Chapter 632: Chapter 96: Slaying [Requesting Monthly Votes!]_1

Danger!

The audacity of this Fish Demon attacking blatantly within the Imperial Palace had truly taken Chu Liang by surprise. The palace defense today was far beyond any previous occasion. Even though the Fish Demon was a Seventh Realm cultivator who had already sealed off the surrounding atmosphere, would it still escape if he revealed even a trace of his presence?

The Fish Demon hurled itself over, and in an instant, a brilliant five-color spiritual aura emerged, congregating into a large array resembling the scales of a fish, and in no time, swallowed Chu Liang.

Although Chu Liang had just received the protection of the Dragon Soul, it was merely strengthened below the Heaven’s Gate. He still had no ability to resist a formidable being above the Heaven’s Gate.

At this critical moment, Chu Liang hesitated not, he turned his hand and took out the jade bowl, "Come out, my best friend!"

Pop!

Facing such a crushing discrepancy in strength, any struggle was of little use. The best method was to summon assistance. Only by finding someone of the same level could he truly resist.

And right beside Chu Liang happened to be one.

Whizz——

The jade bowl shattered, a ray of light flashed through, and the magnificent Golden Dragon Scale soared into the sky! A dazzling stream of light illuminated the night sky, accompanied by the reverberation of a dragon’s chant: "Roar——"

If weren’t for the seal set up previously by the Fish Demon, preventing any sound or aura from leaking out, this dragon’s roar would have been enough to shake the Imperial City once again.

The five-color divine light of the Fish Demon hit the vast body of the small golden dragon. It was blocked by the sturdy golden scales, which although displaced the dragon, didn’t inflict any substantial damage.

The strongest feature of the Golden Scale Dragon was its defense. Even if the Fish Demon’s cultivation level was above it, it was entirely impossible to achieve victory in one blow.

"Catch!" Chu Liang made another move, throwing out the Golden Dragon Ball, which the little golden dragon swallowed effortlessly.

He had initially planned to free the dragon after leaving the palace and returning the Dragon Ball to it. But with the current crisis at hand, he couldn’t be so picky.

"I can’t restrain the Golden Dragon under my control alone; we must attack together quickly! Without killing him, your hopes for the throne are lost!" The Fish Demon turned back to look at the Thirteenth Prince and shouted loudly.

The Thirteenth Prince couldn’t help but grit his teeth, harbouring resentment in his heart.

He did have a secret relationship with the concubine. He had been bewitched and, once slightly tempted by the concubine, he fell into the trap and became constantly enthralled. Not long ago, the concubine even introduced him to this Fish Demon, promising that it could help him elevate his cultivation level.

In truth, he was fully aware that these people weren’t righteous, and were probably the mythical Demonic Mars beings. But the cultivation level they helped him enhance was real, and they claimed they could assist him in obtaining the crown.

And if he didn’t collaborate with them, his secret relationship with the concubine could be exposed.

The Second Prince was the firstborn and had the support of Empress Wu. Under such circumstances, the Thirteenth Prince who wanted to rise to power could only cooperate with them. His visit to the Dragon Feeding Supervisor that day was not a coincidence.

It was after receiving a secret signal from the concubine that he went directly there and let the Golden Dragon escape.

But who would have thought that this Golden Dragon would have ended up with Chu Liang after going round in circles!

Originally, after the Empress Wu’s incident occurred today, he was the first to receive the news. Although he grieved for the concubine’s death, it was undoubtedly a blessing in disguise for him.

With the concubine gone, he no longer had to worry about the exposure of their secret relationship. And the Empress Wu happened to be the spy for Demonic Mars, which resulted in a sudden plunge in the Second Prince’s status.

Among the only two contenders, if he didn’t work out, it would, of course, be his turn.

The Thirteenth Prince’s excitement didn’t last long before that Fish Demon approached him once again. It actually wanted him to seize the opportunity during the Qinghong Banquet, lure out Chu Liang, and kill him.

At this point, how could the Thirteenth Prince assist him?

As long as he did not mess things up, the position of the Crown Prince was already his for the taking.

The Fish Demon casually mentioned that the concubine had evidence of their secret dalliance - the belly band. Once this matter reached the Emperor’s ears, the Crown Prince position, which was within his grasp, would slip away.

Then, and only then, the Thirteenth Prince reluctantly agreed.

After all, he only needed to lead Chu Liang out, and as a Seventh Realm cultivator, the Fish Demon should be able to kill Chu Liang in an instant. After its action, it would flee, who would know about his involvement in this?

But to his utter surprise, Chu Liang happened to carry the little golden dragon with him!

The Fish Demon was held up by the Golden Scale Dragon, yet the shield here was not stable, and the leakage of the aura would only take an instant. Once the strong ones in the palace heard and rushed over, everything would be over.

All these thoughts flashed through the Thirteenth Prince’s mind, eventually turning into a dramatic shout: "Surrender!"

...

With the little golden dragon blocking the Fish Demon, and the Thirteenth Prince pouncing on him, Chu Liang remained calm at first sight.

In the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams, he had seen the Thirteenth Prince’s moves previously. Although he was an outstanding figure among the younger generation, he still lagged behind the top prodigies. Besides, with the empowerment of the Black Dragon Ball, Chu Liang, although not yet in the Sixth Realm, already had superior fighting power in the Sixth Realm.

However, as soon as they started the fight, he sensed that something was off.

Boom!

With a booming sound, the Thirteenth Prince initiated the battle with a vast array of purple-gold flames.

Samadhi Divine Fire!

Previously, among the younger generation of the imperial family, the standout was the Sixth Princess, who had only traces of Samadhi Divine Fire, which could only achieve results with careful use. How had the Thirteenth Prince, who was clearly less capable than his sister, made such leaps and bounds!

Without a doubt, this was the work of the Demonic Mars People.

Facing the overwhelming Divine Fire, Chu Liang’s expression suddenly turned solemn. As a disciple of Empress Feng, he felt the power of Samadhi Divine Fire more deeply.

His master used to flaunt her strength with this power, leading to death upon contact, without exception!

Facing this fierce strike, Chu Liang had no choice but to fight for his life. He gathered all his True Qi, transformed it into a Void Slashing sword, and violently swung it out!

At the same time, the Black Dragon Ball was activated with full force. A sudden storm blew away the Divine Fire covering the sky, not allowing it to touch him. However, the storm dissipated as soon as it met such a large amount of Divine Fire, barely managing to keep it at bay.

The Void Slashing sword had already fallen in front of the Thirteenth Prince.

If this sword can kill him, the crisis from the Divine Fire will be averted. If it can’t, Chu Liang will be wrapped in the Samadhi Divine Fire, and his life will be in danger.

At this critical moment, it was ultimately the Sword Qi that arrived first.

The Thirteenth Prince clearly did not expect that even with the increase in his Divine Fire cultivation from the help of the Demonic Mars People, Chu Liang’s cultivation in just one day had become much stronger than at the Immortal Sect Meet!

This is unreasonable...

Even with an extra dragon soul guard, how could he be this strong?

The Little Golden Dragon’s gift to Chu Liang was expected by the Demonic Mars People and the Thirteenth Prince, but they were unaware of the Black Dragon Ball.

Szzz——

The Void Slashing sword finally fell on the Thirteenth Prince first!

The Sword Qi was infused with holy light.

Although his Divine Fire cultivation had greatly improved, his overall growth did not keep pace. He was unable to resist the Void Slashing sword at all.

"Ah..."

His eyes were full of regret as the Thirteenth Prince fell.

He was only one step away from becoming the Crown Prince, and so close to the throne, how could it all end like this?

He had paid such a huge price, gaining the Samadhi Divine Fire, only to still be no match for Chu Liang.

Wasn’t that a bit unfair?

...

As the sword fell, Chu Liang’s heart was equally anxious.

Not that he wanted to kill the Thirteenth Prince, but the prince was desperate to kill him in one blow, putting forth all his cultivation power without any reserve. This was a rather immature tactic, showing that the Thirteenth Prince didn’t face life and death battles often.

At this moment, Chu Liang only had one choice: to go up against him in one move. If he’s not instantly killed, then he himself will be instantly killed.

In such a situation, even if he was considering the fact that he was a prince, Chu Liang had no way of holding back.

Splash!

Seeing the body plummeting lifelessly, Chu Liang hung his head heavy, looked up to see the Fish Demon had long disappeared. After his attack was blocked by the Little Golden Dragon, he shouted for the Thirteenth Prince to take over and then jumped into the pool of water and fled!

The Little Golden Dragon chased its tail and disappeared without a trace.

These Demonic Mars people have more than one way into the palace waterways!

In fact, as early as when the waterway in the princess’s courtyard was discovered, people had guessed that there might be more entrances in the palace. There was simply no time to thoroughly check all of them. Inspection mainly started from the Empress Wu’s palace and moved outward, no one thought that there was such a waterway not far from the Golden Throne.

The Demonic Mars People’s decades-long plan, the degree of infiltration into the Imperial Palace, far exceeded expectations.

Suddenly, only Chu Liang remained, but before he could make a move, the sound of the wind whistled in. Once the Fish Demon fled, the restrictions here disappeared, and his aura leaked out. It’s not surprising that someone strong in the palace would come.

But, the first one to land, dressed in a brocade robe, with a fierce look on his face, Chu Liang frowned upon looking back.

Cheng Hu.

With the downfall of Empress Wu, Cheng Hu was her chief confidant, but he knew nothing about the Demonic Mars People and had done nothing to aid in the rebellion over the years, so he was let go after a simple interrogation.

Because Empress Wu had come to her senses and exposed all the Demonic Mars People infiltrated into the palace, the rest of the people related to her were not implicated too much.

However, now that he lost his support, Cheng Hu’s status definitely wouldn’t be what it was before; he was filled with gloom.

Seeing Chu Liang and the scene before him, Cheng Hu almost instinctively shouted, "Bold rebel, you dared to assassinate a prince in the palace!"

As he spoke, he started another fierce attack!
