"My lord! Many soldiers from the Southern Border Army have arrived outside the residence!" Read exclusive chapters at empire
"Judging by the number, I'm afraid there are two to three thousand of them!"
The man's voice trembled as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, the three from dicine King all showed a change in expression.
Anxiety and panic was evident on all three faces.
With two to three thousand soldiers of the Southern Border Army coming to the dicine King's residence, they couldn't possibly be here for a visit, could they?
"Who is leading them?"
The dicine King stared at his subordinate and asked.
The subordinate dared not hesitate and imdiately responded, "I saw the three Elders of the Fields and the four Commanders, and also the Southern Border King..."
"And there's a young man, who seems to be treated with great respect by the Southern Border King and the others..."
At that ssage, the three from dicine King felt as if they had been struck by lightning!
With the three Elders of the Fields and the four Commanders visiting in person, led by the Southern Border King himself.
The most terrifying thing was, the Northern Liao King, the one capable of slaying Warlord strongn, had also co in person!
How could the trio from dicine King not be afraid with such a line-up?
It wasn't just the Northern Liao King, capable of slaying Warlord strongn, or the three Elders of the Fields and the four Commanders leading them.
Even the two to three thousand Southern Border Army soldiers alone were enough to kill the three of them right here!
"dicine King! Co out here this instant!"
Just then, the voice of the Southern Border King suddenly ca from outside the residence.
Upon hearing this, the three from dicine King shivered and did not dare to delay, imdiately heading outside.
Running away was pointless now; the two to three thousand Southern Border soldiers were enough to surround the entire residence so tightly that there was no escape for the three of them.
Moreover, with so many strongn coming, how could they possibly escape?
The trio walked out of the residence with tense expressions. When they saw the thick ranks of Southern Border soldiers clad in black armor, fear filled their eyes.
"This king sent orders for you three to co to the Southern Border Army's main camp to report today. Why did none of you show up?"
The Southern Border King stared at the three from dicine King and asked in a deep voice.
The four people from Hidden Qi King standing behind the Southern Border King all looked on as if watching a show.
They also secretly congratulated themselves for aligning with the Southern Border King early on, otherwise, who knows if such a scene might have unfolded outside their own residences one day!
"I... I..."
The voice of dicine King trembled, but he couldn't say a word.
The Southern Border King raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "This king is asking you a question. Why is no one answering?"
"Do you know what the punishnt is for disrespecting the royal decree, according to the Dragon Kingdom's martial laws?"
As his words ended, the three thousand Southern Border soldiers roared in unison: "Execution!"
Their synchronized voices shot straight into the sky, and a terrifying montum burst forth from the Southern Border Army.
That montum enveloped the three from dicine King in an instant, and even though the three of them were mid-stage Great Grandmasters, they had no power to resist in the face of this force.
The three were imdiately crushed to the ground by the Southern Border Army's aura.
"Southern Border King, you can't kill us!"
"If you kill us, the n under our command will never let it go!"
"Do you really want to see the Southern Border plunged into chaos once again?"
Spoke the Jade Mountain King.
The Southern Border King glanced at him and said disdainfully, "In recent years, it was only because this king was incapacitated that you pretenders found an opportunity!"
"Now that this king has awakened, the Southern Border does not yet fall to you pretender kings to claim dominance!"
"This king is indeed eager to see, after slaying you three today, how much of a storm your underlings can still stir up in the Southern Border!"
As his voice trailed off, the Southern Border King swiftly drew the sword at his side, the very treasure sword left by the Old Southern Border King.
Ever since the incident with Miyamoto Musashi, the Southern Border King had never allowed this treasured sword to leave his side.
When he wielded this sword, it was as if he carried the will of the Old Southern Border King, endowing him with boundless confidence, enabling him to reign over the Southern Border!
With the sword exiting its scabbard, the keen Sword Qi burst forth instantaneously from the blade, leaving trails of sword marks on the ground at the Southern Border King's feet.
"No! You can't kill us!"
The dicine King cried out in terror.
However, now that the Southern Border King had regained the peak strength of a Great Grandmaster, his sword strike was naturally not sothing a dicine King of only interdiate Great Grandmaster strength could withstand.
The Sword Qi slashed across the dicine King's neck in an instant, leaving a line of blood, and directly claid the dicine King's life.
The nearby Jade Mountain King and Hidden Qi King, witnessing this, were also scared out of their wits.
With the dicine King dead, it was their turn next!
"Southern Border King! I am willing to serve you!"
The Jade Mountain King hurriedly pleaded for rcy.
The Southern Border King glanced at him and said with a cold laugh, "This king does not need your servitude, only your death!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than another gust of Sword Qi instantly took the life of the Jade Mountain King.
Only the Hidden Qi King was left. At this mont, the arrogance and brashness he had shown earlier, while speaking grandly with the dicine King and Jade Mountain King, had vanished utterly.
Looking at the Southern Border King with a gaze filled with terror, his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Those two are still on the road waiting for you, don't keep them waiting too long."
The Southern Border King spoke indifferently.
Then, with a raise of his hand and a fall of his sword, a blade of Sword Qi rushed toward the Hidden Qi King, piercing straight through his heart.
Thus, the three pretender kings died by the sword of the Southern Border King, the entire affair taking no more than a minute.
"Our king is mighty!"
Sobody shouted first, followed by the roaring voices of all three thousand Southern Border soldiers.
Holding the treasured sword left by the Old Southern Border King, the Southern Border King's eyes once again showed a hint of confidence.
Compared to half a month ago, when his strength had declined and he had suffered greatly, the Southern Border King now truly resembled a sovereign, exuding the aura befitting a king.
anwhile, the three elders from the rural lands all looked at Ye Ling with incredulity.
Ye Ling's strength was formidable, able to slay warriors like Wang Qiang, and his dical skills were so astounding as to be beyond their belief.
Half a month ago, the Southern Border King was gravely injured, with only the strength of an interdiate Great Grandmaster.
Now, after secluded cultivation for half a month under Ye Ling's treatnt, he had astonishingly recovered to the peak of Great Grandmaster strength, and even surpassed his forr self, nearly reaching the level of a half-step Battle King!
Looking at the spirited Southern Border King, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, not trying to steal the lilight at this ti.
After all, the Southern Border was his, and Ye Ling would not do sothing so disrespectful as to upstage the host.
The Southern Border King's performance at this ti was quite impressive, which let Ye Ling know that his efforts over the past half a month were not in vain.
Only now did the Southern Border King truly resemble a sovereign, no longer downtrodden and dominated as before, radiating none of the vigor that a king should possess.
"Back to camp!"
With a bellow, the Southern Border King commanded a return to camp.
The three thousand Southern Border soldiers also marched off majestically, leaving the residence of the dicine King.
Swift as their visit, leaving behind only the corpses of the three dicine Kings.
The servants of the dicine King's residence watched the departing Southern Border army, their faces filled with terror and disbelief.
