“Screw you!” Feng WII’s face darkened when she saw Jun Linyuan’s injury.
Jun Linyuan had been losing ground since the battle started, and he had been injured twice.
Feng Wu felt so sorry for him.
However, the discussion only made her angrier.
Behind her were the people of Northern Yan.
They were discussing among themselves.
‘Wait, is that Jun Linyuan? The crown prince?”
“The most powerful man? I think he’s just the most powerful man in the Junwu
Empire. He’s not like that in the Northern Yan Kingdom.”
“That’s right. The most powerful man in Northern Yan is Gui Qulai, the swordsman.”
“And there’s the Patriarch. I heard that he gave Gui Qulai a new sword, Heaven
Demon. From now on, he’ll be known as Gui Qulai, the Heaven Demon Swordsman.”
“So many people have been praising Jun Linyuan, and here I was, wondering how capable Jun Linyuan would be. As it turned out, he’s still going to lose.”
“That’s right! Northern Yan is the most powerful force on this continent, and the Junwu Empire is nothing! We’re superior to them!”
Feng Wu was angry and worried.
She was angry because Jun Linyuan had to fight when he was still injured while Gui Qulai had upgraded his equipment. To make it worse, she had given the sword to Gui Qulai.
She was worried that Jun Linyuan’s injury would get worse.
All of a sudden, nine streaks of sword energy shot out at Jun Linyuan!
“Eight of them are fake, and only one of them is real.” Feng Wu heard a voice.
Feng Wu was confused. It wasn’t Feng Xun.
Turning her head, she saw that someone else had joined her.
No, it wasn’t a human being, but an eagle.
The giant eagle.
The Patriarch’s giant eagle!
Feng Wu was elated! That was right! She still had her Sixth Senior Brother. If things got worse, she could always ask him to stop the unfair battle.
“Did you just say that eight of them are fake and one is real?” Feng Wu looked at the eagle in bewilderment.
The giant eagle sat there like a human being, and it had deliberately adjusted its size. Therefore, many people who had been watching the battle didn’t notice the eagle next to Feng Wu.
Staring at the battle in the sky, the giant eagle narrowed its eyes as if it was thinking about something.
“It’s a unique swordplay. If that kid can find out which is the real one, he’ll be able to turn things around,” the giant eagle had never been so serious.
Feng Wu looked up in a hurry.
The nine streaks of dragon-like sword energy each had a different color, and they looked like nine dragons. Which one was real?
“You won’t recognize it,” the giant eagle said unhurriedly.
Feng Wu was so frustrated that she couldn’t recognize it, for she wasn’t capable enough yet. If that was the case, why would the silly bird tell her?
Just then, Feng Wu heard a voice in her head.
The green one.
wait!
Feng Wu recognized the voice as Little Phoenix’s. She was the only one who could hear it.
“Green?” Feng Wu repeated in bewilderment.
As a matter of fact, she was asking Little Phoenix, but the giant eagle didn’t know that.
“You can tell?!” The giant eagle stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
She reacted quickly and stared at the giant eagle. “How do you know that?”
The eagle glanced at Feng Wu and said proudly, “Of course I do. I know everything. But how did you guess it? Why did you guess green?”
Feng Wu didn’t have time to talk about it. Instead, she focused on the sky. The eagle wouldn’t let go of Feng Wu. “How did you know that? How?”
Feng Wu looked up at the sky and asked the eagle, “Then how did you know?”
The eagle said, “Of course I know. Gui Qulai didn’t understand the sword intent himself and had been walking back and forth outside our tower for months. He almost pulled his hair off, but my master explained it to him. I was there. How do you think I knew?”
Seeing that Feng Wu was going to shout, the giant eagle stopped her. “Stop it. It’s not fair.”
Feng Wu said angrily, “Giving Gui Qulai the Heaven Demon Sword was the most unfair thing! Why can’t I tell Jun Linyuan?”
“No, you can’t.” The eagle wrapped its wings around Feng Wu.
Feng Wu said, “…I’m going to tell Sixth Senior Brother that you’ve been bullying me!”
The eagle panicked. “Hey, don’t do that! I’ll let go of you, alright? But you can’t tell on me.”
The eagle thought, “I guess I can’t help Gui Qulai anymore.” After all, Feng Wu had the Patriarch behind her.
Feng Wu grunted. When she crawled out from under the wings and looked up at the sky, she saw…
“Wait a minute!”
Feng Wu was surprised, and so was the giant eagle.
Because by then, the eight sword images were gone, and all that was left was the green sword energy!
The green sword flew toward Jun Linyuan like a giant dragon, and Jun Linyuan grabbed it.
Right now, he looked like a sovereign lord, so powerful that it was an unmatched visual impact.
“He, he…” The eagle turned to look at Feng Wu and stammered in surprise. “He guessed it, didn’t he?”
Feng Wu gloated. “No, he didn’t! Jun Linyuan is the smartest person! Just live with it!”
The eagle said, “I don’t believe you. He must have guessed it.”
Feng Wu gloated. “Even if that’s the case, it’s only because he’s unbelievably lucky. Luck is a part of one’s capability. What are you going to do about it?!”
The eagle said, ‘You’re on his side!”
Feng Wu said, “That’s right! I’m on his side! What are you going to do?!”
The eagle was furious. What was there to be proud of? He was just a teenager who had almost been defeated by Gui Qulai. What was there to be proud of…
Well…
The eagle scratched its head. Gui Qulai seemed to be quite a capable cultivator. It couldn’t defeat him when he was twenty.
The bird stopped thinking about it.
While the eagle was watching the battle in the sky and saw the tens of thousands of sword energies shooting out like erupting volcanoes, it shuddered all of a sudden, and countless sword intents appeared in its head…
It seemed that it was going to break its bottleneck.
“s.h.i.+t!” Little Phoenix cried out in Feng Wu’s ear.
Feng Wu asked, “What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
Little Phoenix pointed at the eagle with a long face. “It, it… It’s going to make a breakthrough in advance, and it’ll be stronger than me again. It’ll be able to pick on me again. Gosh, that’s so frustrating!”
Feng Wu looked at the giant eagle in surprise. The bird indeed looked like it was having an epiphany.
Little Phoenix’s wailing voice rang out in Feng Wu’s ears again. “We magical beasts aren’t like you humans. You need an epiphany to make a breakthrough. It’s already very difficult for magical beasts to gain intelligence, but an epiphany is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Therefore, we usually don’t need an epiphany during breakthroughs.
“But if you have an epiphany, your cultivation level will rise by a lot more than one or two levels!
Little Phoenix cried. “It’s having an epiphany now! It’s having an epiphany!” Feng Wu gave Little Phoenix a sympathetic look, then looked at the eagle…
Feng Wu noticed that the ap.r.o.n she made for the eagle in her spare time was hanging on its back, and the pocket was stuffed with nuts, sweets, and snacks.
This bird..
“It’s just here to enjoy the show.” Feng Wu said in resignation.
“How many breakthroughs can it make?” That was what Little Phoenix cared about the most.
If the eagle only made one or two breakthroughs, Little Phoenix might be able to catch up with it. However, if it made too many breakthroughs… Little Phoenix still remembered how the eagle had stopped it when it tried to enter the tower. It was so frustrating.
Feng Wu looked at Little Phoenix and shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know either.
Meanwhile, things had turned around in mid-air.
When Jun Linyuan exerted his full power, Gui Qulai began to lose ground.
Feng Wu almost jumped to her feet.
“Jun Linyuan held back because he wanted to see how capable Gui Qulai was!” Feng Wu turned to the eldest prince. “He’s exerting his full power now!”
The eldest prince’s face was a little pale.
He had never thought that Jun Linyuan would win.
How could he possibly win?
Who was Gui Qulai?
Gui Qulai was born a genius. When he was little, the Patriarch taught him how to use a sword. He started challenging masters of various sects when he was ten and became a Spiritual Saint when he was twenty. From then on, he was invincible!
He had even been to that legendary kingdom on the other side of the East Sea and had come back safe and sound!
Jun Linyuan was indeed an incredible cultivator, but Gui Qulai, who had fought so many battles and stood at the top of the world, wasn’t someone Jun Linyuan could defeat.
Therefore, when Jun Linyuan was at a disadvantage at first, the eldest prince couldn’t understand why everyone was saying that Jun Linyuan wasn’t good enough. Wasn’t it obvious? There was no way he could win.
But now…
The eldest prince stood there in astonishment.
Jun Linyuan didn’t even use the arm of discipline. He was using the half-damaged Sky Destroyer that Feng Wu had mentioned.
The Sky Destroyer was scarlet red in color, and wherever the sword went, blood splashed everywhere.
One strike, two strikes, three strikes…
By then, Gui Qulai had been stabbed over a dozen times.
The eldest prince couldn’t sit still anymore. Rising to his feet, he clenched his fists and stared at Jun Linyuan.
Meanwhile, Huyan Yichen was equally dumbfounded.
It was five or six years ago when Jun Linyuan came to the Northern Yan Kingdom last time.
Huyan Yichen believed that Jun Linyuan was a genius back then, but he wasn’t as capable as he was now. He had cornered Gui Qulai, who couldn’t fight back.
Huyan Yichen looked back at Feng Wu. Right now, all Feng Wu cared about was Jun Linyuan.
He then recalled how he had overestimated himself and fallen in love with Feng Wu… Not only that, but he had also thrown a tantrum for hours. Huyan Yichen was so ashamed that he almost dropped to the ground.
Meanwhile, someone else was equally astonished..
