Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law Chapter 155 The King of the Southern Territory Stands Again

Lord of the Hundred Herbs Realm, Xiao Jingyuan, appeared unruffled as he coldly chided, "What's with all the panic? How many tis have I told you, remain calm and composed when sothing happens. Don't disgrace our Hundred Herbs Realm. Now tell , who has co from the main base of the Southern Territory?"

The Hengling Domain Lord couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, "No matter who they are, with us three Domain Lords here, even if that Dugu Ming shows up, it won't make a difference!"

The Lord of Nan Dong quickly agreed, "Exactly, with us three protecting the Southern Border National Gate, who would dare to move against us? If they did, I'm afraid even the South Gate of Xuanyuan Nation would fall, and Ancient Yue Kingdom would certainly seize the opportunity to invade!"

The guard regained so composure and answered, "Reporting to the Domain Lord, it's the Southern King. The Southern King has co, and not just him, but also several Great Commanders, and even the Four Great Protectors. Even that Northern King you ntioned before--they've all co!"

"What?" Xiao Jingyuan leapt up from his chair, his deanor no longer calm, his face betraying his shock.

The Lord of Nan Dong was so frightened that he turned pale and began to tremble all over.

The Hengling Domain Lord asked in a cold voice, "Beside these people, is there anyone else, like those two thousand elite soldiers from the base camp?"

"They've co too. Grand Commander Lan himself has arrived to lead them, with an extrely formidable presence. By now, I expect they've already surrounded the Hundred Herbs Realm mansion. What should we do now, Lord? Should we let them in?" the guard asked.

Xiao Jingyuan stood there utterly stunned, looking completely at a loss.

The Hengling Domain Lord slowly rose to his feet and gritted his teeth, "It looks like they really an serious business this ti, don't they?"

The Lord of Nan Dong couldn't help asking, "So what do we do now? Does Dugu Ming really dare to take action against us?"

After pondering for a while, Xiao Jingyuan bit his teeth and said, "It's hard to tell. Dugu Ming probably doesn't have the guts, but that crippled Northern King Ye Feng is another matter entirely. What's even more troubling is that the Four Great Guardian Realm Kings have unexpectedly joined as well; this is totally unforeseen!"

"Let's go out and assess the situation!" The three Domain Lords then strode out of the banquet hall, into the courtyard outside.

It was dark night, yet the whole mansion of the Hundred Herbs Realm was brightly lit. More than two hundred guards had moved quickly into action, securing the main entrance.

At that mont, there was a loud bang at the main gate; the thick redwood doors were broken by a blunt object, and a large crowd surged in like a tide. Imdiately following, the five Great Commanders and Four Great Protectors entered swiftly, with the Southern King among them.

Ye Feng finally entered, his wheelchair pushed by Hong Qingyan, moving slowly into the mansion, flanked by Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, with Seventeen having been dispatched to Sky Sand City to gather intelligence and now absent from his side.

The eyes of the Lord of the Hundred Herbs Realm, Xiao Jingyuan, sharpened, and he coldly said, "I was unaware of the Southern King's distinguished arrival, and we failed to welco you from afar. Please forgive us. However, Southern King, having traveled a long way to our Hundred Herbs Realm, may I inquire the purpose of your visit?"

"The purpose of our visit?" Southern King Dugu Ming snorted softly and gave a slight nod to Lan Youzhong at his side.

Lan Youzhong stepped forward three paces, speaking loudly, "Lords of the Hundred Herbs, Nan Dong, and Hengling Domains, you have brazenly torn up the Summoning Orders, defied the King's Order, and have not gone to the base camp for a council on matters of state. You disrespect the royal authority, and what's more, you've attempted to murder the Southern King.

The evidence is conclusive, and by law, the sentence is death!"

"All guards of the Hundred Herbs Realm, heed my words. Considering your ignorance of the situation, retreat at once, and I, as Commander, might spare your lives. However, those who dare to resist will be executed without rcy!"

The word "execute" resounded deafeningly, echoing through the night sky above the Hundred Herbs Realm, leaving the more than two hundred guards of the estate in utter panic, exchanging apprehensive glances.

Southern King Dugu Ming ordered sternly, "Drop your weapons and step back imdiately. Do you also dare to harbor thoughts of assassinating your king?"

Upon hearing these words from the Southern King, the more than two hundred guards no longer dared to advance, and while they did not quite lay down their weapons, they instinctively retreated.

Seeing this, the Lord of the Hundred Herbs Realm suddenly burst into loud laughter, "What an order from the King! I tell you, Dugu Ming, you have already lost all your martial arts prowess and do not deserve to be the Southern King. And yet you still have the audacity to issue commands here. Don't you feel ashad?"

The gaze of Southern King Dugu Ming hardened as he said word by word, "Xiao Jingyuan, do you think I do not dare to kill you?"

"Of course, you don't dare to kill , let alone all three of us!" Xiao Jingyuan laughed coldly. "Though we don't claim to have made great contributions, we have guarded the Southern Border Gate over the years, deterring other nations from coveting it.

If you were to kill us three, the Southern Border Gate would surely beco unstable, and then I'd like to see how secure you would feel in your throne as Southern King!"

The Hengling Domain Lord also sneered, "You see, Dugu Ming, we call you 'Southern King' out of habit, but you seem to really think of yourself as a monarch. Even if you take us down today, we three will not be convinced because you are rely borrowing outside power!"

With that, the Hengling Domain Lord glared viciously at Ye Feng in the wheelchair, his eyes full of malice. This entire situation would not have arisen had it not been for Ye Feng's sudden arrival; it wouldn't have disrupted the balance in the Southern Border, and they wouldn't be in such a passive position now.

Throughout the whole period, Ye Feng remained seated in the wheelchair, silent. He didn't even bother looking at the three wretches because, in his view, they were almost as good as dead.

Dugu Ming suddenly threw back his head and laughed heartily, then after a long while, he bellowed in a deep voice, "It seems you truly believe that I, the king, am completely crippled, do you not? Very well, today I shall show you the extent of my power, so that you may be thoroughly convinced!"

At this point, Dugu Ming abruptly gestured and commanded, "Bring my sword!"

As soon as his words fell, a personal guard presented the Azure Glaze Sword to him.

"This was the sword the Old Southern King carried with him at all tis. When he was still alive, you three had followed him through campaigns in both south and north. Today, I, the king, will use this sword to behead you dogs!"

Dugu Ming said this and then suddenly drew his sword.

Clang!

A streak of azure rainbow light shone through the night as Dugu Ming soared forward, seemingly fusing himself with the Glazed Sword in his hand to beco one entity.

In an instant, a fierce gale howled through the courtyard, the product of sword qi!

Only a Huajin Master, by channeling the Qi Force within him to a transcendent state, could enable his treasured sword to burst forth with sword qi.

"Man and Sword as One, such formidable sword qi, how is this possible!" The most shocked among those present was Xiao Jingyuan.

After all, no one knew Dugu Ming's physical condition better than he did. Over the years, he had been administering dicine to Dugu Ming from Wu Zhong, the Old Divine Doctor of Hundred Herbs Garden, to gradually weaken his body and cripple his martial arts.

But now...

Xiao Jingyuan was utterly panicked.

The four Great Protector Dharma Kings also showed looks of horror on their faces. As grandmasters themselves, they could clearly perceive the magnitude of power Dugu Ming now possessed.

"At the peak of Huajin Master, and just a hair's breadth from stepping half a foot into the Martial King Realm, this is simply impossible!" The Great Protector exclaid in disbelief, subconsciously glancing towards the young man sitting in the wheelchair.

When he saw the indifference and even a hint of mockery on Ye Feng's face, the Great Protector realized everything in an instant.

Enjoy new chapters from empire

It turned out that over the past half-month, Ye Feng had been healing the Southern King, not only curing his injuries but also restoring his power. In just fifteen days, not only had Dugu Ming's strength recovered, but it had beco much stronger than before.

"This Northern King Ye Feng is becoming more and more inscrutable. What secrets does he still hide within him?" The Great Protector sighed inwardly, feeling an urge to follow him at the core of his being.

anwhile, Dugu Ming, with one sweep of his sword, unleashed sweeping sword qi that instantly sealed off all of Xiao Jingyuan's paths of retreat.

Suddenly, a splurt was heard, and a spurt of fresh blood sprayed out as Xiao Jingyuan's neck was sliced through.

With a flick of his wrist, the Glazed Sword erupted once again with a dazzling light, its sword blooms cascading towards the Lords of Nan Dong Territory and Hengling Domain nearby.

Both Domain Lords were indeed Huajin Grandmasters, but they didn't even have the chance to parry, as their heads fell to the ground in an instant.

In that mont, Dugu Ming stood proudly, lifting the Glazed Sword in his hand and feeling as if he had grown much taller.

"The Lords of the Hundred Herbs Realm, Nan Dong Territory, and Hengling Domain have been executed. Those who remain, lay down your weapons and submit, and I shall not pursue your offenses. Otherwise, you will be killed without rcy!" Southern King Dugu Ming bellowed in a high-pitched voice.

Those over two hundred guards dared not hesitate any longer, they dropped their weapons on the spot and knelt, shouting, "Long live the Southern King! We are willing to submit and follow!"

"Long live the Southern King!" At that mont, even the two thousand or so accompanying soldiers knelt all at once.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Ming finally allowed himself a slight smile, at this mont, he truly resembled a sovereign of his era.

Ye Feng, witnessing this, couldn't help but smile. It seed that his efforts had not been in vain.
