Chapter 374: Chapter 372: Commander of the City Defense Camp in the Capital

Xu Yang was taken aback, then suddenly laughed in astonishment: "Didn’t expect someone to have such an odd request."

"You’re nothing but a paper tiger, how about that?"

The burly man’s sinister grin froze instantly!

At that moment, Dong Yue trembled and said, "Mr. Xu, be careful, they’re the three Heart Demon brothers, practicing a special cultivation technique. Their minds are linked and they can form a battle formation in combat, their strength is terrifying!"

"Oh, little girl actually knows about us three brothers!"

Chu Xiong raised his eyebrows slightly, pride showing on his face, but his smile grew even colder: "Too bad, someone doesn’t want you to live any longer!"

Dong Yue instinctively shrank back.

Xu Yang said coldly, "You’ve frightened her."

"Looking for death!"

The burly man who’d been insulted earlier had long lost patience. At those words, he let out a brutal roar and lunged ferociously!

Chu Xiong and the other simply stood by!

In their eyes, dealing with a Middle Stage of Myriad Phenomena, one was enough!

Boom!

The middle-aged man struck down with his palm, force like bamboo through silk, shaking the massive mountain so hard it trembled, triggering boulders rolling in all directions!

"Die!"

"Returning it to you!"

Xu Yang smiled faintly, making no gesture at all.

Boom!

The middle-aged man, as if struck by lightning, screamed miserably mid-air, blood flowing from his five orifices as he crashed down helplessly.

"Third Brother."

Chu Xiong’s face changed drastically, darting forward to catch the falling man.

At a glance, Third Brother’s eyeballs bulged outward, utterly lifeless.

In his last moment, endless agony and terror lingered in those two staring eyes!

"How is this possible?"

Chu Xiong raised his head with difficulty, feeling a chill down to his bones as he looked at Xu Yang!

No movement, just pure Spiritual Power, wiping out a Myriad Manifestations Perfection on the spot!

Such means, even he couldn’t achieve that!

"Together!"

Chu Xiong roared furiously, eyes flushed red!

Boom!

The two brothers charged at Xu Yang simultaneously.

Each gripped a spirit blade dripping with bloody evil.

Clang!

The blades vibrated, clashing through the air, one left and one right, tearing through the heavens and earth, surging forth in a flood of slaughter like raging tides, fiercely hacking down!

Under such terrifying might, Dong Yue was already trembling uncontrollably; these were the most frightening powerful foes she’d ever encountered, instinctively clinging tightly to Xu Yang, unwilling to let go!

Xu Yang’s expression didn’t change, the corner of his lips curling up, eyes flashing with mockery.

Swish!

He flicked his sleeve with a flourish.

In the void, nine illusory chains flashed past in an instant!

Bang!

The two spirit blades seemed to hit an invisible wall of bronze and iron, vibrating crazily and sending sparks flying!

Next, they were suddenly bound in mid-air!

"Imprisoned?"

"Break it for me!"

Chu Xiong stared in shock, hoarse and raging as he tried his utmost to explode forth.

Clang!

Bang!

Miserable screams echoes out.

The spirit blades slipped out of their hands and the two fell clumsily to the ground.

"You, who the hell are you?" Chu Xiong struggled to his feet, only infinite terror in his eyes.

"You’re not qualified to know yet!"

"Second Brother, run!"

Chu Xiong suddenly howled, with resolute madness in his eyes, charging recklessly at Xu Yang.

"Big Brother..." Second Brother’s eyes shed blood tears, his voice full of sorrow as he cried out and turned to flee!

Thud!

Chu Xiong’s body twisted mid-stride, his eyes dull, and he crashed straight down!

As for the fleeing Second Brother, he’d barely run a few steps before he was caught in a quagmire.

All around, invisible waves of terrifying impact rushed at him fiercely.

"No!!!"

Spurt, spurt, spurt!!

His skin cracked, flesh mangled, with blood arrows shooting out everywhere, as if pierced by countless arrows!

Dong Yue stared blankly at the scene, completely dazed!

Mr. Xu is just too powerful.

"Well then, how long do you intend to keep hiding?"

Xu Yang suddenly turned around, looking toward a certain place on the mountainside.

Three breaths of dead silence.

Suddenly.

Swish!

From the dense forest of the mountain, a vague silhouette bolted away crazily in another direction.

It was Dong Kui, the Dong Clan’s Second Elder.

At this moment, his mind was a blank—there was only one thought: run!

He could never have dreamed, after recruiting the three Heart Demon brothers, that this young man would brutally kill them all like it was nothing!

It was utter crushing dominance!

This had him completely broken!

Is this even human?

Swish!

Two figures dropped down from the sky!

Dong Kui’s whole body quivered, his eyelids twitching madly.

Staring at the calm-faced young man before him, he couldn’t help swallowing hard, his fear spilling over inside.

"Sir, this is a private matter of the Dong Clan!"

Dong Kui gritted his teeth: "Our Dong Clan main lineage is a capital aristocratic family, with a True Lord and an imperial concubine in residence!"

"Threatening me?"

"What does your Dong Clan main family have to do with you all?"

Xu Yang said indifferently, "Besides, what’s so special about having a True Lord or imperial concubine?"

Dong Kui was dumbfounded!

He doesn’t even care about True Lords and imperial concubines?

How is this possible?

He couldn’t accept it.

Even other noble families with True Lords wouldn’t dare act so brazen!

"You, who the hell are you?"

Dong Kui’s lips trembled incessantly, inwardly roaring: how did this little girl end up with such an untraceable freak protector?

"Hm?" Xu Yang frowned slightly, peering in suspicion at the other side of the mountain.

Boom!

The mountains suddenly shook.

As if gigantic war chariots thundered in!

Dong Kui instinctively turned his head.

Swish, swish, swish!!

A group of armored guards crested the heights, neatly arrayed in a line, an aura of chill and killing intent washing down like a tidal wave.

Every single guard had Yang Realm cultivation!

But that momentum—so strong that even average Myriad Phenomena Martial Artists would feel their hearts race.

"That’s... the Capital City Defense Camp!" Dong Kui muttered, sensing disaster.

Though this place was close to the capital, the Defense Camp almost never left so easily!

A figure stepped forth at the front of the guards, clad in pale golden general’s armor, with cultivation at Myriad Manifestations Perfection!

"The Defense Camp Commander!"

Dong Kui sucked in a cold breath.

"Defense Camp?"

Xu Yang raised a brow slightly, uncertainty on his face.

Swish!

The Defense Camp Commander flashed downward, casting a glance at Dong Kui with a trace of pity in his eyes!

Dong Kui’s body shook, trembling as he shouted anxiously: "I am Dong Kui, greetings to the Commander!"

"Dong Kui? Dong Clan?"

Lin Mo was slightly startled.

Dong Kui forced a smile: "I’m from the Changling branch of the Dong Clan!"

"Commander, that little girl is a member of my Dong Clan, abducted by this mysterious villain; this brat is incredibly strong, frighteningly so, thank heavens you’ve arrived."

"You’re lying!"

Dong Yue shouted in anger: "It was you who tried to kill me!"

"Shut up, what do you know?" Dong Kui barked in fury.

Lin Mo’s eyes twitched with amusement, then without even sparing Dong Kui another look, walked straight towards Xu Yang.

Dong Kui’s face froze; wanting to flee but scared to move, all he could do was pray Lin Mo wouldn’t be fooled, and would act to seize Xu Yang.

As long as Dong Yue hadn’t made it to the main house in the capital, there was still room to maneuver!

"You recognize me?"

Xu Yang stared at Lin Mo with a cool gaze.

For the other to suddenly appear here, something about it made no sense!

Unless—he knew his identity!

Lin Mo stopped three zhang away from Xu Yang, face suddenly solemn, bowed deeply: "Lin Mo, Commander of the City Defense Camp, pays respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Dong Kui’s eyes widened as Lin Mo bowed, as if he’d seen a ghost!

And as Lin Mo spoke, his mind exploded—his scalp practically splitting!

"C-c-c-Crown Prince?"
