The Royal City was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Despite the blue-robed youth bearing a longsword appearing indifferent, the air around him stirred up an aura of supremacy that swept towards all directions, causing the very void to shudder and heaven and earth to tremble.
This person was like a deity arriving in the mortal realm, walking above the Royal City, eyes radiating utter indifference, exerting a tremendous pressure on the Ye Alliance Martial Artists who had come upon hearing the news, so much so that their palms were sweating and their minds were quaking.
Only one who stands in a transcendent position could possess such a gaze, able to look down upon all living beings, even King Xingyun whom they had once personally met, couldn’t muster such an imposing manner.
"Hmph, you all are too eyesores!"
Seeing the number of Martial Artists increasing within the Royal City, the blue-robed youth couldn’t help but snort coldly, his eyes sharp as blades. Without any noticeable actions from him, his aura of supremacy intensified even more, enveloping all of heaven and earth.
The Martial Artists along his path screamed in agony, as if struck by mountains, and were sent flying, crashing into many palace complexes.
Long Chen, who was dealing with affairs, received the message and had just arrived at the scene, did not even have time to react before he too was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood with a face full of shock.
Who exactly was this person? They definitely did not seem like a Young Talent that could be cultivated by the Four Great States, it was simply too terrifying. He even felt that if he rushed forward, he would surely be killed ruthlessly.
Because in the other’s eyes, they were no different from ants, and killing them was just taken for granted.
However, Long Chen, who had been in control of the Ye Alliance for years and managing the Tianjiao Kingdom on behalf of Xiao Ye, naturally had a mindset not common among others.
Moreover, their Ye Alliance had developed into a Kingdom. If someone could break into the depths of the Royal City so unobstructed, then the face of the Tianjiao Kingdom would be entirely lost, reduced to a laughing stock in East State.
The face of a Kingdom is exceedingly crucial, affecting future collaborations with other forces.
Long Chen quickly regained his composure, bracing through the pain in his body, he got up and clasped his hands in a salute towards the blue-robed youth, "Lord, your cultivation is extraordinary, and we have great admiration for it. May I know what business has brought you to our Tianjiao Kingdom?"
"If it’s because of the Tianjiao Kingdom’s poor hospitality that has incited Lord’s wrath to strike, then I, as the Vice Country Master of the Tianjiao Kingdom, hereby apologize to you, Lord. Please, step into our Hall of Heroes, where we will host you with the highest courtesy."
"Hahaha..." Hearing this, the blue-robed youth laughed heartily, his black hair floating without wind, his face full of mockery.
"A mere Kingdom, worthy to host me? My action was simply because you all displeased me!"
The blue-robed youth’s disdainful voice echoed in the Royal City like a rumbling thunder, startling everyone, followed by a surge of anger in their eyes.
Without discrimination, he hurt a multitude of Martial Artists upon his arrival, and even now, when Long Chen had humbly sought peace, such words were still spoken. Any person would be furious, not to mention that they now represented the face of an established Kingdom.
"Sir, your words are perhaps too excessive!" Long Chen’s face also darkened as he spoke slowly.
Even with his crystal-clear nature, he was now angered and inevitably added weight to his tone.
"Hmm? It seems you’re quite discontented. Well then, I will magnanimously teach Xiao Ye, your Country Master, a lesson on your behalf." The blue-robed youth said, with a ferocious smile, he casually threw a palm towards Long Chen which shattered the surrounding void.
"Vice Country Master!" The surrounding soldiers couldn’t help but cry in horror at this scene.
The blue-robed youth’s strength was terrifyingly immense; even Shen Lang, at Virtual Martial Eighth Level, couldn’t withstand a single move, let alone Long Chen whose cultivation was still not as high as Shen Lang’s?
Faced with the blue-robed youth’s palm, Long Chen’s face turned deathly pale; he couldn’t even move his body, as if enveloped by boundless darkness, his soul bereft of any hope, leaving only despair.
At this critical moment, suddenly an enormous palm spanned across the void, seemingly from the Nine Heavens, clashed with the palm of the blue-robed youth. Instantly, a horrifying wave of energy spread in all directions, causing the heaven and earth to shake and the wind to howl incessantly.
The blue-robed youth’s body paused as two beams of radiant Divine Light shot out from his eyes, looking towards the depths of the Royal City.
A lean figure was seen stepping through the void from the depths of the Royal City, a youth with clear eyebrows and bright eyes. His hair was wildly tousled, not particularly handsome, but with an indescribable charm that firmly captured everyone’s gaze.
His tousled hair flying wildly, his black robe fluttering, he stepped forward.
"The Country Master!"
"The Country Master has arrived!"
After a moment of silence, the Royal City erupted into earth-shattering cheers, as countless Martial Artists watched the black-robed youth with eyes shining fiercely, their faces filled with admiration.
The Lord of Tianjiao Kingdom, Xiao Ye, the foremost among the young generation in the Four Great States, has created countless legends. In the Heavenly God Dynasty of East State, he holds a status equivalent to that of King Martial Realm experts. Since founding his kingdom, he has seldom made an appearance, and in the hearts of the Martial Artists who have recently joined the Tianjiao Kingdom, he is mysterious and powerful, their spiritual leader.
"My people, and you think you’re qualified to teach them a lesson?" Xiao Ye arrived walking on air, flew to Long Chen’s side, took out an Elixir from his Space Ring and made Long Chen swallow it, then after sweeping a gaze over the chaotic Royal City, he looked coldly towards the Blue Robed Youth.
He had been in ardent Cultivation in a secret chamber prior to this, and upon hearing the noise outside, he immediately rushed over. It appeared that the cultivation of this Blue Robed Youth had not yet reached King Martial, but his strength was nonetheless very formidable.
"Heh heh, so you are Xiao Ye? The first place of the Dynasty Battle, nothing more than that? Truly disappointing. It seems that even if one stands out in the trash ground of the Four Great States, they are still trash," said the Blue Robed Youth indifferently after giving Xiao Ye a glance, his face full of disdain.
Xiao Ye slightly frowned upon hearing these words, interpreting them to mean that this Blue Robed Youth seemed to be from Central State.
But even if he came from Central State, injuring his friend and damaging the honor of Tianjiao Kingdom today, he would not easily let the other party off.
"Whether I’m trash or not, you’ll know if you try," Xiao Ye thought and then spoke coldly.
The disdain on the Blue Robed Youth’s face deepened as he mockingly stared at Xiao Ye and said, "Do you actually want to fight me?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the Blue Robed Youth suddenly felt a gust of wind roaring towards the back of his head, raising the hair on his body, and he quickly turned around, but it was already too late.
A fist silently appeared and smashed heavily onto the cheek of the Blue Robed Youth, knocking out two of his teeth; he was sent flying backward.
It was only at this moment that Xiao Ye’s original standing position slowly dissipated, while the true Xiao Ye, having utilized the Perfect Realm’s Virtual Outer Body Technique, had already moved into mid-air and struck the unprepared Blue Robed Youth.
"Hmph, dare to bully my people, regardless of your Divine Sect’s origins, I will make you bleed!"
Xiao Ye’s expression was cold as he pulled out the Heavenly Incomplete Bow from his Space Ring, drew the bowstring, and activated the Heavenly Incomplete Arrow Technique. Instantly, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi flocked towards him, forming a bright Light Arrow in his palm.
With the release of the Heavenly Incomplete Bow’s bowstring, a huge Light Arrow shot out like a Meteor, traversing the void, unleashing boundless Divine Light, and exploded towards the tumbling Blue Robed Youth.
No sooner had the first arrow shot out than Xiao Ye had already fired the second, the third... up until the ninth!
After this period of arduous Cultivation, not only had Xiao Ye’s cultivation greatly advanced, but his Virtual External Embodiment and Heavenly Incomplete Arrow Technique had also reached the Perfect Realm. His overall strength surged, effortlessly firing nine Heavenly Incomplete Arrows and fully unleashing the power of the Quasi-King Artifact.
Nine massive Light Arrows, connected end to end, all targeted the Blue Robed Youth. They successively hit his body, creating a terrifying Energy Storm, completely engulfing the Blue Robed Youth and also shattering numerous palaces, making the Royal City seem as if a second sun had risen, its fierce brightness blinding.
"This... this is too brutal!"
The Martial Artists within the Royal City were dumbstruck by the spectacle.
The Blue Robed Youth, who had been unconquerable before, was now beaten down by Xiao Ye’s successive attacks, prompting many to cheer loudly, feeling a sense of relief that had been pent up in their chests.
Just then, an angry roar burst forth from within the Energy Storm, echoing like thunder in mid-air.
A tall figure shot up from the midst of the Energy Storm, soaring high into the air like a Roc ascending ninety thousand miles, arriving mid-air like a Ferocious Beast with blood-red eyes, ready to devour prey.
The Blue Robed Youth, at this moment, looked nothing like his previous arrogant self, his blue robe tattered and soaked in blood, his long hair disheveled, gasping for breath.
"You... how dare you treat me this way, I will surely kill you!"
The Blue Robed Youth was nearly driven mad, his identity was incomparably noble; arriving in any Dynasty of the Four Great States, he would be treated with the utmost respect. But now, within Tianjiao Kingdom, he had been beaten to this state. If word of this spread back to Central State, it would become a complete joke.
How could he tolerate this?
The Blue Robed Youth had just spoken when he drew his Longsword from behind him and slashed towards Xiao Ye.
The Sword Light was cold and chilling, the Sword Light sharp, a terrible Suppression emanating from the blade.
"To possess a Quasi-King Artifact, you indeed are not simple, but arriving in my Tianjiao Kingdom, even if you are a True Dragon, you’d still have to lie prostrate before me!"
Xiao Ye’s gaze fell upon the opponent’s Longsword. As soon as he finished speaking, his palm waved, and the Heavenly Incomplete Bow was replaced by a Golden Longsword, exuding even more majestic Suppression, intimidating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
This Golden Sword, found by Xiao Ye in the Space Ring of the Golden Roc King, although it is but an imperfect item among Royal Artifacts, its power when wielded surpasses that of the Heavenly Incomplete Bow.
