"Mian'er~"

Qin Feng exclaimed in surprise, utterly unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.

He forced back his wounds and roared, "You actually... killed Mian'er?"

"snort……"

Shen Zhao sneered: "Killed is killed, so what? People like that deserve to die a thousand times over!"

Qin Feng's face was full of disbelief: "Do you know who she is? She's the granddaughter of the Supreme Emperor of the Imperial Palace! How dare you kill her?"

"Oh, the Emperor's granddaughter, huh? She must be trembling with fear."

Shen Zhao raised the soft bone whip in his hand.

"So what? I gave her a chance to live, but she was ungrateful and tried to play mind games with me. Why would I keep someone like that around to make myself miserable?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng trembled with fear.

Shen Zhao smiled and said, "Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Since you care about her so much, go down there and keep her company."

"No, you can't kill me!"

Qin Feng retreated repeatedly, filled with fear and trepidation.

"Shen Zhao, I haven't offended you, you can't kill me. Although we did have some unpleasant experiences in Yunzhou..."

But that was just an accident, a personal grudge between me and the Shi family. You can't hold a grudge over something like that. I didn't offend you at all.

"You didn't offend me? You were already dead the moment you started having designs on my Yunying."

"A beautiful and graceful lady is sought after by gentlemen; can't I even dream about it?"

"Oh ho, so you're even using the Book of Songs for me, huh!"

Enraged, Shen Zhao lashed Qin Feng across the chest with his whip, instantly sending up a blue flame that scorched Qin Feng, causing him to scream in agony.

Just as Shen Zhao was about to deliver the fatal blow and end Qin Feng's life, a majestic voice suddenly came from afar.

"You brat! How dare you cause trouble at Saintly Monarch Rock! Kneel before this Emperor!"

A surging imperial pressure descended from the sky.

"Heh, is it Yang Jing or Zheng Xiao?"

Shen Zhao was not afraid at all; on the contrary, he made sarcastic remarks.

"Knowing my name, you remain so calm; it seems you are very confident in your abilities."

"You flatter me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhao took a step forward and stepped on Qin Feng's head.

"Trying to escape?"

"Ah, Venerable One, save me! He killed Mian'er!"

Now that things have come to this, Qin Feng can only entrust all his hopes for survival to Yang Rong.

"What! Mian'er is dead?"

A towering column of water erupted from the Azure Pool, and Yang Jing, furious, fell directly from mid-air.

"You killed Mian'er!"

Upon seeing his granddaughter's corpse, Yang Jing could no longer suppress his anger and threw a punch at Shen Zhao.

Without saying a word, Shen Zhao kicked Qin Feng and raised one hand in front of him to block.

What are you going to do?

"This is the last place you can use. Take care."

Shen Zhao left behind a sentence and quickly leaped into the air.

Qin Feng was so frightened that he wet himself, watching helplessly as the fatal blow approached him, but he couldn't take a step.

No~

Boom~

Amidst his terrified and unwilling roar, he was directly blasted into dust by the Emperor's full power.

A chosen one of destiny met a tragic end in such an inexplicable way.

Upon seeing this, Shen Zhao, who was in the void, asked exaggeratedly, "This is your beloved relative and your grandson-in-law, who is both your teacher and student. You actually killed him? You old man, how cruel you are."

As he spoke, a crocodile tear rolled down his cheek.

Yang Jingqi trembled with fear: "What use is this piece of trash who can't even protect my granddaughter! And you, you can die too!"

The emperor's power was fully displayed, and the winds and clouds changed color.

The earth's energy in Bibo Pool condensed completely and quickly gathered around Yang Jing's entire body.

"Oh? Old man, you want to settle this with one move? That suits me just the way it is!"

Shen Zhao smiled contemptuously, then took a step forward and bent down.

"Emperor Dragon Seal!"

Enraged, Yang Jing formed a hand seal, conjuring a five-clawed golden dragon totem that, accompanied by the power of ultimate Daoist energy, soared straight into the sky and sank into the heavens.

"Great Brahma Fire Palm!"

The Southern Bright Fire merged with the vast true essence of Buddhism, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, and fell from afar.

The moment the palm and the seal collided, the entire space began to shake violently.

"puff--"

Yang Jing coughed up a mouthful of blood and his body flew backward uncontrollably for more than ten feet.

As the smoke and dust cleared, Shen Zhao, holding a wine gourd, appeared calm and unharmed.

"Who are you?"

After regaining his senses, Yang Jing finally realized that the person in front of him was far stronger than himself, and he couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

"Someone who has taken a liking to the Seven-Colored Sacred Monarch Rock."

"You actually dare to set your sights on Saint King Rock? Where do you get the audacity?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhao pointed to the injuries on Yang Jing's body and said, "The injuries on your body are my source of confidence."

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jing laughed three times and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"What harm do you think this little injury can do to me?"

The next second, Yang Jing was enveloped in imperial aura, and in the blink of an eye, the damage that Shen Zhao had inflicted on him was completely healed.

"How about that? Your attacks have no effect on me, now..."

Boom~

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Zhao slammed him into the stone wall with another palm strike.

"You can heal your injuries, huh? You think you're immortal? Well, let's see if your healing speed can keep up with my damage output."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhao's figure moved like a ghost, constantly shuttling back and forth around Yang Jing.

Fists, palms, fingers, claws, and legs—every move was fierce and deadly.

In just a short while, Yang Jing was covered in wounds. He wanted to use his imperial energy to heal his injuries, but he simply couldn't keep up with such a fast pace.
