280: Three Grandmasters Killed with a Flick of the Finger
"You didn't truly think that since this King has come personally, I would still let you leave alive, did you?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Lady Wang with a playful expression.
"Duan Zhengchun, must you really push things to such an absolute extreme?" Lady Wang's face was deathly pale, her eyes filled with resentment as she stared at Duan Zhengchun.
"Don't you find those words laughable? You were the one looking for people to kill me, and now that the plan has been exposed, you can actually say such things?"
"You didn't think this King was truly afraid of your Murong Clan, did you?"
"If I were truly afraid of your Murong Family, I wouldn't have killed Murong Bo and Dragon City."
"This King is very well aware of the principle of pulling up roots to eliminate the weeds. Therefore, you and your son Murong Fu must die today."
"No one can save you; I said so." Duan Zhengchun's tone was cold and overbearing.
"Do it. Leave none alive," Duan Zhengchun snorted coldly.
As soon as Duan Zhengchun's voice fell, Moon Princess moved. She instantly transformed into a purple afterimage, the sword in her hand emitting a Ruthless cold light as she wove through those Martial Artists, ruthlessly harvesting their lives.
Martial Artists of the Xiantian Realm had absolutely no power to fight back before a Great Grandmaster.
Within a few breaths, over a dozen Xiantian Realm Martial Artists had already fallen.
"Attack together! Deal with this woman first!"
Seeing the scene before them, the three Great Grandmasters could no longer care about anything else. At this moment, their only way to survive was to kill Duan Zhengchun and this woman.
Otherwise, they could only wait for death.
Although they also knew that their chances were slim this time, they did not want to give up resistance just like that.
The intervention of the three Great Grandmasters immediately changed the situation on the battlefield.
Although Moon Princess was a Great Grandmaster Master, she could handle one or even cope with two, but if three attacked together—along with so many Grandmaster experts—even with her formidable combat power, she would be no match.
Duan Zhengchun naturally would not let such a thing happen. Just as the three Great Grandmasters were about to move, he had already struck.
The three Great Grandmasters instantly felt their bodies enveloped by a terrifying force, rendering them unable to move an inch.
The three looked at each other, their expressions changing drastically.
They had previously thought there was a gap between them and Duan Zhengchun, but they never expected the gap to be this immense.
Seeing the three Great Grandmasters suppressed, Moon Princess felt a sudden surge of relief.
The sword in her hand became even more sharp. Although those Grandmaster experts weren't insta-killed in one move, they couldn't hold out for more than a few.
Soon, over half of these Martial Artists were dead or injured, and almost all the Xiantian Realm Martial Artists had been slain.
However, Moon Princess's speed also slowed down significantly. There was no helping it; facing the siege of a hundred people at once—even if the three strongest didn't participate—so many Grandmaster and Xiantian Realm experts were not that easy to deal with.
Seeing that the time for a stick of incense to burn had passed and the battle was still not over, Moon Princess's aura began to fluctuate and become unstable.
Duan Zhengchun shook his head helplessly. Moon Princess's strength had, after all, only just broken through to Great Grandmaster; facing the siege of so many Martial Artists, she was still somewhat lacking in strength.
However, he had no intention of intervening. Although he could use Medicinal Pills to raise Moon Princess's Realm, taking too many would also limit the upper bound of her growth.
What he wanted was for Moon Princess to experience this kind of life-and-death struggle to stimulate the potential within her body, allowing her to reach a higher level and ensuring her Foundation would be more stable.
Seeing that Moon Princess was about to become unable to hold on, an excited smile immediately appeared on Lady Wang's face.
"Haha... Do you see? Duan Zhengchun is just using you as a tool. Your life and death mean nothing in his eyes."
"He clearly has the strength to directly kill them, yet he refuses to act."
"Why do you still follow a man like this? I really don't know what you're thinking."
"A heartless and unrighteous person like him shouldn't be allowed to live."
"If you are willing to join forces, we can kill him together."
"All the treasures on his body will be ours. Stop struggling."
Lady Wang's actions actually surprised Duan Zhengchun somewhat. He hadn't expected this woman to still be so crazed at a time like this.
She was actually thinking of swaying Moon Princess to join forces with them against him.
She truly was a madwoman.
"No wonder Murong Bo took a fancy to you; you are indeed an extreme woman."
"After Murong Bo faked his death, you spent every day forcing your son to focus on his cultivation."
"Unfortunately, your son's talent is limited, and he doesn't like practicing much, so he has no achievements today."
"What a waste of your Murong Family's Legacy."
"And now, you even want to incite the people by this King's side to defect? You truly are delusional." Duan Zhengchun looked at Lady Wang with a mocking expression.
"Humph, you murderous Devil Head, meddling in things that don't concern you. Since when was it your turn to interfere in the affairs of our Murong Family?"
"Not only did you kill my husband, but you also killed our Murong Family's Old Ancestor."
"And now you actually want to come and kill us, a lone mother and son. You are a devil, a devil who deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces!" Lady Wang shouted emotionally, cursing loudly.
"Heh, this King has never been soft-hearted toward those who intend to strike at me."
"Since they want to snatch this King's things, they must be prepared to be killed by me."
"This King has always liked to pull up roots to eliminate weeds. Your Murong Family has always been thinking of restoring your kingdom, using conspiracies to try and incite war between Song and Liao so you could gain a share of the profits."
"That is your business; you should not have provoked this King."
"Since you've provoked me, then don't blame me for showing no mercy."
"Since you want them to risk their lives for you, then a price must be paid."
After Duan Zhengchun finished speaking, he raised his palm and made a sudden grasping motion toward the three Great Grandmasters.
Instantly, the bodies of the three Great Grandmasters were uncontrollably pulled toward him by a suction force.
Though their strength wasn't much, it shouldn't be wasted, right?
The Northern Darkness Divine Art was unleashed, and in an instant, the Internal Energy of the three men surged out wildly.
The three men's eyes instantly widened, filled with terror.
"Spare... spare my life! I was wrong, I was wrong!"
"Your Highness, spare me! Spare my life!"
Feeling the changes in their bodies, the three Great Grandmasters each showed looks of horror and began to beg for mercy.
However, how could Duan Zhengchun possibly give them the chance?
Within a few breaths, the Internal Energy of the three Great Grandmasters was completely drained.
The three were already completely powerless. Duan Zhengchun tossed them away like trash and, at the same time, clenched his palm.
Boom!
The corpses of the three Great Grandmasters exploded directly in mid-air. At this time, Moon Princess's battle was also nearing its end.
The ground was covered in corpses, blood flowed like a river, and the air was filled with a thick, bloody stench.
Moon Princess's appearance was somewhat disheveled. Her sword was propped against the ground as she knelt on one knee, her breath ragged and her body soaked in blood.
At this time, because her Internal Energy was overextended, Moon Princess was seriously injured. However, she had fulfilled Duan Zhengchun's command.
"Your Highness... I have fortunately not failed my mission..."
After Moon Princess finished speaking, her vision went black and she fell forward.
Duan Zhengchun reached out with a grasp, and Moon Princess's figure was instantly supported by a force, preventing her from falling.
"Truly a stubborn girl," Duan Zhengchun's tone was gentle.
Moon Princess's delicate brows twitched slightly.
