“That trash? He ran away,” the Crown Princess said as she raised her eyelids and gripped her hands casually. “The Three Mountains Four Peaks, was it? Don’t worry. I’ll be going after you one by one.”

“Run!”

Regardless of whether it was the performance the Crown Princess had shown when she killed their companion or that she had appeared here while Xiao Shen was nowhere to be found... These highlighted a problem—her strength far surpassed their estimation.

Moreover, even though these two old men were top-notch experts in the Three Mountains Four Peaks and were both Tiangang Realm experts, they did not have any confidence at all.

Almost at the instant of the Crown Princess’ arrival, they had already come up with this assessment.

Therefore, with an explosive bellow, the thin old man burst out in Gang Qis, sending them gushing out toward the Crown Princess in an overwhelming state.

The other bald old man grabbed Prince Xin and shot out at the speed of lightning... He ran away.

There was no need for communication or any signals. At the moment they took action, both of them had already divided the work so that one of them would hold back the Crown Princess while the other would escape.

This was the rapport and experience that they had nurtured over several decades, having been through countless death battles together.

As the thin old man slapped out his palm, Gang Qis were sent gushing out in an overwhelming state toward the Crown Princess. There seemed to be the faint sound of sea waves ringing out in the world.

This move—Toppling Mountains and Overturning Seas—had been created after observing the sun, moon, tides, seas, and tsunamis. It used Gang Qis to simulate the seas, and as a palm struck out, layers of Gang Qis would stack up and powers would erupt consecutively. It had the prowess to overturn rivers and seas.

The thin old man had once crushed an entire town into dust with a single palm attack. The majestic prowess released from his palm force was a rare sight in this world.

Furthermore, as more and more Gang Qis stacked up, the attack’s prowess would continue to surge endlessly.

It had been 20 years since the thin old man last performed this move. There were no limits to its prowess.

Faced with the sea of Gang Qis which could crush a city and take down an army of several ten thousand men, the Crown Princess struck out a punch head-on.

Rumble . An explosive sound rang out, and white air currents gushed out from the Crown Princess’ fist. Violent physical power smashed into the sea of Gang Qis without any reservations.

Then, under the thin old man’s astonished gaze, the Toppling Mountains and Overturning Seas’ Qi field was like a big truck driving at full speed and then crashing into an aircraft carrier, abruptly coming to a stop.

The pause was only sustained for an instant. At the next moment, the sea of Gang Qis suddenly flowed backward. It was as if an actual sea had flowed in a reversed track by this punch, lashing back toward the thin old man.

Prince Xin, who had been brought away to flee rapidly, watched as the thin old man was drowned by the endless Qi currents, his body disappearing completely.

Then, under his horrified gaze, that beautiful figure appeared like a bolt of lightning. She took a step forward, and the ground under her feet shattered with countless rock pieces charging out from the surface of the earth.

The Crown Princess arrived before Prince Xin and sent a punch smashing into the bald old man’s chest.

Even his agonizing cry was stuffed back into his mouth by the pressure from the fist. At the next moment, the bald old man exploded into blood foam that dispersed into the air.

For Prince Xin, it was as if he had been tossed out at rapid speed. Splattered with blood all over, he rolled onto the ground, smashed through a couple of buildings, and fell into a stretch of ruins.

Before the blood that splattered toward the Crown Princess could get close to her, it was already blown away by a strong wind.

The Crown Princess rubbed her wrist. After killing three Three Mountains Four Peaks experts consecutively, she felt a lot more exhilarated.

Although she could use the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint to slap them to death, it felt better to be killing them through her punches and kicks directly.

Rumbling sounds rang out as Prince Xin pushed away the ruins’ fragments that were on him. He then saw the Crown Princess walking up to him.

The cries of countless soldiers and horses, as well as the sounds of them running over, came from the distant. The 250,000-man army awakened in shock, and many of them were rushing over.

However, even though they had greater numbers and the army of over 200,000 men was not far away from him, Prince Xin could not feel any sense of security at all.

It was all because of this young lady standing before him. She was like a supernatural being.

At the thought of how she had killed three Tiangang Realm experts within a few breaths’ time, Prince Xin felt an immense sense of horror.

The feeling that his life was not under his control caused his countenance to turn extremely grim.

“I...”

A pffft sound rang out. The Crown Princess ignored Prince Xin’s reaction. She was not interested to see him begging for mercy, to resist, or to curse either. Instead, she just tapped out a finger and caused his head to explode.

She then looked toward the 250,000-man army in the city that had started to seethe.

The corners of the Crown Princess’ lips curled up into a savage smile. At the next moment, she was like a missile, heading for the center of the crowd.

Boom!

News of the final battle in Qing City had spread through the world like a tornado.

After this battle, the Crown Princess’ reputation became like the soaring sun. Everyone knew that the imperial court had this unrivaled female general on their side.

With the Jing Region and Serene Region taken over and with there being no leader in the Beiyuan Region, the imperial court seemed like it was about to take over three regions. It appeared that the Great Jin Dynasty would soon step up to reach a new peak. Furthermore, with the Crown Princess’ existence, the Great Jin Dynasty had now taken a tremendous leap to become the strongest influence in the world.

No one had expected that the Great Jin Dynasty—which had been extremely weak previously—would now show signs of becoming prosperous once again.

Unknowingly, all the influences in the world stopped their actions.

Although the three regions in the south were respectively controlled by Prince Ding, Prince An, and Prince Yi respectively, they had stopped their raring activities. They kept sending envoys toward each other, showing faint signs of joining forces.

The many feudal vassals in the six central regions who were previously fighting each other had ceased all of their activities unconsciously. All of them turned their gazes in the direction of the Divine Capital.

Rebellion troops rose in numbers in the Min Region, which was situated along the shores. During the period of time when the imperial court was subduing the Serene Region, the Min Region was completely unified by the world’s greatest traitor—Liang Bo. He claimed to have a 500,000-man army under his command, and they called themselves the Red Turbans. They faced the myriad of feudal vassals in Middle-earth.

Although Liang Bo claimed to have a 500,000-man army, his subordinates were a lot weaker than the elites under Prince Xin who had been engaged in war on the plains throughout the year. Liang Bo’s subordinates were of varying standards, and there were even many soldiers who had yet to even reach the Xiantian Realm. They merely entered the battlefield with a blade.

However, be it the three Princes in the south, the many feudal vassals in the central, or the rebellion leader in Min Region, none of them dare to make a move recklessly. They merely lay low to accumulate strength.

When some people saw that the Great Jin Dynasty was rising once again, they waited for the call for enlistment, wanting to join to serve the imperial court.

However, there were also people who knew that they had committed capital offenses and thus wanted to form groups to attack and completely crush the imperial court which was under the Fang Clan’s rule.

Nevertheless, regardless who they were, no one was interested in being the one who made the first move since the righteous cause was still on the imperial court’s side. The imperial court was still very strong, and many people were lying low quietly, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.

...

In the Imperial Capital, Fang Xingjian rubbed his forehead, looked at the Crown Princess, and asked, “Has it ended?”

“The Serene Region has been subdued completely. Next, I plan on attacking the Beiyuan Region and taking back Prince Xin’s old base.” The Crown Princess leaned back into a wooden armchair and lifted her legs that were wrapped in tight training pants high up, propping them on the tea table at the side.

After she shared her following plans, she looked at Fang Xingjian and said, “Alright, it’s the agreed time again. Let’s exchange our martial arts.”

Fang Xingjian nodded and shot out a stream of sword intent. It suddenly appeared at the Crown Princess’ forehead, coming and leaving without any trace. Despite the Crown Princess’ realm, she was still unable to detect how it had come to her.

“Instant Sword?” The Crown Princess absorbed the information contained within this sword intent, and a hint of astonishment gleamed in her eyes. “To think that there’s such a sword technique in the world...? This sword technique’s grasp over time and space has reached the limits of tier six of the Divine level.”

“Coming and leaving without a trace...” The Crown Princess threw a glance toward Fang Xingjian and a rare hint of admiration revealed on her face. “Your sword arts are really amazing.”

A hint of pride appeared in the Crown Princess’ eyes. She hesitated a little and said eventually, “But I won’t take advantage of you either.”

The Crown Princess spewed out a stream of golden light and sent it into Fang Xingjian’s consciousness. It contained countless golden scriptures that were densely-packed together. There were several million words.

Fang Xingjian instantly scanned through it and understood what it was.

“Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique? This is the Royal Heavenly Great Art’s main structure?”

His eyes narrowed slightly. He had not expected that she would give him such a good thing.

If it could be said that the Royal Heavenly Great Palm Imprint was a technique in the Royal Heavenly Great Art that strengthened one’s foundation and defended one against enemies, then this Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique was a core theory in the Royal Heavenly Great Art. It was one of the most essential parts.

“That’s right,” the Crown Princess said proudly. “This Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique is a supreme technique in our Ascendant Heavenly Sect. It is the Royal Heavenly Great Art’s foundation. It’s in return for your Instant Sword. You’re definitely not on the losing end.”

It was true that he was not on the losing end. At this moment, Fang Xingjian understood that he had not made the wrong decision.

During this period of time that they had spent together, Fang Xingjian started to understand some of the Crown Princess’ character. She was as proud as he thought she would be. This was why he had given her the Instant Sword directly.

The Crown Princess had also reacted the way he had predicted her to. She was unwilling to take advantage of him and shared the Son of Heaven’s Qi Nurturing Technique, which was a technique of great essence.
