XH 212 - Long Zhu wielding his bamboo stick

Long Shan's confidence dropped like a quicksand as the fight continues on. Originally, he was confident of his upper fourth rank cultivation and being the strongest among his peers. Not even the 20th Emperor of Guilin was his match. 

But the Third Prince's cultivation rank was even higher than theirs!

Long Shan could not accurately gauge his rank, but it was high enough that he does not need a lethal weapon to deal with them. In the Third Prince's hand was a long bamboo stick that fit well in his hands.

Much to Long Shan's humiliation, his skills in swords was like a child's play compared to Long Zhu wielding his bamboo stick! He does not need to get close to him to attack as his bamboo pole was long, but that was not the case for Long Shan with his sword!

He could not even get close to him!

For him to be defeated by a bamboo stick was a great humiliation! Yet when that stick was pointed at him, Long Shan always sensed danger from it, similar to how an expert master holding a sword with great intent. 

Liu Chu Chu controlled her Qi and formed water needles, sending them straight to the Third Prince. They were easily dodged and hit the wall with a small thud sounds, drilling holes into it. As the Third Prince dodged, he did not forget giving Long Shan a smack with his bamboo pole before switching targets.

The pain nearly had Long Shan loosen his grip on his sword. The ice formed around his sword cracked from the amount of force behind the bamboo stick. He gritted his teeth and withstand the pain on his arm to help out his wife that was overly pressured by the Third Prince. 

Long Shan knew that they were at a disadvantage when the Third Prince finally revealed his true strength that completely overwhelmed the golden couple. But he had yet to find a chance to escape with Liu Chu Chu. 

Among the couple, it was Liu Chu Chu that suffered the most injuries. No one knows if it was because Long Shan was two rank higher than her or if she was the easier target, but the Third Prince love to hit her at every weak point she revealed.

The fight had not gone long, but Liu Chu Chu's appearance was a mess as if she had travelled for days without baths. Her hair was soaked with sweat, sticking onto her skin. Her clothes were dishelieved from the barrage of attacks as she failed to counter most of it. Her makeup, especially her red lips, were smeared and mostly transferred to her sleeves, giving her the appearance of a clown. 

That was because Long Zhu would attack her face and she used her arms to block when she could not dodge. Once she used her arms to block, her arm would press onto her face when her arms could not withstand the blow. 

The bitterness inside Long Zhu's heart was satisfied seeing the originally charming looking beauty became a ugly mess. His naive self truly have bad eyesight. 

He was enraged when saw his Mother Empress weak in pain, in the arms of Xin Lin, that successfully escaped from the court hall. The other three maid servants were dead, leaving Xin Lin as the only survived inner maid of the Empress. The doctor diagnosed that the child inside her stomach might not survive. It was the philosophical shock and the agile movements the Empress had used to protect herself earlier that harmed the fetus.

Long Zhu wanted to just kill them all outright, regardless of the consequences, but An Jing quickly appeased him. 

If Long Zhu used his plants, he would unearth everything and collapsed the building and sealed the private prison, so that idea was out.
