Chapter 1252 - 1249: Testing the Waters, Back to Azure Sky City!

"Shooting Stars Thousand Miles Bullet!"

With a cold shout, the young spear-wielder stomped in the void, causing the space to tremble slightly. Man and spear became one, thrusting a single spear forward.

Boom!

A thunderous roar erupted in the sky, the young spear-wielder’s blood-red True Yuan surging, ignoring the distance of dozens of meters, as the spear tip instantly reached Luo Feng.

From afar, it looked like a comet’s trajectory appeared on the horizon, dazzling like fireworks, with an unstoppable imposing momentum.

Luo Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, with no intention of drawing his saber. The scorching flames twisted, and he met the attack with a punch.

Boom!

The flames exploded, the entire space trembling violently like the surface of a rippling lake. Luo Feng took a step back, causing the air to burst.

The young spear-wielder fared worse, unable to stabilize his body, he skidded back over a hundred meters in the air before stopping.

"Good!"

Stopping his movement, the young spear-wielder laughed excitedly, standing in a bow stance, sinking his center of gravity.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of breaking through the air echoed, and four short spears shot out from behind him, hovering in the void.

Tiny blue arcs of electricity swam on the four short spears, growing larger, and in no time, the entire sky was filled with thunder and lightning. The mighty True Yuan waves spread out like ocean waves.

Raising his gaze, the young spear-wielder’s bright eyes pierced towards Luo Feng, his long spear pointed forward with menacing thunderbolts.

"Chaos Sky Four Thunder Style!"

Crack!

The thunder exploded, the sky brightening for an instant, as the four short spears vanished into thin air. When they reappeared, they were above Luo Feng’s head, fiercely crashing down with a terrifying momentum, causing the ground below to crack inch by inch.

Luo Feng’s eyebrows twitched, "What a fierce spear technique, this person’s strength might even surpass Jian Wuji!"

Hundreds of meters away, Elder Hai watched this scene in shock.

Even from such a distance, his hair stood on end.

He knew very well that facing this strike, he could not resist at all, without the slightest chance of surviving even if he tried his hardest. Precisely because of this, he admired Luo Feng, who could force back the young spear-wielder.

"Autumn Rain Soul Disconnecting Saber!"

Without hesitation, Luo Feng drew the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber and slashed out.

Roar!

A faint dragon’s roar echoed in the void, as a dragon-shaped Qi Force composed of endless Saber Energy surrounded Luo Feng, spiraling upwards.

Boom!

The four short spears collided with the Saber Energy, sparking fiercely, with layers of shockwaves spreading out.

Immediately, the nearby mountains began to collapse, crisscrossing with large cracks that extended far, turning the surrounding kilometer into ruins.

Jiang Fengfeng had already prepared, her delicate fingers pointing in the air, where a Sword Qi flower bloomed at her fingertip, quickly rotating to block the spreading shockwaves. She and Elder Hai remained unscathed.

Bang!

Finally, both the dragon-shaped Qi Force and the myriad electric arcs collapsed. The four short spears shot back, slotting into the young spear-wielder’s quiver with tremendous force, causing him to retreat dozens of steps.

Luo Feng looked at the young spear-wielder, coldly saying, "It seems you’ve come specifically for me. Who are you? If you don’t explain, I can’t guarantee you’ll survive."

Phew...

Exhaling a breath of foul air, the young spear-wielder parted his hands, breaking the long spear into three sections and placing them back in the quiver. He looked up at Luo Feng and smiled:

"Luo Feng, you are a worthy opponent. We will meet again soon. Until next time!"

With that, the young spear-wielder spread his figure, utilizing Qinggong, shooting off into the distance, but not in the direction of Panlong City.

Luo Feng watched the young spear-wielder’s retreating figure, sheathing his saber.

Jiang Fengfeng and the sea wave appeared beside Luo Feng. Jiang Fengfeng asked, "Not going to chase?"

Elder Hai added, "Could he be from the Crown Prince’s mansion?"

Luo Feng shook his head, "Probably not. I didn’t sense any killing intent from him. Besides, from the start, he was just testing me."

Probing...

Elder Hai glanced at the ruined mountains below, taking a deep breath: Is this the power of a battle between geniuses? Even probing holds such tremendous force.

"Do you know him?" Jiang Fengfeng asked.

"Today is the first time we’ve met." Luo Feng shook his head.

Jiang Fengfeng pursed her red lips, "That’s strange then, he seems to know you and is very interested in you."

Luo Feng did not reply. In fact, he had a person in mind, but he couldn’t be sure yet.

"He should have nothing to do with the Crown Prince. Let’s go, we should get to Azure Sky City as soon as possible."

Without waiting for the two to speak again, Luo Feng used the Sky Cloud Step and flew out swiftly.

Jiang Fengfeng and Elder Hai followed closely behind.

On the way, Luo Feng practiced the Divine Dragon Nine Changes diligently every day, perhaps because his Cloud Dragon Transformation had improved, the speed of condensing Yuan Qi was fast, and his True Yuan was improving daily. It seemed that it wouldn’t be long before he could break through to the mid-stage of the third level of the True Yuan Realm.

Besides the Divine Dragon Nine Changes, Luo Feng worked especially hard on the first three forms of the Four Symbols Ultimate Saber.

Jiang Fengfeng’s words had greatly impacted him; since the hope of finding the remnant of the fourth form of the saber technique was slim, it was better to comprehend it himself.

Doing this, though extremely difficult, Luo Feng believed that with his insight, there was a great hope of success.

Only by understanding the fourth form of the saber technique would the Four Symbols Ultimate Saber truly be an advanced-level Earth-grade saber technique.

Two more days passed, and on the third afternoon, the three of them finally arrived at Azure Sky City.

Under the slanting sun, Azure Sky City, surrounded by mountains and waters, was shrouded in a faint mist, appearing beautifully mysterious.

In front of the massive city gate, martial artists with swords and blades came and went in a hurry, only occasionally did a caravan pass by, lacking the prosperity of the past.

Luo Feng saw from afar a few rows of guards in blue armor standing in front of the city gate, each full of vigor, with sharp glints occasionally flashing in their eyes, scanning the people entering and exiting the city, often stopping people for questioning, appearing extremely vigilant.

Perceiving this, Luo Feng found that there were even True Yuan Realm martial artists among the guards. He couldn’t help but say, "Such strict defense, there seem to be many more guards than before."

Elder Hai nodded, "They are all people from the Crown Prince’s residence. Since the King’s demise, the entire Azure Sky City has been on strict lockdown. When I left the city, I disguised myself to hide my identity. But I didn’t expect that I had already been discovered."

Saying this, Elder Hai shook his head mockingly, then suddenly said to Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng:

"You are now the greatest asset of the second prince’s residence, it is best not to reveal your identities. Luo Feng, many people in Azure Sky City know you from your deathmatch with Yi Tian, you should disguise yourself."

"What about you?" Luo Feng asked.

Elder Hai smiled, "Someone has to lead you inside."

"Alright then."

Luo Feng nodded, took out a black mask and put it on, then stored the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber into the storage ring, restrained his aura, and his demeanor immediately changed, resembling an ordinary young martial artist.

Azure Sky City is the Imperial City, the sky is protected by a formation, and no one is allowed to fly into the city; trying to sneak in is no easy task.

As for Jiang Fengfeng, no one knew her, so there was no need for such measures.

While speaking, the three of them, along with the crowd, arrived in front of the city gate, Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng followed Elder Hai towards the city.

Seeing Elder Hai, the nearby guards looked somewhat shocked, exchanged glances, hesitated, and did not stop them.

Clang!

Suddenly, a guard drew his sword and blocked Luo Feng, shouting, "Who are you, take off your mask!"

"How dare you!"

Elder Hai’s face darkened, and he turned back with a stern voice, "They are people wanted by the second prince, if you stop them, are you trying to go against the second prince?"

"Your subordinate does not dare. But now, as the King has passed, during the mourning period, the Crown Prince has ordered a full alert to prevent evildoers from entering Azure Sky City. You, quickly remove your mask!"

This guard invoked the Crown Prince’s name, hoping to intimidate Luo Feng, his gaze like lightning.

Luo Feng remained unmoved.

Bang!

Suddenly, Qi Force surged, the guard blocking Luo Feng let out a miserable scream, spewed blood, and was sent flying, crashing into the ground leaving a deep pit, his life or death uncertain.

Elder Hai waved his hand, his gaze swept over the guard on the ground, and he said calmly, "Are you questioning my judgment? We’re going in, let’s see who dares to stop us!"

Saying this, Elder Hai led Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng into the city.

The other guards nearby looked at each other, wanting to stop them but after glancing at their companion on the ground, whose life and death were uncertain, none dared to move.

What a joke, the strongest among them was only at mid-stage of the first level of the True Yuan Realm; stopping them would be courting death.

"I never thought he could return alive to Azure Sky City..."

Watching the backs of Elder Hai and the three, the captain of the guards frowned slightly and instructed with a calm face:

"Leave this place to you, I’m going to pay a visit to the Crown Prince’s residence!"

(It’s my birthday today, and there are a lot of things going on, so I can only update one Chapter. I will make up for the second Chapter tomorrow.)
