Chapter 1706: The Identity of Mengyao Xu

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Looking at the third princess, the second prince said, “Qingfeng Li, my sister has met trouble. It seems as though she has been besieged.”

Qingfeng Li nodded, for not far in front of them he could see the third princess surrounded by a dozen desert giants.

These desert giants were quite large. They were attacking the third princess with giant golden hammers in their hands.

The third princess stood there with silver starry lights sparkling on her body. She continued to block the attacks, but she had only one person on her side, the maid in green that had follower her into the desert.

The third princess protected herself as well as the maid. Hence a long battle made her face pale and her body weak.

Qingfeng Li stepped forward ready to help the third princess. Meanwhile, the desert giant beside him started talking.

The desert giant said, “Master, be careful, those desert giants were extremely strong. One of them is actually the Desert General serving under the queen.”

Qingfeng Li laughed lightly and said, “How is the Desert General’s ability compared to yours?”

The desert giant explained, “The Desert General was called the number one under the Desert Queen. He is extremely ferocious. I am no match for him and cannot last for even ten moves.”

Qingfeng Li waved his hands and said, “It won’t hurt. Let’s go there and I will figure out a way.”

The third princess had fought for a long time. Her body and clothes were soaked with sweat, becoming almost transparent and revealing her beautiful body.

She had tried to run away a few times, but those desert giants were just too strong. They moved swiftly and silently, and they could emerge from both the void as well as deep underground.

The lead desert general was even stronger. His ability was tyrannical. The third princess could not escape with her abilities and was therefore forced to stay and fight.

Of course, if the maid in green was not around, the third princess could definitely have escaped successfully. But the maid was too weak; half of the third princess’s energy was used to protect her. That was mainly why she could not escape.

Seeing the third princess was tired and her energy was waning, the maid said anxiously, “Your Majesty, please run and leave me.”

The third princess shook her head. “I will not give up on you. I will definitely save you.”

The third princess clenched her teeth and decided to release the fairy energy sealed inside of her body.

Inside of the third princess’s body, there was a mysterious seal in the shape of the fairy star in the sky.

The third princess had awoken the fairy’s memory and practiced the Fairy Spell, but she had not yet fully grasped this technique. If she forced the seal to break, it would hurt her body. Otherwise, she would have done so sooner.

But now, in order to save her maid, the third princess decided to unlock the seal. At that moment, the maid shouted, “Third Princess, look, the second prince is coming.”

Having heard the maid, the third princess turned her body and looked over. Not far behind her, she saw the second prince, Qingfeng Li, and the others.

The third princess had complicated feeling when she saw Qingfeng Li and her delicate body shook a little. She knew that she would be saved and no longer needed to break the fairy seal, because Qingfeng Li was there.

Not many knew about Qingfeng Li’s abilities, but the third princess was crystal clear about them. He was no doubt a supreme master and had many secrets. No matter physical attacks or spiritual attacks, he was formidable at both and within the same realm, no one could oppose him.

Although these desert giants and desert general were extremely impressive, the third princess had faith in Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li moved quickly and came to her side quite suddenly. The third princess still wore her veil, so he could not see her real face.

But Qingfeng Li could recognize her from her body shape and other parts on her body that she looked the same as Mengyao Xu. They were definitely the same person.

“Little Yaoyao, I knew it was you. Are you alright?” Qingfeng Li smiled and asked the third princess.

Having heard the name “Little Yaoyao”, the third princess’s body shook again but she said nothing.

Qingfeng Li smiled softly and didn’t mind her. He knew that her silence was an admission to what he had called her, he was very pleased. He didn’t expect to see Mengyao Xu in the Crimson Fire Continent.

Seeing Qingfeng Li flirting with the third princess, the Desert General tightened his face showing a vein of anger.

“Human, you are looking for trouble. No one can leave here today. I will catch you and send you all to the Desert Queen,” the Desert General said coldly.

Qingfeng Li turned his head and looked over. This time he observed the Desert General cautiously. He was enormous and about three meters tall, his whole body made from golden sands.

“General” was engraved on the general’s chest. The “general” word was as big as a fist and was also made of golden sand.

The Desert General’s body radiated formidable energy. Surprisingly he had reached the peak of the fifth level supreme realm and had almost broken through to the sixth level.

But Qingfeng Li was not scared of his body. After he had absorbed the life essence of the vines, Qingfeng Li had become more powerful. He had even managed to heal himself of his old wounds.

Qingfeng Li waved his right fist and formed a gigantic vital essence fist. His powerful punch broke through space and flew towards the Desert General with a sky splitting sound.

Qingfeng Li decided to do it fast and deal with the Desert General quickly, so they could move on to keep looking for the monarch soul fruit.

The Desert General’s face dropped, for he had sensed danger from Qingfeng Li’s punch. This feeling was unbelievable, Qingfeng Li’s ability was only at the second level supreme realm but his fighting strength was extremely powerful.

The Desert General shouted and used his Desert Giant Punch to create a giant desert whirlpool. Grains of sand were blown up with the wind and covered the sky. Then, they came together to turn into the shape of a mountain and crashed against Qingfeng Li’s fist, which created an tremendously loud sound as a chaotic explosion sent sand and stones flying around.

Neither Qingfeng Li nor the Desert General moved; they were evenly matched opponents.

Qingfeng Li’s eyes widened in surprise. “No wonder he is the number one master of the Desert Queen. He unexpectedly blocked my Strangle Hell Fist.”

However, Qingfeng Li only used the third fist of the Strangle Hell Fist, not the most powerful one that he had mastered, which was the seventh fist. Now he decided to use the seventh fist, Shattering the Body.

Qingfeng Li punched out, ripping open a large crack of the air and the space. He then smashed forward and split the Desert General’s body in half.

The desert giants standing behind were stunned seeing this. It was their first time seeing the mutilated body of their leader.

Chapter 1707: Desert Giant’s Breakthrough

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Qingfeng Li quietly observed the dead body of the Desert General, which was lying in front of him. He had a feeling that the Desert Queen’s number one underling would not be defeated so easily.

As he expected, the severed body of the Desert General started reforming. From the formerly shattered body, the sand had reassembled into a gigantic body that was three meters tall.

The Desert General laughed aloud as he glared at Qingfeng Li and said, “Human, I am immortal. All the sand in the Crimson Fire Desert is under my command. There is no way you can kill me.”

Watching the arrogant opponent before him, Qingfeng Li only gave a small smile in silence.

Qingfeng Li had heard from his servant, the Desert Giant, that the entire Desert Giant race was derived from the golden-yellow sand in the Crimson Fire Desert.

The golden-yellow sand was adamantine, even more so than tier four meteorites, impossible to destroy. Nonetheless, everything had its weaknesses. For the golden-yellow sand, their two weaknesses were flames and thunderbolt.

Needless to say, to be effective against the golden-yellow sand, the flames must be of a scorching high temperature, unlike any common flames. The Golden Flames in Qingfeng Li’s hands were perfect for this matter.

Glancing at the Desert General who stood before him, Qingfeng Li spoke, “I’ll give you one chance. Succumb to me, and I will spare your life; if not, I will burn you to ashes in an instant.”

The Desert General spread open its gigantic mouth and gave out roaring laughter. It glanced at Qingfeng Li in contempt, as it believed he did not understand its notorious reputation as the Desert Queen’s number one underling throughout the entirety of the Crimson Fire Desert.

It was already one foot into the Sixth Level of the Supreme Realm; hence, it was invincible towards any common self-cultivators and human beings.

A few years ago, the Emperor of the country of Lingyun had come to the Crimson Fire Desert and had encountered the Desert General. The Emperor was defeated by it and was forced to retreat. The Desert General thought Qingfeng Li to be blissfully ignorant in claiming that he was capable of killing it. Indeed, it found his claim ridiculous.

The Desert General put together its two hands and smashed down. Its fist crashed into the ground and caused an enormous crack.

The crack continued to spread forward and eventually divided the desert and the air in halves. Surprisingly, the Desert General had also acquired a powerful technique – the Sky-Splitting Technique.

Qingfeng Li’s brows furrowed as he became astonished. This was the first time he had encountered this type of strange attacks which could sever the ground and the air. It reminded him of the seventh fist of his own Strangle Hell Fist, just not as powerful.

Taking resolute and effective measures, Qingfeng Li immediately conducted the Golden Flames in his body, hoping to finish off the Desert General in one hit.

The Golden Flames were moving up and down between Qingfeng Li’s fingers, like dancing pixies.

Using his index and middle finger, Qingfeng Li lightly pinched his palm and threw the flames forward forcefully. The Golden Flames instantly ripped through the air and burned down space, directly destroying the Sky-Splitting Technique launched by the Desert General into nothingness.

The Desert General’s expression hardened as horror crossed its eyes – its biggest fear was high temperature flames.

As the number one underling of the Desert Queen, it certainly had its share of dealing with many different types of horrifying flames. For instance, the Fiery Supreme of the Fiery Desert had mastered a type of mighty flame and had once severely injured the Desert General.

If it weren’t for the Desert Queen, the Desert General would have been killed back then. Therefore, when it saw that Qingfeng Li could utilize the Golden Flames, its face became pale, and its body started trembling. The next moment, it turned around, attempting to flee.

Sadly, the Golden Flames that were shot out by Qingfeng Li were travelling at an amazing speed, faster than speed of light and lightning, appearing right out of the void.

The Golden Flames instantaneously crashed into the body of the Desert General and started burning up the sand that made up its body. The burning generated loud crackling sounds and wisps of green smoke, as if beans were being fried.

The Desert General let out one shriek after another, as it was going through the painful torment of execution by fire.

Moments later, the Desert General had turned into grains of grey sand and fell onto the ground. It had become a pile of ashes.

The dozens of desert giants behind the Desert General had also been burned to death by Qingfeng Li’s Golden Flames. They had become piles of drifting ashes as well.

Suddenly, Qingfeng Li’s eyes narrowed. He had spotted some fist-sized golden sand underneath the remains of the Desert General.

Qingfeng Li frowned as he knew that the golden sand was no usual sand. Any sand that could survive the torching of his Golden Flames and still be in its original form would have to be at least in the saint level.

Also, Qingfeng Li knew that most of the time, treasures could be found on powerful supreme level masters. Otherwise, the attempt to achieve supreme level by solely using one’s own strengths would be next to impossible and would require extremely rare giftedness.

For instance, Qingfeng Li had once found an Immortal spirit core on the dead body of the Mother of Vines; however, it was snatched up by the Chaos Millstone. Now, it was obvious that the grain of golden sand left behind after the Desert General had turned into ashes would not be anything ordinary.

At this moment, Qingfeng Li felt a fit of quivering behind him. As he turned around, he found his servant Desert Giant’s eyes to be blazing in eagerness. Its body was shaking uncontrollably, as it looked as if it was looking at its most favorite thing in the world.

Qingfeng Li couldn’t help but ask, “Sandie, what is this? Why are you so excited about it?”

“Sandie” was a nickname given to the Desert Giant by Qingfeng Li. Now that it was his servant, it was dead set on following Qingfeng Li.

Ever since it learned of Qingfeng Li’s powerfulness, which was even more impressive and dominant than that of the Desert Queen’s, The Desert Giant had decided to be a follower of Qingfeng Li for the rest of its life.

Suppressing its obvious arousal and excitement, the Desert Giant explained in a whisper, “Master, this is no ordinary golden sand – it is the spirit nucleus remaining after the death of the Saint of the the Desert Giant race. Only by acquiring it did the Desert General become the number one underling of the Desert Queen’s. Yet, it was killed by you, so the saint level spirit core was left behind once again.”

Qingfeng Li nodded as he came to understand the influential background of the golden sand which also confirmed his earlier suspicion.

Unfortunately, this egg-sized golden sand was left behind by the Saint of the Desert Giants. As Qingfeng Li was a human self-cultivator, he could not put it to use, nor absorb the vital essence inside it.

Qingfeng Li looked to the Desert Giant which was standing right next to him and asked, “Sandie, are you willing to follow me until the end of time?”

Plop! The Desert Giant kneeled down on the ground and started its pledge to Qingfeng Li, “I, the Desert Giant, Sandie, hereby swear I will follow Master until the end of my life. May lightning strike me dead if I ever forsake these words.”

Qingfeng Li nodded his head slightly. He knew that the Desert Giant was immensely strong and could be of great help later on – especially after it had refined this Saint spirit core.

Qingfeng moved his body forward and directly held up the golden sand in his palms. He was startled by the surge of enormous saint energy he felt from within it.

He then passed the golden sand into the Desert Giant’s hands and declared, “You have sworn your loyalty to me and shall follow me for the rest of your life. Since this golden sand is the Saint spirit core of a Desert Giant, I will grant it to you.”

Chapter 1708: Monarch Soul Fruit

The Desert Giant accepted the saint level spirit core from Qingfeng Li’s hands with its eyes filled with excitement. It bowed to Qingfeng Li again in gratitude.

Hurriedly, the Desert Giant found a spot to sit down, put the saint spirit core into its mouth and devoured it. After, it began practicing the “Desert Spirit Chant” of the Desert Giant race, hoping to refine this spirit nucleus.

However, in the next moment, a force from the saint level spirit core deflected the Desert Giant’s cultivation techniques.

The Desert Giant stood up with its face full of confusion and said to Qingfeng Li, “Master, there is a seal on this saint level spirit core. I can’t refine it at all.”

Qingfeng Li smiled calmly and replied, “That is alright. Your strength is relatively low right now. As it gets enhanced and improved, you can surely break the seal on the saint level spirit core in time.

“Think about it, if the saint level spirit core could be so easily refined, the Desert General would have done it long ago, and I would have had no chance of defeating it.”

Desert Giant nodded as a shred of pity crossed its eyes. It had hoped to achieve breakthrough from the Spirit Emperor Realm to the Saint through refining this saint level spirit core. Now that it was not an easy task to accomplish, it could only settle on waiting for more appropriate opportunities to come by in the future.

Even though the Desert Giant had not refined the saint level spirit core, it had devoured it into its body. Therefore, its physique had become incredibly strong, and so did its physical strength. With its power enhancing immensely, the Desert Giant was well-compensated.

Qingfeng Li turned to the Third Princess and greeted, “It’s been a long time. What brought you here from Earth?”

Third Princess’ eyes flickered with a hint of complexity as she remained silent. She had not uttered a word because she was overwhelmed by all the secrets she was still trying to make sense of – such as, her unexpected awakening of the memories of her previous life, and her being brought to the Crimson Fire Continent by a mysterious woman.

The mysterious woman said that the Third Princess would leave here for even more high-tier worlds when she achieved the Spirit Emperor Realm.

The Third Princess found all that had happened to her to be beyond logic and reason. Hence, she did not know how to explain herself, as she worried she would weird Qingfeng Li out if she told him that she was the reincarnation of an immortal goddess.

Qingfeng Li could easily see Third Princess’ worries. He understood her hesitation in revealing her identity because he had many secrets of his own as well. He would not tell people about his Golden Flames, Chaos Millstone, and the identities of his parents, either.

Qingfeng Li smiled casually as he said, “Third Princess, everyone has secrets of their own. I am just like you. So, you have no reasons to worry, we are good friends regardless.”

When she heard that Qingfeng Li referred to them as “good friends”, the Third Princess’ expression closed up. For unknown reasons, she felt a tinge of discomfort in her heart.

On Earth, she had slept with Qingfeng Li and was his woman. Yet, she was now being treated as a friend by him.

Third Princess smiled coolly as she finally opened her mouth, “Thank you for saving me. I have to go now, I need to go find monarch soul fruit.”

“Little Yaoyao, wait. We are on our way to look for monarch soul fruit as well. Let’s search together; this way, we can help one another out if we run into danger.”

Not giving Third Princess any chance to reject his proposition, Qingfeng Li grabbed her hand at once and started marching forward.

Third Princess had soft and silky, tofu-like hands.

In the beginning, the Third Princess was a little resistant. She felt bashful that Qingfeng Li was holding her hand in front of everyone.

Despite her strenuous efforts of withdrawing her hand, she was unable to do it. Qingfeng Li’s hand was like a pincer, tightly gripping onto hers. Finally, she gave up.

A blush of crimson and shyness had appeared on Third Princess’s face as her heart began beating uncontrollably. The disappointment she felt a moment ago had vanished and had been replaced by a tinge of joy. For some reason, she really enjoyed being held by Qingfeng Li; maybe that was what she secretly wished for.

The Second Prince and all the soldiers around them were in disbelief as awe appeared on their faces. They knew very well how proud the Third Princess was and the fact that she had never taken a liking to any man.

Many of the royalties, talented youths of the country of Lingyun, and even crown princes of other countries had proposed to the Third Princess. Without exception, they were all turned down immediately.

Yet, the beautiful, elegant and mysterious Third Princess now had her hand in Qingfeng Li’s. More importantly, she did not resist his action, having accepted it quietly.

The Second Prince sighed as he secretly praised Qingfeng Li for his powerful strength and his unexpectedly skillful courting techniques.

The dozen black hood soldiers behind the Second Prince also looked at Qingfeng Li in admiration; their eyes were twinkling with little gold stars.

Wagging its tail, Black Puppy murmured to itself, “How shameless… How shameless is he to do that in front of me?”

Qingfeng Li ever so casually reached out his right leg and sent Black Puppy flying meters away. Black Puppy was terrified and quickly crouched its head, too afraid to utter another word.

Sky-Devouring Snake let out a burst of roaring laughter, mocking Black Puppy’s overconfident behavior.

As both of them had met Mengyao Xu on Earth, they certainly recognized the Third Princess to be Mengyao Xu. Only when in front of their closely acquainted could they joke so recklessly.

On the other hand, disappointment crossed the eyes of Li Yang who was standing aside. She thought that she could eventually be with Qingfeng Li and was disappointed that he never took her seriously. Paying her no regard, he was now hand-in-hand with the Third Princess.

Nonetheless, whether it was appearance, strengths, or background, Li Yang knew that she could not compare to Third Princess – they were never on the same level to begin with.

With the Desert Giant’s guidance and the map of the Crimson Fire Desert in Qingfeng Li’s hand, the crowd advanced at a rapid speed and had arrived in the heart of the Crimson Fire Desert in no time.

The heart of the Crimson Fire Desert was a colossal desert cliff. It was unmistakably a desert cliff because there were three alps formed out of the desert ahead of where the group was.

The three alps were all giving off golden rays of shine and were completely made up of gigantic stones; the stones further formed into pieces of rocks that were eave-bounding, adamantine, sharp, golden and glittering.

In the middle of the three rocky desert alps, there was a cliff; and in the upper corner of the cliff, there was a small golden tree.

The small tree was no taller than two meters, like the height of an ordinary human being. But its entirety was of a gold color. There were golden seal scriptures glittering all over it, so dazzling that one could not look right at it. Close to the treetop hung a glossily golden fruit of the size of a fist.

Flows of golden light wandered about the surface of the fruit, and a fascinating gloss was emitted by it. From the fruit, a burst of powerful soul energy surged over the world.

The sight of the golden fruit brought a shade of joy across Qingfeng Li’s eyes. The Second Prince had shown him pictures of it, so he had recognized instantly that – this was it, they had found the monarch soul fruit.

Not only Qingfeng Li, the Second Prince, Third Princess, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake and all the others were ecstatic. After all, the goal of their trip was to find the monarch soul fruit.

Chapter 1709: Princess of Soil-Border Country

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

The second prince’s eyes were filled with excitement as he said, “Let us hurry and get the monarch soul fruit. Then we can get back to Lingyun and save my father.”

Qingfeng Li nodded and the two started walking, but they were stopped within ten meters by a man in yellow clothes.

“Stop, the area belongs to the Soil-Border country and you are not permitted to come here,” the man in yellow clothes said arrogantly.

The second prince’s brows tensed up and he said loudly, “I am the second prince of Lingyun, why can’t we pass through here.”

The man replied, “You can go from other routes, but not from the north. The north has been taken over by the Soil-Border country.”

The second prince was pissed and looked at the other three directions. He saw the other routes had been taken by the Golden-Arrow country, Fiery-Sun country, and Clear-Wood country.

There were five countries that came to the Red Fire Desert. They were Lingyun, Golden-Arrow, Fiery-Sun, Clear-Wood, and Soil-Border.

Even though Qingfeng Li killed the Golden-Arrow’s national guards’ leader, the prince still survived. It was a young man that had thick eyebrows.

Currently, the prince of Golden-Arrow country was looking at Qingfeng Li and the second prince emotionlessly, his eyes filled with killing intents. This was because he heard from the other self-cultivators that his national guard leader was killed by Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li felt there a sharp killing intent emanating from the other side and realized that it was from the prince of the Golden-Arrow country. But he didn’t care because his current enemy was the yellow clothed man in front of him, from the Soil-Border country.

Qingfeng Li said to the second prince, “You cannot reason with them, you have to use your fists.”

Qingfeng Li activated the vital essence within him and punched out with his right fist, forming a huge fist with vibrating patterns. It was the first attack of the Strangle Hell Fist.

The air shook into pieces from the vibration. It was extremely quick and instantly collided with the man in yellow clothes, forcing him back; he spat out blood and fell unconscious.

The man was from the Soil-Border country and was one of the guards of the princess. It was the Soil-Border country’s princess that told the man to stop them, but she didn’t think that he would be beaten by Qingfeng Li.

The princess was wearing a yellow dress that sculpted out her perfect body. Her face was pretty, but it was filled with rage.

The princess said, “Who are you and how dare you beat my guard. I guess you don’t want to live anymore.”

Qingfeng Li glared at the princess and said, “I only used a fifth of my strength, or else he would have died by now. I already saved you face, if you don’t need it, don’t blame me for what is going to happen.”

The princess was extremely pissed by what Qingfeng Li said. Her guard was beaten by a foreigner, and he even said he didn’t use his full strength. She decided to teach Qingfeng Li a lesson.

The five nations that came had bad relationships between them, but some of them also had good relationships. For example, Soil-Border and Golden-Arrow had an arranged marriage planned together.

The princess was the fiancée of the prince of Golden-Arrow country. The prince told her in the dark to stop Qingfeng Li and the second prince because he wanted to show them who was the boss.

The princess took out a yellow whip and walked towards Qingfeng Li. The whip was forged with forth-level yellow meteor stone that was extremely hard, and it even had spikes embedded on the tip of it.

The whip had yellow soil talisman scripts engraved on top of it, which Qingfeng Li noticed with one quick look; it wasn’t something cheap, it was at least a fifth-level supreme level spiritual treasure.

One had to say, the princesses of these nations all had powerful backgrounds; they all had numerous powerful spiritual treasures.

Even though Qingfeng Li had the Fire Emperor Sword, it was too low level compared to the whip. He could only rely on his sheer physique power.

Just when Qingfeng Li was going to teach the Soil-Border country’s princess a lesson, the third princess extended her hand and stopped him.

The third princess smiled and said, “Please allow me to teach her a lesson. She isn’t worth your time.”

Seeing how Mengyao Xu was going to help him teach her a lesson, Qingfeng Li nodded. He couldn’t reject her kindness.

Mengyao Xu took out a flexible sword. It was silver in color, 1.5 meters in length, and only two fingers in width. It was shining with silver glimmers and had silver seal scripts all over it. It was almost like it was made with the stars.

Qingfeng Li was shocked because the level of the silver sword was too high, even he couldn’t tell what level it was. No wonder Mengyao Xu wasn’t scared to fight with the princess; Qingfeng Li wasn’t worried anymore.

The princess was pissed. She wanted to fight Qingfeng Li, but a girl in a veil came out instead of him. She felt that she was being looked down on.

The princess angrily yelled at Mengyao Xu, “I am challenging Qingfeng Li. F*ck off.”

Mengyao Xu was pissed as well. “You are not capable of challenging Qingfeng Li. Let me teach you a lesson and show you your proper place.”

Mengyao Xu stepped out and cracks instantly appeared. The cracks spread extremely quickly and rushed towards the princess.

The princess didn’t care whatsoever. She stepped onto the ground as well and formed cracks. The cracks from both sides collided together and exploded with devastating sounds.

The collision made the space around them fill with rocks and sand, as the whole sky darkened from the attacks. Both of these girls were supreme realm masters.

In addition, both of them had extremely powerful cultivation techniques. Just with one collision, they made the surrounding self-cultivators tremble in fear and shuffle back.

“This is going to be a good fight between the third princess of Lingyun and the princess of Soil-Border.

“Who do you guys think will win?”

“Of course, Soil-Border country’s princess. The spiritual weapon she has is extremely powerful.”

“I don’t think so. Lingyun’s third princess spiritual soft sword is powerful too, I can’t even tell the level.”

The crowds were chatting and were all in shocked by the strength displayed by the two princesses.

The second prince’s face was pale. He asked Qingfeng Li, “Do you think my sister is going to win?”

Qingfeng Li looked at him and said plainly, “Do you even need to ask? Of course, she is going to win.”

Chapter 1710: The Fairy Sword Technique

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

The Second Prince looked at Qingfeng Li with surprise, wondering why he had so much confidence in the Third Princess.

Qingfeng Li smiled slightly and said, “Second Prince, you just watch. Within ten exchanges, the Third Princess will defeat the woman from the Soil-Border Country.”

All the self-cultivators turned their eyes to the battle between the princesses of the Country of Lingyun and the Soil-Border Country.

Beautiful, powerful, and ranking among the top 20 of the supreme realm prodigy list, both women enjoyed great reputation all over the five southern countries of the Crimson Fire Continent.

The Third Princess was especially powerful, and it was said that she had concealed her true power which could rank in the top 10.

Neither was the princess of the Soil-Border Country weak. The famous mysterious yellow whip in her hand had been once used by the Emperor when he was young. He had given it to the princess as a gift.

Each time she slashed out the Mystic Whip, it exploded the air and shattered the ground into dust. It was fortunate that they were in a desert, otherwise she would have caused landslides and tsunamis.

Coolly, Mengyao Xue slashed out her silver sword and blocked her rival’s attacks with ease.

Just testing with her attacks, she didn’t bother using her full force.

The princess of the Soil-Border Country kicked hard on the ground with her right foot while murmuring a paragraph of earth style cultivation chant.

Around Mengyao Xu appeared countless yellow earth spikes made with sands. The sharp spiked sought to pierce her body.

With a cool smile, Mengyao Xu kicked lightly on the ground and leapt up. But in the next moment her expression changed slightly since the yellow earth spikes also appeared in the air.

The princess of the Soil-Border Country had conjured the earth spikes from the ground up into the air, trying to surround Mengyao Xu with them.

The Soil-Border Country was established on the earth style energy and the country’s citizens cultivated earth style genuine energy. They excelled in the use of the soil, rocks, sands, etc.

With a chilling light flashing in her eyes, Mengyao Xu circulated her fairy vital essence which transformed into sparkling silver lights before entering her soft sword. The sword emitted radiant runes which were called star runes.

One brilliant star flowed along the sword and emitted terrifying presence.

With a slight smile, Mengyao Xu said, “I was just playing with you. Now I will give you a taste of my Fairy Sword.”

She waved a fairy sword flower and drew a circle with the sword in the air. Along the circle, there seemed to be a fairy dancing.

Of course, only Qingfeng Li and Mengyao Xue could see it while others, due to their weaker eyes, could see nothing but Mengyao Xu waving her sword.

The Fairy Sword in Mengyao Xu’s hand formed a powerful silver sword aura which hacked a crack in the sky and the earth upon its appearance.

The sword aura came from the sky instead of the sword itself. Like a star falling from the heaven, it instantly crashed onto the Mystic Whip which broke into two halves before dropping to the ground.

The princess of the Soil-Border Country was stunned by what she saw. Her eyes were full of astonishment as if she had seen a ghost. A gift from her father the Emperor, the Mystic Whip was a powerful fifth level supreme realm spiritual treasure with a royal sealing stamp on it.

Even a ninth level supreme realm master would probably not be able to break the royal sealing stamp. She wondered how the woman before her could have broken it into two with a wave of her sword.

The princess of the Soil-Border Country stood there in a daze as anger, defiance, regret and hatred flitted across her face.

Mengyao Xu glanced at her coolly and said, “You lost. You are no match for me.”

Then Mengyao Xu ignored her and walked toward Qingfeng Li.

When she walked toward Qingfeng Li, Mengyao Xu’s back was exposed to the princess of the Soil-Border Country. To everyone’s surprise, the latter drew out a dagger abruptly and threw it forward.

The black dagger tore open the air and swooshed toward Mengyao Xu’s heart from her back.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed sharply at what he saw. He was astonished and furious that the princess from the Soil-Border Country was so despicable that she had launched a sneak attack on Mengyao Xu after losing the match.

“Third Finger Ceases Time.” In the critical moment, Qingfeng Li launched the third Conqueror Finger technique. He shot a beam of blue light with his right forefinger.

Fast as a flash, the beam of blue light dashed onto the dagger and froze it.

Knowing the third Conquer Finger technique could only cease the time for one second, Qingfeng Li kicked hard on the ground, leaving a dent on it. He leapt forward and was behind Mengyao Xu instantly.

Reaching out his right hand, Qingfeng Li grabbed the black dagger. He added force to his grip and twisted the meteorite rock dagger into a mass before throwing it at the feet of the princess of the Soil-Border Country.

The princess of the Soil-Border Country was stunned at the turn of events. She was more astonished than when she was defeated.

She was astonished that someone could twist the dagger with one palm. It was a feat even she and her senior brother could not accomplish.

Twisting the dagger into a mass, Qingfeng Li was still not satisfied because he couldn’t forgive the woman for launching a sneak attack on Mengyao Xu.

Mengyao Xu was his woman, just next to Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu. He wouldn’t allow anyone to mess with her.

He took a step forward and was instantly before the princess of the Soil-Border Country. He raised his right hand and slapped toward her face.

Her expression changed, trying to retreat and dodge the strike. But Qingfeng Li was too quick for her and he struck her face in the blink of an eye.

Slap!

With a loud sound, a red palm print appeared on the princess’s face. Her cheek swelled up like a steamed bun.

Feeling the stinging pain in her cheek, the princess’s eyes were full of fury. No one had ever dared to slap her face in her whole life, not even her father and mother, the Emperor and the Empress.

But now she had been slapped on the face in front of all the self-cultivators from the five southern countries in the Crimson Fire Continent. It was an ultimate humiliation.

She looked at Qingfeng Li with killing intent all over her face, saying, “Jerk! You dared to hit me. Today I will kill you for it.”

Chapter 1711: Slapping Face Viciously

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Without hesitation, Qingfeng Li raised his right hand and slapped her face again and again.

Slap! Slap! Slap…

After a dozen of slaps, her cheeks had become red and swollen with countless finger prints. It was a pathetic sight.

The princess of the Soil-Border Country was now ugly and disheveled, looking not a bit like the former beautiful princess.

Her charming face now looked like a crimson pig head. Qingfeng Li gave her a kick and she landed heavily on the ground

Qingfeng Li was ruthless to his enemies and the woman was no exception since she had insulted him and even launched a sneak attack on Mengyao Xu.

The watching self-cultivators from five countries all had solid backgrounds. One of them was a state preceptor while some were royal princes, princes, and princesses. They were all stunned at the drama unfolding before them.

Because no self-cultivator had ever dared to hit a princess, which was a forbidden act among the countries. Such an act would offend the royal family of the kingdom to say the least and could even trigger a war between two kingdoms.

But Qingfeng Li was indifferent to the rules because he was not a citizen of the Country of Lingyun or even the Crimson Fire Continent. He was only a visitor and he would attack anyone who dared to mess with him.

“Who is that guy? He is so audacious that he dared to beat the princess of Soil-Border Country. Doesn’t he know that the prince of Soil-Border Country is a overprotective freak?”

“The prince of Soil-Border Country is a powerful genius ranking the ninth in the supreme realm master list. And he dearly loves his junior sister. This guy is finished.”

“The guy stood with the Second Prince of the Country of Lingyun, so I guess he must come from it. But the Country of Lingyun is the weakest of the five kingdoms and even its emperor can’t protect him.”

The self-cultivators around were all talking among themselves, looking at Qingfeng Li with mockery and disdain in their eyes.

Among the southern five kingdoms in the Crimson Fire Continent, the Country of Lingyun ranked the last in power.

When they met, the people from other kingdoms would always mock and tease those from the Country of Lingyun. Qingfeng Li was of course no exception.

Qingfeng Li heard the comments from the self-cultivators of the other kingdoms, but he didn’t care.

He raised his foot and kicked the princess of Soil-Border Country up in the air. In this moment, a young man dressed in an embroidered robe flew out from the group of the Soil-Border Country and caught her in the air.

Six feet tall with bulging muscles, the young man had a majestic statue. His hair, skin and eyebrows were as yellow as the earth and his body emitted an overwhelming presence.

After she was caught in arms by the young man, the princess of Soil-Border Country sobbed, “Brother Prince, you must avenge for me. The deplorable fellow dared to slap my face.”

The yellow-haired young man reached out his thick yellow palm and rubbed the princess’s face. Instantly, her face was no longer swollen and regained her former charming look.

The watching self-cultivators were all stunned at the great power of the Soil-Border Country’s Prince.

The prince walked forward. His presence increased with each of his step. The air and sands around him began to crack outward like a spider web.

Having reached the pinnacle of fifth level of supreme realm, the Prince of Soil-Border Country was powerful.

It was extraordinary for a human to reach the pinnacle of fifth level of supreme realm.

Only some powerful demon beasts such as the General Desert, the No.1 super fighter under the Desert Queen, and the Mother of Vines could reach such a high level.

The Prince of Soil-Border Country was such a super fighter and that was why he ranked in the top ten of the supreme realm prodigy list.

Looking at the man coming toward them, a trace of terror appeared n the Second Prince’s eyes since he knew his father, the Emperor, was a fifth level supreme realm master.

He had not expected the Prince of Soil-Border Country had also reached the fifth level of supreme realm. No wonder the latter’s kingdom was much more powerful than his.

The Second Prince looked at Qingfeng Li at his side and warned in a low voice, “Please be careful. The Prince of Soil-Border Country is powerful. I fought with him three years ago and was defeated by him with only one strike.”

With a slight smile, Qingfeng Li said, “You are too weak, it’s no wonder that you were defeated by him with one strike.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the Second Prince rolled his eyes at the blow to his self-esteem. On the other hand, he considered his weak strength and thought Qingfeng Li was in the right.

The Prince of Soil-Border Country glared at Qingfeng Li and said coldly, “You dared to slap my sister’s face. I will give you only one option, kneel down and kowtow before killing yourself.”

Laughing contemptuously, Qingfeng Li said, “I’ve never had a Prince kneel down and kowtow to me. So I will also give you a choice, kneel down and kowtow to me and I will spare your life, otherwise today is your death date.”

The Prince of Soil-Border Country raised his head and laughed, his eyes full of disdain. He whipped out his right fist abruptly and formed a muddy-colored fist.

The muddy-colored fist whipped up a tornado which gathered the sands and formed a violent sandstorm crashing toward Qingfeng Li with the intention to tear him into pieces.

Coolly, Qingfeng Li held his ground and was motionless as if he didn’t see the sandstorm. When the violent sandstorm was almost upon him, Qingfeng Li abruptly reached out his right hand which transformed into a claw.

With golden twinkling runes, the claw shattered the violent sandstorm which dropped to the ground as a sheet of sands.

The Prince’s pupils contracted, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. He had not expected his powerful attack would be blocked by the young man. He knew he had met a powerful rival and must launch his strongest attack.

“Gravity Technique.” With a yell, the Prince of Soil-Border Country played his best card.

Extremely difficult to cultivate, the Gravity Technique was a set of powerful supreme realm cultivation techniques. It was said that it was once a set of spirit royal realm cultivation techniques, but the last techniques had been lost.

Despite its incompleteness, it was the top existence in the supreme realm cultivation techniques and it was only available to the Emperor and the Prince. Even the princess of Soil-Border Country was not allowed to cultivate it.

A huge crater appeared in the ground between the Prince and Qingfeng Li. In the crater there was a tremendous pulling force trying to suck Qingfeng Li down into the sands.

Chapter 1712: Learning Rival’s Cultivation Techniques

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Looking at the Prince of Soil-Border Country, Qingfeng Li frowned and a deep look appeared in his eyes, because he had once learnt a gravity technique as well.

Qingfeng Li’s Gravity Realm was unrivalled on Earth, but he had rarely used it after he got to Mars. Mostly, he had used spirit attacks and the Golden Flames.

He had recently used the Golden Flames several times and had reached his limit. It would harm his body if he continued to use it.

As to his spirit energy, he couldn’t use it frequently, otherwise his mind would be damaged. Qingfeng Li decided to launch other attacks, such as the Gravity Realm.

He circulated the gravity chant in his body and unleashed the Gravity Realm technique.

In an area with a diameter of about 100 meters around him, Qingfeng Li formed a black force of gravity which came from the depth of the ground. It was the pulling force of the earth.

Of course, they were on Mars instead of Earth, so it was more accurate to call it the gravity of Mars.

Every planet had its gravity, which was necessary for humans and other organisms to live on them. Otherwise, they would float off into space.

Qingfeng Li’s black Gravity Realm and the Gravity Technique of the Prince of Soil-Border Country collided with each other and blew up a surge of black runes.

Splitting the sand on the surface, the black runes rushed out from the depths of the ground and shot high up into the sky, shaking the sky and the earth.

The surrounding self-cultivators panicked when the pulling force from the ground began to suck them inside.

Those weaker self-cultivators nearer to the crater had their feet, legs, and even waists buried deep in the sands, causing them to scream with horror.

Some of them yelled, “Prince of Soil-Border Country, don’t use the Gravity Technique any more or I will be buried alive by the sands.”

Unfortunately, the Prince ignored them as he was engaged in the fierce battle with Qingfeng Li.

The Gravity Technique could form a force 500 times that of normal gravity!

It was fortunate that the Gravity Technique only covered an area with a diameter of about 150 meters, otherwise all the surrounding self-cultivators would have been pulled down into the ground and buried alive in the sand.

Qingfeng Li gained insight of the Gravity Realm on Earth and its force was only 400 times that of normal gravity. Its force was 100 times less than that of the Gravity Technique launched by the Prince of the Soil-Border Country.

Qingfeng Li’s legs were buried in the sand and the surrounding sand was rushing toward him. A powerful force was pulling his feet down and he couldn’t shake it off.

The power of the Gravity Technique went beyond physical and spirit attacks. It was the terrifying pulling force of stars and planets.

Qingfeng Li frowned but he was not worried. He continued to release the Gravity Field which formed a black gravity ripple.

Like the ripples on the sea, the gravity ripple rolled forward continuously and collided with the Prince’s gravity technique. They rushed into each other and absorbed each other’s force until they both vanished.

They struggled against the effects of two gravity techniques and the Prince of the Soil-Border Country gained the upper hand, slight as it was.

The Prince looked at Qingfeng Li and said, “It’s a surprise that you should know a gravity technique. Unfortunately, your gravity force is weaker than mine and thus you are no match for me. Today I will bury you alive in the sand.”

Facing the Prince’s killing intent, Qingfeng Li looked cool with indifference.

Currently, his Gravity Field was weaker than that of his rival, but Qingfeng Li was learning and understanding and he excelled in leaning from his rivals and turning their techniques into his own.

The runes formed by Qingfeng Li’s Gravity Field was black and the runes formed by the Gravity Technique of the Prince of Soil-Border Country were yellow.

They both used the planet’s gravity, but with different kinds of gravity runes. As with swordsmanship, even one sword could have different styles due to the different elements of genuine energy of different self-cultivators. The styles were categorized into metal, wood, water, fire, and earth which had different representations such as red flames and white ice columns.

Qingfeng Li had understood the Gravity Field from his opponent’s swordsmanship and now he understood his rival’s Gravity Technique.

At first, Qingfeng Li’s legs was sinking into the sand, but gradually he had discovered the launching method and the source of gravity in the Prince’s Gravity Technique.

He began to use what he had learnt in his Gravity Field which began to turn from black to yellow with increasing pulling force.

The pulling force increased from 400 times of normal gravity to 410 times, then 420 times, 430 times… until it finally reached 500 times.

His Gravity Realm force increased 100 times to 500 times, the same as the force of the Prince’s Gravity Technique.

By now, Qingfeng Li’s legs and feet rose from the sands and he could walk easily on the surface of the desert. His rival’s Gravity Technique now had no effect on him.

Frowning, a trace of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the Prince of Soil-Border Country since, just a moment ago, his Gravity Technique had gained the upper hand and had sucked Qingfeng Li down into the sand.

But a moment later, Qingfeng Li’s Gravity Field force had increased to his own level. This fellow’s power of understanding was even greater than his, which gave him an unsettling sense of danger.

The Prince decided to launch another attack—the attack of gravity runes, which could double the power of his Gravity Technique.

“Sky Emperor and Elderly Lord, show me the Earth Element and Eight Trigram.” The Prince of Soil-Border Country chanted a paragraph of incantation and summoned a yellow Taoist Talisman.

The yellow Taoist talisman was only as big as a palm and on it were engraved tadpole-shaped characters. The characters were as tiny as hair, but they were extremely hard and contained unimaginable power.

The moment the yellow Taoist talisman appeared, it stuck to the ground in front of Qingfeng Li, doubling the gravity. Qingfeng Li sensed a tremendous pulling force from the underground.

His Gravity Field had absolutely no resistance to the force released from the gravity talisman. In the blink of an eye, Qingfeng Li’s body was sucked down until only his head was above the ground.
