Xiao Yi looked at Sun Yao with an expressionless face.
A chilling aura emanated from him, so intense that it was like a bone-piercing cold wind that instantly covered the entrance of the Nangong Family estate.
All the strong ones standing close to Xiao Yi on the street shuddered uncontrollably under the assault of this cold wind, their faces turning pale.
Especially Qin Li on top of the horse-drawn carriage, already badly wounded, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood when faced with the cold montum from Xiao Yi.
He tumbled and scrambled down from the carriage.
Supporting himself on his hands, he crawled desperately towards the distance.
"General Qin..."
"General Qin, please stop..."
The several soldiers responsible for escorting Qin Li changed their expressions and quickly chased after him.
But Qin Li was roaring in terror, "Don't co near, Xiao Yi, don't you co any closer..."
His terrified posture was as if he had encountered a demon lord.
A dark yellow liquid continuously flowed between his legs.
As he kept crawling forward, a yellow stain dozens of ters long was dragged out on the ground, the foul sll of urine diffusing all around, making people frown.
Sun Yao's face was extrely unsightly.
Qin Li was one of the four main lieutenants under his command, practically his right-hand man.
But now...
Qin Li had been scared into a frantic escape by Xiao Yi's re presence, like a dog that had lost its ho.
Many of the strong ones gathered around had already recognized Qin Li's identity, looking at the disheveled figure and comnting, "Isn't that Qin Li, one of the four great Vajra Subdues Demons under General Sun? What happened to him?"
"To think he was called one of the four Vajra Subdues Demons with this behavior?"
"If he can be one of the Vajra Subdues Demons like this, what kind of useless lot are the others around Sun Yao?"
The whispers of the crowd were piercing to Sun Yao's ears, like venomous steel needles stabbing into him!
The four Vajra Subdues Demons.
Each one had been carefully cultivated by him as his trusted aides.
Over the years, Sun Yao had achieved great military feats with the four Vajra Subdues Demons, but now, Qin Li had turned all his years of hard work into nothing.
"Disgraceful trash..." a hint of coldness flashed in Sun Yao's eyes.
A young man with a black whip at his waist and a black mask covering half of his face stepped forward and stood beside Sun Yao.
Sun Yao said coldly, "Tie up this disgraceful trash!"
"Yes!"
This young man was Ghost God Whip Lin Xiao, a renowned expert comparable to Qin Li, one of the four Vajra Subdues Demons.
Lin Xiao walked towards Qin Li.
Whoosh!
With a flick of the black whip, it coiled around Qin Li's body, and with a vigorous tug, amid a whooshing sound of tearing the air, Qin Li was yanked back onto the carriage.
With a light tap on Qin Li's head, he fell unconscious.
Having dealt with Qin Li,
Lin Xiao then returned to stand silently beside Sun Yao, like a statue.
Sun Yao looked at Xiao Yi expressionlessly; their previous two confrontations had ended in his defeat, and he had lost both Jiang Feng and Qin Li, his capable henchn. However, his true motive for coming today was not to seek justice for Qin Li.
With this thought,
Sun Yao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yi, people are watching. I want to see just how long you can continue to be arrogant."
"I'm afraid you won't see acting low-key in your lifeti!"
Xiao Yi, impatient, waved his hand dismissively, "If you want revenge for Qin Li, bring it on. If not, then step aside; I didn't co here for you today!"
"Hmph!"
Sun Yao's face darkened, but he also knew he couldn't prevail in a war of words and coldly said, "As for Qin Li, it was his bet with you beforehand, I can overlook that. However, the Nangong Family has already pledged allegiance to my Unparalleled War King's Mansion; you cannot touch them!"
This was Sun Yao's purpose for coming.
To prevent Xiao Yi from acting against the Nangong Family.
To know...
The four great noble families had always maintained neutrality between the royal family and the Unparalleled War King.
Both the royal family and the Unparalleled War King were desperate to fully control the four families, a breakthrough had yet to be found. Now, the Nangong Family's pill shop had closed down, and this fake dicine incident caused them heavy losses.
They were truly desperate.
Under normal circumstances...
The Nangong Family's first choice would undoubtedly have been Emperor Qian, but the relationship between Emperor Qian and Xiao Yi had led them to seek out the Unparalleled War King.
For the Unparalleled War King, the Nangong Family was of great importance.
As long as they held the Nangong Family firmly in their grip, they could then use them to infiltrate the Beitang Family.
And thus, gained control over two of the four great families.
That is precisely why...
Sun Yao had appeared here.
To prevent Xiao Yi from forcing the Nangong Family to honor their bet.
Xiao Yi looked at Sun Yao with an indifferent gaze, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a chilling, cold smile, "There's a wager between Nangong Shengtian and , on what basis do you say I can't act, and I should heed your words?"
Sun Yao, standing squarely in front of Xiao Yi, threatened with a chilly tone, "Xiao Yi, I advise you to think carefully before you speak. I'm here on behalf of the Unparalleled War King today."
"The Unparalleled War King?"
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow.
"Indeed!"
Sun Yao folded his arms across his chest, his face displaying conceited pride.
Within the Great Qian Dynasty, he was one of the two n with the greatest authority.
A presence second only to the Emperor Qian!
Who would dare not give him face?
Sun Yao didn't believe that Xiao Yi would dare to defy the Unparalleled War King.
The multitude of powerful individuals from the Nangong Family behind Sun Yao all breathed sighs of relief, their looks towards Xiao Yi filled with mockery and scorn. Nangong Shengtian laughed heartily, feeling fortunate as if he had survived a great disaster, "Xiao Yi, weren't you so arrogant? Dare you disobey the orders of the Unparalleled War King?"
Sun Yao stood there complacent, fearless because of his backing.
However...
As they basked in their self-satisfaction, Xiao Yi let out a breath and responded indifferently, "I hadn't expected the Nangong Family to already be under the command of the Unparalleled War King."
"A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in, what's wrong with that?"
"With the support of the Unparalleled War King, even if those dicine shops don't do business, we can still supply elixirs to the army under the Prince's command. The Nangong Family will still stand tall!"
"Xiao Yi, I'm afraid your plans will fall through!"
The people of the Nangong Family spoke one after another, their words infused with triumph and provocation.
Sun Yao slightly tilted his head, speaking indifferently, "By the Prince's verbal decree, the bet between Xiao Yi and Nangong Shengtian is hereby nullified! Xiao Yi, you may leave now!"
Whoosh!
Xiao Yi let out a long sigh, shaking his head lightly, "Nangong Shengtian, since you insist on being dishonest and refuse to honor the bet, I guess I'll have to settle this my own way!"
"Hmm?"
Nangong Shengtian startled.
Sun Yao frowned, "Xiao Yi, did you not hear what I said? The Prince has ordered the cancellation of your bet with Nangong Shengtian, and you still refuse to see reason? Are you going to openly oppose the Prince?"
"Heh, since the Unparalleled War King has given an order, naturally I'll comply. The bet is cancelled indeed. However..."
Xiao Yi's mouth curved slightly upwards, looking at Sun Yao's face with that smug and confident expression, he laughed coldly, "The Prince didn't say I couldn't seek revenge on Nangong Shengtian!"
"Revenge?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "On the day of my tribulation, Nangong Shengtian attempted to interfere with the Heavenly Tribulation, nearly causing my death beneath the tribulation lightning. This is a personal grudge, and even the Unparalleled War King has no right to intervene!"
"Wait a minute..."
Sun Yao suddenly spoke up, intent on intervening.
But Xiao Yi's figure had already disappeared in front of him like a phantom.
Swish!
"Be careful..."
Sun Yao spun around sharply, looking towards Nangong Shengtian.
At that mont, Nangong Shengtian, already incredibly weak, only realized what was happening when it was too late. He saw Xiao Yi appearing in front of him. As the hand descended from the air, Nangong Shengtian subconsciously brought his hands above his head to block.
Bang!
In a burst of cracking sounds,
Nangong Shengtian's arms shattered completely, a scream of agony escaping his lips.
But that scream also abruptly ceased.
There was only the humming sound of a dull thump.
"Vajra Subdues Demons!"
Xiao Yi's palm fell like a small mountain, thundering down. Behind him, a surge of golden light spread out as if he were a Wrathful Vajra, his huge surge of qi manifested in his palm, which slamd down onto Nangong Shengtian with a thud, covering him completely.
Hiss!
All was silent between heaven and earth.
When the dust settled, Xiao Yi landed back in front of Sun Yao.
In the very spot where the palm had struck, a massive palm imprint lay on the ground.
At the center of the palm imprint,
A mass of pulped flesh was intermixed with blood, a ghastly sight...
