"Yes!!!"
Everyone charged at Luo Xiaotian, shouting and roaring. A densely packed mass of troops swarmed toward him, jostling to be the first!
Yet Luo Xiaotian stood alone with a single sword, holding back an army of thousands!
"Brother, I never meant to hurt you, but you kept pressing me."
"I love freedom, not power. If you want it, I'll give it to you. I never cared for the imperial throne."
Luo Xiaotian's voice suddenly softened. As he watched the hysterical Luo Feng, a mocking smile curled his lips.
"But since you insist on this, Brother, don't blame your little brother for picking on his elder!"
As soon as Luo Xiaotian finished speaking, he twirled his sword lightly through the air!
"Galaxy Burst!!!"
This was a divine ability he had learned in the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace. It could store the power of the starry river, then unleash an enormous explosion that devastated a wide area!
Boom!!
With a tremendous blast, a mushroom cloud gradually rose into the air. As for the Asura Army, not even a shadow remained!
"You... you can't kill me..."
Luo Feng panicked. Seeing his army wiped out just like that, without a trace, the last shred of pride in his heart vanished!
In cultivation, he was only at the sixth level of the Heavenly Mansion realm. In divine abilities, he was likewise no match for his younger brother, Luo Xiaotian.
Now, all he had left was endless regret.
"You can't kill me! I'm the crown prince!"
Hearing this, Luo Xiaotian did indeed stop, but he stared mockingly at Luo Feng, who lay sprawled on the ground like a dead dog.
"Yes, once you were the crown prince, lofty and exalted, beneath one man and above millions. You were the future emperor of the Black Dragon Empire, a sovereign who struck terror into everyone's hearts!"
"But that was your future self. Right now, you're nothing but a dog, a dog wagging its tail and begging!"
Luo Xiaotian stomped hard on Luo Feng's head. "All this time, you've kept targeting me. I spared you again and again, but you never knew when to quit. Instead, you only grew worse."
"After everything you've done, do you think you still deserve to live in this world?"
He pressed down harder with his foot, his mocking words ringing relentlessly in Luo Feng's ears!
Luo Feng's Dao heart shattered completely. Now, all he wanted was to beg for his life. Only if he survived could he talk about anything else, or even have the right to do so!
"I... yes, I'm a dog. Please let me go, my dear little brother..."
At this moment, Luo Feng had not a shred of dignity left. To him, surviving might already have been a gift from heaven!
"How dare you! Who are you to hurt my crown prince!"
Just as Luo Xiaotian was about to deliver the killing blow, a hoarse voice rang out from afar, accompanied by a withered, bony claw!
"Hmm?"
Luo Xiaotian hastily dodged, causing the claw to miss.
"Purple Mansion?"
Luo Xiaotian frowned slightly. Although he was confident he was invincible among those at the Heavenly Mansion realm and below, he had little confidence against someone at the Purple Mansion realm.
"Elder Sun? You've finally come!"
Seeing the newcomer, Luo Feng actually burst into tears.
Sun Fang frowned. If not for his plan, why would he ever support such a useless fool?
Nevertheless, Sun Fang turned toward Luo Xiaotian, a dangerous gleam showing in his dull gray eyes.
"Young friend, you must be the Third Prince of the Black Dragon Empire?"
"You're bound by blood, after all. Spare his life as a favor to this old man. What do you say?"
Sun Fang spoke cheerfully. He seemed to be negotiating, but in truth, he was merely announcing his decision.
"Spare him? What's the use of taking a bastard like him captive? Have your old eyes gone dim?"
Just then, an exceedingly arrogant voice rang out from below.
"Hmm?"
Sun Fang was briefly taken aback. Someone actually dared say to his face that his old eyes had gone dim?
How could he tolerate that!
But when he looked down, he saw a young man below.
It was none other than Xu Xuan!
"Who are you?"
Sun Fang raised his eyebrows, refraining from any rash action.
After all, someone who had reached the Heavenly Mansion realm so young surely had some powerful backing. Otherwise, there was no way he could have been trained to reach that realm at his age.
"I'm the cherished disciple of an elder of the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace. If you don't leave now, watch out-once my master arrives, you won't be able to leave."
Xu Xuan shouted with complete confidence.
Of course, Mo Tianji could not possibly come. He was only saying this to frighten the other man away.
"Pfft!"
Yet Sun Fang burst out laughing. "Ridiculous! What can someone from the Mystic Universe Heavenly Palace do? Apart from Mo Tianji, I fear none of them!"
Xu Xuan's expression immediately turned strange. He looked at Sun Fang and could not help asking, "You mean Mo Tianji of the Mystic Feather Heavenly Palace?"
Sun Fang nodded slightly, his face full of pride. "Indeed. Apart from him, no one else has the right to frighten this old man away."
"Here!"
Grinning, Xu Xuan tossed the Token from inside his robes up to him.
"What's this?"
Sun Fang instinctively reached out to catch it, then glanced at it and froze on the spot.
"You're... you're Mo Tianji's disciple?"
Sun Fang gave Xu Xuan a long, hard look. "Very well. I'll remember you!"
"We're leaving!"
Sun Fang grabbed Luo Feng beside him, tore open space, and left.
Watching Sun Fang leave, Xu Xuan could not help laughing. Then he leaped up and flew onto the spirit ship.
"Luo Xiaotian, are you all right?"
Luo Xiaotian smiled and shook his head, then pointed down below.
"I slaughtered them all by myself, but I still owe you thanks. This Sun Fang isn't simple. He doesn't seem like an ordinary Purple Mansion realm cultivator."
Luo Xiaotian's expression was somewhat grave as he spoke.
"Now that it's settled, check whether your Token has gained ten thousand mission points."
At Luo Xiaotian's reminder, Xu Xuan finally lowered his head and glanced at the Token.
Sure enough, the Token had gained ten thousand mission points.
"Yes, the mission's complete. It's time to head back."
Inside the Black Dragon Empire.
"Elder Sun, why didn't you avenge me?"
Once he returned to the Black Dragon Empire, Luo Feng's confidence came back.
Here, he was still the crown prince, still His Highness, beneath one man and above millions!
Sun Fang dearly wanted to slap him, but in the end, he could only explain patiently.
"Crown Prince, his master is Mo Tianji. Among the older generation, there is no one who hasn't heard of him. If Your Majesty truly wishes to know, please turn around and ask the sovereign."
"The sovereign knows, but this old servant truly dares not speak of it carelessly. Mo Tianji is the legend of an era!"
As Sun Fang spoke, a look of bewilderment suddenly flashed through his eyes.
"His Highness the Third Prince won't obstruct your grand undertaking, Your Highness. This old servant can guarantee that. Crown Prince, from now on, please don't trouble the Third Prince again."
"Damn it! I'll remember this grudge! He nearly took my life! How could I, the crown prince, not bear a grudge?"
Faced with Sun Fang's well-intentioned advice, Luo Feng instead erupted in curses!
