Bam!

 

Yan Bogong panicked at the incoming soul attack and put up his defenses, despite being a mere Profound Heaven cultivator with no chance against a Radiant Stage expert.

 

The intent left the two groaning.

 

Yan Bogong even flew away, leaving a trail of blood in the air. Lin Rufeng stopped dead in his tracks, trembling and rooted.

 

Rustle~

 

Three graceful figures floated between Grandmother and the lords, Drifting Flowers Edifices’ Venerables.

 

Looking back at the unconscious Grandmother, one shouted, “What are you waiting for? Get her out of here!”

 

“Understood!”

 

The overseers’ morale soared, flying away with Grandmother. They were at ease knowing the Venerables had their back.

 

The tide of people came to a halt as well.

 

“Humph, you lowlifes dare set your eyes on Drifting Flowers Edifices?” The Venerables faced the thousands with angry rebuke.

 

Yan Bogong barely stood his ground, pale and weary, yet not a trace of fear, “He-he-he, big words for just a bunch of broads. If not for the imperial family’s help in the past millennium, you’d never see today. Don’t think for a second that being in the Radiant Stage will change anything. Which of us houses doesn’t have its own Venerables? Now more than ever, when we have the great Regent Estate taking the lead!”

 

“Ha-ha-ha, we are the ones behind this siege!”

 

Laughter shook the area. To everyone’s shock, an astonishing power surged as a grizzled old man showed his face.

 

His eyes flashing like lightning, his face excited.

 

Each of his breath felt like the world was sucked away then unleashed back as a storm. 

 

The three Venerables squinted and shouted in shock, “Huangpu Fenglei!”

 

“My purpose here is to deal with you three!” His head held impossibly high, Huangpu Fenglei flicked his hand with disdain, “I am not one to pick on women, so I’ll take you all on.”

 

Twitching, the three turned grave.

 

Despite living in seclusion, they had all heard of Huangpu Fenglei’s name. He was a rare peak Radiant Stage expert in this world. The ones capable of fighting him in Tianyu could be counted on one hand.

 

Sure there were three of them, but the strongest was only in the 5th layer. It’d hardly make a difference. But as Drifting Flowers Edifices’ Venerables, having enjoyed its resources for decades, they weren’t about to flee in the face of danger.

 

They were women, but they were principled, even more so than some men.

 

With a deep breath to steady their nerves, one showed her will to fight or die trying, “Sisters, today’s the day we will fight for justice!”

 

“Ha-ha-ha, it won’t matter. We’ve lived together and we’ll die together. A fitting end for our hundred year friendship!” The two laughed.

 

The first smiled.

 

Having reached an understanding, all flew at the mighty Huangpu Fenglei with not one ounce of fear.

 

Huangpu Fenglei praised, “I’ve heard of Drifting Flowers Edifices’ women being staunch and now I see it for myself. You are far better than some male wolves drunk on power.”

 

Huangpu Fenglei continued, “I will give you three free shots at me before I attack, seeing as I’m so kind. Begin!”

 

“Humph, thank you for your consideration, sir. We’re happy to accept.”

 

Huangpu Fenglei was tough and the three were not fools. If the guy gave them three free moves, they weren’t about to refuse.

 

They had a non-zero chance, impossible odds true, but there was always the luck of the moment. The least they could manage was injure him, stopping him from breaking the array.

 

It would give some value to their deaths, knowing to have returned the kindness Drifting Flowers Edifices offered them for so long. With one less warrior on the enemy’s side, Drifting Flowers Edifices’ chances would rise.

 

The three turned solemn, each taking a direction and making a sign.

 

The wind picked up and the Yuan Qi surged. A white mist formed between the three, linking them and feeding off each other’s strengths, to their very peak of power.

 

An ice phoenix took form between them, three hundred meters large and shrieking.

 

Huangpu Fenglei’s brow shuddered, “Combination martial art? I never knew you’d be so in tune with each other, of the same heart and mind.”

 

“Humph, who needs your praise? You should take this instead!” The leader of the three scoffed and pushed out her palms. 

 

The other two matched her perfectly.

 

Shriek~

 

The ice phoenix unleashed its full killing intent on Huangpu Fenglei as it charged. All in its wake turned to ice, even air itself.

 

Yan Bogong cried out in shock.

 

Radiant Stage experts weren’t without their fame. While a combined attack from three went farther. Such an attack would wipe them out, peak Profound Heaven experts, along with half the people there.

 

Forget about fighting Drifting Flowers Edifices at this point. It was a miracle if the army stuck together.

 

Yan Bogong and Lin Rufeng exchanged a glance and cold sweat ran down their spines. Thank the maker they had Regent Estate on their side, with High Venerable’s personal interference.

 

The casualties would’ve been horrible without him.

 

[These broads sure are tough…]

 

Unlike everyone’s panicked look, Huangpu Fenglei praised and looked on with a calm expression.

 

When the ice phoenix got near him, he waved, “Humph, this skill sure is dangerous, but not to me.”

 

Huangpu Fenglei clutched the ice phoenix’s neck and squeezed.

 

With a bang, the phoenix crumbled into glittering ice.

 

Huangpu Fenglei grinned, “First!”

 

The ice fragments released an unbearable coldness, unleashing a frosty wave straight towards Huangpu Fenglei.

 

It swallowed him in its midst, leaving behind nothing, not even Huangpu Fenglei’s body, just a sparkling human-sized ice sculpture.

 

“High Venerable!” Everyone cried.

 

With Huangpu Fenglei getting done in from the three hag’s attack, how would the rest fare?

 

Amidst their anxiety and fear, cracking sounds revealed the breaking of the sculpture.

 

With a bang to finish, Huangpu Fenglei was revealed in all his glory with a manic laughter, “Who knew such an attack hid an even stronger one? Ha-ha-ha, how amazing. Not that it did any good to the likes of me.”

 

“High Venerable is invincible…” The crowd cheered.

 

Whooshes sounded as the three Venerables flashed right in Huangpu Fenglei’s face.

 

“Huangpu Fenglei, we knew this attack won’t work, so we prepared a little something.” The leader shouted.

 

The other two also yelled and their fingers formed a sword.

 

Profound ranked martial art, Dark Heaven Finger!

 

Huangpu Fenglei gave his all to resist this time around. But the ice and coldness from before had him slowed down.

 

Giving the three Venerables enough time for their sword fingers to hit his pressure points.

 

With the sound of freezing water, Huangpu Fenglei felt icy coldness invade his body and freeze his veins. He was shocked that Yuan Qi could hardly stop it.

 

[This can’t be!]

 

With his power, not even these three together could freeze him, yet now…

 

Huangpu Fenglei turned grave, and doubt sprouted. His fists clenched and body shuddered…

  1. I’m fairly certain ZF wouldn’t feed these ladies the worms, and he might not be willing to take them in as is. Grandma on another hand would probably live to see the Flower house dissolve in Luo clan.
