"Eh? My beloved..."
The Emperor was pushed into the air by Empress Joanna, and his face showed disbelief. He cried out in shock as he crashed heavily onto the rocks tens of meters away. A jade pendant on the Emperor's body shattered, releasing a spiritual light that protected him from harm.
This jade pendant activated in response to a threat and could withstand a full-force attack from someone of the Sixth Great Realm. Every emperor in the Great Wu Dynasty had carried it. However, Empress Joanna was of the Seventh Level, and her casual push was actually a powerful attack from a Seventh Level cultivator, snuffing out the protective spiritual light instantly. The Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood, his back a torn mess of flesh, and the rocks beneath him crumbled.
