56: Chapter 56: The Five Adopted Sons Slayed, and Xu Xiaoxiong, the Prince of Zhenbei, Appears!

General Chen Bao looked at the four people behind him who were pinned to the city wall in an instant, their life force extinguished in a flash.

He felt a great shock in his heart, and the 'Plum Wine' in his hand continuously emitted excited tremors, as if it really wanted to have a great battle with the person before him.

In the distance, Xu Feng watched as four generals suddenly died,

his heart skipped a beat, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and an ill premonition couldn't help but rise within him.

"Zhou Yuxuan!" General Chen Bao shouted in a low voice.

General Chen Bao lifted his long spear and thrust; the phantom of a great spear behind him followed suit, blasting towards Zhou Yuxuan.

"Young Lord!"

The two women behind him watched General Chen Bao's powerful offensive and couldn't help but cry out in worry.

Inside the carriage, Qingniao also watched this scene, her heart filled with mixed emotions;

regarding Zhou Yuxuan, she didn't know if she hated him or had other feelings, but at this moment, she actually began to feel a bit worried about the man standing in front of her.

"No need to worry!" Zhou Yuxuan said indifferently.

Immediately after, waves of dense aura filled with various negative emotions unfolded from his body.

"Holy Demonic Fist Technique, First Form: Breaking Mountains and Rivers!" Zhou Yuxuan shouted lowly.

This was the technique he obtained by using that Emperor Rank Cultivation Technique quality upgrade opportunity to elevate the Demon-Breaking Fist Technique to the Saint Rank.

The sublimation of its quality caused the original Demon-Breaking Fist Technique to undergo unspeakable changes.

The original Demon-Breaking Fist Technique was meant to be holy and majestic, a fist technique capable of dealing damage to all evil spirits;

however, the Holy Demonic Fist Technique, after its quality was sublimated, was now filled with all kinds of negative emotions.

At this moment, Zhou Yuxuan looked exactly like a great Devil Head who had suffered Qi Deviation from practicing evil arts.

"Your Highness, should we help?"

Inside the carriage behind Zhou Yuxuan, a beautiful woman asked Donghuang Qing in a low voice.

"No need, just watch the show!"

"I misjudged this Zhou Yuxuan; I didn't expect his strength to be so great. However, he has killed so many of Prince of Northern Liang's adopted sons, so Xu Xiaoxiong surely won't let him off."

"When the time comes, we can take this opportunity to win him over."

Donghuang Qing said in a cold voice. In her view, there was no need to worry about Zhou Yuxuan's safety for now; the real concern would be after entering Northern Liang.

After all, there are many experts in Northern Liang.

Just then.

"Kill!" Zhou Yuxuan shouted again.

That fist struck directly onto the phantom of the great spear.

"What!" General Chen Bao's eyes widened, looking at Zhou Yuxuan with eyes full of disbelief.

At this moment, the pride in his heart and the strength he was so proud of were shattered by the Young Master of the Zhou Family.

At this time, the great spear dharma idol, which emitted an endless aura of slaughter, actually showed countless cracks.

The cracks began to spread from the tip of the spear, and in an instant, the entire dharma idol was covered in cracks like shattered glass.

"Bang!" In the next second, the dharma idol shattered.

Even the 'Plum Wine' in General Chen Bao's hand turned into countless fragments.

"Heh! How fragile!" Zhou Yuxuan sneered. He took a step forward and activated the Xing-zi Secret Technique.

Countless mysterious runes immediately emerged beneath his feet, and in the next moment, his figure vanished from the spot;

when he reappeared, he was already in front of General Chen Bao.

"Holy Demonic Fist Technique, Second Form: Destroying Heaven and Earth!"

Endless negative emotions unfolded again, and General Chen Bao, who was originally quite calm, was instantly affected.

Though he wanted to retreat and defend, he stood rooted to the spot.

"Bang!" Zhou Yuxuan struck his body with a punch. The terrifying power blew General Chen Bao's limbs apart, and flesh and blood flew everywhere instantly.

The remaining torso was blasted onto the city wall by the impact of this terrifying power, sticking to it as if coated in glue.

[Ding! Host has successfully changed the plot. Slain six of Prince of Northern Liang's adopted sons. Reward: Cultivation Realm increased by one level!]

...

Silence!

A deathly silence.

Xu Feng, standing far to the side, was trembling violently.

Perhaps it was because of General Chen Bao and the others' deaths, or perhaps it was because the various strong negative emotions emanating from Zhou Yuxuan had also enveloped him.

In short, Xu Feng's face was as pale as paper. Only after a long while did he come back to his senses,

looking at the five corpses on the city wall, his expression instantly turned ugly.

"Hmph! Trash!"

Xu Feng's eyes flickered with uncertainty, his thoughts unknown.

At this moment, inside the carriage, Qingniao clearly saw General Chen Bao's death through the gaps.

Her heart felt immensely gratified. Over the years, she had been trained into a Death Soldier by Prince of Northern Liang, and countless scenes of her past efforts flashed through her mind.

Hadn't she done it all just to one day kill her enemy with her own hands and avenge her father?

She originally thought she would never have the chance for revenge in this life, but then...

Now her master, that Young Master of the Zhou Family, had done it so easily; how could she maintain her composure?

Now, as the events outside the city came to a close,

the originally tightly closed gates of Zhenbei Royal City slowly opened,

and a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression was riding a horse out of the city gates.

Zhou Yuxuan recognized this person at a glance. His expression didn't change in the slightest despite having just killed five adopted sons, and he restrained the negative emotions on his body.

"I presume this is the Prince of Northern Suppression, Prince Xu. I hope I didn't startle you just now; it's just that a few blind fools blocked my way,"

"Surely the Prince won't blame me."

Zhou Yuxuan gave a light smile, completely indifferent to Prince of Northern Liang's face, which was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

Hearing Zhou Yuxuan's words, Prince of Northern Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of killing intent passing through them.

The attendants behind him were the same; they all had gloomy faces as they stared at Zhou Yuxuan.

As long as their Prince gave the order, they would rush out without hesitation, take down Zhou Yuxuan, and avenge the Prince and their generals!

Even if the wedding didn't happen this time, even if the army of the Great Shang Dynasty pressed upon their borders, they would not hesitate.

However, after waiting for several breaths, Prince of Northern Liang finally spoke.

"They... were my adopted sons!"

His voice was incredibly flat, making it impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.

"Adopted sons? That means their act of blocking the road just now represented Northern Liang, and represented you, Prince?"

"Prince, the marriage grant is the decree of Her Majesty the Empress. Are you trying to defy the imperial edict?"

Zhou Yuxuan said indifferently, his tone losing its rare warmth as he looked at Prince of Northern Liang.

Several breaths passed. The corpses on the city wall were still bleeding warm blood;

even as a few drops fell near Prince of Northern Liang, he remained unmoved.

Instead, he shook his head,

and sighed, "Not so..."

"The marriage granted by Her Majesty, and the marriage of the Eldest Princess into our family, is an honor for my Northern Liang. I couldn't be happier, so how could I send people to block the way? This was the act of several rebellious sons, not my intention."

After speaking, Prince of Northern Liang squeezed out a smile and said, "Young Master Zhou, the journey was long and you have worked hard. Please enter the city and rest first."
