The endlessly long brows shined with a layer of frost around them .
A Giant just needed to swing their hand to have an earth-shattering power, akin to a god unleashing their power - such oppressive pressure .
Feiyun could only fly backward or the brows would cut off his neck .
“Whoosh!” The three half-steps rushed forward aggressively . They looked like three swords blocking his path . In the distant, dozens of cultivators took up positions, readied their techniques to attack at any moment .
Feiyun stood on an open field . The branches of the plum trees swayed back and forth from the cold wind . The petals also fell down his head and face .
Long Shenya came out of the resting chamber and stood on top of the stone steps . Behind him was the majestic palace . He looked quite at ease as he laughed: “Feng Feiyun, you’re not escaping today . After I’m done with you, I will capture Nangong Hongyan and take the letter and robe . She’ll be my Divine Consort after I become emperor!”
He purposely provoked Feiyun . This person was crafty and intelligent . If he had courage and toughness, he would be a great emperor in the future .
Feiyun smiled back: “Long Shenya, do you know why you’re inferior to Luofu? I’ll let you know, the letter has Luofu’s name written on it . ”
Feiyun naturally didn’t know and only wanted to provoke the guy back .
“Impossible, I’m as talented as can be, bestowed the role of crown prince ten years ago . That letter has my name!” Shenya nearly shouted . The more he cared about the content of the letter, the more insecure he seemed .
“Your inferiority is irrefutable . Jin Emperor gave the Queen’s Order to Consort Hua and the imperial carriage to Luofu, that clearly shows his intent . ” Feiyun went on .
Shenya’s eyes rolled in contemplation . He suddenly laughed out loud: “Haha! All nonsense, Feiyun, you just want to buy time for reinforcement . Unfortunately, I won’t let it happen . Men, kill him . ”
“Boom!” A group of palaces nearby crumbled as a cluster of clouds descended .
Consort Hua rode the clouds, wearing her phoenix crest and looking quite elegant . She swung her sleeve and blew away two nearest cultivators from the Beiming Clan . She then finished them off by stretching her hand forward, turning them into drops of blood .
She cultivated the Supreme Refinement Scripture, a great and mighty art . Just a single wave was destructive enough .
Before marrying the emperor, she was an incredible genius . After entering the harem, she became pampered even more with endless resources and personally trained by the emperor . Her cultivation naturally soared .
She had a peerless aura, one befitting of her status . The cultivators from the Beiming became intimidated .
Feiyun felt much better after seeing the reinforcement . The Northern Chief Attendant might not be her match .
However, in another floating golden palace a hundred meter up above surrounded by clouds, a slender and delicate hand came down to stop Consort Hua .
It wasn’t far from here, only ten miles away - the palace of Consort Beiming .
She wore a long gown to cover her snow-white skin, standing in front of her palace . Her black hair draped down and fluttered with the wind .
She looked just like a goddess from above with long ribbons coiled around her arms . She grabbed a group of stars and aimed it straight at Consort Hua .
This daughter of Beiming Moshou used to be the prettiest in her clan . She was talented enough to be a half-step before marrying the emperor . The palaces trembled before her first move .
Consort Hua didn’t relent and rushed to the sky to fight against Consort Beiming .
The other concubines instantly ran away, not wanting to be involved .
Thunder detonated above the clouds along with loud explosions . The battle between these two great women was quite shocking .
Though they served the same man, their relationship wasn’t that good, more like enemies .
In fact, a harem could never exist in peace . There would always be competition and scheming in the background . They wanted nothing more than to kill each other .
Moreover, the throne was on the line as well so they didn’t hold back at all .
“Feng Feiyun, Consort Hua can’t even take care of herself, who can save you now?” Shenya was very confident since he knew his mother’s cultivation .
He gave the order to kill again . Three half-steps went forward with their strongest attack .
Beiming Xiao had lost to Feiyun before so he hated the guy the most, so his attack was the cruelest . He took out his soulbound artifact - a three-meter-long black sword with runes flowing on the blade, clearly made from extraordinary metal .
“Whoosh!” The sword cut through the wind .
Beiming Tong took out a green seal as big as a grinder . A mountain brushed by it instantly cracked and crumbled .
The third half-step was a physical expert with a golden glow on his skin . His attacked rendered the vegetation nearby into dust .
They went all out in order to kill Feiyun as fast as possible .
Feiyun used his ring for protection while attacking with his Ascension Platform and weapon essence .
“Boom!” He gathered his beast souls for a palm strike before getting entangled with the physical-art user . The shockwaves made the pores on the arm of this half-step bleed continuously .
An ordinary cultivator could have ten divine intents but they couldn’t use it at will, unable to exert the full power . Only a Giant could control these intents, using two spirit treasures at once while maintaining full power .
However, Feiyun was only at the fourth-level yet he could multitask so well with his treasures and abilities .
Northern Palace Chief Attendant didn’t join in, only watching to prevent Feiyun from escaping . After all, Feiyun’s movement technique was strange . There would be no catching him again if he were to escape .
“How can he fight against three half-steps? Can he even be stronger than my cousin?” Shenya was jealous . He was considered a historical genius but Feiyun completely overshadowed him .
“His divine intents are strong, capable of multi-tasking with no problem, quite a rare ability but in terms of actual combat, he might not be able to beat Young Noble Beiming . ” The attendant answered .
“Then what are you waiting for? Capture him already to avoid any needless complication . ” Shenya was worried since he needed to catch Nangong Hongyan before she escapes the capital .
The attendant shook his head: “No need, those three are enough to hold him here . He’s still only a fourth-level Heaven’s Mandate, not a match for three half-steps so he’ll lose within fifteen minutes . ”
“I can’t wait that long . Suppress him right now so I can stomp on him!” Shenya insisted .
The attendant had no choice but to gather his power . It awakened just like a dragon .
“Boom!” Right at this second, Feiyun also made his move . The area below his feet suddenly flashed as he shifted to the right to escape the physical-art half-step .
At the same time, he used all of his treasures against Beiming Xiao and blew him flying . He smashed into a palace and got caught up in the ruins .
There was finally a gap in the blockade . Feiyun used his Swift Samsara and turned into a phantom to escape the area on top of barely blocking the attack from the Chief Attendant .
If the attendant didn’t join in, Feiyun wouldn’t have the chance to run since that guy would be able to push him back into the blockade .
However, Feiyun purposely acted cool against the three half-steps so that Shenya would lose his patience and order the attendant to join in . Feiyun was waiting precisely for that split second .
The Beiming cultivators nearby wanted to stop him but he had the momentum and managed to knock them to the ground .
‘I wonder how is it going outside the capital right now . ’ Feiyun flew above the palaces like the wind while his pursuers fell behind .
It didn’t take long before they lost him completely . Not even a Giant could match him in terms of speed right now . Trapping him for a second time was prohibitively difficult .
