Chapter 408: 374 condition 6

Swish!!!

In an instant, the gigantic Black Phoenix vanished from the sky.

Just then, in the vicinity of Li Chengyi, space twisted into a vortex.

The Black Phoenix flashed into existence out of thin air.

And at almost the same time, Li Chengyi, shrouded in ash-gold, also turned into a streak of black light and disappeared on the spot.

When he emerged again, he had already stepped into the range within twenty meters of Zhao Chengxi.

The Yinglong Sword was drawn out in a flash.

Blinding golden light wrapped around terrifying ash-grey, extreme cold Flames of Death Energy, with the combination of Dragon Slay and the Destiny Hit Blade’s thrust, he swung forward.

’Destiny...!!’

The Sunrise Sword, enveloped by death energy covering everything, transformed from scorching heat to extreme cold.

Ash-grey Flames of Death Energy coiled and extended along the blade, casting a gray phantom with each swing.

"Sunrise!!!"

At the same time, the Black Phoenix flashed beside him, completely enveloping Li Chengyi with its body.

Hiss...

A strange and terrifying scene unfolded.

The Black Phoenix’s flames, millions of degrees in temperature, now twisted and pulled under some incomprehensible power, rapidly converging upon the Yinglong Sword in Li Chengyi’s hand.

The Yinglong Sword emitted crackling sounds of strain, as if it was about to shatter.

Crack after crack spread clearly from the blade, blooming like a gradually-opening black lotus.

Within the twisted and heavy Grade Nine forcefield, Black Flame Abyss.

Zhao Chengxi’s eyes widened, staring fixedly at Li Chengyi who was rapidly approaching.

The extreme cold of the death energy was neutralized by high temperatures; Li Chengyi faced the fate of being vaporized once the death energy was depleted.

And he, Zhao Chengxi, despite the fact that his forcefield barrier was far stronger than that of Grade Eight, still felt a strange, unbelievable, deadly threat.

’He is...using the power of the Black Phoenix to attack me!??’

In that instant, he understood what Li Chengyi was doing!

How could such a thing be possible?!

The Black Phoenix’s energy level was far more than before.

And furthermore.

Too close...!

In a moment, he realized his fatal mistake.

That was being too close to Destiny...

If he had kept his distance, launching the Black Phoenix from tens of kilometers away, the opponent would have had no doubt died!

But now...

He saw Li Chengyi, whose Floral Dress was beginning to melt, and the cold murderous intent in his eyes.

There was no time to dodge, no time to block.

Everything seemed slow, but there wasn’t even a hundredth of a second to spare.

The Feiyi Master’s mental manipulation, and Li Chengyi’s Shadow Flash slash, occurred simultaneously in an instant.

By the time everyone realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

The ash-grey light of the Sunrise Sword finally crashed down upon the Grade Nine forcefield, Black Flame Abyss.

The terrifying high temperature of the Black Phoenix, combined with Li Chengyi’s full-force eruption of nearly four thousand tons.

All were focused on the very tip of the Yinglong Sword.

Crack.

The transparent walls of the Black Flame Abyss exploded, riddled with a dense web of spider-like fractures on the spot.

Like a layer of ice ready to shatter, the nine layers of the Black Flame Abyss saw the first five layers burst instantly.

Pop pop pop pop pop!!!

Immediately after, the grey light of the Sunrise Sword cut straight through, landing on the last four layers.

Boom!!!

Zhao Chengxi’s feet hit the ground, and within a hundred meters around him, the floor collapsed, and the rubble and soil rippled like waves, blasting outwards in concentric circles.

This sword, in the end, still hung before the final layer of Zhao Chengxi’s Black Flame Abyss forcefield, unable to break through completely.

"Void Flash!"

"Destiny!!"

The two almost simultaneously launched their killer moves, attacking each other.

The Black Phoenix flickered, the Destiny Hit Blade reappeared.

The last remaining layer of forcefield was no longer able to prevent the final life-and-death battle.

Just as the two powers were about to collide again.

A loud boom echoed.

In the center of the Black Flame Abyss, a ball of white light appeared abruptly and exploded suddenly.

White light scattered, quickly replacing the Black Flame Abyss, becoming a huge forcefield barrier covering a kilometer radius.

At the same time, multiple white-gold walls, inlaid with lion patterns, rose one after another.

Dozens of meters high, the white-gold walls instantly turned the ground of this area into flat, white-gold stone tiles.

In the blink of an eye, the battlefield that resembled ruins was transformed into a massive white-gold lion-patterned palace.

In the center of the palace, a group of golden mountain peaks loomed, phantasmal and intermittent.

Behind the mountains, a pale moon-white circle lit up, emitting an invisible forcefield of isolation.

Everything under this forcefield’s illumination froze still.

Whether it was Zhao Chengxi or Li Chengyi, the power on their bodies rapidly dissipated, returning to calm.

An extremely terrifying forcefield quickly neutralized and suppressed the energy fluctuations of both men.

Even the death energy was forcibly suppressed back into Li Chengyi’s body.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

In an instant, within the force field, countless white threads emerged out of nowhere, weaving and dancing through the air, before swiftly transforming into floating ribbons marked with blue circuit patterns.

Myriads of ribbons separated and enshrouded both Li Chengyi and Zhao Chengxi.

Whoosh.

Simultaneously, the two appeared hundreds of meters apart in different locations.

After teleporting the two away, all the ribbons converged and collected in the center of the force field, coalescing into a slender and tall figure.

It was an austere old man in a white robe, with white hair and a white beard.

The old man’s eyes were snow-white, void of pupils, and his beard hung down to his chest and abdomen, while his long hair was also tightly bound up high. Wrapped around his robe were strands of gray, thick hemp rope-like substances. He exuded a cold and solemnly heavy aura.

From a distance, the hem of his robe seemed to sporadically appear and disappear, as if it could disassemble and reassemble at any moment, recreating the countless ribbons just now.

"Enough."

"Dongjun...!" Zhao Chengxi’s face underwent a drastic change, "My Zhao Family has consecutively lost two Grade Eight..."

"Black Phoenix, with the current chaotic situation, if the Zhao Family wishes to remain in Jiu Yi, then it should learn to consider the bigger picture," the old man said coldly, looking at him.

"The Empire does not easily produce a Grade Nine. Such top combat power, whether it’s you or Destiny, is absolutely not allowed to be lost to infighting!"

"This is unfair!!" grinded Zhao Chengxi through his teeth.

"Destiny has already shown their foundation. From the start of your move, you should have known that this was a contest that could never have a conclusion," Dongjun Mutong spoke indifferently.

"..." Zhao Chengxi was fully aware of this fact, but his Zhao Family had suffered great losses, and yet....

If it had been anyone else, he would not have feared, but with Lord Dongjun himself present...

The confinement of the Great Light Lion King Imperial Palace was not something the Black Phoenix could escape from.

It wasn’t just composed of the highest technology from Yi Country, but also included other incomprehensible forces that Lord Dongjun himself possessed.

"Li Chengyi of Mingyuan Destiny, greets Dongjun," at this point, Li Chengyi had switched out of the Floral Dress and into the Feilian that augmented the Shadow Dragon Bloodline, with black wings fluttering behind him as he slightly bowed in the air towards Dongjun.

In just an instant, the other’s power had suppressed both him and Zhao Chengxi. It was quite evident that this person’s power greatly surpassed the combined level of the two of them.

And the appearance of Dongjun also achieved his purpose of coming here.

He had persistently pressured forward, to exhibit his own strength, using the Zhao Family as a point of reference to acquire the position and authority he desired.

Even if Dongjun had not come, he and Black Phoenix Zhao Chengxi would not have possibly engaged in a full-fledged battle.

For this was Chaoyu.

Above was the Milky Way Harbor, and the Empire would not permit them to freely battle in such an important city.

"The Zhao Family this time has launched an attack on Mingyuan, mixing public and private grievances, inciting trouble; all losses are to be borne by yourselves. No objections, right?" Dongjun looked towards Zhao Chengxi.

"...Fine," Zhao Chengxi forced out a word with gritted teeth.

"Mingyuan suffered very little damage, and although they were the victims, they also killed two Grade Eight Conductors from the Zhao Family. Let’s consider the matter settled, any objections?" Dongjun then looked towards Li Chengyi.

"My lord, Wanshi Commerce Group brazenly challenged the Empire’s law, using their authority to eliminate dissent, such a precedent, if there is no compensation for victims like us, would indeed cool people’s hearts..." Li Chengyi raised an eyebrow as he spoke.

"What compensation do you want?" Dongjun frowned.

"Wanshi Commerce Group," Li Chengyi smiled.

"Move 10% of the Zhao Family’s shares in Wanshi Commerce Group to Mingyuan. Is that sufficient?" Dongjun asked.

The Wanshi Commerce Group wasn’t publicly listed, but in terms of value, it was at least a colossus worth tens of trillions.

A tenth of its shares... money was secondary, the significance and influence they represented were enough to cause the Zhao Family a severe blow.

"Thank you, my lord," Li Chengyi was thoroughly satisfied.

Originally, he was aware that even if he could defeat Zhao Chengxi, it was not possible to truly kill the other.

But as a Grade Nine, resources and authority as logistical support were the guarantees of strength, as long as the Zhao Family’s resources and financial power were weakened, their power was bound to plummet substantially.

"Now that you’re satisfied, you can go back," Dongjun Mutong looked at Li Chengyi.

Li Chengyi did not waste words, and turned to leave.

Before departing, he glanced at Zhao Lingguang hiding in a corner in the distance.

This last Grade Eight Conductor of the Zhao Family, who had just attempted to kill him alongside Zhao Lingzhi, was now pale-faced and terror-stricken.

He had been scared witless.

In such a mental state, he was effectively incapacitated for the time being.

Sss.

Suddenly, Li Chengyi grasped the Yinglong Sword, and with a flick towards him, drew it out.

Frightened, Zhao Lingguang shook violently, crouching down and screaming as he covered his head.

Li Chengyi burst into laughter, glanced at Zhao Chengxi, whose face was extremely ugly, and turned to leave.

Whoosh.

In a Shadow Flash, he quickly left the range of Dongjun’s force field and headed back in the direction of Fengnan Province.

Taking over shares of Wanshi Commerce Group was to use its channels to scavenge the materials he needed for the Imprint Orbs.

A single Giant Strength Imprint had allowed him to jump directly from Grade Eight to the Grade Nine level.

Unless he was kited from an extremely long distance, anyone who got close to him faced a lethal threat, including those of Grade Nine.

Having tested his strength, he now had a rough idea of his position.

In terms of war, he was far from being as powerful as a Grade Nine massacre over a wide area.

But in close-quarter assassination, he was no Grade Nine, yet better than a Grade Nine.

’Too slow to dodge targeting from conductors, only able to withstand forcefully, this is my weakness. Must find a way to compensate...’ Li Chengyi understood in his mind.

But the Shadow Dragon itself had this flaw, slow speed and high defense, the only thing that could compensate was Shadow Flash.

However, Shadow Flash had an inherent cooldown limitation.

So, increasing speed fundamentally was key.

In the sky on his way back, Li Chengyi recalled the Ye Lu he had encountered in the Black Sea.

And that immense and terrifying King of the Death Angels.

He had an inkling that the King of the Death Angels, whose home he had stolen from, wouldn’t let him off so easily.

’I must quickly find a way to deal with Flower Language, increase speed, enhance the manufacturing of Imprint Orbs, and the ability to search for materials.’

Since he had settled on the Black Sea’s Imprint System as his mainstay, then his Flower Language should also primarily focus on aiding that aspect.

With Flower Language as auxiliary, Flames of Death Energy as tool, and Imprints as core, this was the path he set for the future.

Only with such a strategy could he survive in the increasingly tight blind spots.
