Beastmaster of the Ages

An uproar erupted. No one had expected Li Tianming to strike at the very last moment, murdering Long Xuanzhao just as Lin Xiaoting, Imperator Ji, and the others arrived.

“You wretch!” Granny Long Ya of the Torchdragon Starcage shrieked with boundless grief and fury. Earlier, she had thought Cang Shanyuan was useless for letting Cang Shentu be killed right under his nose.

And now, it was the Torchdragon Starcage’s turn...

“Li Tianming, have you considered the consequences of murder in our Violetblitz Capital?” Lin Xiaoting’s eyes crackled with lightning as he looked down at Tianming with overwhelming authority.

“He touched my woman. So I took his life.” Tianming smiled faintly, sheathing his sword as he turned to face the gathered peak experts. “One must bear the consequences for their actions. Cang Shentu did. And now so has Long Xuanzhao.”

“You punk!” Cang Shanyuan was so enraged he nearly vomited blood. Aquamarine’s imperial son had been dead for decades, yet he was still being dragged out and paraded again and again.

The injured Imperator Tu seized the chance to retreat to Imperator Ji’s side. With so many experts there, Li Tianzi and Zi Zhen couldn’t stop her.

“Are you alright?” Imperator Ji frowned as she looked at her sister.

“If you’d come any later, maybe not... But I’m still fine for now,” Imperator Tu nodded lightly, then cast a cold glance at Li Tianzi and Zi Zhen. “Be careful. Li Tianzi and that barbarian woman from who knows where both possess imperator-level combat power.”

“Understood,” Imperator Ji replied calmly.

She reached out and took Lin Xiaoting’s right hand, putting on an intimate act as she asked, “Xiaoting, Imperial Son Long has been killed and my sister beaten by some ruffians. How do you intend to handle this?”

“Crimes in Violetblitz Capital shall naturally be judged by its laws.” It was actually Lin Xiaoting’s first time holding her hand, and a jolt ran through him as he clasped her jade-like fingers in return. “A murderer deserves death! As for his two accomplices who disrespected an imperator, they shall be executed on the spot if they resist!”

Countless cosmic gods cheered on Lin Xiaoting’s.

Just moments ago, watching Long Xuanzhao and Imperator Tu being brutally beaten had felt like their own faces were being ground into the dirt.

But now, Imperial Son Lin had arrived to deliver justice. Furthermore, he was also holding Imperator Ji’s hand as he spoke!

That made many immensely satisfied.

“Fuck you.” Tianming immediately displayed ‘seething rage’. He glared at Lin Xiaoting, teeth clenched. “Lin Xiaoting! Do you want to die for hooking up with my slut concubine right in front of me?!”

“The one seeking death is you,” Lin Xiaoting said coldly. “If you had no ability, wouldn’t it have been better to stay obediently in Nullity? You’re suicidal to come here to cause trouble.”

Tianming jabbed his sword at Lin Xiaoting, staring him down fiercely. “Get down here! Forget any thousand-year pact. I’m cutting off your dog head today!”

He truly looked unhinged with rage, on the verge of hysteria. But that was only natural. What man could tolerate another man holding their wife’s hand?

“Very well. If you’re so eager to die, this imperial son will grant your wish.”

Lightning erupted as Lin Xiaoting descended into the Myriadbolt Plaza, wielding a terrifying long spear forged from countless lightning bolts. “Today, the criminal Li Tianming committed murder, staining his hands with blood. In accordance with the will of our ancestors, this imperial son hereby sentences him to death!”

Lin Xiaoting’s aura as a ninth-level primocosmic god flared. Lightning blazed in his eyes, as if the souls of countless ancestors had gathered within him, turning him in that instant into an impartial executioner.

“Execute him! Execute him!”

“There can be no escape for those who offend Violetblitz!”

Tens of millions roared in unison. Lin Xiaoting was the pride of the violetblitzians, while for the torchdragoids and aquamars, Lin Xiaoting represented their hope for avenging their fallen imperial sons!

Roars, denunciations, and curses flowed endlessly.

They knew Li Tianming had reason to be furious, and reason to kill. But this was violetblitzian territory, not Skyplunder Capital! Killing someone here wasn’t bravery but suicide.

Yet Tianming didn’t show the slightest fear. Instead, he burst out laughing loudly.

“Death sentence? Ancestors’ will? If your ancestors knew their so-called dignified imperial son was sneaking around with another man’s wife, they’d claw their way out of their graves in shame. Today, I’ll act on behalf of your Lin family’s ancestors and purge this rotten conduct!”

Even more people began cursing him...

If this were Skyplunder Capital, everyone would surely be cursing Lin Xiaoting instead. But coming onto someone else’s turf meant facing their home-field advantage. However, Tianming wasn’t the least bit affected by the surrounding atmosphere.

At this very moment, Li Yanfeng’s army had already assembled. Its vanguard had even infiltrated Violetblitz Capital itself, ready to strike at the optimal moment.

Of course, Lin Xiaoting and the others hadn’t noticed this at all. There were simply too many cosmic gods in Violetblitz Capital and the infiltrators were only a tiny fraction.

Moreover, Tianming and his group were drawing all the attention. After all, they were the fish they had spent a long time baiting. For them and the Adjudicator behind them, once Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoting clashed, it would quickly become clear whether Li Muyang could leave Nulluty!

And just as the entire scene reached a boiling point and battle was about to erupt, an even more intense wave of cheers rose.

“The imperator has arrived!”

“Lord Imperator Jian!”

Compared to Lin Xiaoting, Lin Tianjian was the true leader of the violetblitzians and the spiritual pillar of the entire race!
