Chapter 259: The Mist Race Exterminated, Mercy Does Not Command an Army!

Rumble!!!

The Mist King's massive body was instantly shredded beneath Li Zhangsheng's exceedingly sharp sword aura.

Reduced to nothingness.

Li Zhangsheng stood proudly between heaven and earth, the Changsheng Sword in his hand radiating a white jade glow, strikingly beautiful.

Su Yu gave a chuckle, stepped forward, and bowed to Li Zhangsheng, saying.

"Congratulations, Teacher Li, on stepping into Marquis!"

Li Zhangsheng gazed deeply at the spot where the Mist King had fallen, and an indescribable smile crept onto the corner of his lips.

"Finally... vengeance is mine!"

That single voice carried far too much bitterness.

Meanwhile, inside the headmaster's office of Qianlong Academy.

Zhao Tianxing sat in the office drinking tea, when suddenly his mind stirred slightly, as if sensing something. He abruptly stood up and looked toward the east.

It was as if stars were ceaselessly swirling within his eyes, and wisps of a profound aura seeped out from Zhao Tianxing's gaze.

"Could this be... a breakthrough!"

A flash of surprise passed through Zhao Tianxing's eyes.

But soon, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Tianxing's lips.

"A breakthrough is good!"

"This way, I can also rest easy handing Qianlong Academy over to you!"

Zhao Tianxing smiled faintly. "This Su Yu really is a treasure. Having Li Zhangsheng follow him — I never expected it would actually resolve Li Zhangsheng's matter."

Zhao Tianxing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Though the original arrangement was made by the Slay Dragon King, placing Li Zhangsheng by Su Yu's side carried some of Zhao Tianxing's own selfish motives.

He had only wanted to try his luck, but to his surprise, it actually allowed Li Zhangsheng to resolve his inner demon.

Zhao Tianxing smiled faintly, then spoke toward a patch of empty space.

"Go take a look at the Mist Race."

"Yes!"

Space distorted slightly, and a hoarse voice came through.

Zhao Tianxing slowly walked to the window, hands behind his back, his gaze encompassing all of Qianlong Academy.

"I just wonder whether this fellow can obtain the former headmaster's legacy."

"If he does, then I'll be satisfied for the rest of my life!"

Zhao Tianxing's expression flickered slightly.

Mie Long Cheng.

Within the palace halls.

The Slay Dragon King sat quietly upon the throne. Beside him was a cyan dragon egg, constantly radiating light.

Amidst the flickering cyan glow, one could still see a small azure dragon ceaselessly swimming about inside the dragon egg.

With each swim, the dragon egg trembled slightly.

The Slay Dragon King looked at the little azure dragon and smiled faintly, saying.

"Alright, little one. As a divine beast of Huaxia, having only this much cultivation is rather embarrassing. Whenever you come out of that dragon egg, that's when I'll let you go see Su Yu."

The little azure dragon inside the egg seemed to hear the Slay Dragon King's words, swimming about frantically within the egg and even beginning to violently ram against it.

The enormous dragon egg shook ceaselessly under the little azure dragon's impacts.

As if it would shatter at any moment.

To this, the Slay Dragon King merely smiled faintly.

"Little one, you really think it's that simple to break out? Without the cultivation of a Great Sun Grand Master, breaking open this dragon egg won't be so easy!"

The Slay Dragon King waved his hand, and the cyan dragon egg vanished directly from the palace hall.

As for where it went, only the Slay Dragon King could know.

The Slay Dragon King slowly rose from his throne, his gaze drifting toward the direction of the Mist Race.

"At this hour, Third Brother should be coming back soon."

The Slay Dragon King murmured softly.

The Mist Race.

With the fall of the Mist King, Li Zhangsheng advanced to late-stage Marquis.

This was the terror of an Invincible Grand Master.

Li Zhangsheng had accumulated at the Invincible Grand Master realm for a full seventeen years.

One must remember, Li Zhangsheng's talent had earned him first place in the college entrance exam back then. Though not on par with Su Yu, he was still absolutely a top-tier prodigy of the Human Race.

Someone like this, even with a single year of accumulation, would have a far more solid foundation than an ordinary person with several years.

Let alone the fact that Li Zhangsheng had accumulated at this realm for a full seventeen years.

These seventeen years of accumulation, the instant Li Zhangsheng stepped into Marquis, helped him thoroughly break through to late-stage Marquis.

"Alright, the Mist King is dealt with. What do we do about the Mist Race?"

Li Zhangsheng looked at Su Yu.

A trace of killing intent flashed through Su Yu's eyes.

"Exterminate them."

The indifferent tone made Li Zhangsheng's brow furrow slightly.

"Though I agree, your killing intent is perhaps a bit too heavy."

Su Yu smiled faintly, looked at Li Zhangsheng, and said.

"Teacher Li, between the Myriad Races Continent and the Human Race, it is kill or be killed. Although the Mist King is dead, the Mist Race still has three Great Sun Grand Masters, and that Wulin in particular could step into the Marquis realm at any time."

"At a time like this, if we let them live, it will be a scourge upon our Human Race!"

Li Zhangsheng nodded and said.

"Killing all the experts of the Mist Race is no problem at all, but the ordinary people of the Mist Race..."

Su Yu's gaze was incomparably cold.

"We have already wiped out all the experts of the Mist Race; the seeds of vengeance have long been planted in the hearts of those ordinary people."

"When the time comes, they will be just as much a source of disaster for our Human Race."

"Back then, didn't my teacher likewise wipe out the Dragon Race from top to bottom?"

"Today, the Mist Race is the same!"

Su Yu said indifferently.

Li Zhangsheng gave Su Yu a deep look.

"Now I understand why the Slay Dragon King made you the Young Marshal of the Slay Dragon Army."

"Why?"

"The merciful do not command troops; your temperament is suited to be this commander!"

Li Zhangsheng smiled faintly, rose into the air, and slashed out with a single Sword strike toward the entire Mist City.

Silver-white Sword Qi instantly tore open the sky-filling mist.

Like divine punishment, it descended with a boom.

With this strike, Li Zhangsheng directly used his full power; beneath this Sword strike, even a late-stage Marquis realm expert of the same level would not dare to withstand it head-on.

With a thunderous roar, the Mist Race, still embroiled in internal strife, instantly became souls beneath the Sword at Li Zhangsheng's strike.

The entire Mist Race was instantly engulfed by sky-filling Sword Qi; the Qi of the Longevity Sword, even just a wisp, was powerful enough.

Countless Mist Race experts were shredded beneath Li Zhangsheng's Sword Qi.

Reduced to dust.

"Let's go!"

After doing all this, Li Zhangsheng said softly.

However, Su Yu gave a sly grin.

"Wait a moment!"

"What are you doing?"

"Taking the resources, of course! The Mist Race is wiped out — how can we not take the resources? Even though the people are all dead, they still have plenty of resources on them, especially these Great Sun Grand Masters — they're definitely wealthier than some of our Human Race Marquises!"

Su Yu dropped these words and immediately ran toward Mist City.

Li Zhangsheng was stunned upon hearing this, then his expression grew somewhat complicated.

He coughed softly, then said.

"The Mist Race was destroyed by this Marquis; I take seventy percent of the resources!"

With that, he also flew toward Mist City.
