Chapter 1241 - 1267: King Zhao Appears
Chu Linfeng glanced at Princess Qingyou and laughed, "I’m really not in the mood to battle with you. Your strength means nothing to me; you might as well give up to spare yourself from humiliation."
To Princess Qingyou, these words were like throwing oil on the fire, making her even more furious. She was usually a composed individual, but when confronting Chu Linfeng, she suddenly lost her composure. She couldn’t understand why she found this boy so disagreeable.
"You’re too arrogant, boy! How dare you be so rude to the Princess? Today, you will see my power!" Princess Qingyou shouted angrily, her long sword creating a dazzling display as she attacked Chu Linfeng.
Princess Qingyou was a Nether Emperor, equivalent to an Immortal Emperor. Judging by her attack strength, she was likely at the middle or late stage. Such attack power could not be underestimated, so Chu Linfeng dared not be too careless.
However, he already had a plan to counter her. Instantly, his mind flickered, and he used the Light Transformation. In an instant, he disappeared into thin air, leaving the audience puzzled, unable to comprehend how he vanished.
Princess Qingyou’s sword strike suddenly had no target, causing her heart to leap in alarm. It was now clear that this young man might be stronger than that girl. Such a formidable young man had never been heard of in the Netherworld, making her even more curious about their mysterious identities.
Having lost her target, Princess Qingyou grew cautious, immediately extending her Divine Sense to scan the surroundings. This disappearance must be the use of an Invisibility Technique. As long as he moved, she could detect his position; while it was passive, it was better than being directly attacked.
Chu Linfeng didn’t want to harm her but felt a slight lesson was necessary to show her the breadth of the world. He also couldn’t draw the attention of the entire city and bring out Qingyou City Lord King Zhao. That way, Chu Cheng and Princess Yiyi would know he had arrived in the Netherworld, allowing him to find them.
Chu Linfeng slowly approached Princess Qingyou, and she didn’t notice him because he moved very slowly, blending his body into the air. Even if she expanded her Divine Sense, she might not detect him.
As he reached the front of Princess Qingyou, Chu Linfeng swiftly grabbed the long sword from her hand. This sudden change caught Princess Qingyou off guard, and the long sword was seized, startling her to cold sweat.
After snatching her sword, Chu Linfeng flashed several dozen meters away, saying, "This long sword is nice. It should be a top-grade Nether Artifact. It could sell for a good price, enough for a few drinks."
Princess Qingyou was almost so frustrated to the point of spitting blood upon hearing this. Her sword, in his eyes, was merely worth a few rounds of drinks, yet this long sword was one of the highest-grade Nether Artifacts in the Netherworld, not obtainable even for thousands upon thousands of drinks.
This guy was practically wasting precious resources by saying such things. Now that her sword was taken, her attack power significantly dropped; she truly met her match this time.
"Boy, give my sword back! Besides sneaky tricks, what else can you do? If you have the skill, face the Princess openly. I bet you dare not; you seized my sword because you’re scared of me." Princess Qingyou spoke.
Chu Linfeng found himself at a loss of whether to laugh or cry, hearing her words, "Hey, you little girl, you clearly don’t use your brain! You tried to kill me, so what’s wrong with me taking your weapon? If you have the ability, come and get it back; why waste words?"
"You are just a rascal!" Princess Qingyou said.
On the ground, the spectators were greatly shocked. They hadn’t expected Qingyou City would see such heaven-defying figures. If these two came to cause trouble intentionally, Qingyou City would surely be left in turmoil by them due to their immense power.
People were intrigued by their identities, some assuming they were outstanding disciples from Hidden Clans, while others thought they were top-notch experts secretly cultivated by other three powers.
Chu Linfeng glanced at Princess Qingyou and said, "We didn’t come to cause trouble, so don’t test my limits. With your current strength, you’re not my opponent. Perhaps your father, King Zhao, has the qualification to fight me; you should let him come!"
Princess Qingyou’s face turned dark upon hearing the young man’s words that belittled her so severely—it was an intolerable insult to her.
"Even without a sword, this Princess can still defeat you. Boy, prepare to die!" Princess Qingyou shouted, flashing her figure and attacking Chu Linfeng with a palm strike.
And thus, she unleashed a furious strike; the sound of wind and thunder roared incessantly, causing the surrounding space to vibrate violently as if it would shatter with that palm strike.
Chu Linfeng didn’t pay any attention to the strength of her palm strike, instead advancing rapidly to face it. As her palm shadows were about to reach him, he also countered with a casual palm strike, solely to annoy her.
"Bang!" A loud explosion sounded in the air. Chu Linfeng used seventy percent strength, while Princess Qingyou exerted her full strength. Although Chu Linfeng’s realm was stronger than Princess Qingyou’s, it was a dead heat at that moment, or even slightly under her.
Princess Qingyou was sent flying tens of meters away but regained her posture, her masked face looking pale, with her chest heaving, those two spectacular aspects quivering appealingly.
Yet Chu Linfeng wasn’t the least interested in her appearance. Although Princess Qingyou was beautiful, she didn’t stir him; he thought perhaps she might be suited to his Cheng’er one day, given a chance to make her his daughter-in-law.
If Princess Qingyou knew this young man before her was pondering making her his daughter-in-law, she wondered how she would feel.
Chu Linfeng’s body also flew tens of meters away, but he felt no discomfort. He looked at Princess Qingyou and said with a grin, "With mere strength like this, you think you can take me on? Truly overestimating your abilities!"
"You bully my daughter and still speak so thoughtlessly. Aren’t you too arrogant? In Qingyou City, no one dares treat my daughter this way. Today, I shall meet you myself to see just how powerful you are!" Suddenly, a strong voice echoed in the air.
"King Zhao! King Zhao has appeared. This will be a great show. King Zhao is one of the top experts in the Netherworld. These two dared cause trouble in Qingyou City; they are doomed for sure!" Some in the crowd shouted loudly, fearing others might not know.
Lin Feng and Jade Immortal Emperor were slightly taken aback and looked toward the source of the voice. At this moment, a middle-aged man floated down beside Princess Qingyou...
