Chapter 221: Chapter 143: A Prince’s Title, a Heavenly Decree, a Stomp to Death

At this moment.

Eunuch Chen, covered in wounds and tied to a cross, was about to be executed.

Just then.

He suddenly raised his head. When he saw Wang Xiao walking toward him, his pupils constricted, and he spoke in a grief-stricken tone:

"Y-Your Highness, you shouldn’t have come! You shouldn’t have come! This old servant is over eighty. I don’t have many years left. Why did you have to come back here to die for my sake!"

In his eyes, even though Wang Xiao commanded an army of a million, the moment he returned to the Capital City, he was walking to his death.

How could a mortal possibly contend with a Cultivator?

Just then.

A handsome, sharp-featured figure slowly walked out of the Dharma Tower behind them:

"Eunuch Chen, listen to yourself. If he didn’t come, would he still be my sentimental, righteous ninth brother?"

"Heh. Without this much courage, how could he have made all those border generals submit to him in a mere ten years?"

"Oh, ninth brother, ninth brother. You’ve truly managed to impress me. For a mere mortal to come this far... you have every right to be proud."

Wang Xiao looked at Liu Yongxiao and shook his head:

"You were born a prince, your word was law. You could crush anyone you pleased."

"But have you ever considered that one day, you might be the one who gets crushed?!"

Liu Yongxiao narrowed his eyes:

"Heh. And who’s going to do it? You? Or that True Form Realm maid by your side?!"

"What a shame. A single True Form Realm Cultivator isn’t nearly enough to save your life!"

As his voice fell.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH—

One figure after another flew out from all directions of the execution ground, landing around Wang Xiao and Shangguan Xiyue.

These were all True Disciples from the Vast Immortal Sect, whom Liu Yongxiao had summoned at great cost to deal with Wang Xiao.

"Let’s just get this over with. Four True Disciples teaming up to deal with a mortal and a True Form Realm Loose Cultivator... if word of this gets out, we’ll be laughed to death."

"Tell me about it. Junior brothers, leave that True Form Realm Loose Cultivator alive. I’ll take her back to be my cauldron. A Loose Cultivator like her, following a mere mortal... what a waste."

"Heh, Senior Brother Xiahou, you certainly have your refined tastes."

Shangguan Xiyue arched an eyebrow. "My Lord, I can barely restrain myself from killing them!"

Wang Xiao said calmly, "Be careful. Don’t harm the surrounding civilians."

"Mm."

A lunar radiance emanated from Shangguan Xiyue as immense Spiritual Power erupted from her. She flicked her finger.

The lunar radiance coalesced into a dazzling beam of light, shooting toward the man who had just spoken of taking her as a cauldron!

Seeing this, the others immediately besieged Shangguan Xiyue, holding nothing back.

RUMBLE!

Rampant Spiritual Power raged outward, causing the surrounding ground to heave and churn like a surfacing dragon, surging like a tidal wave.

However, Shangguan Xiyue released a brilliant light, preventing the aftershocks from spreading.

"Ninth brother, you really are a lucky man. Your maid’s strength would rank her in the upper tier, even among the True Disciples of the Vast Immortal Sect."

Liu Yongxiao glanced at the not-so-distant battlefield and remarked with a sigh.

Wang Xiao’s tone was placid. "Tell me, if I were to kill you right now, would your master intervene?"

His Divine Thought had already swept through the area, and he had long since sensed the presence of an extremely powerful Cultivator in the Imperial City.

’It must be Liu Yongxiao’s Immortal King master.’

"Oh? So you know my master is here. It seems the power you’ve built in secret is even greater than I imagined." Liu Yongxiao raised an eyebrow.

After a pause, he continued, "But kill me? You? Even Sixth Sister wouldn’t dare say such a thing."

Wang Xiao shook his head, a trace of pity in his voice:

"A frog in a well, chasing the moon’s reflection."

As Wang Xiao’s voice faded,

His form began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ten feet, twenty feet, a hundred feet, a thousand feet...

In the blink of an eye, Wang Xiao’s form had become like a great pillar supporting the heavens, blotting out the sky and sun.

A vast shadow fell, plunging Liu Yongxiao into darkness.

Liu Yongxiao looked up, his expression frozen. The astonishment on his face grew, until finally, it was replaced by sheer horror as all color drained from his face.

"Y-You... What is this magic? You’re not a mortal?!"

He had never seen any Peak Body Cultivator capable of wielding such power!

The aura radiating from him was so terrifying it made even his heart pound in fear!

However, the only answer he received was a stomp!

RUMBLE!

The heavens trembled. A colossal foot, like a toppling Divine Mountain, descended upon Liu Yongxiao as if the sky itself were collapsing, kicking up a furious vortex that tore toward the clouds!

Liu Yongxiao felt the air crush from his lungs. The space around him seemed to solidify, locking him in place, rendering him utterly immobile.

"AARGH!"

He roared, and the Nine Tripods flew out to meet the colossal foot.

This was his True Form, which he had spent years forging with the nation of Wenchang Country as its foundation!

And yet, beneath that single stomp, the Nine Tripods instantly shattered and disintegrated, as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

It matters not if you are a prince whose word is law.

I will simply crush you underfoot!
