"Audacious!"
"Insolent!"
"Presumptuous!"
The formidable experts of the Yao family were all incensed.
Each of them glared fiercely at Bai Zihe, their eyes unleashing undisguised killing intent, wishing they could strike him down on the spot.
"Bai Zihe, you are seeking your own demise!"
Yao Cunxiao roared out loud.
His eyes bulged, fixed on Bai Zihe, the fierce glint within them capable of rivaling the midday sun.
"Do you know what you are doing?"
"Do you know who this person before you is?"
In his fury, Yao Cunxiao bombarded him with questions, his voice like thunderous roars that made one's ears tingle: "He is a prince of Great Xia!"
"You harbor killing intent towards him… this is like trying to pierce a hole in the sky!"
"Such a catastrophic disaster…"
"Not only will you die, but your entire nine generations of kin will perish, and all of us present will be buried with you!"
The more Yao Cunxiao spoke, the more he trembled with fear, and the more his anger surged, his eyes almost spewing fire.
But Bai Zihe…
Stared at him coldly, with a hint of disdain: "So, this is your reason for treating my Seventh Senior Sister like an object to be traded?"
Upon hearing this.
Yao Ke'er's entire body trembled.
Yes.
Her father had never fulfilled his duties as a father.
Perhaps…
For the Yao family, he was an acceptable patriarch.
But for her deceased mother, Yao Cunxiao was definitely not a dutiful husband, and for her, Yao Ke'er, he was absolutely not a dutiful father!
Yet Yao Cunxiao became even more enraged: "Bai Zihe, the affairs of my Yao family are not for an outsider like you to meddle in!"
Bai Zihe met his gaze, his eyes as cold as water: "My Seventh Senior Sister's affairs are my affairs. As long as she is unwilling…"
"Even as her father, you cannot force her!"
These words undoubtedly struck another nerve in Yao Cunxiao, causing him to fly into a rage.
"Guards!"
"Capture this arrogant fool!"
Yao Cunxiao roared frantically, like thunder erupting.
The Yao family experts immediately stirred.
"No!"
Yao Ke'er suddenly cried out in alarm, rushing forward to shield Bai Zihe.
She was truly terrified.
This time, for the marriage alliance between the Yao family and the Prince's estate, Yao Cunxiao naturally wanted to showcase the Yao family's strength and not be looked down upon.
The experts he had brought were the pillars of the Yao family.
Each of them had surpassed the Grandmaster realm.
Dozens of them combined…
It was no exaggeration to say they could almost annihilate a mid-sized kingdom!
If these individuals were to attack Junior Brother all at once, the outcome would be unimaginable, and even more so, unbearable!
"You rebellious daughter, get out of the way!"
Yao Cunxiao bellowed in fury, preparing to step forward and seize Yao Ke'er.
But before he could make a move.
Bai Zihe pulled Yao Ke'er behind him, his voice… incredibly gentle, yet with an undeniable authority: "Seventh Senior Sister, just watch."
"Today…"
Bai Zihe surveyed the assembled experts, his expression unwavering, as if seeing them as nothing: "Even if mountains and rivers lie between us, even if the heavens and earth turn upside down…"
"Though a thousand men stand in my way, I shall press on!"
"I will protect you completely!"
A surge of emotions washed over Yao Ke'er.
Comfort, joy, gratitude…
All culminating in boundless… resolve!
No matter the outcome today, she would no longer be alone.
On the path of her future life, Junior Brother would undoubtedly accompany her.
"Hahahaha…"
Yao Cunxiao erupted in a furious laughter, unable to suppress the killing intent that had been building in his chest for so long, which now burst forth completely: "Take him down!"
"Whoosh!"
"Swish swish!"
"Rustle rustle…"
As Yao Cunxiao's words fell,
The experts no longer hesitated and attacked.
In an instant, the opulent hall was filled with chilling killing intent.
Some cold as the abyss.
Some violent as a raging storm.
Some scorching as fire.
With a hundred forms, raging in a thousand ways.
Ultimately…
They converged into a vortex of killing intent that sought to devour everything, surging towards Bai Zihe.
Before the attacks arrived, the killing aura preceded them!
The next moment.
Dozens of experts had also reached Bai Zihe.
Some with overwhelming presence.
Some appearing silently.
Some arriving like a fleeting glimpse of a swan.
From the front, the back, the left, the right, from mid-air, from above…
There was not a single blind spot, nor any chance for Bai Zihe to escape, let alone resist!
The vast power…
Yao Ke'er, merely touched by the residual energy, felt an immense pressure, making it difficult to breathe!
Suddenly.
A warm current flowed from her right hand, instantly spreading throughout her limbs and bones.
Yao Ke'er immediately felt the pressure vanish!
This filled her with surprise and joy.
Junior Brother's methods… were indeed endless and mysterious.
"Rumble!"
The next moment, Bai Zihe released half of his aura for the first time since reaching the Divine Transformation realm!
An aura vast and boundless, ancient and unchanging, descended instantly.
The experts standing close by all trembled, their faces turning ashen.
It was as if…
They were facing demons from prehistoric times, savage beasts from the primordial era!
Just the aura was enough to extinguish any thought of resistance, let alone the will to fight or hunt!
At this moment, even with their Nascent Core realm strength, they could only unleash a tenth or two of it!
It was as if an ordinary person, facing a tiger, would instinctively find their legs weak and their body powerless, completely devoid of the courage to fight it.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, Bai Zihe unleashed a palm strike.
The experts in front immediately fell like shooting stars, all flying backward, crashing against the walls, landing on the ground, and dying with blood flowing from their seven orifices.
Then.
Bai Zihe turned and swept a leg.
The experts behind them followed suit.
Undoubtedly, none of them could withstand even a single blow.
This was also quite normal.
Bai Zihe's strength had already greatly increased after consuming the Blood of Hell, coupled with his constant refinement and progress during this period.
Dealing with some Nascent Core realm cultivators was a piece of cake, with no pressure at all.
This scene stunned everyone.
Bai Zihe, terrifying indeed!
The Yao family's experts, all combined, were no match for him in even one encounter. How could they possibly fight?
"Whoosh!"
Just as Yao Cunxiao's expression turned grim and he was unsure of what to do, he suddenly felt his body lighten, as he was grasped by the neck and lifted by Bai Zihe.
"Do you now…"
Bai Zihe's cold eyes held no pity as he said coldly, "Still want to protect that old turtle?"
Old turtle…
Bai Zihe was undoubtedly the first to dare to speak of Prince Zhuge Zhaonan in such terms!
Yao Cunxiao's eye twitched, and he let out a cold snort, "Bai Zihe, you have already killed the Crown Prince, sealing your own doom."
"The imperial family will not let you go!"
The imperial family?
Bai Zihe sneered repeatedly.
No matter what family dared to stand in his way, they would all be crushed!
"Whoosh!"
"Rumble!"
At this moment, hurried yet rhythmic footsteps could be heard from outside.
Everyone followed the sound and looked.
Good heavens.
It was a troop of heavily armed Imperial Guards!
Their numbers were no less than a hundred.
The silver armor and battle suits on their heads and chests were forged from special materials.
Not only were they as soft as normal cloth, but they could also defend against most firearms and the energy attacks of most martial arts masters!
Furthermore…
These individuals exuded a powerful and robust aura, with the lowest being at the Half-step Grandmaster level, and Grandmasters being as numerous as reeds.
Even several squad leaders had reached the peak of Grandmaster, or even entered the Nascent Core realm!
"Whoosh!"
The Imperial Guards had a clear objective.
Upon entering, they immediately surrounded Bai Zihe.
A cold glint flashed in Bai Zihe's eyes.
He tossed Yao Cunxiao aside, turned to face all the Imperial Guards, and made no attempt to conceal the surging killing intent within him.
"Those who don't wish to die, get out of my way!"
