Chapter 356 (1/2)

He knew that Feng Yu Heng knew martial arts, and he knew that Feng Yu Heng had superb archery abilities; however, he did not think that she would be able to use a whip as proficiently as Xuan Tian Ming! Not only was she proficient, she also had plenty of strength that was mixed with something that made it extremely hard to dodge.

Xuan Tian Ye also noticed that Feng Yu Heng had whipped the ground. The pavement in front of the Xiang Palace that had been whipped ended up cracking.

He suddenly understood that this girl did not want to get hurt to have the Emperor hand down punishment. What she wanted… was to actually kill him!

A deep chill filled his heart. How could he have forgotten? This was Feng Yu Heng! She was the favored wife of Xuan Tian Ming! Once this person hated someone, how could she allow someone else to help her get revenge? She would definitely take action herself immediately. This was the only way for her to have fun!

Xuan Tian Ye was soaked in a cold sweat. Carefully dodging Feng Yu Heng’s whip, he moved his sword extremely quickly.

Since his opponent was trying to kill him, there was no need for him to hold back. She wanted to play at a life and death struggle? Then he just needed to play along.

Once he settled on this idea, Xuan Tian Ye adjusted himself to be as focused as possible. Flicking his wrist, his sword did not have even the slightest bit of magnificence, as it charged straight at Feng Yu Heng.

Everyone was shocked. The third prince was clearly trying to kill her. This move was too fast. It was so fast that Feng Jin Yuan only saw a flash and could not even react to understand what was happening. This flash was just about to reach Feng Yu Heng’s forehead.

Everyone felt that county princess Ji An would not be able to dodge in time, as everyone tightly closed their eyes.

However, they did not think that just as the sword was about to reach her forehead, Feng Yu Heng did not appear to be panicked in the slightest. Instead, she curled up the corners of her lips into a strange smile.

The cold of the blade had already reached her forehead, and Xuan Tian Ye felt that he was successful, but-

In the next instant, something that he absolutely could not have expected happened!

A perfectly living person that was standing right in front of him and was about to be cut down by his sword actually disappeared!

Xuan Tian Ye was immediately dazed!

With his sword missing its mark in addition to his shock, he could not gather himself. Once his feet landed, he staggered forward, needing three or four steps to stabilize himself. At this time, he suddenly felt a rush of wind behind his head. A force that was even more direct, even more domineering and even more fierce rushed toward him.

He realized that this was bad, but it was coming too quickly. He truly did not have time to dodge, so he could only quickly lower his head. He managed to lower and protect his head, but he exposed the rest of his back.

The whip cracked on his back, and Xuan Tian Ye felt a sweet taste surge up from within his chest and press against his throat. He thought to himself that this was bad. The force from the whip was too great and had injured his internal organs! Doing his best to calm down, he forcefully swallowed down the blood that had surged up.

Xuan Tian Ye felt his vision go dark, as he required a few moments to recover.

He then quickly turned around and saw the girl that had suddenly disappeared standing behind him with her whip. Her eyes were red, as she looked like a ghoul that had come out of hell. Just her glare was enough to scare off his soul. She looked like a war god from the ancient era that could do anything. Just by raising her hand, she could change the situation!

Xuan Tian Ye was a little shaken. The injury was a minor issue, but Feng Yu Heng had suddenly disappeared. This was something that was a little too hard to understand!

He wanted to ask what had just happened, but Feng Yu Heng was not in the mood to chat. Her first crack of the whip did not cause him to cough up blood, so she had to whip him once more!

The war god looked forward with her red eyes and rushed ahead. The whip extended straight into the air and did not have any trace of its original flexibility. It was even harder than Xuan Tian Ye’s sword.

Xuan Tian Ye did not have time to dodge and quickly retreated. Putting up a defense, he held the sword horizontally in front of his chest as both an attack and a defense. When the whip came over, the whip struck straight at the body of the sword. The two used their inner force at the same time to compete in who had more inner power.

The onlookers were once again dazed! But this time, everyone watched on wide-eyed. Nobody was willing to close their eyes. Just now, they had missed how Feng Yu Heng had dodged Xuan Tian Ye’s sword. They had already suffered one loss. Now, the situation had turned, as county princess Ji An was on the offensive against the third prince. They could no longer miss anything.

In truth, the people had an understanding. Just now, Feng Yu Heng striking with her whip had caught the third prince unprepared, and it could be considered a sneak attack. Now, the two were comparing strength. Feng Yu Heng was a young child. Even if she could use her inner strength, she definitely could not beat the third prince.

Everyone thought this way and watched wide-eyed; however, as they watched, they found that as the struggle persisted, why did it seem as though it was the third prince that was gradually losing? Some of the more attentive people noticed that Xuan Tian Ye’s feet were sliding back on pieces of pavement that had begun to crack. It was obvious how much force was needed to defend against Feng Yu Heng’s attack.

What they saw was correct. At this time, Xuan Tian Ye was not just on the verge of collapse. He truly felt that he may as well die!

He felt that his sword was not holding back something like a whip. Instead, it was holding back something like a large rock, and that rock was pressing heavily against his chest, almost making it impossible to breathe.
