244: Quasi-Emperor Law Suppression! Su Chen: Don't rush, let me pull out an even more powerful toy first!

The civil and military officials in the Qiankun Hall, every single one of them, stood frozen in place like wooden stakes struck by lightning.

At this moment, their minds collectively crashed.

Indeed.

He was the Empress's fiancé.

He was the guaranteed Imperial Son-in-law.

This vast Great Xia territory would theoretically belong to his Su Family in the future.

What was he after?

Was he trying to find another way to become the Emperor?

This logic was simple, crude, yet impeccable!

"Pfft—"

Xiao Tiance, kneeling on the ground, saw his face, distorted with resentment, instantly freeze. Then it turned the color of pig liver, and he spat out a mouthful of heart's blood. His eyes rolled back, and he actually fainted from sheer rage.

However, at this moment, no one cared whether this "mad dog" lived or died.

Everyone's gaze, like iron filings drawn to a magnet, shifted simultaneously with awe, curiosity, and a strong fire for gossip toward the peerless figure on the Dragon Throne.

Ji Hongxue's body was as stiff as a perfect jade carving.

On her frost-cold jade face, which hadn't changed for ten thousand years, a breathtaking blush was uncontrollably spreading from her snow-white neck to the tips of her ears.

Those deep and majestic Phoenix eyes were now covered with a layer of shimmering moisture, her heart in utter turmoil.

Su Chen's words were like inescapable curses, echoing wildly in her mind.

This bastard!

This scoundrel!

How dared he! How dared he say such things in front of all the civil and military officials!

This made her more flustered than any sweet words of love in the world.

This left her more helpless than any court coup attempt.

She felt her heart being tightly gripped by a warm and powerful hand, making her almost suffocate, yet she couldn't muster even a single thought of resistance.

The monstrous imperial wrath she had been brewing for so long vanished into thin air at this moment, washed away by those utterly scoundrelly words.

[It's over, it's over. I spoke too fast and blurted out what I was thinking.]

Su Chen looked at Ji Hongxue, who looked like she was about to boil over, and his heart skipped a beat.

[This woman couldn't have been driven stupid by my anger, right? Why is her face as red as a monkey's butt?]

[But... she actually looks quite pretty.]

[Pah, pah, pah! Be serious! There's still an old fogey over there waiting to kill me!]

In this strange and ambiguous atmosphere, Ji Daoyan's withered old face had completely darkened, covered in gloomy clouds.

He felt like his lungs were about to explode with rage!

The grand crime of "treason" he had carefully woven was broken by the other party's light, nonsensical logic?

And on top of that, he openly flirted with the Empress right in front of him?!

If this can be tolerated, what cannot!

"Utter nonsense!"

Ji Daoyan's voice was like a gale blowing out of an ice cave, freezing the relaxed atmosphere once again.

"Su Chen! Stop trying to mislead everyone here!"

He stared intently at Su Chen, killing intent surging like a tide in his cloudy old eyes.

"Even if you have no intention of rebelling, the fact that you committed violence in court and severely injured the Marquis of Champion is indisputable!"

"As a Divine Master, you do not know how to win people over with virtue, but instead bully the weak with your strength and use vicious methods. This is a lack of character befitting your position!"

"Today, I shall clean house on behalf of Your Majesty and my Great Xia Divine Dynasty!"

"I will cripple your cultivation and throw you into the Heavenly Prison to await sentencing!"

Before he had even finished speaking.

"Boom!"

Ji Daoyan didn't bother wasting another word; the terrifying Law of a Fifth-Layer Quasi-Emperor exploded!

He suddenly raised his withered palm and made a pressing motion toward Su Chen across the distant space!

There were no world-shaking phenomena or earth-shattering radiance.

But with this press.

The space within a hundred yards around Su Chen instantly solidified and then collapsed inward!

Time and light were both forcibly distorted and stripped away by a supreme power, forming an invisible and absolutely isolated Law cage.

He was being rejected by the entire world.

Quasi-Emperor Cultivation Technique—World Within the Palm!

This single palm strike was enough to completely erase a Great Saint along with all traces of their existence from the world!

"Old Ancestor!"

On the Dragon Throne, Ji Hongxue finally snapped out of her cursed embarrassment. Her face turned pale, and without a second thought, the Golden Dragon of National Fortune behind her let out a roar as she prepared to intervene by force!

It was too late.

The invisible giant hand composed of Laws had already descended upon Su Chen's head.

"Junior, pay the price for your arrogance."

Ji Daoyan's voice was cold and ruthless, like the final judgment of a deity.

The civil and military officials were terrified.

Divine Master Su was truly doomed this time.

However.

At the very moment the invisible giant hand was about to fall.

Su Chen, who was tightly locked within the Law cage, performed an action that made everyone's eyes almost pop out of their sockets.

There was no panic or fear on his face.

Not even a hint of solemnity.

He simply gave a lazy smile, as if relieved of a burden.

"Sigh, you finally decided to make a move."

Su Chen took a long stretch and cracked his joints, making a "crackling" sound, as if he were just preparing for a warm-up.

"I originally wanted to play with you a bit longer."

"Since you're in such a hurry to be reincarnated, then I'll... fulfill your wish."

Su Chen looked at the giant Law hand above him that was enough to crush everything and muttered softly.

"It's just... a bit expensive..."

The moment he finished speaking.

He flicked his wrist and slowly took something out of his Storage Ring.
