Chapter 473: Where Is My Spear?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Along with the battle between these two, the buildings on the street began to collapse.

A figure in red and a figure in black continuously shuttled through the unceasing dust.

Teng Yue flicked the spear in his hand, and a piece of slate flew toward the empress. However, it turned to dust when it came into contact with her lily-white palms.

“Purple lightning!” Teng Yue shouted at the top of his lungs. At this moment, the spear in his hand turned into a Z-shaped lightning bolt and struck the empress.

Similarly, the empress used her lily-white palms to block the attack, and a visible shockwave was created, sweeping across the entire area. Just then, another building collapsed.

Ren Baqian was dazzled and stunned by this sight. The purple pattern on the empress’s face was just so beautiful that it caused his heart to skip a beat. He also wanted to loudly sing a song, but was missing an erhu.

“Has Teng Yue regained his strength?” Ren Baqian asked Xi Wanya because he didn’t have the ability to make discerning judgements, so much so that he couldn’t even clearly see their silhouettes.

From time to time, he saw the empress whenever she landed on the ground. With her red outfit fluttering in the wind and the purple pattern covering her skin, the empress looked extremely mysterious and beautiful.

“I can’t tell, but at least 80 percent or even 90 percent!” Xi Wanya said in a deep voice.

“What are Her Majesty’s odds of winning?”

“Swallowing the mountain!” Teng Yue yelled once again. The spear in his hand turned into a golden python that revealed its snow-white fangs and opened its mouth to swallow the empress.

The empress did not seem to know how to dodge. From the beginning of the battle up until now, she had not retreated half a step and never dodged a single time. Ren Baqian thought about it and realized that during the battle with the Tianjing Basin experts, the empress had also never tried to dodge. Instead, she fought head-on with her invincible lily-white palms.

At this moment, the empress’s slender waist twisted in midair, and she turned halfway around. Her five fingers formed a hook, and she waved her arm up and down as if she was tearing something. Before the golden python could even come in contact with the empress, it was torn apart from its mouth and turned into a golden ray of light.

A spear flew back to Teng Yue’s hand.

“Confine in prison!” Teng Yue single-handedly caught the spear and spun 180 degrees in midair. The spear sprang into the shape of a bow, headed straight for the empress, and struck at her. Before it even landed, the air below the spear had all been squeezed toward both sides to the extent that even a crevice appeared on the ground.

In Ren Baqian’s eyes, it wasn’t just the strike of a spear. Instead, he saw a huge black mountain on the tip of the spear that pressed down in the direction of the empress.

Boom!

Once again, both parties collided into each other. The empress fell from the sky, crashed to the ground, and created a huge crater.

Then, the huge black mountain in the air disappeared. Teng Yue’s spear jumped high, drew a large circle in the air, and launched at the empress who was below.

Ren Baqian’s heart tightened.

However, the empress was currently buried in a big crater, so he couldn’t see anything.

Teng Yue went down fast and came up even faster. He flew upward while somersaulting and finally stabilized himself after completing 3,600 rotations in the air while wisps of blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

A red silhouette skyrocketed and collided into Teng Yue once again.

Ren Baqian broke out in cold sweat as he watched on.

In theory, the empress shouldn’t be weaker than Teng Yue. After all, Teng Yue was injured and had yet to fully recover. This was all in theory, however, and no one knew if Teng Yue had any hidden trump cards with him.

Additionally, when experts compete, the outcome of a battle would be separated by just a fine line. It wasn’t like in theory, where the weaker one would certainly lose.

Fortunately, they were both equally strong. Even if the outcome of the battle was separated by just a fine line, there wouldn’t be any danger to their lives.

Ren Baqian’s side still had Xi Wanya and the rest. Even though many of them were severely injured, there shouldn’t be any problem controlling Teng Yue. Even if the empress were to suffer a defeat, her life still wouldn’t be in danger.

“Stop tugging! Ren Baqian patted the hand that was tugging his clothes. It was actually a tender and smooth little hand.

Ren Baqian turned to look and saw Lin Qiaole sitting behind him. With a face filthy with grime, she was staring at the bag of candy hanging from his waist and drooling at the same time.

He grabbed a bunch of candies and passed them to Lin Qiaole. Ren Baqian turned his head to look and just happened to see a red silhouette crashing into the ground.

Boom!

“Sky gauze!” Teng Yue let out a lengthy sigh, and there seemed to be countless meteors smashing toward the empress.

In fact, there were countless spear silhouettes that radiated golden light.

Clang, clang, clang, clang…! From the pit, sounds of clashing metal could be heard continuously.

“Earth Net!” When Teng Yue spoke, a golden ray of light overtook the other spear silhouettes and plunged vertically into the ground.

Ren Baqian immediately felt violent shaking coming from the bottom of his feet.

“Oh no!” Xi Wanya’s expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he grabbed Ren Baqian by the front of his shirt and jumped away.

Qing Yuan and Hong Luan were also brought along by Zong Sheng and Qing Ping to escape.

Just when everybody left the ground, the ground was suddenly covered with countless cracks. Soon after, each and every spear silhouette soared into the sky.

All of a sudden, there were many spears moving freely in this area.

Bang! Like a lightning bolt, Teng Yue collided with the empress who had leaped into the sky.

“Where are you escaping to?” Xi Wanya shouted out loud as he unsheathed the long saber on his back. Like a magnificent radiance, a snow-white sword gleam rolled out from the bottom to the top.

Before he could take any action, Ren Baqian was thrown toward Qing Ping.

However, just at this moment, the spear in Teng Yue’s hand connected with the saber gleam, but the spear actually turned a corner and passed by Teng Yue. (TLC. I’m not sure why the spear passes by Teng Yue when he is the one wielding it. Should it be Xi Wanya here? Or did the saber pass by?)

“Not good!” Qing Ping shouted with glaring eyes. However, it was already too late.

Fortunately, Ren Baqian was already used to being thrown in the air. As such, he didn’t panic at all. Just as he was deep in thought, a big hand grabbed his collar and caught ahold of him. However, why was the distance increasing between him and everyone else?

“Teng Yue! As one of the top-ranked experts in the world, you actually did something like that? Aren’t you going to quickly release Principal Ren?” Qing Ping yelled at the top of his lungs as he and Hong Luan landed on the ground.

Ren Baqian was at a loss for words.

Crap. I was caught by that old bast*rd Teng Yue?

The person behind me is Teng Yue?

Immediately, Ren Baqian’s forehead was drenched in perspiration. It was as if his heart had been tightly grasped by a huge hand too.

“Release him!” Just when the empress landed on the ground, she jumped up once again and chased after Teng Yue and Ren Baqian.

“Qi Zixiao, it’s better that you stop now. Otherwise, I’ll strangle him to death instantly.” Teng Yue’s gloomy voice sounded from behind Ren Baqian’s back.

I’m dead! Ren Baqian felt that he wanted to curse and say the word “F*ck” 10,000 times.

After Teng Yue finished speaking, Ren Baqian could finally step on the ground. However, he felt that his legs were still a little soft.

The empress landed at a position 50 meters in front of the both of them and asked in an icy-cold tone, “Teng Yue, what do you plan to do?”

The empress’s current condition wasn’t that good as she had many fresh, bloody wounds on her body as well.

“You actually stopped. It seems like you really care about this little fellow!” Teng Yue laughed mischievously.

“If you dare to hurt him, even if you are at the ends of the world, I’ll definitely kill you and dismember your body.”

Ren Baqian didn’t know what to say.

Your Majesty, aren’t you telling him that I’m the best thing he could use against you?

Right now, should I shout, “Your Majesty, ignore me and help me take revenge!” or “Your Majesty, you musn’t be impulsive!”

“Haha!” Behind Ren Baqian’s back, Teng Yue laughed mischievously. Even if Ren Baqian didn’t turn around, he was able to deduce the meaning of this laughter.

Subsequently, Ren Baqian felt himself being thrown backward and felt a sharp pain in his body. At this moment, a spear had nailed him onto a wall.

He was pinned to the wall by a spear. Ren Baqian only knew that his surroundings were turning black, and he nearly passed out from the excruciating pain. Even though the spear didn’t pierce any of his vital points, it still passed through the area under his shoulder blade. Each and every wave of pain stimulated his brain.

Teng Yue stood two meters in front of Ren Baqian and asked leisurely, “Qi Zixiao, what are you going to do now?”

“I must kill you!” The empress’s voice was filled with murderous intent.

“Since you already want to kill me, this fellow’s life doesn’t matter anymore. I detest that mouth of his anyway, so why don’t I just rip it away!” Teng Yue burst into loud laughter.

“You dare?” The empress’s eyes widened as she glared at him. She subconsciously took a step forward.

“Don’t move!” Teng Yue easily slapped the spear. Immediately, the spear was nailed in further, causing an intense pain that made Ren Baqian shut his eyes.

“Teng Yue, you are practically courting death.” Xi Wanya, Qing Ping, and the rest finally caught up, and they all glowered at him.

“Why don’t you slap yourself once and reduce your strength by 30 percent before we resume our fight again? With so many people on your side, this is the only way I can be at ease.” Teng Yue looked at the empress and sneered.

The empress stared at him silently.

“Your Majesty, you must not do that!” Xi Wanya hastily cried out.

“Sure!” The empress raised her palm.

“Your Majesty!” everyone called out in a sudden outburst of emotion.

The empress was staring intently at Teng Yue as well as at Ren Baqian who was behind him.

“Attract his attention!” Ren Baqian mouthed out these words. Even though he was suffering very badly, he still didn’t let out a single sound.

“Your Majesty!” everyone cried out.

“Noisy!” The empress slapped to the side, and a gust of wind lifted Xi Wanya into the air.

“Great, great, great! Not bad. As expected, you are a loyal and passionate person!” Teng Yue had a good laugh upon seeing this scene.

“Eh?” Just when Teng Yue was in the middle of laughing, he suddenly felt that something was amiss and used his palm.

Immediately, he slammed his body backward and directly smashed the wall into smithereens.

Ren Baqian was gone… So was his spear…

Teng Yue was speechless.

Like a cuckoo bird, a scream that was filled with anger, desolation, misery, and confusion resounded across the top half of Wu City.

“Where is my spear?”

His spear was right behind him, no further than two meters away, but it suddenly disappeared just like that? How could this be?

Even though he was a blind man, his eyeballs were on the verge of bursting from opening too wide underneath the cloth.

Everyone was speechless.

Apart from Teng Yue, everybody else clearly witnessed Ren Baqian disappear together with Teng Yue’s spear while he was pinned to the wall…

With her killing intent overflowing, the empress sneered and ordered, “Don’t let him escape. Today, I’ll definitely tear him apart!”
