Chapter 2095: Thunderous Suppression
Chapter 2095: Thunderous Suppression
As he looked at the giant golden crow in the sky, Zu An was a bit surprised. There seemed to be demonic flames surging around the Second Prince, whose current state was comparable to that of the late Fiend Emperor. Zu An remembered how the Little Golden Peng King had also suddenly become stronger, as if the alien monsters had activated the ancient bloodline power within their bodies.
Could it be that the FIend races really are deeply related to those alien monsters?
When he saw Zu An stand there in a daze, the Second Prince felt really pleased with himself. He remarked, “You never expected this, did you? My strength is now already on par with father emperor's past peak. You must be feeling a lot of regret now, right?”
When he sensed the demonic power filling his body, he felt extremely confident. It was as if no one else could compare to him in this world. He was even starting to feel some regret. So power actually carried such a feeling! If he had known it would be like that, he would have used this power sooner. He even felt that with his current power, he could now easily win against the alien monsters even if they played some tricks.
Zu An was a bit confused, replying, “Why would I feel regret?”
“You must be regretting how arrogant and conceited you were when you spared me back in the King Court,” the Second Prince said, getting more and more excited. “But it's such a pity that you don’t have any chances left. I'll teach you that even after thirty years on the east bank of the river, and thirty years on the west bank, it's still unwise to underestimate the young...”
Before he even finished, a square seal flew at him. As it flew, it grew bigger and bigger. In the end, it crashed down right on top of him like a mountain. His body was struck until it plummeted from the sky, so the rest of his words were naturally cut off.
“Nonsense!” the Second Prince exclaimed furiously. He'd wanted to show off a bit, and yet he was knocked out of the sky by this thing.
So many soldiers are still watching! What about my dignity?
You have successfully trolled the Second Prince for +444 +444 +444...
He reflexively tried to fly into the air again, but unexpectedly, the seal was just too incredibly heavy. All of his muscles strained to the fullest, and yet the object pressing down on him only became heavier and heavier. The huge seal flowed with yellow light that came down in strand after strand. The surface flowed with a natural rhythm of the universe that surrounded the Second Prince. He tried to flap his wings several times, but underneath its weight, he was still completely helpless.
“Human Emperor Seal?” the Second Prince suddenly exclaimed in horror. The reason why he recognized this item was because he had watched one of the great battles between his father and the human emperor. In the past, the weapon the human emperor had used was none other than this seal.
In the past, Zhao Han’s invincible figure had left him with an indelible impression. After all, in his eyes, his father was like a deity, and yet even the Fiend Emperor had been at a disadvantage in that fight. This Human Emperor Seal was the main weapon used by Zhao Han back then, so the Second Prince couldn't help but have a deep impression of it.
The human soldiers also saw this scene. When they saw that huge seal that was surrounded by strands of dao rhythm, some generals recognized it. They excitedly shouted, “The Human Emperor Seal! It’s the Human Emperor Seal!”
In the hearts of the human race, the Human Emperor Seal was a divine item. To a certain degree, it represented a kind of faith, a kind of mental pillar.
However, while many people felt extremely excited, they were also a bit confused.
Wasn’t the Human Emperor Seal lost in the secret dungeon with the late emperor? Why is it with the regent?
Even when he saw the people's doubtful looks, Zu An didn’t bother to explain himself. He had kept this Human Emperor Seal hidden the entire time, and never used it precisely because he hadn’t wanted to be associated with Zhao Han’s death. But now that alien monsters were invading and the world had almost been destroyed, leaving his beloved Chuyan and Honglei both half-dead, he couldn't care less about such things anymore. Besides, even if some people suspected that he was connected to the death of Zhao Han, so what?
“You bastard, ahhhh!” the Second Prince cried, feeling incredibly wronged. He'd been knocked out of the sky as soon as he began to show off and was never able to break free. It really drove him crazy. He felt as if his present cultivation was already equal to that of the late Fiend Emperor, so why was he left in such a sorry state by a single Human Emperor Seal?
He couldn't figure it out, but Zu An knew why that was the case. The Human Emperor Seal carried the will of the people. Now that the alien monsters were destroyed and the world was preserved, the morale of the human race was flourishing. How could it be so easily endured?
Besides, the Second Prince’s cultivation had only suddenly shot up, so how could he adapt to his power, cultivation, and skills growing countless times stronger all of a sudden? Naturally, only his cultivation was about equal to that of the late Fiend Emperor. In a real fight, the late Fiend Emperor could have easily crushed him. Perhaps he wouldn't even be able to compare to the Little Golden Peng King, who had clearly already awakened his ancient bloodline long ago and frequently trained with it, getting used to his new power.
In the eyes of the current Zu An, the Second Prince was full of openings and mistakes. Thus, he didn’t give the prince any time to adjust or adapt and immediately crushed him.
A furious roar resounded. The Second Prince’s entire body surged with flames. He was actually able to forcibly resist the Human Emperor Seal and stand back up, saying, “Hmph, do you think that a trifling Human Emperor Seal could really trap me...”
His words came to a screeching halt, because a streak of sword radiance flashed, and a head fell to the ground. The headless Second Prince’s body fell down after it, and the Human Emperor Seal descended down with the will of the human race, crushing the prince's body into pieces.
“You really know how to shoot your mouth off,” Zu An said as he put away the sword.
The Second Prince had already had his body restricted by the Human Emperor Seal. If Zu An still couldn't take his life, he really would be beyond incompetent. After fighting against such terrifying beings as the Shadow Monster King and the Lord of Slaughter, fighting against the Second Prince was like fighting against a kindergartener.
The entire battlefield was so quiet one could hear a pin drop; all those present watched in disbelief.
The human soldiers hadn’t understood the Second Prince’s true strength fully. However, they had sensed that the terrifying aura coming out from his body was on par with that of Zhao Han and the late Fiend Emperor, so they had subconsciously put him in the same category. And yet, such a being was so easily dealt with by a single cut from the regent? Just how high was the regent’s cultivation?!
Many generals had been wondering if the regent participated in the death of the late emperor. After all, there were too many points of suspicion in Zhao Han's death, and he was the only person at the late emperor’s side when he passed. However, when they saw this scene, they all suppressed such idle speculation.
What late emperor or whatnot? All we need to do is follow the regent.
At first, King Liang’s trusted aides were still a bit upset, and many of them had been planning to coordinate with the other generals in the army and get revenge for King Liang. But when they saw that, they all busily sorted out their clothes.
We weren't really that close to King Liang to begin with, right? We’re just workers earning a few hundred silvers a month. Why would we risk our lives over something like that?
As for the Second Prince’s subordinates, they were left completely at a loss. Many of them even reflexively rubbed their eyes, wondering if their eyes were playing tricks on them. After all, the Second Prince was a famous general of the Fiend races. Over the years, he had led them to countless victories. Even in the sealed land, a place where they had been doomed to eventually die, he'd found a path of survival for them. They already treated him like their deity. On top of that, the cultivation they had just witnessed had made them feel as if they were looking at the late Fiend Emperor.
And yet, after just a single sword slash, it was all finished?
All of them had been holding onto a single belief. As long as the Second Prince returned to the King Court and became the Fiend Emperor, they would no longer be traitors and would instead become subjects with incredible merit. However, as the Second Prince had been killed instantly, all of them completely collapsed as well. No one needed to take the lead; they all fled for their lives.
The human soldiers wanted to chase after them, but they didn’t understand the terrain too well. There were too many Fiend race soldiers, as well, so they weren't confident that they would be able to catch the lot.
Zu An’s voice echoed across the sky as he called out, “All those who followed the Second Prince can choose to drop your weapons and surrender to be put on trial by the King Court. All others will be executed on the spot.”
Some Fiend soldiers couldn't help but hesitate when they heard that. However, others continued to run without any hesitation.
Are you kidding me? We're the direct followers of the Second Prince. If we're tried by the court, we’re dead for sure, so we might as well take the gamble here! That way, we’ll at least still have a chance.
There are so many people here, after all, and the terrain is so complicated. No matter how strong that Zu An is, how many can he catch?
Just then, there was a huge explosion. Winds stirred throughout the forest, so powerful that many people couldn't even keep their eyes open. Countless metal birds with spinning heads appeared in midair. Their bellies suddenly released countless tongues of flame. All of the soldiers that had continued to run without listening were blown to pieces.
There were many among them that had high cultivation and reflexively wanted to retaliate, but unfortunately, they were already overcome by fear and panic, so they couldn't fight together in a coordinated manner. How could they be a match for armed helicopters?
Soon after, the fleeing soldiers were mowed down like grass. After a short while, there wasn’t a single one left standing. However, the ones who had remained in place and listened to Zu An kept their lives. All of their faces were deathly pale, and they were overwhelmed with gratitude for their earlier choice.
“From now on, the human army will be led by the Qin brothers and will assist the Bluefield Country Lord in capturing these rebel army soldiers. They will be escorted back to the court and be handled by the Second Empress," Zu An said.
Even though the Qin brothers were still young and didn’t have enough qualifications, no one said a single word of criticism against this order.
Meanwhile, Xie Xiu had just supported the Qin brothers back. They saw what had just happened, and glanced at the young women, whose eyes were practically about to turn heart-shaped.
Dammit! This is something I dream about happening to me... when will I be able to show off like this?
