Chapter 639: Successive Decapitations: The White Tiger Great Emperor Dies

Ning Rongrong's words could be called the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Ma Hongjun was once a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Ning Fengzhi had treated him quite well; not only did he put his full effort into researching his martial soul in hopes of finding a way to restrain the evil fire, but before that, to let him vent, his pocket money was likely even more than Ning Rongrong's.

When the sect encountered a crisis, he also sent people to protect him and Ning Rongrong so they could leave first, hoping that one day in the future, he could rely on his own Fire Phoenix martial soul to help Ning Rongrong rebuild the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But what was the result? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had shown him such great kindness, yet he decisively abandoned Ning Rongrong when she was in the most difficult times and needed help the most; if not for Oscar's unwavering companionship and constant encouragement by Ning Rongrong's side, she would likely have collapsed long ago.

Now, wanting Ning Rongrong to plead for him? How could that be possible?

Ning Rongrong was not someone who repaid evil with kindness; it would be good enough if she didn't kick him while he was down, and it even seemed like she was doing exactly that right now.

"Ning Rongrong, you bastard! We were fellow sect members, and I called you 'Big Sister' for so many years in vain; you are heartless and unrighteous..." Ma Hongjun roared in despair.

Oscar had wanted to plead for Ma Hongjun, and even when Dai Mubai was brought in earlier, he had made some small gestures, but he was stopped by Ning Rongrong.

For one, Dai Mubai had had quite a bit of friction with her back at Shrek Academy, and their relationship wasn't that good, so why would she plead for such a person?

For another, although she and Oscar had accumulated quite a few merits this time, they absolutely could not be arrogant because of them; helping Zhu Zhuqing was fine because Zhu Zhuqing was not considered an important figure now—although she had a marriage contract with Dai Mubai, they were not married, and she did not reach the level of Crown Princess; she was just a young lady of the Zhu Family, and furthermore, she had not attacked the Gulei Empire, so Nan Feihuang was willing to show mercy.

But who was Dai Mubai? He was already the sole heir to the Star Luo Empire; for Nan Feihuang to capture him was equivalent to taking half of Star Luo, so how could he possibly let him go?

If they pleaded for him, it would be useless, aside from being thankless and offending Nan Feihuang.

"Take him out!" Feihuang waved his hand, and soon several soldiers led the three people, whose soul power had been sealed, away.

Aside from Ma Hongjun, who kept begging for mercy, Titan and Bai He were quite tough, looking as if they had nothing to say and were willing to accept death.

Titan was naturally tough; although he was a loyal dog to the Tang Family, that did not mean he was afraid of death. For his masters Tang Hao and Tang San, he was already prepared to sacrifice himself at any time.

Therefore, from beginning to end, Feihuang couldn't be bothered to say a word to him, because Feihuang knew that trying to persuade him to surrender was useless—his heart was only loyal to the Tang Family—and putting him on trial was meaningless, because he believed that whatever Tang Hao and Tang San did was right; it was better to just execute him.

As for Bai He, he understood that he was bound to die, and now the only thing he worried about was what would happen to his granddaughter, Bai Chenxiang.

Shui Bing'er said in a low voice, "Junior Brother, Bai Chenxiang is currently unconscious in my camp. She has a history with us, and if we just kill her grandfather like this..."

"A history? So what?" Feihuang said coldly, "Bai He must die. Personally, he personally took action to poison my brother-in-law; if I don't kill him, how can I answer to my second sister?"

"Officially, when the Hagendas Kingdom and the Tianshuang Principality became subordinates to our country, it was on the grounds that they hoped we would avenge the two royal families. Their enemy, Tang San, who plotted this, is naturally the root cause, and Bai He, who dealt the poisonous blow, is the direct cause. Neither of these two can live. If I consider that bit of history with Bai Chenxiang and show mercy to Bai He, how can I answer to the Tianshuang Principality and the Hagendas Kingdom?"

"As for Bai Chenxiang, Senior Sister, you handle her."

Shui Bing'er was startled; hearing what her junior brother meant, he intended to cut the weeds and dig up the roots.

"Yes!" Shui Bing'er answered in a deep voice. Although she couldn't bear it, she knew that what Feihuang was doing was right.

This was the battlefield; benevolence does not command troops. Only by cutting the weeds and digging up the roots could one leave no future trouble.

After all, no one here was using merits to trade for Bai Chenxiang's life. Actually, Shui Bing'er's merits were enough, but the reason she didn't do so was that she didn't want to put Nan Feihuang in a difficult position; she planned to save her using another method.

Seeing Nan Feihuang execute so many people in a row, Dai Mubai was already trembling all over from fear.

Feihuang sat upright in the Marshal's seat, saying nothing, seemingly waiting for something. This atmosphere made Dai Mubai feel increasingly terrified, even bordering on collapse. About half an hour later, he could no longer hold it in and shouted, "Nan Feihuang, what exactly do you want? Give me a straight answer on whether you're going to kill me or slice me up. If you have the guts, give me a quick death. In the future, my Imperial Father and Xiao San will definitely avenge me."

He said it with great manliness, but judging by his trembling legs, he was clearly weak-willed and actually terrified of death.

That made sense; if he weren't afraid of death, he wouldn't have hidden in the Heaven Dou Empire to live that kind of decadent life.

Nan Feihuang rested his arm on the seat, propping up his head while closing his eyes to rest, "Don't be impatient, Dai Mubai. There's no need to be in such a rush to die. Whether you will actually die depends on your luck."

"W-what does that mean?" Dai Mubai asked.

"It means that whether you can live depends on whether your Imperial Father can live. You're in luck; your life is saved, but you can also save yourself the thought of having your Imperial Father avenge you." Just then, a female voice came from the sky, dignified and steady.

It was Lan Xue.

She was holding a severed head in her hand and casually tossed it in front of Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai looked closely; it was his Imperial Father, the contemporary White Tiger Great Emperor.

"Imperial... Father!!!" Dai Mubai was shocked. His Imperial Father had actually been assassinated by Lan Xue.

There wasn't much sadness in his heart; after all, in a family like the Star Luo royal house, how much family affection could there be? At this moment, he was mostly afraid. Even his Imperial Father had been slaughtered, and Tang San was likely only concerned with fleeing for his life right now; who else could come to save him?

"Hehe, as expected of my mother, doing things with such lightning speed!" Nan Feihuang stood up and laughed.

Having a mother who was both capable of fighting and decisive really saved him a lot of trouble.

Lan Xue descended to the ground and gently stroked Nan Feihuang's hair, "My son is even more impressive; even the two peaks of the Spirit Master world were defeated by you. Mother is truly honored. It is also thanks to you and E Lai and the others for slaughtering all of Star Luo's experts, leaving the Star Luo Imperial Palace's defenses empty, that I was able to charge straight in and take this White Tiger Great Emperor's head. However, the Spirit Fusion Skill of him and his Empress was indeed quite powerful; it cost me quite a bit of time."

With the White Tiger Great Emperor's head, this war could be said to have already ended.

Originally, Feihuang had prepared two strategies. If his mother's assassination failed, Dai Mubai would be of no use; he would have directly executed Dai Mubai to offer a sacrifice to the flag, thereby enraging the White Tiger Great Emperor and launching a fierce attack while his mind was unstable.

But the best outcome was to directly take his head; this way, the Star Luo Empire would be leaderless, and the royal family would only have Dai Mubai left.

In this country where imperial power was supreme, he was still very useful.

With him, perhaps he could take the Star Luo Empire without shedding blood.

Although Nan Feihuang's goal in attacking Star Luo was to destroy the country, it was only to destroy the country, not to exterminate the race. He did not want to carry out large-scale massacres of the Star Luo Empire's ordinary soldiers; it was best to focus on forcing their surrender.
