My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Profound Theory Cultivator knew that, while he could disrespect the Third Princess’s authority, he could not do the same to the His Imperial Majesty.

After all, the Emperor had invested heavily in the construction of the Phoenix Palace. Just now, he had already emitted his Supreme Realm energy in order to intimidate Qingfeng Li, damaging the building in the process.

Profound Theory Cultivator glanced at the Third Princess. “On your account,” he said, “I promise that, if Qingfeng Li can withstand one strike from me, I will leave.”

The Third Princess opened her mouth, seeming to want to say more, but was stopped by Qingfeng Li waving his hand. To anyone else, Profound Theory Cultivator may be an extremely powerful foe, but Qingfeng Li was not afraid.

If the opponent had been a Third Level Supreme Realm master, Qingfeng Li might not have been a match for him. But right now, the opponent was only a First Level Supreme Realm master. With his current strength, Qingfeng Li could still withstand him with the Strangle Hell Fist.

Qingfeng Li smiled. “Swing your fist, then,” he said.

Seeing the confidence on Qingfeng Li’s face, a hint of displeasure appeared in Profound Theory Cultivator’s eyes.

He was a master of the Supreme Realm; self-cultivators had always treated him with respect. Even in all of Lingyun, he was a powerful figure, but Qingfeng Li did not seem to be concerned about him at all.

Gathering his immense vital essence into his fist, Profound Theory Cultivator intended to use one powerful attack to mortally wound Qingfeng Li. Even if it didn’t kill him, he intended to inflict serious injuries or to break his bones.

The energy radiating from Profound Theory Cultivator was very powerful. This was the energy of a master of the Supreme Realm. Li Yang and Princess Red-Swallow both backed up; they were the weakest people in the room and were completely unable to withstand the onslaught.

Inside the Phoenix Palace, tables, chairs, and stools were all shattered by the barrage of energy, reduced to fragments and then disappearing. Even the Palace itself began to wobble; cracks appeared on the floor under the force of a master of the Supreme Realm.

Just then, an old man in green appeared out of thin air. The figure abruptly raised both hands and crossed them, creating a massive defensive energy veil.

A strange light radiated from the defensive energy veil. The figure threw the energy veil down heavily and enveloped the Phoenix Palace, protecting it against Profound Theory Cultivator’s Supreme level energy.

The Third Princess’ eyes lit up. “Grand Chamberlain,” she exclaimed. “You’re here.”

The white-haired old man nodded toward the Third Princess with a smile.

This was no ordinary old man; he was the head of staff of the Emperor of Lingyun. His power was unfathomable.

He had also studied arrays during his younger years. Just now, he had used a protective array to block the power of the Supreme Realm energy and preserve the Phoenix Palace.

Profound Theory Cultivator gazed at the white-haired old man, a glint in his eyes. He knew that the other was a powerful master. Luckily, he had not forcibly destroyed the Phoenix Palace just now. Otherwise, the arrival of the old man would have been extremely problematic.

Profound Theory Cultivator swung his right fist casually. His movements appeared slow, but were in reality extremely quick. He appeared, not in the air, but in the void.

This was the Void Fist, capable of moving from one dimension to another, but only within a short distance of about fifty meters.

Traversing the void for long distances required a massive amount of vital essence and spirit energy. Even a master of the Supreme Realm could not do so. That was something only saints or immortals could accomplish.

Qingfeng Li was startled, as well, when he saw the old man appear in the void; he hadn’t expected him to have mastered a technique like the Void Fist.

It was a good thing that Qingfeng Li had his clairvoyance, and that he had studied spatial seal scriptures; he was able to see the fist techniques being used in the void clearly. Otherwise, he would have been in big trouble.

“Seventh Fist to Shatter the Body!” Qingfeng Li shouted.

And before him, there appeared a massive black fist. The fist seemed to be a thing from Hell, extremely powerful, but uncanny and chilling. This black fist collided with the Void Fist, resulting in an ear-shattering boom. The entire world seemed to be shattered, the space crackling like a broken mirror.

Fortunately, the Phoenix Palace was protected by the grand chamberlain’s defensive array and was therefore undamaged.

Even so, the violent energy radiated outward in all directions.

Li Yang and Princess Red-Swallow both let out a cry as they fainted, heads lolling to the side; Their faces pale were pale, and blood leaked from their mouths.

Black Puppy’s expression also shifted. It backed up repeatedly, unable to withstand the energy released by a battle between two masters with strengths in the Supreme Realm.

Only two individuals were able to endure this onslaught; they were the Grand Chamberlain and the Third Princess.

Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows. He glanced at the Third Princess, a hint of shock in his eyes.

It had to be said that the Seventh Fist of Qingfeng Li’s Strangle Hell Fist had offensive power equivalent to that of a Supreme Realm First Level master. And this fist had collided with Profound Theory Cultivator’s own Void Fist.

The resulting energy was positively earth-shattering, enough to destroy a large mountain. Yet the Third Princess was unharmed; how strange.

Qingfeng Li could sense that the Third Princess had many secrets, whether she really was Mengyao Xu or not. There were many things about her that were difficult to believe.

What Qingfeng Li did not know was, as strange as he found Mengyao Xu, other people actually thought the same of him.

In the eyes of outsiders, Qingfeng Li was just a young man, just twenty or so, he shouldn’t be too strong. But the abilities he had exhibited, whether it was in combat or his attacks, or his techniques or physical prowess, they all exceeded others of the same level by far.

Profound Theory Cultivator looked at Qingfeng Li, shock in his eyes. He knew full well the power of his Void Fist. Once, he gravely wounded a Supreme Ream First Level master with it, and the victim had taken him a full year to recover.

Profound Theory Cultivator could clearly sense that Qingfeng Li was just at the Spirit Emperor Realm’s Eighth Level. He had not yet even reached the Supreme Realm. How was it that he was able to withstand his Void Fist?

The battle between Qingfeng Li and Profound Theory Cultivator was extremely heated. The vicious energy they exuded spread in all directions, alerting many masters in the Imperial City.

At this moment, the Imperial City held many powerful hidden organizations, such as the Martial Alliance, the House of Elixirs, the Array Formation Union, and the Spiritual Treasure Union.

These organizations’s influence were not limited to just the country of Lingyun; they had branches all across the Crimson Fire Continent.

Many had already noticed Qingfeng Li. This was due to his age; at only around twenty years old, he could hold his own against a master of the Supreme Realm First Level. Even the Emperor could not have done so in his youth. This was no doubt a rising superstar, well worth throwing an olive branch to.

Qingfeng Li looked at Profound Theory Cultivator standing in front of him. “You’ve thrown your fist,” he said nonchalantly, “and you haven’t defeated me. Now, you can leave.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the old man’s face flashed green and white alternately. He was respected by many in the Imperial City, but now, he was being mocked and spurned by Qingfeng Li.

“Young Prince,” Profound Theory Cultivator said, throwing a cold glance at Qingfeng Li. “Let us leave.”
