Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Kill Him

“The Shuiyue Empire must be unwilling to accept that they have missed the chance to be first in the Genius Rankings’ martial competition, as they’ve always taken first place in the past, acclaimed as the leader among the four nations. Now that the Grand Commander has suddenly snatched the first place, they naturally can’t stomach it.”

Mu Yunshan speculated, otherwise the Shuiyue Empire wouldn’t have suddenly issued a challenge.

“The Emperor of the Shuiyue Empire naturally won’t concede defeat,” Mu Tianyun said with a slight smile.

Feng Wuchen shrugged and said, “Since the Shuiyue Empire has sent out the challenge, wouldn’t it be shameful for our Empire if I didn’t accept it?”

“The Crown Prince of the Shuiyue Empire is very strong. Grand Commander, you must not underestimate him,” Mu Tianyun warned.

Feng Wuchen nodded, looking towards Chi Huang and said, “Chi Huang, you go back first, I will head to the Imperial Capital in a bit.”

“Yes!” Chi Huang answered respectfully and disappeared with a flicker of his body.

“Hiss…”

Seeing Chi Huang’s terrifying movement technique, all the disciples gasped in shock, having now witnessed it for themselves after only hearing rumors before.

“That’s… that’s incredible, he disappeared in an instant!”

“Is this the dreadful movement technique our senior brother told us about? In the blink of an eye, even his presence is gone!”

“I can’t believe it, not even the powerhouses from the Tianyuan Realm possess such terrifying speed, right?”

The disciples of the Xuantian Sect were in an uproar, with a mix of fear, envy, and excitement.

The strength to teleport was beyond the imagination of all Xuantian Sect disciples.

“Sect Master Mu, follow the method I told you, and in two months, their strength will certainly improve by a great margin. I will take my leave now,” Feng Wuchen said to Mu Tianyun.

He summoned the Kylin battle armor, its terribly violent and bloodthirsty aura wildly sweeping out, and with a shake of his wings, Feng Wuchen soared into the sky with extreme speed, leaving a vortex in his wake.

The disciples of the Xuantian Sect were startled once more, their eyes widening to the extreme.

“Farewell, Grand Commander!” Mu Tianyun and everyone else said respectfully.

“Boom!”

In the high sky, with another flap of his wings and a loud booming sound, Feng Wuchen turned into a black streak and shot away, vanishing into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Feng Wuchen’s terrifying speed, even Mu Tianyun, who was at the Yuandan Realm Ninth Level, couldn’t help but be shocked.

Chu Wuheng and the disciples of the Xuantian Sect were now petrified on the spot, their faces filled with fear and awe.

“The Grand Commander’s speed is truly fearsome. Even warriors at the Yuandan Realm Seventh Level do not possess such terrifying speed,” said Mu Yunshan with a start, inwardly sighing at his own inferiority.

With Feng Wuchen’s current dreadful speed, flying to the Imperial Capital wouldn’t take much time at all.

An hour later, Feng Wuchen had reached the Imperial Capital.

The Imperial Capital was a vast interlacing of densely packed buildings, immensely vast, incomparable to Tiandu, not even by ten thousandfold.

At the very center of the Imperial Capital stood an unimaginably massive palace, majestic and imposing!

That was the Imperial Palace of the Empire!

To avoid frightening the many officials in the Imperial Capital with his terrible aura, Feng Wuchen descended outside the city and ran all the way into the Imperial Capital.

If not for the challenge from the Shuiyue Empire, Feng Wuchen wouldn’t have planned to come to the Imperial Capital at all.

The Imperial Capital was rife with officials, their disciples everywhere, too much intrigue and too many troubles.

Feng Wuchen dashed towards the Imperial Palace with such speed that he was like a gust of wind, his form barely visible.

Dashing through the vast Imperial Capital, he ran in a straight line, watchtower after watchtower shrinking rapidly in the distance behind him.

On the wide avenue, a procession was just coming out from one of the cities, led by a man riding a horse, mighty in cultivation, with dozens of followers, and a luxurious carriage in tow.

As this group emerged from the city, the crowd outside the city gate stepped aside onto both sides of the street.

In the luxurious carriage, the person sitting inside obviously held a very high status.

“My lord, in the royal selection of a son-in-law, the young master is sure to come out on top. You need not worry,” said another man on horseback beside the luxurious carriage, respectfully.

“Hmm, apart from the royal princes, Lin’er is the best amongst the younger generation in the Imperial Capital,” came a light chuckle from the carriage.

“The young prince’s action is naturally for the princess’s sake. Although the young prince is the Empire’s number one genius, the young master won’t lose to him either; after all, the young master is several years older than the prince,” the horse-riding man said with a laugh.

“Whoosh!”

Just as they were talking, suddenly, a black shadow shot over at high speed from the left side of the city gate, its speed astonishing.

“How dare you be so presumptuous in the Imperial City!” The leading horseman, sensing something, bellowed angrily, ready to block the path.

But the black shadow was too fast; in the blink of an eye, it whisked past in front of the leading man, scaring the warhorse into a panic, and the luxurious carriage had to slam on the brakes.

In the sudden stop, the person in the carriage, due to inertia, was thrown out and hit his head on the horse’s rear before tumbling to the ground, screaming in pain.

“My lord!” The guards were all shocked.

“Outrageous! Stop right there!” shouted the man beside the carriage, “The audacity to scare Lord Yang!”

The two men spurred their True Yuan into action, chasing at full speed.

The black shadow that had passed them suddenly stopped.

This person was none other than Feng Wuchen, who was rushing to the royal palace.

Feng Wuchen’s speed was astonishing; it was impossible for him to weave through the city, he could only sprint past the city gate. If he were to enter, it would surely cause chaos.

“You brat! How dare you! Do you know who you’ve alarmed?” a man bellowed angrily, glaring at Feng Wuchen.

“Don’t you know the rules? How dare you charge around the Imperial Capital like this!” Another man shouted angrily, though he didn’t dare to strike directly.

Both were at the Second Level of the Yuandan Realm. Feng Wuchen’s terrifying speed was not below theirs, and his strength, apparently, was even greater.

However, this was the Imperial Capital, and no matter how strong, no one dared to act recklessly here!

They were under Lord Yang’s command and naturally, they weren’t afraid in the slightest!

“I’m really sorry.” Feng Wuchen said with an apologetic smile, having not expected a group of people to suddenly appear within the city.

“So audacious in the Imperial Capital, you don’t take this official seriously at all! Kill that brat for me!” Lord Yang, who had just been helped up after falling from his carriage, was in pain and yelled angrily at Feng Wuchen.

Lord Yang’s official hat had fallen off, and as he tumbled down from the carriage, leading with his head, it left him bleeding and in a sorry state. With so many people watching outside the city gate, it was no wonder he was furious.

Dozens of guards charged forward, surrounding Feng Wuchen, and even the Imperial City’s guards rushed down.

“Kill me?” Feng Wuchen blinked in surprise. Surely it hadn’t come to this?

“Hold on!” Feng Wuchen quickly said. “Esteemed official, I’m in a rush to the Royal Family, merely passing through the Imperial Capital. I had no idea you were coming out. It wasn’t intentional, and I’ve already apologized. I hope you can forgive this oversight.”

“Going to the Royal Family?” A man frowned slightly. The Royal Family wasn’t a place just anyone could enter. Feng Wuchen’s mention of going to the Royal Family indicated some background.

But Feng Wuchen was unfamiliar to them; they had never seen him before, and it seemed no young member of the Empire possessed such an astonishing speed.

“What are you waiting for? Kill that brat!” Lord Yang shouted furiously.

Feng Wuchen’s expression darkened slightly. It really seemed that the bigger the official, the bigger the temper!

Outside the city gate, the crowd of onlookers grew, murmuring among themselves.

“Isn’t that Lord Yang? Looks like the old coot fell off his carriage.”

“Who has the guts to offend even that old wretch? Offending him is almost certainly a death sentence.”

“Isn’t that Grand Commander Feng Wuchen? This is bad! Let’s hurry over!”

“Hold on! Don’t get involved, we’re just here to watch the show. Let them dig their own graves! Don’t drag our Ni family into this.”

The group of young men were actually members of the Ni family, led by none other than Ni Han!

The Ni family lived within the Imperial City!

If an incident occurred in the Imperial City, the Ni family couldn’t just stand by. If something happened to Lord Yang, the Ni family would have to take responsibility.

Among the first to charge were the two horse-riding men, who dared not disobey Lord Yang’s orders. The other guards joined the fray.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”

Feng Wuchen took action. With a swift movement, both men from the Yuandan Realm Second Level spat blood and were sent flying. In the blink of an eye, several more guards were spitting blood and flying out.

Feng Wuchen’s speed was shocking, his power fearsome. Within less than two minutes, all dozen guards were down, rolling on the ground.

The onlookers were stunned.

In less than two minutes, two men at the Second Level of the Yuandan Realm and dozens of guards had all been severely injured on the ground.

Even Lord Yang was dumbfounded.

Which young man had such formidable strength? Two strong men at the Second Level of the Yuandan Realm were heavily injured by a punch from Feng Wuchen!

As his gaze fixed on Lord Yang, Feng Wuchen said coldly, “You’d better think carefully if you want to kill me!”

Lord Yang’s face was filled with anger, contorted with ferocity as he yelled at Feng Wuchen, “Brat! I don’t care who you are. It’s not your turn to mess around in the Imperial Capital! I can kill you anytime I wish!”

Lord Yang, with high status and power in the Empire, naturally wouldn’t be afraid of Feng Wuchen.

As soon as Lord Yang finished speaking, a large number of guards emerged from the Imperial City, followed by the City Lord and many strong figures.

It was clear that someone had gone to report to the City Lord of the Imperial City.

No sooner had the City Lord and many strong figures appeared than the Ni family’s strong men also came through the gates.

Just as the Ni family’s strong men were about to approach Lord Yang, Ni Han stopped them.

“The Grand Commander is involved, do not interfere,” Ni Han said in a low voice.

“What? The Grand Commander?” The faces of about a dozen strong men from the Ni family changed drastically, turning to look over simultaneously.

Upon seeing Feng Wuchen, their eyes filled with fear and awe. The image of that terrifying young man floating above the Tianyun Sect flashed through their minds!

“Lord Yang,” the City Lord and many strong figures respectfully greeted.

“Kill that boy!” Lord Yang ordered fiercely, his eyes fixed menacingly on Feng Wuchen.

“You brat, who are you?” The City Lord of the Imperial City asked in a deep voice.

“If you want to take his side, then go ahead,” Feng Wuchen said indifferently, knowing that force was still the best way to solve problems.

“Kill him!” The City Lord of the Imperial City commanded without hesitation, his eyes narrowing, as a heavy aura of killing intent enveloped the area.
