Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 867 - 668: Overwhelming Might

"I am the heavens!"

The voice of the Battle King reverberated in the void, causing the vast expanse of Earth to tremble repeatedly, instilling fear in countless people. The Dragon Chariot emitted a domineering and inscrutable voice; he declared himself as the heavens, how could this not incite panic?

No one knew the true extent of the heavens' power, but everyone was aware that it was an untouchable presence. Yet today, someone boldly proclaimed that he was the heavens.

Upon hearing this, Di Cang's complexion turned extremely pale. Punishment by the Heavenly Dao, but would it actually be effective?

Immediately following, a voice continued from within the Dragon Chariot, "You ignorant ants, how dare you rebel? Today, this king will destroy you as punishment. From now on, this insignificant ant world will cease to exist!"

The voice of the Battle King resounded powerfully, the endless immortal might stretched across the vast void. Countless people's faces revealed expressions of despair, and they did not doubt the strength of the person within the Dragon Chariot.

"He wants to destroy the entire Earth?" In the direction of Emperor Star Academy, the crowd was filled with panic, "Combining the global population with the Ancient Martial Realm is at least over ten billion, countless living creatures. Are human lives so worthless, so insignificant, in the eyes of these people?"

"Your Excellency!" Di Cang shouted loudly, "Your actions will surely incur heavenly retribution!"

"How dare you speak to the Battle King like that, punishment!" A powerful individual beside the Dragon Chariot shouted furiously. The Battle King was a formidable existence within the Immortal King Realm, even in the Immortal Realm; how could he tolerate defiance from mere mortal ants?

Buzz~

The wind howled fiercely, and a terrifying immortal might descended directly onto Di Cang, causing him to let out a muffled groan and his face to turn pale. Nevertheless, he remained unyielding and stood proudly.

At that moment, a voice echoed from within the Dragon Chariot, "Stop!"

"Yes, Battle King!" The commander withdrew his aura and stood aside, while the voice continued to speak from within the Dragon Chariot, "Your willpower isn't bad; in this mortal world, having your level of cultivation is indeed rare. However, with your power, there is no way you could have killed my son, Zai Qiu, let alone slay an immortal!"

What, his son Zai Qiu?

It turned out the person sitting inside the Dragon Chariot was the father of the Heaven Slayer Academy's dean. No wonder he was so furious; now it became apparent that his father had come to avenge his son. Moreover, his immortal might was not comparable to those previous immortals.

At this moment, the voice continued from within the Dragon Chariot, "Not destroying Earth is also possible, but you must reveal who killed my son, or else this Earth will be obliterated, and you will all perish here because of you!"

As the voice fell, a middle-aged figure walked out of the Dragon Chariot, dressed in royal robes, radiating an aura of supreme authority from head to toe, giving everyone the impression that this was his innate demeanor.

Then, with his deep gaze, he stared at Di Cang and said, "My patience is limited; you have three breaths' time!"

Three breaths?

Upon hearing this, many academy disciples' gazes fell on Di Cang, as if all the living creatures of Earth were now tied to him. If he did not speak, Earth would be destroyed, and all living creatures would suffer catastrophe.

"One breath!" The Battle King spoke calmly, his voice akin to a death decree, instilling despair in countless hearts. Then, his gaze turned to Di Cang, seeing him remain silent, he said no more.

He continued, "Two breaths!"

Two breaths have passed?

"It was I who killed him!" At this moment, Di Cang shouted, "If you want to kill, then kill me! It has nothing to do with Earth's living beings!"

"You certainly have backbone!" The Battle King did not seem angered, he spoke, "Is it necessary to sacrifice yourself for that person? I have said, you do not qualify to have killed my son!"

"There is but one breath left, if you do not speak, you will regret it forever!" The Battle King's voice persisted.

"I will speak!" However, at that moment, a voice echoed, swish swish swish~ many academy disciples turned, their gaze falling on the person who spoke, someone said, "It's Lu Hantian!"

"Is he going to reveal Xiao Tianyu?"

"Perhaps this is a public disclosure for personal vengeance!"

"That's reasonable; after all, Lu Hantian is the closed-door disciple of the second elder, and now that the second elder has betrayed the academy and been punished by the Punishment Hall, he probably can't swallow this grievance!"

"From my point of view, it's fear of death!"

"..."

Many academy disciples began discussing; none of them foresaw Lu Hantian stepping out to accuse Xiao Tianyu. To say nothing, Emperor Star Academy had not been unkind to Lu Hantian; otherwise, he wouldn't have so rapidly reached the peak of the Earth level realm.

Indeed, this person was Lu Hantian. A few days ago, during the Emperor Star Academy's coronation ceremony, he challenged Ye Qingcheng over her appointment as the Saintess of the academy but was crushed by Ye Qingcheng, leaving his morale low for days.

Moreover, when he dared challenge Ye Qingcheng, he was supported by the second elder.

"You know?" The Battle King slightly adjusted his brows.

"Indeed!" Lu Hantian nodded.

"Lu Hantian, you're acting recklessly?" The Punishment Hall elder shouted furiously, "Do you wish to taste the academy's punishment?"

"Punishment?" Upon hearing this, Lu Hantian sneered coldly, yet his eyes showed no trace of fear. He said, "With the whole Earth at risk, do you think there's still a chance to punish me? What an absurdity!"

"Moreover, I am acting for the sake of all Earth's living creatures. Should billions of lives be perished for just him, Xiao Tianyu?" Lu Hantian's voice persisted, as if his words held reason.

Then, he turned his gaze to the void and spoke, "Respected immortals, the one who killed Dean Zai Qiu is Emperor Star Academy's chairman, Xiao Tianyu, and I have long decided, I am no longer part of Emperor Star Academy. Xiao Tianyu bears irreconcilable hatred with me for killing my master, may the immortals please take out and execute Xiao Tianyu!"

"You dare!" Di Cang took a step forward, releasing a fierce aura, whereas a commander beside the Battle King coldly snorted, "This is not for you to intervene, courting death!"

Boom~

As his voice fell, a wave of immortal power directly thrust Di Cang out, causing him to spew blood and his expression to become most dire.

Meanwhile, Lu Hantian's voice continued, recounting the events that had transpired, yet this telling took considerable time.

…

An isolated courtyard.

"Don't hold me back, those so-called immortals aren't a match for me. Let go... let go, Ziyan, are you joining in on this nonsense too?" Xiao Tianyu showed a helpless expression. The academy faced a grave enemy, yet he was being held back by many goddesses within the courtyard, not allowed to go out, leaving him completely bewildered.

"Boss, are you sure you can stand against those immortals? I just heard there's someone called the Battle King, who should be terrifyingly powerful, probably at least at the Martial King level!" Guan Zhongyuan was also holding onto Xiao Tianyu's leg, not allowing him to leave.

"You know what a Martial King is!" Xiao Tianyu asked.

"I don't know!" Guan Zhongyuan shook his head, "But that's what they say in TV shows, and in TV shows, a Martial King can wipe out everything with a raise of hand!"

"I am a Martial God, get out of my way!" Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly.
