1631 Contesting the Supreme Realm (1/2)

Profound Theory Cultivator knew that, while he could disrespect the Third Princess's authority, he could not do the same to the His Imperial Majesty.

After all, the Emperor had invested heavily in the construction of the Phoenix Palace. Just now, he had already emitted his Supreme Realm energy in order to intimidate Qingfeng Li, damaging the building in the process.

Profound Theory Cultivator glanced at the Third Princess. ”On your account,” he said, ”I promise that, if Qingfeng Li can withstand one strike from me, I will leave.”

The Third Princess opened her mouth, seeming to want to say more, but was stopped by Qingfeng Li waving his hand. To anyone else, Profound Theory Cultivator may be an extremely powerful foe, but Qingfeng Li was not afraid.

If the opponent had been a Third Level Supreme Realm master, Qingfeng Li might not have been a match for him. But right now, the opponent was only a First Level Supreme Realm master. With his current strength, Qingfeng Li could still withstand him with the Strangle Hell Fist.

Qingfeng Li smiled. ”Swing your fist, then,” he said.

Seeing the confidence on Qingfeng Li's face, a hint of displeasure appeared in Profound Theory Cultivator's eyes.

He was a master of the Supreme Realm; self-cultivators had always treated him with respect. Even in all of Lingyun, he was a powerful figure, but Qingfeng Li did not seem to be concerned about him at all.

Gathering his immense vital essence into his fist, Profound Theory Cultivator intended to use one powerful attack to mortally wound Qingfeng Li. Even if it didn't kill him, he intended to inflict serious injuries or to break his bones.

The energy radiating from Profound Theory Cultivator was very powerful. This was the energy of a master of the Supreme Realm. Li Yang and Princess Red-Swallow both backed up; they were the weakest people in the room and were completely unable to withstand the onslaught.

Inside the Phoenix Palace, tables, chairs, and stools were all shattered by the barrage of energy, reduced to fragments and then disappearing. Even the Palace itself began to wobble; cracks appeared on the floor under the force of a master of the Supreme Realm.

Just then, an old man in green appeared out of thin air. The figure abruptly raised both hands and crossed them, creating a massive defensive energy veil.

A strange light radiated from the defensive energy veil. The figure threw the energy veil down heavily and enveloped the Phoenix Palace, protecting it against Profound Theory Cultivator's Supreme level energy.

The Third Princess' eyes lit up. ”Grand Chamberlain,” she exclaimed. ”You're here.”

The white-haired old man nodded toward the Third Princess with a smile.

This was no ordinary old man; he was the head of staff of the Emperor of Lingyun. His power was unfathomable.

He had also studied arrays during his younger years. Just now, he had used a protective array to block the power of the Supreme Realm energy and preserve the Phoenix Palace.

Profound Theory Cultivator gazed at the white-haired old man, a glint in his eyes. He knew that the other was a powerful master. Luckily, he had not forcibly destroyed the Phoenix Palace just now. Otherwise, the arrival of the old man would have been extremely problematic.

Profound Theory Cultivator swung his right fist casually. His movements appeared slow, but were in reality extremely quick. He appeared, not in the air, but in the void.

This was the Void Fist, capable of moving from one dimension to another, but only within a short distance of about fifty meters.

Traversing the void for long distances required a massive amount of vital essence and spirit energy. Even a master of the Supreme Realm could not do so. That was something only saints or immortals could accomplish.

Qingfeng Li was startled, as well, when he saw the old man appear in the void; he hadn't expected him to have mastered a technique like the Void Fist.

It was a good thing that Qingfeng Li had his clairvoyance, and that he had studied spatial seal scriptures; he was able to see the fist techniques being used in the void clearly. Otherwise, he would have been in big trouble.
