Chapter 982 ā The Third Stage
The three princes had ugly expressions. They didnāt expect the final outcome to be like this.
The decisions they had to make right now were extremely difficult. If they wanted to press the attack, they couldnāt win, but if they wanted to retreat, all the members held hostage by Zhao Feng would die.
Furthermore, the Seventh Prince was still hiding behind them at full power. Even if the three princes paid a heavy price and somehow managed to defeat the Ninth Princeās team, they wouldnāt be able to defend against the Seventh Princeās ambush.
Everything they did in the end would just pave the way for someone else.
āIf the three of you arenāt willing to hand over the pseudo Crown Prince Seal, thereās still one other method that can save your members,ā Zhao Fengās emotionless voice sounded once more.
Both friend and foe alike all knew what this method was.
āFine... I admit defeat.ā The Second Prince looked at Zhao Feng coldly, raised his pseudo Crown Prince Seal, and poured a surge of Intent into it.
No matter what they did today, they had lost. However, the Second Prince didnāt want to waste his effort just to benefit the Seventh Prince and he didnāt want to give his draconic providence to Zhao Feng. If his members all died here as well, then the forces that supported him might change their minds.
āBrother Second Prince, donāt be rash!ā The Fifth Princeās expression turned to shock.
He knew what Zhao Feng meant as well, but he couldnāt just admit defeat in front of so many people. He knew that the Second Prince was a person who didnāt take risks, but once the Second Prince left, what would the Fifth Prince and the Twelfth Prince do? Thus, the Fifth Prince had to try to persuade the Second Prince.
The Second Prince didnāt bother with the Fifth Prince, he just sent the signal for help from the pseudo Crown Prince Seal.
Weng~
A profound and complex array spread from the pseudo Crown Prince Seal. At the same time, a light flashed from all of the Dragon Jades connected to the Second Princeās pseudo Crown Prince Seal, and an array started to activate.
Hu~
The Second Prince and his team left the battlefield.
āBrother Fifth Prince, what should we do?ā The Twelfth Prince didnāt know what to do after seeing the Second Prince leave.
The Fifth Prince had a dead expression and didnāt know what to do either.
While the two princes were thinking about what to do, within the Little World of Wind Lightning: āSince the princes you support donāt want to save you, then donāt blame me for being disrespectful.ā
Zhao Fengās voice resounded across the entire Little World, and those that were still alive in the Little World revealed expressions of fear and fell to the ground.
āDonāt kill me! Fifth Prince, please save me!ā
āIām willing to hand over all my wealth! Just donāt kill me!ā
āIf you kill me, the Ocean Guarding Hall wonāt forgive you!ā
Boom! Hu~~~
Zhao Fengās Little World of Wind Lightning suddenly contracted, and an even stronger pressure bore down on those still inside. Limitless power of Wind Lightning descended in the Little World.
Boom!
The Scarlet Wings of Lightning on Zhao Fengās back fluttered as he took the lives of the remaining people.
Whoosh!
After completing this, Zhao Fengās Little World of Wind Lightning disappeared. He perched above the metallic city wall and revealed a faint smile as he looked into the distance.
The members of the Seventh Princeās team a hundred miles away shook. They were about to go invite the Twelfth and Fifth Princes to an alliance, but Zhao Feng instantly killed a bunch of Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords.
āHe killed them all!ā Jiang Haoās heart shook.
āZhao Feng seems to have taken us into account from the start.ā The scholarās expression changed as he thought of something.
āHow is this possible?ā The Seventh Prince didnāt believe it. Although Zhao Fengās actions just now did indeed stun them, the scholar said that Zhao Feng made his plan with them in mind from the start. The Seventh Prince didnāt dare to believe this.
āI understand now. The reason why Zhao Feng chose to break through at this moment is to avoid the three princes working with us.ā The scholar suddenly understood.
Zhao Feng entered seclusion and revealed a flaw so that the three princes would attack. Seeing that, the Seventh Prince decided to just stay back and wait to benefit from their fight instead of teaming up with the three princes.
āHow is that possible!?ā Jiang Hao was dazed after hearing what the scholar said.
However, what the scholar said was correct. Today was the last day. If there was nothing else they could do, the Seventh Prince might indeed team up with the other three princes.
However, at this moment in time, the three princes had been utterly defeated, and the Second Prince had already admitted defeat. Even if they teamed up with the remaining two princes now, the Ninth Princeās team had the ability to fight back.
āWe lost without even fighting.ā The scholar sighed.
The enemies that were still in a stalemate against the Sky Shaking Golden Apes on the city wall felt their hearts and legs tremble when they saw Zhao Feng kill the remaining Emperors and Quasi-Sacred Lords.
āRun!ā the Fifth Prince roared. He had given up on attacking the city. However, he wouldnāt admit defeat even though he would be sent out anyway at the end of the second stage tonight.
āQuickly retreat!ā the Twelfth Prince also exclaimed.
The enemies on the city wall instantly used their secret techniques to run, and their beast horde below also quickly retreated under the command of the beast tamers.
āYou want to leave?ā Shi Yulei felt extremely smug and prepared to chase after the enemy.
āThereās no need to chase after them.ā Zhao Feng stopped Shi Yulei. At the same time, a faint undulation of mental energy flashed through his left eye.
He had completed his mark of the God Eye.
āHahaha! We won!ā Shi Yulei also knew the reasoning behind not chasing after a defeated enemy in case they decided to unleash an all-out counterattack in their despair.
The members of the Ninth Princeās team instantly let out a breath, and they somehow felt that this fight wasnāt as difficult as they originally imagined it would be.
āZhao Feng, your breakthrough was to lure them in, right?ā Old Ying thought about it carefully and seemed to understand why Zhao Feng chose to break through at this moment and reveal a weakness.
If the three princes teamed up with the Seventh Prince, even Zhao Feng could do nothing. Therefore, Zhao Feng purposely revealed a weakness in the Ninth Princeās team to incite a quick attack.
Facing an enemy with such a huge flaw, everyone would have their own ideas. Why would they team up if they didnāt have to?
Hearing what Old Ying said, everyone else seemed to understand as well. In this battle, not only had they defeated the three princes on the surface, they also forced the Seventh Princeās team, who was hiding in the darkness, into despair. It was like killing two birds with one stone. Even if the remaining two princes teamed up with the Seventh Prince at this point, it was impossible for them to conquer the Ninth Princeās Heavenās Legacy City.
The Ninth Princeās team had obtained steady control of this city.
āHehe, itās still not over yet.ā Zhao Feng revealed a playful smile.
Hu~
A dark silver bow with mysterious tadpole-like markings appeared in Zhao Fengās hand. The other members of the Ninth Princeās team looked at him with puzzlement.
Zhao Feng used the mark of the God Eye to sense the Fifth Princeās location.
Weng~~ Jiang!
Zhao Feng pulled back the bowstring and inserted his Fire of Wind Lightning into it. An arrow made of scarlet lightning started to condense on the Sky Locking Bow.
Whoosh!
Zhao Feng casually shot an arrow out.
āHmm?ā The Fifth Prince, who had escaped very far away by now, felt like there was a pair of eyes watching him. The Fifth Prince suddenly turned around and saw an arrow of scarlet lightning shooting at him.
āAmbush?ā The Fifth Prince was stunned, and he immediately circulated his True Yuan to unleash a defensive technique.
Boom!
When the dust faded away, the Fifth Princeās body was scorched black. Without the draconic providence, he was just an Emperor and obviously couldnāt block Zhao Fengās attack. If Zhao Feng had used the Sky Locking Bow with his full power just now, this arrow mightāve taken the Fifth Princeās life.
āHow is this possible? How can Zhao Feng still attack us from so far away?ā The Twelfth Prince squinted his eyes and saw Zhao Feng holding a bow on the city wall.
āLetās quickly leave. This place is wicked.ā The Fifth Prince was enraged and frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.
Whoosh!
Another arrow shot over. This time, the target was the Twelfth Prince.
Boom!
āZhao Feeeeeng!ā The Twelfth Princeās eyes bulged out in anger.
The two princes retreated another couple hundred miles, but mysterious arrows kept raining down on the Fifth and Twelfth Princes.
The members that followed the two princes felt their hearts twitch. It didnāt matter where the two princes ran; the arrows that Zhao Feng shot out seemed to have eyes and would always be able to find the two princes.
The draconic providence within the two princeās pseudo Crown Prince Seals was finally completely used up, and they were forced to ask for help. This resulted in all of them being teleported away.
No one on the Ninth Princeās city wall knew what Zhao Feng was doing. He just kept on pulling his bowstring and shooting arrows in a random direction.
However, everyone in the Great Gan Imperial Palace saw what happened clearly. Zhao Feng was able to hit the two princes by just casually pulling his bow even from several thousand miles away. Even the most professional archers in the lord dynasty couldnāt do this.
The Second Prince paused, and he suddenly felt that admitting defeat and choosing to leave was a very wise decision. At this moment, the Fifth and Twelfth Princes were extremely ruffled and completely scorched black, and they had been forced to ask for help anyway. Compared to him, the other two had lost way more face.
The owners of the four Heavenās Legacy Cities were just about fully confirmed, and the experts of many forces remembered Zhao Feng. His calm and critical thinking, powerful strength, and countless techniques made them admire him.
The faces of all the experts within the Ninth Princeās hall were red. They hadnāt thought that the Ninth Prince would be able to take over a Heavenās Legacy City and enter the third stage of the Crown Prince trial.
āMaster!ā Bi Qingyueās eyes were watery as she looked at the Ninth Princeās screen with love and awe.
āAs expected of Grand Elder!ā Zhan Jieāer also looked up to Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng was probably the only person in the history of the lord dynasty to defeat a Sacred Lord as a measly King.
āZhao Feng!ā Tie Hongnanās expression was grim. That display from Zhao Feng even made him feel like taking Zhao Feng as his disciple, but unfortunately, Zhao Feng didnāt want to return to the Tie Family, and his soul wasnāt from the Tie Family either.
āElder Hongnan, what should we do about Zhao Feng?ā Tie Litian asked.
Tie Hongnan didnāt reply. They were originally going to use more forceful methods, but now he would need to discuss things with the other Elders of the family.
Within the Thirteenth Princeās hall:
āThis Zhao Feng...!ā Sacred Lord Demonic Abyss had an ugly expression. Zhao Fengās potential made him uneasy. Furthermore, Zhao Fengās perfect Blood Devil Sun bloodline made his head hurt as well.
As night descended, the members of the Seventh Princeās team were teleported out by the stone tablet. The Crown Prince trial had entered the third stage ā Clash between Princes.
