Chapter 969: Victory or defeat, arrogant

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

What does Xiao Tianyao want to do?

Of course, it was too late!

The black stone was too small and would not be effective in a short period. He could only slowly delay the time. After all, active attacks consume too much energy. Only defending without attacking could reduce the loss of internal energy. Without absolute certainty that he can kill three people simultaneously, Xiao Tianyao would never take the initiative to attack.

Lin Chujiu couldn’t see anything before, but now that she heard someone talk about it and what she saw with her own eyes, she immediately understood Xiao Tianyao’s tactics. Her tense expression couldn’t help but soften a little.

Lin Chujiu’s movements were not obvious, just the most subtle changes, but……

The people watching the battle, apart from staring at Xiao Tianyao, were observing her expression. Seeing her gradually relaxing, they couldn’t help but frown, especially the Emperor.

Originally, he thought that by using these three people, he could kill Xiao Tianyao in a short time, but now it seems that he underestimated Xiao Tianyao. Judging from Lin Chujiu’s expression, it would not be easy to kill Xiao Tianyao today.

Thinking of this, the Emperor couldn’t help but look dissatisfied, but he quickly thought about it again.

Even if he can’t kill Xiao Tianyao now, he can kill him later. Can he fight one against three, but can he fight against five, six, or even ten?

There were indeed not many supreme martial gods in the Central Empire, and there were far fewer supreme martial gods who worked for the Emperor, but there were many martial gods in the Central Empire.

In recent years, many ordinary martial gods from the four countries came to the Central Empire. Later, he will use them to kill Xiao Tianyao.

Even ants can kill an elephant. The martial gods were indeed not the opponents of the supreme martial gods, but with the absolute numbers, it was hard to say. Not to mention, Xiao Tianyao was accompanied by Lin Chujiu, who does not know martial arts.

According to Xiao Tianyao’s concern for Lin Chujiu, as long as they capture Lin Chujiu, they won’t have to worry about Xiao Tianyao not bowing his head.

Thinking of this, the dissatisfaction in the Emperor’s heart dissipated, and he only stared at the ring to see when the winner would be decided out of these four people.

Yes, to determine the winner, not to decide life or death.

From the Emperor’s point of view, Xiao Tianyao’s life could not be saved if the Central Empire’s three supreme martial gods joined forces. Similarly, Xiao Tianyao could not do anything to the three supreme martial gods of the Central Empire. Otherwise, Xiao Tianyao would have taken action long ago, so why would he keep defending?

But……

The Emperor still overestimated himself and underestimated Xiao Tianyao. Just when he was patiently waiting for the winner to be decided, Xiao Tianyao took action!

After fighting for nearly an hour and a half, Xiao Tianyao, who had only been defensive but not offensive, finally took action.

*Swish* No one saw how Xiao Tianyao made his move. They only saw a flash of sword light, and the next second they saw an old man in gray clothes being thrown into the air, and then fell to the ground with a “thud”. The clothes on his body were not damaged, and he looked as if he was not injured, but blood continued to seep out of him.

“What, what is going on? Supreme Martial God Zhong is dead?” When the people watching under the ring saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded, and their eyes almost popped out.

They didn’t expect that the first person to fall was not Xiao Tianyao, but the Central Empire’s supreme martial god.

And this was just the beginning. As soon as Supreme Martial God Zhong fell, Xiao Tianyao stopped defending and started to attack strongly. The sword light kept emerging. There was one less person to restrain Xiao Tianyao. The remaining two were no match for Xiao Tianyao. Under Xiao Tianyao’s strength and pressure, the two kept retreating and could only defend as hard as they could, without any chance of attacking.

“Not good, Supreme Martial Yan and Supreme Martial God Cheng are no match to Prince Xiao.” People with sharp eyes could see it immediately. They even wanted to stop the battle.

No need to mention them, even the Emperor wanted to stop the battle, but… everything happened too fast. Xiao Tianyao’s speed was too fast. He attacks very quickly without giving anyone a chance to speak……

When his sword flew, by, the movements of Supreme Martial Yan and Supreme Martial God Cheng suddenly stopped. Then the two stood upright in the air, and they suddenly fell down after a moment.

“No…” People in the Central Empire worshiped the strong. However, they worshiped the strong in their own country. Seeing the death of three strong men in their own country at the hands of Xiao Tianyao, they had no respect for Xiao Tianyao, but only hostility!

This man was so arrogant!

“You…” The Emperor became angry and pointed at Xiao Tianyao, but could not say a word for a long time.

He was angry! He hated it!

He thought about thousands of possibilities, but he never thought that the three supreme martial gods he hired would die in Xiao Tianyao’s hands. This was very different from what he expected.

“Your Majesty, I win!” Xiao Tianyao didn’t take it seriously at all. He sheathed his sword, landed gracefully, and responded calmly.

“You, you…you are very good!” The Emperor promised that he wouldn’t care about the life-and-death battle. The Emperor originally intended this sentence to trick Xiao Tianyao, but he did not expect that he would be tricked by Xiao Tianyao instead.

“Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. Can I leave as agreed?” Xiao Tianyao’s expression remained unchanged as if he could not understand the Emperor’s ridicule and dissatisfaction.

“You were like this that day, killing three martial saints easily?” The Emperor pretended not to hear and asked with a forced smile.

“No, it was much harder than today. After all, I was not a Martial God back then.” Xiao Tianyao didn’t care at all what the people in the Central Empire thought. They were enemies.

“Okay, okay, what a young genius. Today, I have seen what it means to be a world-famous young genius. Back then, the seventh prince of the Shengyuan Dynasty was not as good as you.” The Emperor was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he couldn’t do it in front of many people. If he showed a little weakness, the Central Empire would lose face.

“Your Majesty, the seventh prince of the Shengyuan Dynasty died violently. I am indeed different from him.” The seventh prince of the Shengyuan Dynasty was the most outstanding young man at that time. He became a martial god at the age of eighteen. He was just around the corner to become a supreme martial god. But before he could achieve success, he died protecting the Shengyuan Dynasty.

Back then, how many people felt sorry for him? How many people shed tears for him? But no amount of regret could save his life. At this time, the Emperor mentioned the Seventh Prince of the Shengyuan Dynasty and compared Xiao Tianyao with him because he was warning him to be careful, and not to end up with the same fate as the Seventh Prince.

Young geniuses were not something to be feared. They only need to be killed before they grow up. No matter how talented they were, it was useless. Just like the Seventh Prince of the Shengyuan Dynasty back then, or Xiao Tianyao now.

Xiao Tianyao understood this truth, but he knew better than anyone that he was not like the Seventh Prince of the Shengyuan Dynasty. So it won’t be easy for the Emperor to kill him.

“Your Majesty, the outcome has been decided now. I have proven my strength. If there is nothing else, I will immediately set off back to the East.” Xiao Tianyao did not give the Emperor a chance to escape and once again reminded him that he would go back.

The Emperor originally wanted to test Xiao Tianyao again, but Xiao Tianyao repeatedly asked to leave. Thinking of his plan, the Emperor no longer kept Xiao Tianyao, and only said: “You won a big victory today. I should have served you a drink to celebrate, but since you insist on leaving, I will no longer keep you. If you have nothing to do in the future, you can come to the Central Empire to study, the Central Empire welcomes you at any time.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Xiao Tianyao was also polite. After clasping his hands to show respect, he turned around, walked towards Lin Chujiu, and held her hand in front of everyone: “Let’s go home!”

Yes, go home. No matter how good the Central Empire was, it was not their home. Their home was in the East… …
