Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Ling’Er, I’ve Come

Crashing the wedding!

That one phrase surfaced in everyone’s mind. They had all heard plenty of rumors about such things, but today, it was happening right before their very eyes.

And the one being robbed of his bride was none other than the Second Prince of the Great Xia Empire!

"Who in the hell are you?! How dare you act so wantonly on my wedding day!"

The Second Prince was utterly enraged. His bride had been stolen in front of so many people before he could even lay a finger on her. This was a true, monumental humiliation.

Just then, a voice brimming with chilling Killing Intent washed over the crowd, as cold as the deepest ice.

"Hmph! Your wedding day? How utterly ridiculous!"

Everyone simultaneously followed the sound and looked back up into the empty sky.

The void, which had been empty just a moment ago, now held a figure cloaked in black, holding the beautiful, Celestial Immortal-like Yun Mengling in his arms.

The black-clad figure’s gaze shot directly toward the Second Prince, and his soul-piercing, bone-chilling voice rang out once more.

"Today is not your wedding day. It is the day of your funeral!"

An uproar erupted among the crowd as soon as they heard this, and they all gasped in shock.

"Who is this person? How can he be so insolent?"

"He actually said today is the Second Prince’s funeral day!"

"He wants to kill the Second Prince? Who does he think he is?"

At this moment, the Second Prince, who was being stared at by the figure in black, glared back intently and recognized the man in an instant.

"Yi Xiaoyao!"

The name escaped the Second Prince’s lips, laced with fury and venomous resentment.

Although the Second Prince had never met Yi Xiaoyao before, he held partial authority over the Imperial Army Mansion and was naturally aware of Yi Xiaoyao’s existence.

Furthermore, when he learned that the Yun Family was colluding with someone from the Chaotic Alliance Domain, he also discovered that this person was none other than Yi Xiaoyao.

Therefore, the Second Prince had specifically looked into Yi Xiaoyao’s background and had also guessed that the person Yun Mengling claimed he couldn’t compare to was this very same Yi Xiaoyao!

So even though this was their first meeting, an irreconcilable hatred already existed between them.

And that name caused another clamor to erupt from the crowd.

"Who’s Yi Xiaoyao?"

"It’s normal if you haven’t heard of him. He’s quite famous in the Chaotic Alliance Domain."

"So he’s from the Chaotic Alliance Domain. No wonder he’s so arrogant!"

"So what? This isn’t his Chaotic Alliance Domain. This is the Great Xia Empire!"

"That’s right! This is the Second Prince’s territory. Since this Yi Xiaoyao dared to come here and steal the Second Prince’s bride, I doubt he’ll be leaving here alive today. And he’s going to die a miserable death!"

Amidst the explosive uproar, Yun Mengling, cradled in Yi Xiaoyao’s arms, blinked her eyes as if waking from a dream. She reached out a delicate, jade-like hand to caress Yi Xiaoyao’s cheek.

"Xiaoyao, is it really you? You really came!"

Yun Mengling’s trembling voice held countless grievances, but it was also filled with endless, joyful surprise.

It was as if the sliver of hope she had kept hidden in her heart had suddenly been rekindled, flooding her entire inner world.

The frosty glint and Killing Intent on Yi Xiaoyao’s face vanished the moment he heard her captivating voice, replaced by a warm smile as gentle as a spring breeze as he looked down at Yun Mengling in his arms.

"Ling’Er, it’s me. I’m here!"

Yi Xiaoyao’s words were tinged with heartfelt guilt as he gently stroked Yun Mengling’s waterfall-like hair, which flowed in the wind.

"I’m sorry I let you suffer. But don’t worry. I’ll make them pay for every single wrong they’ve done to you."

Hearing this, Yun Mengling finally snapped out of her dreamlike state. She looked at Yi Xiaoyao, her eyes filled with worry.

"Xiaoyao, didn’t Cheng tell you about the Second Prince’s identity and power?"

Yun Mengling’s beautiful eyes instantly grew moist. "How could you be so foolish? Why did you come back? You can’t possibly fight him!"

"Silly Ling’Er, you’re the foolish one!"

Yi Xiaoyao feigned annoyance and pinched her little nose.

This intimate scene, like something between a celestial couple, not only left the crowd below dumbfounded but also made the Second Prince’s eyes turn bloodshot, his face contorting with rage as he seethed with fury.

"So those two were the real couple all along!"

"No wonder this Yi Xiaoyao came to crash the wedding. Looking at it this way, I almost admire him."

"What’s there to admire? This is just stupidity. How could the Second Prince possibly let him go after this?"

As the crowd’s discussions began, the Second Prince let out an incomparably furious roar. He shot forward, drawing his sword and lunging toward Yi Xiaoyao in the sky above, bellowing a heaven-shaking shout.

"How dare you get lovey-dovey with my woman right in front of me! I’ll make you die a miserable death!"

Fueled by his rage, the Second Prince’s speed reached its absolute peak, as if his entire body had transformed into the golden sword in his hand.

"Look! The Second Prince is making his move personally!"

"The Second Prince is not even thirty, yet he’s already reached the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm! Such talent is truly astounding. He might even break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm by the time he inherits the throne!"

"And that Yi Xiaoyao, he looks so young, yet his Cultivation is already at the third level of the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm. His aptitude is shocking too!"

"Unfortunately, Yi Xiaoyao is much younger than the Second Prince, and his Cultivation is a full two levels lower. I’m afraid he’s going to die a horrible death."

Amidst the crowd’s discussions, the Second Prince’s sword, burning with endless fury, crossed a thousand zhang of empty space in an instant and appeared behind Yi Xiaoyao.

The color drained from Yun Mengling’s lovely face at the sight, but she realized that Yi Xiaoyao was still holding her affectionately, without a hint of panic.

In fact, Yi Xiaoyao didn’t even bother to glance at the Second Prince attacking him from behind.

This was the ultimate display of contempt and disdain. How could the Second Prince not feel it?

"Hmph! Yun Mengling, so the person you said I couldn’t even hope to compare to is this stray dog with a bounty on his head from the Imperial Army Mansion!"

The Second Prince shouted coldly as his sword slashed out, "Today, I will cut him down with my own hands, right in front of you! I’ll let you see just how many times stronger I am than him!"

As his voice fell, the Sword Aura slashed forth.

"Xiaoyao! Watch out!"

Yun Mengling cried out in alarm, only for Yi Xiaoyao to pinch her little nose again.

"Silly Ling’Er, do you have so little confidence in me?"

Yi Xiaoyao chuckled softly, and then his warmly smiling face was instantly covered with a frosty glare and Killing Intent.

"You’re disturbing my time with Ling’Er. Get lost!"

With that shout, Yi Xiaoyao turned and threw a punch toward the Sword Aura behind him.

In an instant, an astonishingly massive Flaming Giant Fist, roiling with incredibly dangerous crimson flames, directly swallowed the Sword Aura and appeared before the horrified Second Prince.

"What!?"

It wasn’t just the Second Prince; everyone’s face was filled with disbelief.

The Second Prince’s furious sword strike was so easily crushed by the Flaming Giant Fist?

You have to remember, the Second Prince’s Cultivation was two whole levels higher than his opponent’s!

But before they could process their shock, they saw the Second Prince’s entire body become engulfed in flames. Like a burning meteorite, he plummeted downward, crashing through one high platform after another.

Finally, two Golden Armor Powerhouses flashed forward in unison to catch the Second Prince. They dispersed the flames on his body, revealing a figure whose aura had dimmed, just as he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
