Chapter 347 : The Special Arrangement (2)
This otherworldly manifestation of power sent a wave of terror coursing through the veins of those gathered near the execution platform. They scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives, leaving only the two prisoners chained helplessly to the ground.
"It is time to pay your last respect before our late Emperor," Zhang Fengxi told the aghast prisoners before he unleashed the ice dragon upon the two men who had orchestrated his demise.
The ice dragon, its eyes ablaze with an icy fury, reared its majestic head and let out a deafening roar. From its gaping maw emerged a pulsating sphere of energy, a concentrated vortex of pure, destructive power.
As the energy sphere grew larger and more radiant, its ominous hum intensified, drowning out the terrified screams of Liu Yichen and Xie Jianzhi. With a final, thunderous surge, the energy sphere engulfed the two prisoners, obliterating them in an instant.
The execution platform trembled under the force of the explosion. The onlookers, frozen in terror, watched as the remnants of Liu Yichen and Xie Jianzhi scattered like wisps of smoke, leaving not even a corpse behind*.
The ice dragon, its task of vengeance complete, turned its iridescent gaze towards his eldest son. Their eyes, like mirrors reflecting the depths of their souls, met in a silent communion of shared sorrow and unspoken understanding.
Xie Jianshen then fell to his knees and bowed before his late father’s ethereal form.
"Rest in peace, Imperial Father."
As if a collective wave of awe and respect washed over them, the onlookers simultaneously dropped to their knees, their voices rising in a chorus of reverence. "Bidding Your Majesty a safe travel to the Underworld."
Xie Jianshen raised his head in time to see a ghost of a smile formed around the ice dragon’s maw.
The colossal form then began to dissolve, gradually fragmenting into a myriad of shimmering ice crystals that danced gracefully in the air before melting into the surrounding atmosphere.
