Peerless Dragon Sovereign

Chapter 681: Forced to Become the Royal Family’s Blade

Although his identity was exposed by Chu Nan, Ji Shenhao, being of royal descent, quickly calmed down and said with a tranquil demeanor, "Why deceive you? Of course, because you are fools."

"Our Royal Family has long known that there are still rats like you hiding in the Celestial Crossing Realm, so I was sent to lure you out, ready to wipe you out in one fell swoop."

With these words, everyone immediately understood that it was all a plot by the Royal Family!

Zhi Polang, with a somber face, questioned, "When did you infiltrate the Slaughter Emperor Sect? After all, you always seemed eager to rid the Royal Family and Strong Race, and the people you killed weren’t fake."

This statement caused everyone to become suspicious.

Zhi Polang wasn’t wrong. The first Slaying Emperor had killed tens of thousands from the Royal Family and Strong Race, including dozens of Ninefold Sky Cultivators.

If he was truly aiming to eliminate the remnants of the restoration, then why strike so brutally against his own forces?

Could it be that the original first Slaying Emperor was real but was secretly murdered by Ji Shenhao, unknowingly switching identities?

If so, that would make everyone feel a little better, as if the Slaughter Emperor Sect had been established by Ji Shenhao from the beginning, they’d lose face utterly.

Ji Shenhao faced the inquiry and spoke candidly, sneering, "Those Royal Family and Strong Race members I killed were real, but all those who died were rebels hoping to overthrow us brothers."

"Killing my enemies, naturally, I’d show no mercy."

Ji Shenhao sneered, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at the Martial Artists of the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

"Initially, my royal brother and I just wanted to capture you all in one swoop, but as time passed, my royal brother felt you were a very useful tool."

"Hehehe~"

"Using the guise of the Slaying Emperors to eliminate enemies is much easier than doing it ourselves."

"You fools, being used by our Royal Family and not even knowing it, how utterly foolish!"

Ji Shenhao’s words left the Slaying Emperors astonished, their bodies trembling with rage. If not for Ji Shenhao’s formidable Ninefold Sky Cultivation, they would have rushed forward to tear him to pieces.

If looks could kill, Ji Shenhao would have been slain hundreds or thousands of times by the Slaying Emperors’ glare.

"Ji Shenhao, you’ve gone too far!"

"Not only did you destroy my country, but you also made a fool of us; even a thousand cuts wouldn’t ease our hatred!"

"Kill him! Kill him! Let’s kill this bastard together!"

...

Everyone spoke angrily, while Ji Shenhao merely replied coldly, "In the whole world, everything belongs to the king. Your defeat at the hands of my Qin Kingdom should make you willingly submit, not scheme rebellion."

"You defeated slaves of a lost nation, my deceiving you is your fortune!"

"If my royal brother hadn’t wanted to use you to your fullest, you wouldn’t even be alive now. With my temperament, I’d have ground your bones to dust long ago."

Ji Shenhao didn’t hide his disdain for the Slaughter Emperors, as the Qin Royal Family was the victor of past wars and naturally looked down on these weak ants.

He disguised himself as the first Slaying Emperor, deceiving these people for a thousand years.

The Slaughter Emperor Sect appeared to be an enemy of the Qin Kingdom, but with its leader from the Royal Family, it was essentially the Royal Family’s backyard.

What seemed like amassing strength to resist the Qin Kingdom over a millennium was in reality shedding blood for the Royal Family.

Facing such a cruel reality, how could these Slaying Emperors accept it?

Every one of them wished to grind Ji Shenhao’s bones to dust, and some were so furious they spat blood, their cultivation unstable.

Chu Nan was not surprised by this; if it had been him deceived in this way, he too might find it hard to accept for a time.

Whew~

With a long breath, Chu Nan’s strength had almost fully recovered, so he said to Ji Shenhao, "Ji Shenhao, enough has been said, our battle should conclude now."

At this moment, three Heaven-grade Spirit Martial encircled Ji Shenhao, rendering him unable to move.

Ji Shenhao’s first escape attempt had failed; logically, he should have been in panic.

Yet, with his identity revealed, Ji Shenhao leisurely remarked, "Since my identity is exposed, there’s no need to hide my strength anymore."

"Humph humph humph~ Today, I’ll let you witness the power of the Qin Royal Family’s might!"

With these words, a massive dragon roar resounded from within Ji Shenhao, stunning everyone.

This dragon roar soared into the heavens, forming a giant dragon qi vortex in the sky.

Soon after, nine cloud seas appeared behind Ji Shenhao, four were gold attribute cloud seas, while the remaining five, though also golden, coiled like five true dragons.

These true dragons were lifelike, and their scarlet eyes were frightening to behold.

Clearly, Ji Shenhao’s nine cloud seas appeared to be entirely gold attribute, but with the shattering of his imperial-grade Spirit Martial mask, all his disguises were exposed.

This naturally revealed the five Dragon Qi Cloud Seas Ji Shenhao had cultivated.

"Dragon Qi Cloud Sea, a necessary cloud sea for the Qin Royal Family, and he has five Dragon Qi Cloud Seas, it’s terrifying."

"This cloud sea formed by Dragon Qi is extremely special, far surpassing other types of cloud seas!"

"With five Dragon Qi Cloud Seas, how powerful can Ji Shenhao truly be?"

The Slaying Emperors were bustling with comments, transitioning from their initial anger to fear.

Ji Shenhao’s unleashed power was terrifying beyond their expectations.

Even Lu Daochang showed a hint of gravity, though he was of the peak Ninefold Sky realm, in Ji Shenhao’s current state, he felt a tinge of threat.

Though just a tinge, it was nonetheless terrifying.

Chu Nan watched this unfold, clicking his tongue secretly. Ji Shenhao being Ji Shenfa’s brother shared an immense amount of Dragon Qi was only natural.

The true combat power made Chu Nan more cautious in his approach.

With Ji Shenhao displaying his full strength, he touched the edge of the Ninefold Sky pinnacle.

Truly worthy of unifying the Celestial Crossing Realm, pressing the Strong Race and numerous forces so heavily they could hardly breathe, the Royal Family’s true strength was terrifying saying the least.

Even Chu Nan, empowered by the True Martial Holy Hall, had to concede that Ji Shenhao’s current unleashed strength struck deep fear into him.

"Chu Nan, you can’t perfectly control these three Heaven-grade Spirit Martials, they can’t trap me."

Unleashing his full strength, Ji Shenhao roared, his Dragon Qi surged like roaring waves, slamming all around.

The three Heaven-grade Spirit Martials emitted continuous roars, the originally airtight, indestructible confinement appearing at this moment to show signs of collapse.

This scene shocked Chu Nan instantly, Ji Shenhao’s true unleashed power couldn’t be suppressed even by the Heaven-grade Spirit Martials!
