Chapter 188

He looked up to the sky and let out a dragon roar filled with joy and dominance!

The sound shook the nine heavens!

Immediately after, those pale golden dragon pupils filled with endless majesty and cold murderous intent slowly landed on the Northern Liang Prince—Xu Fengnian, who had long been scared to the point of being limp on the ground, his face as gray as death.

"You, really want my dragon core?"

His voice was like ice that had not melted for ten thousand years, freezing Xu Fengnian's soul!

"You, really want my Jiao Dan?"

Ning Chuan’s cold voice, filled with endless majesty, rang clearly in Xu Fengnian’s ears like ice that had not melted for ten thousand years.

It also struck the hearts of every terrified Jianghu guest like the whisper of a demon from the nine netherworlds.

The voice carried no emotion, yet contained a terrifying killing intent capable of freezing souls and crushing everything!

Northern Liang heir Xu Fengnian, this budding hero who usually played with the world, appearing cynical but actually deep in schemes and ruthless in methods,

was now completely scared witless by Ning Chuan’s god-like terrifying strength and his cold, bone-chilling gaze that seemed to see through his soul!

He lay limp on the cold beach, trembling all over, his face ashen, cold sweat pouring down like rain, soaking the clothes on his back.

He couldn't even muster a single thought of resistance.

He never expected that his sneak attack, which he thought was flawless and capable of a one-hit kill,

that supreme sword intent containing the lifelong sword Dao insights of Sword God Li Li Chungang, capable of killing Land Immortals,

would be... so vulnerable before this black Jiao Long!

It didn't even manage to damage the opponent’s scales in the slightest before being easily reflected back by that bizarre and unpredictable divine ability!

And it had caused the death of Jian Jiu Huang, who was loyal to him and like family!

Fear!

Boundless fear, like a cold tide, instantly drowned his entire mind!

He could clearly feel that the cold, bone-chilling killing intent radiating from Ning Chuan was so real, so... fatal!

He had no doubt that with just one thought from this Jiao Long, he would immediately follow in Jian Jiu Huang’s footsteps, soul and spirit destroyed, leaving not even bones behind!

Before absolute power that transcended mortal understanding, his so-called wit and schemes appeared so ridiculous and pale.

He opened his mouth, wanting to beg for mercy, wanting to use his status as the Northern Liang heir and the three hundred thousand Northern Liang iron cavalry behind him to threaten.

But, under Ning Chuan’s cold gaze, which looked down upon ants like a god,

he found that he didn't even have the strength to utter a single syllable!

His throat felt as heavy as if it had been filled with lead!

An unprecedented sense of powerlessness and despair enveloped his entire body.

Ning Chuan looked at Xu Fengnian’s terrified, pathetic appearance, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

A cold, disdainful sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

With just this bit of courage and character, you dare to covet my Jiao Dan? You dare to plot against me?

Simply... ignorant of life and death!

If it weren't for the fact that his cheap father still had some utility value, he would have crushed him to death right now as a warning to others!

He couldn't be bothered to waste more words on such an ant.

His pale golden dragon eyes slowly swept toward the tens of thousands of Jianghu guests who were already scared silent and didn't dare to breathe.

Their faces were filled with terror, awe, and a trace of undisguisable curiosity and... greed?

Ning Chuan took in everyone’s expressions, and the sneer in his heart deepened.

He knew that today’s events would surely spread across the world like a prairie fire.

He wanted to use this opportunity to completely establish the supreme majesty of himself and Taohuadao!

Ning Chuan’s voice was cold and majestic, each word striking the hearts of the crowd like a heavy hammer:

"You all, listen clearly to me!"

"I do not wish for today’s events to happen a second time! Anyone who dares to covet my possessions or offend the majesty of Taohuadao will be killed without mercy!"

"After you return, help me pass a message to that so-called Northern Liang King Xu Xiao!"

"Tell him, within seven days, if he does not come to my Taohuadao in person to kowtow and plead guilty, and offer sufficient sincerity and compensation,"

"then his precious son Xu Fengnian will have... only a dead end!"

"I, say what I mean! There is no falsehood!"

Before the words had even faded!

Ning Chuan’s massive Jiao Long body flicked its tail casually!

An invisible force, containing vast demonic power, instantly swept up Xu Fengnian, who was lying limp on the ground!

Then, like throwing trash, he flung him fiercely toward the distant sea!

Xu Fengnian let out a shrill scream, his body uncontrollably tracing a long parabola in the air.

Finally, with a "plop," he was accurately hung on a bare, giant reef more than ten miles away from Taohuadao, its top flattened by the aftermath of the battle!

That reef was surrounded by the sea on all sides, with not a blade of grass growing, like a lonely grave in the sea.

Xu Fengnian was bound to the top of the reef by an invisible demonic force, his limbs stretched out into a "big" shape, unable to move.

He could only be exposed to the scorching sun and the bone-chilling seawater!

Every day as the tide rose and fell, the seawater would submerge most of his body, letting him experience the fear and cold of drowning.

When the sun was high, he would feel the searing pain and thirst of his skin being burned.

Unable to live, unable to die!

This was a torture a hundred times more cruel than direct death!

"Ah—!!! Evil creature! Demon dragon! You will not die well! My father will never let you go! He will lead thirty thousand Northern Liang iron cavalry to flatten your Taohuadao and tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

"If you have the guts, kill me now! Kill me! Why torture me like this?!"

Xu Fengnian felt the pain like ten thousand ants biting his heart and a thousand knives slicing his body, along with boundless despair and humiliation.

He couldn't help but let out shrill screams and venomous curses.

When had he ever suffered such torture? He was the dignified Northern Liang heir!

However, Ning Chuan just glanced at him coldly, his eyes filled with disdain and indifference.

He tapped his dragon claw lightly in the void!

An invisible demonic force transformed into a sharp blade, instantly cutting off Xu Fengnian’s tongue!

Bringing his shrill screams and venomous curses to an abrupt end!

He could only make some vague "woo-woo" sounds, suffering in endless pain and despair!

This was the price for provoking the majesty of the Jiao Long Island Master!

The Jianghu guests watching from the shore, seeing this scene, all shuddered and were scared silent!

Their faces were pale, cold sweat flowed, and they didn't even dare to breathe!

They never expected that this Jiao Long Island Master would use such cruel and tyrannical methods to punish the arrogant Northern Liang heir!

This was simply... killing the chicken to warn the monkey!

And the one killed was a "golden chicken" with an extremely noble status!

They had no doubt that if Northern Liang King Xu Xiao did not come to plead guilty after seven days,

then this once-glorious Northern Liang heir would truly... sink to the bottom of the sea, his soul scattered!

For a time, the gazes everyone cast toward Ning Chuan were filled with deeper fear and awe!

They no longer dared to have any slight contempt or luck.

After doing all this, Ning Chuan’s cold gaze slowly moved away from the trembling Jianghu guests.

It fell upon the two demon sect enchantresses in the crowd—Zhu Wang Yuyan and Wan Wan—who had always appeared quite "sensible" and even helped out at critical moments.

A trace of imperceptible playfulness flashed in his pale golden dragon eyes.

Then, he nodded gently and kindly toward them.

As if to say: You two are quite good, I have remembered you.

Zhu Wang Yuyan and Wan Wan, the master and disciple, felt Ning Chuan’s slightly kind gaze.

Both were overjoyed, as sweet as if they had eaten honey!

They hurriedly bowed respectfully to Ning Chuan, performing a formal greeting, and said in voices as charming as bone-deep:

"Zhu Wang Yuyan (Wan Wan) of the Yin Gui Sect, pays respects to the Jiao Long Island Master!"
