Chapter 503: Chapter 503: The Old King Deposed, the New King Established!
Countless firewood was already stacked around the Sacrificial Altar; as soon as Manluo Sha was escorted up to the high platform, she would be consumed by flames, reduced to ashes...
The King of Yin Country showed no trace of sympathy on his face, only anger and disgust as he glared at Manluo Sha.
Those in the audience did not hide their disdain, eyes full of hatred and loathing.
"Burn her!"
"Burn this shameless woman!"
"Burn her immediatelyâ"
Someone shouted, and the entire venue erupted with thunderous shouts.
Manluo Sha was brought to the altar, the pungent smell of gasoline from the firewood entering her nose...
The Eldest Prince escorted her to the altar, then flattering came to the King of Yin Country, "Father, everything is ready, the execution can proceed!"
The King of Yin Country nodded, then gestured him aside.
Then he slowly began, scolding in a stern voice, "Manluo Sha, do you know your crimes? If you confess your sins publicly, considering youâre my daughter, I might let you die a little more painlessly."
"Iâm innocent."
Manluo Sha raised her neck, stubbornly staring at him.
The King of Yin Country trembled with rage, "You... even now, you refuse to repent! You shame the Royal Family, you shame the Holy Temple, you have let so many people down, your crime is unforgivable, yet you dare claim innocence?!"
"If thatâs considered a crime? Then, as a useless ruler unworthy of your position, shouldnât you be more deserving of death?" Manluo Sha sneered, "Youâre the truly unforgivable one!"
"Iâm truly ashamed to have a daughter like you." The King of Yin Country, thus rebuked by Manluo Sha, grew even more furious, "Begin the execution, let her repent to the God, to the ancestors of the Royal Family!"
The Eldest Prince Taylor gave a flattering smile, "Father, her indiscretion already disgraces the Royal Family, since execution is required, it should be carried out by a member of the Royal Family, allow me to do it."
"Well, go ahead." The King of Yin impatiently waved his hand.
His demeanor was as if he wasnât about to execute his own daughter, but just a pig or dog.
Taylor, holding a torch, swaggered up to Manluo Sha, "Manluo Sha, rest assured, I wonât let you die quickly. Instead, youâll be slowly engulfed in flames, suffering unbearable pain, until you breathe your last..."
"Oh... after your death, Iâll soon send your brother down to accompany you!"
With that, he was about to toss the torch down.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Suddenly, a series of screams entered everyoneâs ears, as dozens of figures were flung through the altar gates.
"Clang! Clang!" A group of knife-wielding guards charged into the altar with murderous intent.
"Whatâs going on?" Chaos erupted in the venue, everyone was startled by the sudden turn of events.
Especially the King of Yin, whose gaze grew icy cold, shouting, "Who dares cause trouble here, are you attempting rebellion?"
"I do!" Tian Han shouted, sword at his waist, stepping out from the crowd.
"Brother..."
Seeing Tian Han charging in, tears welled in Manluo Shaâs eyes.
She certainly knew what would become of Tian Han for appearing here today!
The King of Yinâs face turned livid, "Tian Han, are you trying to incite rebellion? Even though youâre my son, committing such an act of treason, I wonât let you live!"
Tian Han replied coldly, "I came here today fully prepared to die, youâre old and muddled, itâs time for you to atone to mother!"
He drew his sharp sword, pointing it at the King of Yin, "Today, only one of us will leave alive."
"Outrageous! Outrageous!!"
The enraged King of Yin pounded his chair, gaze full of brutality, "Kill this reckless fool for me! Since heâs so reluctant to part with his sister, let them walk the Road to the Underworld together!"
"Taylor, do it!"
"Yes, father!" Taylor laughed maniacally, tossing the torch nonchalantly!
Just as the torch was about to ignite the firewood...
A Qi Force tore through the air, knocking the torch away!
"Did I say you could touch my woman?"
Chen Xiaoâs cold voice echoed, stepping out from among the guards.
His form quickly shifted, returning to his original appearance.
Taylorâs gaze turned ashen, then he sneered repeatedly, "So, youâre the scoundrel who disgraced our Yin Country Royal Family! Weâve been searching the world for you, and here youâve come to us! Just in time to catch you all at once."
Chen Xiao ignored him, smiling at Manluo Sha, "Manluo Sha, Iâm here, now, no one can hurt you."
Seeing Chen Xiao, Manluo Shaâs eyes filled with joy and worry, instantly bursting into tears, "How can you be so foolish, knowing youâre no match but still coming to die?"
She was thrilled Chen Xiao came, but after the joy came endless worry.
After all, with the Yin Country Royal Family and the Holy Sect, filled with masters, including two Martial Saints of the Human Realm here, how could Chen Xiao handle them alone?!
"Surround these people, leave no one alive." The King of Yin shouted.
Hundreds of guards immediately formed a dense wall, moving towards Chen Xiao and the others.
The Popeâs scepter appeared in Chen Xiaoâs hand, thunder erupting from it.
Looking at the charging guards, he swung the scepter suddenly!
"Clang! Clang!"
Countless arcs of electricity tore through the sky, spreading like a net in all directions, instantly striking the advancing guards.
In a split second, under the terrifying Thunder Power, hundreds of guards were all hit, screaming as they were knocked back, many dead or wounded, all losing the ability to fight!
This scene froze the eyes of everyone present!
This... this level of lethality is just too terrifying!
One move, and hundreds of guards lost their combat capability, itâs even scarier than a large-scale weapon!
Chen Xiao, expressionless, holding the Popeâs scepter, stepped towards Manluo Sha, "Today, dethrone the old king, establish the new king!"
As his arrogant words fell, it stirred up an uproar on site.
This guy actually dared to declare he wanted to depose the King of Yin?
Daring beyond belief!
The King of Yinâs face turned ashen, feeling as if he had lost a loved one, squeezing out venomous, furious words, "Boy! Today, I will tear you into pieces!"
"You donât have that ability." Chen Xiao replied coldly, "If I wanted to kill you, youâd already be a corpse."
Saying this, he continued to walk towards Manluo Sha.
Manluo Sha looked at the tall figure, eyes filled with admiration.
A man like this... itâs hard not to love him!
Even if Chen Xiao failed today, sheâd have no regrets dying.
Meanwhile, Taylor felt like he was being stared down by a fierce tiger, scrambling to crawl away from the altar.
"Do you think you can escape?" Chen Xiao waved the Popeâs scepter.
"Ahâ!" Taylor was struck by thunder on the spot, his body falling stiffly, charred black, twitching a few times, completely lifeless.
