The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 2009 - 2008: Different Paths, No Common Plans
Among her peers, Chang Xi was unmatched in talent and swordsmanship.
However, when faced with masters of the Unity Realm Stage, she was inherently weaker.
Under the pressure of Taiyi Daoist, her Essence, Qi, and Spirit continuously dissipated, and the Moonlight Dharma Laksana above her head was being forced downwards.
Taiyi Daoist commanded sternly, "Saintess, cease your actions!"
"In your dreams!"
Chang Xi raised her hand and summoned a Jade Ruyi, upon which was a verdant toad.
The toad opened its mouth, and a radiant light fiercely slashed towards Taiyi Daoist.
Taiyi Daoist’s brow twitched, and with a flick of his hand, a longsword appeared, meeting the beam of light.
With a loud bang, his palm went numb, and the Taiyi True Water Seal, which was oppressing Chang Xi’s head, suddenly shattered.
Chang Xi hurriedly retreated, a white light streaking across the sky and escaping a kilometer away, resembling the flowing moonlight. Her gown fluttered, Chaos Silk Ribbon billowing, akin to Chang’e descending to the mortal realm, taking the gaze of a crowd of male cultivators.
Taiyi Daoist, however, was fixated on the Jade Ruyi in her hand, exclaiming in surprise, "Is this the Moon-Swallowing Jade Ruyi of the Broad Cold Palace? Your Holy Mother is truly generous, letting you bring such a palace-treasuring artifact."
The group of cultivators was astonished, having only heard of this magical treasure from Broad Cold Palace but never seen it before today.
Rumor has it that this magical treasure was left by the ancestor of Broad Cold Palace, and on the Jade Ruyi, there was a toad condensed from the Essence of Moonlight.
The toad could devour the light of moonlight and transform it into a toad sword within its body.
In encounters with enemies, one only needed to activate the Jade Ruyi, and the toad would unleash the Moonlight Sword to injure the foe.
The Eighth Prince’s eyes gleamed as he hastily conveyed to Taiyi Daoist, "Daoist, I want both the Jade Ruyi and Chang Xi. Don’t hold back, leave swiftly!"
Chang Xi knew the old man’s power, refrained from speaking, and tossed out a Luminous Bamboo to escape.
The old man let out a light snort, "Where do you think you’re going!"
If an Integration realm master allowed Chang Xi to escape, where would his dignity lie?
Usually, one would only unleash their trump card in moments of life and death. The old man, though reluctant, raised his hand and cast out one of his trump cards.
The item sketched a streak of water light in the air, like a stream, catching up to Chang Xi and imprisoning her within.
Nine dragons roared, transforming into a dozen meters around a veil that enveloped Chang Xi from all directions.
The crowd exclaimed in surprised shouts, "Nine Dragons Divine Water Veil!"
"Isn’t this the supreme treasure of the East Sea Dragon Palace?"
"How did Taiyi Daoist acquire this?"
"This item is known alongside the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cloak, one of the two treasures that stabilize the sea of the East Sea!"
"..."
Nine Dragons Divine Water Veil, an item of the Dragon God Clan.
Nine water dragons intertwined oppositely, forming a potent vortex that trapped one within.
Chang Xi summoned the moon-swallowing jade toad, releasing Moonlight Swords one after another with a puff, chopping against it.
However, they were devoured by the massive water dragons one by one, only causing ripples of fine patterns upon it.
The Eighth Prince clapped gleefully, "What an extraordinary Nine Dragons Divine Water Veil, capturing Chang’e under the moon, truly an ancient delight!"
The cultivators laughed flatteringly, "Indeed, indeed, if the Eighth Prince and Chang Xi Fairy were to enjoy a beautiful night together, it would be even more delightful!"
"The Eighth Prince’s talent is unrivaled, paired with Chang Xi Fairy, they are a match made in heaven!"
"Should everyone bid farewell now to not interrupt the Eighth Prince’s delight?"
"..."
As the crowd reveled uproariously, a sudden rumble trembled the thirty-meter high city tower.
The tremor caused the tower to collapse into rubble, sinking rapidly and spreading a hundred meters in both directions.
Dust rose sky-high amid the ruins.
The cultivators beside the Eighth Prince flew outward like scattered leaves, all shaken by surging Essential Qi, their flesh bursting, spurting fresh blood. Several were obliterated, leaving only their Primordial Spirits to escape.
Everyone was shocked, scattering in all directions to flee.
At this moment, no one paid attention to the Eighth Prince.
Taiyi Daoist turned around; he was still activating the Nine Dragons Divine Water Veil, its power immense but consuming spiritual power rapidly.
Now with trouble behind, he was momentarily inattentive.
Half of the clouds cleared, and the crowd finally saw what was inside the ruins.
A man and a woman stood within, enveloped in white light separating them from the dust.
The man stepped on the Eighth Prince underfoot, holding a sword against his neck.
His gaze icy, he softly demanded of Taiyi Daoist, "Cease your actions!"
Recognizing him like ghosts, a group of cultivators cried out instantly, "It’s Consort Prince!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"My heavens, how has he returned!"
"Wasn’t he dead?"
"Consort Prince has returned!"
"It’s over, it’s truly over now!"
"Celestial Realms City will surely have a spectacle now!"
"..."
Taiyi Daoist furrowed his brow, a hint of surprise flickering across his face, coldly intoning, "He is the Emperor’s son. You were favored by the Emperor, do you dare to kill him?"
Long Fei’s sword dipped slightly, the tip scraping the back of the Eighth Prince’s neck with a sizz, leaving a trail of blood that spurted hotly.
Unperturbed, he replied, "The Emperor was driven to death by you group of people. He’s currently leading the army against demonic beasts beneath Celestial Realms City while you frolic here, truly deserving death!"
Taiyi Daoist chastised, "Nonsense, the army of Celestial Realms City is all within the city, where is the Emperor’s army?"
"Believe it or not, if you don’t release, this stupid prince’s head will roll soon!"
The sword pressed down three more inches, causing the Eighth Prince to scream, "Bastard, release him! Are you intent on watching me die?"
Taiyi Daoist gritted his teeth and withdrew the Nine Dragons Divine Water Veil.
Though he could trap Chang Xi, he couldn’t kill her, making trading impossible with Long Fei.
Once Chang Xi escaped, she quickly rushed to Long Fei’s side on the Luminous Bamboo.
She embraced Wang Xiaoya joyfully, her eyes turning red, "Wonderful, you’ve returned. I always knew you’d be alright."
"Luckily, we returned in time!"
Wang Xiaoya chuckled lightly, patting her on the shoulder.
Chang Xi was momentarily surprised, then noticing her unusual Divine Sense, eagerly asked, "You’ve made a breakthrough?"
Wang Xiaoya nodded, producing a lotus seed and handing it to her, "Take this, consume it and it will assist your breakthrough."
Chang Xi’s body trembled, the heavens’ oppression meant no young ones could breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, her opportunity lay within a lotus seed.
Taiyi Daoist called sternly to Long Fei, "I’ve let her go. Should you not do the same?"
The Eighth Prince pleaded repeatedly under Long Fei’s foot, "Consort Prince, we are family. The Prince will never bother you again, release me quickly?"
Long Fei answered Taiyi Daoist, "Paths differ, no shared pursuit. You picked the wrong path, amend now!"
His sword lifted and pierced through the Eighth Prince’s head with a puff.
The Eighth Prince screamed in agony, his entire being swept away by Sword Qi.
Suddenly, a white light swept over, eradicating both the Eighth Prince’s flesh and Primordial Spirit, vanishing into the night sky.
The crowd exclaimed in horror, "You, you dare kill the Eighth Prince!"
"This man’s rebelling!"
"Quick, kill him!"
"Let’s all attack, kill this traitorous scoundrel!"
"..."
The Eighth Prince’s retainers shouted incessantly, yet none dared to approach Long Fei.
Prodigies from various clans were shocked, amazed that Long Fei employed such ruthless tactics, leaving no wiggle room.
Surprised, they recognized that this Consort Prince seemed to have made a breakthrough.
