Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 387 The Most Shameless

Quiet.

Deathly quiet!

In front of the vast estate of the Nangong Family, silence reigned; not a sound could be heard. Everyone watched agape as Nangong Shengtian lay on the ground, reduced to a pile of mangled flesh.

This was the revered elder of the Nangong Family, and even more so, a powerful entity of the sixth level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm.

Even though he was extremely weak at the moment.

But not even an entity of the Dharma Manifestation Realm could have so easily taken his life like this!

"You, you..."

Sun Yao looked at Xiao Yi, disbelief written all over his face, his eyes flickering with astonishment, truly unable to believe that this scene before him was real.

Nangong Shengji was also dumbstruck.

Xiao Yi had acted too quickly.

So quickly that even he, a being at the Dharma Phase Realm Peak, had not had time to react, watching as Nangong Shengtian died right before his eyes. Even though he had resolved earlier that he could sacrifice Nangong Shengtian to preserve the Nangong Family,

after Sun Yao appeared and revealed that the Nangong Family had already submitted to the Unparalleled War King's Mansion.

Nangong Shengji felt that Nangong Shengtian's life was saved.

Even if this meant they would stand in opposition to the royal family, with the might of the Unparalleled War King, they could well protect the Nangong Family without worry. After all, that was an existence second only to Emperor Qian in the entire Great Qian Dynasty.

Holding sway over millions of elite troops.

Among the ten chief commanders in the army, six were his direct disciples.

Not to mention Xiao Yi, even Emperor Qian would find it difficult to move against the Nangong Family at this time.

It was because of this...

Nangong Shengji had never guarded against Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Yi, you're courting death!" Nangong Shengji's eyes turned blood-red, the crimson pupils swallowing a savage cold light that threatened to devour its prey.

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, looking disdainfully at Nangong Shengji, "Paying debts is a matter of principle. Since Nangong Shengtian refused to honor the bet, taking his life to settle the debt is only right, isn't it?"

"Ridiculous justification!"

Nangong Shengji snorted coldly, his aura surging violently. "Even if Emperor Qian himself comes today, he won't be able to save you!"

"Hmph!"

Nalan Qianqiu, standing beside Xiao Yi, suddenly let out a cold snort, her aura bursting forth unrestrained, as her icy gaze locked onto Nangong Shengji, "With Master this Pavilion Master here, you'll never touch a hair on Xiao's head!"

"You..."

Nangong Shengji's complexion shifted slightly.

Nalan Qianqiu was also a being at the Dharma Phase Realm Peak, and furthermore, Qianqiu possessed a Fire Spirit Physique, which, while not as immaculate as a Sacred Body, was still immensely powerful.

She could even summon earth's fire to transform into a flaming giant.

Her combat power was incomparably fierce.

Even with equal Cultivation Realm, Nangong Shengji was not sure he could defeat Nalan Qianqiu.

For a time.

Nangong Shengji's expressions changed unpredictably, but he also held off on making a move for the moment.

Sun Yao, however, had no such reservations. He let out a cold huff, his figure suddenly tensed, and he charged toward Xiao Yi. In an instant, Sun Yao had reached Xiao Yi, his hand outstretched in the air, sending a chill piercing through space.

Sun Yao's cultivation was also strong, having reached the Dharma Manifestation Realm fifth-level peak.

Moreover, he had long been positioned in command of the military.

Hardened in countless battles.

He had cultivated a formidable combat strength, capable of battling even a seventh-level Dharma Manifestation Realm opponent.

Confident in his mighty combat ability.

Even after witnessing Xiao Yi kill Nangong Shengtian, Sun Yao did not take him seriously: "Destroying Army Finger!"

Hum!

Cold light condensed on his right forefinger, bursting forth like a pillar.

Green auras coiled around the cold light, like a massive green serpent entwining itself around the column. Spinning like a top, it generated a howling gale, whistling sharply as it lunged forward.

The piercing chill approached, and the sweeping cold wind felt as sharp as knives on the skin, causing stinging pain.

"Be careful!"

Nalan Qianqiu's expression abruptly changed.

Nangong Shengji sneered and waved, creating a blue aura barrier in front of Qianqiu, blocking her path and laughing coldly, "Master Nalan, don't forget I'm also here!"

"You..."

Nalan Qianqiu's pupils suddenly constricted, a trace of annoyance flashing across his face.

Nangong Shengji, brimming with pride, said, "With me here, don't even think about lifting a finger to help him."

At the same time...

The mightily impressive finger, seemingly about to land on Xiao Yi, condensed horrifying destructive power. If it were to strike, even a seventh-layer master of the Dharma Manifestation Realm might face the danger of falling.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes into a slit, a flash of silver light streaking across his dark and profound pupils.

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi's right hand traced an arc of light out of thin air.

Vital energy gathered into a silver ring, positioned in front of him. With a hissing sound, it encircled that sharp finger. Then Xiao Yi clenched his hand and shouted, "Vajra Vanquishing Demons!"

Hum!

The silver ring, like a Subduing Demons Ring, suddenly tightened, firmly trapping the sharp finger light.

Whoosh!

Xiao Yi slammed his palm towards the ground with force.

Bang!

The finger light suddenly struck the ground, and a thunderous boom followed, as the ground cracked open. As Xiao Yi retracted his hand, capturing the Subduing Demon Ring and stepping back, it was as if a dragon raced below the surface of the earth.

Boom, boom, boom!

Wherever it passed, the ground rose up, and a series of stones and sand flew about.

After a good fifteen meters...

Xiao Yi stepped back. With a humming sound, a column of earth burst forth from the ground, the violent energy finally dissipating. Xiao Yi's mouth curved up in a smirk, standing atop the earthen pillar, looking down at Sun Yao: "Great General of the frontier army, is that all you've got?"

"Damn it!"

Sun Yao bellowed with rage.

Before his words were finished...

He was already in front of Xiao Yi, grasping at the air with one hand, and with a crisp buzzing sound.

A streak of cold light burst forth from the storage ring on his finger.

It was a silver long spear.

With the long spear in hand, the cold air was biting.

The silver long spear, reflecting blinding silver light, vibrated, emitting a humming sound. Holding the spear with one hand and standing on air, Sun Yao looked like an unrivaled War God.

Sun Yao, with his bright eyes, fixed his gaze firmly on Xiao Yi, towering with war intent: "Xiao Yi, if you kneel and beg for mercy now, I can spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me if the weapons are ruthless and I can't guarantee your safety!"

"Kneel to you..."

Xiao Yi suddenly caught a glimpse of Sun Yao's lips, the almost imperceptible smirk and the sneer of conspiracy.

His heart skipped a beat.

Subconsciously, he looked behind him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black flash coming at great speed—it was a black arrow. Exquisitely forged, so silent when cutting through the air that not a sound could be heard.

Ding!

With a sharp sound...

The black arrow struck Xiao Yi, who staggered and fell from the sky, crashing to the ground with a thud.

"What?"

"That, that's the Silent Arrow, commonly used by assassins in the army?"

Everyone was flabbergasted.

Following the trajectory of the Silent Arrow, they saw Lin Xiao, his face expressionless, slowly retracting a crossbow. The arrow that struck was his doing.

Nalan Qianqiu's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Sun Yao, how dare you use a sneak attack?"

"A sneak attack? This is called military strategy. When I gallop across the battlefield, I don't rely solely on brute force, but more on this..."

Sun Yao pointed to his head, saying disdainfully, "Why wade through a life and death struggle when you can conquer without fighting? Look, without mobilizing a single soldier, I've taken care of Xiao Yi!"

Seeing the complacency and confidence on his face, there was not even a hint of shame for using a hidden weapon.

This made Nalan Qianqiu's eyes burn with fury as he kept shouting, "Shameless, outrageously shameless..."

"Shameless? Hmph, as long as victory is achieved in the end, what does it matter the means used? Don't forget, history is written by the victor..."

Sun Yao sneered, unmoved by Nalan Qianqiu's accusations, instead he turned to Lin Xiao not far off, "Lin Xiao, aren't you going to check on our dear Director Xiao? Let's not let him die too easily!"

"Yes!"

Lin Xiao put away the crossbow, holding a long knife, and walked towards Xiao Yi...
