Chapter 215: Chapter 213: I Will Make the Choice for the People, That Is to Die!

Chuzhou, central region.

The imperial palace of Chu Nation’s capital city, the deepest part of which was filled with figures.

Each one of them radiated a dominant and overbearing aura.

The moment Long Wu and Long Ba died, the Soul Fire placed at the center of the palace suddenly extinguished.

Sigh~

A low sigh emanated from the upper seat within the palace.

"That person has indeed chosen to be hostile towards our Great Chu."

"Then continue with the plan from years ago. Wasn’t it conceived to deal with the situation we face now, as a precaution?"

"At this point, there’s no turning back."

Each voice contained hints of madness and murderous intent.

The figure seated in the topmost position, clad in the Nine Dragons Robe, had his palm pressing down hard on the throne.

"Continue!"

Those two simple words were laden with overwhelming murderous intent.

...

Following the news of the destruction of Star Moon Tower.

The atmosphere in the capital of Chu Nation grew even more oppressive.

Most of the residents living in the capital were aware that years ago, the Chu Emperor had specifically asked the Taoist Child from the Beast Taming Sect to visit Chu Nation.

They weren’t fools and could roughly guess the Chu Emperor’s intentions back then.

But now, the Taoist Child known as Qin Dao had transformed into the Divine Emperor.

And has begun a brutally extreme retribution, destroying one major force after another, claiming the lives of millions.

Such scenes caused the citizens dwelling in the capital of Chu Nation to be fraught with fear and trepidation, dreading to become sacrifices to the slaughter.

Those with the capability and strength had already started to flee, while those who were weaker moved to more remote residences.

Thousands of miles outside the capital of Chu Nation.

A golden chariot raced across the Vault of Heaven, pulled by a tiger demon composed of white bones, speeding along.

Liang Hui leaned against the railing of the chariot, gazing helplessly at the girl in a black dress beside him.

The girl’s features were delicate, her eyes lively and cunning.

"Didn’t I ask you to gather the former divine generals? Why are you in Chu Nation?"

"There are a few divine generals in Chu Nation too, so I came here to see if they were still alive."

Su Yao smiled softly, her fair hand reaching out to grab the young man’s arm, checking for injuries before slowly letting go.

"I heard you wiped out the Evil Path and destroyed Qingheng Sect, and recently exterminated Star Moon Tower again. You’re not hurt, are you?"

"They were just some small fish; how could they possibly injure me."

Liang Hui felt the girl’s concern, and although he knew there was self-interest mixed within it, his face still broke into a smile.

He patted the railing lightly, his body slowly straightening up.

Before them, a massive city stretching for thousands of miles was now in sight.

"I’ve come here to slaughter the entire Chu royal family. Will you join me?"

"Of course. Since we’ve come across it, how can we miss it?"

"But are we just going to drive straight in like this?"

Su Yao expressed her hesitation upon sensing the bright glow surrounding the chariot.

In her opinion, the better choice would be to sneak into the city first and then proceed to slaughter near the palace.

Liang Hui took down the Eternal Spear from his back, his eyes shining with cold light, hair flying wildly.

"If I were weaker, perhaps I would use various strategies to increase my chances of victory."

"But now, at this moment, how many people in the world could stand against me? It’s unnecessary to resort to such schemes."

Boom!

Golden Qi-blood erupted skyward, shattering the clouds and overwhelming the land.

The city’s protective array had yet to be activated.

The extremely sharp tip of the spear had already shattered the city gates.

Leaving a trench several miles long on the ground, it headed straight for the palace.

A dragon-shaped divine glow appeared in the palace, blocking the strike.

Boom! Rumbling!

Amidst the tremendous booming, numerous buildings collapsed, and piercing screams filled the air.

"Divine Emperor Your Majesty, please wait," a frantic voice came from deep within the palace.

The response was the swiftly advancing chariot and an even more dazzling thrust.

The long spear tore through space, piercing the void and materializing deep within the palace.

Boom! Crackle!

Palaces turned to dust, and a dozen figures stumbled out.

Standing high in the air, they looked towards Liang Hui.

And the spear was bloodied, skewering an elderly man, his complexion deathly pale, his breathing feeble.

It seemed he would die at any moment.

But at the last moment, Liang Hui stopped thrusting the spear forward.

With a slight frown between his brows, using the Flowing Light Bell, he perceived that the old man’s body was connected by densely packed causality threads numbering in the millions, even tens of millions.

Such a situation made even Liang Hui halt his killing intent.

"Divine Emperor, let go of the Imperial Uncle. Do you understand the consequences of his death?" A middle-aged man clad in the Nine Dragons Robe stood at the forefront, his voice calm yet frenzied.

"Tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, will be buried with him."

"Do not disbelieve, this is the foundation Great Chu has built over hundreds of years. The common people have eaten the royal grain; naturally, they must give everything for us."

"Including their lives!"

The voice was loud and utterly unobscured.

Boom! Boom!

Before Liang Hui could speak, the entire capital burst into noise.

Millions of commoners looked up in terror at the Vault of Heaven, as the Imperial Court had often distributed food over the years.

Boosting the royal family’s reputation among the populace continuously.

"Divine Emperor Your Majesty, please spare me a chance to live."

"Divine Emperor, do not kill him, save us."

"Wuu... how can this be, how can the Imperial Court do such a thing."

The voice of one person, of ten thousand people, of a million, of tens of millions.

The surging voices came sweeping in from all directions.

At this moment, the middle-aged man’s expression turned frenzied, his voice became soothing.

"Divine Emperor Your Majesty, we only wish to protect ourselves. If you spare us, we are still willing to fight the Heavenly Demon Realm for the sake of the world in the future."

Liang Hui cast his eyes downward.

Looking at the figures kneeling in the city, among them old men, children, and women too— they were the foundation of this world.

In the end, Liang Hui turned his gaze to the girl by his side.

Slap!

A delicate hand gently grasped the youth’s palm.

Su Yao’s smile receded, seriousness taking its place as she spoke word by word:

"If you slaughter the innocent, I will be the one to pull out the spear."

Ha! Ha! Ha!

Liang Hui laughed heartily.

"I alone will carry all these causalities; there’s no need for you to bear them for me."

"I’ve said I would decide for the living beings. Now, let them die!"

His palm suddenly exerted force, and the golden war spear instantly crushed the old man’s remaining body on its tip.

In an instant, millions of commoners in the city fell to the ground as if their skeletons had been extracted, life extinguished.

This situation, with the capital as the center, continued to spread outwards.

In the wilderness, amid the farms, inside the markets, figures died.

Cries of mourning arose from the capital, from Chuzhou, from Jingzhou, from Chu Nation.

Kill!

Liang Hui’s expression was icy, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He leaped from the chariot, clenched his hand in a Fist Seal, and smashed towards the palace.

He intended to pummel to death all members of the royal family with his fists.

The rolling punches pushed aside the air for miles around in an instant, with an almost boiling murderous intent, crushing towards the middle-aged man.

Ah!

"Liang Hui, you’ve gone mad. How dare you. Those are commoners by the millions!"

"If you continue to kill like this, how will you contend with the Heavenly Demon Realm?"

The middle-aged man wearing the Nine Dragons Robe roared with all his might.

He could not believe what he was seeing; it was not one million but ten million, a hundred million.

To kill them all would mean Great Chu’s five states would be half-ruined.

The Dragon Qi tried to surge in his body to block the punch.

But at this moment, the Dragon Qi sourced from the commoners had thinned to its limit.

It had barely surged in his body when it was dispersed by the Fistful Intent.

Boom!

The Fist Seal brutally hit the middle-aged man.

Smashing his bones and muscles to pieces.

Bang!

Scarlet fireworks bloomed in the sky.
