Chapter 353

She glared at Brother Ning Chuan, her voice trembling slightly yet still brimming with defiance and resolve:

"Demon Dragon! Though my father erred, his crime does not deserve death!"

"You've already slain hundreds of thousands of Beiliang soldiers, destroyed my Beiliang foundation— isn't that enough?!"

"What grudge, what hatred do you hold? Come after me! Don't harm my father!"

This person was none other than Xu Xiao's second daughter, the remarkable "Second Rank of the Vermilion Rankings" in both talent and martial skill—Xu Weixiong!

Brother Ning Chuan looked at the pitiful woman before him, fiercely protective of her father yet ignorant of the truth, and a wry smile curled on his lips.

He spoke calmly: "Xu Weixiong, I find myself somewhat curious."

"Do you know how your so-called 'father' treated your real father back then?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Weixiong froze, then shouted angrily: "You… what nonsense are you spouting?!"

"My father is my father! What real father?!"

Brother Ning Chuan let out a soft laugh, his voice thick with endless mockery and pity:

"Heh, it seems you've been kept in the dark all these years— you truly knew nothing."

"Very well. Today, I shall show mercy and let you die with clarity."

"Your real father was none other than Ye Baikui, the Military Saint of the former Western Chu!"

"It was your beloved 'father,' Xu Xiao, who led the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to crush the Western Chu capital and personally severed Ye Baikui's head!"

"Then he took you, still in swaddling clothes, from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and adopted you as his foster daughter, raising you with care."

"All so that one day, you would become a pawn in his scheme to control the world!"

"You've recognized your father's killer as your own for decades— how tragic, how pitiful!"

"No! Impossible! You're lying! You're sowing discord!"

Hearing Brother Ning Chuan's words, Xu Weixiong was struck as if by lightning, her whole body trembling violently, her fair face draining of all color, turning deathly pale!

She could not believe it— the father she had revered like a god… was he truly her father's murderer?!

This… this was too absurd, too cruel!

Instinctively, she turned her head, her eyes filled with disbelief and anguish, toward her father, Xu Xiao.

And all others present—whether Nangong Puye and Li Hanyi in the distance, Gai Nie and Jing Tianming inside the carriage, or the hidden Shaoshao Siming of the Yin-Yang School—

Upon hearing this earth-shattering secret, their hearts were shaken by tidal waves!

They had never imagined that Xu Xiao, the Beiliang King, harbored such vile, despicable, and monstrous past deeds!

First he adopted the child of his enemy, now he adopted the daughter of his enemy!

The title "Butcher" truly… lived up to its name!

His heart was cold, his methods ruthless— utterly horrifying!

At that moment!

Another small figure, brimming with boundless hatred, burst forth from the Wang Fu!

In her hand, she clutched an ancient, simple divine sword; her eyes, once filled with innocence and mirth, now burned with furious flames and overwhelming vengeance!

It was Jiang Ni, the former princess of the fallen Western Chu, whom Xu Xiao had brought back to Beiliang to raise!

She pointed at Xu Xiao, her voice shaking violently with rage, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes:

"Xu Xiao! You demon! You butcher!"

"My father, my mother, the millions of subjects of Western Chu—all died beneath your blade!"

"You killed my entire family, destroyed my homeland, then brought me here to the Wang Fu, calling me a servant but treating me as a hostage, subjecting me to every humiliation and torment this world could offer!"

"Today, I shall… I shall kill you with my own hands! To avenge my dead kin and the fallen people of my nation!"

She screamed out her accusations, her national and familial hatred exploding fully in this moment!

Xu Weixiong and Jiang Ni—two women both burdened with blood-deep vengeance.

Now, both fixed their eyes, filled with endless hatred, upon the man they had once seen as "father" or "enemy."

They questioned, they roared, waiting for his answer.

Yet the Beiliang King, Xu Xiao, facing the accusations and denunciations of his two daughters,

remained… silent.

On his aged face appeared profound exhaustion… and a trace of guilt?

He knew his life had been filled with too many sins, too much slaughter.

In the end, retribution had come.

Brother Ning Chuan watched this tragicomic scene before him, his expression utterly unmoved.

His cold gaze swept over Xu Weixiong and Jiang Ni, his voice calm as he spoke:

"Do you wish to seek revenge?"

"Submit to me, and I shall grant you the chance to kill him with your own hands."

Upon hearing this, Xu Weixiong and Jiang Ni both trembled violently!

They exchanged glances, and in each other's eyes, they saw resolve… and hope!

They knew that with their current strength, they could never kill Xu Xiao, the former "Butcher."

Only by harnessing the power of this godlike demon-dragon could they ever hope for revenge!

Without hesitation, they both knelt before Brother Ning Chuan, their voices firm:

"We submit!"

Brother Ning Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

With a thought, he released the demonic energy binding Xu Xiao.

Then, in a cold voice, he pronounced his final… fate:

"Xu Xiao, your time of death has arrived."

"Enjoy your final... suffering."

Before the words had even faded!

Xu Weixiong and Jiang Ni, like two vengeful female leopards, simultaneously let out a delicate cry filled with endless hatred!

They unleashed the martial arts of their entire lives, launching a frenzied assault upon that man who had once made them both respect and fear, yet also hate and dread!

A cruel and inhumane, yet deeply satisfying, massacre thus began!

Xu Xiao, this former "Human Butcher," having lost all his power and facing the frenzied attacks of two daughters bearing deep blood feuds against him.

Had absolutely no power to resist!

The flesh and blood upon his body were torn apart inch by inch!

His bones were snapped one by one!

Finally, amidst endless pain and regret, he drew his last breath!

Died... in a most miserable manner!

Brother Ning Chuan, watching this scene before his eyes, felt the anger that had risen due to the Northern Liang Wang Fu's repeated provocations finally dissipate somewhat.

The moment Xu Yanbing had acted against him, the fate of the Northern Liang Wang Fu on this day had already been sealed!

This is the price for offending the Dragon King of the East Sea...!

And the martial artists watching from afar, seeing that generation's Human Butcher Xu Xiao end up in such a miserable state.

Were all filled with endless shock and daze, along with a trace of... sorrow for the fox upon the rabbit's death?

400 They never expected that this Northern Liang King, who once held supreme power in the court and shook the world, would end his sinful yet legendary life in such a manner.

They could only turn it into a helpless sigh.

Immediately, they dared not linger for even a moment, scattering away like a tide.

Fearing they might anger that unpredictable, decisive killer, the Dragon King of the East Sea, and invite death upon themselves.

After today, there will likely be no one in the world who dares to provoke this terrifying existence lightly.

Inside the Northern Liang Wang Fu.

Brother Ning Chuan looked at the two peerless women who, though having achieved their great revenge, still appeared somewhat lost.

He did not offer much comfort.

He knew that some wounds require time to heal slowly.

He merely condensed two drops of pure dragon blood once more, bestowing them upon Xu Weixiong and Jiang Ni respectively.

To cleanse their pores and marrow, and elevate their cultivation base.

Then, he spoke to Xu Weixiong: "From this day forward, you shall be the new master of this Northern Liang Wang Fu."

"I, the Seat, order you to gather the remaining forces of Northern Liang and seize control of the entire Northern Liang Circuit in the shortest time possible."
