Chapter 2892 - 2896: The Complete End of the Wise and Virtuous King

"Ah..."

A piercing scream erupted from Li Xiaotian’s mouth.

Despair!

Rage!

Regret!

All emotions exploded completely at this moment.

Everyone was staring intently at this bewildering scene.

Amazed beyond words.

The Seventh Prince Chen Cangmang once again witnessed Ling Xiao’s might. Yet, compared to their first meeting, the current Ling Xiao was powerful beyond recognition.

Terrifying, Li Xiaotian was a Martial Artist at the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm Thirteenth Layer of Hell Early Stage Cultivation.

And yet he was killed by Ling Xiao just like that?

The most shocked of all were Wise and Virtuous King Chen Canglan and the two disciples from Tianchi Mountain.

This time, Chen Canglan returned to seizing the throne first, then kill Ling Xiao.

However, the power Ling Xiao displayed plunged him into utter despair.

Such strength, even Li Xiaotian wasn’t his match, truly unfathomable.

In the battle, Ling Xiao’s aura continued to rise, his strength ever-increasing; this was his most terrifying aspect.

As long as he couldn’t be killed, he would only grow stronger!

Truly horrifying, this man.

"Chen Canglan, now, who can you still rely on?"

After killing Li Xiaotian, Ling Xiao arrogantly walked towards Wise and Virtuous King Chen Canglan and asked coldly.

"Ling Xiao, this is Thunder City, you really think after killing Li Xiaotian you can do as you please?"

Chen Canglan sat there, terror-stricken, but still bluffing.

"Hehe, Li Xiaotian coming to the Chen Dynasty was near invincible, alas, unfortunate for him to encounter me.

In the current Chen Dynasty, I am the top expert. You don’t need to spout such hollow threats to scare me, I’m not a three-year-old child.

Confess what you did to Hong Minger, or I’ll make you beg for life and death!"

Ling Xiao looked indifferently at Chen Canglan and said.

"Will you spare me if I confess?" Chen Canglan asked.

"You have no right to negotiate with me now!" Ling Xiao said flatly, "Another useless word, and I’ll let you taste heart-piercing pain immediately."

"Victory belongs to the king, power to the conquered, do as you will, I have nothing to say."

Chen Canglan knew some things couldn’t be said, once said, he would be the target of universal scorn, despised by everyone.

He would rather be killed by Ling Xiao like this.

"It seems you really haven’t understood a word I said."

Ling Xiao sneered, transforming into the Nine Serpents General.

Nine serpent heads swayed menacingly behind him.

"As a Prince of the Chen Dynasty, beloved Wise and Virtuous King, you’ve suffered too little, so today, I’ll let you taste the most basic kinds of pain."

With these words, a serpent head shot out and bit down hard on Chen Canglan’s body.

In that instant, poison coursed through Chen Canglan’s body.

"Ah---!"

Chen Canglan let out a tragic scream, his entire body curling up, his face deathly pale, on the brink of collapse.

"No, I’ll speak, I will, please, spare me the torment!"

He cried out hysterically in terror.

Ling Xiao paused, then displayed a disdainful expression, expecting Chen Canglan to endure a bit longer, but who knew it would be this futile.

Just one poison, and this guy completely lost the ability to resist.

Ling Xiao commanded the serpent head to withdraw the venom, easing Chen Canglan somewhat.

But those nine menacing serpent heads still watched him intently, leaving him no room for defiance.

He confessed to everything he had done.

As Ling Xiao suspected, this guy not only repaid kindness with murder by killing Hong Minger.

He also destroyed Hong Minger’s entire family.

Upon hearing his recount of those inhuman atrocities, the furious crowd began to shout aloud.

"Kill him!"

"Execute him by dismemberment!"

"This vile man is utterly heinous!"

Though their voices couldn’t reach the Royal Palace, they shouted angrily nonetheless.

"Give me a quick death!"

Chen Canglan lay on the ground like a dead dog.

Ling Xiao glanced at him, flicked his wrist, and a flash of sword light flew by, severing Chen Canglan’s head from his body.

He didn’t particularly enjoy torture, unless to extract information or if someone did the same to his friends and family.

As for Chen Canglan, killing him was enough.

After killing Chen Canglan, Ling Xiao turned to Elder Jian and Elder Cang, coldly asking, "What will you two do? Follow him to die? Or pledge allegiance to the new king?"

Elder Jian and Elder Cang exchanged looks, ultimately both kneeling, "We subjects bow to the new king!"

"Hehe, I was hoping you would have some loyalty, I did kill Old Fire and Elder Feng, do you not hate me?"

Ling Xiao sneered.

"They were blind, deserved to die."

The two elders’ tones were in unison.

"Hmph, people like you, I can spare your lives, but these two pills, you must take them.

Your power is too great, I can’t rest easy otherwise."

Ling Xiao coldly said, "This pill is called the Soul Absorption Pill, normally there would be no discomfort, but if you attempt to betray me, they will take effect immediately, scattering your souls!"

Hearing this, Elder Jian and Elder Cang exchanged glances, both showing reluctant expressions.

They had planned very well, intending to feign surrender, then find a chance to kill Ling Xiao or the Chen Dynasty’s new king designated by Ling Xiao.

Anyway, Ling Xiao wouldn’t stay in the Chen Dynasty forever, they were willing to wait.

But now with the Soul Absorption Pill, they couldn’t carry out their plan.

"Big brother, you go, find the Thunder Emperor, I’ll block this guy!"

Elder Jian suddenly roared, charging at Ling Xiao.

As for Elder Cang, he bolted out of the Royal Palace, heading towards the Emperor’s Forbidden zone.

That was where the Thunder Emperor was secluded, it was the most secretive place in the Chen Dynasty, known only to the Great King of Chen Dynasty, no one else knew what secrets lay inside.

"Those who follow me shall thrive, those who resist shall perish!"

Ling Xiao coldly glanced at Elder Jian, who was rushing forward.

Before his breakthrough, he might have needed three or four moves to deal with this guy.

But now, just one move was enough.

The menacing serpent head darted out with blinding speed, biting Elder Jian’s neck.

Elder Jian died instantly.

"Xiao Jin, Tuo Ba Yun Xiang, protect the Seventh Prince, I’ll be back shortly!"

Ling Xiao could catch up to Elder Cang, but he didn’t pursue with all his strength.

Because he hoped Elder Cang could help him find the Thunder Emperor.

He genuinely wanted to know, after cultivation in this Emperor’s Forbidden zone, how powerful could the Thunder Emperor become.

Just the thought of it was exciting.

Elder Cang fled, glancing back as he ran, unable to spot Ling Xiao.

Yet he felt uneasy, constantly suspecting Ling Xiao was following, though he couldn’t perceive him.

"When you’re on the run, don’t look around, alright?"

Ling Xiao suddenly appeared, a little over a hundred meters away, coldly staring at Elder Cang, speaking indifferently.
