Chapter 292: And Arrogant

Great King wouldn't know the shock he gave others; today he's just performing normally, not exerting himself too much, and he's still distractedly observing the battle situation.

Lingyin's already heaven-defying move cleared a path for him; today this city has already been half captured.

The other half just depends on how many Xiongnu are hiding inside the city.

Martial Prestige borders the Xiongnu; after they seized Martial Prestige, they first looted here in a round, finally leaving fifty thousand troops temporarily stationed, letting the armies that had fought Great Jin stay here as labor troops.

Who would have thought they'd run into the Great King.

This is far more than the people of Merged Prefecture before; seeing the street fighting after entering the city, the Great King was delighted by the masses of Xiongnu.

That's tens of thousands, right? Even wiping out the Xiongnu would hurt!

What a reckless brat!

The Great King instantly recognized him as the commander who had directed the archers on the city wall earlier to shoot down Lingyin and his two companions.

The Great King changed to a smiling face: "I, the King of Secluded Prefecture, Baili Jing. Are you the city's Chief Commander?"

Huyen Kun looked scornful: "Baili Ang's son? When your father was in our hands, he was very honest; he never told you this brat how formidable the warriors of the Xiongnu Khaganate are?"

"Nope~ My royal father told me to make conquering the Xiongnu Royal Court my lifelong goal." Those who know him could see that although the Great King still wore a smile, his eyes had lost all mirth.

Arrogant!

Thank you. I, the King, like people evaluating me this way. Those who have never been called arrogant are mediocre. Like you, you need character and muscles. If a fighting general loses, not waiting for the opponent to retreat but directly shooting arrows sneakily, what kind of hero is that?

You smooth-talker! Today I'll let you know: This General is Huyen Kun! The one who led the troops to surprise-attack Martial Prestige and captured Baili Ang is exactly this General! Since you've delivered yourself today, if we catch you, can we trade you for another city with Everlasting Peace? Hahahahaha~

The Great King gripped his Wolf-tooth Spear: "Sure! My worth isn't just enough to trade for a city! But this city… you have to go personally and ask my royal father for it!"

As the words fell, the Wolf-tooth Spear swept fiercely at him.

The metal of the Great King's Wolf-tooth Spear is exceptionally heavy; its front blade can easily split the hardest skull.

The heavy Wolf-tooth Spear in the Great King's hand was as light as a duster; he casually raised it and fiercely chopped at Huyen Kun, blow after blow, his eyes showing a ruthlessness he himself didn't notice.

The spear came down like a sudden storm; Huyen Kun kept dodging in disarray.

The Great King gave Huyen Kun no chance to counterattack, each strike stronger than the last.

Like shocking waves, shattering bells and tripods.

You must die!

For my father, for the ten thousand soldiers who died at Martial Prestige!

Finally, Huyen Kun had nowhere to retreat; under the fierce assault he could only brace his spear and hold.

Another two consecutive strikes, and the spear that had accompanied Huyen Kun in campaigning across Great Jin's northern territories was snapped clean in two.

Even Wei Shen beside him was startled; the Great King seemed off, trying too hard.

Huyen Kun's spear-hand began to bleed, the tiger's mouth completely split.

The Great King gave Huyen Kun no chance to speak again, directly thrusting the spear through his throat.

Clean and decisive, without a hint of hesitation.

Royal father, I've avenged half of your grudge!

"Cut off his head and send it to the Hall of Containing Chapters before my royal father's spirit." The Great King caught his breath and calmly ordered.

Tang Qian had gone completely numb; it seems the Baili Clan's fate is not yet exhausted. No matter how rumors spread among the populace, it seems rumors will always remain rumors.

In the face of absolute strength, dreams suddenly are no longer just dreams.

Conquer the Xiongnu Royal Court, unify the Western Regions' myriad states?

Tang Qian watched the Great King, his eyes almost glowing…
