When Mu Yunxi's voice dissipated in the sky above the basin, the residual force of the exploding water dragon also vanished, and long ago there was no trace of Mu Yunxi on the carriage.
At this mont, Li Qianrou's face was as cold as frost, Sword Qi flickering incessantly around her. Soon, the carriage was completely destroyed by those Sword Qi.
Obviously, Li Qianrou was furious because of Mu Yunxi's escape.
She had long been aware that the alliance between them was unreliable, but she hadn't expected Mu Yunxi to flee at this ti.
After all, Mu Yunxi was a powerhouse of the Genesis Realm, yet she had such little courage.
If that woman was of no use, then she would have to rely on herself.
Although Lu Chen was very strong, in her world, there was no such word as "fear." She did not believe that she had no way to deal with Lu Chen.
Just then, Lu Chen spoke, "Yue Emperor, now that Junwan has beco my woman and you and Junwan are good friends, there really is no need for us to cross swords."
Upon hearing these words, the Yue Emperor snorted coldly and then said, "What, you want to include in your harem as well?"
"Ridiculous!"
Not to ntion she detested n the most, even if she didn't, she would never compete with her own sister for a man's favor.
In her eyes, Lu Chen was nothing more than Wu Junwan's paramour.
Hearing the Yue Emperor's icy tone, Lu Chen said with a smile, "If the Yue Emperor is willing, it is not impossible."
Li Qianrou sneered and said, "If you want to beco your woman, you'll have to see if you have the strength for that."
As she spoke, Sword Qi around Li Qianrou's body gathered together to form a huge tornado.
Imdiately after, the tornado surged towards Lu Chen who promptly raised the Slayer Spear and aid it at the tornado. With a single thrust, the Sword Qi tornado containing destructive power disappeared without a trace.
However, Lu Chen did not imdiately attack; he only needed to defend passively until Li Qianrou admitted defeat.
Although Li Qianrou was strong, in the absence of a battle formation, her personal strength alone was not enough to contend with Lu Chen and the two Celestials standing behind him.
Li Qianrou did not give up after her first attack was interrupted; she drew her Spirit Sword and this ti directly unleashed the destructive Sword Intent.
Originally, she had not intended to use Sword Intent. She was unsure whether Lu Chen could withstand her Sword Intent; if Lu Chen were to be injured, she might not be able to explain herself to her good sister later.
But not using Sword Intent was no longer an option. If she didn't use it, she would likely not be a match for Lu Chen, especially considering the enormous power of the Spiritual Artifact in his hand.
In fact, Li Qianrou had also noticed that although Lu Chen possessed such a powerful Spiritual Artifact, he had not launched an offensive move; he had always been in a defensive state.
This indicated that Lu Chen was holding back, probably sharing the sa thought as hers, but even if both did not wish to harm the other's life, a victor still needed to be decided.
As the purple Sword Qi imbued with destructive Sword Intent neared Lu Chen, he once again raised the Slayer Spear, and with another thrust, the destructive Sword Intent dissipated.
Seeing this scene, Li Qianrou's brows furrowed slightly; she felt sowhat astonished. If even the Sword Intent could be easily destroyed, then that Spiritual Artifact was indeed extraordinary. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
The crux of the matter was that Lu Chen had two Celestials constantly replenishing his Spiritual Energy from behind. In such a situation, Lu Chen could use that Spiritual Artifact multiple tis.
Yet even so, Li Qiangrou still did not give up. She once again employed the destructive Sword Intent and launched another attack, followed by ten successive assaults, all of which were blocked by Lu Chen.
At this point, Li Qiangrou's body had clearly beco weak, and her icy cheeks had turned even paler. It was evident her body had expended a great deal of Spiritual Energy and was struggling to hold up.
Just after Li Qiangrou utilized the destructive Sword Intent again, her body reached its limit. She instantly fell to her knees, then, using her sword to prop herself up, displayed imnse frailty.
In the past, even in the Misty World, she had rarely encountered a battle of this magnitude. Although Lu Chen was constantly on the defense, and she incessantly on the offense, it was she who ended up wounded and weakened.
If this continued, Lu Chen would have no trouble capturing her when he wished, and she would have no choice but to surrender.
Her pride would not allow her to beco this man's prisoner.
It was at that mont that Sword Qi once again gathered around Li Qiangrou's body. Lu Chen originally thought she would resu her attacks, but he quickly sensed sothing amiss. Li Qiangrou's Sword Qi was only converging around herself, with no intention of being released.
Lu Chen imdiately understood, and he hastened to say, "Don't do anything foolish, Junwan is still waiting to see you. If sothing happens to you, how is she supposed to go on?"
Li Qiangrou let out a light chuckle, then said, "Are you trying to use Junwan to threaten Your Majesty?"
"Junwan knows what kind of person Your Majesty is. She has long foreseen the choices Your Majesty would make!"
"Go back and tell her that we cannot be sisters in this life. In the next, we shall be friends."
As she spoke, the Sword Qi around Li Qiangrou grew increasingly violent. She continued, "Since Junwan trusts you so much, Your Majesty believes you will always treat her well. She is in your care now!"
With that, Li Qiangrou prepared to commit suicide.
However, in the next instant, a figure suddenly appeared behind Li Qiangrou, embracing her body directly, and the next mont, all the Spiritual Energy within her was sealed, and she lost all her strength.
Li Qiangrou was stunned and after recovering her senses, she fiercely exclaid, "How dare you!"
But Lu Chen paid no heed to Li Qiangrou. Li Qiangrou imdiately began to struggle, trying to break free from Lu Chen's grasp.
No matter how Li Qiangrou struggled, she could not escape Lu Chen's arms. Lu Chen firmly held her arms, and with her Spiritual Power sealed, all her efforts to struggle were futile.
Lu Chen then said, "Your Majesty promised Junwan that no matter what happens, I would ensure your survival. So if you wish to commit suicide, it will have to be with Your Majesty's consent."
The Yue Emperor let out a scoff and said, "Ridiculous. Your Majesty can commit suicide at any ti, and I don't believe you can watch over Your Majesty forever."
Li Qiangrou's thinking was simple; Lu Chen, after all, was a sovereign of a nation. How could he possibly keep her under watch forever? As soon as Lu Chen released her, she would have a chance to end her life.
She would absolutely not beco this man's captive, let alone his woman.
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled faintly and then said, "You know what, Your Majesty is right. I really can keep an eye on you indefinitely."
With that, Lu Chen turned to the soldiers of Great Jue and said, "The Yue Emperor has been captured alive by Your Majesty, and Great Jue has been defeated. Those who wish to live, lay down your weapons imdiately, and in a few days, Your Majesty will accept you, under the title of Imperial Noble Consort. Your Majesty promises, as long as you lay down your arms and do not resist, there will be no indiscriminate killing of the innocent."
