Chapter 280: Chapter 281: Young Master Zhao (4th Update) (Request for Favorites, Rewards, and Recommendations)

In the hall of miraculous treasures, martial artists were forbidden to strike each other, otherwise chaos would’ve already erupted.

But this young master Zhao disregarded the rules completely and struck out violently. Though arrogant, he had reason for his pride, having entered the Seventh Layer of the Yu Feng Realm at a young age.

In his eyes, Chu Fengmian was just a First Layer Yu Feng Realm fellow, easy to kill with a single move.

He showed no mercy with his strike, intending to kill Chu Fengmian on the spot.

"Seeking death?"

Chu Fengmian had long been aware of young master Zhao’s presence behind him. However, Chu Fengmian couldn’t be bothered to entangle himself with such a person and disdained to argue with him.

Yet young master Zhao was courting death, daring to launch a sneak attack on Chu Fengmian, his move ruthless and unreserved.

If Chu Fengmian had indeed been merely a First Layer Yu Feng Realm martial artist today, he would have been killed instantly by that attack.

Chu Fengmian snorted coldly. Suddenly, a Dragon Roar resounded violently, shattering young master Zhao’s Spiritual Power.

The man himself was sent reeling backward by Chu Fengmian’s shockwave, vomiting a large mouthful of blood.

The Dragon Roar had shattered young master Zhao’s internal organs. Without half a year’s Time, he would not recover, and during these six months, he would be unable to cultivate.

For young martial artists, every moment of youth is precious, as the foundation laid during these years determines future achievements.

Being unable to cultivate for half a year was a devastating blow to a young genius like Zhao Duanqiao, enough for countless peers to surpass him during this period.

"How dare you injure me, Zhao Duanqiao? It seems you’re truly tired of living!"

Young master Zhao, Zhao Duanqiao, exclaimed in anger.

In the blink of an eye, endless flames condensed around Zhao Duanqiao, the fire all the colors of glazed glass.

"Look, a fight’s broken out over there."

"Is that the second son of the Great Marshal’s Zhao family? Zhao Duanqiao?"

"What’s going on, who has provoked this scourge?"

Many people recognized Zhao Duanqiao and began to discuss amongst themselves.

Zhao Duanqiao was a notorious figure in the ancient city of Jiuding, someone no one dared to provoke, because behind him was the Zhao family.

And the master of the Zhao family is Zhao Wudi, currently the foremost figure in the Qing Emperor’s realm, the Great General of the Armies and Horses.

In the Qing Emperor’s realm, though the imperial family is regarded with the highest honor, this General, while ostensibly tasked with defending a territory, is in fact quite separate from the Qing Emperor’s rule.

He alone controls his domain and holds military power, constantly seeking to replace the imperial family.

While the imperial family of the Qing Emperor’s realm still possess some strength, to many it seems inevitable that they will be replaced by Zhao Wudi.

And Zhao Duanqiao is none other than Zhao Wudi’s second son, practically a Prince of the current Qing Emperor’s realm - who would dare provoke him?

Yet today, someone had provoked him.

"That person looks unfamiliar, doesn’t seem to be from Jiuding ancient city."

"An outsider, to have crossed Zhao Duanqiao, what bad luck."

"But that guy, with just one move, actually managed to injure Zhao Duanqiao; he must possess some strength, not as simple as he seems."

"So what? Anyone who provokes Zhao Duanqiao is doomed to die, even the current Princes wouldn’t dare mess with him."

The murmuring of countless spectators made Chu Fengmian suddenly recall something.

The name "Young Master Zhao" seemed familiar.

Just as Chu Fengmian was leaving the Twilight Pavilion, he heard that the Millennium Dragon Blood Herb had been purchased by young master Zhao – it seemed it was this person right in front of him.

"Kid, the Ancient Dragon Blood Grass from Twilight Pavilion was bought by you, correct?"

Chu Fengmian looked at Zhao Duanqiao and suddenly spoke out loud.

"That’s right, it was I who bought it."

Zhao Duanqiao said coldly.

"What, are you from Twilight Pavilion? But even if you are, offending me today means you won’t be able to leave."

Zhao Duanqiao thought Chu Fengmian was scared of him, trying to frighten him with his association to Twilight Pavilion, and couldn’t help but sneer.

"How dare you sneak attack and harm me, today you will not leave Qibao Pavilion alive."

"Oh? Prince Zhao really has quite the presence, it’s just a pity, you’re actually a fool."

Chu Fengmian looked at Zhao Duanqiao and shook his head.

"I was actually planning to give you a chance, to hand over the Ancient Dragon Blood Grass obediently, and I would have spared your life. Now, it seems, at least I need to sew your mouth shut to prevent you from causing trouble with the wrong people in the future."

As Chu Fengmian spoke, the gazes of everyone around shifted, looking at Chu Fengmian as if they were staring at a madman.

They had originally thought Chu Fengmian didn’t know Zhao Duanqiao’s identity, which is why he dared to confront him.

But now, it seemed that Chu Fengmian, knowing Zhao Duanqiao’s identity, became even more aggressive instead, showing no respect whatsoever.

What right did Chu Fengmian have?

Strength?

No matter how strong Chu Fengmian was, could he be more powerful than the Zhao family, more so than Zhao Wudi, who was on the verge of overcoming a major life-and-death tribulation as the great Marshal?

To say such things, he must be a madman.

Even Zhao Duanqiao himself trembled with rage, never before had someone dared to speak to him like this in Jiuding Ancient City, throughout the entire Qin Emperor’s realm.

"You’re extremely arrogant! You’re the most arrogant person I’ve ever met! And the most foolish! It seems you’re destined to die today!"

Zhao Duanqiao shouted angrily.

"Master Mu, help me kill this kid!"

"As Prince Zhao wishes, this old man shall obey."

Hearing Zhao Duanqiao’s words, Master Mu, who stood behind him, stepped forward, his Spiritual Power suddenly erupting.

Semi-Saint.

This Master Mu turned out to be a peak Semi-Saint figure in the Yu Feng realm.

Facing someone like Chu Fengmian, who was unknown, he could gain Prince Zhao’s favor, so naturally, Master Mu was willing to act.

After all, no matter if it’s a Semi-Saint or so-called treasure appraising master, if the Zhao family wished it, he could be destroyed in an instant.

But if the Zhao family chose to help him, his future status could soar to the heavens. Having the opportunity to win Prince Zhao’s favor today, he was naturally willing to make his move.

"Kid, let’s see how arrogant you can be today."

Seeing that Master Mu had agreed to act, Zhao Duanqiao’s momentum also grew immense, Chu Fengmian’s strength, no matter how peculiar, could he be a match for a Semi-Saint?

Today, with Master Mu’s intervention, this person with an unknown background, Chu Fengmian, was surely doomed.

Looking at Chu Fengmian’s calm expression, Zhao Duanqiao couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.

"Feigning composure, we’ll see if you can remain so calm when you’re being beaten to death!"

"Master Mu, make your move."
