Chapter 280: Chapter 190: Extermination

RUMBLE!

In the midst of the violent rumbling, the scene was obscured by a cloud of dust and debris.

The onlookers all frowned. Fu Haoran hadn’t expected the Imperial Consort’s Tutor to be so powerful.

Fu Haoran himself was a Rebirth Realm Martial Artist, and he knew that even he would be no match for Zhao Xiaoxing.

"The Imperial Consort’s Tutor... to think he’s so powerful," Zhao Yan marveled, standing beside Zhao Song.

"Who won?" Zhao Song whispered, too preoccupied to care that the two of them had nearly demolished the Royal Palace Square.

"It should be a draw... Wait!" Zhao Yan’s gaze sharpened.

As the dust settled, Zhao Xiaoxing was revealed.

He was panting, having deactivated his Demon Fiend Bloodline because he no longer had enough Spiritual Power to sustain it.

On the other side, as the dust cleared, the figure of the Commander of the Imperial Guard also came into view.

He, however, was in a much more pitiful state—covered in blood and lying on the ground, barely breathing.

In their final exchange, Zhao Xiaoxing’s hybrid Spiritual Martial Arts, augmented by his Sword Seed Power, had proven stronger, striking the Commander of the Imperial Guard through the layer of rock.

’This was all because the Commander of the Imperial Guard was too arrogant,’ Zhao Xiaoxing thought. ’He didn’t even prepare a suitable weapon.’

’If the Commander had a proper weapon and used that terrifying Ants Shaking the Tree technique, I probably wouldn’t have been his match in a direct clash.’

HUFF... HUFF... HUFF.

"I won." Zhao Xiaoxing sheathed his longsword.

An excited look appeared on Zhao Song’s face. ’The Imperial Consort’s Tutor defeated the Commander of the Imperial Guard. Doesn’t that make him the future top expert in all of Zhao Country?’

’From now on, Fu Haoran will have to tone it down a bit!’

If Zhao Song realized this, how could Fu Haoran not?

Fu Haoran slowly rose to his feet. "It was just a spar. Why the lethal blow? I see you are nothing but a treacherous villain!"

"Seize him!" Fu Haoran dropped all pretense, intending to take advantage of Zhao Xiaoxing’s weakened state and kill him on the spot!

"Prime Minister Fu! How dare you give such an outrageous order? Do you even acknowledge my authority?!" Zhao Song roared.

Fu Haoran shot Zhao Song a cold glance. "Your Majesty has been bewitched by this scoundrel. Forward and Rear Generals, on my command, escort His Majesty away."

The Forward and Rear Generals shot up and moved toward Zhao Song.

"You dare!" Zhao Song was genuinely enraged.

But alas, the Forward and Rear Generals completely ignored him!

Zhao Yan had no choice but to draw his long saber and stand before Zhao Song. "Are you truly attempting a rebellion?"

Without a word, the two generals unleashed their Spiritual Martial Arts on Zhao Yan.

As the Zhao Royal Family’s sole trump card, Zhao Yan’s strength was exceptional. He actually managed to hold off both generals by himself, at least for the moment.

On the other side, however, it looked like Zhao Xiaoxing was done for.

The Left and Right Generals charged Zhao Xiaoxing from either side.

Zhao Xiaoxing’s expression was grave.

Just then, a figure descended from the sky, landing in front of Zhao Xiaoxing.

"Phew, Unc... Elder Bai, you’re finally here."

Zhao Xiaoxing had almost called him Uncle Bai, but he quickly corrected himself, remembering that Bai Yimeng was currently playing the role of a Sect’s ancient Elder.

Everyone nearby heard Zhao Xiaoxing’s cry and was stunned. ’Elder?’

’This Rebirth Realm recluse actually has an Elder?’

’To be called an Elder by someone in the Rebirth Realm, just how terrifying must this person’s strength be?’

Soon enough, Bai Yimeng showed his strength for all to see.

"One Sword Ascends to Immortality!"

Bai Yimeng swung his sword, and his terrifying Advanced Sword Intent took the form of an immortal ascending to the heavens. The image flashed and vanished in an instant.

The bodies of Prime Minister Fu Haoran’s Left and Right Generals instantly exploded!

A single move had killed two Rebirth Realm experts. Such power made Fu Haoran turn pale with fright!

Bai Yimeng had already reached the True Spirit Body Realm, and his control over his Heroic Root Bone was flawless.

The Heroic Root Bone enveloped Zhao Xiaoxing, saving him from the risk of Spiritual Power exhaustion.

Seeing the tables turn, Zhao Song quickly shouted, "Elder of the Imperial Consort’s Tutor! I implore you, help me eliminate these traitors led by Fu Haoran!"

"You old bastard!" Fu Haoran broke away and lunged toward Zhao Song.

A thought crossed Bai Yimeng’s mind, and he deliberately slowed his reaction by a step. Fu Haoran was a Rebirth Realm expert. With a full-powered palm strike, he killed Emperor Zhao Song!

First, the so-called Elder Bai appeared and killed two Rebirth Realm experts, and now the Prime Minister himself had personally murdered the reigning Emperor! The scene was utter chaos, and the court officials fled in terror!

Bai Yimeng activated his Demon Fiend Bloodline.

His Demon Fiend Bloodline was the Ancient Baize Bloodline.

The Baize, an ancient Demon Race, were most skilled at weaving dreams.

"Demon Fiend Skill, Yunmeng Marsh."

Wisps of white mist drifted out from Bai Yimeng’s body, quickly enveloping everything around, including the few remaining Rebirth Realm experts.

Within Yunmeng Marsh, Bai Yimeng was master.

With a slight manipulation of the white mist, he sent the crowd of ministers into a pleasant dream.

Bai Yimeng moved through the white mist, quickly appearing before Fu Haoran and slashing with his sword.

By the time Fu Haoran sensed the attack from behind, it was too late.

Bai Yimeng cut him down with a single strike.

Then, Bai Yimeng dispersed ’Yunmeng Marsh’.

The terrifying faction led by Fu Haoran, which had been entrenched in the Zhao Country Court Hall, was thus annihilated one by one by Bai Yimeng’s absolute power!

Bai Yimeng had effortlessly eliminated this seemingly unshakable power with his strength alone.

"The traitors have been executed. Is there anyone here who can take charge?" Bai Yimeng said faintly.

Zhao Yan struggled out of the white mist, and hearing this, he stood up. "I am His Majesty’s younger brother, Zhao Yan."

Bai Yimeng nodded. "You clean up this mess. I see the Emperor of Zhao Country was killed by rebels. A new Emperor must be enthroned as soon as possible!"
