68: Who are you?

"Die!"

The burly man suddenly shouted fiercely, transforming into a streak of black lightning, his entire right palm carrying incomparable power as he ruthlessly struck at Jiang Tian and the others.

"Evil Heart Palm!"

In an instant, he struck several times, the terrifying palm energy instantly obliterating the witnesses.

Everything happened too quickly; the unexpected attack left everyone stunned.

They had assumed the Heir Apparent of Prince Zhennan would negotiate with General Zhang, but they hadn't expected him to be so domineering, killing all the witnesses right in front of him.

The Elders of Cao Gang were overjoyed; the more arrogant the Heir Apparent of Prince Zhennan was, the safer they would be.

General Zhang's expression turned ugly, and he shouted angrily:

"Flying Dragon Army, form the Nine Suns Gale Formation!"

The Flying Dragon Army moved instantly; due to their constant training, their minds were already in sync, and within a few breaths, the Nine Suns Gale Formation was set up.

A terrifying Aura condensed within the military Formation, resembling burning suns.

The air temperature rose rapidly, and a single strike of the terrifying gale wind could take the life of a Vajra Realm expert.

Everyone immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Even a Grandmaster would not dare to underestimate it, as one misstep could result in severe injury.

This was a military Formation capable of trapping a Sha-level Great Demon.

"Your Highness, what is the meaning of this? You owe me an explanation!"

General Zhang demanded, having watched the witnesses protected by the Demon Suppression Guard be killed right before his eyes.

This was undoubtedly a provocation against him.

Yang Haotian, the Heir Apparent, frowned, feeling somewhat wary of this Formation.

"General Zhang, this Heir Apparent merely killed a few raving madmen, why be so angry?"

"For the sake of my Face, let this matter end here. I won't make things difficult for you; withdraw your troops immediately, and pretend you were never here today."

General Zhang's Face turned livid.

He was now in a dilemma; whether it was Prince Zhennan or the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, neither was someone he could afford to offend.

He could not attack the Heir Apparent of Prince Zhennan; even if the Heir Apparent was at fault, there were specialized institutions to judge him, not something he could act rashly upon.

But he couldn't just let it go; the people from the Demon Suppression Division were watching from the side.

Therefore, he could only maintain his stance.

Fu Yunxuan noticed General Zhang's hesitation and said: "General Zhang, you cannot retreat. Behind you stands the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division; you cannot lose Face!"

General Zhang's gaze sharpened, seemingly having made a decision.

Yang Haotian, the Heir Apparent, looked at Fu Yunxuan, "You must be the girl that Shen Commander picked up. You certainly have some beauty. My father and Shen Commander are old acquaintances; why not resign from your position as a Demon Suppression Guard and come to my Zhennan Royal Family? I am willing to take you as a concubine; wouldn't that be more promising than staying in the Demon Suppression Division?"

"For a woman to be fighting demons all day long, it simply ruins the fun."

Fu Yunxuan was enraged by Yang Haotian's words. To be belittled like this—did he take her for a songstress to dance for him? She immediately said coldly: "What I choose to do is no concern of the Heir Apparent."

"I advise the Heir Apparent not to wade into these muddy waters. Pacifying the water monster disaster is a matter Lord Zhenfu is personally overseeing, and Cao Gang is the culprit. I ask the Heir Apparent not to lead yourself astray!"

Yang Haotian laughed wildly: "Using your Pacification Envoy to pressure me? You are not qualified enough. Unless your Pacification Envoy comes in person, otherwise, I am determined to protect Cao Gang today!"

"You..."

Fu Yunxuan was speechless for a moment.

Just at this moment.

A strange fluctuation came from the sky, and a figure appeared at the end of the world.

He stepped on the Void Realm, with lotuses blooming at every step.

His posture was upright, his long hair fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were cold.

Within a few breaths, he arrived above the crowd.

His life force was immense, like a blazing sun in the sky, making it impossible for people to look directly at him.

He seemed like a peerless Grandmaster walking in the mortal world.

"Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm!"

A trace of shock flashed in General Zhang's eyes, and this was no ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Martial Arts Grandmasters have the ability to fly briefly, but to achieve the level of stepping through the Void Realm, only some extremely powerful Grandmasters can do it.

He had a strong feeling that even if he used the Nine Suns Gale Formation with all his might, he could not trap this person.

Everyone was shaken by this extremely powerful Aura; the pressure was too overwhelming.

"This subordinate greets Lord!"

Fu Yunxuan's eyes lit up. She had been wondering where such an overbearing Martial Arts Grandmaster had come from, but upon seeing it was her own Lord, she immediately bowed.

General Zhang also bowed immediately and said: "Greetings, Lord Chu!"

Seeing Fu Yunxuan's reaction, he naturally understood that the person before him was Chu Jiang of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, the person in charge of this water monster disaster.

To have advanced to the Grandmaster realm at such a young age, he could be called a talent of his generation.

"So it is you who wants to take this official's subordinate as a concubine!"

Chu Jiang looked down at Yang Haotian coldly, causing him to feel immense pressure.

"This Heir Apparent was only joking just now; it cannot be taken seriously. You must be the person in charge of this incident, the one who can make decisions. Order them to withdraw."

"This Heir Apparent will surely reward you heavily, and you can gain the friendship of the Zhennan Royal Family."

Yang Haotian said, cupping his hands.

Facing a Martial Arts Grandmaster, his tone was much softer than before.

But he still maintained an aloof attitude.

He felt he had given him enough Face; if it were anyone else, he would definitely make them disappear.

Whoosh!

The next moment.

Chu Jiang's figure instantly disappeared from where he stood, and a pair of large hands suddenly gripped Yang Haotian's neck, holding him like a small chick.

"What are you, to dare bark like a dog in front of this official!"

Everyone was startled by Chu Jiang's actions.

Sun Qianqiu: "Audacious! How dare you attack His Highness, the Heir Apparent!"

Even though he was no match, he rushed forward.

It was he who had invited Yang Haotian; if anything happened to Yang Haotian, the Zhennan Royal Family would certainly not spare him.

"You are courting death! By touching the Heir Apparent of Prince Zhennan, I will exterminate your nine clans!"

The burly man's expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward rapidly, preparing to rescue Yang Haotian.

Lightning flashed in Chu Jiang's eyes, and with one palm carrying the force of ten thousand jun, the powers of wind, thunder, and fire permeated the air as he swept across.

"Attacking and killing Demon Suppression Division witnesses is equivalent to treason and must be punished with death!"

Splat!

The burly man was blown apart on the spot; his body was torn to pieces, organs scattered everywhere, with severed limbs and arms—a bloody scene that shocked everyone.

Sun Qianqiu's Face went blank with extreme terror; this was a Half-step Grandmaster!

He was actually slapped to death.

"You actually killed someone from the Zhennan Royal Family, you..."

Whoosh!

Chu Jiang instantly appeared in front of Sun Qianqiu and swung Yang Haotian like a hammer at him; the force was so great that Sun Qianqiu was sent flying dozens of meters away.

Yang Haotian was instantly sent spinning by this immense force, his Meridians rupturing.

"As the leader of Cao Gang, you ordered the slaughter of commoners and colluded with demons; you deserve to die!"

Chu Jiang stepped forward again, ruthlessly stomping on Sun Qianqiu's head, the power of thunder and fire beneath his foot turning his head into a charred mess.

Then, it instantly exploded, with dozens of brain fragments splattering wildly.

They splattered onto the Faces of the Cao Gang members, still carrying a warm, charred smell.

"Leader!"

Several Elders were terrified, letting out miserable screams.

How could this Chu Jiang be so audacious?
