Chapter 869: Chapter 865: Weakness

Chu Zhiyuan frowned slightly.

This body protection technique has only one solution: to solve it in one move with overwhelming force.

If it can’t be solved, turn and leave, there’s no need to get entangled.

If you’re unwilling and continue to tangle, the opponent’s defense will only grow stronger.

By that time, the roles reverse, and you’re the one in trouble.

He suddenly changed his fist into a palm and lightly unleashed a Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm.

Cheng Yunzheng’s face changed slightly, and he treated it as a great enemy, concentrating his sword’s light into a singular point, thrusting it straight towards Chu Zhiyuan’s palm.

Chu Zhiyuan neither dodged nor evaded.

”Bang!”

When the sword tip was a foot away from the palm, the advancement halted, and then they separated.

Chu Zhiyuan remained in place.

Cheng Yunzheng flew out, soaring more than ten meters in the air, and stumbled a couple of steps after landing before regaining his balance.

Super Sense continuously observed.

He clearly saw that the palm force of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Palm couldn’t break Cheng Yunzheng’s defense.

The originally penetrating palm force became like an arrow shot into a lake when it reached his invisible force field.

No matter how fast or sharp it was, it still couldn’t penetrate through the lake to reach the bottom.

After regaining his balance, Cheng Yunzheng suddenly chuckled lightly.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him calmly.

Cheng Yunzheng said with a smile, ”Did you think I’m the same as before? Easy to defeat?”

Chu Zhiyuan flashed to Cheng Yunzheng’s front so quickly he couldn’t react.

Several streams of light flew out from his sleeve.

In an instant, they shot towards Cheng Yunzheng’s forehead.

The two were almost touching; at this distance, the eight flying knives landed on his forehead simultaneously.

”Thunk thunk thunk thunk...”

With dull sounds, Cheng Yunzheng retreated continuously.

An invisible force blocked the flying knives and the strong power they carried.

From what Super Sense observed, the invisible shield was operating at high speed, dispersing and transferring the strong power contained in the flying knives into the circulating aura.

Under the impact of the powerful force, the invisible shield gradually took shape.

It seemed like the aura formed by four dragons was revolving around him, spinning rapidly.

The power contained in the flying knives was caught by these four dragons, converted into their own power, making the aura deeper and the four dragons clearer.

”Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle...”

The eight flying knives suspended in the air shot at his forehead again.

He wanted to dodge but couldn’t, only getting continuously hit, retreating repeatedly.

The flying knives were only the size of a finger, as light as a leaf, but the power contained in their blades was not only True Yuan but also strong force.

His protective Spiritual Treasure absorbed and converted the True Yuan but had to retreat to dissipate the pure force.

While retreating, he had a strange smile on his face and even burst out laughing.

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression was solemn.

The eight flying knives hovered in the air, no longer shooting down.

This method truly could not break his defense.

A Spiritual Treasure is indeed just that, a Spiritual Treasure.

With my current power, even with the powerful soul-enhanced flying knives, it still couldn’t break Cheng Yunzheng’s defense.

”Haha...” Cheng Yunzheng laughed out loud, ”Chu Liezhao, how about that?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.

Cheng Yunzheng laughed and said, ”Despair, won’t you? No matter how you fight, it’s useless, haha...”

”A petty man after success.” Chu Zhiyuan said indifferently.

Cheng Yunzheng chuckled, ”I’m a petty man, so what? What can you do to me?”

”Do you really think you’re invincible?” Chu Zhiyuan coldly said.

Cheng Yunzheng replied, ”In this world, only a Spirit Venerable can kill me!”

He smiled proudly, ”Other than that, no one can kill me!”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Driving this Spiritual Treasure must consume a lot, right?”

As far as he knew, the operation of a Spiritual Treasure required consumption, and that consumption was not True Yuan.

My three Spiritual Treasures absorbed the power of the Spiritual Abyss; I wonder what power Cheng Yunzheng’s Spiritual Treasure absorbs.

If it doesn’t have the power of the Spiritual Abyss, then it requires other higher-grade powers like spiritual power, cultivation, or lifespan.

Under Super Sense, he didn’t feel Cheng Yunzheng’s spiritual consumption or decrease in cultivation, so was it lifespan?

Cheng Yunzheng sneered, ”Consumption? Your power can sustain its consumption!”

”That’s impossible,” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”Does it consume lifespan?”

My power can’t completely sustain the Spiritual Treasure’s consumption; it’s disdainful of True Yuan, unwilling to absorb it.

Even if it absorbs True Yuan, due to its low level, it can’t sustain its consumption.

Cheng Yunzheng sneered, ”Ridiculous!”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Then it’s lifespan, interesting, is this life-saving or life-threatening?”

”Chu Liezhao, are you daydreaming? Fine, then see if you can consume my lifespan!”

”As I expected,” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, ”I assume it’s your greatest secret.”

After he finished speaking, the flying knives descended and shot down again.

”Seeking death!”

Cheng Yunzheng swung his sword to meet the flying knives, charging at Chu Zhiyuan.

He absolutely wouldn’t accept pure defense.

The Nine Dragon Shield indeed needed power consumption, and indeed it was lifespan.

However, compared to having the defense breached, losing a bit of lifespan was nothing.

Never would I have thought this deeply hidden secret would be discovered by Chu Liezhao.

How does Chu Liezhao know?

One must know that Spiritual Treasures are extremely rare, with very few in existence.

As far as I know, except for Wentian Pavilion’s Fengtian Palace Observatory, only the top sects of each Dynasty have them.

Chu Liezhao, a mere Ninth Prince, even as the Twelfth Prince Consort, could not possibly have a Spiritual Treasure.

He might never have seen a Spiritual Treasure, so how does he know this secret?

The flying knives continuously attacked his forehead.

The strong force on the knives continuously disrupted his movement technique, greatly weakening the power of his Swordsmanship, and preventing him from touching Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan stood with hands behind his back, indifferently said, ”Fighting like this, will you die under your own Treasure?”

Cheng Yunzheng continued swinging his sword while sneering, ”You’re overestimating yourself!”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Only defense, with no Swordsmanship, can only take the hits.”

Cheng Yunzheng was immensely annoyed.

A deep sense of powerlessness rose within him.

In front of Chu Zhiyuan, I seemed clumsy, only taking hits and unable to hit him.

This feeling was indeed unpleasant.

Even if I could defend, this powerlessness couldn’t be eliminated.

”Brother, you should leave first.” A gentle voice came from the carriage.

Cheng Yunzheng was taken aback.

Chu Zhiyuan turned to look at the carriage, chuckling lightly, ”Good idea, Thirteenth Prince.”

As long as Cheng Yunzheng pushes forward and rushes into the Phoenix Imperial City, I can only stop the attack.

I certainly can’t attack the Yuanzhen Mission in front of the Court, as it would disgrace the Phoenix Court.

Cheng Yunzheng gritted his teeth, ”Then I’ll leave!”

He turned and ran, and even the continuous flying knife attacks couldn’t stop his advance.

The flying knife assaults could only slow him down, but couldn’t bring him to a halt.

Chu Zhiyuan stood with hands behind his back, yet the flying knives relentlessly chased after him.

The carriage door was pushed open, and two elegant maids got off the carriage, assisting an exquisitely dressed beauty down. Indeed

She was less charming than Li Miaotan and Xiao Ruoling, but she was stunning and radiant, making it hard to look directly.

She had a straight nose and big eyes, sparkling with light, full of vitality and glamour.

She bowed slightly, smiling lightly, ”The Ninth Prince lives up to his reputation.”

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands, ”I shall take my leave first.”

After speaking, he gave her no chance to speak further, gracefully retreated, and vanished from her sight in a blink.

This Thirteenth Princess is certainly no docile character; whether it’s a blessing or a curse for the Third Prince to marry her, who knows.

Greeting briefly as a courtesy to the Third Prince, it’s best not to say more to avoid gossip and cause a rift with the Third Prince.
