William gave an order:
"Someone, go call Marlon over. Tell him the bride is ready!"
Marlon didn't need anyone to call him. He walked in from outside the hall on his own.
The reason he had willingly become one of William's generals and helped him overthrow the king was Vanessa!
He had been secretly in love with Vanessa for years and had always wanted to marry her.
What infuriated him was that the old king had chosen someone other than him as Vanessa's husband!
In a fit of rage, he urged William to carry out the plan to kill Byronvis ahead of schedule, then personally killed the man the old king had chosen!
He then demanded that William let him marry Vanessa. William readily agreed!
For this day, he had no idea how long he had waited! He hadn't slept at all last night! This morning, he had done nothing but straighten his clothes!
Marlon walked to stand opposite Vanessa and gazed at her passionately.
Vanessa nearly threw up from disgust!
How shameless did someone have to be to marry another man's daughter after killing her father?
William smiled and said:
"This time, allow me to officiate the wedding for you two!"
"Upon the presence of the great ancestors of the merfolk, today a couple truly in love... May the ancestors bestow their blessings upon this couple!"
After reciting the traditional prayer, William swept his gaze across the audience.
"Does anyone object to this wedding?"
This question was merely a formality! How could anyone invited to the ceremony possibly object?
Those who objected were usually the ones who hadn't been invited!
A man's voice suddenly came from outside the imperial palace:
"I object!"
Chapter 53: Spirit Ball Shows Its Might Again!
"I object!"
William had never dreamed that anyone would object. He asked instinctively:
"Who? Who's objecting?"
"It's your daddy! I'm objecting! Because the groom is actually not me!"

[Here he comes! He made it in time!]
[This bastard William! He actually wants to force his own sister to marry someone she doesn't love!]
[An Xinghe always shows up at the most critical moments. Does he have to scare people like this every time?]
[It's good enough that he made it! Don't ask for more!]
[An Xinghe got to show off again!]
[This time, I'm absolutely siding with An Xinghe! Kill that William!]
[Is this a wedding snatching?!]
William looked at An Xinghe. When he saw that An Xinghe had legs instead of a fish tail, he cried out:
"You're human?!"
"So what if I'm human? Did I eat your family's rice?"
"Guards! Quickly! Guards! There's a human here! Kill him!"
The guards inside the imperial palace rushed over with a whoosh and surrounded him.
An Xinghe calmly pulled out the F2 Sniper Rifle with one hand and held Slit-Mouthed Woman's Scissors in the other. He sneered:
"Savages, come taste the power of technology!"
The F2 Sniper Rifle roared, bullets raining toward the guards.
The scissors in his other hand weren't idle either!
"Secret Technique: Swallow Counter!"
On one side were merfolk soldiers long unaccustomed to war. On the other was a demon who had fought tooth and nail in the horror game!
Even with their numerical advantage, the merfolk soldiers were torn open by An Xinghe, who relied on powerful skills and weapons!
He swam straight toward Vanessa!
However, a figure blocked his path between him and Vanessa. It was Marlon!
"What a human you are, daring to disturb my wedding with Vanessa! I'll make you atone with your life!"
The trident in Marlon's hand was no ordinary weapon. It was a Fine Grade weapon, and his Combat Power far surpassed that of ordinary soldiers. With the battlefield underwater, An Xinghe had no choice but to defend against his attack!
"Clang!"
The trident struck the scissors, producing a crisp collision!
Marlon raised his weapon again.
"Human boy, you've got some skill, but this is where it ends!"
Marlon launched a relentless assault with his weapon while saying to William:
"Your Majesty! I'll deal with this human. Take Vanessa and retreat first!"
An Xinghe's gaze sharpened. If William took Vanessa away, finding her again would be like searching for a needle in the ocean!
He simply threw away the scissors!
Seeing this, Marlon laughed loudly.
"Have you given up resisting? Then I'll send you on your way!"
Livestream.
[This merfolk doesn't look like much. How is his intelligence so low too?]
[An Xinghe isn't giving up. He's preparing to use his ultimate move!]
[Three seconds of silence for this merfolk!]
[Who knows if merfolk are edible?]
[You won't know whether they're edible until you take a bite.]
[Then for the issue of reproductive isolation, do we also have to...]
The viewers who knew An Xinghe's skills inside out knew that he had obtained an extremely powerful burst skill in the first instance!
He shaped his right hand like a gun and aimed it at Marlon's head.
"Spirit Ball! White Miracle Flash!"
In an instant, a massive ball of white energy shot from his fingertip. Half of Marlon's head vanished, as though someone had bitten into an ice cream bar.
"How... could... this... be..."
After using Spirit Ball to deal with Marlon, exhaustion instantly surged through An Xinghe.
Although Spirit Ball was incredibly powerful, its side effect was equally terrifying!
It would completely drain a person's stamina!
Fortunately, William froze in place after seeing Marlon's miserable condition.
He couldn't understand how Marlon, whose Combat Power was among the highest in the merfolk race, had been killed in a single blow!
An Xinghe seized the opportunity to grab Vanessa.
"Prince William, I'll be taking Vanessa!"
William flew into a rage and wanted to rush over and kill An Xinghe, but after recalling Marlon's miserable condition, he stopped himself.
But when he saw how weak An Xinghe looked, he immediately understood that the skill that had killed Marlon couldn't be used repeatedly! And its cost was extremely high!
He pointed at An Xinghe.
"Guards! Seize him! Whoever kills An Xinghe will be made a marquis and granted a title! I'll even give my sister to him in marriage!"
There would always be brave men beneath a lavish reward!
The extraordinarily generous prize made the guards' eyes turn red!
While this human was weakened, it was the perfect opportunity to kill him!
However, An Xinghe snapped his fingers, and Marlon, half his head blown away, actually staggered to his feet!
"Have you ever heard of taking advantage of the heat... Ahem! I mean, the Corpse Manipulation Technique?"
Chapter 54: I'm Talking Business with You Here!
Seeing Marlon stagger to his feet, William was practically scared into wetting himself!
Powerful enemies weren't frightening. What was frightening was an unknown enemy!
Why could Marlon still stand after half his head had been blasted away? Shouldn't an injury like that have killed him outright?
This had to be the human's doing!
"Human! I get it now! You're a dark wizard who takes pleasure in toying with corpses!"
An Xinghe said coldly, "A dark wizard? I'm not some pitiful existence who gets penetrated by the protagonist in every book! My name is..."
"An Xinghe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the merfolk guards An Xinghe had killed earlier all stood up! Together, they charged toward William!
William hurriedly shouted:
"Protect the emperor! Someone, protect the emperor!"
