that was a group of seven people, and they were all holding weapons tightly. the person in the front was extremely large and wielding a sword in one of his hands.
behind him was one fat person and one thin person. the fat one was so big that people couldn’t even tell if he was walking or rolling.
as for the thin one, he was skin and bones, looking just like a chimp. they were both tightly holding the swords and following behind that person at the front.
everyone was completely shocked to see this group appear. looking carefully, some people couldn’t help but exclaim, “isn’t that shi feng who won the competition during the phoenix cry lantern festival?”
“it really is him! there’s also the other two right behind him who i recall being very close to long chen!”
“could they be thinking of stopping the execution?” said some people in disbelief. it was true that shi feng was a genius, most likely only second to long chen.
but even so, he was only someone who had just advanced to the fifth heavenstage of blood condensation, and he was only leading a group of insignificant qi condensation brats. this was no different than sending themselves off to die.
“this is true brotherhood. i heard that long chen has given them many favors. they’re probably doing this to repay him. only such people are true men.” some people couldn’t help but sigh regretfully about their deaths, but at the same time, they were filled with respect and admiration for them.
this was basically a path of death they were walking. for them to do such a thing required more than just sheer courage.
looking at this group of people that had suddenly appeared, chu xia frowned. he knew that shi feng and them were extremely close to long chen.
but he also knew that shi feng would be his generation’s peak expert. he had hoped that he could pull him in and groom him as one of his subordinates. that was why they hadn’t been implicated at all this time.
however, he hadn’t expected shi feng to be so bold and actually dare try to stop the execution with the top experts of both phoenix cry and the grand xia present.
before the fourth prince even said anything, there was already a group of soldiers which blocked their path.
“those who try to block me will die!” shi feng shouted angrily and raised his sword. he charged forward valiantly.
“charge! save brother long’s household!” fatty yu also followed closely behind shi feng. with shi feng in the lead, their small group charged a squad of over a hundred elite soldiers.
“if you dare keep coming forward, all of you will die!” shouted the leader of the squad coldly when he saw that shi feng still didn’t stop.
in truth, he was actually being kind. he hoped shi feng would stop while he still could. in front of this many experts, there was not even the slightest chance of them succeeding, and so he tried to give shi feng and the others a path to survival.
at the same time, he was also influenced by shi feng’s loyalty that was unbending even in the face of death. his troops, which had seen blood before, admired such a brotherly camaraderie even more than the commoners.
unfortunately, he was disappointed to see that shi feng didn’t stop at all, instead advancing even faster.
shi feng raised his sword and heavily slashed it at that leader’s spear. his power exploded and that squad leader, who was also at the mid stage of blood condensation, was forced back a dozen steps.
that was definitely surprising. no one had expected shi feng to be so strong at such a young age. the squad leader quickly stabilized himself and pierced his spear at shi feng.
suddenly, blood qi exploded from shi feng’s body. his mid blood condensation aura immediately erupted and his sword slashed down once more.
that squad leader’s arm turned numb and his hand split open. his spear was sent flying out dozens of meters away, and it continued to tremble incessantly even as it pierced the ground.
he now realized that shi feng was an extremely unbending person. the odds of chu xia being able to convert him into one of his subordinates was not great. and so he didn’t say a single thing in objection.
ha qi’s speed was extremely great, practically inconceivable. he traversed a distance of hundreds of meters in just a couple of blinks. arriving beside shi feng, he sent a palm forward.
shi feng, who was originally fighting three squad leaders, suddenly felt a shiver run through his body. a terrifying aura completely locked onto him.
the four of them were astonished and stopped fighting immediately. a terrifying palm wind descended, and they quickly blocked it.
bang!
shi feng had been the first to realize something was wrong. he wasn’t like those three who stupidly stood still to block it, but instead quickly retreated.
however, he was still scraped by that palm wind and he became like a kite whose string had been cut, tumbling back dozens of meters and spitting out blood.
now looking back to that spot, those three squad leaders, who had been fighting with him, were now unrecognizable as their corpses lay on the ground. their bones had all been shattered and their auras had disappeared.
“ah, i’m sorry. i guess that was a bit too strong.” ha qi smiled slightly. however, that apology of his was not the least bit apologetic.
the battle completely stopped. all of them were stupefied by this sudden change. looking at those corpses that didn’t even have human form anymore, everyone was silent for a long time.
those were their squad leaders at the mid blood condensation realm! all three of them had been killed by a single palm; how could that not be appalling?
“a tendon transformation expert!”
finally, someone let out an alarmed cry. only a tendon transformation expert could so easily kill the three of them.
“you...” chu xia’s expression sunk. how could he possibly not realize that xia youyu had done this on purpose to embarrass him?
“ah, what an unexpected mishap. after all, a tendon transformation expert is also human, and fists do not have eyes. no one can guarantee anything in the midst of battle. i think that prince chu xia should be able to understand this. what do you think?” smiled xia youyu.
he had purposely told ha qi to do this. he wanted to tell this nephew of his that although he had that person’s support, he wouldn’t be able to support him for a lifetime. so he should be more reserved and not so excessive.
how could the fourth prince not understand xia youyu’s meaning? he was full of fury, but he didn’t make a move. instead, he was recording this hatred in his heart.
after shi feng spat out a mouthful of blood, he slowly stood back up. even in the face of a tendon transformation expert, he didn’t have the slightest intention of retreat.
“shi feng, quickly run! don’t sacrifice your life in vain!” mrs. long couldn’t bear to see him send himself to die for nothing.
shi feng didn’t reply. in fact, none of the others replied either. other than one person that was too heavily wounded, the others all stood behind shi feng, facing against ha qi together.
a cruel smile appeared on ha qi’s face. “excellent, you guys really are smart. dying one by one really is worse than dying altogether. i’ll help finish all of you off quickly!”
ha qi laughed coldly and stamped his foot. veins appeared on his fist as though vines were under his skin. he smashed his fist into shi feng.
many of the phoenix cry empire’s people, whether it was soldiers or commoners, couldn’t watch as shi feng and the rest were smashed into pulp, and so they all closed their eyes.
suddenly, the sound of a sword being unsheathed rang through the air. a cold light flashed in the air as a sword slashed down upon ha qi.
