113: Chapter 113 The Thirteen Captains of the Tribunal!
After slashing through the lightning saber net with a single stroke, Chu Tianxing's figure flickered, transforming into a stream of light as he rapidly fled into the distance!
"Trying to run? No way!"
The Black Feather Saber King shouted, blocking Chu Tianxing's path. Although his Combat Power was formidable, his speed was far inferior to Chu Tianxing's.
Chu Tianxing's figure flickered again, moving like a bolt of lightning, and a pair of Wind Thunder Wings appeared on his back!
*Whoosh!*
He directly bypassed the Black Feather Saber King, who was utterly unable to stop him.
The Black Feather Saber King's face turned gloomy. "Damn it! How can he be so fast?!"
He looked at the Saber Emperor and said coldly, "Saber Emperor, do you really think he can escape? This is the Royal City, a city teeming with experts!! Countless people serve the royal family here; the royal family's people are everywhere. Now, the wanted order has been issued. He won't get out!"
"Whether he gets out or not is his own fate. Right now, I am extremely displeased!!"
The Saber Emperor said in a deep voice.
An overwhelmingly domineering Saber Intent surged forth from his body!
The Saber Intent soared into the sky, churning the sea of clouds!
In an instant, the sounds of clashing weapons and galloping horses echoed all around.
The Saber Emperor looked towards the direction of the palace and snorted coldly. "Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I last fought the Dragon Emperor. Today, I'll go find him for a bout, a little sparring!!"
*Whoosh!*
He took a step forward, his body like a saber's gleam piercing through the air.
The Black Feather Saber King dared not block him, but was blasted away by the domineering saber energy emanating from the Saber Emperor's body.
The Black Feather Saber King crashed through several walls, spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked in the direction the Saber Emperor had left. He knew the other was venting his anger, but as a Sovereign, the Saber Emperor was beyond his reach.
He snorted coldly, then looked towards the direction Chu Tianxing had fled. "For now, let's deal with this guy first!"
He chased after Chu Tianxing in the direction he had fled.
Meanwhile, in the Royal City...
The wanted order for Chu Tianxing had been issued.
Instantly, the entire city was in an uproar!
Countless people looked at the bounty on Chu Tianxing, utterly shocked.
The Royal City had issued many bounties before.
The most famous among them was the demon king ranking list. Every demon king on that list was worth a significant number of spirit stones.
Especially the demon kings in the top ten of the demon king ranking list.
Each was worth over five million spirit stones!
For ordinary martial artists, this was an unimaginably astronomical figure.
Of course, while this bounty was tempting, across the entire Blue Star, the martial artists capable of killing a top-ten demon king could be counted on one hand.
Basically, it was just those few Sovereigns!
And now, the bounty placed on Chu Tianxing was equally high... five million spirit stones!
Equivalent to a top-ten demon king on the demon king ranking list!
But, Chu Tianxing wasn't a demon king!
Moreover, he was a human prodigy, seen by countless people as a future Sovereign, a pillar of humanity.
Yet now, such a prodigy was actually being offered a bounty of five million spirit stones by the royal family!
And it was dead or alive!
What on earth had he done?! To make the royal family invest such a huge sum?!
"My heavens, just a few days ago he was a human prodigy, a future pillar. How did he become a wanted fugitive so quickly?!"
"What did Chu Tianxing do?"
"It seems he killed someone from the royal family!"
"He killed the Seventh Prince, Xiao Jinran!"
"Tsk, killing royalty? No wonder the royal family issued a wanted order for him."
"Not only that. The royal family's bounty on him probably isn't just because he killed royalty. It's also because his talent and potential are too terrifying, and he refuses to submit to the royal family. This likely made the royal family feel threatened, hence the bounty."
"Hmm, that's possible."
"Regardless, five million spirit stones... With that many spirit stones, you'd be set for life!"
"Although Chu Tianxing is strong, he's only one person. Now that the wanted order is out, the entire Royal City is his enemy. No matter how strong his individual power is, he will eventually run out of stamina. By then, even those far inferior in Combat Power will have a chance to kill him!"
"Exactly."
Many people's hearts were already beginning to stir with greed.
Chu Tianxing activated his [Wind Thunder Wings], flying towards the outskirts of the Royal City at incredible speed.
But at that moment, a layer of azure-blue light shimmered in the sky.
Chu Tianxing glanced at it, thoughtful. "It's the Royal City's energy barrier. I wonder if the saber in my hand can cut through it?"
Chu Tianxing gripped the golden lion precious saber in his hand.
For some reason, even though his current situation was extremely perilous, with countless people wanting his life...
He didn't feel the slightest bit of fear.
On the contrary, a faint thrill of excitement stirred within his heart!!
Opportunities to fight against all the experts of the Royal City were rare!
And now, a whole group of experts had him in their sights!
How many combat points would they deliver to him?!
Thinking this, the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!*
At that moment, over a dozen martial artists from the Adjudication Department appeared before him.
They blocked Chu Tianxing's path forward.
These people were not comparable to the Adjudication Department Blademasters the Black Feather Saber King had brought earlier!
The aura emanating from these people, the weapons they used, were all completely different, yet each gave off an incredibly powerful feeling.
"The Adjudication Department is an institution the royal family specifically uses to deal with those who threaten humanity, betray humanity, or offend the royal family! Besides the Department Head of the Adjudication Department, the next in line are the various captains. These people should be those captain-level figures!"
Chu Tianxing glanced; there were thirteen in total.
The Combat Power of these thirteen had all broken through to a level exceeding one hundred thousand.
The leader among them was a burly, thick-waisted man. He held a giant sword as large as a door plank, his imposing aura as majestic as mountains and rivers!
He was the Captain of the First Team in the Adjudication Department, second in status only to the Department Head...
Cheng Shanhe!
Moreover, he was only second to the Black Feather Saber King in terms of status.
As for Combat Power, rumors said this man might even surpass the Black Feather Saber King!
"So this is the peerless prodigy who caused all this commotion? He does look quite extraordinary."
Cheng Shanhe watched Chu Tianxing speeding towards them, stroking his chin with a somewhat playful expression.
A one-eyed woman wearing an eye patch, holding a massive bow, began to draw the string. "Let me test him first!!"
As the bowstring was drawn taut!
A gigantic arrow materialized, locking onto Chu Tianxing!
*Whoosh!*
The arrow shot forth. Its speed was like a fleeting stream of light; its power seemed capable of shattering mountains and seas!
Looking at the arrow, Chu Tianxing felt a chill.
This arrow was even more terrifying than the one the old man beside Xiao Jinran had used to ambush him in the past!
Of course, the current Chu Tianxing was not the same as before.
Facing this arrow, he placed his hand on the golden lion precious saber at his waist and slashed out with extreme speed!!
*Clang!*
The arrow was cleanly split in two by him!
And he had already arrived before the thirteen captains of the Adjudication Department. Looking at the thirteen before him, he said calmly, "To capture just one person, you've mobilized thirteen captains of the Adjudication Department. Interesting. I doubt anyone else on Blue Star has received such treatment, right?"
The one-eyed woman looked at Chu Tianxing and chuckled. "Being able to block my arrow so easily, you truly are extraordinary. No wonder His Majesty issued the order to kill you at all costs!"
Chu Tianxing said calmly to the thirteen, "In that case, what are you waiting for? Why not make your move?"
The thirteen focused their gazes on Chu Tianxing.
At that moment.
A white-clad swordsman with a sword at his waist said indifferently, "My sword is only used against threats to humanity, not as a royal family's killing tool. I came here merely out of curiosity. I will not participate in this fight."
Having said that, his figure flickered, and he appeared on the balcony of a distant building, watching the battle unfold.
Another tall, burly man laughed heartily. "So many people ganging up on one? I couldn't bring myself to do that. You guys have fun."
He also left.
Thirteen captains remained, now only eleven.
The one-eyed woman snorted lightly. "Those two, always so undisciplined and free-spirited. They don't even listen to the royal family's orders."
"It's fine. The eleven of us are more than enough."
A thin, short man playing with a dagger said. His eyebrows were narrow, his eyes slightly squinted. Looking at Chu Tianxing, he resembled a poisonous snake ready to strike!
He gave off a chilling feeling.
"Attack!!"
Cheng Shanhe barked the order.
But the moment his words fell, Chu Tianxing had already moved first.
He fully activated his [Wind Thunder Wings] and appeared before the one-eyed woman.
The one-eyed woman grinned. "You think because I'm an archer, my close-combat ability must be weak, so you plan to take me out first?! How naive!!"
It was true she was an archer.
But she wasn't just skilled at shooting arrows. Facing Chu Tianxing's attack, a blade appeared on her longbow!
That longbow was both a bow and a peculiarly shaped saber!
She slashed down towards Chu Tianxing.
But the moment their blades met, with a *clang*, the bow-like saber in the one-eyed woman's hand was directly severed!
And the saber in Chu Tianxing's hand had already cleaved through the one-eyed woman's body, splitting her in two!
"Concept as Saber: Lightning Flash Dragon Slaying!"
Chu Tianxing said calmly.
The one-eyed woman's eyes widened in disbelief, unable to believe she had been killed by a single stroke!!
Not far away, the white-clad man and the burly man who had chosen not to fight Chu Tianxing saw this scene, and a sense of shock arose in their hearts.
"What a terrifying slash!"
"Captain Zhang was careless! She shouldn't have clashed head-on with Chu Tianxing. Chu Tianxing's saber is a seventh-tier profound weapon, while her bow is only an ordinary sixth-tier one, and it's still a bow." The white-clad swordsman nodded slightly.
"Hmm, true. But to kill Captain Zhang with one slash... this guy is a bit too exaggerated."
The burly man couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. He clicked his tongue. "Seems like choosing not to fight him was a relatively wise decision on my part."
