Chapter 146 - 146: 146: Dominant Dynasty
Could Qin Nianxue be a prophet of doom?
What she said always came around to happen. Jiang Xiaobai unconsciously looked at Qin Nianxue and saw a bewildered expression on her face. Clearly, she too hadn’t expected her words to predict the situation so accurately.
At this moment, the silver-armored man in mid-air glanced coldly at the crowd before fixing his gaze on Jiang Xiaobai.
“Did you do it?” the silver-armored man asked coldly.
In the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, the growth of every city lord’s mansion was recorded. The dynasty held a soul tablet for everyone. When someone died, their soul tablet would shatter.
The person in charge of guarding the soul tablets would immediately notice, after which the Thousand Yuan Dynasty would begin an investigation.
The first place the silver-armored man went to was the city lord’s mansion, where he found the dead bodies of the Feng Family Father and Son, and several experts from the mansion. He began tracking the lingering aura around the city.
Then, he came to the battlefield and immediately discovered Jiang Xiaobai because of the residual energy present at the time.
“You dare to kill my city lord in the Thousand Yuan Dynasty! You deserve to die!”
The silver-armored man stared at Jiang Xiaobai, with an endless killing intent radiating from him.
In the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, killing a city lord was seen as an attack against the Dynasty itself, with dire consequences.
Even the paramount forces such as the Sword Sea Sect would not casually kill these city lords. This was a rule of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty that had been established over many years, forged with blood and iron!
The silver-armored man had found the culprit now and was naturally ready to take action. However, he wouldn’t kill Jiang Xiaobai on the spot but capture him alive and bring him back to the Thousand Yuan Dynasty for a public execution!
This was a warning to all, manifesting what would happen to anyone who dared to offend the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.
Seeing the silver-armored man ready to act, Jiang Xiaobai immediately shouted.
“Wait! Did you even ask why I resorted to killing?”
The silver-armored man sneered, “Regardless of the reason, laying hands on my city lord in the Thousand Yuan Dynasty is a capital offense!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai was livid.
“So this is how the Thousand Yuan Dynasty operates? Your city lords can bully others as they please but others are not allowed to resist?” Jiang Xiaobai roared.
He was truly furious, “Damn your dynasty! What a bullshit rule! So your city lords can kill me as they wish, and I’m not allowed to fight back?”
“If the situation is as you say, you can petition the Dynasty for an investigation.”
The silver-armored man coldly stated, “The city lords’ actions are for the Dynasty to handle, not you!”
“Bullshit!”
Jiang Xiaobai was blunt, “I thought the Thousand Yuan Dynasty was alright, but it’s clear to me now. I wouldn’t be surprised if Feng Liangfei’s actions were backed by your Dynasty.”
As soon as he said this, everyone who had gathered due to the commotion was stunned.
What did they just hear?
There was someone openly defying and even insulting the Thousand Yuan Dynasty in public?
For a moment, the crowd looked at Jiang Xiaobai as though they’d seen a ghost.
The silver-armored man was also enraged, his eyes wide open in fury as he glared at Jiang Xiaobai, “Boy, you’re asking for death!”
“Ha. Asking for death?”
Jiang Xiaobai scoffed, “You were already planning to capture me and kill me, and now I’m not even allowed to resist? The Thousand Yuan Dynasty really does have a big attitude.”
“You audacious beast, spouting such wild words, showing contempt for the
Dynasty. You won’t escape the death sentence!”
The silver-armored man roared with rage, unable to hold back his anger, and raised his hand to slap Jiang Xiaobai.
This slap contained terrifying power. After just one glimpse, Jiang Xiaobai realized that the man’s strength had reached the peak level of Transcendence!
In the face of such a formidable enemy, Jiang Xiaobai braced himself and
summoned all his strength.
The heavenly spiritual treasure sword was unsheathed!
The third level of the Nine Revolutions Skill activated!
The most formidable strike of the Nine Heavens Starlight Sword Technique!
In a split second, the sword in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand radiated dazzling light. He lifted the sword and directly thrust it toward the silver-armored man’s incoming palm.
“Die!” Jiang Xiaobai’s entire being turned into a bullet fired in full force, shooting up from the ground into the sky.
He was transformed into a beam of sword light. This was his most powerful strike!
Bang!
The two powerful attacks collided in mid-air. In an instant, visible shockwaves from the attack rippled out into the open air, the mere sight of which was enough to give anyone a sense of how terrifying their battle was.
With a ground-shaking roar, Jiang Xiaobai’s body plummeted down from the sky like a cannonball, creating a massive crater in the ground on impact.
The ground cracked, and fissures spread in all directions. The sight only added to the shock in everyone’s hearts.
Father and daughter Qin Zheng and Qin Nianxue nervously watched the giant crater, worrying for Jiang Xiaobai.
They were originally prepared to speak up for Jiang Xiaobai, but seeing the silver-armored man’s aggressive aura, they understood that if they dared to speak up at this moment, their Qin family would also become implicated in the matter.
High in the sky, the silver-armored man watched the huge crater on the ground with a derisive look, but his heart was filled with shock.
On his right hand, which he had tucked behind his back, was a hideous sword wound. If he hadn’t forcefully used spiritual energy to seal the wound, blood would have been splattering everywhere. This was the result of Jiang Xiaobai’s attack.
And Jiang Xiaobai was only at the late Yuan Infant stage!
His own strength was at the Transcendence stage. The difference in their realms was not something that could be overcome by simple reliance on techniques and treasures.
The path to immortality, even a small disparity in strength, could be fatal!
The silver-armored man suddenly realized that Jiang Xiaobai was extraordinarily gifted. If given more time to grow, he might even become a threat to himself.
“This boy must not be allowed to live!”
With a cold sneer in his heart, the silver-armored man looked at the big crater on the ground.
By this time, the dust had already settled, and the crowd saw a figure standing in the pit. It was Jiang Xiaobai, who had been slapped down.
He was surprisingly still alive!
Immediately, a look of disbelief appeared on the face of the silver-armored man. He gawked at Jiang Xiaobai.
Although Jiang Xiaobai looked disheveled at the moment, his condition was just that and nothing more. He didn’t seem to have sustained any serious injuries, and no one could even see any wounds on him!
Even Jiang Xiaobai himself was slightly surprised. He had originally thought that even if he didn’t die, he would be seriously injured. Who would’ve thought that such a level of attack had minimal effect on him?
At most, he felt a bit of pain in his chest, but that was it.
It was only then that Jiang Xiaobai realized it was due to the Nine Revolutions Skill and his achievements in reaching the pinnacle in each stage that he was this resilient.
Until now, Jiang Xiaobai hadn’t had a profound understanding of his own combat and defensive capabilities. Now he knew that he wasn’t as weak as he’d thought.
He’d underestimated himself!
Once he realized he was capable of battling his opponent, Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes shown with an unusual glint.
“Old dog, prepare to die!”
