Chapter 97. The Despair of the Great Xia Cultivators, Chu Yunxiao’s Ferocious Reputation!
Chu Yunxiao was incomparably domineering—arrogant to the extreme and contemptuous of everything, as though no one in the entire Great Chu Dynasty was worthy of his regard.
When this man had previously encountered the Third Prince, he had always been extremely disdainful, even humiliating him several times.
Chu Feng’s mind stirred, and he immediately understood the reason.
Chu Yunxiao’s arrival was undoubtedly because Chu Feng had killed An Tianyi—Chu Yunxiao’s Chief Follower.
That incident had made him feel an unbearable humiliation.
Thus, he had personally come here, dispatching the four ancient kingdoms in order to completely annihilate the Great Xia Dynasty.
Yet he had not expected that Chu Feng would also be here.
A trace of interest appeared at the corner of Chu Feng’s lips.
Within the Great Chu Imperial Palace, Chu Yunxiao’s prestige was overwhelming. He was so powerful that it seemed no one could match him.
Although he rarely stayed in the Imperial City, the city was filled with legends about him.
This alone was enough to show that his strength must be extraordinary.
After cultivating for so many years longer than Chu Feng, just what level had his cultivation reached?
If he were merely at the Venerable Realm, then there would be no meaning in fighting him.
To Chu Feng now, a mere Venerable Realm expert was not even worth a glance. Such a person simply was not qualified to be his opponent.
Hopefully, this Chu Yunxiao would be stronger.
Inside the Qiankun Hall, silence filled the air.
Everyone stared eagerly at Chu Feng.
After the Xia Emperor finished reporting the situation, Chu Feng did not say a single word.
At this moment, many people’s hearts tightened.
His Highness the Third Prince was not even speaking—why was that? Could it be that the arrival of the First Prince Chu Yunxiao had placed immense pressure on him?
But that was only natural.
After hearing of Chu Yunxiao’s terrifying reputation, everyone present in the court of the Great Xia Dynasty trembled inwardly.
That man was a peerless killing god!
Wherever he passed, not even grass would grow, and rivers would run red with blood!
At that moment, Chu Feng swept his gaze across the hall and saw the Xia Emperor and the numerous officials of Great Xia. He spoke calmly,
“What? Are you all afraid?”
Afraid?
Upon hearing this, the civil officials remained silent, saying nothing. Yet all of them had the same thought in their hearts.
Was that not obvious?
How could they not be afraid?
After all, that man was Chu Yunxiao—a figure infamous for countless brutal deeds. Chu Yunxiao had long cultivated along the borders of the Great Chu Dynasty.
From north to south, and from east to west, nearly every surrounding dynasty and ancient kingdom had been beaten down by Chu Yunxiao at some point.
His military achievements were extraordinary.
No one even knew how many cities of dynasties and ancient kingdoms he had slaughtered.
The Xia Emperor let out a bitter smile.
“Your Highness the Third Prince, please do not blame my officials. Chu Yunxiao’s ferocious reputation is widely known. It is said that the number of people who have died at his hands already exceeds one million. It is truly a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!”
“Moreover, a year ago it was already reported that Chu Yunxiao had reached the peak of the Venerable Realm. Now… he may very well have stepped into the Mighty Expert Realm!”
The Mighty Expert Realm…
Chu Yunxiao was still young, yet he had already reached the Mighty Expert Realm.
Such unparalleled talent was simply unbelievable—terrifying beyond measure.
One must know that within the Great Chu Dynasty, even reaching the Mighty Expert Realm would qualify someone to become an honored offering.
Yet Chu Yunxiao himself had already attained that level.
However, Chu Yunxiao was no ordinary person. As a peerless genius of the imperial family, how could his true combat power be measured merely by his cultivation realm?
As a top genius of the royal family, Chu Yunxiao naturally also had a Dao Protector behind him.
Without surprise, that Dao Protector would certainly be a Self-Severing Realm expert.
Chu Yunxiao’s arrival made the entire Great Xia Dynasty feel as though the sky had collapsed.
Upon hearing all this, Chu Feng’s expression did not change in the slightest.
He looked at the trembling Xia Emperor, then glanced at Xia Zixuan beside him.
“Your father has already grown senile. He no longer possesses even the slightest imperial dignity.”
“If he continues as the Xia Emperor, the Great Xia Dynasty will only decline further.”
“The forces that follow this prince do not need such useless people.”
“After this matter is settled, you will take control of the Great Xia Dynasty.”
Chu Feng spoke calmly, directly declaring the decision.
As his words fell, everyone present was stunned.
The Xia Emperor himself froze in place, unable to recover for a long time.
How had he just been removed from the throne like this?!
No… that was not the key issue.
The key question was how they could possibly resist Chu Yunxiao and the four ancient kingdoms!
Xia Zixuan was also stunned for a moment. Then she nodded, her expression complicated as she glanced deeply at her father.
Within this short period of time, Xia Zixuan had served Chu Feng countless times.
During those moments, she had gained a rough understanding of Chu Feng’s strength.
Chu Feng’s power was terrifying beyond imagination!
His physique was indescribable—without a doubt something hundreds of times stronger than her Nine-Five Imperial Physique!
Therefore, although Chu Yunxiao was frightening, in Chu Feng’s eyes he probably meant nothing at all.
Chu Feng said indifferently,
“A mere Chu Yunxiao has frightened you all to this extent?”
“So what if he has advanced to the Mighty Expert Realm?”
Hearing this, everyone’s eyes filled with shock.
What did Chu Feng’s words imply?
It seemed that he had absolutely no fear of Chu Yunxiao.
It was as though he truly possessed the confidence to suppress Chu Yunxiao with ease!
But Chu Yunxiao was so powerful—could such a thing truly be possible?
At that moment—
BOOM!
An endless wave of pressure suddenly appeared, spreading across the heavens and directly suppressing the entire Great Xia Imperial City.
Even within the Qiankun Hall, many people felt an incomparable sense of suffocation!
“Xia Emperor, you should come out and face death!”
“Today will be the day of your execution!”
“Other than you, the royal family of Great Xia and everyone in the Imperial City will die without exception!”
A cold voice filled with killing intent echoed between heaven and earth, spreading across a radius of one hundred thousand li.
Those words were spoken by Gu Huaiyun—the peak Mighty Expert Realm powerhouse.
“Let us go out and take a look,” Chu Feng said calmly.
This person was truly arrogant.
With that, he stepped forward first, and everyone else quickly followed behind him.
Outside—the countless armies of the four ancient kingdoms stood across the horizon like celestial soldiers and heavenly generals. Their bodies were covered in silver armor, and the sharp brilliance shining across the sky looked like countless silver suns.
Countless cultivators within the Imperial City looked up toward the horizon with uneasy expressions.
There, eight Mighty Expert Realm powerhouses stood proudly in the air.
Gu Huaiyun, the peak Mighty Expert Realm expert, stood at the forefront, overlooking the heavens.
BOOM.
At that moment, a figure slowly appeared above the Great Xia Imperial City.
It was an elderly man dressed in coarse linen robes.
His appearance and posture had aged to the extreme.
His entire body resembled a dying candle flickering in the wind.
At any moment, he might sit down and pass away on the spot.
This man was the Great Xia Dynasty’s only hidden foundation.
The Self-Severing Realm expert.
However, upon seeing Great Xia’s hidden foundation, Gu Huaiyun and the others all revealed cold smiles.
They felt not the slightest fear toward this Self-Severing Realm expert—only contempt.
Although Gu Huaiyun’s realm was lower than the old man’s, his vitality and blood energy far surpassed him.
Of course, the enormous gap between realms was difficult to bridge unless one was a peerless genius.
But this time, in order to deal with Great Xia’s hidden foundation, Gu Huaiyun had come prepared.
He had brought a mysterious treasure capable of killing this Self-Severing Realm expert.
