CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

In the middle of a scorching hot day.

The massive earthquakes happen around the pagoda, which is the only tallest building in Liu Yang, scared the people who were worshipping inside the pagoda. The ceiling began to fall as if something was trying to shoot out from the very top of the pagoda. A roar echoed within the building and the citizens had no other choice but to flee for their lives.

“Run!”

Er Wang slid out again, damaging the pagoda’s roof with his long body sliding out. His body shone and not all eyes could see it, not apart from Bai Ying and the other mystical beings.

But black clouds had covered the sky which made it dark for a moment as if something passed above them. Several old citizens who had experienced this before lowered their bodies to their knees while offering prayers.

“Bless the Heavenly Dragon, please bless us”

Bai Ying was finally able to destroy all the remaining poison in his body. The white aura shone brighter covering his entire body with its gleaming eyes. The intense pulse from his inner strength pushed all the creatures that attacked the Crown Prince and Bei Yau, thrown them far back against the tree trunks and fell into the lava flow in the centre of the volcano.

The moans of pain sounded pitiful. The thrust of Bai Ying’s internal energy caused all creatures to fall down in an instant. Bai Ying’s eyes shone bright red and from his forehead appeared a reddish flame mark.

.....

The hot lava that was continuously roaring from within the mouth of Fo Wang, flow non-stop and finally congealed, turning it black and hard as rocks.

Chai Ni widened her eyes, looking at Bai Ying intently.

“God damn it! What are you doing!” she directed the thick black smoke full of lightning that shot out from her palm towards Bai Ying and the Crown Prince. But Bai Ying’s white energy pushed it far away and hit Chai Ni who was pushed a few steps behind her. The girl’s face had already turned horribly red.

The black smoke covered Chai Ni protecting her from Bai Ying’s white wind attack. There was such a loud bang that a mighty wind blew everyone away from their surroundings.

Bai Ying opened his palms releasing white flames that mercilessly scorched the living roots that attacked them. His eyes were sharp as he saw that Chai Ni, not as gentle Bai Ying as usually was. He opened his palms instantly forming a yellow circle protecting the Crown Prince and Bai Ying within. Pushed Lo Yi and locked him in another yellow circle.

Chai Ni stepped forward again, he lunged at Bai Ying while directing thick black smoke that formed a sharp object that could cut through anything with ease.

“God damn it!”

The roaring sound of Chai Ni which had already fused with Fo Wang boomed as the giant. The volcano shook so hard and made large stones fall to the hill. Even though the lava has begun to be controlled, Fo Wang, who has unlimited power, has not stopped his attacks.

Lo Yi who was confined within the yellow circle without minding himself attacked the protective circle with all his might, aiming his sword hitting and slashing in all directions. Even if it was a waste because Bai Ying’s protective energy was very strong and wasn’t shaken at all by Lo Yi’s useless attacks. But Lo Yi’s tenacity allowed him to create even subtle vibrations in Bai Ying’s protective circle.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, don’t do that!” cried Bei Yau.

The attack at the foot of Fo Wang’s mountain did not stop there. General Mu Yi’s army which was already covered in wounds here and there still did not stop their attacks. Even General Po, whose combat power was far above Mu Yi’s, had to be overwhelmed and pushed down by his younger colleague’s attack.

“Mu Yi, stop it!” the old general held back Mu Yi’s spear with his sword. The spear with three sharp edges made of steel almost hit General Po’s neck, which had been pushed into the tree trunk. He had put all his strength into it and still couldn’t withstand General Mu Yi’s indiscriminate attack.

The soldiers were already overwhelmed and injured here and there. Some were even nearly killed, unable to withstand the barrage of General Mu Yi’s troops and mystical creatures that they couldn’t easily take down. The attacks seem endless.

“Ah!” Yi Fang was already starting to lose his temper, he almost aimed the sharp part of his sword at the neck of one of the soldiers who attacked him, slightly cutting the young man’s neck veins that could kill the young man, but he had to restrain himself.

He finally kicked the young soldier with half his strength.

“Damn it!”

But Yi Fang was caught off guard when suddenly someone stabbed his arm from behind. Penetrate to the front.

“Ah!”

He groaned louder as the soldier pulled the sharp tip of his spear, sending blood spurting into the air.

Yi Fang endured the pain, but somehow he drew his sword and stabbed the young soldier in the chest, instantly killing him.

Even so, Yi Fang was again attacked from all directions. He has pushed far away into the tree behind him. Holding the attack on stand position with one leg resting on the trunk of a large tree, however, no matter how much he was outmatched by the number of soldiers who continued to attack him relentlessly, he was surrounded.

Meanwhile Xi Hu and Ye Lu finally hugged each other shoulder to shoulder suppressing the attacks of warriors and mystical creatures at once. Ye Lu was getting tired, the white flames that wrapped his black chains weren’t as bright as a moment ago, and his strength was starting to be eroded away. Finally, the living roots managed to wrap around Ye Lu’s legs and pulled him away from Xi Hu.

“Lu er!” Xi Hu managed to hold Ye Lu’s hand which was pulled by the living roots that were wrapped around his waist.

Ye Lu pulled his black chains to attack the living roots that gripped his body. But another living root came and wrap his hand.

“Akh” he have no more strength to hold the black chain that was finally released from his hand, the chain that was suddenly detached was pulled up back and disappeared into his sleeve.

“Young master, akh” the living roots Ye Lu away from Xi Hu releasing his grip on him.

“No, Ye Lu!” the mystical roots hung Ye Lu’s body with his head down. Xi Hu tried to get up close to Ye Lu but black roots also wrapped around his body up to his head.

“Lu er!”

The living roots keep coming from all directions, not to mention the soldier who all of them has lost their minds.

Yi Fang has to hold all the swords and spears that come with his twin-thin cleaver. His body pressed down with all people above him, their main duty is to finish all of their obstacles.

Bai Ying looks at his surroundings. His eyes as an eagle’s that could see far from where his standing. All people around him were in distress. Old general Po was pushed back by General Mu Yi and his soldiers who attacked him at once. Just a matter of time before the General who was clearly affected by the charming spell killed General Po and others unhesitantly.

While Xi Hu and Ye Lu are trapped by the living roots without a chance to escape. The roots wrapped around Ye Lu’s and Xi Hu’s necks, ready to strangle them to death.

“Ekh Lu er!”

Bai Ying loses his guard when Chai Ni suddenly attack him and pushed him down to the lava pond. At a second glinch, Bai Ying’s protective sphere broke, and that’s when Lo Yi who was very determined to break free and attack Bei Yau without warning.

Luo Xiang who has been a little bit far from Bai Ying could do nothing but to stand and watch Bai Ying fly to the lava pond.

“Ying Ying!” he was ready to speed up to catch Bai Ying but the black smoke attack him right in his chest. Slamming his body entirely to the big trunk and fell so hard. The fresh blood spurt from his mouth.

Chai Ni’s internal force is so strong, even surpasses him as the centre of four elements.

“Damn it, Fo Wang this is getting too far, what do you think you will get from this? You destroy all the place and being the Mountain’s ruler? Then, what is so good about that? You just have all the shattered places as your reward?”

Chai Ni laugh, so hard that clearly be heard among the rumbles.

“Hahaha, that’s will be so lovely, but, after the King of Realm is so stubborn, how if I take this reward for myself? My sweet Crown Prince?”
