Chapter 1152: Chapter 1153: The Palace Opens
Seeing Chu Fengmian mercilessly kill Prince Ba with one move, the martial artists present felt a chilling sensation in their hearts.
Chu Fengmian’s madness surpassed anything they had imagined.
"You..."
The Fourth Prince stared at Chu Fengmian, momentarily at a loss for words.
Especially as Prince Ba was killed in one move by Chu Fengmian, which was completely beyond his expectations.
"Very well, Chu Fengmian, from this day on, you are a wanted criminal of the Divine Dragon Empire. Anyone who can kill this man will receive a reward from our Divine Dragon Empire!"
"A threat?"
Hearing the words of the Fourth Prince, Chu Fengmian’s eyes changed, and he suddenly took action.
"Then you shall die as well."
From above Chu Fengmian’s head, the War Dragon’s Claw suddenly charged toward the direction of the Fourth Prince, ready to kill.
For a moment, the violent power swept across.
This sudden move was something no one present had expected. Chu Fengmian was not only daring to kill the Fourth Prince’s people, but now he even dared to make a move to kill the Fourth Prince himself.
The Fourth Prince’s status was even more distinguished than that of someone like Young Master Bai, and yet Chu Fengmian now dared to kill him.
"Junior, you’ve gone too far!"
The Prince Wei, standing beside the Fourth Prince, shouted angrily, his eyes turned cold, and he moved simultaneously.
A golden light blocked in front of the Fourth Prince, instantly transforming into a golden pagoda that enveloped the Fourth Prince and his entourage.
This golden pagoda, once manifested, shattered the power of the War Dragon’s Claw. Prince Wei looked at Chu Fengmian and slowly spoke.
"A word of advice, boy: being too rigid will break you. Even though you possess some strength, compared to the Divine Dragon Empire, you are nothing more than an ant. Even a true emperor can be easily crushed by the Divine Dragon Empire. I advise you, young man, not to be too arrogant."
"Is that so? Too rigid will break? I only know an eye for an eye."
Chu Fengmian said casually.
"Since the Fourth Prince dares to threaten me, he must pay the price. None of you will escape today; all of you must die!"
"Just a minor quasi-emperor, killing you is as simple as swatting an ant!"
Chu Fengmian’s eyes became cold as he looked at Prince Wei. From his palm, a Spirit Sword suddenly unsheathed; there was no need to hide anything now.
The Sword Intent soared to the sky, converging on Chu Fengmian, while the power of the Giant Que Sword also augmented Chu Fengmian’s body. Now, Chu Fengmian was no longer at the Destiny Realm but had already reached the power of the Heavenly Realm.
The momentum on his body expanded exponentially, and the Sword Intent of the Sword God Realm was already enhancing Chu Fengmian’s Sword Edge.
"Sword!"
Chu Fengmian said a word clearly, and the Sword Edge in his hand moved. Wherever the Sword Edge cut, the golden pagoda resounded with a booming sound. With the eruption of power, a breach was suddenly created, and in the next moment, the pagoda was entirely shattered.
This golden pagoda was also a Heavenly-level Spiritual Artifact, the greatest treasure in Prince Wei’s hands, but under the Sword Edge of the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword, it was shattered on the spot.
Behind the golden pagoda, those from the Dragon Clan beside the Fourth Prince were slaughtered by the Sword Edge. Bodies shattered, turning into pure blood energy, which Chu Fengmian directly absorbed before being devoured by the Divine Tree.
The essence blood of these Dragon Clan members contained much more power than that of ordinary martial artists. As the Divine Tree devoured them, Chu Fengmian’s aura climbed steeply.
With this sword, only the Fourth Prince and Prince Wei remained of his entourage. Prince Wei had just used his body to shield the Fourth Prince, enduring the blow.
But despite this, the fragmentation of the golden pagoda caused backlash, inflicting serious injuries on Prince Wei.
"The Golden Dragon Pagoda was shattered like this by a single sword?"
"The Spiritual Sword in this person’s hand is extraordinary; the power on it is pure Dragon Power, not even found among the Spiritual Artifacts of the Divine Dragon Empire."
"Could this person have obtained some ancient Dragon Clan heritage?"
Young Master Bai, Senior Brother Wang from the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and several strong ones suddenly noticed the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword in Chu Fengmian’s hand.
It was impossible for Chu Fengmian to shatter the Golden Dragon Pagoda by sheer force alone, but the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword in his hand contained an extremely pure Dragon Power, exerting a great suppressive effect on the Golden Dragon Pagoda.
Only with this sword was the Golden Dragon Pagoda shattered.
"Die!"
Chu Fengmian coldly shouted the word, his Sword Edge moving, with the power and pure killing intent. The power of Sky Slaughter Swordsmanship was mobilized, and the Heaven Slaying Sword was unleashed.
"Save the Fourth Prince!"
At that moment, suddenly, several streams of Spiritual Power erupted violently, all rushing towards Chu Fengmian.
Among these streams of Spiritual Power, the two that led the charge were Young Master Bai and Senior Brother Wang from the Five Mountains Sword Sect. They both launched an attack on Chu Fengmian with a Sword Light and a surge of Spiritual Power.
The principle of shared danger was clear to them. If the Fourth Prince and Prince Wei died at the hands of Chu Fengmian now, Chu Fengmian would truly become invincible.
Besides them, four other quasi-emperors also made their move simultaneously, clearly having been dormant on the sidelines. Upon witnessing Chu Fengmian’s power, they couldn’t resist joining the fray.
Now, killing quasi-emperors seemed effortless for Chu Fengmian, pressuring them immensely.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, they attacked collectively. Even if they couldn’t kill Chu Fengmian, they aimed to severely injure him, preventing him from obtaining the treasure of the Sky Slaughtering Beast.
Unbeknownst to them, these powerful figures had already joined forces to target Chu Fengmian.
However, Chu Fengmian showed no fear at all, with a hint of excitement on his face.
"Come on, come, whoever dares to stop me will be swept away by me!"
Chu Fengmian laughed heartily, pushing his power to the extreme, ready to erupt into an unprecedented battle in the next moment.
But just then, a blinding light suddenly covered the scene, accompanied by a burst of skyward blood energy.
This skyward blood energy emanated from the palace, and the large bronze door outside the palace slowly opened. The blood energy within could no longer be contained and erupted.
"The treasure has opened!"
"The treasure of the Sky Slaughtering Beast!"
"Quick, let’s enter quickly!"
Countless onlookers, who were initially watching the spectacle, shifted their focus upon the treasure’s opening, rushing towards the palace.
