Upon hearing Bi Linglong's words, everyone in the Qi Prince's Mansion burst into laughter. What a joke! Lu Xiao was the number one expert among the guest elders of the Qi Prince's Mansion, a mid-stage Grandmaster, and ranked among the top in the capital city where experts were numerous.
Although Bi Linglong's cultivation level is quite good among her peers, she is too young and is no match for Lu Xiao at all.
To put it bluntly, any disciple Lu Xiao could send out could easily surpass Bi Linglong in cultivation.
Lu Xiao smiled and said, "I've long heard that the Crown Princess is witty and intelligent, but I never expected to discover today that you're even better at telling jokes."
After saying that, he stopped smiling and said, "You're not qualified to compete with me."
His tone was calm, without any anger, as if he were talking about something perfectly normal.
Even the people in the Eastern Palace were baffled, unable to understand why the Crown Princess would make such a request.
You should know that Meng Pan's cultivation level was above that of the Crown Princess, yet Lu Xiao just killed him without even using his hands. Wasn't the Crown Princess just throwing her life away?
Zuan also frowned and looked at Bi Linglong, but he didn't say anything because he knew that the other party was not the kind of person who spoke carelessly.
As expected, Bi Linglong stepped forward and coldly stared at Lu Xiao: "I will only use one sword strike. You can talk about qualifications only if you survive."
After she finished speaking, she placed her finger on the flower ornament between her eyebrows. Immediately afterward, a golden light emanated from between her eyebrows, and then she slowly rose up and stood in mid-air. Her originally elegant and exquisite hair bun was completely loosened, and her long black hair danced in the wind. She looked like a goddess about to unleash divine punishment.
"Ninth Rank or Grandmaster?" Wei Pingyang and the others from the Qi Prince's Mansion were all shocked. As everyone knows, only those above the ninth rank have such flying ability. Could it be that the Crown Princess is actually above the ninth rank?
But how is that possible?
But the facts left them no choice but to believe, because they felt Bi Linglong's aura surge instantly.
A terrifying pressure descended instantly, and those nearby trembled and involuntarily knelt on the ground.
Even Zu An's cultivation level couldn't withstand it, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
"The Emperor's aura?" Zu An stared at Bi Linglong in horror. He was all too familiar with this aura. Back when those embroidered-robed envoys from Mingyue City requested an imperial decree, the Emperor's single strike had almost left him with a psychological trauma.
Zu An often saw the flower ornament between Bi Linglong's eyebrows and thought it was a very beautiful accessory. After all, many of the court beauties in ancient costume dramas in his previous life had similar decorations. He didn't think much of it. Little did he know that it was actually a seal, sealing an extremely powerful killing move.
Lu Xiao's smile froze. He changed his previous relaxed demeanor and hurriedly raised his hands, and a transparent energy shield appeared around him, enveloping him.
Even so, alarm bells were ringing in his mind. In that instant, he knew he was locked onto by that terrifying aura, and every cell in his body was telling him of the impending threat of death.
He dared not be negligent and used all his cultivation to quickly set up seven layers of protective shields around him. At the same time, a precious sword floated above his head. It was his natal magic weapon, which he had sworn to live and die with.
Just then, Bi Linglong opened her eyes, her gaze filled with indifference, like an empress who judges everything. Behind her, a golden phantom appeared and disappeared.
"Your Majesty!" Although the figure was blurry, the features were still discernible, and the people of the Qi Prince's mansion finally understood what was going on with that particularly familiar sense of authority.
For a moment, they were all terrified. After all, the concept that the emperor was invincible was deeply ingrained in people's minds, and no one dared to fight the emperor, even if they had reached the Grandmaster level.
"Linglong is amazing! Kill them!" The Crown Prince clapped and shouted excitedly. Everyone in the Eastern Palace looked delighted, no longer feeling the despair they had just felt.
It turns out the Emperor had left such a contingency plan. With the Emperor around, what are the others?
Only Zu'an was worried. Could Bi Linglong withstand such a powerful move? After all, she had only just broken through to the sixth rank.
Unlike the embroidered-robed messengers of the past who requested imperial edicts, these edicts used a specially made, intricate array to communicate with the power of heaven and earth, thereby drawing the emperor's divine will to them.
But Bi Linglong's move was clearly different. Now, this secret realm was a world unto itself, and even the emperor's divine sense could not cross the two worlds.
Therefore, this move should be the emperor's way of saving Bi Linglong's life. But how could such a powerful move be unleashed with the help of the body without paying a price?
Just then, Bi Linglong finally moved. She raised the sword in her hand and gently slashed it towards Lu Xiao.
At the same time, the phantom behind Bi Linglong also reached out and slashed, and a huge golden sword aura shot out, seemingly transcending the concepts of time and space, and appeared directly in front of Lu Xiao.
The seven protective shields he had set up in front of him shattered instantly, as if made of paper, and then the sword beam struck the natal sword above his head.
The sword held on for a second, but then it shattered into pieces.
His natal magic sword shattered, and Lu Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood. His originally rosy face turned ashen white. However, he had no time to recover his breath. Instead, he struggled to raise his hands to try to block the sword energy.
boom……
A loud bang, and dust flew everywhere.
A ravine several tens of feet wide appeared in the direction where Lu Xiao was, and all the trees, grass and rocks along the way were turned into dust. As for the experts from the Qi Prince's Mansion who were with Lu Xiao, they simply vanished into thin air.
Everyone stared in horror at what they saw; the power of that single sword strike was terrifying beyond belief!
Wei Pingyang and the others instinctively took a few steps back. Even Lu Xiao couldn't withstand this sword strike, so they were even less able to do anything about it.
