Then, Xue Beng gave a light wave of his hand and directly ordered:

"Surround them!"

At Xue Beng's command, the guards behind him all stepped forward.

Before long, Xue Tianmo and the other two were surrounded by a ring of guards.

"Hmm?"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression darkened, her face turning unpleasant as she went fully on guard.

Ice Empress merely watched with an indifferent expression, not taking any of this seriously.

Xue Tianmo narrowed his eyes, his expression remaining unchanged.

He had already learned from the surrounding passersby that this extravagantly dressed young man before him was Xue Beng, the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Others might not know Xue Beng, but Xue Tianmo knew him all too well.

After Qian Renxue poisoned the Second Prince and Third Prince of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family,

Xue Ye ordered Prince Xue Xing to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Following the clues, Prince Xue Xing discovered that the poison that had killed the two princes was exactly the same.

Alarmed, he realized that the greatest beneficiary of the two princes' deaths was First Prince Xue Qinghe.

Unfortunately, Prince Xue Xing had no concrete evidence in hand.

So, he sought out Fourth Prince Xue Beng and personally taught him how to stay alive.

From then on, Xue Beng pretended to be a carefree, dissolute wastrel.

His conduct was arrogant and overbearing, utterly dismissive of everyone around him—a typical spoiled royal playboy.

His purpose was to make First Prince Xue Qinghe believe that he was an incompetent prince.

That way, he would pose no threat to the throne.

It was precisely because of this that Xue Beng had managed to keep his life.

Xue Tianmo had never expected that just after bringing Ice Empress and Zhu Zhuqing into Heaven Dou Imperial City, he would run into Fourth Prince Xue Beng.

Just as Xue Tianmo was lost in thought,

Xue Beng strode forward arrogantly.

He directly ignored Xue Tianmo, his gaze roaming back and forth over Ice Empress and Zhu Zhuqing.

In the end, Xue Beng's eyes settled on Ice Empress.

"This little girl is quite pretty!"

"Come serve this prince from now on!"

"I guarantee you'll never lack food or clothing!"

Hearing Xue Beng's lewd remarks, Ice Empress wore a rather strange expression.

"Little girl?"

She was secretly taken aback. Her true form was the four-hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, ranked second among the Three Great Kings of the Extreme North!

Yet Xue Beng had called her a little girl.

One had to know that she normally referred to herself as "this old lady."

When Zhu Zhuqing saw Xue Beng daring to speak so disrespectfully to Ice Empress, a strange glint flashed through her eyes.

Earlier, Ice Empress had displayed her strength and beaten even Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, into using Ring Detonation to escape.

And Xue Beng actually dared to flirt with Ice Empress?

Though he was a prince of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family,

before Ice Empress, let alone a prince, even the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Family was beneath her notice.

After all, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family itself did not possess a Titled Douluo-level expert.

He truly doesn't know the meaning of death!

After giving it some thought, Zhu Zhuqing secretly sighed. She had already foreseen that Xue Beng had kicked an iron plate this time.

"Hmm?"

At the same time, Xue Tianmo's expression instantly darkened upon hearing Xue Beng flirt with Ice Empress.

Although Ice Empress' strength was there for all to see and she had no reason to fear Xue Beng,

she had raised him since childhood, and his feelings for her ran deep.

Seeing Xue Beng speak so frivolously, the fury in his heart was immediately ignited.

The next moment, Xue Tianmo frowned sharply and looked at Xue Beng. "What did you say?"

"Heh heh!"

Seeing that Xue Tianmo seemed intent on standing up for Ice Empress, Xue Beng sneered and said arrogantly:

"What? You want to play the hero and save the beauty?"

"Why don't you weigh yourself first and see what you're worth?"

"Didn't hear me clearly? Then this prince will say it again."

At this point, Xue Beng paused, then raised a hand to point at Ice Empress before continuing:

"I said that she will serve this prince from now on."

"As long as she serves me well, this prince will naturally give her plenty of rewards whenever I'm pleased."

"Tonight, she can start by being my bedwarming maid!"

Xue Beng was incomparably brazen, not taking Xue Tianmo seriously at all.

In his eyes, he was the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

What could an unknown nobody like Xue Tianmo possibly do to him?

Hearing those words, Xue Tianmo flew into a rage.

"Boom!"

The next moment, he threw his arms wide, and a violent aura of Soul Power erupted from him.

Sensing the level of that Soul Power, the surrounding spectators were all shocked pale.

"This..."

"A Soul Emperor?"

"Damn! He's so young, yet he already has such strength!"

"What a pity, though. This time, he's run into Prince Xue Beng!"

"..."

The crowd whispered in amazement.

Though Xue Tianmo's strength had impressed them,

the one he faced was Xue Beng, the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

As the saying went, commoners did not fight officials.

In their eyes, Xue Tianmo would not dare lay a hand on Xue Beng.

"Oh?"

Xue Beng was slightly startled as well. He had not expected Xue Tianmo, who looked to be around his own age, to possess the strength of a Soul Emperor.

After another thought, however, he quickly returned to normal and said dismissively:

"What? Do you think you can run wild just because you have the strength of a Soul Emperor?"

"Brat, this is Heaven Dou Imperial City!"

"And I am a prince of the imperial family."

"How about this? You're fairly strong, so follow this prince from now on and be a dog at my command!"

As soon as Xue Beng's words left his mouth, the rage in Xue Tianmo's heart was completely ignited!

"You're courting death!!"

Before his words had even faded, he attacked without hesitation.

"Boom!"

As his Soul Power condensed, a glinting Ice Sword appeared in his hand.

The next instant, Xue Tianmo slashed out sharply.

Cold light flashed, carrying terrifying might as the Ice Seal sword force shot straight toward Xue Beng!

"Ah?"

Xue Beng was startled. He had never expected Xue Tianmo to be so bold as to actually attack him, a prince.

Fortunately, just as the Ice Seal sword force came hurtling toward him, a guard rushed forward to meet it.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a thunderous blast, the guard who had charged forward was instantly frozen beneath Xue Tianmo's Ice Sword.

Then, with an explosive crack, the frozen guard's body shattered into countless chunks of ice.

"Insolent madman!"

"You dare attack a prince!"

"Take him down!"

At that moment, the lead guard roared furiously.

Immediately afterward, the other guards surrounding them all charged at Xue Tianmo to kill him.

Xue Tianmo paid them no mind. The corners of his lips lifted into a faint, cold smile.

Then, with a tap of his foot, his body soared into the air as he spun swiftly once.

At the same time, the Ice Sword in his hand swept out arcs of sword light!

"Bang, bang..."

The chilling sword lights surged outward like rippling waves.

When everyone looked again, the many guards who had charged at Xue Tianmo had all been cut down.

"Gulp..."

Seeing this, Xue Beng could not stop himself from swallowing hard, his mind buzzing.

He had never imagined that Xue Tianmo would act with such ruthless decisiveness, showing not the slightest hesitation even though he was a prince.
