The scattered dust of corpses lingered around the main hall.
The silence of the people and the oppressive atmosphere all point to a prelude to things spiraling out of control.
No one, including Liang Hao, expected that Shen Zhao would actually dare to kill someone in front of Empress Mu Qiuyao.
They've gone mad, completely mad.
"Shen Zhao!!! Ah!!!"
After a brief silence, Ning Ruoxue let out a shrill roar.
"You dare to harm my beloved disciple!"
Shen Zhao, however, remained calm, his eyes slightly closed, his expression solemn, and his hands behind his back proclaiming to the world that his act of putting on a show was a great success.
"Ruthless and cunning, guilty of countless crimes, such a scourge deserves to be punished by heaven and earth!"
Hearing Shen Zhao's powerful and stirring voice, Ning Ruoxue was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
Realizing what was happening, Mu Qiuyao immediately shouted, "Do you really dare to kill someone in front of me?"
"The Court of Justice enforces the law; why should it be concerned with anyone's feelings? Since the Empress has been protecting the villains and acting unjustly, the Court of Justice has the right to set things right and eliminate heretics!"
"Very well, brat, you are the first person in the two thousand years since I became emperor to be so arrogant. If I let you run wild today, what face will my Northern Region Empress have left!"
Ning Ruoxue shouted, "Why is Your Majesty talking nonsense with him? How dare you cause trouble in my Heavenly Annihilation Holy Land! Shen Zhao, you must die!"
Suddenly, she leaped towards Shen Zhao.
"Pay back my beloved disciple's life!"
In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled, and the wind and clouds changed color.
Ning Ruoxue gathered spiritual energy in her palm and charged straight at Chen Zhao.
Yu Xiyan immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Chen Zhao, be careful!"
The next moment, the innate Dao body within his body, along with the Ice Phoenix bloodline, instinctively activated.
"Um?"
This movement caused Mu Qiuyao, who was still considering whether to kill Shen Zhao, to suddenly light up her beautiful eyes.
"Ice Phoenix Bloodline! Innate Dao Body!"
Mu Qiuyao stood up decisively, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Great! This is truly a stroke of luck!"
As for Lü Baichuan, he was a useless nobody, and she didn't care about him at all.
Just as she was about to grab Yu Xiyan, she heard a scream.
Ning Ruoxue was actually thrown back to the chief's seat by the backlash.
His face was pale, his right arm was trembling, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Shen Zhao never expected that Ning Ruoxue would be so stupid as to want to fight him in close combat. Wasn't that just asking for a beating?
Fist against palm, the absolute power instantly made Ning Ruoxue experience what it meant to be completely defeated.
Ning Ruoxue's arm was broken from that punch.
Upon seeing this, Liang Hao immediately straightened his back and arrogantly said to the people around him, "See? This is my older brother. Even the sect leader of the Heavenly Annihilation Holy Land can't last a single round. Tell me, isn't he awesome?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xiaoting's sarcastic voice echoed: "Oh right, your older brother is really something, a barbarian who only knows how to hit women, he doesn't know how to be gentle with women at all, he's too shameless."
Liang Hao: "I advise you to stop being so sarcastic. Facts have proven that my older brother is a hundred times better than Ning Ruoxue."
"Yes, yes, so what if Sect Leader Ning, a delicate young lady, can't beat a grown man? Is that something to brag about?"
"A girl? Ning Ruoxue is five hundred years old, she's too old to be your great-grandmother, and you call her a girl?"
"How can you just blurt out a girl's age like that? Family, does anyone know? This guy is so disgusting, sob sob..."
"Pfft~"
Liang Hao was so angry that he vomited blood.
He finally understood that he couldn't possibly win a fight with a fairy-like girl no matter what he did.
"presumptuous!"
Mu Qiuyao gave a soft shout, angrily rebuking Shen Zhao.
"Very well, you've dared to provoke my authority like this, it seems you were prepared to force me to take action personally?"
“Lu Baichuan deserved to die. As the dignified Empress Xuantian, who rules the Northern Region, would she really go against justice for this scoundrel? If so, then the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty is nothing but a joke!”
"How dare you! You have humiliated our dynasty so severely! I will not let you off today!"
"So what if I'm the Empress? My actions are arbitrary and just, and the laws of heaven will surely prevail. I have never been afraid of you in the slightest!"
"Kid, you really deserve to die."
Suddenly, the sky and earth changed color, and Mu Qiuyao directly clapped her hands and slammed them towards Shen Zhao.
This battle is extraordinary!
Knowing how terrifying the cultivation level of an Emperor Realm cultivator was, Shen Zhao frowned deeply, not daring to underestimate him in the slightest. He channeled all his true energy into true essence and raised his palm to meet the attack.
But just as their palms met, Mu Qiuyao suddenly turned around and leaped over Shen Zhao's head, heading straight for Yu Xiyan.
"Um?"
Shen Zhao realized he had fallen for Mu Qiuyao's trick and immediately turned around to look.
Yu Xiyan was caught off guard by this turn of events. Sensing the impending crisis, her Ice Phoenix bloodline automatically erupted, and a spiritually formed ice phoenix roared to the sky, spreading its wings and swooping down on Mu Qiuyao.
Boom~
The surrounding air suddenly froze, chilling to the bone.
Yu Xiyan's face was pale as she suppressed the impact of the emperor's might and barely managed to block the attack.
Mu Qiuyao stood still, looking at Yu Xiyan with indifferent eyes.
"Your transformation into an Ice Phoenix, allowing you to withstand one of my palm strikes, is indeed remarkable. However, this is your limit. I will not allow you to grow any further."
"Your future ascension to the Emperor Realm will threaten the foundation of my Immortal Dynasty. I will take your innate Dao Body and Ice Phoenix Bloodline with you. Even with the protection of the God of War, you will not leave the Heavenly Annihilation Holy Land alive today."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiyan's expression changed drastically. Mu Qiuyao's words had a hidden meaning. Could it be that she, like herself and Luo Pianhong, had been reborn and returned?
"Hey, you dare to get distracted while dueling me? How big is your heart? How about I have a drink first, and we'll fight after you finish this match?"
Just then, Shen Zhao, holding a wine glass, let out a playful laugh, instantly attracting Mu Qiuyao's attention.
