Chapter 159.2 : Kneel! (Part 2)
Without giving him much time to cry out in pain, Chu Ge grabbed Wu Xiao and hauled him out of the crater, one hand clamping tightly around his throat!
Wu Xiao's screams came to an abrupt halt. His face flushed red at a visible speed, terror filling his expression.
His eyes bulged grotesquely, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
He struggled frantically, clawing wildly at Chu Ge's hand.
But Chu Ge's grip was like iron forged from lead—unyielding and absolute. Wu Xiao's struggle was nothing more than futile thrashing.
"Youngster! That's enough! Do you truly intend to take the life of a direct descendant of my Wu family?!"
The sinister old man could finally no longer hold back.
Wu Xiao was a junior he deeply favored. Moreover, this was Lingxiao Ancient City—the Wu family's territory, their very stronghold.
If a direct descendant were to be killed on their own land and word spread, the Wu family's prestige would be utterly disgraced!
For great clans that prided themselves on nobility, this would be an unbearable humiliation—absolutely unacceptable!
"It seems you didn't take a single word I said to heart. Since you're so worried about your junior, very well—then I'll let you experience what he's feeling right now."
Ying Qingjue frowned slightly, her phoenix eyes narrowing.
In the next instant, the sinister old man felt as if a heaven-shaking dragon's roar exploded within his mind!
Before his eyes, Ying Qingjue no longer seemed human, but instead transformed into an incomparably majestic divine dragon!
Her radiant golden eyes were like twin blazing suns, shining with boundless, awe-inspiring divine light!
"Kneel!"
As Ying Qingjue's words rang out—vast and thunderous, like the voice of heaven itself—
Everyone present witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lifetime.
The Wu family elder—mighty, godlike in their eyes—suddenly buckled at the knees and collapsed straight to the ground!
Not only that, his head smashed violently into the floor, shattering the stone tiles as his forehead sank deeply into them!
"Stop! What are you doing?!"
"Lingxiao Guards are here! How dare you act so recklessly!"
At that moment, a series of heavy, forceful footsteps echoed through the area, accompanied by the crisp clashing of metal—armor grinding and colliding as the troops advanced.
Moments later, the crowd saw a squad of soldiers charging in, clad in azure-gold armor, towering and powerfully built, long sabers hanging at their waists!
"Stop! This is Lingxiao Ancient City! Outside of the arena, the martial grounds, and the battle platforms, no one is permitted to engage in combat!"
The leader shouted at Chu Ge, his words infused with spiritual power meant to suppress him.
Yet despite being a Sixth Heaven cultivator and using his full spiritual force, he failed to affect Chu Ge in the slightest.
Chu Ge calmly turned around, still gripping Wu Xiao by the back of the neck, as though holding a dead dog.
"Your timing is… rather convenient."
Facing more than a dozen mid-tier Heaven Realm cultivators, Chu Ge's expression remained utterly unchanged.
"C–Cousin…! Save me! He… he's going to kill me!"
Wu Xiao struggled to lift his head while in Chu Ge's grasp.
His once fairly handsome face was now smeared with blood, wretched and pitiful beyond recognition.
"Stop! Put Young Master Wu down!"
The leader—the man Wu Xiao had called his cousin—furrowed his brows deeply and shouted at Chu Ge in a low voice.
Chu Ge, however, remained unmoved. His fingers tightened slightly.
In the next moment, Wu Xiao let out another bone-chilling scream of agony!
"Such utter lawlessness! Do you really think the Lingxiao Guards don't exist?! Move! Seize him and throw him into the Lingxiao Forbidden Prison!"
The leader roared furiously, yanking his long saber from its sheath as spiritual power surged forth. The guards behind him followed suit, drawing their blades in unison.
The sound of steel leaving scabbards rang out endlessly as a chilling killing intent instantly spread, enveloping Chu Ge completely.
