Rise of the Great Emperor-Chapter 428: Road Paved with Blood
Chapter 428: Road Paved with Blood
His father was the one lying on the ground with the Emperor threatening him with powerful force. It was a humiliating sight but Xia Ye was forced to witness his family being destroyed.
"You…"
*cough* *cough*
Sun Kingdom Emperor felt that his body was weakening at rapid speed and his heart was filled with fear. Ever since he had become the Emperor, this was the first time he ever felt fear from deep within his heart. And the source of his fear was none other than this youth who was not even half his age.
How laughable.
Xia Ye looked at the Sun Kingdom Emperor before him. "Desperate? That's what you have done to me back then. Killing my father in front of my eyes, cutting off any straw of hope that I can possibly have… You really like collecting woman only to kill them in the end."
At the end of his sentence, Xia Ye couldn't bring himself to continue anymore. What happened back then was forever engraved in his heart, unable to be forgotten. He only knows that everything he had was taken away from him just because of the Emperor's whim.
Just a whim. Heh.
Grabbing the sword tighter, Xia Ye lunged forward and stabbed the Sun Kingdom Emperor. At the same time, he allowed the emperor to wound him.
"This is the end."
"You're a lunatic, you…" Sun Kingdom Emperor was about to try releasing himself when he realized that he was stuck near Xia Ye. At the same time, the dark Qi was flowing backwards on Xia Ye's body as the young man looked at the front.
His face turned pale at realization at what Xia Ye wanted to do.
When a cultivator at Golden Core Stage destructed themselves, the destruction they made would be very big. At the same time, their soul would also be destroyed.
"Goodbye."
Xia Ye closed his eyes, feeling the warmth from his parents that he had missed a long time ago coming back to him.
Bang!
Dark Qi enveloped the entire area, corroding everything. As the one closest to the destruction, Sun Kingdom Emperor was wounded heavily and already at his last breath. His soul was thoroughly damaged and his body was badly burnt with many chunks of flesh missing from its original place.
The destruction was big and naturally attracted the guards that were located far away. They quickly rushed over in an attempt to help Sun Kingdom Emperor to recover.
"Call the princes to come!"
"If His Majesty can't survive, we'll need to prepare for the new Emperor right away."
"Yes!"
…
Back in the desert.
Lin Xiao noticed that Xia Ye's Qi that was inserted into the Communication Jade for them to communicate with each other was flickering. It was the clear indication that the young man was on the verge of dying.
"Mutual destruction?" Lin Yun asked with a hoarse voice.
Lin Xiao shook his head. It was similar to that but it was not mutual destruction. While he had told Xia Ye that it was fine even if he failed, Xia Ye didn't come to him just because Lin Xiao needed followers. What Xia Ye wanted was simply revenge, revenge against someone who had made his life miserable back then.
As for what had happened, Lin Xiao didn't know everything for sure. What he knew was that Sun Kingdom Emperor had done something towards Xia Ye that made the young man adamant to do revenge.
Even at the cost of his own life.
"Things should have been able to end more peacefully if only there's another way." Prince Lin Xian sighed. However, it was Xia Ye's decision and there was no way for them to change the young man's mind when he had decided on something.
Lin Xiao didn't say anything. Whether Xia Ye would be able to survive or not depends on fate. He would only come searching for the young man in the future.
"Well, we're also busy here."
Prince Lin Bo Wang, who received the news looked as if he was hit by a large boulder with no chance for him to recover. Looking at his complexion, everyone could say that he was already feeling extremely bad and probably will falter at any time.
"How about Wenyan and the others?"
"They?" Lin Xiao shrugged. "They should have been able to finish their work and disappeared right now. What's important for us right now is to wait for the Phoenix Inheritance to be finished and the selected one come out."
Thud!
Several women were already thrown out of the space while they were all waiting here. Those who didn't last long were people who didn't have much affinity with the Phoenix and naturally had no chance to be accepted.
Both Fan Ling and Princess Lan Yi Hua hadn't come out at all.
"He'll wait and we should wait too."
"What if he attacks us?" Lin Yun pointed at Prince Lin Bo Wang with worried tone. If the prince attacked them too, it wouldn't do them anything good. They would be forced to fight an unfair battle.
"He won't."
"Yes?"
"He needs to concoct better plan first. Besides, with his people wounded like that, do you think that he'll immediately attack?"
"Reinforcement…."
"They're all heading towards the capital city, to the palace to be exact. No one will be left behind here. Our problem later will not be him." Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes. He knew for sure that the one who would fight them later would not be Prince Lin Bo Wang but someone else who was also very powerful and might threaten their lives.
Prince Lin Yan looked at Lin Xiao and sighed. "You should stop provoking people."
"I'm not."
"And the opponent who will fight you later, did you not provoke him?"
Lin Xiao's lips curled up to form a sneer. "I didn't provoke him at all, but someone else in our group will."
Looking at Lin Xiao's eyes and where he looked at, the others naturally knew who he meant. However, they all stayed silent as they watched Prince Lin Bo Wang, who was trying hard to be patient in this place. If only he was not waiting for the result of the Phoenix Inheritance, he would have returned back to the palace right away.
