2024-07-12 01:00:33In Wuyu City, a large city of the Ming Dynasty, its ruler was the Wang kingdom. However, the current king did not bear the Wang surname but instead bore the surname Xiao. The current king was Xiao Jian, the son-in-law of the previous Wang king. Xiao Jian's wife was the eldest daughter of the previous Wang king. Now, Xiao Jian, along with his wife and son, were surrounded by generals of the Wang kingdom itself, assisted by influential figures from other forces.
Xiao Jian stood with his wife, Wangmei, while behind them was their seven-year-old son, Xiao Tian. “Xiao Jian, now I will take your life and also the lives of your wife and son. I will take the throne that rightfully belongs to me!” The person speaking was Wang Chong, the younger brother of Wangmei. But now, the brother she loved most was rebelling, daring even to kill everyone loyal to Xiao Jian. “Brother Wang Chong, why are you doing this? If you want the throne, I won’t hesitate to give it all to you. After all, I do not desire the throne. I have only been governing and waiting for you to come of age. Once you are of age, I will give it to you,” Xiao Jian said firmly to his brother-in-law. “Ha ha ha,” Wang Chong laughed heartily. “Xiao Jian, don’t be naive. Do you think I’m a fool? Who wants to step down from the throne after feeling comfortable in that position? No one! I cannot allow you to step down with an unwilling heart. I will eliminate all of you!” Wangmei, Wang Chong’s older sister, was very disappointed with her brother’s actions. “Wang Chong, now let your sister go! I promise not to interfere with your rule in Wuyu City.” “Ha ha ha, forgive your brother, Sister; I cannot let you go,” Wang Chong replied, then looked at all his troops who had already slaughtered all of Xiao Jian’s loyal followers. “Kill them all!” he ordered with a fierce face. Thousands of kingdom soldiers in armor, led by the kingdom’s generals, surrounded Xiao Jian and his son. “You three must die! You are not worthy to lead the Wang kingdom!” Everyone ran, dragging their weapons. Xiao Jian, Wangmei, and their son Xiao Tian were attacked from all directions. “Kill!” “Kill!” The sound of footsteps rumbled, shaking the earth. Seeing so many troops coming from all directions, Xiao Jian looked at them with a murderous gaze. “Mei’er, protect our son; I will clear a path so you can escape,” Xiao Jian said in a heavy voice. “My husband, I cannot leave you to die alone. If you want to die, we will die together,” Wangmei said firmly, without fear, facing the thousands of troops that were getting closer. Wangmei saw one of the imperial members of the Ming Dynasty. But unfortunately, the person from the Ming Dynasty just sat and watched without caring about them. “No! If you and Tian’er die, no one will seek justice for us. But if you survive, you can seek justice for me and my people who died at their hands!” Xiao Jian drew a jet-black sword. Then he raised his sword. “Kill!” Without waiting for Wangmei’s response, Xiao Jian tied his wife and son with his inner energy; then, he ran towards the troops before him. He channeled his inner energy into the sword with great force, then slashed it fiercely. Xiao Jian was like a rampaging beast; every time he swung his sword, several heads were decapitated. However, even though the number of enemies was large, several stabs and slashes had already wounded him. Clang ~~~~ Clang ~~~~ The sound of weapons clashing continued. “Don’t let him escape!” Wang Chong shouted from afar. “Your Majesty need not worry; no one will leave this place. The three of them will die!” The kingdom general responded confidently. Shot ~~~~ A weapon pierced Xiao Jian’s chest. However, Xiao Jian did not scream; he became more ferocious and terrifying. Plof, plof, plof …. Xiao Jian decapitated several heads. He continued running while killing anyone who blocked his path. After killing many people, Xiao Jian finally broke free from the siege of many troops. However, though he had succeeded, many troops were still chasing him. His body was full of wounds, continuously bleeding. His once pristine white robe turned red from the flowing fresh blood. Finally, Xiao Jian stopped running. “My wife, you must take Tian’er and leave Wuyu City, go as far as possible, and remember, it was your brother, our child’s uncle, who did all this. You must avenge my death!” “My husband, no! I will stay here with you! We will live and die together!” Wangmei did not want to leave her husband, who was already pale from losing so much blood. “No, you must live. Go!” Xiao Jian threw his wife and son away. Then he turned and faced the Wang clan general and all his troops. “I will slaughter you all.” Xiao Jian leaped while swinging his sword. Now, he no longer held back his inner energy. As a level 6 royal warrior, Xiao Jian’s cultivation was relatively high. At the same time, the Wang clan general was only a level-four royal warrior. But he had the advantage of numbers. Shoott ~~~~ Xiao Jian slashed his sword, and the sword energy shot out at high speed. “Aah!” The pitiful cries continued. Many members of the Wang clan had their bodies sliced in two. Shoott ~~~ Plof …. “Brother-in-law, I can no longer let you live!” “Cough, cough, cough!” Xiao Jian stood still, continuously coughing up blood. He saw a poison-laced sword piercing through his body; even his heart had been destroyed. Wang Chong had appeared behind Xiao Jian and stabbed him directly. “No... Father!”

And Dao Bao managed to hold back the incoming sword energy. His body was pushed back a few steps, but not to the point of losing balance. Yet, that was only one slash, what if there were hundreds of slashes? The question was not spoken, but clearly reflected in the change in his expression. Dao Bao did not say anything else, but his movements showed he understood that this situation should not be allowed to drag on. The silence was not hesitation, but re-calculation. Dao Bao retreated millions of feet, when he retreated. Every step of his retreat was accompanied by a shift in patterns in the surrounding space. The space behind him was opened by new patterns, making the retreat path not messy, but organized, though still forced to be fast. The patterns functioned as buffers, preventing the rear pressure from destroying the space’s balance. BOOM!!! An explosion sound from another direction was heard. Its vibration spread through the Cosmic Sea, creating dark ripp
Chapter 1496
The Eastern Sea Palace’s First General could barely avoid the attacks from the endless chains. Every one of his movements was always limited by the changing positions of the next incoming chains. Every time he forced an escape route, chains came to block it. The blocking was not rough, but exact on the path he chose. Every time he held on, the cage pressed down tighter. The pressure came from all sides, making the space to breathe increasingly narrow. Every time he was about to execute his skill, his technique was immediately attacked and destroyed. The destruction happened even before the energy reached full stability. The attack did not wait for it to be fully formed, as if Dao Bao was able to read his intent from the very start of the movement. That reading was not a guess, but the result of long experience. The Eastern Sea Palace’s First General continued to avoid the chains attacking him. His movements were now more careful, because every mistake would have

Array patterns appeared, not only from the Cosmic Sea, and the sky, but from all directions. The direction of their appearance cut off all safe paths that had still been available. The patterns did not stand alone, but covered each other’s distances, forming overlapping layers. The layers created gradual pressure, not an instant explosion. The space that had previously been open for the First General and the three Array experts slowly narrowed, like a trap set step by step. Every step ensured no escape routes were left. The Array patterns became a cage for the Eastern Sea Palace’s First General and also the three Array experts from the three ruling Palaces. The cage had no physical form, but its presence was far more real than a steel wall. Inside the cage, the directions up and down seemed the same, because patterns appeared on all sides. Orientation lost meaning, only pressure remained. Anyone who moved carelessly would immediately meet the next attack path. Ev
Chapter 1494
The chains did not stop after destroying the giant axe, thousands of chains immediately shot out to attack the First General. The follow-up attack came without a gap, as if the axe’s destruction was only the opening of the main sequence. Their movement covered each other, coming from various angles, leaving no room for one moment of ease. The attack angles formed a three-dimensional net, making the space around the First General lose the concept of front and back. Each chain moved straight, then changed direction in the middle of the way, as if guided to press on the same point. The direction change did not happen by chance, but due to Array calculations that were continuously updated with every breath. “Damn it, who the hell are you?” the First General shouted. His voice sounded loud, but underneath it was hidden pressure because he realized his position was no longer favorable. His eyes moved quickly, assessing where the next attack would come from, while keeping dis
Chapter 1493
Dao Bao looked at the axe without fear. His attitude did not change, because in his assessment, the attack was still within the limits he could handle. “Even though this old man’s power has not fully recovered, facing you is not a difficult matter!” The statement was not made to belittle the enemy, but to confirm his position in this field. Dao Bao formed a hand seal. The movement was slow and clear, showing no urgency, as if time around him moved following his rhythm. Then a very large Array pattern appeared from the Cosmic Sea. The pattern did not appear from the air, but from the surface of the thick black sea, as if the Cosmic Sea itself became part of its forming medium. BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ!!! The vibration spread widely, indicating that the formation of this Array involved a structure far larger than a single formation. The Array pattern that appeared was not just one, but dozens. Each stood alone, yet clearly connected to each other. Then those circular

Everyone immediately stepped back, they were very scared, that Great Elder had a Fifth-Rank True Divine Ruler realm, but he was so easily killed by Xiaoxiao. That difference was too striking to be ignored. Even the parties that had been full of anger held their steps, because the death happened in one attack, with no room for reaction. WHOOSSHH!!! WHOOSSHH!!! The First Generals from each Palace descended. Their presence immediately changed the threat scale. They did not dare to underestimate this group that had suddenly come to support Xiao Tian. One misjudgment could lead to war between Palaces. Their positions spread out, keeping enough distance to cover each other, yet not leaving gaps for the enemy to choose one target easily. Every position was taken with field calculations. The First General looked at several Palace higher-ups. “You keep an eye on Xiao Tian especially Tuo Xun, don’t let him take his young generation away and escape. I and the other Palace
