"Go. Kill everyone here. Leave no survivors." After cutting down the group of powerful fighters, Shen Tu Lang turned to his guards and gave the order.
"As you command!" The guards launched themselves into the air without a moment's hesitation. Anyone within eyesight became a target for their brutal slaughter.
In an instant, the lavish inn erupted into flames of war. Explosions thundered without cease, and rising alongside those booms were the horrific screams of people begging for mercy.
"You're slaughtering innocent people so brazenly — are you even human?!" At this sight, Su Mei could no longer hold back. She pointed at Shen Tu Lang and shouted in fury.
"Human? I am certainly not human. To be precise — I am a god."
"The people here are taking up too much space. That's why, when I arrived, I couldn't even book a decent private room. They delayed my itinerary and disrupted my plans. Whether they meant to or not, death is the most fitting punishment for them," Shen Tu Lang said smugly.
"You — you're nothing but a beast!" Su Mei cursed.
"A beast? Very well, very well. You dare call me a beast? Then let me show you what a real beast looks like."
"Someone strip these two girls naked for me. I want you all to enjoy the show — a little live performance, right here." Shen Tu Lang let out a sinister laugh while letting his predatory gaze sweep over the alluring figures of Su Rou and Su Mei.
"As you command." The two guards standing behind Shen Tu Lang immediately shot forward, darting toward Su Rou and Su Mei. Both of them were no weaklings — they were at the fourth level of Heaven Martial.
"You're asking to die." At the sight of this, Jiang Wushuang's eyes blazed with fury. He began circulating his Heavenly Force along with the power of his inherited bloodline, intending to teach these guards a lesson.
Though he was no match for Shen Tu Lang, his combat strength was more than enough to deal with these two guards.
*Boom!* However, before Jiang Wushuang could make his move, a vast surge of Heavenly Force descended from above. With a deafening crash, a massive crater appeared ten meters from where Jiang Wushuang stood. As for the two guards, they had already been smashed into two piles of meat pulp.
At the same time, a voice dripping with killing intent fell from the sky. Two figures landed before Jiang Wushuang, Su Rou, and Su Mei. They were none other than Chu Feng and Zhang Tianyi. The one who had struck was Chu Feng.
"Damn it — you dare lay a hand on my people? You're truly seeking death. Someone kill them all!" The instant his two guards were killed, Shen Tu Lang flew into a towering rage and let out a roar toward the sky.
At that, the guards who had been busy slaughtering returned in a fury, one after another, and without a word launched their attacks at Chu Feng.
"You don't have what it takes to kill me."
Yet Chu Feng showed not the slightest fear as opponents closed in from every direction — the weakest among them at the second level of Heaven Martial, and several at the fourth level.
With a casual wave of his hand, a tremendous surge of Heavenly Force erupted skyward like a savage beast and swallowed every last one of them in a single gulp.
"Aagh~~~!"
"Prince, save us~~~!"
At that moment, screams and wails poured down from the high sky. The guards of the Shen Tu Royal Clan were enduring unimaginable agony.
Chu Feng had not killed them outright. Instead, he was torturing them — using his Heavenly Force to tear through their skin, bone, and even their nerves, inch by inch, little by little. The pain was so excruciating they wished for nothing more than death.
"You — you are truly courting death!"
Seeing his own guards being subjected to such humiliation and torture right before his eyes, Shen Tu Lang's killing intent skyrocketed. He let out a furious roar, and a radiant golden character — the imperial mark — flickered to life on his forehead.
