Joy of Life: Me, the Second Prince? Summon Yuan Tiangang!

"You... what kind of martial art do you practice? This is definitely not a technique from the Seven Kingdoms!" Bai Yifei's voice was somewhat hoarse. He could sense that the power Li Chengze had just used was completely different from the internal energy he knew. That power was more condensed, more domineering, as if it did not belong to this world.

"I told you, my world is beyond your imagination." Li Chengze slowly withdrew his right hand, placing it behind his back, looking down at Bai Yifei. "The first move is over. You have two more chances."

Bai Yifei gritted her teeth, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes.

He, Bai Yifei, will never admit defeat!

"ah--!"

Bai Yifei looked up and let out a mournful long howl.

He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the red and white swords in his hands.

In an instant, the twin swords shone brightly.

Bai Yifei's originally pale hair suddenly turned into an eerie blood red.

His aura began to surge wildly, turning the surrounding ice and snow crimson, as if the whole world had become a sea of ​​blood.

"A sea of ​​blood rises and falls, a vast expanse of ice freezes the land!"

Bai Yifei crossed her two swords in front of her chest, transforming into a blood-red tornado, carrying a devastating chill and murderous aura, and swept towards Li Chengze once again.

This time, the force was several times stronger than before! The entire suspension bridge swayed violently under this force, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Looking at Bai Yifei, who had gone mad, a hint of admiration flashed in Li Chengze's eyes, but more than that, there was indifference.

"Since you are so stubborn, I will shatter your pride completely."

Li Chengze took a deep breath, and the domineering true energy within his body began to circulate wildly. A faint golden light flickered in his eyes.

He no longer dared to be arrogant, but slowly raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and pressed down hard on the blood-red tornado that was sweeping in!

"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Hand!"

"boom!"

A gigantic handprint, formed entirely from solidified true energy, appeared out of thin air in mid-air. This handprint blotted out the sky and exuded a terrifying pressure that suppressed everything, as if it were the hand of the heavens, mercilessly striking the blood-red tornado.

"Bang--!"

A deafening roar erupted, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open.

The enormous true energy handprint collided violently with the blood-red tornado.

There was no stalemate, no suspense.

Faced with Li Chengze's overwhelming power, Bai Yifei's desperate attack seemed utterly laughable.

The blood-red tornado collapsed instantly, and a torrential downpour of blood rained down from the sky.

"puff!"

Bai Yifei coughed up a mouthful of blood. The red and white swords in his hands flew out and stuck diagonally into the ice in the distance. He crashed heavily into the hard wall of Snowclothes Fortress like a kite with a broken string, creating a huge human-shaped crater in the wall, before sliding down helplessly and collapsing to the ground.

Two moves.

Blood-Clad Marquis, utterly defeated.

Li Chengze slowly withdrew his hand, took a step, and walked step by step through the ice shards and blood on the ground to Bai Yifei.

He looked down at Bai Yifei, who lay on the ground like a dead dog, his eyes calm and undisturbed.

"You lost," Li Chengze said calmly.

Bai Yifei struggled to lift his head. His once handsome and alluring face was now covered in dust and blood, making him look incredibly disheveled. He looked at Li Chengze, his eyes filled with bitterness and despair.

He lost. He lost so completely, so utterly powerless to fight back.

His martial arts skills, which he was so proud of, and his lineage, were nothing but a joke in front of this mysterious young man.

"Kill me." Bai Yifei closed her eyes, her voice weak but resolute, "I, Bai Yifei, would rather die than be dishonored."

"Kill you? I didn't go through all this trouble just to kill you." Li Chengze chuckled, squatted down, and looked directly into Bai Yifei's eyes. "I just said that if you lose, you and your Snow Robe Fortress will belong to me. I, Li Chengze, always keep my word."

"You…" Bai Yifei suddenly opened her eyes, staring intently at Li Chengze, "What exactly do you want?"

"Let me show you the real world."

Li Chengze stood up, and suddenly stretched out his right hand, making a sharp slash in the air.

"Sizzle—"

With a piercing sound like cloth being torn apart, Bai Yifei was shocked to see that the void in front of Li Chengze had been forcibly ripped open by him, creating a huge black rift!

Strange light flickered within the crack, as if it connected to another unknown universe.

"This... what kind of sorcery is this?!" Bai Yifei's eyes widened, his heart, which had been ashen, began to pound violently again. Tearing through space? This was a power no human could possibly possess! This was a miracle!

"Sorcery? No, this is a gateway to a higher dimension." Li Chengze turned his head, looked at Bai Yifei, and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips. "Bai Yifei, haven't you always felt that Korea is too small to contain your ambition? Today, I will show you what a true empire is, what true power is."

After saying that, Li Chengze grabbed Bai Yifei by the collar and lifted him up like a chick. Then, without hesitation, he turned around and stepped into the black spatial rift.

"Buzz—"

The spatial rift closed instantly, as if it had never existed.

A deathly silence returned to the gates of Snowcloak Castle. Only the ice shards and blood scattered on the ground, and the two guards still kneeling and trembling, proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.

…………

After a strong wave of dizziness, Bai Yifei suddenly opened her eyes.

He instinctively tried to circulate his internal energy for defense, but found that his true energy seemed to be suppressed by some invisible rule, making its circulation extremely difficult.

What shocked him even more was that the surrounding environment had undergone tremendous changes.

The biting cold wind was gone, the snow was gone, and the eerie Snowcoat Castle was gone.

Instead, there was a blazing sun high in the sky and a warm breeze carrying the fragrance of earth.

Bai Yifei found herself standing atop an extremely tall city tower.

He subconsciously looked down from the city gate, and after just one glance, he was struck dumb, frozen in place.

What appeared before him was a colossal city he could never have dreamed of!

The city is ten times larger than the capital of South Korea, Siege. Its wide and flat bluestone streets are crisscrossed, lined with shops, bustling with people and vehicles, and extremely prosperous.

In the very center of the city stood a magnificent, sprawling complex of palaces, so grand and imposing that it would make any of the seven kingdoms feel inferior.

But that wasn't the most shocking thing for Bai Yifei.

What truly terrified him was the atmosphere that permeated the city.

Standing on the city tower, he looked around and saw that the city walls and streets were filled with elite soldiers in full armor.

The soldiers' equipment was so sophisticated and their military bearing so disciplined that it was unheard of. The fierce, battle-hardened aura emanating from them seemed to coalesce into a tangible, blood-red cloud above the city.

"Where...where am I?" Bai Yifei's voice trembled violently; he felt his worldview collapsing.

"This is the Kingdom of Qing. My country. This city is called Kyoto."

Li Chengze gripped the crenellations of the city wall with both hands, looking down at the bustling city below, his eyes flashing with an air of domineering arrogance.

"Qing Kingdom? I've never heard of such a country among the seven kingdoms..." Bai Yifei murmured to herself.

"Of course you haven't heard of it, because this isn't the world you live in at all." Li Chengze turned his head, looked at Bai Yifei's shocked face, and said with a smile, "This is the world I rule, the world that belongs to me!"

Li Chengze pointed to a military camp outside the city: "See that cavalry in black armor? That's the Black Cavalry of the Qing Kingdom. The Qing Kingdom has 100,000 elite troops like that. With a million armored soldiers, your Han Kingdom's forces are nothing compared to the Qing Kingdom's.

Then, Li Chengze pointed in the direction of the palace: "Several Grandmasters live in that direction. Each of them is no less powerful than me. If they wanted to kill you, it would be as easy for them as it is for me."

Bai Yifei looked in the direction Li Chengze was pointing. Although he couldn't see anything, his keen intuition told him that there were indeed several terrifying auras lurking in that direction.

Grandmasters? Each one is no less than Li Chengze?

Bai Yifei felt like she was about to stop breathing. The strength Li Chengze had just displayed had filled her with despair.

And in this world, are there actually several people like Li Chengze?

"Now, do you understand why I called Ji Wuye a vulgar butcher and your 'Nightfall' a joke?" Li Chengze's voice rang in Bai Yifei's ear, like a devil's whisper. "In the face of true power, your so-called conspiracies and power struggles are as laughable as children playing house."

Bai Yifei fell silent.

He looked down at the magnificent city, at the elite soldiers, and felt the suffocatingly powerful aura in the air.

His pride, his self-esteem, and his invincible ambition were utterly shattered and ground into dust at this moment.

He finally realized how narrow-minded he had been. Everything he was so proud of was utterly insignificant in the face of this man, in the face of the world.

"What do you want me to do by bringing me here?" Bai Yifei took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at Li Chengze. The arrogance in his eyes was gone, replaced by a deep sense of awe.

"It's simple." Li Chengze looked at Bai Yifei, his eyes gleaming with ambition. "I want you to be my agent in that world. I want you to use your Snow Robe Fortress and your White Armor Army to help me control Han, and then... annex the seven kingdoms!"

"To annex seven kingdoms?" Bai Yifei gasped.

"What? You're afraid?" Li Chengze raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I won't let you fight alone. I'll provide you with cultivation techniques, weapons, and even an army. I'll make your name, Bai Yifei, resound not only throughout the Seven Kingdoms, but throughout all the heavens and myriad realms!"

Li Chengze's words, as if possessing magic, kept echoing in Bai Yifei's mind.

The conquest of seven kingdoms! Its fame resounded throughout the heavens and myriad realms!

What insane ambition this is! What a magnificent undertaking!

Bai Yifei's heart, which had been dormant, burned fiercely once more. And this time, it burned more intensely than ever before!

Looking at the unfathomable man before him, who seemed to control everything, he knew that this was the greatest opportunity of his life.

If he refuses, he will forever remain a blood-sucking monster in the darkness, ultimately dying alongside Ji Wuye.

If he submits, he will embark on a glorious path unlike any other!

Bai Yifei did not hesitate any longer.

He took a step back, then his knees buckled, and he knelt heavily before Li Chengze.

He lowered his once proud head, placed his hands on the ground, and performed the most solemn salute between ruler and subject.

"Your Highness, I, Bai Yifei, am willing to serve you with utmost loyalty and courage! I would gladly die for you!"

Bai Yifei's voice echoed on the city wall, revealing an unprecedented determination and fervor.

Li Chengze looked at Bai Yifei kneeling at his feet, a satisfied smile curving his lips.

"Get up." Li Chengze reached out and helped Bai Yifei up, patting his shoulder. "From today onwards, you belong to me, Li Chengze. As for Ji Wuye, you continue your undercover work. As for the backlash from your cultivation technique..."

Li Chengze took out an exquisite white jade porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Yifei: "Inside is the 'Heavenly Dao' healing elixir, a secret recipe of the Qing Kingdom's royal family. Combined with a set of calming mantras I've taught you, it's enough to suppress the bloodlust within you. From now on, don't drink that disgusting blood anymore; it's too degrading."

Bai Yifei took the porcelain bottle with both hands, feeling the warm touch of the bottle, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

"Thank you for the medicine, Your Highness!" Bai Yifei bowed again.

"Alright, it's about time. We should head back. Han Fei is probably already having a headache over how to deal with Ji Wuye's revenge. This show has only just begun."

Li Chengze smiled and once again tore through space with a wave of his hand.

The two stepped into the spatial rift, one after the other.

When Bai Yifei opened her eyes again, she had already returned to the snowy world in front of Snowclothes Castle.

The cold wind still howled, and the snowflakes still danced in the air.

But Bai Yifei's state of mind has undergone a complete transformation.

He looked at the luxurious carriage ahead, and at the languid figure inside, his eyes filled with awe and fervor.

He knew that from this day forward, the world in South Korea was about to change.

And Bai Yifei will become the sharpest knife in this storm!

Bai Yifei watched Li Chengze leave, then turned to look at the two soldiers whose eyes still held lingering shock, and said calmly, "Don't let anyone know what happened today."

After saying that, he strode towards Snowcloth Fortress, after all, he was the soldier he had personally trained.

"To annex seven kingdoms?" Bai Yifei gasped.

"What? You're afraid?" Li Chengze raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I won't let you fight alone. I'll provide you with cultivation techniques, weapons, and even an army. I'll make your name, Bai Yifei, resound not only throughout the Seven Kingdoms, but throughout all the heavens and myriad realms!"
