At the mere thought of it, Xue Beng's mind fell into turmoil.

He had only wanted to put on a proper display of his foppish side before everyone.

Who would have thought that this time, he seemed to have provoked someone truly formidable?

Just then, Xue Tianmo landed back on the ground.

His gaze shifted and fixed directly on Xue Beng.

A biting chill gleamed in his eyes, while killing intent surged forth!

"Ah?"

Suddenly stared at like that by Xue Tianmo, Xue Beng could not help but shudder. Goosebumps rose all over his body.

"Brother! What happened earlier was all a misunderstanding. I... I was only joking. Please don't take it seriously!"

Xue Beng apologized to Xue Tianmo tremblingly, instinctively backing away.

Hearing this, Xue Tianmo wore a vicious expression but said nothing.

The next moment, he held the Ice Sword and slowly walked toward Xue Beng.

At the sight of this, Xue Beng's pupils contracted sharply, and the fear in his heart reached its peak.

His image as a wastrel had all been an act, meant to keep himself alive.

He did not want to lose his life over something like this!

Seeing that Xue Tianmo had no intention of forgiving him, Xue Beng's mind was in complete disarray.

As he continued backing away, he suddenly turned around and fled madly as though the wind were beneath his feet.

"Trying to run? Did you ask for my permission?"

Seeing this, Xue Tianmo spoke coldly.

Xue Beng had dared to molest the Ice Empress before him and had even said he wanted to make him his dog.

How could he let such an insult go?

Just as Xue Tianmo was about to pursue Xue Beng, a figure suddenly stepped in front of him.

It was none other than the captain of the guards.

"Boy, how dare you!"

"You have already committed a grave offense by killing the guards of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family in the street. Why don't you surrender at once?"

Hearing the guard captain's words, Xue Tianmo's face darkened as he spoke in an icy voice:

"Whoever blocks me! Dies!!"

As he spoke, Xue Tianmo did not hesitate and directly made a sword-drawing motion.

"Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!"

"Whoosh!"

Immediately after, a cold flash flickered and vanished.

When they looked again, Xue Tianmo still seemed to be holding the sword-drawing stance, as though he had never drawn his sword at all.

Yet the guard captain who had been blocking him stood utterly motionless.

He looked like a petrified statue.

The surrounding onlookers were all bewildered.

"What happened?"

"Why isn't he moving?"

"Why didn't that young man draw his sword?"

"Hurry up and deal with this man, then go after that wastrel prince Xue Beng and rid the people of this scourge!"

"..."

Just as the crowd began discussing in alarm, a breeze swept past.

The next moment, the guard captain blocking Xue Tianmo toppled forward and fell face-first to the ground.

"Ah?"

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

After all, in their eyes, Xue Tianmo had only made a sword-drawing motion, and then nothing else happened.

Yet the guard captain had been slain on the spot just like that!

What the crowd did not know was that although Xue Tianmo appeared to have remained in a sword-drawing stance, he had actually drawn and thrust his sword in an instant.

His speed had been so fast that not even an afterimage appeared before he had already struck down the guard captain.

Xue Tianmo paid no attention to the shock of those around him and raised his eyes toward the direction in which Xue Beng had fled.

With that look, he saw that Xue Beng had already vanished.

"He won't get away!"

Xue Tianmo shouted in a low voice.

If the guard captain had not suddenly blocked him earlier, Xue Beng would not have escaped, but it did not matter anymore.

Xue Beng would die today!

"Tianmo."

Suddenly, a voice as clear as silver bells reached Xue Tianmo's ears.

It was none other than the Ice Empress.

"Hmm?"

Startled, Xue Tianmo hurriedly looked toward the Ice Empress.

Looking closely, he saw that Zhu Zhuqing, who had originally been standing beside the Ice Empress, had disappeared at some point.

Not long afterward, sounds came from the street ahead.

Following the sound, they saw Zhu Zhuqing slowly approaching with Xue Beng in one hand.

Once she came close, Zhu Zhuqing directly threw Xue Beng before Xue Tianmo.

"Tianmo, I caught him and brought him back. How you deal with him is up to you!"

Zhu Zhuqing said.

When she had seen Xue Beng flee earlier and Xue Tianmo being blocked by the guard captain, she had decisively chosen to act.

"Gulp..."

At this moment, Xue Beng lay limp before Xue Tianmo, terrified beyond measure. Where was even a trace of his earlier arrogance?

"Little brother, everything earlier was my fault!"

"I was the one who spoke rudely and offended you first."

"I sincerely admit my mistake and apologize to you here. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

As he spoke, Xue Beng directly knelt before Xue Tianmo, his eyes full of pleading.

Of course, despite what he said aloud, Xue Beng had other plans in mind.

Although Xue Tianmo had killed many guards earlier, he was the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

With that status, Xue Tianmo surely would not dare to kill him!

After all, killing a prince in the street would mean becoming enemies with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family to the death, would it not?

Even if Xue Tianmo was a genius, he surely would not dare.

He would lower himself to Xue Tianmo first. Once Xue Tianmo released him, he would find someone to deal with him properly afterward!

After thinking this, Xue Beng secretly let out a sigh of relief.

"Not hold it against you?"

"I'm not that magnanimous."

Xue Tianmo replied coldly.

Although he knew that Xue Beng's wastrel image was all an act, he should not have put on that act before him.

"Ah?"

Seeing that Xue Tianmo had no intention of sparing him, Xue Beng's mind fell into turmoil. He quickly pursed his lips and said:

"I am a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"You probably don't want to become enemies with the Heaven Dou Empire just because you killed me, do you?"

"If you truly do that, what awaits you will be endless pursuit. You will never know peace!"

Xue Beng stared straight at Xue Tianmo, intending to use his status as a prince to pressure him.

Unfortunately, Xue Tianmo was completely unmoved. He gave a faint, cold laugh and said:

"Even the Son of Heaven is punished for breaking the law, just like commoners."

"As a prince, you should all the more abide by the law."

"Under this bright sky, you openly molested women, acting unruly, arrogant, and overbearing."

"Wouldn't a prince like you only bring shame upon the imperial family?"

"Today, let me rid the Heaven Dou Imperial Family of a pest like you!"

As he spoke, Xue Tianmo prepared to strike. The Ice Sword swept through the air, and the chill gathering upon it made Xue Beng's heart tremble!

"Stop!"

Just then, a fierce shout suddenly rang out from not far away.

"Boom! Boom!"

Immediately afterward, four figures flashed over at high speed. Powerful Soul Power auras radiated from all four of them.

Although none of the four had unleashed their martial souls, it was still clear.

They were all Soul Douluo with Soul Power above level 80!

"Uncle Luo! You're here!!"

Seeing the newcomers, Xue Beng's eyes lit up. He hurriedly climbed to his feet and ran over to the four of them.
