Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Kneel before your fucking mother!"

Xiao Yi's body surged with blood, a thick layer of blood mist covering him.

His entire frame radiated a profoundly potent blood qi, the very essence of the Blood Explosion Skill, which burnt up fifty percent of his fresh blood to boost his power fivefold.

"Hmm?"

Xue Mantian couldn't help but straighten his posture, his eyebrows sharp like swords twitched lightly, his expression amused, "Burning qi-blood to enhance strength in such a short time? This increase is stronger than my Xue Yilou's 'Blood Demon Great Skill'? An interesting little fellow!"

He remained lazily leaned against the palanquin.

With his status as the ninth floor master of Xue Yilou, not even the rulers of the hundred subordinate countries under the Great Qian Dynasty could make him take notice.

If Xue Mantian wasn't just passing through Tianqing Kingdom, he would not have made a move himself.

"It's rare to come across such an interesting little fellow..."

Xue Mantian's face was full of amusement as he looked on as if watching a jumping clown, and with a light flick of his finger said, "Number Four, go play with him!"

"Yes, Master!"

Among the four Winged Demon Tigers, the one at the end, capable of human speech, broke free from its shackles.

With a flap of its wings, it soared towards Xiao Yi.

The other three Winged Demon Tigers looked at each other, envy in their eyes: "Master indeed favors Number Four more; such a tasty little fellow is a treat for him!"

"Don't worry, Number Four won't enjoy him all by himself; he'll at least leave us a leg each!"

Xue Mantian leaned back on the palanquin, spoke calmly and deliberately, "Don't rush... Xiao Yi's wife and his brothers are still here, aren't they? Even if we can't eat Xiao Yi, eating them is also possible!"

"Master is wise!"

The three Winged Demon Tigers said in unison.

Meanwhile...

Number Four had already flown in front of Xiao Yi, its giant paw swiping down at him.

Once mature, a Winged Demon Tiger is a fifth-order high-level beast, comparable to the peak of the Golden Core Realm. These four Winged Demon Tigers, nurtured by Xue Mantian, had grown into sixth-order beasts. Their combat strength matched the Tao Tribulation Realm, and Number Four's power was about equal to a fighter at the Second Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm.

The tiger paw tore through the sky, borrowing the world's power, drawing gusts of fierce wind.

The howling wind swirled about.

In an instant...

It came crashing down towards Xiao Yi's head.

Xiao Yi's body glowed with blood; even before using the Blood Explosion Skill, he could match a fighter from the Tao Tribulation Realm. Now, with five times the speed and strength, he was comparable to someone in the Third Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm.

"Nine Swords as One!"

The Fire Qilin Sword burst into fiery light, a crimson sword beam sweeping across the incoming storm.

With a thunderous boom,

The storm shattered explosively.

"Vajra Subdues Demons!"

With a heavy punch, he struck down at Number Four, who reacted very quickly, twisting its body, and its tail swept at Xiao Yi.

There's an old saying that one must never touch a tiger's butt!

And it was precisely because of this tail!

As the tiger's tail swept over, its force was akin to a dragon's tail lash.

Thud!

His iron fist landed heavily on the tiger's tail.

The savage force nearly swept Xiao Yi away, but in the moment he was about to be thrown off, he reached out with an open hand and snatched the oncoming tail, while the Fire Qilin Sword sliced upward from below.

Spurt!

In a flash of blood, Number Four's tail was severed.

Howl...

Number Four let out a miserable cry.

Losing its balance due to the loss of its tail, it staggered, and Xiao Yi seized the opportunity. The Fire Qilin Sword stabbed towards the exposed rear of the tiger.

"How dare you… Stop!" Xue Mantian on the palanquin showed his true concern for the first time, his face murderous, bellowing with sky-shaking rage.

"Stop your fucking grandfather..."

Xiao Yi snorted coldly, his longsword not hesitating for a moment!

Spurt!

Amidst the sound of flesh and blood churning, Xiao Yi's Fire Qilin Sword pierced into Number Four's rear, and a mass of minced flesh and innards sprayed out from its mouth.

Boom!

The massive body of the Winged Demon Tiger dropped to the ground. Explore more adventures at empire

The Winged Demon Tiger, a match for the Tao Tribulation Realm, thus died by the blade of Xiao Yi.

"Evil beast, didn't you hear me when I told you to stop?" Xue Mantian roared ferociously, his heart bleeding inside. To nurture these four Tao Tribulation Realm Winged Demon Tigers, he had spent untold resources, raising them from the time they couldn't even open their eyes. Xue Mantian had no children, so he considered these four Winged Demon Tigers as his own kin!

But now...

The beloved youngest, the one he cherished most, had actually died at the hands of Xiao Yi, whom he had never taken seriously.

"Youngest brother..."

"Master, let us tear that little bastard apart..."

The three Sky Demon Tigers twisted their bodies in madness, emitting wave after wave of earth-shaking roars.

Xue Mantian's face darkened, "Kill him for me!"

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

The three Sky Demon Tigers broke free from their shackles and lunged at Xiao Yi.

These were three beings of the Tao Tribulation Realm!

Especially the largest Sky Demon Tiger, which was comparable to a sixth-order high-level demon beast at the Seventh Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm. Facing the onslaught of the three Sky Demon Tigers, even Xiao Yi, who had burned fifty percent of his blood, was forced to retreat step by step.

Claws and fangs left ferocious wounds all over his body.

Blood covered his entire body.

"Tear him to shreds!"

"Avenge our youngest brother!"

The eyes of the three Sky Demon Tigers gleamed coldly as they encircled Xiao Yi, watching him with covetous eyes.

"Dean... please let me go, I want to help Xiao Yi..." Fang Qingzhu cried with stubborn tears streaming down her face.

Gu Junhe took a deep breath and said firmly, "Enough, I'll go!"

Whoosh!

Gu Junhe flashed by and landed in front of Xiao Yi.

"Dean..." Xiao Yi blinked in surprise.

"You are a disciple of the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy, and I, as the dean, cannot stand idly by and watch you be bullied," he said.

Gu Junhe squinted at Xue Mantian and declared loudly, "Tianqi Martial Arts Academy Dean Gu Junhe, I request to fight!"

Xue Mantian's face was indifferent as he waved his hand dismissively, "Kill!"

From beginning to end.

He never spared Gu Junhe a glance for a moment, for to him, anyone below the Dharma Manifestation Realm simply wasn't worth noticing.

"Jiang Tai, the seventh prince of the Tianqing Kingdom, requests to do battle!"

Jiang Tai leaped into the air, standing shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Yi.

"Damn it, I can't just watch this anymore!"

"Is the Dharma Manifestation Realm so great? Are you saying that my Tianqing Kingdom has no one else?"

"Brothers, let's go together and show them that the Tianqing Kingdom has no cowards..."

One by one, the strong warriors came forward.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In no time at all.

More than a thousand people had already gathered around Xiao Yi, many of whom had come just for the spectacle, but now all stood by Xiao Yi's side.

It was because in their hearts, Xiao Yi was one of them, a person of the Tianqing Kingdom.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amidst the thunderous noise, a black cavalry, like a steel torrent, came swarming in. Leading them was Li Qing, "The Black Dragon Cavalry of the Tianqing Kingdom, requesting to join the battle!"

In the void.

Several figures stepped through the air.

At the forefront stood a man in a yellow robe with his hands behind his back, Jiang Tianchen. He wore a purple crown and was expressionless, "Xiao Yi is our National Protection Martial King of the Tianqing Kingdom. The Tianqing Kingdom stands or falls with him! Whoever wishes to harm him, the Tianqing Kingdom will fight to the last, even if it means bringing the country to its knees!"

Xiao Yi watched as more and more powerful people gathered by his side.

His blood boiled inside him.

This feeling was unprecedented.

Before this...

He felt no sense of belonging to the Tianqing Kingdom, but now, as countless citizens of the Tianqing Kingdom, the Black Dragon Army, the Tianqi Martial Arts Academy, and the royal presence represented by Jiang Tianchen all stood with him, he felt an unparalleled sense of emotion.

This was the sense of belonging!

This was home!

Whew!

Xiao Yi took a deep breath and with a loud exhalation, he raised his longsword to the sky, "Battle!"

The voices of the people around him merged into a torrent of sound, thundering in unison, "Battle!"

"Battle!"

Battle...
