Murong Feng's expression turned frigid. He looked at Xu Luo as if staring at a dead man.
'That's right, this person before may have a noble identity, the son of the Grand General of National Guardian, even. But so what?'
'My master gave this life. Without my master, there would be no Murong Feng!'
'Never mind the son of the Grand General of National Guardian! Even if a Prince provoked my master, I would still tear him to shreds!'
Murong Feng's eyes grew progressively colder. The air around them seed to plumt in temperature. On the bustling Cyan Dragon Avenue, passersby gave the group a wide berth, unable to bear the tense atmosphere forming between the four of them.
Even so of the onlookers who had initially stopped to watch the commotion now backed away, their faces filled with fear.
A sneer appeared on Huangfu Haoyue's lips as he looked at Xu Luo. "Are you sure?"
"I an, why are you spouting so much nonsense? Are you sick in the head?"
Seeing that Xu Luo had no intention of backing down, Su Qianqian could no longer hold back. Staring with her gorgeous eyes, she began to taunt them, "Who do you think you are? Just standing there like a wooden post. Do we know you? Are we close? Are you guys nuts? If you're sick, you should go see a doctor! People say that only bad doggies block the road!"
Her scornful tone, paired with her sweet voice and her undeniably adorable face, sohow created an impression of a particularly charming and cute naivete.
But for Huangfu Haoyue, that wasn't the case at all. The calm expression on his face finally turned ugly, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. He couldn't believe such a beautiful and sweet-looking young woman could have such a venomous tongue. In his entire life, who had ever dared to speak to him like that?
Huangfu Haoyue laughed in fury. He glanced at the enraged Murong Feng beside him and said coolly, "Little Feng, make your move. Just don't kill him."
"Yes, sir!" A savage grin appeared on Murong Feng's cold face as he looked at Xu Luo. "Kid, you asked for this!"
When the crowd on Cyan Dragon Avenue saw a fight was about to break out, they scattered in a flash, moving far away. So of the bolder ones stood at a distance, watching the spectacle.
A few people of status, however, frowned as they watched the scene unfold.
"That young man in the yellow robe... why does he look so familiar?"
"Isn't that one of the Royal Family Descendants who's been around the Civilization Imperial Capital recently? I heard he's the son of the Prince of Ying City!"
"Who are that young man and woman opposing him? Do they have a death wish, clashing with Royal Family Descendants?"
"I don't recognize them, but from the looks of it, they don't seem to be ordinary people either..."
The people chattered amongst themselves, watching from afar. A few in the crowd quickly retreated even further back.
Xu Luo looked at Murong Feng and instantly activated Breaking Army Seven Kills. Executing the Shaking Light Step, he charged directly at him with incredible speed!
"Little Feng... watch out!" Huangfu Haoyue's pupils suddenly constricted. At the sa ti, his body transford into a streak of yellow light and shot directly toward Xu Luo!
Nearby, Su Qianqian let out a cold laugh and, in that sa instant... moved!
BOOM!
The massive explosion sent the surrounding crowd into a panic. The onlookers who thought they were watching from a safe distance now realized that so spectacles were not ant to be watched casually.
They were blasted in all directions by a powerful torrent of air, their eyes filled with terror.
As for Murong Feng, he had been sent flying by a single punch from Xu Luo. Like a kite with a snapped string, he flew dozens of ters before crashing hard onto the thousand-year-old stone pavent of Cyan Dragon Avenue, knocked unconscious on the spot!
The power of Xu Luo's punch was terrifying. The instant it made contact with Murong Feng's body, its speed surpassed the speed of sound!
By the ti people heard the thunderous boom, Murong Feng had already been sent flying!
anwhile, Su Qianqian blocked Huangfu Haoyue, extending a pair of soft, fair, jade-like hands and thrusting them toward his chest.
Huangfu Haoyue saw Murong Feng get blasted away and was already seething with rage. He no longer cared that he was facing a delicate, peerless beauty. He aid his iron fists directly at Su Qianqian's palms.
BANG!
Another explosive sound erupted.
A current of unbelievably terrifying energy, like a violent storm, blasted outward in all directions.
It slamd into the nearby shops, nearly causing them to collapse, and the people inside fled outwards in a panic.
Su Qianqian's body swayed slightly, while Huangfu Haoyue was forced back three or four steps. His face turned deathly pale, then flushed crimson. His eyes filled with utter disbelief as he stared at Su Qianqian.
"Who are you?" Huangfu Haoyue asked coldly, forcefully swallowing the mouthful of blood that was rising in his throat.
"None of your business!" Su Qianqian rolled her eyes and said, "If you're not that strong, you shouldn't be so arrogant. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a Sword King or sothing..."
"Sword King?" Huangfu Haoyue narrowed his eyes, studying Su Qianqian with suspicion and uncertainty.
'This girl is so young, yet she's even stronger than I am. Plus, she casually ntioned the na of a realm that ordinary people wouldn't even know. Could it be... she's a disciple from a major sect?' Huangfu Haoyue wondered, a complex light flickering in his eyes.
Huangfu Haoyue had been a proud person since childhood, and he had the capital to be proud. Whether in terms of intelligence or talent, he had shown himself to be extraordinary from a young age.
He was valued by his sect and accepted as a disciple. In just three months, he went from an Outer Sect Disciple to an Inner Sect Disciple. After another year, he was promoted to beco a Direct Disciple of the Sect Leader!
Until today, aside from the three or five monstrously talented young people in his sect, Huangfu Haoyue had never t anyone younger with more talent than him.
That is, until he t the young woman before him, and... the one he hadn't even given a second glance... Xu Luo.
As the most prosperous street in the Imperial Capital, the guard presence here was quite strong. In fact, the authorities had been alerted the mont the conflict began.
But they had exchanged blows so quickly that a victor was decided in a re instant.
So by the ti the City Guard Army parted the crowd and arrived on the scene, both sides had already stopped fighting.
Huangfu Haoyue was still staring at Su Qianqian with suspicion and uncertainty. Xu Luo, on the other hand, wore a blank expression, but his eyes held a hint of impatience.
'This Huangfu Haoyue is just absurd. I've never provoked him, and we've never had any interactions. Before Little Fatty ntioned him, I'd never even heard of such a person in the Royal Family...'
After a thousand years of history, the Royal Family had actually beco quite vast, its branches spreading out to beco top-tier nobles in various regions.
Countless people had the blood of the Royal Family flowing through their veins. There were bound to be so outstanding descendants among them, so how could Xu Luo possibly rember so many?
"What happened here?"
A young man who looked like a General strode over with a frown, simultaneously ordering soone to check on Murong Feng's injuries in the distance.
After the young General spoke and found that neither side was paying him any attention, he took a closer look at them. When his gaze swept over Huangfu Haoyue, he was first taken aback, then asked respectfully in a sowhat fawning tone, "Might you be... Young Master Hao Yue?"
"You recognize ?" Huangfu Haoyue glanced at the young General, his tone indifferent, his face arrogant.
The young General chuckled. "Young Master Hao Yue has beco so famous in the Imperial Capital recently, it would be hard not to recognize you."
Under normal circumstances, Huangfu Haoyue might have felt a little smug at those words. 'Even though I haven't been in the Imperial Capital for long, I've already made a big na for myself...'
But now, with his follower just beaten half to death and having suffered a small loss at the hands of a young woman himself, if not for the fawning sincerity in the young General's eyes, Huangfu Haoyue would have certainly thought he was being mocked.
"So famous, heh heh." Su Qianqian wore a teasing expression. "I think you an infamous!"
"Who do you think you are! Don't you want to..." the young General began to reprimand her coldly, but then he realized the speaker was an exceptionally beautiful young woman and swallowed the rest of his words. Then, his gaze fell on Xu Luo, and the young General frowned slightly. He felt that the young man before him looked sowhat familiar, but he couldn't place him.
'I wouldn't say I know every scion from the great families of the Imperial Capital, but I know at least half of them, and this person isn't one of them...' the young General thought to himself. His eyes gradually grew stern.
"Who are you people? How dare you disturb a mber of the Royal Family in the middle of the street? Do you think the laws of the Empire don't exist?" the young General's voice was extrely severe, and he seed to carry an air of righteousness.
In that mont, even he himself believed that his blatant favoritism toward Huangfu Haoyue was a righteous act.
If everyone in the Empire dared to provoke the Royal Family Descendants, where would the dignity of the Royal Family be?
"You're accusing us without even asking what happened?" Su Qianqian stared at the young General as if he were an idiot.
Under the gaze of Su Qianqian's clear and stunningly beautiful eyes, the young General's resolve did waver for an instant.
But then he thought of Huangfu Haoyue's status and his legendary strength. The young General gritted his teeth and said coldly, "I saw what happened clearly enough. Is there anything else to say? You assaulted a mber of the Royal Family in the street and damaged a large amount of property..."
With that, the young General waved his hand and barked, "n, seize them and take them away!"
Beside him, a sneer touched Huangfu Haoyue's lips. He watched Xu Luo and Su Qianqian as if enjoying a show, but a crazed killing intent flickered in his eyes!
Of course, he didn't think Xu Luo and Su Qianqian would allow themselves to be captured ekly. But wasn't that exactly what he wanted to see?
"If you truly don't know what's good for you, then by all ans, try to resist..." Huangfu Haoyue said coolly, a cold smile on his face as he looked at Xu Luo and his companion.
"Are you sure the ones who don't know what's good for them... are us?" Xu Luo glanced at Huangfu Haoyue with a ghost of a smile. "And not you?"
