Chapter 2016: Mayfly Shaking a Tree

Translator: Legge 

Boom!

A loud bang seemed to have sounded from Feng Ziyi’s body.

The barrier shattered!

Feng Ziyi took a deep breath of air and an endless stream of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surged into her body, washing through her flesh, tendons, bones and organs as her strength increased rapidly.

Lightning coiled around her body and her aura rose continuously.

“Wow!”

Prince Yuan Zuo pretended to be surprised and clapped with a smile, praising, “You’ve broken through. Not bad.”

He allowed Feng Ziyi to break through right in front of him as though he had no intention of attacking.

On the contrary, he had a smile the entire time and looked at Feng Ziyi with a mocking expression.

It was not because he was careless and underestimated his opponent.

It was because even though Feng Ziyi had broken through to the Earth Essence realm, she could not do anything to him!

If it was any other time, Prince Yuan Zuo would not have entangled himself with Feng Ziyi and would have killed her long ago.

Today, Prince Yuan Zuo was overjoyed when he knew that Su Zimo had obtained the jade talisman and was about to return. It was a rare moment of interest and he wanted to play with Feng Ziyi.

Time slowly passed.

Breaking through such a major cultivation realm usually required a process of adaptation.

When Feng Ziyi saw that Prince Yuan Zuo did not attack, she did not act rashly. Instead, she continued to absorb Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and baptized her body and Essence Spirit to stabilize her cultivation realm.

Suddenly!

In a flash, Feng Ziyi charged towards Prince Yuan Zuo at an astonishing speed and there was only a faint shadow in midair.

“Hahahaha!”

When Prince Yuan Zuo saw Feng Ziyi attack, he stood up as well and raised his head in laughter.

He was unmoved against Feng Ziyi’s figure and did not even look at her. He merely channeled his spirit consciousness and iron walls suddenly descended around the hall!

Feng Ziyi’s figure collided with Prince Yuan Zuo and dissipated without causing any ripples.

That figure was merely an illusion and had long been seen through by Prince Yuan Zuo!

Feng Ziyi’s true form had long hidden itself and fled towards the exit of the hall.

As an assassin, she naturally had her own judgment of the situation.

She knew very well that even though she had already broken through to the Earth Essence realm, she was definitely not a match for Prince Yuan Zuo in a head-on fight.

The reason why she broke through to the Earth Essence realm was because she wanted to increase her chances of escaping.

“I haven’t had my fill of fun yet. Why do you want to leave?”

Prince Yuan Zuo’s mocking voice sounded. Immediately after, the iron walls fell and smashed onto the ground with a deafening bang!

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing could be heard.

Feng Ziyi summoned her dark daggers and stabbed them heavily against the iron walls. However, a series of sparks flew and only left a faint white scar on them.

With that collision, Feng Ziyi’s concealment technique was dispelled as well and her figure appeared.

Even though she had already advanced to the Earth Essence realm, she could not break through the defense of the hall!

Furthermore, all her thoughts and actions seemed to be under Prince Yuan Zuo’s control!

Prince Yuan Zuo walked down slowly from his seat towards Feng Ziyi with a smile. “Look, I specially asked the maidservants around me to leave so that I can create a rare opportunity for you to assassinate me.”

“If you want to leave without even attacking me, aren’t you letting down my goodwill?”

Prince Yuan Zuo’s smile was chilling and filled with incomparable confidence.

Feng Ziyi glared at Prince Yuan Zuo in silence.

Prince Yuan Zuo gradually retracted his smile and said slowly, “So what if you break through to the Earth Essence realm? So what if you’re good at assassination?”

“Today, I’ll teach you a principle.”

“In the face of absolute strength, no fancy tricks can withstand a single blow!”

The moment he said that, Prince Yuan Zuo released the might of his spirit consciousness and suppressed Feng Ziyi like a tsunami!

Feng Ziyi’s expression changed and her body swayed, almost knocked down by Prince Yuan Zuo’s spirit consciousness pressure.

The difference was too great!

If her spirit consciousness was a pond…

Prince Yuan Zuo’s spirit consciousness was like a lake!

The distance between the two of them closed continuously.

In the blink of an eye, Prince Yuan Zuo had already arrived before Feng Ziyi. In fact, he was less than an arm’s length away and was extremely close!

Feng Ziyi was expressionless. However, she suddenly opened her mouth and let out an ear-piercing cry that sounded like an immortal whale!

The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi around her rippled like water because of that voice.

Sound domain secret skill, Immortal Whale Sound!

At the same time, Feng Ziyi released her blood qi with all her might and lightning surged in her body. Her aura rose to its limits and she broke free from the pressure of Prince Yuan Zuo’s spirit consciousness.

She raised her hands and her sleeves fluttered. Two pitch-black beams of light flashed almost imperceptibly.

The dark daggers were already in her hands. One stabbed towards Prince Yuan Zuo’s chest while the other stabbed towards his face!

“May!”

Prince Yuan Zuo did not dodge or avoid. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spat out a word.

Feng Ziyi shuddered and felt her ears buzz. The voice in her mind reverberated endlessly!

“Fly!”

Feng Ziyi bit the tip of her tongue gently and the dark daggers in her hands continued to stab towards Prince Yuan Zuo’s vitals.

Prince Yuan Zuo spoke again and spat out a second word.

With a bang, Feng Ziyi’s mind went blank and she froze on the spot, as though she was struck by lightning.

The dark daggers were less than an inch away from Prince Yuan Zuo’s chest and face.

As long as she prodded gently, given the sharpness of the dark daggers, they would definitely be able to pierce Prince Yuan Zuo’s vitals.

However, she was shocked and turned feeble from Prince Yuan Zuo’s words—her blood qi had already dissipated!

“Shaking!”

Prince Yuan Zuo spoke once more.

A series of crackling sounds came from Feng Ziyi’s body.

Her bones were shattered by Prince Yuan Zuo and she was in extreme pain. Her face was pale and her blood qi reversed, causing her to almost collapse to the ground!

“A tree!”

Prince Yuan Zuo opened his mouth and said the final words.

As though she was struck by an unimaginable force, Feng Ziyi’s body was sent flying and smashed against the cold wall of the hall with a bang.

After a brief pause, it slid down slowly.

Feng Ziyi felt as though her tendons and bones were about to split and her organs shifted. Opening her mouth, she spat out a mouthful of blood with a dispirited expression.

Mayfly shaking a tree!

Although it sounded slow, Prince Yuan Zuo said those words in the blink of an eye.

Right from the beginning, he did not even move a single finger. He merely spat out words and severely injured Feng Ziyi with the terrifying power of his sound domain skill!

Prince Yuan Zuo came before Feng Ziyi and looked down at her, saying indifferently, “Even if you break through, you’ll only be at the Level 1 Earth Essence realm. I’ve already cultivated to the Level 7 Earth Essence realm.”

“That’s a difference of six cultivation realms. What do you have to fight me with?!”
