Chapter 1596: Chapter 55: Royal Strife
The Bat King was killed by a Red Crystal Dagger.
Of course, the material composing this Red Crystal Dagger wasn’t just ordinary red crystal, but precious Crimson Ore.
This indicates that the dagger is quite a noble weapon.
Lin Yifan speculated that this was a High Celestial weapon; otherwise, it wouldn’t possess such powerful strength to instantly kill the Bat King of the Superior Immortal Fourth Realm.
After killing the Bat King, the disguised woman imdiately used the Red Crystal Dagger to take the spiritual orb off the Bat King’s head.
The mont Lin Yifan saw the true form of this soil-yellow spiritual orb, he was shocked. It was precisely the Female Earth Bead he had been searching for, unexpectedly encountered here.
The Female Earth Bead is one of the Northern Seven Lodges. By obtaining the Female Earth Bead, he could set up a pseudo five-elent formation.
The five-elent formation is quite a powerful array. Possessing it, his strength would be elevated by a level, at least gaining an additional trump card.
He really wanted to seize it, but relying on his strength alone, it was difficult to deal with a female cultivator possessing high celestial magic artifacts and not of a low realm.
Helplessly, he could only track them secretly, waiting for an opportunity to act.
After obtaining the Female Earth Bead, the disguised woman then gathered her team and prepared to return to the sect.
Not long after, they encountered another team dressed in white.
This team was also wearing veils and identical clothes, and they were all female cultivators.
This naturally suggested a relation between them. What exactly the relation was, Lin Yifan couldn’t tell, perhaps they were from the sa school or disciples of the sa academy.
“Su Xinting, you’re heading back, so I assu you’ve already obtained the Female Earth Bead. If so, then obediently hand over the Female Earth Bead.”
The leader of the newly erged white-clad cultivators said unceremoniously to the veiled woman who obtained the Female Earth Bead.
“Third Sister, this Female Earth Bead is not my personal possession; I am to present it to the Empress Mother, so please conduct yourself accordingly,” Su Xinting refused.
“Right, we are all daughters of the Empress Mother, why can’t you just do Third Sister a favor? Unless you’re truly eyeing that throne?”
“This was obtained through my hard work; why should I do you a favor?”
Su Xinting was a bit angry. This half-sister of hers was too unreasonable.
“I know, how about this, I’ll give you two Eight Trigrams Spiritual Beads of the Superior Immortal Realm?”
“Hmph! Even eight Eight Trigrams Spiritual Beads of the Superior Immortal Realm wouldn’t compare to a single Constellation Bead of the Superior Immortal Realm, so stop wasting your breath here.”
“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to resort to force.”
With those words, Su Xinting’s third sister, Su Jianping, imdiately drew her sword and attacked.
Su Xinting didn’t waste words either and drew her sword to engage in battle.
As they began, the royal guards on both sides also started to fight.
This was the scene Lin Yifan wanted to see.
Sa country, sa royal family, two sisters from the sa mother vying against each other; it was bound to be intense.
“Bang bang bang!”
Su Jianping struck lethally with her sword, each strike was heavy-handed.
However, Su Xinting was not far behind. She and her third sister were of the sa realm and even shared the sa martial arts; thus, victory was hard to determine.
This indicated that the younger sister Su Xinting had a slightly better aptitude; otherwise, her realm wouldn’t be the sa as her sister Su Jianping’s.
It was no wonder Su Jianping saw Su Xinting as a thorn in her side. Such an excellent competitor easily won the favor of ministers and the Empress Mother.
This was a battle for the throne, a struggle of destiny. If Su Xinting won, it would be better; if the factional Su Jianping won, then Sister Su Xinting would mysteriously disappear from this world.
This “mysteriously” ans not knowing why she died or why she disappeared.
Su Jianping knew she couldn’t defeat her seventh sister with martial arts alone, so she used a high celestial weapon to ambush Su Xinting.
Su Xinting, surprised, imdiately dodged.
She hadn’t expected her third sister to really bring out the killer moves; it seems today it was either you or .
If so, then she wouldn’t be polite anymore, so she deployed the Red Crystal Dagger to battle Su Jianping.
“Bang bang bang!”
The aggressive clashing of high celestial weapons sent waves of energy not to be trifled with, impacting the guards within dozens of ters with varying degrees of impact.
The closest ones even suffered internal injuries.
To avoid innocent casualties, the surrounding royal guards quickly shifted the battleground, distancing themselves from these two fiercely battling princesses.
Lin Yifan also retreated quite a bit, as he was too close to the battleground and could easily be spotted; thus, he had to do so.
The two high celestial weapons clashed fiercely, but eventually, Su Jianping’s high celestial weapon proved superior, injuring Su Xinting.
Su Jianping seized the opportunity to severely wound Su Xinting.
Lin Yifan hadn’t expected the situation to turn out this way.
Su Xinting lost too quickly, too without value, barely injuring her sister, leaving Lin Yifan wondering how he could reap the benefits.
“Sigh!”
Lin Yifan sighed deeply, racking his brain without finding a way to profit.
“Hmph! You wretched girl, do you have anything else to say?”
Su Jianping pointed her sword at Su Xinting, arrogantly inquiring.
“It’s rely a victory with the aid of a high celestial magic artifact; what’s there to be glorious or proud of?”
“The victor is the king, the defeated is the criminal; all I know is I have won now, it’s that simple.”
“Your shalessness knows no bounds.”
Su Xinting was extrely disdainful, unwilling to agree with such a notion.
“Say what you want; anyway, today’s your death day!”
Su Jianping remained indifferent, as the mocking of a soon-to-die person was aningless.
“Aren’t you afraid the Empress Mother will know if you kill ?” Su Xinting inquired.
“Afraid? Hahaha? You think I would be afraid? Everyone knows that between you and , only one can ascend the Phoenix Throne, so even if the Empress Mother knows, she won’t kill , as she must consider the excellent Phoenix Bloodline’s inheritance.”
“Hmph! You’re truly vicious.”
“All thanks to you. If you weren’t so uncontrolled, I wouldn’t be driven to such a desperate asure.”
“A weakling is forever a weakling; even if using underhanded tricks to ascend the throne, one remains a weakling!”
“Hmph! Provocation tactics won’t work; a king is always ruthless and unreasonable.”
With those words, Su Jianping swung her sword down, intending to end the life of this half-sister.
At the sa mont, a hidden weapon shot swiftly from the forest, striking Su Jianping’s sword with a “clang.”
Instantly, Su Jianping’s attack was nullified.
Holding her sword, Su Jianping scanned the surroundings, asking, “Who? Who on earth intervened?”
The strength matched her own, indicating that soone with a power equal to hers was nearby.
This wasn’t good news; it ant a third-party force might join the battle, contending for the Female Earth Bead.
