"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As the two of them fought, the buildings on the street collapsed one by one.
A black and a red figure shuttled back and forth amidst the rising dust.
Teng Yue flicked his spear on the ground, sending pieces of stone slabs flying toward the empress. However, they were turned into dust by her jade-like palms.
"Purple Thunder!" Teng Yue shouted as the spear in his hand turned into a Z-shaped bolt of lightning and struck at the empress.
The empress continued to resist with her bare palms. Shockwaves rippled in the air and swept in all directions, causing another building to collapse.
Ren Baqian was dazzled by the battle. The purple pattern on the empress's face was so beautiful that it made his heart palpitate incessantly. He wanted to sing a song, but he lacked an erhu.
"How much of Teng Yue's strength has recovered?" Ren Baqian asked Xi Wanya. With his eyesight, he could only watch the show and couldn't see much. Most of the time, he couldn't even see the figures clearly.
Occasionally, he would see the empress's red clothes fluttering in the wind. Her skin was covered with purple patterns, which made her look mysterious and beautiful.
"I can't tell, but it's at least 80 percent! Maybe even 90 percent! "Xi Wanya said in a deep voice.
"What are the chances of winning, Your Majesty?"
"Swallow the Mountain!" Teng Yue shouted again as the spear in his hand turned into a giant golden python. It bared its snow-white teeth and opened its mouth to swallow the empress.
The empress didn't seem to know how to dodge. From the start of the battle until now, she hadn't retreated or dodged at all. Ren Baqian recalled watching the empress fight with the Spirit Wheel experts from Tianjing Basin. She didn't seem to dodge at all and mostly fought hard with her bare palms.
At this moment, the empress twisted her slender waist in the air, turned half a circle, and waved her fingers up and down as if she was tearing something apart. Before the golden python in the air could even touch the empress, it was immediately torn apart from its mouth and turned into golden specks of light.
A spear flew back into Teng Yue's hand.
"Prison Suppression!" Teng Yue caught the spear with one hand, spun it half a circle in the air, and bent the body of the spear into the shape of a bow. Before the spear even landed, the air below the spear was pushed to the sides, and a gully even appeared on the ground.
In Ren Baqian's eyes, he didn't see a spear strike. Instead, he saw a black mountain sitting on the tip of the spear and pressing down on the empress.
Boom!
Both parties collided again, and the empress was smashed down from the sky, creating a huge crater on the ground.
The black mountain in the sky disappeared. Teng Yue's spear bounced up high, drew a big circle behind him, and shot straight down at the empress.
Ren Baqian's heart tightened.
However, at this moment, the empress was in the pit and couldn't see anything.
Teng Yue went down quickly, but he came up even faster. As he somersaulted, he flew upward and completed a 3,600-degree free turn in the air before he regained his balance. Blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.
A red figure soared into the sky and collided with Teng Yue again.
Ren Baqian's palms were sweating as he watched from below.
In theory, the empress shouldn't be weaker than Teng Yue. After all, Teng Yue was still injured and hadn't fully recovered. However, this was only in theory. No one knew if Teng Yue had any trump cards.
Moreover, in a battle between experts, victory or defeat was determined by a fine line. Being weaker didn't mean that one wouldn't lose.
Fortunately, both of them were equal in strength. Even if there was a fine line between victory and defeat, their lives wouldn't be in danger.
Ren Baqian still had Xi Wanya and the others on his side. Even though they were all seriously injured, it shouldn't be a problem to restrain Teng Yue. Even if the empress lost, her life wouldn't be in danger.
"Stop pulling!" Ren Baqian slapped the hand that was tugging at his clothes. It was a tender and smooth little hand.
Ren Baqian turned his head and saw Lin Qiaole sitting behind him. Her face was covered in dirt, and she was drooling as she stared at the bag of sweets hanging on his waist.
He grabbed a handful of sweets for Lin Qiaole. Ren Baqian turned his head and saw a red figure being smashed down.
Boom!
"Heaven's net!" Teng Yue shouted. It was as if countless meteors appeared in the sky and smashed toward the empress.
In fact, they were countless spear shadows that emitted a golden glow.
Clang, clang, clang, clang …! The sound of metal colliding could be heard coming from the huge pit.
"Earth Net!" Teng Yue's voice was heard. A golden ray of light that was far more dazzling than the other spear shadows pierced straight into the earth.
Ren Baqian immediately felt a violent tremor coming from under his feet.
"Not good!" Xi Wanya's expression changed. Without thinking, he grabbed Ren Baqian's clothes and jumped out.
Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were also brought away by Zong Shen and Qing Ping.
Just as everyone left the ground, the ground was covered with countless cracks. Following which, spear energy shot up into the sky.
This area was filled with streaks of spear energy.
Bang! Teng Yue collided with the empress again, but this time, he was charging toward everyone like lightning.
"Where do you think you're going?" Xi Wanya shouted. The long saber on his back appeared in his hand, and a snow-white saber light swept up like a waterfall from the bottom to the top.
When he made his move, he threw Ren Baqian toward Qing Ping.
However, at this moment, Teng Yue's spear tapped on the saber light. His body made a turn and swept past Teng Yue.
"Not good!" Qing Ping shouted angrily, but it was already too late.
Ren Baqian was originally thrown into the air. Fortunately, he was used to being thrown and didn't panic. Just as he expected, a big hand grabbed his collar and caught him. However, why was he getting further and further away from everyone?
"Teng Yue! You are one of the top experts in the world. How could you do such a thing? Why aren't you putting Principal Ren down? "Qing Ping grabbed Hong Luan and landed on a pile of rubble while shouting at Teng Yue.
Ren Baqian, "…???"
F * ck, I was caught by this old bastard Teng Yue?
The person behind me is Teng Yue?
Ren Baqian's forehead was immediately drenched in sweat, and his heart felt as if it was being squeezed tightly by a big hand.
"Let him go!" The empress bounced up again as soon as she landed and chased after them.
"Qi Zixiao, you better stop. Otherwise, I will strangle him now." Teng Yue's gloomy voice sounded behind Ren Baqian.
"I'm finished!" Ren Baqian felt like cursing ten thousand times.
Following Teng Yue's words, Ren Baqian finally landed on the ground, but he felt that his legs were a little weak.
"Teng Yue, what are you trying to do?" the empress asked coldly as she landed about 50 meters away from them.
The empress's current condition wasn't too good. Many parts of her body were broken, revealing blood-red wounds.
"You actually stopped. It seems like you value this fellow quite a lot!" Teng Yue laughed mischievously. "It's just that I feel that if we fight to the death, I won't be able to leave with so many of you here."
"If you hurt him, even if I have to go to the ends of the earth, I will still kill you and dismember you into a thousand pieces."
Ren Baqian, "…"
Your Majesty, aren't you telling the other party that I'm a good handle?
Should I ask Your Majesty to leave me alone and take revenge for me, or should I ask Your Majesty not to be impulsive?
"Hehe!" Teng Yue laughed mischievously behind Ren Baqian. Even without turning his head, Ren Baqian could hear the meaning behind these words.
Soon after, he felt himself being thrown backward. Following which, he felt a sharp pain in his body as a spear nailed him to the wall.
After being nailed to the wall by a spear, Ren Baqian felt his vision turn black and almost fainted from the pain. Even though the spear didn't pierce his vital points, it did pierce through the area below his shoulder blade. The waves of pain stimulated his brain.
Teng Yue stood two meters in front of Ren Baqian and said calmly, "Qi Zixiao, what are you going to do now?"
"What are you going to do now?"
"I will definitely kill you!" The empress's voice was filled with murderous intent.
"Since you are going to kill me anyway, it doesn't matter if this fellow lives or dies. Coincidentally, I hate that mouth of his, so I might as well tear it apart!" Teng Yue laughed heartily.
"How dare you!" The empress glared at him and subconsciously took a step forward.
"Don't move!" Teng Yue slapped the shaft of the spear with the back of his hand. The spear was immediately nailed in a few centimeters, and the pain made Ren Baqian's vision turn black.
"Teng Yue, you are simply courting death." Xi Wanya, Qing Ping, and the others caught up and glared at Teng Yue.
"Why don't you slap yourself with your palm and lower your strength by 30%, then we can fight again? With so many of you around, I can feel at ease. "Teng Yue looked at the empress and laughed.
The empress stared at him in silence.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" Xi Wanya hurriedly shouted.
"Alright!" The empress raised her palm.
"Your Majesty!" Everyone cried out.
The empress stared intently at Teng Yue … as well as Ren Baqian, who was behind him.
"Attract his attention!" Ren Baqian mouthed. Even though he was in so much pain that his vision turned black, he didn't make any sound.
"Your Majesty!" Everyone was still shouting.
"Noisy!" The empress slapped her palm to the side, and a gust of air immediately sent Xi Wanya flying.
"Good! Good! Not bad, you're indeed loyal and sentimental! "Teng Yue laughed loudly when he saw this.
"Hmm?" Just as Teng Yue was laughing, he suddenly felt that something was amiss behind him. He swatted his palm behind him, but unexpectedly, he missed.
He slammed into the wall behind him, smashing it into pieces.
But he was gone … and so was his gun …
"…???"
Xi Wanya, "…"
Qing Ping: "…"
Zong Shen: "…"
Lin Qiaole: "…"
Qingyun Sword and Zuo Cheng: "…"
Except for Teng Yue, everyone clearly saw Ren Baqian disappear from the wall with Teng Yue's gun …
