Chapter 404: Xiaobai's Mission: Annihilate the Sima Clan!

This is the imperial court's bottom line, and so it will absolutely not tolerate it in the slightest!

Not to mention, only by doing so can one kill a chicken to scare the monkey.

To make these sect clans and noble families behave and keep a heart of awe toward the imperial court!

On the other side.

Around the martial arena.

All the prodigies stood dumbly rooted in place.

They raised their heads, glanced a few times at the sky above, then silently lowered their heads and looked around.

Looking at the blood and water on the ground.

Their hearts were extremely tense, and they could not help but swallow.

Some of the younger prodigies with slightly weaker mental endurance could not help but lower their heads and begin to vomit.

Though their reactions differed, the shock in their eyes was strikingly uniform!

No one could have imagined.

That this Cangwu Jiang clan not only had extraordinary prodigy foundations, but its clan head Jiang Daoxuan possessed a cultivation base that reached the heavens!

Such overwhelming strength that he could blast Sima Nan, the strongest expert of Tiandou Prefecture, to death with a single punch!

From this day forth, the name of the White-Robed Sword Marquis would surely see an unprecedented surge in fame!

By then, it would not only resound through Tiandou Prefecture and the surrounding several prefectures!

It would likely reach even the ears of that one in the great Qin Wang capital!

Beyond their inner shock, the crowd could not help but feel a trace of fear.

After all, everyone knew that this White-Robed Sword Marquis had risen to fame through the way of the sword!

Yet now, he had been able to slay Sima Nan in a single move relying on his physical body alone.

If he were to employ the way of the sword on top of that, what then?

At this thought, the crowd shuddered, instantly too frightened to dwell on it further.

At the same time, deep in their hearts they felt a touch of envy toward the people of the Cangwu Jiang clan.

Having such a powerful backer to rely on, these Jiang clan members truly were fortunate.

However, such envy could only exist after the Cangwu Jiang clan weathered the fury of the great Qin imperial court.

If the Cangwu Jiang clan failed to withstand it, the annihilation of the entire clan would be the lightest of consequences.

How then could they feel even a shred of envy?

And at this moment.

Jiang Chen and the others were likewise deeply shaken, their eyes filled with longing.

Although they held absolute confidence in the clan head's strength.

The fact that he could slay Sima Nan with such ease with a single punch.

The entire process so swift that one could not even tell what had happened.

This was truly somewhat terrifying.

"So this is the fearsome aspect of nine-star combat power?"

For a moment.

In the minds of every Jiang clansman present, the very same thought arose.

They could not help but feel immense awe for all of it.

Jiang Yan was likewise utterly shocked.

With his shallow insight, he truly could not comprehend what had just happened.

Throughout the entire process, all he could see was the clan head suddenly appearing, then lightly throwing a single punch, and Sima Nan was annihilated.

He could not discern any of the mysteries within at all!

Then, thinking that his master, as a cultivator at the perfect Heavenly Being realm, must surely be able to perceive something from it.

Jiang Yan immediately posed the question to his own master, trying to resolve his doubts.

However, faced with Jiang Yan's question, Zhou Lao appeared exceptionally grave.

He discovered that although the aura this Jiang clan head revealed was only at the ninth layer of the Moon Wheel realm.

His physical body had reached a terrifyingly exaggerated level.

Just now, without any reinforcement from his cultivation base, relying solely on the extreme power of his physical body, he had been able to blast Sima Nan to death with a single punch.

Precisely because of this, unless one faced it in person, even he would find it very hard to discern the opponent's exact combat power.

Then, he shook his head: "Young master, your clan head is unfathomably mysterious. Forgive my dull eyes — I can only see that his physical body is overwhelmingly powerful. The might within already far surpasses the Moon Wheel realm, reaching at least the level of the sixth layer of the Sun Wheel realm or above. Only with this could he so easily slay this half-step Sun Wheel cultivator with the power of his physical body alone..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan was first startled, but soon a look of understanding appeared on his face.

A physical body possessing the might of the sixth layer of the Sun Wheel realm.

The clan head's strength truly was powerful enough to chill the hearts of these outsiders.

At this moment.

Upon the viewing stands.

Zhao Hu, who had been shielding Sima Xuan before him, stared at the scene before him, overcome with horror.

He truly had not expected that matters would ultimately escalate to such a point!

In his eyes, that nearly omnipotent, invincible Prefecture Lord had not even been able to withstand a single punch from Jiang Daoxuan!

It was no exaggeration to say.

Before this White-Robed Sword Marquis.

Their own Prefecture Lord was simply as weak as an ant, crushed to death by the man with a casual flick.

Just as Zhao Hu was so frightened he couldn't move his legs.

Sima Xuan, on the other hand, performed even more wretchedly.

He was actually scared into collapsing on the ground, his trousers soaked with urine.

Yet he paid no attention whatsoever to his own disgraceful state.

His eyes were simply filled with blankness.

Deep within his pupils surfaced a muddle... panic... fear, and other complex emotions.

He truly could not accept that the great mountain that had always sheltered him had collapsed just like that.

Thinking of the consequences to come, his face turned ash-gray, and he said in unwillingness: "Father, now that you're gone, what am I supposed to do..."

Realizing he could no longer enjoy the privileges of the Prefecture Lord's son, and that he most likely wouldn't even be able to leave Cangwu Mountain.

He truly felt the urge to just die.

Just then, Jiang Daoxuan withdrew his gaze, and casually collected the spatial ring that Sima Nan had left behind, floating in midair.

Even now, he still maintained his composure.

Only because in his heart—

Sima Nan, this Prefecture Lord, had never been any great enemy, and was even less worthy of becoming his opponent!

Even the entire Great Qin Dynasty was the same!

None of these were worth him keeping in mind.

From beginning to end, what he cared about was only that vaster sky.

And now, a mere locust dared to hop around in front of him without knowing death from life—simply crush it to death with a flick of the hand.

Afterwards, Jiang Daoxuan looked toward Zhao Hu and Sima Xuan.

Gazing at the two before him, he couldn't be bothered to hear any explanations.

With a casual wave of his hand, a streak of pure Yang origin power blasted forth, instantly blasting Sima Xuan to death, sending him down to accompany his father.

Immediately after, he looked toward Xiao Bai in the observation seats, and transmitted his voice using spiritual sense:

"In a bit, you'll use this Zhao Hu as a guide to go exterminate the Sima clan. Remember, your aura absolutely must not be lightly revealed. If it is revealed, simply silence them on the spot."

"Sima Nan, as the Prefecture Lord of Tiandou Prefecture, must have accumulated quite a lot over the years. You should then sweep it all clean..."
