Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 402: You’re Nothing
"Among people of our age, I am willing to call you the strongest!"
Yang Huanyu’s gaze was piercing as he stared at Xiao Yi, with a serious expression spreading across his face.
His voice was not loud, yet it clearly entered the ears of all present.

Hisss!
One after another, the strong onlookers exchanged glances, dumbfounded.
Who was Yang Huanyu?
One of the two most powerful men in the Great Qian Dynasty.
The strongest War God of the Great Qian Dynasty!
The Calm Sea Divine Needle of the Great Qian Dynasty!
The most noble prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Unmatched War King!
Such an existence was openly acknowledging Xiao Yi as the strongest among his peers?
Even Xiao Tianjiao had not received such praise from Yang Huanyu in the past!
Gurgle!
Sun Yao’s face turned pale as he looked at the woman beside him, trembling, "Did I, did I hear wrong? The prince actually said Xiao, Xiao Yi is the strongest among his peers?"
He simply couldn’t believe it!
Proud as Yang Huanyu was, could he actually say such a thing?
The woman’s face was full of unwillingness and resentment, grinding her teeth, "The prince seemed to say it’s his ’Sword Intent’ talent..."
"Right!"
"It must be so!"
"He’s just at the Eighth Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm, how could he possibly be the strongest of his peers? The prince must have been referring to his ’Sword Intent’ talent, being able to comprehend the fourth stage of Sword Intent at the cultivation of the Eighth Layer of Tao Tribulation Realm, such sword talent has never appeared in the history of our Great Qian Dynasty..."
"Did the Xiao Family walk into some dogshit luck? First there was Xiao Tianjiao with the strongest martial talent, and now Xiao Yi with the strongest ’Sword Intent’ talent?"
"Dogshit luck? I think the Xiao Family has suffered a huge misfortune! Such a genius, yet they treated him as trash and gave him away as a son-in-law..."
Amidst exclamations of shock,
Yang Huanyu’s lips curved slightly upward, "Xiao Yi, three moves have passed and you indeed have withstood three moves from this prince. You have won this bet, and as a reward, I will spare your life. Come, kneel before me and swear allegiance to me! I will give you the most powerful resources, so surpassing Xiao Tianjiao will be nothing difficult!"
Yang Huanyu’s face beamed with a splendid smile.
He showed no displeasure at all from being injured by Xiao Yi.
To him...
The scar on his palm was merely a superficial wound.
But to subdue a talent like Xiao Yi would be very worthwhile.
"It’s over, it’s all over. With Xiao Yi’s talent, if he enters the prince’s service, he will definitely be nurtured as a confidant. If Xiao Yi seeks revenge on us, what are we going to do?" Sun Yao looked dumbfounded, frantically like ants on a hot pan, anxiously looking at the woman.
The woman’s face also fluctuated between shades of hope and despair.
Xiao Yi had slain the Funeral Envoy.
For her, it was a blood feud that couldn’t be shared under the same sky.
If Xiao Yi truly joined Yang Huanyu, how could she seek her revenge?
Nangong Sheng’s face was also ashen, filled with gloom, "Damn it... With Xiao Yi’s talent, just give him enough resources and in a few more decades, he will probably surpass all of us. Given the War King’s nature, to woo Xiao Yi, he might very well sacrifice the Nangong Family..."
In Yang Huanyu’s eyes, both Xiao Yi and the Nangong Family were nothing more than chess pieces.
If they were both chess pieces, naturally, he would cultivate the one with more potential.
As for the useless discarded chess piece, it ought to be easily disposed of!
Given the current situation of the Nangong Family, they were of negligible help to the War King’s Mansion, entirely incomparable to Xiao Yi!
Members of the Xiaoshanhe Institute also wore an anxious look, "Will the headmaster agree to submit to the War King’s command?"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd,
Seeing that Xiao Yi was slow to respond, Yang Huanyu frowned, "What’s the matter? You are not willing?"
Xiao Yi calmly said, "What do you think?"
"Why not?"
Yang Huanyu looked bewildered, taking it for granted as he said, "There are countless people in this world who want to enter my service, to become my dogs. Even within the ten great sects, many desire to join me. Even though you have some ability and your ’Sword Intent’ talent is the strongest among your peers in my opinion, in the end, you are merely an abandoned piece of the Xiao Family. Shouldn’t you be overwhelmed with gratitude and begging me to take you in?"
Xiao Yi: "..."
Watching Yang Huanyu’s arrogant demeanor, he felt momentarily speechless.
Of course.
With Yang Huanyu’s status and position, he indeed had such confidence and arrogance.
"Perhaps, as you’ve said, there are countless people longing to enter your service and become your dogs."
Xiao Yi smiled indifferently and spoke, "But I am not one of them!"
"Huh?"
Yang Huanyu’s smile slowly disappeared, his eyes squinting into slits, flickering with dangerous light, "Xiao Yi, do you know what the consequences of refusing this king will be?"
"What consequences could there be? Just bring it on!"
Xiao Yi cracked a smile, but that smile was ever more icy, neither servile nor overbearing, matching in sharpness.
Hiss hiss!
The two men’s gaze collided in mid-air as if tangible.
Erupting into blinding sparks.
Swoosh!
Yang Huanyu’s single hand hovered in the air, a black gleam pulsating in his palm, swiftly enveloping Xiao Yi. From within the encompassing darkness, countless unseen hands seemed to press down upon him. Darkness, despair, and cold instantly filled Xiao Yi’s body and soul, as if he were placed in a millennia-old ice cellar.
Krik krik krik!
Xiao Yi’s bones emitted bursts of crisp sounds.
The horrifying oppressive force caused beads of blood to seep out from his skin.
Xiao Yi’s bones felt as if they would be crushed, the tremendous force relentlessly squeezing his internal organs. His chest felt as if a giant stone were pressing down, making it hard to breathe.
Yang Huanyu’s cold voice remained proud and indifferent, like the lament of the Grim Reaper echoing in one’s ears: "Kneel down and submit, or die!"
The surrounding darkness and cold became stronger and stronger.
It bred despair.
Under Yang Huanyu’s oppression, Xiao Yi’s legs trembled as though he might kneel at any moment. Yang Huanyu’s lips curled up with indifferent arrogance: "An ant still dares to defy this king? If it weren’t for your talent in swordsmanship, enough to qualify as a dog under my command, for your audacity to defy this king, death would be your only path!"
"I order you to kneel!"
Yang Huanyu’s palm turned, directed at Xiao Yi, pressing towards the ground.
Thump!
Boom!
The ground under Xiao Yi’s feet exploded, yet his legs remained straight as a sword, his back as erect as an ancient pine.
Krik krik krik!
Xiao Yi twisted his neck, raising his stern face. His eyes, dark and tumultuous, stared intently at Yang Huanyu as he let out a deep roar.
"If the heavens oppress me, I will split the heavens; if the earth confines me, I dare to shatter the earth... I, Xiao Yi, will kneel to neither heaven nor earth..."
With each cry, his teeth clicked, his figure becoming ever more upright, forcefully pushing out the dreadful pressure surrounding him. As he fiercely raised his head, his bloodshot eyes burst forth with two blood-red rainbows, "Who the hell are you to make me kneel? Get lost!"
Boom!
Xiao Yi’s eyes shone with a red light that reached for the sky, within his body, the ancient tomb that had been sealed for ages roared.
Above the vault of heaven, eighty-one resplendent suns spanned across the sky while the chains that tethered the ancient tomb trembled mightily. From within the core zone, one of the nine gold tombs burst forth with a brilliant golden light.
This tomb trembled violently.
As if a golden giant was roaring in defiance.
Whirr!
The chains shook wildly.
The sunlight from the suns became even more brilliant.
Roar!
The dragons around roared, shaking the heavens.
Within the eternal tombs, countless grave sites shook uncontrollably, and a terrifying might dispersed in every direction. But no matter how strong the golden tomb was, it was still suppressed by the eternal tombs. Yet, before the calm was restored, a beam of golden light burst from within the gold tomb and shot into Xiao Yi’s body with a swoosh.

The golden light in Xiao Yi’s eyes surged, his eyeballs as if wrought from gold, and he roared to the heavens: "Sword, come!"
Hum!
The Shadowless Sword soared into the sky, ripping through the darkness, shattering despair, breaking the cold as it landed in his palm.
At this moment, Xiao Yi seemed as a god among swords!
"With one sword, split the heavens!"
A terrifying sword strike, loaded with endless starlight, grand and vast. Countless starlights converged into a hundred-zhang-long sword beam.
With a swoosh it shot into the sky, slashing towards Yang Huanyu.
Rumble rumble!
Wherever the sword beam passed, all things perished, as if it was the end of the world!
Every bit of darkness and despair between heaven and earth was shattered, only that dazzling sword light slashed down.
Boom!
The sword light fiercely struck the unprepared Yang Huanyu, the terrible starlight exploding, the sword beam turning into a river of stars, sweeping Yang Huanyu off his feet and hurling him away.
"..."
Between heaven and earth.
Silence...
