The people atop East Mountain nearly choked on their saliva and fainted. The King's words were utterly infuriating! Where was the slightest trace of the demeanor of a noble royal? He was simply a furious rogue!
Was he so enraged by everything that happened today that he lost his mind?
This is understandable. At his most triumphant and glorious moment, disaster struck. Not only was his coronation ceremony ruined into a huge joke, but his fiancée and his most loyal guards were also killed on the spot. Such a huge blow would probably have made anyone else so angry that they would have died of vomiting blood, or at the very least, gone mad.
Modrić laughed loudly, " Alexander, so what if you faked your death and escaped? Do you really think you can salvage anything on your own?"
He smiled smugly, then suddenly reached up and wiped his face.
A series of cyan ripples flickered, releasing wisps of wood-elemental magic. As the mist gradually dissipated, the face completely changed. It was no longer the gentle, refined, and smiling Prince of the Kingdom of Lake with his golden hair, but had become someone completely unfamiliar to Sun Fei.
"Wood-based illusion magic!?" someone exclaimed.
"He is [ The Butcher ] Sandro... a knight commander under Prince Dominguez II, I've seen him before..." someone exclaimed, revealing the identity of the unfamiliar face.
Hearing someone call his name, Sandro's smug expression widened. "Hahaha, Alexander, now you understand why I helped Miss Paris, and why those two are still alive?"
Behind Sandro stood two people who were originally dead.
The burly earth-elemental warrior He Shengzhen, and Prince Obinna of Kingdom of Thrace.
The former had attempted to ambush Sun Fei two days prior but was instead chased by Sun Fei like a whack-a-mole all the way to the envoy's post station in Kingdom of Lake, where he eventually committed suicide by poisoning. The latter, on the other hand, was likely slaughtered by some mysterious master along with his guards at the envoy's post station in Chambord City.
But now they are all alive and well.
The two men wore smug and mocking smiles, but also venomous and resentful gazes as they stared intently at Sun Fei. This was the King they had initially disregarded, yet he had forced them to 'die' and nearly ruined Prince Dominguez's grand plan.
"I understand now. So that night, you tipped off the Kingdom of Thrace delegation in advance, allowing them to fake the annihilation of the entire delegation and the murder of Prince Obinna. Then, while I was searching for the Thracian delegation's post station, you had someone impersonate He Shengzhen and fake his death, thus deceiving me, right?" Sun Fei's face showed a look of sudden realization.
"At least you're not completely an idiot." Prince Obinna of Kingdom of Thrace took a step forward with a cold smile.
"No wonder, how could someone kill over two hundred people in one go, including some Star-Rank Warrior, and I didn't even sense it from a thousand meters away? So that's how it is..." Sun Fei stroked his chin and rolled his eyes. "But you guys are really ruthless, killing so many of your own guards and soldiers in one go, just because you were afraid I'd discover something... Hmm, you guys are truly worse than beasts."
"Afraid of you? Idiot, you really overestimate yourself. Lady Paris is only afraid of alerting the Princess and letting her guess something, so she deliberately set up this smokescreen," Prince Obinna of Kingdom of Thrace looked at Sun Fei as if he were an idiot, and laughed disdainfully, " King, you should worry about yourself. Chambord City is destined to be wiped off the map today, and all your subjects will die, turn to ashes, and Zuli River feed the fish, along with you!"
Called a beast, Kingdom of Thrace Prince Obinna's face darkened with malice.
However, to everyone's surprise, at this moment, the alluring woman Paris unexpectedly took a step forward with a solemn expression and said with a smile, " King Alexander, I must admit that you are a very promising genius. If you are willing to swear allegiance to Prince Dominguez, I will spare you today, and even your Chambord City can be preserved. You can continue to be your King, and I can also guarantee you that in the Imperial Military Exercise two months later, Chambord City will be promoted to a third-class vassal state."
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Upon hearing this, Sun Fei slapped his thigh, laughing so hard tears almost streamed down his face, "Auntie, is this some kind of handout? Could it be... hehe, could it be you're scared?" Before Paris could say anything more, Sun Fei's expression suddenly turned fierce, all traces of his smile vanishing. He glared angrily and pointed disdainfully. "Pah! To hell with His Highness Dominguez! To hell with your third-rate vassal state! What do I want? Can't I get it myself? Do I need a bunch of self-righteous idiots to give it to me? Today, if I'm not happy, nobody will leave this summit of East Mountain alive!"
This furious outburst, which completely tore off all pretense of civility, left everyone atop East Mountain stunned.
Even the eldest princess, the " God of War " Arshavin, and the alluring Paris were dumbfounded.
The gloom that had been weighing on Sun Fei's heart for so many days, along with everything that had happened on the summit of East Mountain today, made him want to vent his anger. At this moment, His Majesty the King's eccentricities kicked in again, and he began to act recklessly.
He put his hands on his hips and started swearing wildly, spitting as he spoke.
"Pah! What the hell is this King demeanor? What the hell is this aristocratic etiquette? Get the hell out of my way! Yes, you're all big shots, you're all lords. You can blow up my Chambord City with a fart. I don't care if you want to kill each other, but of all people, you just had to come to my territory to fight and kill, and you even want to destroy my country and kill my subjects. Fine, I spit on you! You big shots, hehe, today I'll show you what it's like when a nobody like me gets angry."
Even a common man in a fit of rage can cause bloodshed five steps away!
Before anyone could react after Sun Fei finished cursing, his figure suddenly blurred, and in the next second, his body shot out in mid-air as a blur. His hands moved at high speed, grabbing at the void, and then two dazzling lights, one blue and one purple, flashed, and the Purple and Azure Twin Swords appeared in Sun Fei's hands.
"Hahaha, I'll just collect some interest first!"
Sun Fei laughed loudly, and with a flick of his wrists, his Purple and Azure Twin Swords drew the most magnificent rainbow in the world before everyone's eyes, whistling as they hurtled towards Modrić and his companions...
A single word could spark a fight, and they drew their swords.
Even the wrath of a common man can be as powerful as the wrath of Heaven.
At the summit of East Mountain, no one expected that, despite being at such a disadvantage, this enraged, seemingly mad, King would still dare to take the initiative.
Seeing the Purple and Azure Twin Swords coming at them, Obinna and his guard He Shengzhen coldly drew their weapons to fight back. Like Sun Fei, they were all Four-Star-Rank Warrior, and they were not afraid of fighting one against two. They even took the initiative to meet the attack, intending to kill the King who had insulted them, as the alluring woman Paris said, and to show their loyalty to His Highness Dominguez, the future emperor of the empire.
but--
roar!!!!
A deafening, earth-shattering roar suddenly rang in their ears. The immense sound waves inexplicably pierced their bodies, profoundly shaking their souls. Then, in the next instant, an overwhelming, inexplicable fear, like a river bursting its banks, surged uncontrollably into their hearts, causing their pupils to dilate and their bodies to stiffen...
Then, a sharp flash of light arrived.
Pfft!
Two waves of blood, accompanied by two fine heads, shot into the sky.
Bang! Bang!
The two headless corpses, He Shengzhen and Obinna, collapsed to the ground, their limbs twitching.
Drops of blood dripped from the blades of the Purple and Azure Twin Swords onto the dust on the ground, splashing up beautiful yet eerie dust flowers.
No one expected that, in just one move, this seemingly critically injured and dying King would actually decapitate two masters of the same level.
Hiss hiss hiss--!
The distinct gasps of cold air shattered the momentary tranquility atop East Mountain, and everyone felt a chill run from their rear ends straight up to their throats!
Wow wow wow wow!
A sharp, hoarse scream rang out.
Deep in the distant mountains, countless enormous carrion birds, spreading their wings, flew through a magnificent golden sea of clouds, like a dark, oppressive cloud— the Bloody rising from the summit of East Mountain tempted them with the allure of a delicious meal.
"Hehe, now I finally feel a little bit better!"
Sun Fei wiped the blood off the Purple and Azure Twin Swords with the sole of his foot, then stretched comfortably, kicked the corpses of He Shengzhen and Obinna a couple of times, and grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. "So they're really dead now? Hehe, why don't you stand up and pretend to be dead again so I can see?"
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!!!"
Sandro, the " Butcher " who had previously disguised himself as Prince Modrić of the Kingdom of Kingdom of Lake, was terrified. He screamed and retreated as if he'd been stabbed in the back with a spiked Wolf Fang. This guy, nicknamed " Butcher," was as cowardly as a pinhole; he was so scared he almost wet himself. He scrambled and rolled behind the alluring woman Paris, completely devoid of the smugness he'd displayed after successfully ambushing the two masters.
Clang clang clang clang!
Sun Fei displayed none of the demeanor of a master, acting more like a thug as he swung the coveted magical weapons Purple and Azure Twin Swords, like wooden sticks, making a clanging sound. His eyes revealed no attempt to conceal his smugness. "Hey, Paris, wanna have some fun? I want to have even more fun, what do you think?"
