Strongest War Emperor

Shen Lang had already unified the Five Great Sects, providing them with unimaginable resources and guidance in Martial Arts.

This allowed the disciples of the Five Great Sects to advance their Cultivation by leaps and bounds, and their equipment became many times more powerful than before.

The disciples of the Profound Iron Level Sects received resources and treatment that far surpassed those of the Spirit Copper Level Sects.

Under these circumstances, anyone with a bit of common sense would be thinking about how to earn more Contribution Points to obtain more resources and become stronger.

Take someone like Liu Hai, for example. He fought with Xiao Tong in the Wooden Man Alley, and as a result, Shen Lang beat them both up in front of thousands of people.

Afterward, he instigated Chen Tianci to attack Songdu Peak, only to be extorted by Shen Lang and lose his entire fortune.

But there was no way Liu Hai would hold a grudge against Shen Lang.

For one, he was terrified, having finally realized that Shen Lang’s strength was far beyond what he could contend with.

For another, he did some digging and discovered that Xiao Tong had also clashed with Shen Lang and had simply vanished right after...

Third, during this time, Liu Hai had also received incredible resources from the Profound Dao Sect. And the Sect elders had, intentionally or not, hinted that these resources were connected to Shen Lang!

At this point, only a fool would oppose Shen Lang!

That was why everyone was initially baffled by Feng Xiaoyao’s actions...

It wasn’t until Feng Xiaoyao roared out his explanation that everyone finally understood.

This was especially true for Shang Xiaoran and her group, as they had personally witnessed the incident at Yunxi Valley.

Back then, Feng Xiaoyao had bribed some Profound Dao Sect disciples to block the exit of Yunxi Valley, a necessary pass on the way to the Sect, and demanded a toll from everyone.

Shen Lang was rumored to have killed a member of the Feng Family in Celestial Palace City before, so Feng Xiaoyao had furiously attacked him on sight.

Afterward, Shang Xiaoran had set off a Smoke Bomb, plunging the scene into chaos.

By the time the smoke cleared, the entire group blocking the road had been crippled.

Even the Profound Dao Sect disciples at the Spirit Martial Realm who were guarding the valley entrance hadn’t escaped this fate.

Feng Xiaoyao had it even worse. Not only were several of his ribs broken, but his legs had also been snapped.

The critical part was that the Feng Family was famous for cultivating the Leg Technique known as the ”Wind God Leg”!

With his legs broken, what ”Wind God Leg” was there left to talk about...

If the injuries were severe enough, Feng Xiaoyao’s journey on the path of Martial Arts was more or less over.

Originally, the incident was an unsolved case. Even the Profound Dao Sect’s Thunder Guard couldn’t figure out who the attacker was.

But later, Shen Lang revealed his overwhelming Cultivation, and for a time, no one could match his fame.

Even a fool would have figured it out by now; the one who attacked back then was definitely Shen Lang.

Feng Xiaoyao knew it was Shen Lang who had gravely injured him, and he also knew he couldn’t fight back, so he very wisely chose to lay low.

For a long time, he had kept an extremely low profile.

So low, in fact, that people barely noticed his existence.

But this man had lived a smooth and pampered life, becoming arrogant, domineering, and vengeful. How could he truly swallow such an insult!

Since he couldn’t deal with Shen Lang, he chose to go after the people around him!

And that was what led to the current scene...

When the people from the Profound Dao Sect were being pushed around and bullied by the other Major Sects in the Imperial Capital, Feng Xiaoyao finally found his chance.

He lied about finding reinforcements to handle the situation, using it as a pretext to lure Zhan Wuji, Shu Lan, and the others out of the city.

Zhan Wuji and his group had sensed something was wrong from the start.

But they never imagined he would be so twisted, so utterly deranged!

He was actually planning to defect from the Profound Dao Sect, collude with the Holy Light Sect, and slaughter them all!

Realizing this, Su Shi, Zhan Wuji, and the others knew there was no room for negotiation.

This time, it was either them or their enemies.

Besides, faced with a deranged and twisted madman like him, words were useless. Begging for mercy or compromising would only make him crazier.

Their figures shifted slightly as they formed a Battle Array balanced for both offense and defense. They activated the powerful Magical Treasures in their hands, preparing for a desperate, all-or-nothing fight!

Even with Xuanwu Realm powerhouses present, with their powerful Profound Artifacts, they might still have a fighting chance!

But Feng Xiaoyao, at this moment, was in no hurry at all.

In his eyes, with such a lineup, let alone this group of Profound Dao Sect disciples with their relatively low Cultivation...

...even if Xiao Gushu and Cai Chaoqun were here, they would still die without a doubt!

With Qian Luo of the Holy Light Sect, a master at Xuanwu Realm Sixth Heaven, personally overseeing things, these people had absolutely no chance of escape, even if they could fly to the heavens or burrow into the earth!

Feng Xiaoyao, looking utterly crazed, began to recount his story, pouring out all his resentment for Shen Lang.

He was finally revealing everything he had suppressed for so long.

”Shen Lang stole my spotlight, broke my legs, and ruined all my plans!”

His face was twisted with rage as he ground out the words, ”With my talent, I should have entered the Profound Dao Sect as the number one prodigy, the center of everyone’s attention! I should have made everyone in the Profound Dao Sect look at me with new eyes!”

”It was Shen Lang who gravely injured me in Yunxi Valley, stole my thunder, and forced me to sneak into the Profound Dao Sect in disgrace.”

”And not only that, before I could even recover, he suddenly became famous in the Profound Dao Sect and was even made the Commander of the Five Sects Alliance! A bunch of old geezers are all fawning over him... All of that should have been mine!”

”Mine!”

No one said a word. Only Feng Xiaoyao, his face flushed with a morbid glow, continued to shriek and gesticulate wildly.

He was like a crazed Fierce Beast, ready to pounce and devour someone.

”Killing you will make Shen Lang blame himself, regret everything, and wish he were dead... That is my goal!”

”Now, do you understand why I want to kill you? Haha! You are my tools! Tools for me to use against Shen Lang!”

Feng Xiaoyao roared in a low voice, like a lion.

”I’m not just going to kill you! I’m going to strip these women naked and fuck them hard! Then I’ll use an Illusory God Talisman to record every single detail, bit by bit, and let Shen Lang have a good long look at what I’ve done!”

”I want him to regret ever provoking me! To regret ever being alive in this world!”

”Ah, I can’t wait! I can’t wait to see him witness all of this... Just thinking about the look on his face after he sees it... I’m so looking forward to it!”

”Hahahaha!”

Feng Xiaoyao threw his head back and roared with laughter, bending over and unable to stand straight.

Just then, Qian Luo suddenly waved his hand, and the cold, indifferent young man beside him slowly walked forward.

Feng Xiaoyao paused, his laughter catching in his throat. ”Brother Xiu Ban, what are you...?”

Xiu Ban didn’t even glance at Feng Xiaoyao. His eyes were locked onto Su Shi.

This young man was none other than Xiu Ban, the Holy Light Sect disciple Shen Lang had subdued when he rescued Yi Hongchen, the Young Valley Master of Evil Wind Valley!

He was the first subordinate Shen Lang took in, aside from the Ghost King and the Bone Demon.

Back then, Xiu Ban had endured Shen Lang’s ”Golden Needle Acupoint Forging Body Technique,” finally convincing Shen Lang to spare his life. Shen Lang then gave him a Sword Skill: the ”Celestial Tyrant Saber Technique”!

Now, because he cultivated the ”Celestial Tyrant Saber Technique,” Xiu Ban’s entire aura was like that of a tyrannical saber—sharp and overpowering.

Furthermore, at Shen Lang’s behest, Qian Luo had given him extra guidance, allowing Xiu Ban’s Cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds over the past few months.

Feng Xiaoyao looked at Qian Luo, a little stunned.

He heard Qian Luo say, ”My martial nephew here is a bit of a battle fanatic. He saw that the kid with the gauntlets has decent Cultivation, so he wants to exchange a few moves with him first.”

”Let them play for a while. We can kill them later just the same.”

”This...” Feng Xiaoyao’s brow furrowed, clearly displeased with Qian Luo’s decision.

Both Xiu Ban and Su Shi were at the Spirit Martial Realm Fourth Heaven. Their actual Cultivation levels were likely on par with each other.

The problem was that the gauntlets in Su Shi’s hands were a Fourth Grade Profound Artifact!

How could an ordinary Spirit Martial Realm Martial Artist possibly contend with such a Profound Artifact?

’If they were that easy to deal with, I wouldn’t have been scared out of my wits and scrambling to escape earlier.’

’But that’s not even the most important part. The most important thing is, in this situation, I want to torture these people to death and then drag all the women back to ravage them.’

’Qian Luo, you’re suddenly sticking your nose in and having Xiu Ban come out for a duel. What kind of trick is this?’

’You know, this is really ruining the mood, right?’

’I spent all this time building up the atmosphere, trying to make these people feel fear and despair, and you just let Xiu Ban come out and mess everything up!’

Feng Xiaoyao’s expression was ugly as he stammered, ”Senior, we’re only about ten li from the city. If we delay, I’m afraid...”

Qian Luo’s face turned cold. ”Hmm? You have a problem with that?”

”No, no, how would this junior dare? I just feel that while Brother Xiu Ban is powerful, Su Shi’s ’Cyan Demon Hand’ is of a very high grade, giving him a huge advantage. It’s very unfair to Brother Xiu Ban,” Feng Xiaoyao said hastily, shivering.

Xiu Ban might be a nobody, but this bastard Qian Luo was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend.

The man was a Master of One Peak in the Holy Light Sect, wielding considerable power and astonishing Cultivation, and he didn’t have a good temper either.

Besides, he still needed him as a connection to get into the Holy Light Sect!

Qian Luo snorted coldly. ”Those gauntlets may be powerful, but I already injured that kid’s meridians earlier. Moreover, without reaching the Xuanwu Realm, it’s difficult to unleash the full power of a Profound Artifact. There’s nothing fair or unfair about it.”

”If a Martial Artist wants to grow, they must challenge those stronger than themselves. How can they succeed by cowering in fear?”

’Fuck, I’m not cowering, I just think you’re in the way!’

Feng Xiaoyao cursed inwardly but could only nod helplessly. ”Alright...”

Xiu Ban didn’t speak either. He took two steps forward, moving in front of Feng Xiaoyao, and drew the long saber from his back, pointing it at Su Shi. ”You. Do you dare to fight me?”

Su Shi took two steps forward, slamming his Cyan Demon Hand gauntlets together forcefully, and said proudly, ”Why wouldn’t I dare?”

The two stood facing each other, ten meters apart, their momentums soaring at the same instant!

One was handsome and dashing, with a vast and majestic aura; the black energy coiling around his Cyan Demon Hand was strange and startling, making him seem like a demon or a devil.

The other had a cold expression, domineering and fierce; his aura was solemn and murderous, like an unsheathed tyrannical saber, impossibly sharp!

The duel between Swordsmen was about to begin!

Xiu Ban gripped his long saber with both hands, its tip pointed at Su Shi, and slowly raised it.

A wild Qi Force surged around them, sending fallen leaves fluttering into the air.

Everyone around them, including Feng Xiaoyao, watched in silence.

Just as Xiu Ban slowly raised his long saber and Su Shi focused his energy, gathering his momentum...

...Xiu Ban, saber in hand, suddenly spun around! Like the most agile Black Panther, he instantly charged toward Feng Xiaoyao!

A mournful gleam of the blade, accompanied by an ear-piercing shriek, carried an incomparably ferocious slash toward Feng Xiaoyao!

The ”Celestial Tyrant Saber Technique” was a Killing Technique, devoid of any flashy moves.

It was simple and direct. As wild as the wind, as fierce as the waves, as fast as lightning.

The single strike was unleashed with extreme, brutal dominance!

Other than Qian Luo, no one had expected such a dramatic turn of events...
