Chapter 137: Dragon Abyss Sword Intent Unleashed, Straight for the Secret Realm!

“Who put you up to attacking me?!”

Xiao Teng viciously gripped Xiao Qian’s slender neck, his face twisted with ferocity.

His immensely powerful body, forged through Hard-Body Training, trembled with each breath.

An immense amount of Vital Blood and Internal Energy boiled within him.

Granny Wu and the others stood frozen in place, watching as Xiao Teng truly had murderous intent.

Xiao Qian’s weak struggle gradually faded.

They hurriedly tried to dissuade him. “Prince, do not act rashly! The Young Princess is already your last remaining child!?”

The moment he heard those words, Xiao Teng grew even more furious.

Both of his sons were gone. He had finally been left with one daughter, only for her to commit such monstrous disobedience and attack him.

She had directly destroyed his hope of breaking through into the Grandmaster realm!

But even after things had come to this, Xiao Teng could only loosen his hand in the end and fling Xiao Qian heavily to the ground.

“Who exactly misled you? Why did you do this?!”

After all, she was the daughter he had personally raised.

For her to commit such a monstrous act of disobedience, someone had to have led her astray.

Supporting herself with difficulty, Xiao Qian coughed up a mouthful of blood.

She knew that now that Xiao Teng had come out of seclusion, she had reached a dead end and could no longer escape his grasp.

She let out a bleak laugh. “You want to ask why I did it?”

“You stole my Dragon Blood and forced me to use my life to aid your cultivation, so why shouldn’t I do this?!”

At those words, Xiao Teng’s brows shot up and his eyes widened.

Behind him, several crimson Flood Dragons formed from Vital Blood churned in fury.

They forced Xiao Qian, who had only just managed to prop herself up, back down to the ground.

“What did you say?! Lin’er and Xiu’er gave their lives to save you! All you had to do was sacrifice yourself for Heavenly Fate. How could you possibly have any grievance?!”

“Have you forgotten the ancestral precept our forefather left behind on his deathbed?!”

Uphold the Righteous Path of Heavenly Fate!

For generation after generation, their only purpose was to overthrow the False Court!

As Descendants of Heavenly Fate, was it not only right and proper for them to sacrifice themselves for Heavenly Fate?!

“Heavenly Fate? What bullshit Heavenly Fate!”

Lying on the ground, Xiao Qian showed no remorse whatsoever.

“A man who failed in his struggle for power ended up getting generation after generation of his descendants killed! Why should I listen to anything he said?!”

Everyone was horrified.

The Young Princess had actually shown such disrespect toward the ancestor!

“What did you say?!”

One of the Vital Blood Flood Dragons behind Xiao Teng solidified further, becoming almost as real as a physical creature.

Roaring, it lunged to Xiao Qian’s front.

The force of it shook another mouthful of blood out of her.

Yet Xiao Qian was neither anxious nor afraid. Instead, she suddenly burst into laughter.

Within just a few days, she had experienced the deaths of her loved ones, suffered torment at the hands of the Jinyiwei, watched the faith in her heart collapse, and then committed an act of monstrous disobedience.

And now, her life itself was hanging by a thread.

After going through all of that, she had fallen completely into madness.

“Hahaha! You’re afraid, because I’m telling the truth!”

She raised her hand and pointed at the other martial artists of Prince Qing’s line as she laughed shrilly.

“You can’t break through to Grandmaster! Unless all of you use your lives to help him, I’ll die, and all of you will die too!”

Xiao Teng trembled with fury.

“Do not think I would not dare kill you!”

Xiao Qian sneered. “You may not dare, but I do! I only regret that I couldn’t kill you in a single strike!”

Boom!

The Vital Blood Flood Dragon came crashing down in frenzy and crushed Xiao Qian to pieces on the spot.

“Your Highness!”

Granny Wu had watched Xiao Qian grow up since childhood, and now she let out a shrill, grief-stricken scream.

The others were horrified, their bodies trembling.

They trembled not only because they had witnessed the Prince and the Young Princess, father and daughter, slaughter one another, but also because they had heard Xiao Qian’s final words.

They were all going to die!

Hidden among them, Cheng Fang stood there with his mouth hanging open, terror on his face.

Something had gone horribly wrong!

Now everything had become a complete mess. What about the things they had promised him?

“Who was it?!”

Xiao Teng’s furious roar rang out.

“Who exactly turned Qian’er into this?! I will tear him into ten thousand pieces!”

Only then did everyone suddenly react.

For the Young Princess to have become like this, someone must have been secretly manipulating things from behind the scenes.

And the answer flashed through their minds at once.

The most likely culprit was the Jinyiwei!

“It must have been Cheng Yu, that sinister and vicious dog of the False Court, who misled the Young Princess!!”

“The catastrophic losses our Heavenly Fate Lineage suffered today were all his doing as well!”

The moment Xiao Teng heard this, he snapped out of the fury and pain of being betrayed by his daughter.

Earlier, he had sensed too many bloodlines shattering and dissipating, which was why he had been forced to come out of seclusion.

Now, as he looked at the corpses strewn across the ground and the blood flowing together into streams, he roared, “Dog of the False Court! Where is that little bastard Cheng Yu?!”

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

“When you rebel, your whole household is supposed to be wiped out. You’ve merely lost your heirs. This is hardly anything yet.”

Everyone hurriedly looked over.

A figure dressed in a Flying Fish Uniform and wearing a Xiuchun Saber at his waist appeared.

Looking at Xiao Qian’s miserable death, Cheng Yu shook his head.

“You traitorous rebels truly are monstrously disobedient. At the slightest turn, you even demand the lives of your own sons and daughters. No wonder she wanted to kill you.”

The people of Prince Qing’s line instantly flew into a towering rage.

How could a dog of the False Court be allowed to make glib comments about the affairs of their Heavenly Fate Lineage?!

What made it even more hateful was that Xiao Qian had clearly been misled by Cheng Yu into committing such a monstrous mistake.

And now he still had the nerve to make sarcastic remarks!

All of them turned red-eyed stares upon him.

Then they suddenly realized something was wrong.

Cheng Yu had actually entered the area covered by the Secret Realm!

That meant he would be weakened by the power of the Secret Realm, and that Ninth Rank swordsman would no longer be able to save him!

A Seventh-Rank martial artist who had secretly adored Xiao Qian was instantly consumed by rage.

The chief culprit actually dared to throw himself into the net!

Vital Blood erupted from him as he suddenly burst forward and ferociously attacked Cheng Yu.

Even though Xiao Qian had only ever had eyes for Tie Ke and had never truly looked at him even once, he still wanted to avenge his true love!

“Die!”

With the Secret Realm’s blessing upon him, he would personally kill that hateful Cheng Yu and avenge Xiao Qian!

At the sight, Cheng Yu let out a cold laugh.

One after another had died, and still they refused to learn their lesson!

The Thousand-Forged Ice-Thunder Xiuchun Saber in his hand slashed out, and he unleashed his full power without holding anything back.

An instant later, a bloody wound burst open across the man’s chest.

The martial artist lowered his head blankly to look at the wound, then said in despair, “Your strength... why...”

Cheng Yu had entered the range of the Secret Realm, yet he had not been weakened in the slightest.

How was that possible?!

Cheng Yu calmly sheathed his saber.

The Secret Realm weakened Upper Three Ranks martial artists. What did that have to do with a mere Sixth Rank like him?

Granny Wu reacted the fastest and shrieked, “He is only Sixth Rank now. If he is already this terrifying, what will become of him in the future? This child cannot be allowed to live!”

She spoke in panic, but she did not dare strike recklessly.

She was afraid Cheng Yu had set another trap or ambush.

So she could only turn to Xiao Teng for help.

“Prince! It was this man who misled the Young Princess and committed monstrous crimes against our Heavenly Fate Lineage!”

Now that his bloodline had been wiped out, Xiao Teng’s eyes were bloodshot.

His gaze shot toward Cheng Yu like that of a savage beast.

“So it was you!”

Vital Blood spread out like a canopy, blotting out the sky, while the roaring blood-colored Flood Dragons howled.

“Die for me!”

Xiao Teng’s fist, thick with bulging muscle, blasted toward Cheng Yu with a sonic boom.

At the same time, the power of the entire Secret Realm behind him transformed into a massive crimson Flood Dragon.

It radiated a world-shaking pressure.

Yet Cheng Yu did not panic in the slightest.

In his hand, he suddenly held a black sword, from which mysterious Vital Blood spread out.

The Demon-Slaying Sword!

Cheng Yu raised the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, and a fierce, majestic power erupted.

A shadow of a dark-gold true dragon roared forth.

Dragon Abyss Sword Intent!

Carrying Dragon Might, the Sword Qi tore through the air and shot toward the Vital Blood Flood Dragon, which far surpassed it in size.

“Overestimating yourself!”

Xiao Teng roared in fury, not taking Cheng Yu’s counterattack seriously at all.

The Vital Blood Flood Dragon behind him howled as it prepared to crush the tiny opponent before it.

But in the very next moment, Dragon Might suddenly burst forth from within the Dragon Abyss Sword Qi and forced the Vital Blood Flood Dragon backward, step by step.

When Xiao Teng saw the collision between the two, his heart tightened.

“How is this possible?!”

Boom! Boom!

Thunderous explosions rang out, and the earth and mountains shook all around them.

Then an utterly dumbfounding scene appeared.

The Dragon Abyss Sword Qi did not clash head-on with the giant Vital Blood dragon at all.

Instead, it carved open a gap and shot through it without pausing for even an instant.

It headed straight for the depths of Iron Halberd Mountain.

Xiao Teng focused on the Sword Qi, and only then did he realize that something was wrong.

He turned to look at Cheng Yu.

But Cheng Yu was no longer standing where he had been.

He was already heading toward the Prince Qing Secret Realm!
