The young prince moved quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was on the third floor of the Phoenix Palace. The guards, unable to stop him, had been knocked out with ease.
As for the Phoenix Palace’s servers and manager, they were scared witless.
These people here today, they were all important figures; whether it was the Third Princess drinking tea on the third floor or the young prince who had just appeared. None of them were individuals that the manager could afford to displease. As it was, he could only hide and avert his eyes, pretending that he didn’t know anything.
The young prince stood on the third floor, staring at the Third Princess before him. “Cousin,” he said. “You should know that I’ve always admired you. I even asked the Emperor for your hand in marriage. But now, you’re here with some other man. I am very upset.”
Hearing the young prince’s words, the Third Princess’s eyes flickered with rage.
She glared at the young prince, her eyes cold. “I’ve never said that I admired you,” she said, indifferently. “Nor did I agree to your proposal. What is it to me if you are upset?”
A shadow crossed over the young prince’s face. He hadn’t expected that his cousin would treat him with such disrespect. He couldn’t believe that she would mock him and say she didn’t like him in front of other people.
The young prince was furious. Not toward the Third Princess; he didn’t dare. But he focused the flames of his rage upon Qingfeng Li.
“Where did this country bumpkin come from,” he said, his voice cold and mocking as he stared at Qingfeng Li. “There is mud on you, too. How dare you bring your filth into the Phoenix Palace? This place is only for the nobility.”
In the face of the young prince’s mockery, Qingfeng Li remained silent. Beside him, however, Black Puppy perked up in rage. They were eighth level spirit emperor realm masters! How dare this young prince humiliate them?
Walking in front of Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy lifted a paw toward the young prince. “Where did this dog come from? What, can’t you talk like a human? How dare you talk to my friend like that? Watch me suffocate you with my fart!”
The young prince’ face darkened, a hint of anger appearing in his eyes. He had been talking to Qingfeng Li. What he did not expect was for Qingfeng Li to treat him like he wasn’t even there.
Not only that, but a dog had walked out from beside him and berated him. He was about to explode with rage.
The young prince looked at Black Puppy, murderous intent in his eyes.
“You little mutt,” he said coldly, “You’re asking for it. I’m going to skin you and turn you into dog kebabs.”
He swung out with his right hand, releasing a massive vital essence fist. It came at Black Puppy with Emperor Class force.
Black Puppy pursed its lips in disdain. He had recognized that the young prince was only at the Seventh Level of the Spirit Emperor Realm, a level beneath itself. He was no match for the puppy.
The puppy stood there calmly, motionless. He was imitating Qingfeng Li, acting like some peerless grand master. His arrogant expression nearly made the young prince blow up with rage.
The young prince’s vital essence hand had arrived before Black Puppy, just a moment away from hitting its head and killing it. It was then that Black Puppy finally moved, but not to lift a paw to attack; rather, it opened its mouth instead.
Black Puppy’s mouth turned into a gaping maw, biting down hard on the young prince’s vital essence hand and eating it.
It chewed a few times, and the vital essence was completely disintegrated by its teeth. The vital essence was turned into wisps of energy that was absorbed into Black Puppy’s body.
Seeing this, the young prince let out a shrill cry. He did not expect his attack to be eaten by Black Puppy. He could not accept such flippant mockery to be directed at him.
With a thought, the young prince produced a long blade from his interspatial wristband. The weapon was exceptionally long, at nearly two meters, and was engraved with golden solar seal scriptures.
A strong energy radiated from this golden long blade, piercing the heavens.
Even the roof of the Phoenix Palace was torn apart by this blade energy; it left a large hole in the ceiling. It was evident how terrifyingly powerful this blade was.
The third princess’s expression changed.
“Young Prince,” she said loudly. “What are you doing? That Supreme Class spiritual treasure was gifted to your father by the Emperor himself. Why are you attacking innocent people with it?”
“Today, I will use this Supreme Class weapon to slay this Black Puppy,” the young prince said. “It had the balls to eat my vital essence attack; this mutt is insulting me!”
Activating his vital essence, the young prince abruptly swung his golden long blade before him, releasing a beam of golden blade energy.
The golden blade energy seemed to contain a miniature red sun, swirling with scorching heat, just like a real sun.
This golden long blade had been forged in a Magma Sun-Well with supreme-class black steel. After it had been forged, it was etched with golden solar seal scriptures, taken from Mars. The weapon was extremely powerful.
When the golden blade energy materialized, it soared before Black Puppy instantly, tearing fissures through the air.
Black Puppy’s expression changed. It knew that, with its current strength alone, it could not withstand an attack from a Supreme Class Spiritual Treasure.
It did not expect a simple young prince to have such a weapon. If it had known, the puppy would not have insulted him; he wouldn’t have caused trouble for no reason.
Beside the puppy, Qingfeng Li furrowed his brow. Naturally, he wasn’t about to stand by and watch Black Puppy get injured. So he took a step forward and put himself in front of Black Puppy protectively.
Raising his right hand, Qingfeng Li reached forward and grabbed the golden blade energy in his hand. No matter how the blade energy struggled, it could not escape his grasp.
Closing his hand, Qingfeng Li applied pressure and shattered the golden light in his grip. The light faded away into dots of golden light, disappearing into the sky over the Phoenix Palace.
Seeing this unfold, the young prince’s expression shifted to one of shock. He was a Seventh Level Spirit Emperor and was well aware of how powerful his Supreme Class Spiritual Treasure was.
Supreme Class Spiritual Treasures could slay any master of the Spirit Emperor Realm. How was it that, against this man in front of him, its attacks were so easily shattered? He found the situation difficult to believe.
Qingfeng Li looked at the young prince with a smile.
“Your attack is too weak,” he said,” Why don’t you leave, I don’t feel like killing anyone today.”
Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the young prince let out a bellowing laugh. His eyes, however, glowed viciously.
“You are really full of yourself,” he said, his voice cold. “Can you really kill me?”
In the last attack, the young prince had only used half of his full strength. And he had only used the golden long blade to release blade energy. He hadn’t used any blade techniques, so he was planning to attack again to show his true power.
Sneering, a piercing energy radiated from the young prince as he walked toward Qingfeng Li.
