Chapter 363: No More Hiding! Slaughter!

“My Imperial Father is truly… quite interesting!”

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back before the dilapidated town gate of Qianfu Town, a sneer playing on his lips.

He raised a hand to point at the paper lanterns within the town that swayed without wind, his voice laced with bone-chilling coldness.

“Such obvious ghostly mischief, yet he still wants me, the Crown Prince, to personally venture into danger…”

Lu Xuan suddenly chuckled lightly, “Could it be that he has… become senile?”

No sooner had his voice fallen than the iron armor of the three Imperial Guards behind Lu Xuan simultaneously emitted a harsh grinding sound.

A “kaka” sound of gears turning came from beneath Lu Yi’s faceplate, Lu Er pressed his hands on his saber hilt, and Lu San’s breathing suddenly grew heavy.

These cold killing machines, at this moment, displayed human-like emotional fluctuations because of Lu Xuan’s words.

“Your Royal Highness…”

Lu Yi’s voice was extremely cold: “Please watch your words… otherwise…”

“Don’t blame us for being rude!”

In an instant, the entire world fell silent.

Before Lu Yi and the other two could even move, dazzling golden light swept over them like a tide.

Their pupils beneath their profound iron faceplates suddenly constricted, reflecting the most shocking sight of their lives.

Hundreds of golden giant dragon phantoms soared into the sky from behind Lu Xuan, intertwining and circling in the void.

Every dragon scale shimmered with golden light, and the swaying of their whiskers brought forth gusts of wind.

The sacred and majestic dragon might felt substantial, pressing down on the three Imperial Guards’ iron armor, causing it to creak and their knees to involuntarily bend.

“This… this is…”

Lu Yi’s indifferent and emotionless voice completely changed its tone.

The imperial majesty they revered as divine was like a firefly before the bright moon in the face of such a true dragon phenomenon.

The golden glow scattered by the circling dragon phantoms illuminated the entire eerie street within Qianfu Town as if it were broad daylight.

Even more terrifyingly, as the dragon eyes opened and closed, Lu Yi and the other two had the illusion of being stared at by an ancient behemoth…

At the same time, their three faceplates instantly cracked, revealing their pale, ashen faces beneath.

This was the first time Lu Yi and the other two had displayed human fear since becoming Wenjing Imperial Guards…

Martial Dao Grandmaster!

Those hundreds of golden dragon phantoms were clearly formed from the profound Gale Force of a Martial Dao Grandmaster.

If it were an ordinary Martial Dao Grandmaster, Lu Yi and the other two would not have paid them any mind.

Because they were also newly advanced Martial Dao Grandmasters.

But unfortunately, Lu Xuan was not an ordinary Martial Dao Grandmaster.

He was a Martial Dao Grandmaster who had cultivated the most supreme royal cultivation technique of the Wenjing Dynasty.

“Nine Dragons Body Protection!”

“Martial Dao Grandmaster Major Achievement!”

These two combined were not as simple as one plus one.

Lu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a suffocating pressure that made Lu Yi and the other two gasp.

His Martial Dao Grandmaster aura was fully unleashed, faintly showing signs of breaking through to the peak.

He coldly swept his gaze over Lu Yi and the other two, his eyes like daggers.

The killing intent contained in his gaze was self-evident.

In the face of absolute strength, any surveillance and scheming were a joke.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort exploded like divine thunder from the nine heavens, carrying with it a vast dragon might.

Lu Yi and the three Imperial Guards were struck as if by divine punishment, their profound iron armor instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

Finally, with several “crunch” sounds, fragments flew everywhere.

Pfft…

Lu Yi, the leader, suddenly spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood, then retreated seven steps.

With each step he took, a bowl-sized pit exploded in the bluestone ground, sending stones flying.

Before the three of them could stabilize their footing, the sky above suddenly changed color.

Hundreds of golden dragon phantoms tore through the sky, diving down with world-destroying momentum.

Dragon roars shook the nine heavens, golden light illuminated the eight directions, and the entire bluestone road trembled under the dragon’s might.

Lu Yi and the other two had ashen faces; in the face of such majestic heavenly might, their proud martial arts cultivation was simply laughable.

Seeing the dragon phantoms about to engulf the three of them—

“Your Royal Highness… spare us!”

“We are His Majesty’s people, Imperial Guards of the Wenjing Dynasty!”

Lu Yi finally roared out, his voice filled with unprecedented terror.

This cold-blooded Wenjing Imperial Guard felt the fear of death for the first time in his life…

However, Lu Xuan remained composed, showing no intention of acknowledging Lu Yi and the other two.

After Lu Yi and the other two saw that their pleas for mercy were futile, fierce light suddenly appeared in their eyes.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Three harsh sword cries sounded simultaneously.

What followed were hundreds of dark sword auras.

These black sword auras tore through the air, each containing terrifying power capable of severing mountains.

Wherever the black sword auras passed, even the air showed violent fluctuations.

However—

Hundreds of “Roar!” dragon roars exploded simultaneously!

The hundreds of golden dragon phantoms in the sky roared down, and dazzling golden light instantly engulfed all darkness.

Those indestructible black sword auras melted away in the blink of an eye, like ice and snow meeting scorching sun.

Immediately after, amidst earth-shattering roars, the entire street trembled violently.

The bluestone slabs shattered inch by inch, the gate of Qianfu Town shook, and tiles fell like rain from above.

After the golden light dissipated…

Only three shocking giant pits remained on the ground, with twisted and deformed fragments of profound iron armor scattered within them.

A few wisps of crimson blood mist still floated in the air, proving that three living… people had once existed here.

Lu Xuan indifferently withdrew his gaze, his dark purple sleeve gently brushing.

A gentle breeze swept through, and even the last traces of blood vanished without a trace, as if the three Imperial Guards had never existed…

Lu Xuan did not spare another glance, turning and stepping into Qianfu Town.

As his dark purple robes fluttered, the circling golden dragon phantoms gradually faded, but left a lingering dragon roar in the air.

At this moment, Lu Xuan wanted everyone to understand.

Even the supreme ruler of the Wenjing Dynasty would no longer dictate his actions.

“Brother, can you kick the shuttlecock over to me?”

A tender child’s voice suddenly sounded.

As Lu Xuan stepped onto the bluestone path of Qianfu Town, a ball woven from dry grass slowly rolled to his feet.

Looking up, five or six children, about seven or eight years old, stood at the street corner.

They wore coarse cloth clothes, their faces rosy, and their eyes filled with expectation.

One little girl with pigtails even shyly hid behind her companions.

They were exactly like ordinary children of the market.

“Alright…”

A strange curve appeared at the corner of Lu Xuan’s mouth, and golden light flared in his eyes.

He slowly raised his right leg, but the moment it touched the grass ball—

Roar!!!

Several golden dragon phantoms plunged directly from the nine heavens, their mouths wide open, swallowing all those “children.”

Amidst piercing screams, those innocent little faces instantly twisted and deformed, revealing their true forms of green faces and fangs.

Their bodies melted like wax figures, oozing foul black blood.

Lu Xuan took a deep breath, feeling the surging Gale Force within him.

The more ghosts there were, the more excited he became.

At this moment, the “residential” buildings along the entire street suddenly shook violently, and countless dark figures seeped out from door and window cracks….
