Chapter 810: Trump Cards
Jun Moxi and the others also carried treasures on them. If they were killed and their treasures seized, that would be quite beneficial, giving them an advantage in the subsequent struggle within the Jade Emperor Palace.
The East Sea Dragon Palace and the Jade Heaven Royal Clan each harbored their own schemes, but their ultimate goal was the same.
Dozens of gazes all fell upon Jun Moxi and the others at this moment, cold light flickering, causing Jun Moxi and his companions to narrow their eyes. They released their auras, staring at the crowd before them.
"Kill!" A series of terrifying auras burst forth. The four of them, Jun Moxi, drew closer together, each radiating a fearsome presence. Jun Moxi exuded a vast righteous qi, his long robe shimmering with brilliant light. The robe fluttered, his figure flickering unpredictably, swift as lightning. That golden robe was sharper than blades or swords, enough to make one's heart tremble.
"Roar!" Huangfu Long bellowed, his battle axe cleaving the sky as he slashed forward. A dragon shadow materialized, as if a draconic battle qi had formed, terrifying in its intensity.
"Stop right there." Yun Feiyang struck the ancient bell. The bell expanded rapidly, smashing violently forward as its chime rang out continuously.
As for Yu Tianji, his body radiated an indestructible starlight. In his hand, he held a crescent moon disk, where star and moon merged, dazzling and brilliant.
"Kill!" The killing intent was sharp. Yu Tianji released the brilliant crescent moon in his hand, sending it slicing forward. Instantly, the crowd ahead scattered, the formation of dozens of people thrown into chaos as they dispersed. The four of them all possessed formidable treasures; one careless mistake could lead to death. They had to be extremely cautious.
"Huangfu Feng, your Jade Heaven Royal Clan came to seize our ancestor's possessions. I know you brought heavy treasures with you. Don't hide them anymore—bring them out. These four have heavy treasures, and killing them will come at a cost." Both sides, harboring ulterior motives, held back. Who would be willing to make a wedding dress for the other? Ao Jiao's gaze fell on Huangfu Feng, a faint smile on his lips. He wanted to see what trump card Huangfu Feng was hiding.
"Don't just talk about my Jade Heaven Royal Clan. Your East Sea Dragon Palace has been watching us for so long; you must have prepared well too." Huangfu Feng sneered. The East Sea Dragon Palace was too treacherous, seemingly having discovered something long ago, keeping a constant eye on their Jade Heaven Royal Clan.
"In that case, how about we do it together?" Ao Jiao said with a faint smile.
"Fine." Huangfu Feng nodded. The two exchanged glances, and then light flickered. In Ao Jiao's hand, a dragon pearl appeared, its golden radiance shimmering, exuding a heart-palpitating aura.
In Huangfu Feng's hand, a crown appeared. This crown gleamed with golden light, radiating a powerful imperial aura.
"Legend has it that the supreme treasure of the Jade Heaven Royal Clan, the Jade Emperor Crown, is a crown. The crown in your hand should be a fake Jade Emperor Crown, right?" Ao Jiao looked at the dazzling crown in Huangfu Feng's hand. The real Jade Emperor Crown would not possibly be in Huangfu Feng's possession.
"It's enough." Huangfu Feng placed the crown on his head. Instantly, his body seemed bathed in a layer of formidable imperial qi. Draped in a golden imperial robe, he shone with resplendent brilliance.
"Your East Sea Dragon Palace's Sea-Calming Pearl should be able to immobilize their bodies for a moment, shouldn't it?" Huangfu Feng recognized the Sea-Calming Pearl in Ao Jiao's hand, his expression turning unpleasant. The East Sea Dragon Palace had impressive methods, even entrusting the Sea-Calming Pearl to Ao Jiao.
"Mutual." Ao Jiao smiled faintly. "I'll immobilize them for an instant. You coordinate and kill them. Kill as many as you can."
"Alright." Huangfu Feng nodded. Then, Ao Jiao released the Sea-Calming Pearl into the air. An invisible force rippled out, as if the entire space was about to freeze. Jun Moxi and the others felt their bodies stiffen slightly. That invisible force seemed to render them immobile. Huangfu Long was especially targeted; Ao Jiao seemed to deliberately focus on him, unleashing the strongest force upon him. Ao Jiao was still greedy for his dragon battle axe.
"Kill." Huangfu Feng roared furiously. His body was enveloped in a terrifying imperial dao qi that surged and rolled, shrouding him completely. The crown on his head released its light, suddenly transforming into a fearsome sword, indestructible and unstoppable, aimed at Huangfu Long. The first target: kill Huangfu Long.
"Watch out!" Jun Moxi shouted in alarm. Huangfu Long's expression changed drastically. Fast—Huangfu Feng's movement was too fast now, and that sword transformed from the crown was extremely terrifying, while his own body remained frozen in place.
"Die!" Huangfu Feng roared. The imperial sword was indestructible, slaughtering all, unstoppable. The two leaders joined forces, aiming to kill Huangfu Long in one strike.
"How dare you!" A shocking voice descended from the heavens, like a thunderbolt, seemingly imbued with a terrifying demonic aura, shaking the crowd. Then, a sky-defying, terrifying sword qi descended. This was true sword qi, as if it could pierce the heavens themselves, lawless and unruly, daring to slay anyone who stood in its way.
Huangfu Feng's heart trembled, his steps faltering slightly. From behind Huangfu Long, he sensed a terrifying, skyless sword dao. If he killed Huangfu Long with this strike, the sword behind would surely slay him.
"Die!" Huangfu Feng roared in fury. From his sword, a terrifying imperial qi surged out, slamming violently into Huangfu Long. Huangfu Long felt as if he had been struck heavily, letting out a muffled groan.
"Great Pest, get out of the way!" A voice came from behind. Huangfu Long forcibly twisted his body to dodge. Then, a terrifying sword qi brushed past him, indestructible, annihilating all.
At that moment, everyone saw a brilliant sword light rise from the sky, so dazzling that the crowd could not look directly at it.
Huangfu Feng's gaze froze. That terrifying sword qi was too powerful, as if it would pierce through his body. His figure flickered and retreated instantly.
The sword began to bloom. A terrifying, skyless will erupted, lawless and unruly.
Huangfu Feng's expression stiffened. The crown on his head suddenly transformed, turning into a golden imperial shield. The crown could actually change form.
"Boom!"
An endless torrent of power slammed into that imperial shield. Huangfu Feng's body, along with the shield, was sent flying, blood spilling from his mouth as he coughed.
"Crack!" A sound rang out. A fissure appeared on the imperial shield. Huangfu Feng's body then crashed heavily into the gate of the Jade Emperor Palace, the broken gate bursting open from the impact.
"It shattered!" The eyes of the Jade Heaven Royal Clan members all trembled. The imperial shield formed from the Jade Emperor Crown had been cracked by a single sword strike. Even if it was only a fake Jade Emperor Crown, one could still imagine how terrifying that sword strike must have been.
Ao Jiao's eyes also flickered with shock as he stared at Lin Feng. This guy's strength had grown even more terrifying.
"Cough, cough!" Huangfu Feng coughed a few times as he climbed up from the ground. He shot Lin Feng a cold glare, then his figure flashed, directly stepping into the great hall.
"Hmm?" Ao Jiao's eyes trembled, and he shouted coldly, "Trying to seize the treasure!"
With that, the entire crowd surged toward the Jade Emperor Palace, not a single person lagging behind. At this moment, they even forgot their conflict. Their only goal was the Jade Emperor Palace.
"Jade Emperor Palace." Lin Feng looked up at those golden characters, majestic and vast—an imperial palace.
Crossing to the other side, Lin Feng found many palaces here, magnificent and grand. However, many of the palace doors were tightly shut, and they had no way to open them. It wasn't until he arrived here that he happened to see Huangfu Feng attacking Great Pest.
"The door of the Jade Emperor Palace is cracked." Lin Feng looked at the broken, golden gate. How powerful would one have to be to shatter a palace gate? In Lin Feng's mind, the figure of the Demon Emperor seemed to appear once more.
At this moment, Tang Youyou and the Heavenly Lake crowd also arrived. Lin Feng turned back to look at Great Pest, only to see him get up on his own, spitting out a mouthful of blood and cursing, "Good thing this old man has thick skin. Lin Feng, hurry up and go in. The Jade Emperor Palace—we've finally made it here."
"Your skin really is thick enough." Lin Feng punched Huangfu Long, then stepped forward, flashing into the palace. The others followed closely behind.
Inside the vast hall, dragons and phoenixes were carved everywhere. Giant stone pillars supported the hall, each carved with terrifying ancient beasts. However, many of these pillars had been broken or smashed.
"Boom! Boom!" Terrifying sounds of impact rang out continuously. The people of the East Sea Dragon Palace were frantically attacking a hall within the hall, but the door remained tightly shut. No matter how powerful their force, they could not break it open.
"He knew all along?" Ao Jiao roared at the Jade Heaven Royal Clan members, as if a flood dragon was bellowing.
The faces of the Jade Heaven Royal Clan members were ugly. Huangfu Feng certainly knew how to seize the moment, even abandoning all of them. This made their expressions especially grim.
"He has a map of the entire hall. Once he reached the Jade Emperor Palace, of course he knew how to get in." The Jade Heaven Royal Clan members hadn't expected to be sold out by Huangfu Feng either. Only Huangfu Feng controlled the map of the Jade Emperor Palace; he had probably planned this long ago.
