Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Envious? Jealous?

A huge pressure condensed on the frost sword, and suddenly—

Zap!

Thin rays of electricity moved along the frost sword.

A distant, icy, restless, forceful, and unstoppable powerful aura came out of Lou Qianxue, and the audience under the stage had to struggle to stand.

The air distorted as if the glow from the sword had cut it open.

Everyone widened their eyes in shock and fright. They were sure that this glow could easily claim their lives.

Whoosh!

The glowing sword that contained the ice inscription pattern and the lightning sword intent crashed toward Lou Xingchen as the crowd trembled in fear.

“Hmph!” Lou Xingchen had seen the power of the lightning form in Baicao Garden, and her face turned pale. However, she knew what to do next. Instead of dodging, she stubbornly raised her head, forced herself to stay calm, and hummed.

Boom!

The sword finally struck its target.

The ground shook from the force of the impact and cracked.

However...

Screech!

The long sword generated an ear-piercing screech. At the same time, Lou Xingchen’s body exuded a bright white glow.

“Mm?” Lou Qianxue’s expression changed.

“What an impressive strike!”

“Gosh! This is so scary! If it were me, I’d have died!”

The audience’s faces flushed in excitement. “This battle exceeds the level of the Spiritual realm! It is so exciting!”

On the elevated ground, Jiang Suying stood up in worry. The Prefectural Governor frowned at her. “Xingchen is someone in the good graces of Young Master Zhu. How could she be defeated so easily?”

As he spoke, he looked at an elder dressed in black standing under the ring.

The elder, named Elder Hong, was the expert of the Mystic Martial realm that Young Master Zhu, one of the eight young masters of the Tian Zhou Dynasty, had appointed for guarding Lou XIngchen.

“How about it, Lou Qianxue. Your so-called ‘lightning form’ has no effect on me. Are you surprised?” A thin layer of sweat appeared on Lou Xingchen’s forehead, yet she displayed a crazy and proud expression.

Since she had exerted too strong of a force in her strike, Lou Qianxue’s fingers trembled while holding the Frost Sword. She frowned as she stared at the white light surrounding Lou Xingchen. “Defensive armor?”

The question surprised Lou Xingchen, and she spoke, “I didn’t expect you to know about defensive armor. That’s right, this thing on my body is a Holy Light armor with five Holy Light Inscriptions. These inscriptions purify all attacks below the Mystic Martial Realm. Unless you know heavenly martial arts, it’s impossible to break my armor!”

“I see.” Lou Qianxue nodded. “That Young Master Zhu gave you such a great thing. It seems like he really dotes on you.”

“You know of Young Master Zhu as well? Feeling envious? Jealous? Sadly, your envy won’t help you in any way, and Young Master Zhu would not fall for you. Only a phoenix is compatible with a dragon.”

“Envious? What a joke!” Lou Qianxue deliberately stalled, and the trembling of her fingers had stopped. “I, Lou Qianxue, am not as low as you that I would use my body to please men for receiving cultivation resources!”

“You!” The insult infuriated Lou XIngchen, and her face turned red from anger. “You deserve to die! Lou Qianxue, do you think that only you have Spirit Items?”

Her ears had turned bloodshot red. With a flash of light on her finger, a blue long sword appeared in her hands.

“Spatial ring! Lou Xingchen has a spatial ring!”

“And Spirit Items!”

“What does this paramount to? Didn’t you see that she even has defensive armor, an incredibly rare object?”

Everyone in the crowd looked at her with an envious gaze. “Is the Young Master Zhu that they are talking about the Young Master Zhu from one of the five renowned families of the Imperial City? I’m afraid that he is the only one who can be so gracious. Lou Xingchen is so lucky to be favored by him!”

The discussion was going one when—
