CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 33: CELESTIAL TALISMAN SAINTESS LI SHIQING

"So that’s how it is!"

Xia Feng nodded, but his mind was busy thinking of an excuse to change the topic.

Xiao Qingxue and Qi Wan’er were still arguing over who would marry Xia Feng, while, over time, the Life Cage had already started to slowly disappear.

At this moment, Cloud Mountain, suffering from a considerable loss of life force, was unable to exhibit his power and couldn’t even maintain his position in the air. He fell directly from the sky, slamming onto the ground with a loud thud, raising a cloud of dust.

After the dust settled, Cloud Mountain struggled to stand up, hunching his back, his aged and murky eyes firmly fixed on Xia Feng, who was surrounded by the two Top Grade Saintesses.

Martial Venerable, possessing a lifespan of five thousand years.

He had lived only a few hundred years, leaving over four thousand years of life.

But now, in an instant, his life force had been completely consumed by the Life Cage, leaving him with only a few months to live.

Moreover, with his life force being devoured, he couldn’t fully utilize his strength.

"The Life Cage, stripping away life, how terrifying is that?"

"Looking at Cloud Mountain now, I fear even I could kill him if I went up."

"I doubt he can even hold a knife."

The patriarchs of the Sun and Li families, along with the Xia family guards, looked at the aged and nearly unrecognizable Cloud Mountain, their hearts filled with dread.

Listening to everyone’s comments, seeing Xia Feng being favored by the two Top Grade Saintesses, Cloud Mountain’s Dao heart finally completely collapsed!

He couldn’t understand why the Top Grade Saintesses, whom he didn’t dare to look at directly, flocked eagerly to an insignificant place like Xingyu City, favoring a "waste."

Clearly, he was just one step away from killing Xia Feng, yet these Top Grade Saintesses appeared one after another, crushing his hopes time and again?

How unjust the heavens are to me!!

Cloud Mountain’s eyes reddened, his killing intent grew stronger, and his expression turned insanely ferocious.

"Even if I die, I’ll take you all with me!"

Cloud Mountain roared in his heart, then a violent energy began to accumulate crazily within him.

The powerful aura caught everyone’s attention.

"Why has his aura suddenly strengthened?"

The Xia family, Sun family, and Li family guards were all stunned.

"Not good! He wants to self-destruct, run!"

The patriarchs of the Sun and Li families turned pale, turned around, and fled without a second thought.

"Since you won’t let me live, let’s all die together."

Cloud Mountain laughed maniacally, the energy within him becoming increasingly violent.

"Husband, be careful!"

Xiao Qingxue and Qi Wan’er quickly stepped forward, shielding Xia Feng behind them.

"You idiot, why didn’t your broken Life Cage just suck him dry?" Qi Wan’er, with a protective gang qi a foot thick condensed around her, couldn’t help but complain.

Xiao Qingxue also condensed a protective gang qi a foot thick, muttering, "We are the Sacred Land of Life, not the Sacred Land of Death; everything must leave a line. After the Life Cage devours ninety-nine percent of the enemy’s life force, it will automatically disappear."

"What kind of bullshit rule is that?"

Qi Wan’er said displeased, "I should have just played a melody to kill him."

"It’s not too late now," Xiao Qingxue replied.

"Now? He’s about to self-destruct, and the energy within him is already on the brink of explosion. Even if he were killed now, that energy would still explode." Qi Wan’er said coldly, "In any case, he’s already doomed. Why should I add another blow? What we need to do now is protect our husband and his family."

"Uncle Xia, Aunt Xia, hurry and come behind us."

Xiao Qingxue also agreed with Qi Wan’er’s viewpoint, calling to Father Xia and Mrs. Xia, who were in a daze in the hall.

"Alright!"

Mrs. Xia finally came to her senses, quickly pulling Father Xia along to Xia Feng’s side.

In Father Xia’s hand, the Jade Scroll appeared once more, ready to be crushed.

Xia Feng glanced at Cloud Mountain, slightly furrowing his brows, and then shouted, "All Xia family guards, come behind us, immediately!"

The initially dazed guards heard him and rushed over to Xia Feng and the others.

"Die, all of you die."

Cloud Mountain appeared crazed, the energy within him reaching its peak, about to explode.

At this moment, a talisman broke through the void from afar and adhered to his back.

"What’s happening? Why is my energy disappearing?"

Cloud Mountain awaited the explosion sound, only to find the energy accumulated to the extreme within him vanished without a trace.

"No, come out."

He roared furiously, struggling to gather energy, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t muster even a trace.

"Who is it, come out?"

He knew someone had intervened with his plans.

Looking up at the sky, he let out a mad roar.

Guarding Xia family members, Qi Wan’er and Xiao Qingxue both frowned simultaneously.

That person was here.

Right on time.

Xia Feng also looked towards the distant sky. He had seen the talisman before and naturally guessed the visitor’s identity.

In the Southern Border’s Top Grade Sacred Land, only the Celestial Talisman Sacred Land was skilled in talismans.

The one who came should be the Celestial Talisman Saintess, Li Shiqing.

"A dying waste, attempting to drag my husband down with him?"

With the sound arising, a figure stepped through the air from afar.

She wore a purple long dress, and beneath her feet was a Great Dao paved with countless talismans.

An unparalleled beauty, with a tall figure, yet another unmatched beauty.

However, her face was somewhat cold, and her beautiful eyes were filled with intense killing intent.

"Who are you?"

Cloud Mountain tried many times but couldn’t gather energy, and thus couldn’t self-destruct. He looked up at the woman in the air, asking in a hoarse and aged voice.

"Celestial Talisman Sacred Land, Li Shiqing."

The woman had already descended on the wall of the Xia family’s front courtyard, looking coldly at Cloud Mountain on the ground.

"Celestial Talisman Saintess Li Shiqing?"

"The Great Xia Empire’s ten Top Grade Saintesses, nine are here now."

"Only the Celestial Pill Saintess hasn’t arrived yet."

"Perhaps the Celestial Pill Saintess is already on her way."

The Xia family, Sun family, and Li family guards were astounded, discussing amongst themselves.

Pfft!

Upon hearing this, Cloud Mountain spat out blood on the spot, his aura becoming even more withered.

Why?

Why is it?

Xia Feng, that "waste," why are there so many Top Grade Saintesses favoring him?

He couldn’t comprehend it and was extremely jealous.

"You, deserve to die!"

Li Shiqing waved her hand, and thousands of talismans appeared out of nowhere, densely packed, covering the sky.

"Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?"

Xia Feng watched this scene, somewhat dumbfounded.

With Cloud Mountain at death’s door, was such a grand display necessary?

Qi Wan’er and Xiao Qingxue both pouted, murmuring softly, "A show-off to attract our husband’s attention."

"What?"

Xia Feng didn’t hear clearly, asked in confusion.

"Uh, nothing, I said Cloud Mountain deserves death," Qi Wan’er quickly said.

"Yes, yes, Cloud Mountain indeed deserves death," Xiao Qingxue repeatedly agreed.

"Really?"

Xia Feng glanced suspiciously at the two women without thinking much and continued to look up at the battlefield.
