Phoenix Destiny - Chapter 344 - Urgent

“Ah, right.” Jiang Yuan stared at him, emotionless. “We are strangers right now, aren’t we?”

Immediately, Jiang Yuan raised her hand, and snow quickly filled the air, icicles appearing mid-air.

Since she made her move, the floating cloud gentleman did not hesitate and strong wind immediately surrounded him.

In a split second, the icicle and blades made out of wind collided, and fragments of ice flew all around, and the two of them could no longer be seen clearly.

Yan Wugui turned around and blocked an attack for Lu Mingshu. “What do we do now?” He yelled.

Lu Mingshu planned to push Jiang Yuan into the heaven core, and then she and Yan Wugui would find ways to escape. It wasn’t a big deal if they did not get into the top ten. They did not want it either as it would attract too much unnecessary attention.

But now, it wasn’t easy if they wanted to escape.

“Oh, no.” She muttered. “The clouds are collecting soul energy for another attack.”

Jiang yuan and the floating cloud gentleman were fighting. Their strengths were similar, and if the cloud attacked her at this time, Jiang Yuan would be in danger.

Lu Mingshu made a decision quickly in her mind and shouted. “Let’s go over now!”

“To where?” Yan Wugui yelled at her, but he saw Chu Zhengyan coming after him from the corner of his eyes.

Lu Mingshu saw it too and threw him a glance. Yan Wugui nodded and turned around to stop him.

Chu Zhengyan’s junior brother followed suit, and he reached out to block Lu Mingshu but was blocked by Yan Wugui, and could only watch her join the fight between Jiang Yuan and the floating cloud gentleman.

“Why are you guys following me everywhere like a dog?” Yan Wugui narrowed his eyes. “Have you guys fallen in love with me ?”

Chu Zhengyan looked at him in confusion, moving forward as he counter-attacked, but Yan Wugui jumped back in no time and look at him in disgust. “Hey, Prince Chu, you might be gay, but I’m 100% straight!”

Chu Zhengyan can’t help but burst out laughing. “What on earth….”

He did indeed look quite feminine. When he was younger, some idiots even mistook him for a girl! But as time passed, and more people knew him as the pretty prince, there wasn’t many that would talk about his appearance right in front of him, and now that Yan Wugui was doing so and claiming that he was gay, Chu Zhengyan wasn’t even angry, but he found it quite funny.

“Hey, hold on!” Yan Wugui blocked his way. “Bro, there are ten places, so please stop following me, alright?”

Chu Zhengyang chuckled and shook his head. “Gentleman Ji, the fight for the top ten is fierce, and I’d happily take down any opponents I can here and now. And from what I know, the Jiangs did not help your family in the aristocratic circle, which shows that you are not that important to them. So why work so hard for them? If you get lost now, I’ll give you everything that the Jiangs gave you and maybe even more afterward.”

However, Yan Wugui look at him, mouth wide open and eyebrows raised as if he was looking at an idiot.

Yan Wugui’s stare made Chu Zhengyan feel like fishing out a mirror to check if there’s anything on his face. “What’s the matter? Does gentleman Ji not trust my words?”

Yan Wugui caressed his nonexistent beard and shook his head. “They say that the four princes are the best out of best. I’m not sure about others, but Prince Chu is….”

“Is what?” Even though Chu Zhengyan had expected the answer to be unpleasant, he couldn’t help but want to hear what he had to say.

“An idiot!” Yan Wugui tip-toed and look down at him. “Changing sides in a war, I’d lose all my reputation! And if I agree to you now, you will think I’m too easy and look down on me! You tell me, if I agree now, who will dare to hire my sister and me next time? Then we will end up jobless just because I am greedy for your thank you gift! Do you think I’m stupid, or are you overestimating yourself?”

While Yan Wugui was talking nonsense with Chu Zhengyan, Lu Mingshu had already entered the fight.

Sword energy was everywhere, alongside with icicles and wind blades.

“Move your feet!” Lu Mingshu stood in front to defend Jiang Yuan and shouted at her.

The clouds rumbled, and soon, a fire arose mid-air and dashed towards Jiang Yuan.

In a rush, Lu Mingshu jumped up with her sword and mystic force surrounded her, the sword light swiftly shot towards the floating cloud gentleman.

With one attack, the wind blades and icicles disappeared into thin air.

The floating cloud gentleman was mostly emotionless, but shock appeared on his face when he saw that.

~Such a powerful technique! Which family is it from? Why have I never seen it before?~

Explosions started occurring mid-air due to the friction between her sword energy and the air. The floating cloud gentleman did not have much time to think left. He rolled up his sleeves and his seal turned even redder. The wind started howling furiously and went right towards Lu Mingshu.

The wind blade clashed with the sword energy, and many “dings” could be heard.

While the two were focused on their fight, Lu Mingshu heard Jiang Yuan scream.

She looked over and look back in shock.

~oh no! The cloud had strengthened its attack, and Jiang Yuan won’t be unable to handle it herself!~

Lu Mingshu recalculated the results. But no matter what method she uses, the result would be tragic. Lu Mingshu bit her lip and turned to Yan Wugui. “Come here!”

Yan Wugui said nothing and forced the Chu brothers to retreat before jumping over to the stone pillar she was at.

“Listen to my commands.” Lu Mingshu said. . “Prince Jiang?”

Jiang Yuan dodged the cloud’s attack while nodding. “Yes!”

“Let’s go in!” Lu Mingshu said to Yan Wugui.

“Okay!”

Both of them disengaged and went into the area where the clouds were attack.

“Boom!” the rumbling of the clouds could be heard.

The Chu brothers rushed over to meet the floating cloud gentleman. Now, it was three against three, and Lu Mingshu and her team still had to deal with the cloud’s attack.

“What are they up to?” Qin Jun’s servant was dumbfounded. “Why did prince Jiang choose to give up her advantage? Gentleman Ji is strong, he could block the Chu brothers and Miss Ji could block the floating cloud gentleman and Prince Jiang would be able to pass successfully, but….”

“It’s not that.” Qin Jun watched the fight in admiration. “You saw how powerful the cloud is, and Jiang Yuan definitely cannot pass through on her own.”

“But this is an unnecessary risk! Compared to that, this is even riskier!”

Qin Jun shook his head. “Seems to be, but they can drag Fu Yun and Chu Zhengyan down with them!”

The rumbling of clouds continued, and a fire started shooting out, paired with many thunderbolts. ~If the floating cloud gentleman and Prince Chu get dragged into this…~ Qin Jun’s servant suddenly looked up to him in admiration. “Young master is indeed smart!” ~In terms of other fields, I may be a better strategizer, but fighting wise, surely nobody can beat my young master!~

“So what if I can tell? The person who made this decision is way smarter!” Qin Jun sighed. ~Why didn’t I meet them earlier?~

Lu Mingshu was surrounded by fire and thunder, but even so, she was clear about what she was doing. She grabbed her sword tightly and yelled. “Let’s go, towards the heaven core!”

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but Lu Mingshu and Yan Wugui had already drabbed her along with them. With the cloud’s thunderball following them, they dash into the heaven core.

“Oh no!” Chu Zhengyan wanted to go forward to block them.

But, the Thunderball blocked his way, and all he could do was to watch them reach the heaven core and disappear.

Chu Zhengyan stopped in his tracks and tsked in annoyance.

When the thunder dispersed, the floating cloud gentleman came out from the fog. “They have already taken the top three places, and we must enter now.”
