In the crowd, Zhao Fuhu had been waiting for quite some time.
When he caught sight of Yu Wenjing, his eyes lit upâshe was indeed strikingly beautiful, with a clear, ethereal quality, and she was, after all, the Empress of Great Yu, of noble status.
From head to toe, she exuded an air of dignity and majesty.
Even Zhao Fuhu, as an Immortal Master, found himself greatly impressed.
But unfortunately, Yu Wenjing was very close to Lin Changâsheng.
This could only be blamed on her ill fate.
Boomâ
Zhao Fuhu gathered strength under his feet and leaped straight toward Yu Wenjing.
Beside Yu Wenjing, Jin Wuque sensed something was wrong ahead of time and immediately stepped in front of her, blade in hand.
"Protect Her Majesty!"
With Jin Wuqueâs bellow, several hundred soldiers instantly brandished their long spears, forming a wall before Yu Wenjing.
But how could these mortals possibly be a match for Zhao Fuhu?
Ripâ
Zhao Fuhu threw a punch, crackling with arcs of lightning.
The soldiers guarding Yu Wenjing were instantly blasted away, blood spraying everywhere, all killed in a single blow.
Even Martial Arts Grandmaster Jin Wuque couldnât withstand a strike, sent flying with blood spewing from his mouth.
Seeing this, Yu Wenjingâs pupils dilated in shock, terror gripping her heart.
She didnât remember ever offending this manâcould he be a Beimu Immortal Race spy hiding in Great Yu Imperial City?
"Die!"
After dispatching the soldiers guarding Yu Wenjing with one punch, Zhao Fuhu punched again, aiming straight for Yu Wenjing.
Bristling arcs of lightning danced, like an angry Celestial Godâhis aura overwhelming.
Zhao Fuhu, a prodigious disciple of the Liuyun Immortal Sect, was indeed powerful.
Though he had yet to break through to Golden Core cultivation, he had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.
In addition, he possessed Dual Spirit Roots, one of which was the Anomalous Thunder Spirit Root, incomparably domineering.
In Zhao Fuhuâs mind, if Lin Changâsheng hadnât killed his brother and seeded a Heart Demon within him, heâd likely have already broken through the bottleneck and advanced to Golden Core.
Today, he would let Lin Changâsheng taste the agony of losing his beloved.
With lightning rushing toward her, Yu Wenjing silently closed her eyes.
She was a mere Tier One Mortalâhow could she stand against an Immortal Master?
"Stopâ!"
Just as the Thunderbolt Fist Aura was about to strike Yu Wenjing, a thunderous voice roared from the horizon.
It was Lin Changâshengâs voice.
Though in the midst of Alchemy, he perceived every movement within the Imperial City at every moment.
The sudden burst of thunder in the Imperial City quickly drew his attention.
But Lin Changâshengâs shout had no effect whatsoever.
Zhao Fuhu had come for Yu Wenjingâs life.
Boomâ
The Thunderbolt Fist Aura struck Yu Wenjing squarely.
Zhao Fuhu thought one punch would be enough to kill Yu Wenjing.
What he didnât expect was that Yu Wenjing had Spiritual Treasure Armor protecting her.
The power of thunder was instantly absorbed by the armor.
Even so, the raging force of thunder still sent Yu Wenjing flying, killing her momentum.
She spat blood in the air, her phoenix crown falling to the ground as her hair scattered wildly.
"Zhao Fuhu, youâve got gutsâ!"
In the next instant, a streak of light tore through the distant sky at incredible speed.
Before Lin Changâsheng had arrived in person, his powerful Nascent Soul Divine Sense had already pinned Zhao Fuhu down, rendering him immobile.
It felt as if Zhao Fuhuâs shoulders were bearing the weight of several mountainsâcrushingly heavy.
"What the..."
Zhao Fuhu was stunnedâheâd planned to kill Yu Wenjing and then make his escape.
He never expected Lin Changâsheng to arrive so fast!
"Bring the Empress of Great Yu to me!"
As Zhao Fuhu found himself at a loss, resigned to the idea that Lin Changâsheng would kill him, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
The next moment, the restraint on his body vanished instantly.
Zhao Fuhu didnât have time to question who the voice belonged to; he immediately seized Yu Wenjing and tore through the sky.
When Lin Changâsheng reached the city wall, Zhao Fuhu had already left the Imperial City.
"Middle Stage Nascent Soul Divine Sense? You old bastard, you never left!"
Feeling the other partyâs Divine Sense, Lin Changâshengâs fury exploded within.
If not for a Middle Stage Nascent Soul Divine Sense assisting him, how could Zhao Fuhu have escaped?
Much less abducted Yu Wenjing.
Who else could it be but Celestial Concealment?
Lin Changâsheng didnât care whether Celestial Concealment was nearby; he immediately pursued Zhao Fuhu out of the Imperial City.
Just as Lin Changâsheng exited the city, a Sword Aura followed closely behind.
"Celestial Concealment is still in Great Yu? I should have killed him back then!"
The Wine Sword Immortal regretted his past hesitation.
When Celestial Concealment had been gravely wounded before, heâd wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
But Wang Chonglou had refused to get involved, allowing Celestial Concealment to escape safely.
Lin Changâsheng pursued Zhao Fuhu a hundred miles, about to catch him at last.
Suddenly, an old man with white hair and beard appeared ahead.
The old man thrust out his palm, and a Golden Radiance Palm Seal blasted forth.
Lin Changâsheng was forced to draw the Godslaying Blade, releasing a Blade Aura to meet it.
Rumbleâ
The Palm Seal and golden radiance collided, halting Lin Changâshengâs advance immediately.
In the distance, Zhao Fuhu reached the old manâs side and respectfully handed over Yu Wenjing.
"Thank you, Senior, for saving my life!"
Zhao Fuhuâs heart was still shaking with lingering fear.
If not for this white-haired elder intervening, forget capturing Yu Wenjingâheâd have lost his own life in the Imperial City of Great Yu.
Lin Changâshengâs cultivation was simply terrifying.
Golden Core Middle Stage cultivation, yet with Nascent Soul Level Divine Sense.
Thatâs not something just anyone can pull off.
Monstrous, truly!
Celestial Concealment didnât even glance at Zhao Fuhu, his gaze landing on Yu Wenjing.
This girl was indeed lovelyâhe never expected Lin Changâsheng to fall for a mortal.
That was a massive weakness.
After handing Yu Wenjing over to Celestial Concealment, Zhao Fuhu left the area immediately.
