Gate of God

Creak…

Cracks appeared on the ground and the dust that was buried for centuries under the ground of throne room instantly erupted across the room. In the blink of an eye. The enter throne room was covered in a layer of fine white dust.

This scene undoubtedly came as a shock to both eh black figures and Crown Prince Lin Tianrong.

It happened too fast!

So fast that they did not have the time to react.

“Who is it?” The twenty black figures had the same question in their minds. They then focused their gaze on a blurred figure amongst the dust.

A few moments later, the dust settled.

A giant crater also appeared on the ground of the throne room.

Within the crater, the phoenix lay flat on the ground, quivering and convulsing in pain as it whimpered.

There was also a figure standing on top of the Flaming Phoenix.

She was clad in a sky-blue battle dress decorated with intricate white lotus embroidery. Her black hair extended all the way to her waist like morning dews on a leaf. There was also a flower hairpin keeping her hair in place, giving her that elegant presence.

“I wonder if it will be enough if I join in the fight?” A faint and gentle voice appeared from the dust. There was no arrogance to that voice.

She simply stared at the Flaming Phoenix silently as she stood motionless with grace. She was barehanded and her hair was slightly damp.

However, the sight of her was enough to make Crown Prince Lin Tianrong and the twenty black figure retreat subconsciously.

That was because…

She was Chen Feihua.

The commander of the royal guards of the Great Xia Dynasty, also known as Hua Fei, number 17th on the Holy Rankings.

“Hua Fei!” Lin Tianrong immediately stopped his insane laughter as he stared at the Flaming Phoenix under Chen Feihua’s feet. He then felt a shiver down his spine.

Number 17th on the Holy Rankings.

This was merely just a ranking board. However, the true meaning and accolade of this ranking was something one should never ignore.

“I have long heard about the prowess of Chen Feihua, the number one concubine of the Great Xia Dynasty. She indeed lives up to her reputation!” Qian Wu’s gaze was also glued onto the whimpering Flaming Phoenix that was under her feet.

However, his gaze was different from that of Crown Prince Lin Tianrong.

Lin Tianrong’s gaze was one of awe, shock, and fear. However, Qian Yu’s gaze was one of excitement and happiness. His eagle-like eyes were flashing with brilliance.

“Are you the one who injured the Emperor?” Chen Feihua said with an expressionless face. She then lifted her leg slowly before thrusting it down with full force.

A snapping sound could be heard.

The whimpering sounds from the Flaming Phoenix immediately stopped. Its giant head was completely crushed, splattering blood and ashes all over the ground of the throne room.

However, Chen Feihua’s dress was still completely clean. She still looked as fresh as a lotus who managed to bloom from a patch of marshland, completely untainted by her tardy surroundings.

“That’s right. It was me!” Qian Wu said as he squinted his eyes.

The Flaming Phoenix was not a beast that was exceptionally strong. However, it was extremely agile and could be considered a rare creature.

However…

It was destroyed by Chen Feihua in a single blow.

It was impossible to stay completely calm after that. However, Qian Wu managed to keep his anger under control. He did not even take another look at the Flaming Phoenix.

“I understand.” Chen Feihua nodded her head. She then acted swiftly.

She charged towards Qian Wu without any further fanciful display of prowess. She was bathed in a golden brilliance which complemented her blue dress. It was a gorgeous scene.

“Don’t you dare hurt the master!” The black figures immediately released their powers upon seeing this scene, charging straight towards Chen Feihua.

Boom!

At that moment, the golden brilliance exploded.

A golden aura then spread across the throne room. It seemed like a layer of golden mist, completely enveloping the room.

Chen Feihua, on the other hand, disappeared after that explosion.

“Hm?” The twenty black figures stared at the golden mist that suddenly appeared in the throne room. They then realized that Chen Feihua had disappeared without a trace, causing them to be stunned for a moment.

However, they all reacted immediately.

They increased the intensity of the brightness surrounding them and covered their entire body in their brilliance. They looked as if they were protected by that veil of light.

Following which, a sound similar to that of glass breaking echoed through the room.

The twenty black figures then trembled slightly and looked in unison in the direction of the sound. Their eyes then widened at that sight.

This was because just a few feet away, a golden figure had emerged.

There was also a black figure standing beside her with an expression of horror on his face. The brilliance that was originally surrounding him was already broken.

The object that destroyed that brilliance was naturally a fist.

Boom!

After the fist destroyed the veil of light, it went straight for the heart of the black figure, piercing right through the chest of the black figure without hesitation. There was no fancy display of prowess as usual.

The black figure’s eyes widened in fear.

He lowered his head as he stared at the woman in front of him. A long lock of elegant black hair fluttered behind her back and expressionless face.

She looked as calm as still water.

There was no murderous intent in her eyes. However, her fist destroyed his protection veil immediately and even crushed his heart.

“You… so strong…” The black figure twitched uncontrollably as blood poured out from his mouth. He could not believe that this was how he would die.

However, the moment his heart was destroyed, he knew that he was already dead. Furthermore, he died when he was incapable of offering resistance.

Number 17th on the Holy Rankings!

Was this the true strength of someone who was number 17th on the Holy Rankings?

Why would there be such a huge difference in strength?

The black figure wanted to understand this difference in strength. However, he could no longer speak as he felt the fist that pierced straight into his heart being removed from his body.

Following which, his body could no longer support his weight and he collapsed powerlessly onto the floor.

“This…” The twenty black figures stared at Chen Feihua with unmoving eyes. They stared at the elegant figure clad in a blue dress and the golden brilliance surrounding her.

They were truly startled by what just happened.

One blow!

They were both Rebirth State Individuals. However, Chen Feihua merely needed one blow to defeat them. What’s with this difference in strength?

“Pinnacle of the Rebirth State!”

“She is truly at the pinnacle of the Rebirth State!”

“Number 17th on the Holy Rankings!”

The twenty black figures did not retreat. However, the expression on their faces became extremely serious as they observed Chen Feihua closely.

That glamorous appearance and refined temperament.

Managed to strike fear into the depths of their hearts nonetheless.

“Incredible, you did not let me down!” Qian Wu stared at Chen Feihua, who was standing within the golden mist, with a grin on his face.

“What should we do now?” Lin Tianrong said in desperation after listening to Qian Wu as he trembled in fear. He knew exactly how strong Chen Feihua was.

One Chen Feihua could definitely go against at least ten other Rebirth State Individuals.

However, Qian Wu was saying that she did not let him down?

Was this a game?

No!

This was a fight for the throne, a sin that was rightfully called usurping the throne. If he failed, it would represent the loss of everything. Everything that he had done up till now would turn into nothingness.

“Relax, it is just a woman!” Qian Wu did not even look at Lin Tianrong. He merely answered casually.

“Woman? Don’t you know…”

“Leave it up to me!” Qian Wu interrupted Lin Tianrong with an impatient expression on his face, dismissing his opinions with a wave of his hand.

Lin Tianrong’s face immediately sunk.

As the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, heir to the throne and future Emperor, he did not like to be ignored, especially by a prince from the Northern Barbarian Empire.

The Noblelite from the South had made such an expression in front of his face as well during the battle of the Southern Mountain Range.

Following which, the Noblelite of the Southern Region was killed, right under the blade of his sword. However, now that Qian Wu made such an expression, he was unable to do anything.

This was because Qian Wu was not Shan Ling, the Noblelite of the Southern Region.

“Hua er!” At that moment, Lin Mubai’s voice echoed through the room. He stared at Chen Feihua, who was standing in the mist and shouted with apprehension.

“Your Majesty, I am late!” Chen Feihua immediately walked towards Lin Mubai upon hearing his voice. She completely ignored the black figures around her.

She went straight towards Lin Mubai.

She didn’t walk very fast. However, none of the black figures dared to stand in her way.

She then reached Lin Mubai’s side after a while.

At the same time, the golden mist within the throne room dissipated, as though it had never appeared. It seemed bizarre.

“Hua er, why did you come? Didn’t I tell you to…” Lin Mubai stared at Chen Feihua, who had arrived right in front of his eyes and greeted her immediately.

“I was just passing by and came in after hearing some noises from the throne room.” Chen Feihua answered calmly.

“So Hua er was just passing by.” Lin Mubai nodded after hearing the reply and did not question her further.

“Just passing by?” Lin Tianrong’s lips moved ever so slightly.

He was not an idiot. Chen Feihua could not have just passed by. However, this only meant one thing.

That would mean Chen Feihua’s appearance was not part of Lin Mubai’s plan.

suggesting that Chen Feihua was alone. There would be no further backups from the royal guards behind her.

“Yes, I have also brought a few people along.” Chen Feihua added. She then turned her body and cast her glance back onto Qian Wu, Lin Tianrong as well as the twenty black figures.

“You brought people? Hua Fei, you…” Lin Tianrong stammered upon hearing Chen Feihua’s words. He immediately turned pale.

At the same time, unison footsteps sounds could be heard from the entrance to the throne room. After which, rows of soldiers clad in golden armor rushed in.

Each of them was holding a shining spear in their hands.

The royal guards!

Thousands of them!

As Lin Tianrong stared at the royal guards who appeared out of nowhere, he subconsciously moved closer towards Qian Wu, his eyes filled with terror.

The twenty black figures also had a horrified expression on his face.

Chen Feihua alone was not that terrifying. However, a thousand-strong army of royal guards was definitely a force to be reckoned with.

Just passing by?

Together with a thousand over royal guards?

Furthermore, why would a thousand royal guards be stationed outside the throne room? Weren’t all the royal guards on duty poisoned?

Unless…

All these royal guards were not on duty!

“Crown Prince, please stand back.” Qian Wu’s voice rang across the throne room. He acted as though he did not see the royal guards at all. There was no anxiety in his voice.

“What do you mean? Are you truly planning…” Lin Tianrong was just about to say something when he saw Qian Wu walking towards Lin Mubai and Chen Feihua.

“Qian Wu of the Holy Barbarian Empire pays respect to Hua Fei of the Great Xia Dynasty!” Qian Wu stopped after five steps and greeted Lin Mubai and Chen Feihua respectfully.

This action startled the Dragon Protection Squad and the royal guards who had just entered the throne room. This was because they could not understand what Qian Wu was thinking.

Shouldn’t he be escaping?

Dragon Protection Squad, the royal guards, coupled with Hua Fei was more than enough to deal with the three beasts and twenty Rebirth State individuals he had. Victory was theirs to claim.

However, Qian Wu did not have the intention to leave. Conversely, he was issuing a challenge, to Hua Fei nonetheless! The person ranked number 17th on the Holy Rankings, Hua Fei.

Chen Feihua did not react. She merely stared at Lin Mubai as though waiting for his approval.

“What does Hua er wants to do?” Lin Mubai stared at Chen Feihua’s eyes before staring at Qian Wu. A hint of hesitation flickered through his eyes.

“The Great Xia Dynasty has always ruled with decorum and etiquette. Since Qian Wu has issued an official challenge, I request that your Majesty command me to take the required actions.” Chen Feihua answered calmly.

“If that is so, please be careful!” Lin Mubai nodded his head as he said.

“At your command!” Chen Feihua bowed slightly before she turned to look at Qian Wu. She then bowed slightly to Qian Wu at her original position before saying, “Five blows. If you can survive five blows, you can leave!”

“Alright!” Qian Wu nodded in agreement as he said.

He was not surprised at Chen Feihua’s confident words, nor was he insulted by her arrogance. He merely nodded his head like a student would.

As though he had predicted these events prior to their happenings.

At that moment, Chen Feihua acted. In fact, from the moment Qian Wu nodded, Chen Feihua already flew at breakneck speed towards him.

Just a punch like the one from before, a punch without any fancy display of prowess.

A brilliance then appeared in Qian Wu’s eyes. He stared at the fist right in front of his eyes, carefully observing the fist that crushed a Rebirth State individual’s heart in a single blow.

He did not retreat.

In fact, he charged forward!

He welcomed the fist with his own.

At the same time, six complicated runes appeared on his hands. The runes then glowed in six different colors and thin threads could be seen connecting them together.
