“Looks like this lesson wasn’t enough for you.” Xiao Yun’s eyes glinted, as a powerful wave of spirit energy descending on the Ninth Prince. “In that case, I’ll cripple you and turn you into an ordinary person who can’t cultivate. We’ll see if you can still be so arrogant after that.”
As Xiao Yun spoke, his palm shot towards the Ninth Prince.
“Don’t you dare!” Before Xiao Yun could land his attack, a powerful aura descended from above, causing the surrounding air to freeze.
“What powerful might; is this an Essence Core realm cultivator?” Xiao Yun’s eyebrows jumped and he sent out his spirit energy. He found that in the distance, there was an elder who was wearing a long robe and was walking on the air towards them. That aura was precisely from this person. This elder had a short beard and piercing eyes, and gave off an extraordinary air.
As soon as he appeared, he stretched out his palm and pushed out towards where Xiao Yun stood.
Heavenly Phoenix Palms?
A gigantic hand appeared, shining with light, as if it was surrounded by a divine halo. Within the palm, one could faintly see a claw that looked like it belonged to a divine beast. It was much more powerful than when the complete stage True Essence realm cultivator had used it.
This claw contained some traces of divinity, and could truly be called the Heavenly Phoenix Palms. The gigantic hand shone with light, illuminating the area around it, causing Xiao Yun to feel suffocated.
An Essence Core realm cultivator using such a powerful Martial Skill was able to make anyone quake in their shoes.
“Haha, it’s Twelfth Imperial Uncle.” The Ninth Prince was overjoyed and happily called out, “Imperial Uncle, help me kill this brat!”
“Kill me?” Xiao Yun’s gaze became cold, resisting the sense of suppression. He stepped out towards the Ninth Prince, wanting to use him as a hostage, but the Twelfth Imperial Uncle was simply too strong. He waved his hand, and a light flashed, increasing the monstrous pressure and causing Xiao Yun’s qi and blood to toss and turn within his body.
Pft!
A sweetness travelled up Xiao Yun’s throat as he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Under this might, he was almost unable to control the Essence Qi within his body.
“Kill him,” Seeing the Twelfth Imperial Uncle attack, Yuan Xiao, whose aura was incredibly weak, loudly laughed.
Now that an Essence Core realm expert was attacking, how could Xiao Yun survive?
“Yiya!”
At this moment, a fierce look appeared on Yiyi’s face. She leapt off Xiao Yun’s shoulder and punched out with her tiny first. Although she looked shockingly ferocious, Xiao Yun tightly frowned upon seeing this.
“Yiyi, no!” Xiao Yun cried out, his face full of worry. How could this little fellow fight against an Essence Core realm cultivator?
“It’s best to kill this little beast as well,” the Imperial Clan’s elders said with savage expressions. Just then, they had all suffered at Yiyi’s hands, and seeing that an expert from the Imperial Clan had arrived, they were ecstatic.
“Yiya!”
The snow-white little beast rushed forwards like a lightning bolt, astonishing everyone with its speed.
In the distance, everyone saw a tiny fist punch out, giving off ripples and dispelling the light around the attack. As the light disappeared, a sharp phoenix claw appeared. This was an incredibly realistic phoenix claw, and gave off mysterious ripples.
“You’re seeking death.” The Twelfth Imperial Uncle’s gaze became cold as the Heavenly Phoenix Palm slammed towards the snow-white little beast.
As the gigantic claw landed, a powerful aura descended on the snow-white little beast. Her body froze, and even the runes of light gathered around her fist dissipated. Now, it seemed unlikely that she would be able to block this attack from an Essence Core realm cultivator. Against such an expert, even she was completely helpless.
“Yiyi!” Seeing that the snow-white little beast was about to be hit by that gigantic claw, Xiao Yun’s pupils contracted, and he cried out. What would he do if anything happened to this little beast?
“Please be fine!” Thinking to how this little fellow had always taken the initiative to fight his enemies for him, Xiao Yun’s eyes became red. Strength! Strength! Only with enough strength could he protect himself and those around him.
Just as Xiao Yun stared with red eyes, his heart incredibly taut, the little fellow punched against the gigantic claw.
Bang!
An explosion sounded out. The light around the snow-white little beast’s fist collapsed, unable to resist the Essence Core realm cultivator’s attack in the slightest.
Following this, the ma.s.sive claw landed on the little fellow’s body.
“Ahh!!” Xiao Yun couldn’t help but cry out, and he felt as if his heart had shattered. His eyes became misty, and tears almost rolled out of them. After being hit by this attack, wouldn’t the little fellow become meat paste?
“What a pity. It would have been good to capture it alive.” The Ninth Prince revealed a disappointed look, silently regretting that he did not ask his Twelfth Imperial Uncle to hold back. From all that had happened just then, he knew that the little snow-white beast definitely wasn’t ordinary.
If he obtained this little fellow, he would have had an extra helper.
Whoosh!
The snow-white little beast flew like a broken kite through the air.
Bang!
Yiyi heavily slammed onto the pavilion, completely destroying the portion that she crashed into. Following this, the little fellow landed amidst the rubble.
“Yiyi!” Xiao Yun cried out, feeling as if his eyes were going to burst, the hatred within his heart overflowing to the heavens. Such a cute and innocent little beast had died just like that, making him feel an immense sense of heartache.
The Heaven-Devouring Sparrow also frowned and flew over to Xiao Yun’s side with a heavy expression. Essence Core realm cultivators were simply too powerful, and even it would not be able to fight against this expert.
“Is it dead?” Seeing the snow-white little beast fall among the rubble, the Imperial Clan’s people and Xiao Yuan stared.
In the air, the Twelfth Imperial Uncle stood with his hands behind his back, coldly looking down.
Suddenly, there was movement under the broken bricks and tiles, and the snow-white little beast Yiyi appeared within everyone’s sight. She was covered in dust, and looked quite pitiful.
“Yiya!”
Yiyi shook her body, causing dust to rise, once again revealing her cute snow-white body.
“It’s not dead?” The Imperial Clan’s people stared in shock. Even the Twelfth Imperial Uncle in the air had a dumbfounded look on his face.
“She’s not dead?” Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows, staring at the little fellow. The little fellow’s eyes were extremely bright and lively.
Whoosh!
Seeing Xiao Yun worriedly staring at her, she leapt onto his shoulder with a ‘whoosh’.
“Are you hurt?” Xiao Yun asked as he examined the little beast. Even though she looked fine, she had just taken a blow from an Essence Core realm expert!
“Yiya!”
The little snow-white beast nuzzled Xiao Yun with her head, smiling carefreely and looking incredibly cute.
“It’s good that you’re fine. It’s good that you’re fine,” Xiao Yun muttered as he stroked her soft fur. Seeing that Yiyi was safe, he let out a breath.
All of the other cultivators were completely flabbergasted – evidently, this little snow-white beast was more or less fine.
“Even Essence Core realm cultivators can’t harm it?” Yuan Xiao stared. He had just seen this snow-white little beast be struck by an incredibly powerful attack!
Even Xiao Yun felt quite confused.
Yiyi definitely didn’t have Essence Core realm cultivation, because she had been easily blown back by that attack. However, if she did not have Essence Core realm cultivation, how could she survive such a powerful attack?
“This fellow’s cultivation has declined, but her fleshly body’s still incredibly tough,” the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow muttered.
“Her fleshly body is still tough?” Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at Yiyi. After examining her with his spirit energy, he found that she really hadn’t taken much damage.
“It’s actually fine after taking a blow from me; what a rare spiritual beast.” In the air, the Twelfth Imperial Uncle stroked his beard as he muttered, “It’s a pity that its strength isn’t enough. From today onwards, it can follow this old man.”
Star-Seizing Hands!
The Twelfth Imperial Uncle stretched out with his hand as his eyes glinted, grabbing towards Xiao Yun and the snow-white little beast. A gigantic hand of light appeared and created a binding, as if it had sealed off the heavens and earth. It was like a gigantic hand that wanted to grab the moon in the sky, and was simply unstoppable. As the hand descended, Xiao Yun frowned, feeling incredibly helpless.
This skill was made especially for capturing people, as opposed to injuring them. It was simply inescapable, and its target could only wait to be captured. Xiao Yun and Yiyi’s cultivations were far too weak, and they could not resist at all.
The Ninth Prince and the others coldly watched, a savage look on their faces. As soon as the Twelfth Imperial Uncle had arrived, the conclusion had been determined, and there was nothing for them to worry about anymore.
“Old Twelfth, stop!” At this moment, a loud voice boomed out like thunder. This voice caused the heavens and earth to tremble, and a powerful aura swept out. A formless might instantly dissipated the Twelfth Imperial Uncle’s Star-Seizing Hand.
The Ninth Prince and the others stared in shock as they looked towards the distance.
Even the Twelfth Imperial Uncle stared in shock.
“Imperial Brother?” The Twelfth Imperial Uncle frowned and stopped attacking. Not too far away, two men had arrived in a flash of light, standing in the air.
The man standing at the front was wearing a dragon robe. He had an imposing and impressive appearance, and had majestic-looking eyes. He swept his gaze around, giving off an inviolable air. Where he appeared, the air seemed to completely freeze.
By his side was an elder who also looked quite extraordinary. Just by standing there, he gave off a mountain-like aura. Evidently, he was also at least an Essence Core realm cultivator.
Xiao Yun recognised that man – the instant he had appeared, Xiao Yun had frowned, thinking to himself.
“Eldest Uncle?” A strange look appeared on Yuan Xiao’s face, feeling quite confused. That man was evidently the Yuan family’s Eldest Patriarch, Yuan Lin.
The Imperial Clan’s people felt quite confused, not knowing why the Emperor had come here. Regardless, they struggled to their knees and paid their respects to him.
“We pay our respects to you, Your Majesty.”
The man in the dragon robes was evidently the Moonwind Kingdom’s Emperor.
“Old Twelfth, what are you doing?” Emperor Feng looked at the elder in front of him, his eyes burning like a torch.
“Imperial Brother, this boy wanted to harm the Ninth Prince, so I had to act,” the Twelfth Imperial Uncle explained to Emperor Feng.
“Zhu’Er, what exactly happened?” Emperor Feng’s gaze became serious as he looked at the Ninth Prince and spoke in a strict tone.
“Imperial Father, this Xiao Yun wanted to kill me,” the Ninth Prince said as he raised his head. “He also stole our clan’s formation flags, so please uphold justice for your son.”
