“Alright!”

Jiang Yi nodded without any hesitation, but he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he spoke in a very serious tone, “Ruoxue, I can promise you this favor, and I can guarantee that I will seize both your royal uncles and let you punish them! But… you have to promise me that you will obediently stay here and don’t act blindly, okay?”

Su Ruoxue just nodded and didn’t say anything. She exhaustedly closed her eyes while Jiang Yi took a glance at her before turning to leave.

General Lu frantically followed closely and wanted to lead the way for Jiang Yi, but Jiang Yi’s face turned cold as he spoke, “You stay here and transfer over the military to guard Drifting Snow Palace. If Ruoxue, Xiaonu, and the little fox have one less hair on their bodies, I will kill all the soldiers in your Great Xia Kingdom, do you understand?”

“Understood, understood!”

General Lu nodded as though he was a little chicken pecking on the ground. He could feel the wrath in Jiang Yi’s heart and also his passionate love for Su Ruoxue. He immediately ordered for the military to guard the Drifting Snow Palace tightly before he sent his subordinates to follow Jiang Yi into the city.

In fact, there wasn’t even a need for anyone to lead the way.

Once Jiang Yi stepped out of the royal palace, he could hear the sounds of battle in the city. The city was in a state of chaos now, and many of the citizens were running towards his direction with faces of anxiety—as though they couldn’t bear this kind of life anymore. Sounds of children wailing could be heard everywhere, and the plaza in front of the royal palace was in a clump of mess and disorder.

“Dog sh*t!”

Jiang Yi let out a curse while he rushed in a straight line towards the center of the chaos. When there was no path ahead, he would leap onto the roofs of the houses and bounce off continuously like an agile ape.

One of the star spheres in Jiang Yi’s dantian had transformed. When wielding the Fire Dragon Sword, his combat strength was equivalent to a fifth-stage Soul Travel Realm expert. His speed was comparatively inferior, which was around the first stage of Soul Travel Realm. Despite the case, it was a terrifying speed, and Jiang Yi took just 45 minutes to arrive at the nearby vicinity of the battle.

He was standing on the rooftop of a restaurant, looking down at the clusters of people in the small plaza below. A few hundred houses in the surrounding had been destroyed, it was in a pathetic state, and there were thousands of corpses which were wearing commoner clothing. Jiang Yi was instantly infuriated as he enhanced his voice with essence force and burst out with a roar, “Everyone, stop right now; otherwise… I will kill without mercy!”

Jiang Yi’s roar was very loud, and it trembled in the ears of many people. His roar didn’t seem to have any prowess as everyone just paused for a moment before they began to fight again. There were some who were suddenly agitated as they glared at Jiang Yi. One of the Soul Travel Realm experts even shot out an essence force attack.

“You must be tired of living!”

Jiang Yi was completely furious as he leaped down from the tall building. While he was in mid-air, horrific killing aura poured out and enveloped the thousands of individuals below. The Fire Dragon Sword appeared in his hand, and after he poured in some essence force, two fire dragons were swimming in the sword and releasing a biting-cold aura presence. Jiang Yi yelled out again, “Do you believe I will slaughter all of you?”

This time, Jiang Yi didn’t have to say anything. With the Massacre Intent out, all the combatants were immediately immobilized while they looked fearfully at the descending Jiang Yi. Many of the martial artists with lower cultivation were kneeling on the ground and trembling due to the powerful killing aura.

“Jiang Yi?”

“Jiang Yi!”

“It is Lord Jiang!”

Countless voices echoed while Su Yu and Su Heng’s expressions immediately changed. The generals by their sides had grave expressions as well. There weren’t many experts left in the Great Xia Kingdom, and if Jiang Yi was to make a move, he would be able to slaughter the whole city effortlessly.

Bang!

Jiang Yi landed in the middle of the army; people in his nearby vicinity were kneeling on the ground because of the pressure from his aura presence. The plaza, which was very noisy, had turned into absolute silence—even the children crying from the distance had stopped.

Everyone locked their eyes on Jiang Yi. The commoners far away had forgotten they were in the midst of fleeing, and the entire atmosphere was extremely strange.

“Lord Jiang, you came just in time!”

Su Heng reacted very quickly as he immediately yelled out, “My Lord, quickly help us eliminate the renegade. Su Yu is scheming a mutiny, and he wants to kill me and Princess Ruoxue so that he can dominate the throne. His intentions are evil, and he should be punished!”

“Utter nonsense!”

Su Yu looked very similar to Su Heng, and his temperament was obviously very fiery as he immediately began to curse. “Su Heng, if you want to ascend to the throne, then go ahead…”

Swish!

Before Su Yu could finish talking, Jiang Yi immediately flew over towards Su Yu with lightning speed. Wherever Jiang Yi ran across, all the soldiers in his surroundings would be forced to kneel from the formidable killing aura.

Jiang Yi entered this army that numbered in tens of thousands while no one could resist against him. He pointed the Fire Dragon Sword at Su Yu from a distance and shouted, “If you don’t wish to die, then shut your mouth! Don’t resist!”

Su Yu panicked as he looked towards the generals by his side with pleading eyes. On his side was a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm general; but his eyes were flickering. He didn’t dare to make a reckless move. He looked on as Jiang Yi rushed over.

Swish!

The distance in between them was thousands of meters, but Jiang Yi took just a moment to arrive. His chilly eyes were fixed on that peak-stage Soul Travel Realm general and other Soul Travel Realm experts as he yelled out, “Get lost! Otherwise… die!”

Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent had enveloped everyone. Su Yu couldn’t even speak if he wanted to, he could only beg with his eyes as he looked at the generals.

“Retreat!”

Who would have guessed that the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm general just gritted his teeth and yelled out before retreating? The rest of the generals, who even had difficulties moving, could only grit their teeth and retreat as well.

Swish!

Jiang Yi flew over with rapid speed, clutching Su Yu by the neck and lifting him up into mid-air. Jiang Yi then went back to where he landed earlier. Duke Su Yu had plenty of guards, but no one dared to move. Under the influence of the Massacre Intent, they were immobilized, too.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Su Heng and the generals on his side had their eyes lighting up like stars at this moment. Su Heng’s expression was beaming with excitement as his body shook emotionally. On the contrary, the general and soldiers on Su Yu’s side were all discouragingly gray. Jiang Yi’s strength was too overwhelming, and if he supported Su Heng, then it would be a complete defeat for Su Yu’s side.

“Alright!”

Su Heng tried his best to restrain his body and voice from trembling as he shouted excitedly, “Lord Jiang has done a meritorious deed for capturing the renegade. When this Duke ascends to the throne, Lord Jiang shall be my first Marshal of the Kingdom!”

“Shut up!”

Jiang Yi flew back, but he didn’t stop. He was holding onto Su Yu while moving rapidly towards Su Heng as he similarly glared at the Soul Travel Realm experts on this side and yelled out, “All of you, get lost! Otherwise, I will kill without mercy!”

“Uh…”

Everyone was stunned. What was Jiang Yi trying to do?

Was he going to kill these two dukes and be the King himself? The Soul Travel Realm experts on this side hesitated. If Jiang Yi was truly intending to do so, then they would risk their lives and fight against him.

Jiang Yi could see the concern in their eyes as he revealed a mocking smile and said, “Don’t you worry, I will not kill them! I am not interested in the lousy position of King in your Great Xia Kingdom. If it wasn’t Ruoxue who asked for a favor, I wouldn’t even bother and just let all of you die…”

“Princess Ruoxue!”

Everyone was shocked. Princess Ruoxue was the goddess of the Great Xia Kingdom, and many of the generals revered this princess who was a rare prodigy that only appeared in Su Clan once in a century. During the war, Su Ruoxue commanded the army on behalf of Su Diwang, and she did it in an orderly manner with a great general’s poise. If it wasn’t for Su Ruoxue, Jiang Yi wouldn’t offer his assistance. It could also be said that Su Ruoxue had saved the Great Xia Kingdom.

The experts standing beside Su Heng all hesitated and backed out. Jiang Yi flew over, and he lifted Su Heng with his other hand after keeping the Fire Dragon Sword. He then flew rapidly towards the royal palace with any restraints and left a single statement: “All of you, withdraw! The Great Xia Kingdom has only left such a puny army, and you actually want an internal discord? Aren’t you ashamed if this gets out? If anyone dares to behave recklessly, I will kill their entire family!”
