2400: Enemies Are Bound to Meet

Enemies Are Bound to Meet

Even though the second prince was frustrated, he couldn't rebuke him. After all, he, just like their third brother, were rookie minor mystic cultivators.1

He felt stifled whenever cultivation was mentioned.

Was this his fault? This was completely dependent upon one's natural gift!

Since he was not naturally gifted, he was destined to not be a powerful cultivator, but being born into the imperial family was in of itself heaven-defying good luck!

"Whatever is beneath the ice cap is about to come out!" Vassal Prince Rong struck his whip and caught up to Duan Yue's arctic ice wolf. "It won't do to continue on like this! The convoy is too slow!"

"Assemble a team to cover the retreat." Duan Yue spoke coldly and glanced toward Rong Qing. "Don't pick repulsive people that cause trouble!"

Rong Qing was at a loss for words. He nodded and galloped away madly.

Soon, he returned with an elite team. "I can only mobilize this many people right now. The rest need to protect His Majesty and Their Highnesses."

"It's enough." Duan Yue nodded. "We'll stay to stop whatever is burrowing out from underneath. Have the others leave first with His Majesty."

As they spoke, the sound of horse hooves came from the distance.

Vassal Prince Rong squinted his eyes. "It seems to be those punks from the Nether Province."

"Never mind them." Duan Yue looked at him. "Just do as I said."

Vassal Prince Rong nodded and arranged for the others to leave with His Majesty. He then remained beside Duan Yue with the team of twenty plus people.

Duan Yue summoned a gleaming sword from his conscious pool.

"We haven't been able to properly compete! Today, let me show you the gap between us." Duan Yue glanced at him with a high-spirited snicker. He jumped up from the arctic ice wolf and pounced toward the vines that had tangled into a ball.

Vassal Prince Rong did not get angry and still kept calm. He nodded and said, "Okay, this humble one will wait and see."

*Swish!* An arrow shot over first, abruptly splintering the ball of vines.

Ming Asi's arrow was so fast! He seemed to have recovered compared to several days ago.

Duan Yue creased his brows. He didn't waste his breath talking and directly flung his sleeve, throwing several jade beads into an emerald-green bamboo tube.

Duan Yue's motto was to never waste a hint of divine energy when he could throw concealed weapons…

*Boom!!* The mystic horses neighed tragically from the Jade Heavenly Thunder's explosion, and the group behind Ming Asi instantly turned chaotic.

The Jade Heavenly Thunder had been flying toward him. He had felt his chest clench at that time, and he immediately ditched his arctic ice wolf mount, flying up into the air.

That arctic ice wolf subsequently took the brunt of the attack. It lay on the ground limply while heaving its last gasps. It was obviously not going to survive.

Ming Asi drifted to the ground and gritted his teeth while glowering at Duan Yue. This guy's treachery exceeded his expectations.

People from the Divine Province and the Ultramarine Province were both so black-bellied and devious.

Duan Yue did not look at him. He flung out his raven bone fan, chopping several vines.

This seemed to provoke the anger of the humongous creature beneath the ice.

Countless vines shot out again and lashed out at the people in front with insane speed.

How dare these insolent humans offend Lord Sacred Wood!?

See how I whip you people to death!

*Whip, whip!*

*Whip, whip, whip!*

All the vines immediately rushed over in Duan Yue's direction, with some even aimed at his chest.
