Chapter 89 - 88: Battle of the Imperial City

Chapter 89: Chapter 88: Battle of the Imperial City"Who is this person?" Zhou Bingyi felt the fierce aura emanating from Wang Shiqi and was somewhat frightened, hiding behind Ye Xuan. "An idiot," Ye Xuan glanced at the approaching Wang Shiqi and curled his lip. Had the lesson from last time not been enough for Wang Shiqi? Did he still dare to come looking for trouble? "General Wang, what is the meaning of this?" Li Zhan clenched his teeth, stood out, and gave a cupped fist salute to Wang Shiqi. "General Wang." Yan Feng and the others also hurriedly saluted Wang Shiqi. "So these are students from Lie Tian Academy," Wang Shiqi finally noticed Li Zhan, Yan Feng, and the others, cracked a slight smile, and said, "The Fiery Fire Army is handling matters, little friends should go back to sleep to avoid getting hurt; otherwise, I would find it difficult to explain to your elders." "Brother Feng, perhaps we should leave first. General Wang has been quite temperamental lately," a student from Lie Tian Academy showed a look of fear and whispered to Yan Feng. Yan Feng looked at Wang Shiqi, then at Ye Xuan, Zhou Youwei, and the three on the other side, with a contemplative expression. "No rush, let’s just stand aside and watch," Yan Feng said slowly, taking the initiative to lead Li Xue, He Xiao, and others to another side, planning to watch from the sidelines. Seeing Yan Feng and the others retreat, Wang Shiqi showed a satisfied look. However, his brows furrowed when he saw Li Zhan still standing before him: "Li Zhan, kid, what else do you want?" Wang Shiqi did recognize Li Zhan. The kid already came from an extraordinary background, his father being the Deputy Pavilion Master of Cloud Heaven Pavilion, and he himself was an inner disciple of Lie Tian Academy, teached by the Vice Dean, with a promising future ahead. Therefore, Wang Shiqi’s attitude towards Li Zhan was still quite decent. Li Zhan was on edge, facing one of the four great generals of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, the Fiery Fire General, the pressure he felt was imaginable. Clenching his teeth, he said, "I would like to ask General Wang, what brings you here on this trip?" Wang Shiqi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Li Zhan, and then turned his gaze back to Ye Xuan, speaking slowly, "Our Lie Tian Heavenly Country has already declared its independence from Emperor Immortal Sect recently. We now exist independently, no longer under the control of Emperor Immortal Sect. And now, I see people from Emperor Immortal Sect stepping foot in the Imperial City. Such actions are no different than a provocation towards Lie Tian Heavenly Country, and I am here to arrest someone." "Do you have any objections?" Wang Shiqi was not stupid; in fact, he was very clever. He saw that Ye Xuan and Li Zhan probably knew each other. So, he didn’t bother beating around the bush and simply slapped the charges on first. Hearing this, Li Zhan turned pale. This matter had exceeded his abilities. Although he was well-known among the younger generation, he simply wasn’t qualified to stand against someone on the level of the Fiery Fire General. Clenching his teeth, Li Zhan chose to step aside and said solemnly, "I wouldn’t dare." Seeing Li Zhan step aside, Wang Shiqi’s expression remained calm, unsurprised. He was one of the four great generals of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, only princes of the Sealing King rank, and the Emperor himself could pressure him. While Li Zhan’s background was notable, Cloud Heaven Pavilion was still within Lie Tian Heavenly Country, so he had to think twice before opposing him. "It looks like they won’t be able to escape General Wang’s trouble," Yan Feng and the others around him thought to themselves. As Yan Feng had surmised, Wang Shiqi was looking for trouble with Emperor Immortal Sect after having his pride wounded by them previously. Unwittingly, Yan Feng became somewhat curious about how Zhou Youwei and the other two would escape this crisis. Seeing Li Zhan’s protection, Yan Feng felt that there might be some formidable presence behind them. As Li Zhan gave way, no one else blocked Wang Shiqi’s path. He rode on his Fiery Flame Colt, approached Ye Xuan and the others leisurely, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "I’ve been missing you quite a bit since our last parting," Wang Shiqi said, a tinge of ferocity in his expression. Having been on the battlefield for years, Wang Shiqi exuded an iron-blooded aura that ordinary people couldn’t possess. The moment his killing intent moved, it could condense into substance, giving others the oppressive feeling as if a mountain were bearing down upon them! Boom———— Meanwhile. Zhou Youwei gripped her three-foot green peak, a blazing sun and a bright moon rose behind her, immediately illuminating the dark sky dome as bright as day! A terrifying anomaly, it nearly lit up the entire Imperial City! Everyone was shocked as they beheld the phenomenon. "The rumors about the Dual Divine Body are true!" "It seems, the gap between us and her is only widening," Yan Feng couldn’t help but sigh. A year ago, at the exchange meeting between Emperor Immortal Sect and Lie Tian Academy, Zhou Youwei and Leng Yifan swept aside Lie Tian Academy’s younger generation. That battle had the defeated students of Lie Tian Academy holding their breath, seeking vengeance. Yan Feng was no exception. But after today, he realized that some gaps are simply impossible to bridge. Wang Shiqi glanced at Zhou Youwei, even he had to admit, this Holy Daughter of Emperor Immortal Sect was truly terrifying. If Emperor Immortal Sect didn’t fall, she would definitely become an unrivaled figure in the future. However, how long the Emperor Immortal Sect could exist remains a question. "Ye Xuan, do you only dare to hide behind a woman?" Wang Shiqi’s gaze fell upon Ye Xuan as he spoke indifferently. Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm as he looked at Wang Shiqi and said slowly, "Wasn’t the lesson from last time enough? Do you need this young master to teach you a lesson on behalf of Wang Yanglong again?" "Shut up!" As if stepping on Wang Shiqi’s sore spot, his eyes instantly became gloomy, and he barked sharply. A terrifying pressure burst forth instantaneously, like a rushing mountain torrent, causing Li Zhan and the others to step back in shock, their faces filled with horror. "Last time someone from your Emperor Immortal Sect ambushed me and threw me out of your sect, it’s time I settled this account with you today," Wang Shiqi said coldly. "Come, take this general down!" Boom, boom, boom———— In an instant, a hundred of Wang Shiqi’s riders mobilized, uniform and precise, surrounding the three in the center. These were Wang Shiqi’s trusted aides, battle-hardened, all of them existed in the Inscriptions Realm, their martial prowess far surpassing ordinary Inscriptions Realm experts! Even a prince would have to give way to this hundred-rider squad. "It seems you really wish to die," muttered Ye Xuan, scanning Wang Shiqi with a glint of cold light in his eyes.

Zhou Youwei said icily and immediately took action. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! As soon as Zhou Youwei made her move, thousands of Sword Qi filled the sky, instantly causing the hundred riders to halt and rear up their horses, neighing loudly. "Damn, they’re really fighting!" This immediately startled the students from Lie Tian Academy nearby, who quickly retreated to a distance. "Zhou Youwei is truly terrifying, she’s only eighteen, right?" Many were shocked by Zhou Youwei’s strength. Facing off against the hundred riders of the Fiery Fire Army, she completely took the initiative—it was too strong. If it were them, they might have been overturned at just one encounter. "General Wang hasn’t taken action yet, once he does, Zhou Youwei will also be defeated," Yan Feng shook his head and said. Li Zhan’s face looked particularly ugly. Indeed, one trouble followed another, and he was already powerless in the current situation. "Father said there was a mysterious powerful person behind Young Master Ye, they should appear soon. However, after this incident escalates, it will do no good for us at Cloud Heaven Pavilion..." Li Zhan sighed inwardly. Without meaning to, Li Zhan glanced over at Li Xue beside Yan Feng. At that moment, Li Xue’s expression carried a hint of excitement, seemingly eager to witness Wang Shiqi strike down the three adversaries, including Ye Xuan. Li Zhan felt conflicted. This sister had been overly indulged, lacking even a sliver of judgment... Upon returning, he would definitely need to discipline her, else she might cause more trouble. Boom, boom, boom———— Zhou Youwei, with her sword in hand, directly disrupted the formation of the hundred riders from the Fiery Fire Army. If not for her need to protect Ye Xuan and Zhou Bingyi, this battle formation couldn’t have stopped her steps at all. "Indeed, nothing but a waste who can only hide behind a woman." Seeing that the hundred riders of the Fiery Fire Army couldn’t handle Zhou Youwei, Wang Shiqi’s expression turned cold. He suddenly flew up from his Fiery Flame Colt, charging straight for Ye Xuan! "Ye Xuan!" Zhou Bingyi exclaimed in alarm when she saw Wang Shiqi charging over, quickly cautioning Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan, watching Wang Shiqi approaching, remained calm and said lightly, "I wonder what tremors your death within the Imperial City, one of the four great generals, would cause." "An ant dares to claim my life?" Wang Shiqi’s aura surged tumultuously, coming down like a mountain. "Really?" Ye Xuan’s lips slowly curved into a smile. Boom! Above the vast sky, a huge black hand suddenly appeared, even overshadowing the Divine Body Phenomenon of Zhou Youwei. In that moment, everyone on the streets of the Imperial City instinctively looked towards the sky. Bang! Wang Shiqi’s figure, uncontrollably flung towards the dark hand, was promptly crushed into pulp when the dark hand slammed down, just as he was about to make contact!
