C4698 Those Who Defy Me Shall Die!
“Old Seventh, what did you do? Quickly tell me, where is my son Li Huang?”
The Seventh Prince’s eyes flickered with a cold light as he said, “At the moment that Third Brother appeared, Li Huang should have already been killed by my subordinates.”
“You…” King Duan’s eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted.
His legs went weak as he sat on the ground, and he felt a sense of despair. His heart was like dead ashes.
He glared fiercely at the Seventh Prince, and he never expected that the Seventh Prince would actually be so ruthless. Anyone who didn’t comply with him would suffer his vicious hands. It was truly too vicious.
If such a person were to really become the Divine Emperor, King Duan and the others would definitely be in great danger.
The Third Prince’s eyes narrowed, and he felt a wave of coldness in his heart. The Seventh Prince had such a heavy killing intent, and he had such a brutal personality. If he were to become the Divine Emperor, his life would probably be in danger.
“Hmph, Old Seventh, have you really killed Li Huang?”
The Third Prince was slightly unwilling as he asked once again.
The Seventh Prince laughed loudly and said in an extremely arrogant manner, “Yes, he’s dead for sure. What I said, why are you so kindhearted and want to be a good person? Haha, laughable to this day, it was you who caused Li Huang’s death. If it wasn’t for Uncle King Duan who informed you, I wouldn’t have been so ruthless the next time. Right, Uncle King Duan?”
The Seventh Prince's words were vicious and full of nonsense.
When the Third Prince heard this, he was so angry that his face turned green. "Seventh Brother, this is an unorthodox method. You will suffer retribution. Stop it now. It's not too late."
"Stop it? Haha, it's too late. I'm already unable to return."
The Seventh Prince laughed maniacally, as though he was a madman. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked as though he was about to go crazy. His expression was extremely terrifying.
For a moment, even the Third Prince could not help but take a step back when he saw this.
What did the Seventh Prince experience that caused his personality to change so greatly? He was so vicious and despicable.
For a moment, the Seventh Prince was filled with a myriad of emotions, and he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
"Younger son, my son, you died so tragically. It's all my fault. I caused you to die so miserably. Sigh~"
The Duke of the Three Palaces lay on the ground and cried out involuntarily.
He still liked his son Li Huang very much, especially after Li Yao's death. He had placed all his hopes on Li Huang.
But now that Li Huang had died, he had also fallen into despair.
The Third Prince stepped forward and pulled the Duke of the Three Palaces up. He glared at the Seventh Prince and said fiercely, "Uncle Duke of the Three Palaces, don't give up on yourself. The one who caused Li Huang's death was Seventh Brother, not you. There's no need for you to blame yourself like this."
“I…”
Duke Duan was speechless, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.
How could he not know this logic? It was precisely because he knew it that he felt even more despair.
Because the person who harmed Li Huang was the Seventh Prince, he could not take revenge at all. If it were anyone else, even if he were to go bankrupt and risk his life, he would still have to take revenge.
But the other party was the Seventh Prince, he could not.
The Seventh Prince laughed, “Those who obey me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish. Third brother, are you really going to go against me to the end?”
The Third Prince’s face was sinister as he said, “I’m borrowing your words, I have no way out.”
He was very clear that the Seventh Prince had gone completely mad. He was cruel and bloodthirsty, unscrupulous, and had the backing of Yi Tianren and Li Zhan. If he were to lose in this battle for the throne, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At that time, he would not even have a way to live.
Therefore, he had to fight with all his might this time.
Hearing this, the Seventh Prince laughed coldly, “Third brother, I will remember this.”
“Hmph.” Standing by the side, Lu Wandao snorted coldly, showing disdain towards the Third Prince.
He knew that Yi Tianren had already joined forces with Li Zhan. One in the open and one in the dark, their forces were huge and deeply rooted. The Third Prince could not stir up any trouble at all.
But at this moment, a black shadow rushed over. It was Yi Tianren. He was in a sorry state, and his eyes were filled with panic as he looked up at the sky.
The Seventh Prince saw this and quickly went up to him, "Elder Yi, what is the result?"
"..." Yi Tianren's face darkened, and he remained silent, his face full of fear.
He did not expect that Chen Xiao's strength would improve so quickly, and he had already become a big shot. If he was alone, he would not be able to defeat him, let alone kill him.
Seeing this, the Seventh Prince's heart skipped a beat.
Was he losing? That Chen Xiao's strength was actually so terrifying? Even Yi Tianren was not his match. Damn it, if he had known this would happen, he would have attacked earlier and killed him.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.
"This is?" Lu Wannao was also shocked, and he looked at Yi Tianren in disbelief. He took a deep breath.
Immediately, he had a new understanding of Chen Xiao's strength.
This kid's strength was astonishing, and he was a great threat. He had to be eliminated.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Seventh Prince tried to mediate, and said with an indifferent face, "So it was a draw. It seems that the Purple Cloud City's Chen Xiao is only so-so."
"You..." The Third Prince was so angry that he laughed and pointed at the other party.
At this time, a strong palm pressed on the Third Prince's shoulder, stopping his impulsive action.
It was Chen Xiao.
"Brother Chen Xiao." The Third Prince turned around and said with great joy.
Chen Xiao's face was calm and carefree. He was different from Yi Tianren's embarrassment and panic, but he was much calmer.
When the Third Prince saw this, he suddenly realized that in this battle, Chen Xiao had the upper hand. On the other hand, Yi Tianren had suffered a small loss. The Seventh Prince was clearly looking for a way to strengthen his courage.
Thinking of this, he was greatly reassured.
"Brother Chen Xiao, are you alright?" The Third Prince asked with concern.
Chen Xiao shook his head, "I'm fine, but the one who is in trouble is someone else."
"Hmph." Yi Tianren heard this and snorted, but he did not refute and said nothing.
Seeing this, the Seventh Prince's face instantly darkened. He glared at the Third Prince, then looked at Chen Xiao.
"Sir Chen Xiao, what a powerful ability."
"It's just average," Chen Xiao said expressionlessly.
The Seventh Prince continued, "Sir Chen Xiao, with your powerful ability, why would you be with such a useless person? If you are willing to draw a clear line with my Third Brother and help me, then in the future, you will also have a part of the Peerless Dynasty's credit. How about it?"
"This..." When the Third Prince heard this, he immediately became nervous.
He didn't expect that the Seventh Prince would be so straightforward and dare to talk to Chen Xiao in front of him.
The Third Prince stared at Chen Xiao nervously, not even daring to make a sound.
Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Do you think it's possible?"
As he spoke, his eyes drifted towards Yi Tianren. With the enmity between him and Yi Tianren, it was almost impossible for them to reconcile.
Therefore, the Seventh Prince's words were not true. He was just using this opportunity to break the relationship between him and the Third Prince. It could be said to be vicious.
"Hu ~"
The Third Prince heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud, "You are still so loyal. Chen Xiao, well then, we will meet again soon."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Yes."
