Chapter 990 - 991: Framing
"What the heck, what's going on?"
Seeing the leader of the black-clad attackers getting pierced through the shoulder by an object casually flicked by Xiao Tianyu, his body plummeting, the rest of the black-clad attackers were dumbfounded.
Dammit, even the leader can't win, let alone them. Rushing forward would just make them cannon fodder!
In an instant, all the black-clad attackers halted their steps, showing a look of 'we're just small fry, no offense, Xiao Tianyu.'
Xiao Tianyu's deep gaze turned, sweeping over them, making their hearts tremble, and they began to retreat.
One black-clad attacker spoke up: "Bro, you go first, I'll cover you!"
"Get lost, why don't you go first?" The black-clad man rolled his eyes, thinking he's not dumb enough to be cannon fodder.
He suddenly slapped his forehead, pretending to remember something: "Ah, I just remembered, my mom's waiting for me at home for dinner, I'm leaving, bye..."
"..." Upon hearing this, the other black-clad attackers stared blankly, is this even a reason?
"I just remembered, I didn't sleep a wink last night, going home to catch up on sleep!"
"You guys carry on, I'm leaving too!"
"..."
The other black-clad attackers found various excuses, each making a swift airborne escape, thinking they better leave before it's too late, or they might stay here forever.
As for the one seriously injured by Xiao Tianyu, he wore a look of despair upon seeing this, damn it, a bunch of bastards, I have no brothers like you... can you wait for me?
At this moment, Xiao Tianyu descended from the void, stepping lightly towards the lead black-clad attacker, making him wear a look of panic.
"Hey you, don't come over, I've got a trump card... hey hey~ don't grab my neck... cough cough~ I surrender... this... it's all the Eldest Prince's orders, nothing to do with me, I'm just following orders..." Soon, the lead black-clad attacker surrendered; he didn't want to die.
"Go back and tell your prince not to provoke me again, or he won't be able to handle the consequences!" Suddenly, Xiao Tianyu's voice turned icy, penetrating to the bone, making the lead black-clad attacker's body tremble continuously. He felt, at this moment, as if Xiao Tianyu was the judge from Hell itself.
"Yes yes yes~" The lead black-clad attacker nodded repeatedly. Xiao Tianyu snorted: "Get lost!"
Having said that, Xiao Tianyu tossed the attacker's body away, and the black-clad man rolled and crawled, vanishing into the night.
"Stop hiding in the shadows and watching the show!" After the lead black-clad attacker left, Xiao Tianyu coldly snorted: "Also tell Di Yun, not to provoke me in the future!"
As the words fell, Xiao Tianyu soared into the air. After he left, several figures emerged from where he stood, the foremost among them none other than Huang Cheng of the Thousand Extremes Alliance.
Watching Xiao Tianyu's disappearing figure, Huang Cheng coldly snorted: "Go back and report to the Second Prince!"
Having said that, Huang Cheng led his group away from the scene, though the recent events still made their hearts tremble; Xiao Tianyu's skill was clearly beyond what he expected.
...
Early morning.
Godslayer Association headquarters.
"Failed?"
"So many Martial King Realm experts going to encircle Xiao Tianyu, and still failed?"
Bang~
Seated dominantly, Di Tian slammed the table in front of him, coldly snorting: "You're all a bunch of useless fools!"
"Eldest Prince, Xiao Tianyu is really formidable, I... I barely faced him, and got gravely injured!" A middle-aged man, clad in black, clutched the wound on his shoulder, speaking respectfully before Di Tian: "To kill him, it might require a Martial Emperor!"
"Absurd! Just a single Xiao Tianyu requires a Martial Emperor?" Di Tian's anger soared, glaring at the black-clad man: "Where are the others?"
"They were all scared off by Xiao Tianyu!" responded the black-clad man.
"What, scared off?" Di Tian glared at the middle-aged man: "Without even fighting, scared off by Xiao Tianyu? This bunch of wastrels, how will they help me conquer the world?"
"Eldest Prince, calm down!" At this moment, the middle-aged man standing next to Di Tian spoke: "This Xiao Tianyu is young yet a Ninth Layer Martial King, his talent must be exceptional; not just any Martial King can deal with him. In my opinion, killing him will truly require a Martial Emperor!"
"What Elder Shen says is true!" Lin Qiushui stepped forward, speaking to Di Tian: "Back in the Cangye Kingdom, Xiao Tianyu killed two Great Ming Immortal Sect Martial Kings effortlessly. It seems within the Martial King Realm, no one can kill him!"
After speaking, Lin Qiushui's gaze flashed with coldness, he would never forget Xiao Tianyu breaking his arm back in the Outer Sect.
"Eldest Prince!" At this moment, another voice spoke up: "I think Xiao Tianyu is a rare talent, shouldn't be killed, but recruited for Eldest Prince's use. He would surely be invaluable in your future bid for the throne!"
"Elder Cheng, this opinion seems mistaken; Xiao Tianyu is defiant and unruly, recruiting him is as hard as reaching the heavens. As I know, the Second Prince attempted this before and was outright rejected by Xiao Tianyu, entirely disregarded by him!" Lin Qiushui firmly stated: "Hence, I think it's better to kill him!"
"That's the Second Prince being prideful!" Elder Cheng continued to speak to the Eldest Prince: "Xiao Tianyu's innate talent is extraordinary, so defiance is inevitable. If Eldest Prince lowers himself, visits thrice, I don't believe..."
"Insolence!" Lin Qiushui interrupted outright: "What status is Eldest Prince to lower himself and visit thrice, what qualifications does Xiao Tianyu have!"
"To accomplish great things, one should focus on the big picture, moreover, it displays Eldest Prince's capacity to accommodate!"
"Enough, silence!" Eldest Prince coldly snorted: "I think Lin Qiushui's words are correct. Xiao Tianyu doesn't have the qualifications for me to lower myself and visit thrice; without him, can't I ascend the throne?"
At these words, Elder Cheng sighed softly, saying nothing further, but disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"I do have a plan; tomorrow, we can go directly to the Outer Sect and apprehend Xiao Tianyu!" Qing Cang spoke up.
In the past at the Outer Sect, Qing Cang claimed Xiao Tianyu was unworthy of Ye Qingcheng, and under heaven, only Di Tian was the perfect match for Ye Qingcheng, telling Xiao Tianyu to stay away.
However, after the provocation by the Demon Sect, Qing Cang realized how laughable his previous warning to Xiao Tianyu was. Naturally, after being embarrassed by Xiao Tianyu, his hatred towards him grew.
"What do you mean?" Di Tian seemed intrigued.
Qing Cang whispered in his ear: "Currently, if Haotian Sect disciples are hurt by Xiao Tianyu leading to death, what would the result be?"
"In this case, Xiao Tianyu would violate the laws of Haotian Sect. According to the Sect's penal code, disciples mustn't kill each other, making Xiao Tianyu's act a heinous crime. Even if Eldest Prince spares him, the Sect won't!"
