"You...you..." Shen Xingchao clutched the large hole in his waist, his mouth gurgling, before he could utter a complete sentence and his life was cut off.

At this moment, he felt deep regret. He regretted his arrogance and his overbearing attitude, relying on the power of the Prince of Jin. Now he realized that in this world, strength is the ultimate measure of respect.

But who would have thought that such an ordinary-looking pretty boy could have such a terrifyingly high level of cultivation?

All the intelligence about him in the capital is wrong, and countless people are going to suffer greatly at his hands.

Why did I have to be the one to step on this landmine?

I hate it so much...

He fell heavily to the ground, his eyes wide open, clearly dying with his eyes open in disbelief.

Everyone around was dumbfounded. Originally, Shen Xingchao was showing off his flying sword and everyone was thinking about how he would beat up that pretty boy. How did the situation turn around in the blink of an eye? What happened? Why did his own flying sword kill him?

Zuan reached out and the yellow talisman returned to his hand. It had a special rune drawn on it, with a small sword in the center, and a faint light flowing through it.

This thing is quite interesting. I can make more of them and give them to my female friends for self-defense.

He was in a bad mood today. Although he said he didn't want to be a grandson of the former emperor, the thought of so many of his relatives dying tragically at the hands of the Zhao family made him furious. And yet, Zhao Ruiyong was still acting arrogantly in front of him.

Unfortunately, that guy surnamed Shen had previously injured Chu Youzhao and so many guards in the mansion, and his sword strikes against me were extremely vicious. I'm just letting him suffer the consequences of his own actions.

Seeing his most trusted advisor, Elder Shen, die so easily, Prince Jin was both shocked and furious: "How dare you kill my Elder Shen? Who gave you the audacity?"

Anger points from Zhao Ruiyong: +444 +444 +444...

Zu An said coldly, "Even at this point, you still dare to bark at me like a dog. I'm equally curious who gave you the guts?"

The Prince of Jin was taken aback at first, then flew into a rage: "Barking like a dog? You dog slave, how dare you be so disrespectful to me!"

"You're nothing but a dog kept in my brother's palace. Even if you become a marquis, you're still just a dog with a slightly higher status!"

Anger points from Zhao Ruiyong: +499 +499 +499...

He was cursing when suddenly his voice stopped, because he felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his neck and lifting him into the air.

The Prince of Jin finally panicked: "What are you doing? Stop it! I am the Prince of Jin, how dare you lay a hand on me?"

Zuan looked at the sickly pale boy in front of him with an unusually calm expression.

Zhao Hao killed himself, so why would he be afraid of his little brat?

No wonder Zhao Hao instinctively disliked me the moment he saw me, and I instinctively disliked him too. It turns out it's because of the grudges from the previous dynasty. We are indeed destined enemies.

Seeing that he remained silent, Prince Jin's face flashed a cold smile: "Now you know fear? Quickly put me down. There are so many people watching, and people from other families are in the distance. Do you really dare to kill me?"

"Tie your hands, kneel down and kowtow three times to apologize to me, and I may consider letting today's matter go."

Meanwhile, onlookers from other families in the distance were secretly discussing: "The Zu family is in a dilemma now. Do you think he'll kneel down and admit his mistake?"

"How could that be? He's a favorite of the Crown Prince, a marquis, and supposedly has connections with the demon race. How could he possibly kneel and kowtow?"

“That’s true. I think he’ll most likely release the Prince of Jin, and at most kill his guards to vent his anger. That way, both sides can save face.”

"However, that would mean the two sides would be locked in a life-or-death struggle. Given the Prince of Jin's temperament, he would never let it go easily. If he were to gather the strength of more families to launch an attack, the Zu family would be in trouble."

“The Zu family has been protecting a wanted criminal, and today they even killed Elder Shen, a subordinate of the Prince of Jin. They’ve been in trouble for a long time.”

...

At this moment, Zu'an on the other side slightly turned his head to look at the Prince of Jin and muttered to himself, "I originally thought that Zhao Ruizhi was stupid enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more stupid than him. At least he knows how to be afraid of me."

"How dare you utter such treasonous words!" The Prince of Jin glared at him.

Anger points from Zhao Ruiyong: +288 +288 +288...

For some reason, he felt a vague unease.

"Outrageous!" Seeing the other party's arrogant and domineering face even in this situation, Zu An thought of the tragic deaths of his relatives in the previous dynasty's royal family. He walked directly to his side and whispered in his ear, "Didn't you always want to avenge your father? I'll let you die knowing why. I'm the one who killed Zhao Hao."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruiyong's pupils constricted instantly. Just as he was about to shout, a tremendous force came from his neck.

Click!

His neck lolled to the side, and his eyes nearly popped out, as if he couldn't understand how the other person dared to kill him, even in death.
