Xiao Yang's voice rang with boundless authority.

Back on Blue Star, he'd been powerless, just another wage slave. But things were different now.

Since fate had given him a chance to cross into this era, he hadn't come here to swallow humiliation.

If he held back and retreated at every turn, how would he be any different from a cowardly turtle? He might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes!

My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven's!

If there's no road ahead, I'll carve one through with my blade!

"Impudent! How dare you show disrespect to Third Prince!"

A Blood Wolf Guard commander gripped his War Saber and charged.

"You're asking for death!"

Xiao Yang drew his saber and unleashed Thunder Prison World Destroying Saber. The blade flashed, leaving afterimages in the air.

"Swish!"

In the next instant, the commander's right arm—the one holding the saber—was hacked clean off, blood spraying everywhere.

"Ahhh!"

He let out a shrill, agonized scream.

"Oh no!"

"Wasn't this bastard only a Third-grade Martial Artist? How can he overcome someone stronger than him? Could he still have a trump card hidden away?"

"Stay alert! Don't let your guard down!"

The remaining Blood Wolf Guard commanders braced themselves for a fight.

"Stand down. I'll handle this!"

At that moment, Third Prince Xiao Li walked over, step by step, staring intently at Xiao Yang.

"Ninth Brother, I didn't expect to underestimate you after all! Your true strength must be close to that of a peak Fourth-grade Martial Artist, right? It's a pity you ran into me!"

"I'm a Fifth Grade Vajra Realm martial artist at the second stage, no weaker than Eldest Brother Xiao Junlin!"

"On top of that, I've trained in the Hong Alliance's ultimate art, Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield. I tempered my body with medicinal baths made from Thousand-year Flood Dragon Blood, and every day I endure three hours of blows from ten-thousand-jin blunt weapons!"

"I spent ten years in arduous cultivation and finally mastered this ultimate art. It's as strong and unyielding as can be, with no flaws!"

"Ninth Brother, aren't you so confident? Then why don't you fight me?"

"If you win, I'll not only let you go, I'll gladly help you claim the throne. How about it?"

"Your Highness, don't! Whatever you do, don't accept!"

Zhao Changkong hurriedly shouted.

He knew Third Prince's scheme. If Xiao Yang accepted, Third Prince would likely kill him.

Xiao Yang stood where he was, seeming silent, while secretly using the Break Delusion divine ability of his Invincible Twin Pupils.

Soon, lines of information appeared on the system panel.

[Target: Xiao Li] [Fifth Grade Vajra Realm, Greedy Wolf Devouring Moon fate] [Weakness: Though he has trained in Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield, his "gate" is the Guanyuan acupoint three inches below his navel. If struck, he will lose all his cultivation and become a cripple]

"Ninth Brother, what's wrong? Are you afraid?"

Seeing him stay silent for so long, Xiao Li deliberately provoked him.

"Heh!"

Xiao Yang only laughed.

With his weakness in hand, the world was his!

"Third Brother, I don't even need to draw my blade to beat you. One finger is enough!" Xiao Yang declared arrogantly.

His words sent an uproar through the crowd.

"What a joke! Has this kid gone mad?"

"A mere Third-grade Martial Artist dares to provoke a Fifth Grade expert?"

"He's on the verge of death, and he still has the nerve to run his mouth!"

The Blood Wolf Guard commanders thought Xiao Yang was dreaming.

"Ninth Brother, I take it you accept my challenge! Don't worry, I won't kill you outright. At most, I'll break all four of your limbs and leave you bedridden for the rest of your life!"

As he spoke, Third Prince Xiao Li strode forward and activated Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield.

Golden light blazed around him. He drew his War Saber and charged forward like a rampaging humanoid tyrannosaur.

"As expected of Third Prince!"

"With Fifth Grade cultivation and Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield, he's invincible among those of the same rank!"

"That kid's finished!"

The Blood Wolf Guard commanders wore cruel, bloodthirsty grins, certain that Xiao Yang would pay in blood at any moment.

Yet facing the oncoming saber, Xiao Yang neither dodged nor retreated. Instead, he casually pointed with one finger.

Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger!

This was an Emperor Grade combat art he had learned—the Martial Ancestor's ultimate technique.

A single finger could topple mountains and shake peaks, unleashing a terrifying force of over ten thousand jin, comparable to a peak strike from a Fourth-grade Martial Artist.

"Crack! Crack! Crack..."

In the next instant, Xiao Yang's finger struck the War Saber. The weapon shattered into pieces.

"How is that possible?!"

Xiao Li's expression changed dramatically. A sense of impending doom struck him, and he instinctively tried to dodge.

But the finger kept coming. At an extremely tricky angle, it struck the Guanyuan acupoint three inches below his navel.

"Bang!"

Xiao Li's entire body shuddered, his face ashen.

He flew backward and collapsed limply to the ground, as if all his vitality and spirit had been drained away.

"Your Highness?"

"Commander, are you all right?"

The Blood Wolf Guard commanders rushed over and surrounded Xiao Li, unable to believe what had just happened.

After all, Xiao Li was a fearsome figure in the army, renowned for his strength and ruthlessness. He had already achieved the Thousand Man Kill feat.

No one could have imagined Xiao Yang would defeat him with a single finger.

"Pfft!"

Xiao Li suddenly spat out blood again, his aura collapsing in an instant. He glared at Xiao Yang.

"You... how did you know where my weakness was?"

"You bastard! You crippled my cultivation! You deserve to die!"

"Roar! I'll never let you get away with this!"

His furious roars were filled with overwhelming rage and resentment.

Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield was certainly powerful, but it had one fatal weakness: once its gate was struck, all of the practitioner's cultivation would be ruined.

How could Xiao Li not be enraged by such a deep grudge?

But to Xiao Yang, his furious howls sounded like a stray dog barking helplessly by the roadside.

"Third Brother, you were the one who wouldn't let this go and insisted on fighting me!"

"Besides, I never expected you to be so weak!"

"If I were you, I'd find a block of tofu and bash my head in!"

Xiao Yang spoke coldly.

He had only used Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger just now. He still hadn't used his other techniques, such as Thunder Prison World Destroying Saber...

"You... you bastard, you're nothing but an illegitimate brat from god knows where, and you dare insult me?!"

Xiao Li was utterly humiliated. He spat out another mouthful of blood, so furious he nearly passed out.

Bastard?

A cold glint flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes. He raised his hand and slapped Xiao Li.

"Smack!"

Xiao Li's face was covered in blood, and several teeth flew out.

"Third Brother, I showed mercy with that slap. If you dare use that word again, I'll snap your neck!"

"Guard Zhao, Huangli, let's go!"

Then Xiao Yang grabbed the Cloud Piercing Bow and strode toward the exit.

The Blood Wolf Guard commanders glared at him, but none dared to stop him.

What a joke.

Even Xiao Li, a Fifth Grade martial artist, had lost in a single move.

Even if they all attacked together, they probably wouldn't be enough to give Xiao Yang a decent fight!

In everyone's eyes, Xiao Yang was unfathomably powerful, hiding his strength and luring others into underestimating him. No one dared challenge him.

Only after Xiao Yang and the other two had left Tianxiang Pavilion did everyone there finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"He crippled my cultivation and took my precious bow..."

"This humiliation is intolerable! I'll never let it go!"

Xiao Li ground his teeth, his eyes filled with an all-consuming hatred.

"Get me back to the prince's residence! I'm going to beat the Dengwen Drum and complain to Father King!!!"
