Celestial Emperor of Devouring-Chapter 673 - 663: Imperial Grand General

"Imperial matters?"

Gu Chenfeng’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and he promptly swiped a palm through the air.

"Slap!"

In an instant, a crisp sound resounded as a powerful force struck a commander’s face, sending several teeth flying, and the commander himself was sent tumbling.

The sudden slap bewildered the leading commander on the spot.

The Iron Cavalry and Black Banner Army were dumbfounded.

The pedestrians on the street were also dumbfounded.

One by one, they widened their eyes at Gu Chenfeng. No one dared to believe that Gu Chenfeng actually dared to hit a commander of the Iron Cavalry.

This kind of boldness was unbelievable!

Gu Chenfeng said coldly, "No matter how big the issue, can it be bigger than the lives of the Empire’s citizens? If you disregard the safety of the Empire’s citizens, what use are you to the Empire?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The commander spat a mouthful of blood, got up, and shouted angrily at Gu Chenfeng, "You brat! How dare you harm me! You must be tired of living! Men! Kill this brat for me!"

"Brothers! Kill this brat!" shouted one of the Iron Cavalry, and all the soldiers charged forward.

The Iron Cavalry and Black Banner Army together numbered in the hundreds.

However.

As soon as the soldiers charged forward, an overwhelming aura descended upon them, suppressing them to the ground, unable to move.

The soldiers were terrified, their hearts filled with fear.

Seeing this scene, the leading commander’s eyes widened in horror and he said, "Just who is this little demon with such powerful strength?"

The cultivators on the street were also full of shock and disbelief.

No one dared to believe that a mere sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy could possess such formidable power.

A passerby suddenly said, "This boy looks familiar, as if I’ve seen him somewhere before."

Another passerby whispered, "Yes, yes, I have the same feeling. I’m certain I’ve seen him before, but I’m not sure if it’s him."

"I remember now, he’s the boy who saved the Xiang Family!" someone exclaimed, finally recognizing Gu Chenfeng.

"That’s right! It’s him!" another person exclaimed, "I remember, he’s the one who slew the Martial King and destroyed the Martial King’s Mansion!"

The news of Gu Chenfeng slaying the Martial King, destroying the Martial King’s Mansion, and even freezing the entire Martial King City had long spread throughout the Empire.

It shocked the entire Celestial Fire Kingdom.

It’s just that many people hadn’t seen Gu Chenfeng before.

At this moment.

Gu Chenfeng walked step by step towards the commander, whose heart almost leaped out of his chest in fear.

"You... what do you want to do? Don’t come over. If you dare to kill me, the Grand General will never spare you!" the commander asked in terror, involuntarily retreating.

"The soldiers of the Empire are supposed to protect the citizens. Without the citizens, where would the Empire come from? You’ve completely disgraced the Empire," Gu Chenfeng said coldly, the terrifying pressure forcing the commander to kneel on both knees.

The commander was merely at the Golden Core Stage, powerless to resist Gu Chenfeng’s pressure.

"Well said, young brother! They are unfit to be soldiers of the Empire!"

"Young brother! Teach them a good lesson!"

"Since the Empire was broken and submitted to the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Iron Cavalry and Black Banner Army have become our enemies."

On the streets, people excitedly shouted, venting their resentment.

However.

Gu Chenfeng did not deal a killing blow.

Gu Chenfeng said emotionlessly, "Today, I want to see which Imperial Grand General dares to ignore military regulations and disregard the lives of the Empire’s citizens!"

The commander glared at Gu Chenfeng, gritting his teeth as he said, "Boy, our Grand General is on his way. If you offend him, don’t think you’ll leave alive!"

"Is that so?" Gu Chenfeng smirked coldly.

Gu Chenfeng wanted to see just how powerful this Imperial Grand General was.

A few minutes later.

Amid the soldiers enduring the pain of the pressure, the Grand General finally arrived.

The sound of iron hooves came from outside the city gates.

"The Grand General is here!" the leading commander exclaimed with joy, maliciously adding, "Brat! You’re dead!"

The soldiers of the Iron Cavalry and Black Banner Army were also overjoyed in their hearts, seemingly already seeing the scene of Gu Chenfeng’s miserable death.

Sadly, they did not know the terrifying strength of Gu Chenfeng.

Soon after.

A man clad in battle armor led the Iron Cavalry into Celestial Wave City, galloping towards them.

The leading man was indeed the Imperial Grand General.

This Grand General was not a general from the Martial King’s Mansion.

He was the Grand General of the entire Celestial Fire Kingdom.

The Grand General’s cultivation had reached the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, with one foot already stepping into the late stage, making him stronger than the former Martial King.

"Such a strong pressure, at least at the Nascent Soul Stage. Is there such a strong person in Celestial Wave City?" the Grand General frowned slightly, sensing the pressure as soon as he entered the city.

When the Grand General saw that all the soldiers on the street were suppressed to the ground by a terrifying pressure, his face darkened immediately.

The Grand General sternly shouted, "Who dares lay hands on the soldiers of my Empire?"

Gu Chenfeng stood on the street, looking emotionlessly at the leading Grand General.

An Iron Cavalry commander reported with difficulty, "Grand General, it’s that boy."

"You are the Imperial Grand General?" Gu Chenfeng asked coldly, his icy gaze fixed on the Grand General.

Upon seeing Gu Chenfeng, the Grand General was filled with shock.

The Grand General could not believe that a mere sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy could be a Nascent Soul powerhouse.

How powerful was this talent?

The Grand General studied Gu Chenfeng and frowned, "I am indeed the Grand General. Who are you? Why did you attack the Empire’s soldiers?"

Gu Chenfeng did not reply but asked in return, "Let me ask you, are the Empire’s citizens important?"

The Grand General replied, "The Empire’s citizens are certainly important."

"Is that so?" Gu Chenfeng said coldly, "The Iron Cavalry rampages through the city and the Black Banner Army brutally expels citizens. Is this what you call the citizens being important?"

The Grand General dismounted, unleashing an overwhelming aura that forcibly dispelled the pressure suppressing the soldiers.

He then said deeply, "In the face of imperial matters, as long as it doesn’t harm the citizens, what’s wrong with forcibly expelling them? The soldiers of my Empire are none of your concern, and you have no right to interfere!"

Gu Chenfeng raised his hand slightly, his palm facing the Grand General, coldly saying, "You say with your mouth that the citizens are important, yet in your heart they are not. You are unworthy of being the Imperial Grand General."

Gu Chenfeng was ready to make a move against the Grand General.

Seeing this.

The Grand General narrowed his eyes, fiercely saying, "Boy, I advise you not to be too arrogant. If you wish to fight, you’d better measure your own strength first!"

As soon as the words fell.

The peak mid-stage Nascent Soul’s powerful spiritual force burst forth from the Grand General, an iron-blooded spirit that gripped the soul.

The pedestrians on the street were terrified by the Grand General’s frightening power.

The commander, filled with schadenfreude, said, "Boy, to dare oppose the elite of the Empire and act arrogantly in front of the Grand General, you must really be tired of living."
