Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Long Ao’s Ambition

Shi Feng’s battle with Shi Xuan was met by continuous booming sounds, and the fierce and violent energy ravaged in all directions, attracting an increasing number of onlookers.

Even Long Chen, under the protection of Yee Wuxie and Wu Xiaoyun, had led two thousand of the Black Crow Army, riding demon beasts, to the scene.

"Ha ha, the beast Shi Jintian, this beast Shi Jintian has finally been trampled underfoot by that kid Shi Feng! This beast has met his day, ha ha ha, it truly gladdens the heart!" Yee Wuxie, seeing the blood-colored Fire Man below and hearing its dismal howls, laughed heartily.

Many who heard Yee Wuxie’s laughter turned to look, "Who is this Martial King who hates Shi Jintian so much? He looks somewhat familiar!"

"It’s him! Him!" someone recognized Yee Wuxie and suddenly exclaimed, "This is none other than the Dark Martial Emperor, the former King of the South, Yee Wuxie! It was rumored that the Old Duke disappeared suddenly over a decade ago, and Shi Jintian took over his military authority, becoming the General of the South, guarding the southern frontier.

But back then, it was said that Shi Jintian was like a father and son with Old Yee, even taking Old Yee as his adopted father. Now that Old Yee laughs heartily to see Shi Jintian in such misfortune, could it be that Old Yee’s disappearance had something to do with Shi Jintian?"

"It must have been!" someone nearby nodded, "Now General of the South Shi Jintian is tortured by his son Shi Feng, while his other son Shi Xuan is trying to save him, and his adopted father is enjoying his torment. This is truly a feud of three generations, and it’s getting more and more interesting to watch."

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" Seeing his father Shi Jintian under the tyrant Shi Feng’s foot, being burned by the sinister blood fire and letting out heartbreakingly pitiful screams, Shi Xuan, though so close to his father, was unable to save him, fighting more and more furiously.

"Gun Flower Falling Rain!" Shi Xuan inverted his body in the void, flicked his long spear, and from it shook out a silver spear flower, which then exploded violently into fine needle-like beams of silver light that showered down like dense rain, falling towards Shi Feng below.

"Netherworld One Sword!" Shi Feng thrust his sword into the air, dense sword shadows meeting the silver rain, followed by the appearance of the Ghost Face Mask on his face, and a low shout: "Nine Nether Soul-shocking Seal, shake!"

"Ah!" His soul struck, Shi Xuan let out a great cry to the heavens, and by the time he came to his senses, a white Sword Qi was already piercing towards his head. He hastily parried with his spear, and as soon as the Sword Qi was blocked, his body, still inverted, spun rapidly, merging with the spear in Human Gun Integration, becoming a violent silver hurricane, rolling towards Shi Feng below.

Battling Shi Xuan, Shi Feng was also alarmed, sharing the same thought as Shi Xuan had earlier; in a short time since the last battle in the wasteland, this man’s battle power had increased significantly, and just by virtue of talent, he could indeed be considered a genius of his generation.

The onlookers were also growing more alarmed as they watched; these two Evil Demons battled so closely, each time almost landing a hit on the other, only for it to be narrowly avoided.

"If one could secure the allegiance of either of these unparalleled Evil Demons, what worries would there be about not achieving great things!" someone said as they watched the intense fight.

"Shi Jintian, to have fathered such monstrous sons, yet it is a pity he does not know how to cherish them. If both sons were at his disposal, who would be the Shi Family’s enemy in the Yunlai Empire? The Shi Family’s army would be invincible, what a pity, what a pity!"

"Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!" Just then, within the Imperial City, a thunderous laughter suddenly erupted, followed immediately by an imperious booming voice, "You truly are My good ministers, good brothers, good sons!"

This one voice drew everyone’s gaze toward the Imperial City; each face filled with shock because they were about to face the most authoritative person in the Yunlai Empire, the present Holy Emperor, Long Ao!

Within the Imperial City, black Demonic Qi towered to the sky, swiftly sweeping toward this side. Beneath the Demonic Qi, they saw an imposing golden figure, from whom this intense, heaven-piercing black Demonic Qi was emanating.

It was said that the present Holy Emperor Long Ao practiced the Power of Corrosion and the Bloodthirsty Demon Art, but unexpectedly, he had also cultivated such a mysterious Cultivation Technique that allowed his black Demonic Qi to surge skyward.

Dressed in a golden-clawed Golden Dragon Robe, Long Ao’s face was stern and majestic. The aura of a superior being naturally exuded from him, compelling those who saw his imposing figure to want to kneel in worship.

Long Ao stood proudly in the Void, hands clasped behind his back, striding step by step toward the North City Gate. The Holy Emperor Long Ao they saw today, with his stern and majestic face, was completely different from the sickly old man who seemed on the verge of death.

"Long Ao, you have done so much evil, slaughtering innocent civilians, you deserve to be executed!" Someone saw Long Ao striding forward and bellowed angrily.

"Exactly! Long Ao, you have caused widespread mourning for your own selfish desires, unworthy of being a monarch!" Another person shouted in rebuke.

"Long Ao, the thousand-year reign of my Long Family will be destroyed in your hands!" This time, a voice came from above the surging, mighty tidal waves. Beiling King Long Wei, floating above the tides, pointed at Long Ao and rebuked him angrily.

"Oh, Imperial Brother!" Seeing Beiling King Long Wei, Long Ao looked over with an indifferent expression and said, "Imperial Brother, are you planning to use the Tidal Wave Array to destroy the Imperial City that our ancestors built?" Although Long Ao’s tone was even, his voice echoed across the entire sky.

"Long Ao, how dare you speak of my Long Family’s ancestors?" Long Wei yelled, "You’re a criminal who destroyed our ancestors’ legacy! You slaughter your own siblings and even your biological sons; you’re a beast! Today, you must be executed!"

"Hmph!" Hearing Long Wei’s angry rebuke, Long Ao snorted disdainfully and said, "You short-sighted fools, how can you comprehend the grand vision within My chest!

For how many years now, our Yunlai Empire has been a mere Affiliated Country to the Heavenly Mist Empire, sending them vast amounts of treasure and resources every year! This disgrace, have any of you truly felt it? But why is that? Have you ever thought about it?"

Immediately afterward, Long Ao’s expression changed, and he said sternly, "Even though our Yunlai Empire has a vast population and strong military, we cannot contend with the numerous Martial Kings and Martial Sect experts from the Heavenly Mist Empire entering our country to slaughter, unable to resist them from destroying our nation! All because our Yunlai Empire Martial Artists are too weak!

But I! In order for our Yunlai Empire to become powerful, have cultivated diligently in Martial Arts all my life. Only a strong force can change the current situation of our Yunlai Empire, only power can make our Yunlai Empire mighty, and only power can expand our territory! A mere few million people killed, a few siblings slaughtered, a few useless waste of sons killed—if it makes our Yunlai Empire a vast and powerful nation, rising above all Eastern Domain Countries, then what of it!"
