Chapter 153.2
At this very moment, the fleeing Great Shi Emperor urged his party on.
Hurry up, the troops of Great Xue are about to descend upon us!
That Great Xue Emperor is a ruthless killer; if he catches up to us, not only is my life at stake but you all are doomed as well!
The sooner we get to Great Xia, the sooner we can relax!
The coachman, while cracking his whip, responded with a wry smile, Your Majesty, we are already going as fast as we can! If we go any faster, even if you can endure it, our horses cannot!
I dont care, just make it faster! Great Shi Emperor urged.
At that moment, the leader of his Imperial Guard called out, Your Majesty, a vast caravan is rapidly approaching!
Great Shi Emperor turned pale with fright: Has Great Xues army come to attack?
Your Majesty, it doesnt seem to be an army
Great Shi Emperor lifted the curtain and saw indeed a large caravan drawing near.
This caravan didnt appear to have any soldiers, but the carriages looked exceptionally luxurious, adorned with numerous intricate decorations.
He recognized these decorations; they belonged to the Great Zhu royal family, only they were entitled to use them.
If someone else used it, it would be an overstepping of bounds, punishable by beheading.
In the middle of this procession of luxurious carriages, there was one that was even more luxurious and exquisite. The Great Shi Emperor recognized it at a glanceit belonged to the Great Zhu Emperor. Its name was the Nine Dragons Auspicious Cloud Carriage, and only the Great Zhu Emperor was entitled to ride in it.
The Great Shi Emperor pondered, So, this is the convoy of the Great Zhu royal family. Have they also fled?
At that moment, someone inside the Nine Dragons Auspicious Cloud Carriage lifted the curtain to look at the Great Shi Emperors convoy, also deep in thought.
Then, the two shared an awkward smile and silently retreated back into their respective carriages, continuing their escape.
After half an incense sticks time had passed, the two convoys suddenly came to a halt.
The Great Shi Emperor lifted the curtain and exclaimed angrily, Why have we stopped? If we are caught by Great Xues forces, can you bear the responsibility?
Your Majesty, please forgive us, there is someone blocking the road ahead, we had to stop!
Great Shi Emperor grew even angrier: Someone is blocking the way? Why dont you just have him cut down?
Your Majesty, we cant cut him down, this person seems to be the Emperor of the Great Xue Kingdom!
What?!
Great Shi Emperor was shocked and pale: He actually caught up?
He immediately leaned forward to look and indeed saw a person at the front of the convoy.
The man was tall and imposing, with an indifferent expression and a piercing gaze.
Although of ordinary appearance, there was an inviolable aura about him that made it difficult for others to look him in the eye.
Although the Great Shi Emperor had never met the Emperor of the Great Xue Kingdom, judging by the others attire and demeanor, there was no doubt that this was the Great Xue Emperor.
Its over! The Great Shi Emperor was so frightened that his complexion turned ashen, his heart filled with despair.
In another carriage, the Great Zhu Emperor was equally terrified, his face pale as paper, he said in a panic, That demon has already caught up to us, what do we do now? Hurry, think of something!
The people around all laughed, their laughter filled with bitterness.
The enemy has come knocking at your door, what plan could there possibly be?
Accept your fate!
At this moment, Great Xue Emperor first glanced at Great Shi Emperor, then looked at the other convoy where Great Zhu Emperor was, and said with a light smile, Running so fast, you really made me search hard! Fortunately, Heaven helps those who help themselves, and at last, I have found you!
With that, he walked over step by step.
You, you, you what do you want to do? Great Shi Emperor trembled as he spoke.
To take your dog lives and to eliminate all threats!
Great Xue Emperor said unabashedly, For you two cowards who cling to life and fear death, to die by my hand is an honor!
Take all these gold and jewels, just spare us a way to live, please? Great Zhu Emperor begged.
Mmhm, theyre all yours! Great Shi Emperor nodded vigorously.
By killing you, all of these will be mine as well!
Great Xue Emperor laughed, Out of respect for the fact that we are both Emperors, I will allow you to die with dignity!
What dignity? Great Zhu Emperor asked with a glimmer of hope.
Great Xue Emperor replied coldly, A complete corpse!
The Emperors of Great Shi and Great Zhu turned pale with fright.
At that moment, an Innate master from the Great Zhu Kingdom let out a choked sound as he drew his sword and charged forward with a loud roar, You shall not harm His Majesty!
The saber Qi was piercingly cold, and the intent to kill soared to the skies!
However, with just a single palm strike, Great Xue Emperor had killed his opponent!
This scene deeply shocked everyone!
Other Innate powerhouses, looking at the corpse torn asunder, felt a chill run through their bodies and dared not make a move!
One of them took the chance to slip away.
Your Majesty, the enemy is too strong, I can only apologize to you!
After the first one fled, a second followed.
Your Majesty, this lowly commander does not wish to die, Im slipping away first!
Then came the third, the fourth
Both Emperors cried, pleading loudly.
Dont run away, all of you come back to me!
I have treated you all well, if you must run, take me with you!
But no one listened.
Not one of you shall escape!
The Great Xue Emperor bellowed and then began a great slaughter, killing all the remaining or fleeing Innate masters, as well as other acquired realm experts, leaving none alive.
By the end, only the royal families of the two nations remained, along with some non-threatening servants.
It wasnt that they didnt want to flee; it was that those who tried to escape were already dead.
They wanted to survive, even if it meant living in a wretched state.
However, the Great Xue Emperor was not inclined to grant their wishes. Standing before them with blood-stained hands, he said coldly, My word is as heavy as nine tripods; I promised to leave your bodies intact, and so I shall. Go in peace!
No, please! Do not kill us the two emperors begged.
The Great Xue Emperor had already raised his right hand, but at that moment, his expression suddenly changed.
Because a sword, ablaze with fire, was flying towards him.
This sword truly made him feel endangered, and the Great Xue Emperor had no choice but to abandon the person before him, reaching out to block it, only to be sent flying dozens of yards, the blood on his hands completely evaporated.
The sword flew back and landed in the hands of an old man.
These people, I shall protect them. You should leave!
Are you the Sword Elder of Great Xia? the Great Xue Emperor exclaimed in shock and anger.
Indeed, it is I, the Sword Elder nodded.
The Great Xue Emperor roared, Didnt your Great Xia take my money and agree not to interfere in this matter? Why have you come?
Sword Elder spoke with a calm demeanor, Indeed, we of Great Xia have accepted your money, but we have also taken money from the royal families of Great Zhu and Great Shi! According to our agreement, we are to ensure their safety!
Great Xue Emperor trembled with rage, How audacious! Youre taking from all three sides!
You may leave. We of Great Xia will not concern ourselves with the situations of Great Shi and Great Zhu, but their lives must be spared! Otherwise, I will have no choice but to seek some advice from you! Sword Elder, holding the Xuanxiao Sword, threatened.
How dare you!!! The heart of Great Xue Emperor was about to burst with fury!
Threatened again!
Once more, he was being threatened by Great Xia!
Great Xia, your bullying is too much!!!
Great Xue Emperor glanced at the two Emperors, then at Sword Elder, and with an ashen face, he said, Fine! I will let them go this time! But I will remember this debt!
Using his movement skill, he quickly left the area.
Sword Elder sheathed his sword.
The two Emperors, with the joy of having survived a calamity, said, Weve finally made it out alive!
