Chapter 640: The Power of the Human Emperor!

Feng Wuji was still in a daze, seeing the people around him seemingly laughing at him. He quickly took out a mirror and glanced at his reflection. Almost dropping the mirror, he exclaimed, "Who is this monster?

"Although the face is a bit swollen and puffy, you can still faintly see a hint of handsomeness," he muttered to himself.

Ling Feng, barely holding back his laughter, gave Feng Wuji a thumbs up. "Young Master Feng, it seems you are indeed quite handsome!"

This time, even Feng Wuji wasn't foolish enough to miss the sarcasm. He realized that Ling Feng was avenging himself by turning him into a pig-faced mess.

"You... You dare humiliate me like this, you brat!?" Feng Wuji snarled, baring his teeth. He clenched his fist, ready to teach Ling Feng a lesson, but Xiahou Lie immediately pressed him back into place.

"Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough already?" Xiahou Lie scolded, glaring fiercely at Feng Wuji. "Get out of my sight!"

Feng Wuji clenched his fist tightly, his heart filled with resentment. Even though he was unwilling to back down, he could only retreat to the side, glaring at Ling Feng with gritted teeth while vowing silently,

This isn't over yet!

At that moment, Xiahou Lie's face darkened even more as his gaze locked onto Ling Feng. "You fool!" He roared, his anger barely contained. "Do you think I can't see through your little tricks?"

His voice thundered like a storm, causing everyone's eardrums to hurt.

It was clear to anyone present that Xiahou Lie was furious beyond measure. If it weren't for the fact that they were in the territory of the Tianbai Empire, Xiahou Lie would have probably crushed Ling Feng into dust with one slap.

"What tricks?" Ling Feng asked innocently. "It was Young Master Feng himself who begged me to hit him! The request may have been a bit ridiculous, but I was happy to oblige."

"You scoundrel!" Feng Wuji almost jumped out of his skin upon hearing Ling Feng's words. If it weren't for Jiang Biyi's scheme, which had left him itching unbearably, how could he have suffered such humiliation?

"Shut up! You've already disgraced the empire enough!"

Xiahou Lie glared at Feng Wuji, and his meaning was very clear:

I'll settle the score with you later!

Turning away from Feng Wuji, Xiahou Lie ordered his guards, "Seize these three troublemakers! No one is allowed to insult the children of the Tianyang Empire like this!"

"Wait!"

At that moment, Wen Tingguang stepped forward, standing between Ling Feng and Xiahou Lie. He clasped his hands in a formal salute, saying, "General Xiahou, this is just a minor dispute between juniors. Isn't it beneath you as a general to intervene?"

"

Hmph!

" Xiahou Lie scoffed. "These three troublemakers are clearly here to cause trouble! Elder Wen, do you want me to report to the emperor upon my return to the Tianyang Empire that the Tianbai Empire has no interest in continuing our friendship and is looking to start a war?"

"

Uh—?

" Wen Tingguang was momentarily stunned.

Xiahou Lie is indeed a difficult man to deal with.

"

Hehe.

" Amid the tense atmosphere, Jiang Biyi was the only one acting as if nothing was wrong. She casually patted Ling Feng on the back, smiling mischievously, "

Hey,

bad guy, that punch you threw just now looked really satisfying,

huh?

"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and glared at her. "I'll deal with you later!"

Jiang Biyi stuck out her tongue playfully. "What's the big deal? Don't worry about it."

Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile.

This woman is so carefree. She definitely has some sort of powerful backing.

Jiang Biyi casually picked up a plate of pastries from a nearby table and handed it to Ling Feng with a grin. "

Hey,

bad guy, want some? My treat."

Ling Feng laughed softly. "Pretty sure those pastries aren't yours."

"Why do you care?" She pouted. "I'm offering you an apology here, and you're being all picky!"

𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Ling Feng's mouth twitched.

This is what you call an apology? Your attitude is a bit too sincere huh!

Damn it!

At that moment, all the guests in the hall were dumbfounded, watching the two of them.

The two empires are on the verge of war, and these two are flirting without a care in the world?

How big of a heart do these two have?

Seeing Ling Feng and Jiang Biyi's indifferent attitude, Xiahou Lie's anger flared even higher. "You fools! Are you even listening to me?!"

"

Bah!

Why should we listen to you?" Jiang Biyi huffed, putting her hands on her hips. She showed no fear as she stared at Xiahou Lie, biting her lip in defiance. "He started it by provoking me first. We did nothing wrong!"

"You stubborn brat!" Xiahou Lie growled as flames flickered in his palm, ready to strike Jiang Biyi in the chest.

If that blow landed, Jiang Biyi would be instantly reduced to a bloody mist!

"Damn it!" Ling Feng clenched his fists. Though he wasn't close with Jiang Biyi, he couldn't just watch her die right in front of him.

Ye Xingnan, meanwhile, was drenched in cold sweat. This girl feared nothing and no one, but she seemed to forget that they weren't in the Sacred Land anymore, where no one dared harm her.

"General Xiahou!" Wen Tingguang quickly intervened, but unfortunately, his cultivation level was far lower than Xiahou Lie's, so he couldn't stop him.

Just as everyone thought that Jiang Biyi was about to meet her end, a soft white light began to glow from within her. The gentle light enveloped her, blocking Xiahou Lie's strike and even pushing him back several steps.

"Wha—" Xiahou Lie's eyes twitched uncontrollably.

How could this little girl possess such formidable power?

"Wow! So, this jade pendant she gave me is actually this powerful!" Jiang Biyi beamed as she pulled out a white jade pendant from her chest.

"

Phew...

" Ye Xingnan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that their master had given Jiang Biyi a life-saving charm.

She had almost died at the hands of a mere Transformation Realm martial artist, so it was no wonder their master had given her the jade pendant to protect her.

"Who are you, really?" Xiahou Lie asked, his fists clenched as he stared at Jiang Biyi with his teeth grinding in frustration.

Being forced back by a mere girl in front of everyone was a humiliation he couldn't stand.

"None of your business!" Jiang Biyi said as she stuck out her tongue again and pulled Ling Feng by the hand. "Come on, bad guy, let's go. We don't need to pay attention to this bearded man!"

"Stop right there!" Xiahou Lie's eyes blazed with fury. While he could overlook Jiang Biyi, he wasn't about to let Ling Feng off so easily.

However, just as he was about to make his move, a shadow shot out from the void, blocking his path. Like an impenetrable wall, the figure stood in front of Xiahou Lie, preventing him from taking even a single step forward.

"

Hiss...

"

The crowd collectively gasped. The aura emanating from this figure was unmistakable. It was the presence of a human emperor expert!
