Chapter 15: How Powerful!
Chapter 15: How Powerful!
Lin Ping was willing to stay behind, even though he had stated very clearly that he would only stay for now and leave immediately if the opponent was too powerful.
After hearing this, Chun Fei was still very touched.
She felt that Lin Ping had feelings towards her, but never expected that she would be so highly-ranked in Lin Ping's heart that he was willing to take such a great risk for her!
Thus, Chun Fei was extremely touched. She shook her head and advised him, "Lin Ping, there's no need to wait. You should hurry up and leave. I will repay your favor in my next life. Tonight, the Empress will not possibly let me off. She will definitely send a grade-8 assassin here, so there's no need to leave things to luck.
"Furthermore, I believe you know better than me how powerful grade-8 experts are. If you wanted to leave after the assassin arrives, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape."
One would see who their true friends were in times of trouble.
Lin Ping had the cultivation base of a grade-7 master but was willing to silently remain at the cold palace for almost eight years. In the past, Chun Fei even suspected that Lin Ping had other motives.
However, when faced with the attack of a powerful enemy and the high possibility that he might not survive if he remained, Lin Ping still wanted to try and protect her.
They were neither relatives nor friends. What was the objective behind him doing so?
It could not possibly be just for the sweeping job, right?
No normal person would think this way!
Thus, Chun Fei silently remembered this favor in her heart.
She could not repay the favor in this life, so she could only repay his kind acts in the next one.
What she could do now was to warn Lin Ping to leave quickly and to not struggle unnecessarily, losing his life in the cold palace for nothing.
This was not worth it.
"It's fine. I'm well aware of the situation."
Lin Ping was rather puzzled when he saw the touched expression on Chun Fei's face.
He had clearly said that he would only attack within his means. If the opponent was too powerful and had even the slightest possibility of threatening him, he would not hesitate to retreat and leave.
Was there a need to be so touched?
Furthermore, he only did so in order to continue sweeping at the cold palace.
Just as Chun Fei wanted to say something else, Lin Ping suddenly furrowed his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Someone's here."
After a moment, a middle-aged man dressed in red round-collared eunuch clothes nimbly arrived. He vaulted over the wall and landed in the courtyard of Changmen Palace.
"Directorate of Palace Seals Manager Luo Feng!" When Chun Fei saw him, her gaze was stern and her pupils dilated. She shouted angrily, "The Empress actually sent you over. It looks like you were also involved in my sister's death back then!"
"Your Majesty Chun Fei, it looks like you have indeed investigated many things over the past few years," Luo Feng responded calmly and expressionlessly, but his gaze carefully and cautiously scanned the entire Changmen Palace. He wanted to find the expert that was hiding in Changmen Palace.
There was definitely an expert in Changmen Palace.
Otherwise, Assistant Manager Zhu Dayong, who had a grade-7 cultivation base, would not have died a miserable death here six years ago.
The only thing he was uncertain about was whether this hidden expert in Changmen Palace had a grade-7 cultivation base or they had reached grade-8!
If the expert had a grade-7 cultivation base, they would be very easy to deal with. Tonight, everyone in the Changmen Palace had to die, and there would be no survivors.
But if this hidden expert had a grade-8 cultivation base, it would be somewhat troublesome.
"Your Majesty, why did you bother? You can't change the past. That incident happened so many years ago, so why did you constantly try to get to the heart of the problem? Even if you investigated the details, so what?"
Luo Feng seemed to be casually chatting, but he did not relax even for a moment. Instead, he was silently making calculations in his heart.
How were there only three people in Changmen Palace?
The three people were Chun Fei, her personal imperial maid Yun Su, and a eunuch who swept the floor.
Their cultivation bases were grade-6, grade-4, and a passer-by who could not fight, respectively.
These three were the people living in Changmen Palace on the surface. He was very clear of the situation, and these people did not pose any threat to him.
But
What about the mysterious expert who hid in Changmen Palace?
Apart from these three people, Luo Feng did not sense the presence of a fourth person in here.
Let's see where you can hide!
"Your Majesty, people like you have to look ahead. If you were more well-behaved, the situation would not have reached this stage. Your Majesty, your looks can compare to your sister's back then. In fact, your looks even exceed your sister's! How could the Emperor send you to the cold palace and not visit you for over ten years? In my view, Your Majesty, you are not as smart as your sister, Senior Concubine Li. When your sister was around, the Emperor was infatuated and only doted on her"
Luo Feng seemed as if he had the gift of the gab.
However, even as he spoke, his figure had gone to check the row of rooms in Changmen Palace.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
At every room, he stretched out his arm, and his internal energy trembled slightly, causing the door to open. Then, he could see everything in each room at a glance.
When he finished speaking, the dozen rooms in Changmen Palace had been checked by him.
The results were beyond his expectations.
There was no one in the rooms at all!
Luo Feng could not help but laugh. Was his luck so good that the mysterious expert hiding in Changmen Palace was not around and had gone out for something?
If this was the case, then he was truly lucky.
Without the mysterious expert, he would be able to eliminate Chun Fei, the imperial maid, and the eunuch in the courtyard with a wave of his finger.
After understanding the situation, Luo Feng's long-winded habit disappeared, and he did not say anything else.
Instead, his figure flashed, and he arrived in front of Chun Fei. Then, as he was about to attack her, he said, "Your Majesty, if you have the opportunity to reincarnate as a human in your next life, you need to learn how to be smart."
Upon seeing this, Chun Fei was very shocked as she completely did not expect Luo Feng to attack so suddenly.
She had wanted to try to drag out some time for Lin Ping to escape, but it was too late now.
Chun Fei, who had a grade-6 cultivation base, was also considered a rare expert. However, when she was faced with Luo Feng's casual slap, she had the feeling that she would undoubtedly die. She could only continue moving and do her best to fend off the attack. At the same time, her body rapidly retreated as she shouted, "Luo Feng, if you kill me, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will punish you?"
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be concerned about that. If you go to hell and see Senior Concubine Li, remember to send her my regards"
Luo Feng laughed softly. Then, his palm energy suddenly grew stronger, suppressing Chun Fei with an earth-shattering momentum. There was no doubt that Chun Fei would die with her grade-6 cultivation base.
Lin Ping had already planned to attack.
After all, even though Directorate of Palace Seals Manager Luo Feng had the cultivation base of a grade-8, he was much weaker than Lin Ping had expected.
He was weak to the point that Lin Ping felt that he would not need a second attack to kill him.
However, Lin Ping stopped at the last juncture.
This was because two figures, one black and one white, had secretly arrived on the roof of Changmen Palace without his knowledge.
They were Black and White Impermanence, who had secretly snuck into Wenyuan Pavilion to examine various martial arts records tonight!
For some reason, these two demons had come here.
Furthermore, just as Luo Feng was about to perform a killing technique on Chun Fei, White Impermanence gave off a strange laugh. "Pretty girl, let me save you!"
The moment he finished talking, his body flashed as his speed reached its peak, leaving behind a series of shadows in the air. White Impermanence arrived next to Chun Fei.
Then, his fist shot out. Not only was Luo Feng's fist attack completely dispersed, Luo Feng was even forced to retreat a few steps before he could stabilize his body.
"As expected, there was an expert!"
Luo Feng was scared. Just as he was about to ask something, White Impermanence's attack had struck him.
This person's fist techniques were extremely powerful. Every time his fist shot out, the air would produce exploding sounds from the pressure even before the fist energy reached his opponent. As a result, Luo Feng was out of breath.
It was a grade-8 master!
How troublesome! It looked like this was the mysterious expert who had been protecting Chun Fei all along for the past few years in Changmen Palace. However, Luo Feng did not withdraw because of this. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and delivered a set of punches. Instead of retreating, he advanced!
The Empress had given him an absolute order he had to kill Chun Fei tonight, or he would die.
As Luo Feng unceasingly delivered attacks with his two fists, he also secretly produced a sucking power at the same time that continuously dissolved White Impermanence's fist energy.
Both of them attacked very quickly as their fists clashed. In the blink of an eye, they had attacked each other over ten times.
The more Luo Feng fought, the more fearful he became. This mysterious expert in front of him was stronger than him. He had probably studied the grade-8 realm meticulously for over ten years and was a veteran grade-8 master.
Just as Luo Feng was planning how to create a diversion to escape White Impermanence and kill Chun Fei before withdrawing
He never expected that White Impermanence would suddenly shout, "This eunuch is a bit hard to handle. Senior Brother, lend me a helping hand!"
There was another expert?
When Luo Feng heard this, he was shocked. The mysterious expert in front of him was already terrifying enough. It would be awful if another expert arrived.
He was making an empty show of strength, right?
If Chun Fei had two grade-8 experts of this level supporting her, how could she have fallen to her current position?
However, the next moment, Luo Feng was full of regret.
Crash!
There was a whooshing sound, and a terrifying attack charged towards Luo Feng from behind. As a result, Luo Feng could not help but grit his teeth and face White Impermanence's fist energy with one hand, while freeing his other hand to resist the attack from behind.
Black Impermanence, who attacked from behind, did not perform fist techniques, but leg techniques. Furthermore, in terms of power, these leg techniques were even stronger than White Impermanence's fist techniques.
Puff!
He was being attacked from both sides. No matter how exquisite Luo Feng's fist techniques were, they were knocked apart by force. Then, two waves of brutal and ridiculous power attacked his body. He immediately vomited a mouthful of blood.
How powerful!
Luo Feng widened his eyes, and his gaze was filled with fear and panic. He wanted to withdraw and retreat.
If he did not leave now, he would die here!
