Chapter 748: Swatted to Pieces
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When the empress lifted her hand and struck, everyone felt as if the mountains were splitting open.
With an ordinary looking body, she was actually able to strike with such force and ferocity.
If she were to hit someone with this might, that person would probably be scared sh*tless.
However, that Bor didn’t seem to care much about this and instead asked, “Aren’t you Chen Ergou?”
He moved backward at an extremely fast speed. His body seemed as light as a feather as he moved to the stone wall at the entrance of the cave. He leaned against the stone wall and climbed up the wall like a lizard with a few steps.
The empress followed with her fist striking the entrance of the cave.
Boom!
Dust and debris flew all over.
The entrance of the cave crumbled as the empress struck it from the side. She then used her fist to strike at the top of the entrance.
The entrance to the cave was completely blocked.
Ren Baqian watched from afar and liked what he saw.
This way, those jade-waisted slaves wouldn’t be coming out anymore.
It would be much easier to deal with just Bor alone.
Bor noticed the empress’s actions, looked over, and said, “You are neither Chen Fugui nor Chen Ergou. What’s your name?”
She collapsed the cave and continued to launch attack after attack at him.
Bor simply moved about very quickly on the mountain cliffs. He leaned against the cliff face as if he was stuck to it. By the looks of it, he had climbed about 80 meters up the mountain with the empress closely following behind.
The sounds of her fists smashing against the mountain rang incessantly in the ear.
As her fists smashed into the mountain, many big and small holes appeared on the originally smooth mountain cliffs, creating many landing spots.
The empress didn’t use any weapon because her precious hands could match up to any weapon.
No matter what kind of enemies she faced, none of them could withstand the force of her seemingly weak and gentle hands.
Since Bor was born in a different tribe and had been in hiding the entire time, he couldn’t tell the depth of this.
However, his speed was extremely fast, probably even faster than the empress’s current state. No matter how hard she chased after him, she would still fall slightly behind him.
Besides, he was still moving around with his back against the mountain cliffs, and this was evidence that he didn’t care much about the empress’s strength.
“Actually, her name is Zi Xia, and my name is Zhi Zunbao,” Ren Baqian said as he stood up from the ground.
Bor looked at him and flew into a rage, saying, “You are lying!”
Ren Baqian tilted his head. This man probably interacted with people rarely and didn’t know how to deal with them.
However, on second thought, there were only slightly more than 30 people from his tribe in this area. Furthermore, each of them had their own territories, and it would be hard for them to even have the opportunity to interact with someone else!
“I’m not lying to you. We used to be called Chen Ergou and Cheng Fugui. However, we met a master afterward. He felt that our names didn’t sound nice and gave us other names instead. Now, I’m called Zhi Zunbao and she’s called Zi Xia!”
“Nonsense! Names are fixed and linked to our body’s mechanisms. Both of you showed no reactions when I called your names. You are lying to me!” Bor raged.
Ren Baqian actually didn’t know about this relation. How could a person’s name be linked to their body’s mechanisms?
After pondering for some time, he felt that this actually made some sense.
For instance, when someone called out your name, you would naturally think that he was calling you, and there definitely would be some sort of reaction in your mind. In addition to some other things that he might not know about, these probably made up the mechanisms that Bor mentioned.
“Why did you ask for our names?” Ren Baqian asked.
“Zi Xia!” Bor’s compound eyes shone brightly as he shouted at the empress.
She responded by throwing her fist at him.
“You lied to me again!” Bor grew even more enraged.
Ren Baqian grinned and asked, “Why did you ask for our names? What kind of unorthodox method are you using?”
“Hmph, I… I naturally won’t tell you,” Bor replied as he dodged the empress’s attacks. He stuttered a little, swallowing back the words that he had almost spilled out.
Seeing that he still had the energy to speak, the empress became even angrier as her entire face was covered with purple veins.
In the blink of an eye, these veins extended from her face to the lower parts of her body. They covered her entire body and extended toward her limbs.
In just a few seconds, the empress’s entire body was covered with purple veins while her eyes began to turn red as well. Her vigor was overpowering. Both her strength and speed had increased by more than one fold.
Bor could no longer stay relaxed at this moment. He didn’t expect the empress to power up so much and quickly blew into the piece of bone in his hands.
After a few fleeting sounds, rustling noises started to come from the cave.
It sounded like rocks rubbing against each other.
Upon seeing this, Ren Baqian felt like reaching for his back. Unfortunately, as he was supposed to be out with the empress for a walk, he didn’t bring anything with him.
Even if he had brought along some stink bombs, they wouldn’t necessarily have any effect on those jade-waisted slaves.
He pensively watched as the silhouettes of the two figures dashed around swiftly across the mountain cliffs and hoped that the empress would be a little faster now.
The demonic butterflies had wings that were as sharp as blades, and there was no telling if they had any other abilities. The obstructed cave entrance might not be able to contain them for long.
Rumbling noises resonated nonstop across the mountain cliffs as these places exploded after the duo flitted past. It was as if bombs had been set off.
Around half of the mountain cliffs, the air was filled with dust. Watching from below, Ren Baqian had to constantly wave his hand to disperse the dust.
He turned to look at Bor and suddenly shouted, “Bor, let’s see whether your eyes or my sleeves are stronger. Let’s see if you dare to stop and respond when I call out your name!”
“I will respond to you even if I don’t stop!” Bor was fleeing in disarray as the empress chased him around. Even so, he couldn’t help but respond to Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian was at the edge of laughing. Even though this man was the enemy, he was still adorably foolish…
“If you don’t stop, I can’t display the prowess of my sleeves!” Ren Baqian replied.
At present, he was wearing baggy, Hawaiian-style pants and a long sleeve t-shirt. The sleeves were short, so he intentionally withdrew his arms into his shirt to let the sleeves flutter in the wind.
“I’ll stop if you make her stop!” Bor shouted, almost allowing the empress to catch up to him. Falling rocks struck his body as spots of purple appeared on his green skin.
“I will count to three and both of you will stop at the same time!” Ren Baqian answered.
“Okay!” Bor quickly replied.
At present, the rustling noise within the cave grew louder.
“One…”
“Two…”
Ren Baqian watched the two of them and wonder if Bor would be foolish enough to stop.
If that were the case, things would be much easier.
“Three!”
As soon as this was said…
Boom!
Both of them stopped at almost the same time.
Bor stuck to the mountain cliffs as he panted heavily. Meanwhile, the empress stood on one foot in one of the landings that she had created with her fists and stared viciously at him.
Ren Baqian was instantly dumbstruck!
Why did the empress stop?
When she glanced over at him, her eyes were blood-red. She looked as if she was suppressing her frenzy.
Ren Baqian took a few glances at the empress before turning to look at Bor… He was feeling a bit stunned.
“Be quick! I want to compete and see whether my eyes or your sleeves are stronger!” Bor shouted as he leaned against the side of the mountain. His voice sounded pretty rough.
It seemed that other than speed, his tribe wasn’t too proficient in other aspects.
Or at least not in terms of physical strength.
Ren Baqian took another glance at the empress, throwing her a look that said, “Your Majesty, why did you stop?”
However, he didn’t voice out his intentions. If he said it out loud, Bor would probably start running again.
All he could do was hope that the empress understood his intentions!
Ren Baqian swung his sleeves about and said, “Bor, I dare you to answer when I call your name!”
“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Bor breathed heavily as he replied.
“Bor!” Ren Baqian shouted loudly.
“That’s me!”
“Do it!”
Ren Baqian and Bor shouted these words at the same time.
The empress got Ren Baqian’s cue when he shouted and quickly pounced over.
Bor’s words landed immediately after.
Like swatting a fly, the empress’s palm swung and smacked Bor down from the mountain side.
A mist of blood exploded in midair.
Almost half of Bor’s body had been destroyed by the empress.
Her hand was stained with blood, blood that was blue!
The bloody mist in the air was blue as well!
