Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

“ Yue Wuxie, is it? We've heard of your deeds on land. You're considered gifted, able to reach the ninth floor of the Trial Tower, quite the talent. ”

Another voice came, and two more Sea River Clan youths arrived.

“ It's precisely because you have good talent that you should cherish it. ” A youth wearing brownish-yellow armor, with long whiskers on his lips, threatened and warned, “ A genius only has meaning if they can walk the path alive. A fallen genius is just a pile of withered bones. Any clan in our Sea River could crush you with a single finger. ”

“ Well, Yue Wuxie, listen to Brother Qian, do as he says, and then kneel and repent properly. That way, you can save your life. It's not that we're bullying you, but that you and your sect are too weak. In this world of the survival of the fittest, the weak must have the duty and attitude of the weak. ”

This was a youth wearing semi-transparent, bright armor, head held high, with an arrogant posture.

The Sea River Clan's dominance and barbarity angered the people in the city.

However, due to the Sea River Clan's power, people were angry but dared not speak out.

Countless eyes focused on Yue Wuxie and Princess Anning.

Everyone who witnessed this wanted to know what Yue Wuxie would do in the face of the Sea River Clan youths' provocation and arrogance. Would he endure silently, submit in humiliation, or confront them?

Although he had killed millions of enemies outside the city, displaying unparalleled divine prowess, that was under the circumstances of tribulation.

Now that the heavenly tribulation had long disappeared, how could he, who had just entered the Saint King realm, be a match for these young, powerful Sea River Clan experts who were said to have reached the Great Saint realm? The gap was too large. What was the use of high talent?

“ Sea River Clan, never heard of it. ” Jun Wuxie, having watched their performance, no longer remained silent and looked down at Anning, “ Have you heard of the Sea River Clan? ”

“ Nope. ”

Anning looked blank, cooperating perfectly with him.

Instantly, Xie Qian and the other young masters of the Sea River Clan turned incomparably gloomy.

That damned brat, just a disciple from a small land sect, dared to be so arrogant, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth!

“ You, break his legs and drag him over to this young master! ”

Xie Qian could hardly restrain the anger and killing intent in his heart and immediately ordered the two youths of his clan beside him.

“ Boy, our young master said to break your legs. Will you break your own legs, or do you want us to do it? ”

The two youths stepped towards Jun Wuxie.

“ Everyone, step back quickly! ”

Jun Wuxie scanned the people watching the commotion on both sides of the street and behind him, and the aura on his body began to release.

Behind him, Princess Anning also quickly retreated, clearing a large space.

Everyone hid behind the buildings or inside the houses.

The buildings here all had defensive runes, so hiding behind the buildings or inside the houses could block the impact of the energy aftermath.

“ You still want to resist? Presumptuous! A mere Saint King realm, to us, you are nothing but an ant! ”

The two youths laughed loudly. Someone who had just entered the Saint King realm actually wanted to go head-to-head with them.

The power difference between them, separated by an entire great realm, was unimaginable. They were not on the same level at all, separated by a natural chasm.

“ Seeking death. ”

Jun Wuxie stepped forward, and the aura on his body soared wildly.

The Taiji Star Sea within his body revolved, and crimson blood energy runes swirled between his palms and fingers.

He wanted to meet the two Sea River Clan experts head-on.

“ Boy, kneel down for me! ”

The two Sea River Clan youths, one stretched out his hand, suppressing down from the sky, and the other pointed forward, horizontally slashing a ray of finger light towards Jun Wuxie's legs.

They attacked very casually, as if they were dealing with someone who could not fight back.

In fact, in their view, the opponent had no chance to fight back. No matter how you looked at it, someone who had just entered the Saint King realm could not make an effective response to their attacks in the Great Saint realm.

Clang!

Almost at that moment, the dragon's roar resounded through the heavens and earth, shocking everyone's eardrums.

Jun Wuxie strode forward in the shape of a dragon, his black hair flying, with a crimson dragon on each side, following him forward and charging forward.

The two Sea River Clan youths' palm prints and finger light were instantly penetrated and shattered by the crimson dragons.

They were terrified, never expecting that someone who had just passed the Saint King tribulation could have such terrifying and abnormal strength.

As the crimson dragons charged, they hurriedly used means to defend and resist.

Clang!

Jun Wuxie grabbed forward with both palms at the same time.

The two youths were instantly bound by the dragons and forcibly pulled to his front.

“ You… what do you want to do? ”

Seeing the other party staring at them with cold eyes, the two Sea River Clan youths' eyes were fierce, and they scolded sternly.

“ Yue, if you dare to touch a hair on them today, this young master guarantees that you will be skinned and have your tendons drawn! ”

Xie Qian came back to his senses, his eyes twitching fiercely. He did not expect that brat's strength to be so terrifying.

How could someone who had just entered the Saint King realm be so strong? How did he do it?

“ Is that so? ”

Jun Wuxie's eyes were indifferent, and the blood energy between his palms suddenly spurted forward. With a clang, the bodies of the two Sea River Clan youths flew out with a bang, spitting out blood.

With a flick of his sleeve, the two bodies collided.

At the same time, the battle spear stuck in the street was swept up by him, cutting through the sky and catching up with the two Sea River Clan youths, piercing through their chests and nailing them to the archway at the end of the street, blood dripping down the spear shaft.

Not allowing Xie Qian and the others to react, Jun Wuxie pointed with his fingers.

The finger light cut through the sky, piercing through the space between the eyebrows of the two, killing them on the spot.

At the moment of death, the bodies of the two youths lit up with a brilliant light. In this light, their bodies quickly changed from human form into two crabs as big as washbasins.

“ I thought they were something, turns out they were just big crabs. No wonder they're so arrogant. ”

Jun Wuxie commented. He had already seen through the true forms of these Sea River Clan creatures. The Primordial True Eyes were not for nothing, and the Rune Dao pupil technique could also see through them.

“ Bastard! You dare to kill the young experts of our Sea River Clan in public! If we don't kill you here today, what face will our Sea River Clan have to mix on land! ”

Not only Xie Qian, but the other two young master-level figures of the Sea River Clan were also furious.

The Sea River Clan had always had an overwhelming advantage over the land forces of Qingzhou and were high above.

Today, their Great Saints were actually killed by a Saint King from the land.

If this matter was not avenged, it would be a great humiliation. What face would the Sea River Clan have to come ashore?

Xie Qian and the other two young master-level cultivators of the Sea River Clan immediately surrounded Jun Wuxie.

The aura on their bodies quickly rose, and each of them had a battle halberd in their hands, shining with the light of runes.

The intense halberd light soared into the sky, tearing apart the universe.

The terrifying killing intent instantly swept out, causing people to feel chills all over their bodies and tremble in their hearts.

Three battle halberds, blooming with sharp halberd light, locked onto Jun Wuxie and slashed forward, as if cutting through the space here in an instant.

The dazzling light made everyone reflexively squint their eyes.

Clang!

At this moment, the heavy sound of a sword resounded, shaking the sky above the city.

The powerful and fierce sword intent filled the heavens and the earth.

Boom!

In the loud noise, a heavy sword swept across the sky, revealing a terrifying scene of large mountains fracturing and collapsing.

All the attacks of the three young master-level figures were shattered, and the battle halberds in their hands were impacted, buzzing and trembling, their tiger's mouths splitting open, and the battle halberds flew out of their hands.

They hurriedly raised their hands to block in front of them.

Even so, they were still blasted away by the sword, and the air burst out with sonic booms.

The three vomited blood, their arm bones were broken, blood gushed from their chests, and they felt as if their bodies were falling apart, and all their meridians were broken.

That sword was too terrible.

They still remembered the heavy and fierce sword intent clearly.

The faces of the three were pale, and they no longer had the arrogant arrogance they had before. Seeing the human youth coming, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and a sense of fear quickly surged into their hearts.

Boom!

Jun Wuxie stepped towards the three. His speed was not fast, but his steps were rhythmic. Every step produced a rhythm in the air, causing Xie Qian and the others' hearts to contract involuntarily, as if stepping on their hearts.

“ Yue… Yue Wuxie! We are the young masters of the Sea River Clan! ”

Xie Qian was terrified. He felt the strong killing intent from the human youth.

“ Yue, if you dare to do this, you will offend our three Sea River Clans at the same time, and it will be a death feud. You will be endlessly pursued by our three clans! You better think carefully about the consequences. I advise you… ”

Pfft!

Before the youth wearing brownish-yellow armor could finish speaking, Jun Wuxie used his fingers as a sword, and a ray of crimson sword light slashed down, directly cutting the man in half.

The youth let out a shrill and short scream, and his body fell to the ground, turning into a brownish-yellow catfish that had been cut in half.

This scene frightened Xie Qian and the remaining Sea River Clan young master, and their legs began to cramp.

Never before had they felt death so close to them.

“ Yue Wuxie, you can't kill us! Otherwise, your sect will be implicated by you, and Princess Anning, have you ever thought that she will also encounter misfortune in the future? ”

Knowing that they could not threaten the youth himself, they could only try to threaten him with the people around him.

The corners of Jun Wuxie's mouth rose slightly, and his eyes became even colder.

“Wu Xie, spare him!” Just as he was about to strike, Prince Ning rushed over. Seeing the scene, his face was grave as he said, “You’ve stirred up enough trouble today. You absolutely cannot kill these two young masters of the Sea River Clan. Otherwise, it will inevitably intensify the conflict between the Sea River Clan and our land, leading to a land-sea war. The consequences are unimaginable!”

Seeing Prince Ning come out to stop him, Xie Qian felt a great relief, as if he had ascended from the abyss of hell to earthly paradise.

With Prince Ning here, his life was saved.

No matter how arrogant this Yue brat was, he wouldn't dare to disobey Prince Ning's orders in public, would he?

With a powerhouse like Prince Ning, who was at the half-step Overlord Saint Realm, Yue Wu Xie couldn't cause any trouble.

“Hey Yue, did you hear that? Do you dare to disobey Prince Ning's decree?” Xie Qian shouted. He then looked at Prince Ning and said, “Prince Ning, this person killed two members of my Xie family. How do you think this should be handled? I think you should cripple his blessed land, throw him over here, and make him kneel before me!”

Hearing these words, Prince Ning thought to himself, 'You really have a death wish.'

Just as he was thinking this and before he could speak, he saw Yue Wu Xie suddenly burst forth and arrive in front of Xie Qian in an instant.

“No!”

Xie Qian let out a terrified scream.

Poof!

His scream ended abruptly as his head exploded like a watermelon.

His corpse transformed back to its original form in a flash of light.

It was a crab the size of a washbasin, with a slightly shattered head, but it looked very meaty.

The surrounding people secretly swallowed their saliva. This “Chinese mitten crab” was so fat, it looked delicious. If only they could eat it.

It was a pity, though. They were too rare. Ordinary people didn't have the good fortune to taste them.

“Yue… Yue Wu Xie… Don’t kill me!”

The last remaining Sea River youth was scared out of his wits at this moment.

Even now, he was unwilling to accept this cruel reality.

The target was clearly just someone who had just entered the Saint King Realm, so how could he possess such abnormal strength?

Reversing the situation and defeating someone who had just entered the Great Saint Realm when only being in the Saint King Realm was unheard of since ancient times, overturning their extreme perception.

It wasn't that they underestimated the enemy, but that the opponent was too abnormal.

This time, they capsized in the gutter and were completely finished, with no chance in the future!

“Give me a reason not to kill you.”

Jun Wu Xie walked up to him, pointed to the crowd in the distance, where some Sea River creatures were watching the excitement, and said, “Do you see them? They are also Sea River creatures. Why wouldn't I kill them, but I have to kill you?”

Knowing that he was doomed today, the youth revealed a fierce look in his eyes and roared hysterically, “You will die a horrible death! How dare you provoke our Sea River Clan? What are you? A frog in a well, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth! Our clan has an Overlord Saint. Once he awakens, he will sweep through the Great Qian!”

“Noisy!”

Jun Wu Xie didn't want to listen to his nonsense. A finger beam sliced open his head, killing his soul.

In a flash of light, the youth instantly turned into a large prawn with its head sliced open.

Jun Wu Xie reached out, picked it up, and pulled it, removing the entire shrimp vein cleanly.

This prawn was two meters long and weighed hundreds of pounds. The shrimp meat, nourished by the Saint Spirit Essence, was crystal clear, tender, and nutritious.

Prince Ning watched him cleaning up the corpse of the Sea River Clan's young master as if no one else was around, the muscles on his face twitching slightly.

What kind of person was this?

He killed several young masters of the Sea River Clan without the slightest hesitation or fear, completely unafraid of the revenge from the clans in the Sea River.

He didn't know what he was relying on.

However, this was a good thing for him. The situation was even more perfect than he had planned.

He originally thought that Yue Wu Xie would kill at most one person from the Sea River Clan, but he didn't expect that he would actually kill several clans.

In this way, Yue Wu Xie had established several huge enemies in the Sea River Clan.

Prince Ning could rest assured and wait, sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight. No matter what the result, he could reap the benefits.

The surrounding crowd on the street breathed heavily.

No one had expected Yue Wu Xie's counterattack to be so fierce. Without even blinking an eye, he directly killed the provocative Sea River creatures and turned them into food.

Who else?

Since ancient times, who in Qingzhou dared to do this, treating the Sea River Clan as food?

It was always the Sea River Clan who was arrogant. Even the royal family was unwilling to offend the Sea River Clan.

Because although they didn't have a Rune Armor Army, the number of strong individuals was astonishing, and there were also ancestors at the Overlord Saint Realm sleeping. Once they awakened, they would probably sweep through Qingzhou. Who could compete with them?

“Prince Ning, tonight we have Chinese mitten crab and prawns. Shall we have a couple of drinks?”

“You eat it yourself. This prince is allergic to seafood, so I won’t accompany you.”

Prince Ning felt disgusted. Asking him to eat sea crab and prawns was probably trying to offend the Xie family and Ming family of the Sea River to death.

How could he fall for this trick? Maybe he would accidentally be recorded by Yue Wu Xie using rune techniques.

“It seems that Prince Ning is not someone who can enjoy good fortune. Seafood from the Great Saint Realm is not easy to obtain.” Jun Wu Xie looked at Anning, “Can you cook seafood?”

“Ah?” Anning was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly said, “I… I can learn…”

“Ninger!”

Prince Ning's face was as dark as ink. How could his daughter become like this?

In front of this brat, did she still have the status and dignity of a princess?

“Father, what's wrong?”

Anning looked at her father blankly, not knowing why he was angry.

Prince Ning opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

“That's good, leave these ingredients to you. Tonight, let me taste your cooking. If your father doesn't accompany us to eat seafood, then we'll slowly enjoy the delicious food ourselves. After eating, we'll enter the bridal chamber.”

“Ah?”

Anning was stunned, staring at him blankly, her beautiful face instantly turning red, even her neck was stained with blush.

“What ah, let's go.”

Jun Wu Xie grabbed Anning and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Prince Ning stood there, breathing deeply with his eyes closed, then breathing deeply again, and then found that deep breathing was useless. The more he breathed deeply, the more he felt a breath stuck in his chest, and his entire chest was about to explode.

Seeing that the brat had already taken his daughter away, Prince Ning hurriedly chased after them.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Anning happily took the ingredients and ran to the kitchen garden to ask the chefs there how to cook.

Prince Ning blocked Jun Wu Xie's path with a gloomy face.

“Prince Ning, is something the matter?”

Jun Wu Xie looked at him in surprise, with an expression of 'What exactly are you going to do?'

“Yue Wu Xie, stop pretending to be stupid with this prince!” Prince Ning now had the urge to slap him to death immediately, and said coldly, “What did you say outside just now? This prince warns you, if you dare to touch Ninger…”

“Stop!” Jun Wu Xie interrupted him and questioned, “What do you mean? You have already betrothed Anning to me, and we will be engaged in a few days. She is already mine. I can do whatever I want. Are you being too nosy?”

“Anyway, I will never let you touch her. You are not married yet, so don't mess up the etiquette!”

“None of your business. No, is it any of your business? Shall we make a bet? Tonight, I'll have Anning come to my room to serve me. See if she listens to you or to me.”

“Yue Wu Xie!”

Prince Ning instantly exploded, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, directly bristling, grabbing Jun Wu Xie's collar, staring at him fiercely.

At this moment, Prince Ning was completely unlike his usual calm appearance, where he planned strategies and had everything under control.

He was now very out of control, completely like a person about to lose his mind.

“Hey, I'm here.” Jun Wu Xie lowered his eyes and looked at Prince Ning's hand holding his collar, and said coldly, “Be gentle. The clothes on my body were made by my Aunt Jing herself. If you ruin them, I will be very unhappy.”

Prince Ning took a deep breath, forcibly restraining the anger and killing intent in his heart, and loosened his grip slightly, and said in a deep voice, “Say it! What will it take for you not to touch Ninger?”

“That might be a bit difficult. It was you, Prince Ning, who announced to the whole city that you were going to betroth Anning to me. Now everyone in the city knows that Anning is my wife. Isn't it a matter of course for a wife and husband to enter the bridal chamber?”

“You…” Prince Ning panted heavily, then his tone softened, and said, “This prince was wrong. I apologize to you. I shouldn’t have driven the Sea River Clan to deal with you, using this scheme of borrowing a knife to kill…”

Of course, he was clear that his scheme couldn't possibly deceive Yue Wu Xie.

It was originally a conspiracy, something placed on the surface.

Yue Wu Xie was dissatisfied with this matter and deliberately used his daughter to manipulate him.

“You love Anning very much.”

Jun Wu Xie saw a deep sense of loneliness in Prince Ning's eyes.

That was the helplessness of a generation of heroes.

Prince Ning had been strong all his life. In the past, he was so high above, holding the power of life and death.

Today, just to prevent him from touching Anning, he took the initiative to soften and personally apologized.

This made Jun Wu Xie somewhat shocked.

At this point, he knew Anning's position in Prince Ning's heart was much more important than he had originally imagined.

Even so, then his plan would be even better to carry out.

He was completely confident that he could make Prince Ning cooperate with all his affairs for Anning's sake, and finally willingly die.

As long as he could fulfill his lifelong dream before his death, even if it was only short-lived, he believed it would be considered a compensation for his regrets.

When the dream in his heart was fulfilled, and there were no more regrets left in his life, and he could leave a lasting legacy for his most cherished daughter, he believed he would make the right and helpless choice.

“Does Prince Ning want to taste Anning's cooking? How about having a couple of drinks tonight?”

Jun Wu Xie walked towards the kitchen, and Prince Ning stood in place for a moment, then followed.

“Do you have to kill me?”

While sitting at the table waiting for the dishes, Prince Ning looked at him and asked this question.

“Everything in this world has cause and effect. You planted the seed, and now you must bear the fruit. You must die; there is no way for you to live. But I can promise you that I will take good care of Anning, ensuring she possesses a status, position, power, and strength that others envy.”

“But this King does not want to die.”

Prince Ning suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. This youth made him feel helpless.

When his power proved ineffective against this Yue Wu Xie, he realized that he was completely at his mercy. Instead, he was constantly swayed by his emotions, finding himself incredibly passive.

“Yes, you don’t want to die, but you must die. Just think of it as being for Anning's sake. Your quiet death in the future will be the least painful thing for her. I believe you wouldn’t want to see her heartbroken and devastated.”

“Boy, you're ruthless enough, and I admire that about you. You are someone who will accomplish great things. If you can treat Ning'er sincerely, I can rest assured. I'm just afraid that after toying with her feelings, you'll only use her as a puppet!”

“A puppet? Even if she is a puppet, she will only be my puppet, second to none and above millions. What's the difference? Look at her current state. Do you think I still need to use soul-snatching methods on her?”

“Yue Wu Xie, have you ever considered that if Ning'er knew your plan, knew that you wanted to kill me, would she still trust you, still help you, still rely on you?”

“Whatever.” Jun Wu Xie spread his hands and said, “You are welcome to tell her, but that won’t change the outcome of your death. At most, I’ll abandon Anning and support the Crown Prince to take the throne. When the time comes, I'll kill the Crown Prince and replace him with another puppet. Although not as good a choice as Anning, it's still an option.”

“You cannot support the Crown Prince, and you cannot abandon Ning'er!”

Prince Ning grabbed his arm and said coldly, “Absolutely not! If you do that, Ning'er will hardly survive, and the people of the capital will surely kill her!”

“Therefore, I need Prince Ning to cooperate with me. However, during the process of cooperation, I can also allow you to try to kill me, because I know you won’t give up so easily. Whether you succeed or not depends on your ability. But I warn you, don’t attack my Qingyun, or you will regret it.”

“Young man, I admire your confidence!”

Prince Ning said no more, reached out and summoned a jar of old wine, pouring two full bowls.

He was not desperate now, at least some members of the Haihe tribe had not taken action.

This Yue Wu Xie, let him pass the Haihe tribes' test first.
