The Steward Demonic Emperor

palm and wreaked havoc in her body.

 

With a sharp sound, the icy shield collapsed and ten fierce blows hammered her body, sending her flying.

 

She shot through the poison cloud and into the ground.
The blood she spat tinted the ground in eerie colors. 

 

This was the worst outcome.

 

Grandmother was heavily wounded and poisoned by the Rainbow Cloud Palm.

 

Pff!

 

Puffing out more blood, Grandmother glared at the two above with endless hatred, “Merry Woods’ profound ranked martial art, Empty Cloud Art!”

 

“Our Empty Cloud Art is based on speed, splitting an attack into several blows to tear up your insides.
The more advanced the cultivation, the more splits.
You may have ice protecting you, but not even that can block all of them.
I have managed to unleash twenty splits, ha-ha-ha..”

 

Lin Rufeng laughed in pride.

 

The overseers rushed at Grandmother’s side, giving a hateful glare at the two lords above, “You no good two-bit filthy scumbags! Is that how a house lord acts nowadays, stabbing people in the back?”

 

“Oh, no, no, no.
Didn’t I say that already? This is a coalition of three houses; anything goes.
Besides, us two work great together and we haven’t even surrounded you with our forces yet.
What’s wrong with that?” Yan Bogong snickered.

 

The women’s eyes spat fire from all the rage boiling in their hearts.

 

Grandmother panted, finding it hard to even speak, “Take me back, now!”

 

Yan Bogong snickered, “You won’t get away that easy.
Attack! Their head is down.
It’s the perfect moment to take them all down!”

 

“Understood!”

 

The sea of people came in like a tide.

 

The overseers rushed to get Grandmother back to safety.
But Yan Bogong’s team of two was faster, making a sinister strike at the retreating Grandmother.

 

Take her out of the picture and the Drifting Flowers Edifices would follow.

 

The other women rushed to defend her.

 

The overseers stood no chance in front of two house lords.
They were dead in one blow, unable to stall one second.

 

Two more turned back to attack, but Grandmother stopped them.

 

“Grandmother!” They all cried.

 

Grandmother sighed, “I won’t be able to survive this but you are the future of Drifting Flowers Edifices.
Go, withdraw.
Let Iris become the Edifice Lord.
I will hold them off!”

 

“Grandmother, no!” They all teared up in sadness.

 

Grandmother barked, “You bunch of ignorant girls, how can you not see what’s in front? I have to hold them back or we’ll all die.
Go back and wait.
We will get our chance when support comes…”

 

Grandmother trailed off.

 

Not even she was certain that Drifting Flowers Edifices could come out alive, but held on to hope still.

 

The women saw the steel gaze of Grandmother and despite their distress, they nodded and withdrew to Drifting Flowers City.

 

Grandmother showed a clear smile, watching them go, “Silly girls, take care…”

 

“Ha-ha-ha, Chu Bijun, you should care about yourself first!”

 

The two closed in, Yan Bogong’s creepy voice reaching her ears. 

 

Grandmother had a cold smile, her mind set, “Humph, Yan Bogong, Lin Rufeng, as long as there’s one breath left in this body, you will never tread one step in Drifting Flowers Edifices!”

 

Grandmother flew high at the two.

 

The two met her fearlessly.
She had the Lady of Steel moniker, but with how downtrodden she was from that last blow, they wouldn’t qualify as house lords if they backed off now.

 

With a bang, the two sides clashed.

 

The shock wave turned everything around them to dust.
The two kept on attacking, even as Grandmother was spurting blood and lost consciousness.

 

Her frail and damaged body slammed into the ground.

 

“Grandmother!”

 

The women shed tears of pain, at their helplessness and their weakness.

 

Yan Bogong walked over and struck again, “Ha-ha-ha, the great Lady of Steel’s head is mine for the taking!”

 

Something shot straight for Yan Bogong.

 

He squinted and looked shocked.
