The Daoist Rhymes which overflowed from the sharp golden sword headed towards Lan Yu menacingly!

That single blow was filled with the poise of a fully complete Nascent Soul cultivator!

When Lan Yu was first summoned, she was only at an early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation. Now she was at the last stage, and along with the benefits of her Supreme Daoist Physique, even a Paradise Realm cultivator could not make a dent in her. She shattered that sword qi with a single punch!

Fangtian had a look of shock in his eyes, which later turned into an intent to fight. He spoke in a cold tone, “Alright, it looks like I've underestimated you. Then I shall start by defeating you, then I'll beat down your master!”

“Not a chance.” Lan Yu immediately summoned her scepter of light. The sacred weapon's aura greatly increased her momentum.

She let out a single punch, which erupted as a mighty stream of light. That blast managed to push back even a skilled Sky-pride like Fangtian by several feet.

The onlooking cultivators could not help but marvel at the sight of that.

“This woman has such tremendous power that she is able to push back Fangtian?”

“Fangtian is a Paradise Realm cultivator you know. It was estimated that even the Royal Azure Dynasty's Crown Prince Gu Changge would have trouble pus.h.i.+ng him back, but this woman can do it. Who the h.e.l.l is she?”

“When did the Winged Human Tribe ever have such a powerful Sky-pride, much less one that would be willing to become Chu Kuangren's follower? This is simply incredible indeed.”

As the crowd was shocked at Lan Yu's strength, they were even more curious about Chu Kuangren's now because of this.

If a follower had such terrifying levels of power, then what about Chu Kuangren himself?

“Five Ways, Defying Flame technique!” Fangtian made a mysterious sign with his hand, which made the Daoist Rhymes swirl and gather around him, followed by crimson flames that surged out.

Lan Yu did not bother to dodge it and sent out a punch instead. The poise of light smashed through the flames which rose into the sky, her dignified battle maiden look shook the crowd.

“Five Ways, Second Wood technique!”

Fangtian's look became sterner and sterner. The Daoist Rhymes around his body c.u.mulated and gathered while spiritual power in his body swirled, reaching maximum exertion.

Around Lan Yu's body, countless vines formed by spiritual energy suddenly appeared and bound her in an instant.

“Five Ways, Seventh Gold technique!” Fangtian took the opportunity to once again dish out another attack of the Five Ways technique, this time unleas.h.i.+ng multiple sharp swords towards her.

“Hmmph.” Lan Yu sighed gently. The spiritual energy within her erupted and with the flaps from her snowy white wings, numerous streams of spiritual qi in the form of swords swirled around and subsequently cut off all the vines that were entangling her one by one. She then let out another punch attack.

That punch of light ruptured all the incoming rays of sword qi before her.

“How dare you seek to challenge my master when you only have such power. Stop living a fool's dream!” Lan Yu let out a chilling laugh.

Lan Yu's words enraged Fangtian greatly. “How dare you, a maid, speak with such arrogance. Witness the might of the Five Ways Sect!”

At that time, swirls of Daoist Rhymes could be seen surrounding Fangtian's body, an extremely terrifying aura was released and his body could be seen glimmering with five s.h.i.+ning colors of light.

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.

The five-colored lights flickered within Fangtian's palm, forming into a boundless and horrifying power. It was so strong that it shook the surrounding s.p.a.ce.

“Sage technique, Five Ways Grip of Capture!” Fangtian held out his arm in a clawing grip, the five-colored lights combined and formed into a large hand of colors.

That attack was a sage technique, a fearsome one as well.

Even cultivators of the same Paradise realm would easily get defeated by this technique.

Lan Yu had a serious look in her eyes. Following that, a surge of white light burst into the skies from her body. Her wings spread out, and large amounts of Daoist Rhymes gathered and swirled. There were lines upon lines of great Daoist runes and flas.h.i.+ng back and forth around her body, making her seem almost inhuman.

The crowd looked with shock and awe at that sight of her.

They felt the feeling and inclination of wors.h.i.+pping Lan yu!

Some of the stronger Daoists squinted and were in disbelief.

“This is a Daoist Physique transformation… the Endless s.h.i.+ning Light”

“The rumored Supreme Daoist Physique, the Holy Radiant Physique!”

“She's a Supreme Daoist Physique wielder!”

Those who recognized the Holy Radiant Physique were in trembling shock. That kind of physique had not appeared for many years.

Similar to Chu Kuangren's Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart, it was a type of Supreme Daoist Physique as well. She had the potential to reach the Emperor realm with that terrifying power.

With the Endless s.h.i.+ning Light transformation appearing, Lan Yu received the increase in strength that it offered. She then waved her scepter of light and formed a long spear with swirling runes on top of it. Horrifying amounts of Light-based Daoist Rhymes gathered within that spear.

Bang!

The long spear burst out as it shot through the air, a crackling boom resounded within the surrounding void!

That single attack was a peerlessly powerful one.

Impacting the five-colored palm, the shockwaves generated by the clash of those two powerful energies violently rumbled the surrounding void. The surrounding buildings and structures started to shake as well from the tremor.

Lan Yu stood still with swirls of light surrounding her, looking ever so majestic and divine.

Opposite her, things did not look good for Fangtian. His looks said it all and were very grim. He could not believe his strongest strike could not defeat Lan Yu.

If he could not even defeat a servant girl, how would he possibly hope to take down Chu Kuangren?

When he thought of this, he let out a sigh.

“Who permitted you all to fight under the very feet of the emperor?”

At that moment, a majestic and dignified female voice came from the sky.

A carriage pulled by six divine horses could be seen leaping through the air, bringing along a horrifying domineering aura as it landed.

The surrounding cultivators immediately kneeled. “Respect to her highness Royal Princess Linglong!”

Only cultivators from sage orthodoxies like Chu Kuangren and Fangtian stood still. Their status could be said to be equal to that of Princess Linglong.

“Princess Linglong has appeared.”

“I can't believe we can get to see her this soon.”

“Let's see if she truly is as beautiful as the rumors say.”

The other Sky-prides “spoke” through eye contact with each other.

Fangtian and Lan Yu also stopped fighting.

“All of you here are talented contemporaries of this generation, having a fight in public like this, do you think such conduct is appropriate in any way?” Princess Linglong asked again.

“Your highness is correct.”

Lin Batian, Huayun the others replied.

The area here was under the domain of the Royal Azure Dynasty, while the person in front of them was the princess whom they would compete with each other in a fight for. Hence, they should not cause any disgrace for her.

“Very well, I'll let this slide on the account that everyone here is a newcomer in this domain, and didn't understand the rules of the emperor's capital. I'll be hosting a banquet tonight at the Thousand Island Lake. With regards to that, I'm inviting all the Sky-prides to attend. Everyone is welcome to show their face at the banquet.” Princess Linglong said.

“The princess's invitation shall be honored by its guests.”

A few of the Sky-prides chuckled.

“Elder Senior Brother of the Black Heaven Sect, I shall be waiting for you at the Thousand Island Lake.”

At that point, Princess Linglong suddenly uttered.

Chu Kuangren stumbled.

‘Why did you have to call me out directly, are we close friends or something?'

When those words came out, everyone had their sights on Chu Kuangren. They were filled with indescribable envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Especially so for Fangtian, he looked like he wanted to chew up Chu Kuangren on the spot.

Of all the Sky-prides in the land, Princess Linglong did not mention anyone, and only specifically called out Chu Kuangren. What did that mean?

That meant that Princess Linglong already had a bias in her heart!

In that race to become the groom, Chu Kuangren had unknowingly taken the lead.

Some people were getting confused.

‘Your highness, you should not deal such a strong blow to the people's hearts.'

‘You were messing with our mental states right now.'

“Your highness, that guy is Chu Kuangren. He was the one who heavily injured the Royal Azure Dynasty's Crown Prince.” Someone beside her reminded.

“Yes, I know.” Princess Linglong calmly replied.

“Umm, didn't you say last time that you would not be merciful to him when the two of you meet?” Another one recalled what she said previously with the other great Sky-prides.

One of them was Princess Linglong.

“I remember well. It's just that I didn't expect at that time that this Elder Senior Brother of the Black Heaven Sect would be so… Handsome.”

Princess Linglong paused, seemingly shy because of what she said.

Everyone's mental state collapsed.

They did not expect that Princess Linglong was a person like that.

‘F*ck this, so what if he has good looks, is that such a big deal?'

The people in the crowd stared daggers at Chu Kuangren, some were enraged to the point that they started gritting their teeth.

The martial arts contest had not started yet, but most of the people in the crowd already felt like they had already lost.

That made Chu Kuangren even more confused. ‘Your highness, we don't even know each other that well. Could you stop messing with me?'
