After the Great Dao died

Chapter 103 The Crown Prince's Wrath

The three figures emanating from jade-like auras also moved at the same instant.

Although their reaction was a beat slower than Zhong Wuzhu's, it was still surprisingly fast.

The martial artist, who had reached the initial stage of jade cultivation, reached out with his right hand to his waist, and his long sword was drawn with a clang.

The blade was extremely long and narrow, like an elongated willow leaf, with a faint jade-like luster flowing across its surface, extending from the hilt to the tip.

With a stomp of his foot, his figure became a jade-colored afterimage flying close to the ground, his long sword leaving a trail of sparks on the ground as he slashed at Xi Mu from the side.

At the same time, the two martial artists who had just entered the Jade Qi realm stood on the left and right, their blood and qi surging like a tide.

The man on the left threw out both fists simultaneously, the jade light on the tips of his fists surging, and the fist energy emitted a deep, resonant hum as it broke through the air, traversing great distances to directly target Chen Lingxi!

The man on the right leaped into the air, his legs kicking out in rapid succession like two steel whips, each kick carrying the power to shatter metal and split rocks. The leg shadows wove together a dense, impenetrable net, descending upon Chen Lingxi.

These people work together extremely well!

Zhong Wuzhu, with his strongest Jade-Suppressing Body, charged into the formation head-on, while a longsword warrior with minor Jade Qi cultivation restrained Xi Mu from the side, and two warriors who had just entered the Jade Qi realm blocked Chen Lingxi's retreat.

The timing, angle, and force of the four attacks were all perfect, with almost no overlap or gap between them. The fist and leg strikes of the two martial artists who had just entered the Jade Qi realm had already reached within three zhang of Chen Lingxi.

The jade-colored fist energy was scorching hot, and the leg movements were sharp, stirring up the surrounding air into chaos.

His robes were forced back by the strong wind, and the stray hairs beneath his mask were blown into disarray.

He didn't even frown.

He only slightly opened his mouth.

"Ha!"

The Dragon's Cry technique was activated.

It was like the roar of a dragon!

The sound did not spread outwards, but instead condensed into an invisible pillar of sound, precisely striking the ears of the two martial artists who had just entered the Jade Qi realm.

The two men felt a sharp pain in their eardrums and a constant ringing in their heads, as if someone had struck a heavy bronze bell inside their brains.

The sound emanated from within, exploding deep within their skulls, causing their blood and energy to stagnate, and their punches and kicks to slow down involuntarily.

One of them even let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The Dragon Cry Technique, at the intermediate level, not only intimidates the body, but also the mind, will, and soul.

That brief moment of hesitation is a rift between life and death.

Chen Lingxi moved within the crack.

He drew his sword!

The moment the Demon Slayer Sword was drawn, the world was suddenly illuminated.

The lightning, azure light, and purple aura on the blade intertwined and condensed into a nearly tangible four-foot-long blade aura.

Where the blade passed, the air was silently cleaved, leaving an extremely thin and faint vacuum crack.

At the same time, a slight movement of consciousness occurs.

"Hold Zhong Wuzhu back!"

Xi Mu had already won his master's favor.

At the very instant Chen Lingxi drew his sword, the immortal willow puppet moved silently.

In a flash, he stood in front of Zhong Wuzhu, his spiritual energy surging around him, causing the mist within a radius of several dozen feet to rush towards him like rivers flowing into the sea. He raised his right hand and made a sweeping gesture in the air, and the surging mist suddenly condensed, transforming into an ice wall several feet thick and over three feet high.

The ice wall stood tall and imposing, its surface radiating a chilling aura that froze the withered grass within several meters around it into a ghastly white expanse.

Zhong Wuzhu's powerful and heavy ramming forcefully struck the ice wall.

With a deafening roar, ice shards rained down, and the ice wall, over ten feet thick, shattered into pieces, cracks spreading in all directions from the point of impact.

Although the ice wall shattered, Zhong Wuzhu's figure paused slightly.

He snorted angrily, clenched his right fist, and the Jade Star Cloud beneath his jade armor spun wildly. With a punch, he blasted the remaining ice wall into dust.

But Xi Mu's second spell had arrived. The mist suddenly condensed beneath Zhong Wuzhu's feet, transforming into countless ice chains as thick as a child's arm, which wrapped around his legs like living creatures.

Chen Lingxi slashed down with his longsword, causing the first jade-like figure to falter and be forced to retreat.

Chen Lingxi swayed for a moment, then vanished like a wisp of smoke.

He dodged the fist energy blasted by the martial artist on his left. The fist energy grazed his robe and slammed into a rock several feet behind him, about half a person's height, shattering the rock into pieces that flew like rain.

He dodged the flying kick from the warrior on his right, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and twisted his body in a strange arc in the air, passing through the impenetrable net of legs.

At the same time, he raised his left hand, his five fingers making a loose clench in the air. [Qi Sea Vortex]!

The vortex in his Qi Sea suddenly erupted, and an overwhelming suction force surged from his palm.

The suction force was invisible and intangible, yet incredibly heavy, like an unseen giant hand descending from the sky, descending upon one of the martial artists who had just entered the Jade Qi realm.

Just as the martial artist was about to turn around and give chase, he was enveloped by this suction force. He felt his whole body suddenly become heavy, as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, and his legs involuntarily slowed down by half a beat.

That one beat was enough to decide his life or death.

At that moment, Chen Lingxi flipped the Golden Slaughtering Saber in his right hand.

The blade slashed diagonally from the lower right to the upper left with incredible speed, drawing a beautiful yet terrifying three-colored arc in the night.

The jade aura didn't even have time to see the trajectory of the blade light. It instinctively pushed its jade-like qi and blood to the limit, condensing a thick jade-like qi and blood barrier in front of it.

The barrier seemed indestructible, but it was as thin as a sheet of paper in the face of the sharpness of the Purple True Treasure Qi and the Azure Edge Technique.

With a soft hiss, the barrier was silently cleaved open by the blade.

The martial artist shuddered and looked down at the huge knife wound on his chest that ran diagonally from his ribs to his shoulder.

One of the newly entered beings of jade energy died instantly. Chen Lingxi killed the man with a single strike, but he didn't even have time to catch his breath.

The martial artist on the left, who had just entered the Jade Qi realm, pounced from behind him.

At the same time, the longsword warrior who had reached the initial stage of jade qi also moved.

He had been blocked by Xi Mu's ice wall for a moment, but now he had broken through the last ice barrier. His figure, like a jade-colored afterimage flying close to the ground, rushed out from the mist that had not yet dissipated.

He raised the willow-leaf-shaped longsword high in his hand, its jade-like luster flowing like boiling water. With a single slash, the blade's energy descended like a jade-colored waterfall from the sky, crashing down on Chen Lingxi.

The two attacked together, one in front and one behind, one above and one below, blocking all of Chen Lingxi's escape routes.

Chen Lingxi did not retreat.

He lightly tapped the still-standing corpse with his right foot, shattering it into pieces. Using the force of the impact, he darted away, narrowly avoiding the direct force of the fist attack from the newly-entered Jade Qi martial artist behind him.

However, the aftershocks of the fist still struck his back.

He felt a tightness in his back, a slightly sweet taste in his throat, and almost vomited blood.

He forcefully suppressed the blood pressure, twisted his body in mid-air, and dodged the jade-colored blade energy that was about to strike him down.

The blade's energy grazed his right shoulder, slicing away a large section of his robe and revealing the flesh beneath. It struck the spot where he had just stood, splitting the boulder in two with a smooth, mirror-like cut, sending stone dust falling in a shower.

Chen Lingxi landed on the ground, and before she could even stand up, the martial artist who had just entered the Jade Qi realm pounced on her again.

This man was clearly in a bloodthirsty frenzy, unleashing a barrage of punches that relentlessly targeted Chen Lingxi's throat, heart, and temples.

Each punch contained the full cultivation of a martial artist who had just entered the Jade Qi realm. When the fist energy broke through the air, it emitted a deep, resonant hum, stirring up the surrounding air into chaos.

Chen Lingxi retreated seven steps.

Each step he took landed in the gap between the opponent's punches and their final moments. By the seventh step, his back had already hit a protruding rock.

Seeing that he had nowhere to retreat, the martial artist's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He gathered all the strength in his right fist and punched Chen Ling's face.

"die!"

This punch was powerful and heavy. Even before the fist force arrived, the wind from the punch had already made the stray hairs under Chen Ling's ghostly face stand up.

Chen Lingxi suddenly stopped retreating.

He raised his left hand, making a loose clenching motion with his five fingers in the air.

A sudden vortex erupted in his dantian, and an overwhelming suction force surged from his palm. This suction force forcefully deflected the incoming fist energy from the martial artist by several inches.

The fist grazed Chen Lingxi's ear and slammed into the rock behind him, shattering it into pieces and sending fragments flying like rain.

The martial artist's punch missed its mark, and his body involuntarily leaned forward.

In that instant, Chen Lingxi moved the long sword in his right hand.

The blade swept diagonally from the lower right to the upper left, so fast that only a three-colored afterimage was reflected in the martial artist's pupils.

The blade flashed across his throat, jaw, and face, emerging from the top of his head, leaving behind a fine mist of blood.

The martial artist froze on the spot, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.

Then his body split open from the middle, collapsing to both sides, and blood gushed out, staining the rocks beneath his feet a dark red.

Another one has died.

Chen Lingxi killed the man with a single stroke, but he didn't even have time to catch his breath.

Just then, he suddenly turned his head.

A jade-colored blade aura silently slashed from behind him. The blade aura was so well concealed that it didn't even make a sound when it was drawn, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows finally revealing its fangs.

The sinister face of the longsword warrior, who had reached the initial stage of jade cultivation, was faintly visible behind the flash of the blade, and a sinister smile even appeared on his lips.

Chen Lingxi's pupils contracted slightly, and she jumped up with her knees bent.

Under the mysterious force of "Qi Flow Sprouts," Chen Lingxi's body mysteriously and rapidly floated into the air.

At the same time, a spiritual arrow flashed, revealing its sharpness, bypassed the man's front, and pierced between his ribs!

The swordsman groaned as a sharp pain shot through his right side, causing his right hand, which was gripping the sword, to involuntarily loosen its grip.

Chen Lingxi had been waiting for this moment.

With the surge of Qi, Chen Lingxi in the void changed his angle strangely and rushed forward seven or eight zhang. At the same time, he raised his left hand and joined his index and middle fingers together like a sword!

The sharpness of the Azure Edge Technique, having reached the intermediate level, condensed at his fingertips into a nearly tangible azure sword aura, hissing softly.

He raised his hand, flicked his finger, and casually flicked it towards the martial artist's brow as if flicking a small petal off his clothes!

The azure light shot out from the fingertip with incredible speed, leaving an extremely thin and faint azure mark in the air before silently disappearing into the martial artist's brow.

The martial artist shuddered, his eyes widening suddenly, revealing a finger-sized hole between his eyebrows. Blood gushed from the hole, trickling down his nose and dripping onto the blood-stained rocks at his feet.

The three ordinary jade spirits perished here.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Chen Lingxi landed, withdrew her fingers, and absorbed the remaining green light into her body before turning around.

Zhong Wuzhu is still locked in a fierce battle with Xi Mu.

This figure, whose jade energy was at its peak, was indeed extremely powerful. With the activation of his Jade Body, he was like a true jade-carved deity. Every punch he threw had immense power, and wherever his fist passed, even a small hill would be blasted open.

The ice walls, ice shields, and ice spears that Xi Mu Ning created were as fragile as paper in front of him, shattering with a single punch and collapsing with a single kick.

However, Xi Mu held him back tightly, making it impossible for him to break free.

As he watched the three men die one by one, he flew into a rage and let out a deafening roar.

The roar contained the full power of Yu Qi's perfected blood and energy. The sound wave spread outwards like an invisible giant hammer, shaking the trees in the mountains and forests. It shattered the ice spears that Xi Mu had just condensed, and made the rocks within a radius of dozens of feet hum.

Chen Lingxi didn't even frown, but strode towards him with steady steps, drawing his Demon-Slaying Saber once again.

He poured most of the spiritual energy he had accumulated in his dantian into the blade without reservation. At that moment, the precious blade ignited, and the three-colored blade energy condensed into a flickering blade light on its surface.

Just then, Xi Mu, having gained his master's favor, stopped using ice walls and ice shields to fight Zhong Wuzhu and suddenly changed his magic.

He clasped his hands together in front of him, his fingers interlaced, and as his spiritual energy surged, the swirling mist around him suddenly changed.

The originally scattered and formless mist was now stretched and woven by an unseen hand, turning into dozens of mist chains as thick as a child's arm.

The chains wrapped around Zhong Wuzhu from all directions, encasing him in layers upon layers.

Zhong Wuzhu glared angrily, urging his Jade Body to try and break free.

The Jade Star Cloud within his body spun wildly, and jade-like blood and qi gushed forth from every pore of his body, shattering the mist chains binding him.

Xi Mu did not seek to trap Zhong Wuzhu for long with this fog binding technique, but only to trap him for a moment.

A moment is enough.

Chen Lingxi had already approached Zhong Wuzhu to within three feet of him.

This distance is too close.

He clenched his left hand into a fist, and the Qi and blood of the Jade Qi realm erupted from deep within his bones. The jade-like Qi and blood within his body was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time finally erupting, transforming into a terrifying and boundless force that condensed on the longsword.

With a single strike, he shattered the Jade-Suppressing Body!

Then came another punch!

This punch landed squarely on Zhong Wuzhu's chest!

Zhong Wuzhu let out a muffled groan and spat out blood.

But Chen Lingxi's offensive showed no signs of abating!

Purple True Treasure Aura!

The purple light, like a bolt of purple lightning, pierced precisely into Zhong Wuzhu's chest!

The purple light entered the shattered treasure body and disappeared into Zhong Wuzhu's body.

Zhong Wuzhu trembled violently, and a mouthful of scalding blood gushed from his throat!

Then... this Crown Prince Martial Master, this powerful figure with perfected Jade Qi, this being who had cultivated the Jade-Suppressing Body and was comparable to a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Circulation, collapsed to his knees at this moment, his knees slamming into the rocks, shattering the rocks into pieces.

Chen Lingxi looked down at him, his right hand already holding a long sword high. He swung the sword and brought it down.

Zhong Wuzhu's head fell to the ground!

The four jade spirits perished at this point.

In the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, Ying Chi, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

His eyes flashed with murderous intent!

"Chen Lingxi!"
