227: Princess summons

Early the next morning, Yang Lingchen and his two companions left the Drunken Spring Pavilion and arrived at the Tianfeng Challenge Stage.

Yesterday, there hadn't been many spectators around the Arena, but today, it was already packed tight early on.

Perhaps everyone knew Su Shiji's character and knew he wouldn't come on the first day, so everyone chose to come and watch the excitement on the second day.

At this moment, the area around the Arena was bustling with people, and the noisy discussions were incessant.

"Brother Yang, should we set up a Teleportation Array just in case?" Wang Chen asked in a low voice, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"No need. I'm not here to kill anyone. Besides, even if this Su Shiji is arrogant and despotic, given his status, I can't kill him!"

Yang Lingchen's expression was firm, his eyes flashing with confidence. "As long as I don't kill the other party, I don't think I'll be in any danger. After all, the reputation of the Tianfeng Holy Dynasty in the Tianfeng World isn't too bad."

"Brother Yang is right. The reputation of the Tianfeng Holy Dynasty is still quite good. As long as we don't kill Su Shiji, there shouldn't be any problems," Huo Du said.

Time passed slowly as they waited. In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and the scorching sun hung high.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, a luxurious beast carriage flew over rapidly from the distance.

This beast carriage was of grand specifications, with two Golden-winged Great Pengs carrying it, one in front and one behind. It was extremely fast and, in an instant, was suspended above the Arena. The powerful airflow caused everyone's clothes to rustle loudly.

Under the gaze of the crowd, a handsome and extraordinary-looking young man, accompanied by two beautiful women, slowly flew down from the beast carriage.

The person who arrived was none other than the Eighteenth Prince of the Tianfeng Holy Dynasty—Su Shiji.

He was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe with a belt studded with gemstones around his waist. His hair was tied up high, and he exuded an innate Aura of nobility.

"Look, the Eighteenth Prince is here!" someone in the crowd shouted excitedly.

"The Eighteenth Prince's airs are getting bigger and bigger."

"Isn't that obvious? If you were a prince, your airs would probably be even bigger than his."

"That makes sense. By the way, do you think Yang Lingchen can win against the Eighteenth Prince?"

"Personally, I don't think Yang Lingchen has much of a chance. The Eighteenth Prince is the number one Genius on the divine martial ranking of the entire Tianfeng World. If it weren't for accumulating enough Luck of the Great Emperor, he would have already broken through to the Great Emperor Realm."

For a time, the crowd began to whisper and discuss heatedly.

Su Shiji, accompanied by the two sexy beauties, landed directly in front of Yang Lingchen.

"You are Yang Lingchen?"

Su Shiji didn't look sideways, a disdainful smile curling at the corner of his mouth. His gaze seemed to be inspecting an insignificant nobody.

"You are Su Shiji?"

Yang Lingchen had the same expression of disdain as he looked at the other party, his gaze completely fearless.

"How bold. You dare to be so arrogant when meeting This Prince?" Su Shiji looked at Yang Lingchen coldly, emitting a powerful pressure.

"There are only two kinds of people in this world: the strong and the weak. Stop using your status as a prince to act tough here; it only makes you look childish."

Yang Lingchen's voice was calm and low, with no ripples on his face, as if the person in front of him wasn't a noble prince, but just an ordinary opponent.

"Good lad, you really are arrogant enough. I hope your strength is as hard as your mouth later."

A cold glint flashed in Su Shiji's eyes. His sharp Aura made the surroundings instantly quiet, as if even the air had frozen.

"Does talking so much nonsense make you look impressive? Are you going to fight or not?" Yang Lingchen's face was indifferent, his voice cold, completely unmoved.

"You're courting death!"

Su Shiji shouted sharply and waved his hand, unleashing a Fist Aura. Instantly, a violent wind rose at the scene.

This Fist Aura carried biting Killing Intent, as if it were about to tear the air apart, whistling toward Yang Lingchen. The powerful force caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen leaped into the air, his whole body flying up like a nimble bird, directly dodging Su Shiji's powerful strike. His movements were smooth and flowing, extremely stylish.

At this moment, Su Shiji unleashed another Fist Aura and rushed toward Yang Lingchen, his speed as fast as lightning.

"Hmph! You want to play close-quarters combat with me?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Yang Lingchen's mouth. His right hand instantly unleashed a Domain Breaking Fist. The fierce Fist Aura, carrying a biting Aura, went directly to meet Su Shiji's fist.

"Boom, boom, boom...!"

The two Fist Auras collided fiercely, emitting a deafening roar. Intense energy fluctuations spread to the surroundings, causing many onlookers to retreat repeatedly.

At this moment, a muffled groan came from Su Shiji's mouth, and he retreated a full hundred meters, almost falling off the Arena. His face instantly turned pale; he had clearly suffered a big loss.

Yang Lingchen's figure, however, remained motionless, as if Su Shiji's terrifying Fist Aura was just tickling him.

Silence. At this moment, the scene was completely silent.

The onlookers widened their eyes, expressions of disbelief appearing on their faces. For a long time, in the eyes of the Martial Artists of Tianfeng City, Su Shiji was the ceiling of the Divine Martial Realm, and it had always been him suppressing others.

No one expected that today, Su Shiji would actually be suppressed by someone else.

"Do you want to continue?"

An indifferent expression appeared on Yang Lingchen's face, as if all of this was within his expectations.

"Boy, if you have the guts, take another sword strike from This Prince."

Su Shiji was annoyed and embarrassed. This time, he used his strongest sword technique and slashed toward Yang Lingchen. The awe-inspiring Sword Qi, carrying thick Killing Intent, instantly enveloped the entire Arena.

"Damn it, if I don't beat you into submission, you really think your status as a prince is so noble."

Yang Lingchen's figure flashed, and he instantly rushed toward Su Shiji. His speed reached the extreme, almost to the point of being invisible to the naked eye.

The moment Su Shiji's battle sword was about to fall, Yang Lingchen grabbed his wrist, and then snatched the battle sword from his hand. His movements were coherent, without the slightest hesitation.

"Bang...!"

After taking the opponent's battle sword, Yang Lingchen kicked Su Shiji away. Su Shiji's body drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

The moment he kicked Su Shiji away, an invisible energy instantly enveloped Yang Lingchen.

"Luck of the Great Emperor Perfection."

Feeling the thick Luck of the Great Emperor, Yang Lingchen was extremely excited. Now he could finally break through to the Great Emperor Realm. His heart was filled with joy and anticipation.

"Kill him for This Prince!"

Feeling the loss of the Luck of the Great Emperor on his body, Su Shiji roared, his face becoming extremely ferocious.

"Yes, Your Highness."

As soon as Su Shiji finished speaking, two old men at the ninth layer of the Great Emperor Realm pounced toward Yang Lingchen.

Their eyes were filled with Killing Intent, and their powerful Aura made the people around them feel a sense of suffocation.

"Damn it, this jerk is too shameless!"

Facing the attack of two Peak Great Emperors, Yang Lingchen had no other choice. He could only choose to ask Ling'er for help.

Just as Yang Lingchen was about to summon Ling'er, two sharp Sword Qis shot from afar.

"Puchi...!"

The sharp Sword Qi instantly pierced through the heads of the two Peak Great Emperors. The two old men didn't even have time to let out a scream before they fell on the spot.

Then, a woman about forty years old with a plump figure suddenly appeared on the Arena. This was a woman who still possessed charm, and she exuded an awe-inspiring pressure that made people dare not look directly at her.

"Aunt Hong... why did you kill my guards?" Su Shiji said, his voice filled with anger and confusion.

"Young Master Yang is the person the Eldest Princess wants to see. Anyone who dares to harm Young Master Yang is provoking the Eldest Princess."

The woman named Aunt Hong said in a calm voice, casting a cold glance at Su Shiji.

"So Young Master Yang is the Eldest Princess's person. Forgive my disrespect."

Although Su Shiji had a smile on his face, a flash of imperceptible Killing Intent crossed his brow.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was confused. He had no idea who this Eldest Princess was.

Just then, a more luxurious beast carriage appeared above the Arena. The area around the beast carriage radiated a mysterious light, making people feel awe.

"Young Master Yang, the Eldest Princess invites you." Aunt Hong made an inviting gesture.

"Big sister, can I not go?"

Yang Lingchen tentatively asked, his heart filled with anxiety.

"Her Highness the Princess has given orders. If Young Master Yang doesn't want to go, we can break your limbs and drag you back; it's the same thing." Aunt Hong curled her lips into a cold smile, making people shudder.

"Ahem...! Let's go quickly! Lest we keep Her Highness the Princess waiting too long." Yang Lingchen said quickly.

This Aunt Hong's strength had clearly reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm. In front of such a powerhouse, he couldn't escape unless he summoned Ling'er.

But under normal circumstances, Ling'er wouldn't care, unless Yang Lingchen encountered a life-or-death crisis that he couldn't solve, only then would she appear.

And Ling'er only had one chance to save the situation. Once used, Ling'er would ascend to the Divine Realm. At that time, Yang Lingchen would have no more trump cards for survival.
