save Ji Chengxue, he should have just said so. Why did he have to play the familial card?
"Chengxue, leave. I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with King Yu," Xiao Meng said.
Ji Chengxue crawled up from the ground and wiped away the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He gave Xiao Meng a profound look. He clearly did not understand why Xiao Meng would appear at this moment.
With his back facing Ji Chengxue, Xiao Meng softly said, "Don't worry, your sister is recovering very well."
Ji Chengxue was slightly startled, then a joyful expression appeared on his face. Even the pain from the injuries on his body was no longer as severe.
Xiao Meng's words revealed a piece of information, which was that his sister had awakened from her slumber. Perhaps this was the reason why Xiao Meng chose to make a move.
Ji Chengxue laughed heartily. He turned around and sped away, leaving this place.
King Yu took a step forward and reluctantly watched as Ji Chengxue left. However, the moment he moved, Xiao Meng's gaze fell on him. The heavy pressure from Xiao Meng caused his heart to involuntarily sink.
...
"My sister has awakened … That's great! Looks like the ingredients Xiao Yue gave to Owner Bu have been successfully cooked into an Elixir Cuisine. As expected of Owner Bu, he's truly amazing! "Ji Chengxue clutched his chest, but he was inwardly overjoyed.
The person he had always been concerned about was his sleeping sister. After finding out about Ji Ru'Er's plan, he looked forward to his sister's awakening even more.
Now that his sister had awakened, Ji Chengxue was so happy that he did not know what to say.
Suddenly, Ji Chengxue was startled. He raised his head and saw that the snowstorm was howling in the sky. However, not a single snowflake fell down. It was as if the fluttering snowflakes were separated by an invisible barrier.
What was going on? Ji Chengxue suddenly had a bad premonition. He slowly looked forward and discovered that there was actually a figure slowly walking toward him from afar.
A golden brilliance was circulating, auspicious and warm. With every step Zhao Musheng took, a ray of brilliance appeared. Every ray of brilliance was like a blooming golden lotus, dazzling and brilliant.
Ji Chengxue's pupils abruptly constricted. He felt as if his heart was tightly gripped by an invisible hand and he could not even breathe.
The soft chanting of Sanskrit echoed in his ears and his eyes were filled with a bright light. It was as if the light of Buddha was illuminating everything and enveloping Ji Chengxue.
"Zhao Musheng!" Ji Chengxue fiercely bit the tip of his tongue. The smell of blood permeated the air, causing him to suddenly sober up and clearly see the appearance of the person who was slowly walking toward him.
Zhao Musheng had a peaceful expression on his face. He was like a benevolent Buddha with a smile on the corner of his mouth as he calmly looked at Ji Chengxue.
"The crown prince sent you to kill me?" Ji Chengxue coldly said.
Zhao Musheng was one of the crown prince's men. For him to appear here at this moment, there could only be one explanation — the crown prince and King Yu had the same goal.
Sticking the posthumous edict had triggered the killing intent of his two brothers. Ji Chengxue felt a burst of anger erupting from the bottom of his heart, almost bursting out from the top of his head.
Zhao Musheng shook his head. His gaze was still calm as he indifferently said, "His Majesty is very smart and has always been on guard against me. I thought His Majesty would choose King Yu, but I didn't expect him to choose you. But that's fine too. It doesn't matter who he chooses … The one who ultimately ascends to the throne can only be the crown prince."
"You're really loyal! Cultivating the cultivation technique of the Mahayana Island yet worrying about the empire's Minister of the Left, aren't you tired? "Ji Chengxue sneered.
Zhao Musheng indifferently looked at the sneering Ji Chengxue and slowly raised his hand. Suddenly, true energy gushed out and actually condensed into a golden Buddha statue in front of him. The Buddha statue was emitting a gentle brilliance.
Zhao Musheng lightly formed a Buddhist seal with his fingers and then pushed it forward. The golden Buddha statue suddenly charged into the sky and slowly sat down, enveloping Ji Chengxue.
"Loyalty? If he had the same ambition as King Yu, then I wouldn't have helped him. It's precisely because he's weak that I support him. Do you … understand? "Zhao Musheng said with a smile.
"All I need is an obedient puppet …"
Pfft!
When Ji Chengxue heard these words, his entire body suddenly trembled. His body that was enveloped by the Buddha statue trembled and blood flowed out from his mouth and nose. His entire body went limp on the ground and he was on the verge of death.
Zhao Musheng slowly walked toward Ji Chengxue, who was lying limp on the ground, with a sigh that bemoaned the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind.
Suddenly, the long cry of a woman came from the sky. A jade talisman that was glowing brightly fell down and smashed toward Zhao Musheng.
Buzz!
Zhao Musheng's pupils constricted. He formed a Buddhist seal with his hand and deftly pushed it out, blocking the jade talisman. The jade talisman trembled and then glowed, forming a simple magic array. A terrifying true energy burst out from the magic array, causing Zhao Musheng to continuously retreat several steps.
"The Celestial Arcanum Sect … Spirit Divination Magic Array!" Zhao Musheng muttered and then narrowed his eyes to take a closer look.
A figure wrapped in a loose robe landed beside Ji Chengxue. With a wave of her fair jade-like hand, the Buddha statue was instantly covered in cracks and shattered inch by inch.
Then, Ji Chengxue was lifted up with a single hand.
"You old man, it's not good to be so ruthless …" After saying that, Ni Yan smiled at Zhao Musheng, then her figure shot out and disappeared.
Fang Fang's Little Store.
Bu Fang was curled up on a chair, holding a cup of hot water and sipping from it. Suddenly, a figure dashed into the store. Ni Yan appeared before him with her long and fair legs stretched out. She conveniently threw a figure covered in blood onto the ground.
"Owner Bu, this guy is the future emperor of the Light Wind Empire. However, he's about to die, you have to save him."
