Almost without any resistance, the Soul Douluo with a soul power rank of 85, was killed by Qin Xiao with a single punch!
Everyone witnessed it and couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Instant kill!
It was an instant kill again!
Just like with Xue Xing, it was the same against this loyalist who fought to the death.
Silence.
Dead silence.
Everyone unconsciously looked up to the figure high above in the sky.
As if, he were a god descending from the heavens.
"See that?"
"The situation has been settled, the mastermind Xue Xing has been subdued, do you still wish to struggle futilely?"
"Do you want to accompany Xue Xing in death?"
"From now on, if you lay down your weapons, I, Xue Qinghe, guarantee with the honor of the Crown Prince, you will be dealt with leniently. If you atone for your sins by capturing the traitors, your merits and crimes will offset each other!"
Suddenly, the voice of Xue Qinghe rose in the field, reaching everyone's ears.
"Clang."
An Imperial Guard discarded his long sword.
His action triggered a chain reaction.
In the blink of an eye, already hundreds of people had thrown away their weapons and given up resistance.
"Damn, who stabbed me in the kidney!"
Suddenly, a loyalist clad in black screamed out.
A long sword was already implanted in his waist.
He turned around and saw that the person who had struck was the very comrade who had just been fighting alongside him…
Loyalists can betray too?
The answer is of course.
When those who could bind them could no longer do so, they too harbored a desire for freedom and took tangible actions.
Similarly, this act also set off a significant chain reaction.
One by one, the loyalists clad in black fell down.
There were even voices saying:
"Shit, I wanted to defect too, don't chop me..."
Everyone:....
"What a bunch of spineless wretches..."
Xue Xing's voice seemed as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth.
In no time at all.
The sounds of battle cries gradually stopped.
Previously, in front of the great hall, there were at least a thousand people.
Now, there were at most fewer than five hundred.
Half were dead or injured.
Boom!
Xue Xing was thrown down from the sky by Qin Xiao, heavily crashing onto the ground.
His injuries grew even more severe.
His combat power reduced to less than one-tenth.
"Thank you for your assistance, Your Highness, Qinghe is deeply grateful!"
Xue Qinghe bowed to the lofty figure of Qin Xiao, his face full of gratitude.
This was heartfelt; frankly speaking, if not for Qin Xiao's intervention, he wasn't sure whether he could still be standing.
After all, Xue Xing's strength was truly surprising, his sudden outbreak caught everyone off guard.
Qin Xiao said indifferently, "I have fulfilled your request, we are even now."
Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit of resentment in his heart while also secretly remarking, what a cold and ruthless man...
"Your Majesty, the rebellion has been quelled, please take control of the situation!"
At this moment, Dream Divine Machine spoke reverently to the Imperial Palace Hall.
"Good!"
Soon, a weak voice came from Emperor Xue Ye inside the great hall.
Qin Xiao waited a long time, and amid an infuriating noise, the tightly closed doors of the grand hall opened.
He saw an elder dressed in magnificent garments walk out.
"With that look of being on death's door, this must definitely be the Emperor Xue Ye of the Tiandou Empire," Qin Xiao thought to himself.
When Emperor Xue Ye appeared, the first thing he did wasn't to deal with Xue Xing and Avalanche, but to bow deeply towards Qin Xiao and say with gratitude, "Xue Ye thanks Mr. Qin!"
"Your Majesty, you are too kind, I was merely repaying a favor owed to the Crown Prince," Qin Xiao said, then slowly landed and stood off to the side.
Looking completely unconcerned.
"After this affair is settled, Xue Ye will surely thank you properly."
After Emperor Xue Ye finished speaking, he looked towards Xue Xing.
Meanwhile, Xue Xing also managed to stand up shakily, his gaze cold as he looked towards Emperor Xue Ye in the distance.
Avalanche also somehow came to his side.
"Don't you have anything you wish to say to me?"
Emperor Xue Ye's eyes were filled with a sorrowful look as he gazed at his own younger brother.
"Say what?"
In contrast, Xue Xing gave a miserable smile.
"Haha, to the victor go the spoils; is there really anything left to say?"
"Do you really want me to kneel and beg you, would that satisfy you?"
"But, ask yourself, even if I begged you, would you let me go?"
Surprisingly, Xue Xing started launching a barrage of rhetorical questions.
Qin Xiao nodded to himself as he watched, his respect for Xue Xing's intellect and demeanor increasing.
He showed none of the tearful, kneeling begging, full of regret, usually seen in novels.
Actually, this was quite normal.
On the other hand, after hearing Xue Xing's words, Emperor Xue Ye fell silent.
A flash of complexity crossed his eyes, clearly contemplating how to deal with Xue Xing.
Thump.
At that moment, Avalanche suddenly knelt down.
"Father, your son knows his mistake, can you forgive me?"
Xue Xing was not afraid of death, but he could not afford to not be afraid.
After all, he was just a rich and spoiled brat pretending to be unruly.
"Spineless trash, I knew you couldn't be supported," said Xue Xing looking down at Avalanche, full of disdain.
In contrast, Avalanche's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Father, it was all Xue Xing, he was behind everything, I was just a puppet in his hands."
"Entering the palace to rebel was really not my intention."
"Father..."
However, Avalanche's pleading did not evoke Emperor Xue Ye's forgiveness; rather, it made the emperor's anger on his face grow even fiercer.
"Silence!"
"You have a wolf's ambition, yet you are without virtue or ability. Do you really think you are fit to sit on the imperial throne?"
"From this moment forth, you are no longer a prince of the Empire, nor are you my son."
"Guards, take him away. Choose a day to banish him to the barren frontiers, never to return to Tian Dou Imperial City!"
Emperor Xue Ye pointed at Avalanche and said coldly.
"What!"
"Father, please reconsider, I am your flesh and blood."
"Father, Brother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"I am willing to return to my fief and live out my days in obscurity."
Avalanche's face was a picture of panic, and he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Being exiled to the barren frontiers was not a trip of leisure and luxury.
It meant hard labor.
And with the remote and harsh environment of the frontiers, in Avalanche's eyes, it was even worse than death.
However.
It was all in vain.
"Take him away."
Emperor Xue Ye did not wish to say more and waved his hand.
"Yes."
Zhi Lin stepped forward and, like picking up a chick, carried Avalanche away.
"Xue Xing, do you realize your wrongs?"
At that moment, Emperor Xue Ye's gaze fell on Xue Xing.
Wrongs?
Xue Xing was momentarily stunned and then nodded, "I was wrong, I indeed was wrong."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Xiao, "I was wrong to have heeded Avalanche's slanders and provoked such a formidable enemy."
This was Xue Xing's greatest regret.
If it were not for a formidable opponent like Qin Xiao standing against him, how could he possibly have lost?
"My fault, is it?" Qin Xiao shrugged indifferently.
"Guards, take Xue Xing away as well. Tomorrow I shall judge him publicly!"
Emperor Xue Ye, massaging his temples with a hint of a headache, spoke in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Bai Baoshan solemnly complied.
However.
Before he could approach, Xue Xing suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, judge me? I, Xue Xing, even in defeat, am not someone you can point fingers at, and no one has the right to judge me!"
As his voice fell, Xue Xing's body once again erupted with a powerful soul power fluctuation.
"Protect His Majesty!"
Dream Divine Machine and Bai Baoshan, one on each side, quickly shielded Emperor Xue Ye behind them.
However.
Xue Xing had no intention of making a desperate last stand...
To the shock of everyone, he used his Soul Power to shatter his own meridians.
His life force quickly faded away.
"He committed suicide."
Qin Xiao quietly noted in his heart.
One had to say, Xue Xing's end was unexpected.
The scene immediately quieted down.
Thud thud thud.
After an indeterminate amount of time, a series of rapid footsteps came from outside the imperial palace.
Instinctively, everyone looked over.
Figures clad in Battle Armor were hastening toward them.
"Protect the Emperor!"
"Quick, protect the Emperor!"
These people were crying out one after another.
Only...
Before they could flex their muscles, they were all rooted to the spot in shock.
The battle, it seemed, was over?
"Your Majesty, your servant has arrived too late!"
At that moment, an old man in Battle Armor, exuding a commanding presence, emerged from the crowd and knelt on one knee before Emperor Xue Ye.
His face was full of shame.
"Ge Long, rise. It is good that you've returned,"
"Besides, am I not unharmed?" Emperor Xue Ye finally showed a relieved smile.
So this is Empire Marshal Ge Long? Qin Xiao nodded slightly, noting the man's imposing demeanor.
"President Meng, Commissioner Bai, thanks to you both for ensuring His Majesty's safety,"
"Ge Long offers his thanks to you both!" After hearing Emperor Xue Ye's words, Marshal Ge Long gratefully looked toward Dream Divine Machine and Bai Baoshan, who stood beside the Emperor.
Yet, both of them shook their heads at the same time.
"Marshal, you are too kind..."
"In fact, the person you should thank the most is not me, but Mr. Qin," Bai Baoshan said, not daring to take the credit.
Without a doubt, if it had not been for Qin Xiao, they were not even sure they could have left their bodies intact.
"Yes, if Mr. Qin had not taken action, Xue Xing, that wolf-hearted man, might really have succeeded," Dream Divine Machine also thought back to the previous events with a shudder of fear.
"Mr. Qin? Who is this Mr. Qin?"
Ge Long was surprised, as he did not remember a powerful character named Qin in the Tiandou Empire.
"Ge Long, Mr. Qin is right behind you,"
Emperor Xue Ye reminded Marshal Ge Long.
"Behind?"
Marshal Ge Long subconsciously turned to look.
The first person he saw was Qin Xiao.
"This young man indeed possesses an extraordinary aura. Among the crowd, he stands out as a crane among chickens, a promising seedling."
Marshal Ge Long silently appraised in his heart, but quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere and continued searching.
He did not believe that Qin Xiao was the Mr. Qin held in high esteem by the two great Education Committee members and Emperor Xue Ye.
In his view, to fit such credentials, it would surely have to be an aged Titled Douluo-level Expert, right?
Seeing this, everyone helplessly shook their heads. Was Qin Xiao, who was so prominent, really invisible to him?
If his eyes were no longer useful, he should donate them to someone in need.
"Fleet Admiral, this is Qin Xiao, Mr. Qin."
Just as Marshal Ge Long was at a loss for words, a pale-faced Xue Qinghe came to Qin Xiao's side to introduce him to Marshal Ge Long.
"What?"
"Is it really this kid?"
Marshal Ge Long was shocked and turned pale.
He was completely stunned by Xue Qinghe's words.
"Ge Long, do not be disrespectful to Mr. Qin. Despite his young age, he is a genuine Titled Douluo-level Expert."
Emperor Xue Ye's voice resounded throughout the area.
Of course, it also reached Marshal Ge Long's ears.
"Your Majesty, you... you're not joking with me, are you?"
"He... no, this Mr. Qin, at such a young age, is really a Titled Douluo Expert?"
Marshal Ge Long numbly looked towards Emperor Xue Ye.
Just to see, not only was Emperor Xue Ye's face serious, but also those like Bai Baoshan and Dream Divine Machine beside him were very serious,
Clearly...
It was not a joke.
Glug!
Marshal Ge Long forcefully swallowed his saliva.
He believed it; it was real.
This... this was actually true?!
Immediately, he gave Qin Xiao a bow, "Marshal Ge Long has been offensive, please do not take offense, Mr. Qin."
Qin Xiao shook his head, "Ignorance is not a sin."
Then.
He said to Emperor Xue Ye: "Now that the matter here is over, Qin is after all an outsider, so I will take my leave."
He proposed his farewell.
After all, his business was done, and he did not wish to deal with the ensuing mess.
"Mr. Qin, please do as you like."
"Xue Ye will surely repay you generously in the future."
Emperor Xue Ye said to Qin Xiao with respect.
In response, Qin Xiao nodded slightly.
He turned and walked towards the exit of the imperial palace, and the crowd spontaneously cleared a path for him.
In almost every person's eyes were filled with respect and admiration.
Qin Xiao, like a deity descending to earth, with his overwhelming figure, they would never forget in their lives.
Even Xue Qinghe's eyes contained unstoppable wonder.
The figure of this man had unknowingly become imprinted in his heart.
But, perhaps because he was too relaxed,
a feeling of fatigue and weakness suddenly surged into Xue Qinghe's heart.
He felt darkness closing in before his eyes, and his whole person plunged into an endless abyss of darkness.
"Crown Prince!"
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you!"
"..."
Not having gone far, Qin Xiao heard a series of exclaims from behind him.
He turned to look and found that Xue Qinghe had collapsed on the ground, seemingly having lost all consciousness.
It must be said that this was a very dangerous situation for Xue Qinghe.
"Damn it."
"What is this? It's very dangerous. Big brother... darn, big sister, are you trying to reveal your identity just after I settled the matter for you?"
"Avalanche isn't dead yet."
Qin Xiao was already beyond words, and at the same moment, he thought of many things.
If someone were to touch Xue Qinghe, it could very likely expose his true identity.
In such a case,
the throne of the Tiandou Empire, would fly away again...
He looked at Dream Divine Machine, Bai Baoshan, and others who were rushing towards Xue Qinghe and immediately shouted, "Wait!"
Even sparing no effort, he used his Soul Power to project his voice with a thunderous sound.
His voice, accompanied by powerful Soul Power, made people's heads buzz.
But it must be said, this method was also very effective.
Everyone instinctively stopped in their tracks, looking at Qin Xiao with confusion.
"Your Highness, what is this?" Dream Divine Machine dared to ask.
"What I mean is..."
"Let him go, let me do this!"
Qin Xiao spoke, and with one step, the next moment he crossed a distance of several dozen meters and appeared in front of Xue Qinghe.
...
I'll organize my thoughts today and add more tomorrow.
