Chapter 474: 473, The Empress Comes into the World (First Update)

"Do you think, to kill someone as lowly as you, I would need to make a move myself?" Zheng Chuyi glared at her with a vicious look.

No sooner had her voice faded, than Qin Qingchen and Zhang Linzi turned into afterimages, launching an attack toward Chu Jin.

They couldn’t resist the Empress’s words.

"Well, you two old fellows," Chu Jin said with a light smile, "I shall also give you three moves, so no one can say I bullied the old, weak, sick, or disabled."

To Zhang Linzi and Qin Qingchen, those words were particularly grating to the ears.

Two grandees of the Three Realms were being repeatedly mocked by an unknown junior.

Today, they intended to teach this brash girl a lesson.

To let her know there’s always a higher sky above and a stronger person beyond!

"Arrogant child! Why would I need you to let me make three moves? Come, face your death." Enraged beyond containment, Zhang Linzi turned his claw into a fist, striking straight toward her vital spot.

Chu Jin just stood there casually, which might appear haphazard, but any professional could tell that her stance was optimal for both defense and attack.

Qin Qingchen and Zhang Linzi were resolute in their determination to eliminate Chu Jin.

So every strike aimed to kill.

An intense battle was inevitable.

The figures of three people entwined together, accompanied by the chilling strong wind, caused a shiver to run down the spine of the onlookers.

Chu Jin was on the defensive only.

She always kept her word.

Tong Zhi, fanning herself with the Five-Colored Phoenix Fan, looked towards the Mo family matriarch with a worried expression and said, "If this continues, won’t Jin suffer a loss?"

"Don’t be nervous, Jin will be fine, we should trust her," the Mo family matriarch consoled.

Since she had chosen to trust Chu Jin, she wouldn’t doubt her.

After all, wasn’t Chu Jin someone Mo Zhixuan had taken a liking to? How could she be any less competent?

Before, she had been unnecessarily worried.

Perhaps that konghou was meant to be played by Chu Jin after all.

In this world, miracles were perhaps the least scarce commodity.

The potential of humans should never be underestimated.

The Mo family matriarch was also praying, hoping she hadn’t placed her bets on the wrong person.

To her, Chu Jin was like an uncut gemstone; you never know what kind of surprise she might bring.

For the Mo family to have such a daughter-in-law was a blessing of three lifetimes.

Compared to Tong Zhi’s nervousness, Mo Qingyi was calm and composed.

Given Jin’s previous feat of knocking down a grown man with a single punch, these two old men didn’t stand a chance against her.

Moreover, Jin wouldn’t engage in something she wasn’t confident about.

Everyone present watched intently as the three figures tangled in combat.

Holding their breath.

The atmosphere was tense.

The doors were closed.

Outside the door, the sun shone perfectly, and a gentle breeze blew, marking a beautiful and comfortable summer day that no one could have guessed was so starkly different from the scene inside.

Inside the house, a heaven-shaking, ghost-inciting battle of life and death was underway.

Three moves had passed.

Chu Jin shifted from defense to offense, pressing forward step by step. Zhang Linzi and Qin Qingchen were renowned for their speed in the Three Realms, but what they didn’t expect was that there was someone even faster than them.

In a two-against-one situation, they were gradually losing ground!

Inconceivable!

Both saw shock in the other’s eyes.

What in the world was happening?

Mo Feixue and Zheng Chuyi also felt a little anxious. They were no fools and could sense something amiss. "Chuyi..." Mo Feixue whispered to Zheng Chuyi.

"Don’t panic." Zheng Chuyi forced herself to appear calm. After all, Zhang and Qin’s strength was evident; how could they possibly lose for real?

Anxiety lingered on Mo Feixue’s face.

For her, the future of the Mo family was at stake.

Whether the Mo family could ascend to the pinnacle hinged on today’s outcome.

The battle among the three was fiercely intense. Anyone within a meter of the fight found it hard even to keep their footing.

The forceful wind was biting, and the pressure it exerted was formidable.

Zhang and Qin were, after all, master-class figures. Defeating them would not be easy, especially considering Chu Jin had previously allowed them three moves.

Chu Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She couldn’t delay any longer. Dragging this out would only exhaust her Spiritual Power.

Now was the moment!

Her hands gathered purple lightning, she grounded her energy to her core, readying herself to unleash her power; it all happened in the blink of an eye.

’Bang—Bang—’

The sound of two heavy objects hitting the ground.

The floor beneath their feet even trembled a bit.

Two master-class figures lay sprawled on the ground in disarray.

’Pfft—’

Two bright red bloodstains dyed the white floor tiles crimson.

"Clap, clap, clap—" Mo Feng Xu, ever the one to enjoy a good spectacle, began to applaud enthusiastically. "Master Chu, nicely done."

"Useless trash!" Zheng Chuyi’s face was very ugly to behold.

Mo Feixue was even more at a loss for how to proceed, a cold sweat breaking out on her back almost instantly. With the two most formidable people present down, what did they have left to contend with Chu Jin?

Mo Zhixuan was just being Mo Zhixuan. It was one thing to forcibly transfer spiritual power to Chu Jin, but to allow her to integrate it so well—just how much of his cultivation had he expended?

No wonder the Three Realms all held him in awe.

They had thought Zhang Linzi and Qin Qingchen were two extraordinarily formidable figures, but in the end, they were no better than a good-for-nothing from the secular world!

The Empress was the faith of Zhang Linzi and Qin Qingchen.

At this moment, they had let down the Empress.

The two lying on the ground clenched their fists in humiliation, then glanced at each other, seeing the answer in each other’s eyes. This matter was not over! Even in death, they had to complete the mission given to them by the Empress.

The pressure in the air changed in an instant.

The two who had been on the ground suddenly rose into the air, with Zhang Linzi even pulling a longsword from his spatial storage. They had been overconfident just moments before, but not this time!

Seeing this, Tong Zhi hurriedly threw her Five-Colored Phoenix Fan to Chu Jin, "Jin, catch!"

The seemingly lightweight fan transformed into a bolt of lightning, slicing through the air towards Chu Jin.

Just as Chu Jin caught the Five-Colored Phoenix Fan, Zi inside the purple thunder space exclaimed, "The Five-Colored Suzaku Fan!"

The Vermilion Bird was one of the Ten Great Divine Beasts.

Now, with both the White Tiger and Vermilion Bird making appearances, a heaven-shaking calamity was likely to erupt in the Three Realms.

At this moment, both Qin Qingchen and Zhang Linzi underwent noticeable transformations.

Their clothing shifted from modern attire to plain Taoist robes.

One brandished a longsword, while the other wielded a whisk.

Qin Qingchen, with half-closed eyes full of scrutiny, swung his whisk disdainfully, "I thought you would be some great entity, but it turns out you’re just a mere rebel against the world. Today, let me execute justice on Heaven’s behalf."

With that declaration, he revealed a heavenly secret.

A rebel against the world.

This was not the first time Chu Jin had heard the term.

So, what exactly did it represent?

Both the Mo family matriarch and Tong Zhi had a gleam in their eyes.

They were well aware of what a rebel against the world meant.

Jin was a rebel against the world?

How could that be?

Perhaps it was just Qin Qingchen spouting nonsense.

"Bang—Bang—Bang—" Just then, a strong gust of wind surged through the quiet room, knocking down calligraphy paintings, antiques, and vases.

The wind howled and roared.

It forced people to stagger backward several steps.

And it made it impossible to open their eyes.

Tong Zhi quickly protected the Mo family matriarch and Mo Qingyi, while Mo Feixue took the initiative to shield Zheng Chuyi behind her.

Almost everyone was unsteady on their feet.

Only the three in the center of the hall, standing off against each other, remained as immovable as mountains.

"Boom—" The sunny weather outside suddenly turned gloomy as a thunderous roar echoed through the sky, lightning intertwining with the thunder.

This was a clash of titans!

In the distance, faint dragon roars seemed to emanate, elusive and ethereal.

"It seems even the Heavenly Dao can’t tolerate you!" Zhang Linzi, longsword in hand, executed a flower flourish with his blade, the tip angled towards Chu Jin as he thrust straight at her.

Facing the bitter cold of the blade’s point, Chu Jin stepped back a few paces, vaulted up, and landed on the tip of the wooden column inside the house. At a 45-degree angle, leaning downwards, she opened her arms and looked down at the crowd from on high. With a swing of the Five-Colored Phoenix Fan in her hand, a powerful pressure rolled towards Zhang Linzi.

Qin Qingchen quickly joined the struggle as well.

With a flick of his whisk, the white filaments transformed into numerous clawed hands like those of the Grim Reaper.

And in that moment—

With a "bang!" a loud noise erupted.

As if something had burst through the door, golden light filled the room,

"Roar—" The previously intangible dragon’s roar turned substantial, resounding through the entire hall.

Nearly everyone was stunned.

Even the weapons in Qin Qingchen and Zhang Linzi’s hands were shaken to the floor.

And there, wrapped around the column, was a massive Azure Dragon, its body glimmering with golden light despite its name.

The Azure Dragon too was one of the Ten Great Divine Beasts.

With the Azure Dragon’s emergence, it seemed that Zheng Chuyi’s decision was correct—she was the reincarnation of the Empress.

A look of joy crossed Zhang Linzi’s face.

"Miss Zheng, quickly play the Konghou to make the Azure Dragon return to its place. Among the Ten Great Beasts, the Azure Dragon leads. With it, uniting the Three Realms is within reach!" Having said this, Zhang Linzi looked around at everyone in the room, "The Empress is coming to this world, and when she does, you all shall bow down and serve."
