Ning Chen smiled disdainfully. In his eyes, the left eye shone with the golden light of the sun, while the right eye shone with the clear light of the silver moon!
A mysterious and unpredictable force of Yin and Yang suddenly burst forth from his eyes, transforming into a visible black and white ray of light that rushed towards Liu Ruxue and Chu Yunxiao!
"Boom...!"
A deafening explosion rang out over the execution ground!
The violent aftershocks of spiritual energy swept wildly in all directions like a tsunami!
"puff!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Liu Ruxue and Chu Yunxiao coughed up blood and flew backward with a shrill scream, crashing heavily onto the ground dozens of meters away, smashing two deep, human-shaped craters into the hard bluestone slab!
The two struggled to get up, but then coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. Their breaths weakened to the extreme, clearly indicating that they were severely injured and had no strength left to fight!
"No...impossible...how could you be so strong?!"
Liu Ruxue's hair was disheveled, blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She never dreamed that in just one night, that good-for-nothing who was once completely at her mercy would grow to such a terrifying level!
One move!
With just one move, he severely injured both she and Chu Yunxiao, two experts at the Life and Death Realm!
Chu Yunxiao's reaction was similar. He struggled to raise his head and looked at Ning Chen with eyes full of resentment and venom!
"What...what on earth is going on?!"
"Her Highness the Ninth Princess and Young Master Chu... they both lost?! And lost so quickly and so completely?!"
"That Ning Chen... what kind of sorcery did he use?! It's terrifying!"
The onlookers below the stage were completely stunned and petrified.
Every face was filled with shock and disbelief a hundred times more intense than before!
[Ding! Strong shock detected from onlookers, Editing points +300!]
[...]
[Ding! Extreme fear and shock detected from Liu Ruxue. Editing points +1500!]
[Ding! Extreme resentment and shock detected from Chu Yunxiao. Editing points +1300!]
Ning Chen listened to the editing value in his mind surge again, nodded in satisfaction, and the corner of his mouth became even colder.
Just then!
"presumptuous!"
A furious roar, filled with supreme authority, rolled in from the distant horizon like a thunderclap!
Immediately afterwards, a majestic figure dressed in a nine-dragon imperial robe and wearing a purple-gold imperial crown descended from the sky, surrounded by dozens of powerful civil and military officials, and landed above the execution ground!
The person who arrived was none other than Liu Wudao, the current emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty!
"His Majesty!"
"Father!"
Upon seeing his son's miserable state, Prime Minister Chu Tianxiong's eyes widened in horror. He immediately flew forward, carefully helped Chu Yunxiao up, and hurriedly took out a precious healing pill from his storage ring and fed it to him.
Liu Ruxue also struggled to her feet. When she saw Liu Wudao appear, a look of joy immediately appeared on her pale and resentful face!
"Father! Father, you've finally arrived! This Ning Chen has gone mad! He not only defied the law and was executed in public, but he also injured your son and Chu Yunxiao! You must tear him to pieces and avenge your son!"
She pointed at Ning Chen and cried out in a hoarse voice, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Prime Minister Chu Tianxiong also bowed respectfully, and said with a mixture of grief and indignation, "Your Majesty! This scoundrel is extremely vicious and audacious! He dared to publicly defy imperial authority and seriously injure the Ninth Princess and my son! If he is not severely punished, how can the face of our Great Qian Dynasty be preserved?! I implore Your Majesty to make a divine judgment and immediately kill this scoundrel on the spot as a warning to others!"
Liu Wudao's face was ashen, and a cold killing intent flashed in his deep eyes.
He first glanced at Liu Ruxue and Chu Yunxiao's injuries, his brows furrowing slightly. Then, his gaze fell on Ning Chen.
"boom!"
A terrifying pressure belonging to a Dao Enlightenment Realm expert suddenly poured out from Liu Wudao's body, overwhelming Ning Chen like a tidal wave!
"Boy! How dare you! You openly defy execution within my capital and injure the princess and the son of a high-ranking official!"
"You are openly challenging the supreme authority of my Great Qian Dynasty! You are courting death!"
Liu Wudao's voice was icy cold!
Under this terrifying pressure, Ning Chen felt as if the air around him had solidified, and even breathing became difficult!
He knew in his heart that with his current cultivation level of the first level of the Spirit Realm, plus the trump card of the Ancient Double Pupil, he might be able to hold his own against an ordinary ninth-level Life and Death Realm expert.
But facing a genuine Dao Enlightenment Realm expert, he had absolutely no chance of winning, and not even a chance to escape!
"My dear old man! If you don't come soon, your precious son who just adopted you is really going to die here!"
Ning Chen screamed inwardly, but his face remained impassive, showing no fear whatsoever.
Just as Liu Wudao was about to raise his hand to suppress Ning Chen!
"Buzzing...!"
The void above the execution ground suddenly twisted violently without warning, creating visible ripples in space!
Immediately afterwards, a huge spatial rift was forcibly torn open by an invisible force!
The next instant, a vast, terrifying mass of figures emerged from the spatial rift like divine soldiers descending from the sky, instantly obscuring the entire sky above the execution ground!
Leading the group was a middle-aged man dressed in a black brocade robe, with a dignified face and an imposing aura!
He simply hovered there quietly, exuding an aura of dominance and supreme authority that made everyone present, including Emperor Liu Wudao of the Great Qian Dynasty, feel a chill run down their spines!
The middle-aged man's cold and sharp gaze slowly swept across the area below, finally settling on Ning Chen, a hint of excitement and tenderness flashing deep in his eyes.
Then, he spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but carrying an unparalleled domineering aura that clearly reached the ears of everyone present:
"I'll see...who dares to touch my son!"
