Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 338: Chapter 337: You Are Not Qualified Enough

Ling Fei’s aggressive move against Li Qinghou drew the attention of countless onlookers.

Whispers began to spread, leading many to believe that Ling Fei was trying to kill Li Qinghou to settle a grudge from his time in the Great Tang Empire.

As a result, public opinion turned sharply against Ling Fei.

This was because Ling Fei had been in the spotlight far too much recently.

He had displayed peerless talent in both the Alchemy Dao and Martial Arts.

This naturally inspired both envy and immense jealousy.

So when they saw Ling Fei aggressively trying to kill an old foe, they were naturally displeased.

Rage surged within the Third Prince.

He stared coldly at Ling Fei, his expression demanding an explanation.

In response, Ling Fei remained nonchalant, still perched atop the Golden Eagle.

Even as the crowd murmured and some began to denounce him, his composure remained completely unshaken.

If anything, the killing intent in his eyes only intensified.

”Third Prince? Li Xun?” Ling Fei’s gaze swept over the Third Prince who had suddenly intervened, his voice as cold as ice.

”I am Li Xun, Third Prince of the Great Tang Empire,” Li Xun announced arrogantly.

”You intend to protect Li Qinghou?” Ling Fei asked. His indifferent gaze made it clear he didn’t consider Li Xun worth his notice.

”Of course.”

Li Xun looked down on him. ”I could not concern myself with what happened in the Empire,” he said, ”but you will not act so presumptuously here in the Lingyun Sect.”

As a Prince on the verge of stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm, he had his own pride.

”Haha! What a ’Prince.’ But if you think you can protect Li Qinghou, you’re not nearly qualified enough.” Ling Fei laughed, but his laughter was laced with a chilling intent. His gaze hardened as he stared down at the Third Prince, Li Xun.

”Today, Li Qinghou *will* die!”

As his deep voice faded, Ling Fei shot down from the Golden Eagle’s back.

”That Ling Fei is so arrogant!” His words immediately drew expressions of displeasure from many nearby cultivators.

After all, the Third Prince, Li Xun, was on the cusp of entering the Nascent Soul Realm.

He also cultivated the Royal Family’s True Dragon Technique. How could his strength possibly be compared to that of an ordinary Celestial Pill Realm cultivator?

For Ling Fei to dare speak so brazenly to the Third Prince was the height of arrogance. Did he really think killing a few Celestial Pill Realm experts made him invincible?

Many people were thoroughly displeased with Ling Fei.

”Heh, I hear the Third Prince possesses a Profound Spirit Treasure. Let’s see how he deals with this Ling Fei,” someone sneered.

As they murmured, Ling Fei, who was now diving from the Golden Eagle, unleashed a torrent of Dragon Qi, which immediately erupted into a vast Dragon’s Might.

Majestic Soul Essence also poured into the Beiming Sword Shield.

An astonishing aura erupted. Dragon Qi vibrated through the Void, and the faint sound of a dragon’s cry echoed.

On closer inspection, Ling Fei resembled a Sword Dragon, hurtling toward the Third Prince below.

The Dragon Qi from his sword surged forth, forming a veritable river that crashed down. The terrifying pressure made the hearts of Li Qinghou and the others below pound with fear.

”Such powerful momentum!”

”’He’s one with his sword, and it’s a Profound Spirit Treasure!’ As he struck, the chattering cultivators were instantly stunned into silence.”

The power emanating from the Long Sword was immense.

Man and sword as one.

Most cultivators could achieve this state.

However, achieving such a state with a Profound Spirit Sword was exceedingly difficult for a Primordial Pill Realm cultivator.

Therefore, upon seeing Ling Fei execute such a perfect strike, the cultivators who had just been jeering were left completely dumbfounded.

Among them were more than a few Half-step Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses.

’He can completely control a Profound Spirit Treasure?’ Even the Third Prince’s pupils contracted. ’His Dragon Qi is incredibly powerful.’

’Could he really be Father’s illegitimate son? Did he obtain Father’s True Dragon Technique?’

Suspicion filled the Third Prince’s mind.

It was difficult to imagine an ordinary cultivator condensing such pure True Dragon Qi.

Shaken, the Third Prince finally made his move.

With a flip of his palm, a glittering golden mace appeared in his hand.

The Golden Mace was engraved with a True Dragon and radiated Dragon’s Might.

It was a Profound Spirit Treasure, an artifact of the Royal Family, a Supreme Treasure gifted to the Third Prince by the Celestial Emperor several years prior.

With the Golden Dragon Mace in hand, he poured a majestic surge of Dragon Qi into it. The Dao Patterns on the mace instantly activated, and an overwhelming True Dragon’s Might swept forth.

ROAR!

As the True Dragon’s Might billowed out, it was accompanied by the cry of a dragon.

The Third Prince shot into the Void, wielding the Golden Dragon Mace, and brought it smashing down on the approaching Sword Dragon.

Golden light flared. The Golden Mace, moving like a dragon, smashed toward Ling Fei.

’He has a Profound Spirit Treasure, too?’ As the Golden Dragon Mace descended, Ling Fei’s Sword Momentum shifted. He shot upward like a True Dragon bursting from the waves.

From a distance, it looked as though two True Dragons were locked in combat.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion resounded. The clash of Dragon Qi made the Void itself seem on the verge of collapse. The resulting shockwave slammed outward like a tidal wave, its terrifying fluctuations threatening to annihilate the very heavens and earth. The might of this single blow was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouse; few below the Nascent Soul Realm could have withstood it.

As the shockwave spread, the nearby cultivators held their breath.

Even the Half-step Nascent Soul Realm cultivators felt their hearts stir, their eyes glued to the Void, anxious to see the outcome.

Within the Void, terrifying fluctuations crashed down. Each ripple was like a powerful attack, leaving no room to even breathe.

The attack had been at point-blank range; even Ling Fei couldn’t avoid the resulting shockwave.

BAM, BAM!

The shockwave struck with such speed that there was no time to activate a Spiritual Treasure for defense.

Thus, both Ling Fei and the Third Prince were about to be engulfed by the shockwave.

The wave of Dragon Qi crashed forward, tyrannical and overwhelming. The Void trembled in its wake.

”True Dragon Guard!” The Third Prince’s eyes narrowed. With a single thought, Light Patterns shot from his body, transforming into numerous Qi Dragons.

The Qi Dragons roared and charged forward to block the immense shockwave.

Seizing the opportunity, he hastily retreated to avoid being injured by the blast.

BAM, BAM!

However, the Dragon Qi manifested by the Third Prince was crushed bit by bit, completely unable to withstand the might of the shockwave.

Even though the Third Prince had reached the Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm and had condensed True Dragon Patterns within his body—patterns he could turn into attacks or defenses with a mere thought—this was still a hastily erected defense. How could its power possibly compare to the shockwave generated by their all-out clash?

BAM, BAM!

Even so, the Third Prince was struck by the shockwave. His body staggered in the Void before he was sent flying backward.

PFFT!

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from the Third Prince’s lips.

’To think Ling Fei could unleash so much of the Profound Spirit Treasure’s power.’ After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the Third Prince steadied himself, a look of astonishment in his eyes.

’After all, I’m a Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse. The strength of my soul is far beyond that of any ordinary cultivator.’

’I can wield nearly sixty percent of this Profound Spirit Treasure’s Power.’

’Combined with my True Dragon Divine Techniques, the power of my attack was infinitely close to that of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.’

’And yet, even an attack like that failed to crush him. Instead, our clash produced such an astonishing shockwave.’

’It was clear Ling Fei’s strike was no weaker than my own.’

’However, I am a Quasi-Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse who has already mastered the True Dragon Mystical Technique. I’m only one step away from fully merging the Mystical Technique Pattern with my Nascent Soul and entering the Nascent Soul Realm. Even though this shockwave is powerful, the attack I can muster with a single thought is also extremely strong. It neutralized thirty percent of the shockwave’s Power.’

Though shocked, the Third Prince’s mind was already racing, calculating the situation.

’But Ling Fei is only at the Primordial Pill Realm. He hasn’t mastered any Mystical Technique Patterns. Even if he can conjure an attack with a thought to resist the shockwave, that attack could never compare to mine. At best, he could only neutralize ten percent of its Power.’

’Perhaps not even ten percent. In that case, he’s bound to be gravely injured.’

At this thought, a cold smirk touched the Third Prince’s lips.
