Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting
Chapter 423 - 221: Lawless, Shooting Down That Old Emperor (Part 2)
In this situation, he couldn’t continue provoking. If he intentionally provoked the Imperial Family again, it would be against the rules.
He immediately spoke, "This matter indeed has nothing to do with you. The current Emperor, Qin Hao, passively resists the demons, disregarding the lives of the people. I am here to execute him. Those unrelated, step back and do not interfere with me enforcing the law!"
As soon as he said this, all the experts in the Capital City gasped. This was someone coming to kill the Emperor!
All the Royal Martial Venerables turned pale. Last time, Wei Fan killed the Martial King; if he were to kill the Emperor too, the Great Victory Dynasty’s Imperial Family would be a laughingstock to all under heaven.
The scenario of a Demon Hunter Patrol Envoy enforcing the law and killing someone wasn’t rare, but never had there been an instance of one executing an Emperor.
"Second Ancestor, this man is too arrogant, do you still wish to hold us back?"
"If you let him kill Qin Hao, how can we still face our peers across the land?"
"He’s clearly retaliating because of last time. Please allow us to cut him down!"
...
The Royal Martial Venerables were furious, murderous gazes fixed on Wei Fan.
Wei Fan mocked, "You Qin Family, being the Imperial Family, don’t even resist the Demon Fiend, and yet you have the nerve to talk about face. The common people of the world have long cursed your ancestors eighteen generations deep!"
As he spoke, he shouted, "Qin Hao, you old man, come out and meet your death!"
Qin Hao did not appear. As his words fell, a figure in a dragon robe slowly rose into the air from the Imperial Palace.
The Second Ancestor of the Qin Family’s face turned somber: "Our Qin Family has ruled for nearly two thousand years, and even the founding Ancestor God perished in battle against the Demon Fiend. How dare you slander our Qin Family like this."
Wei Fan pointed at Qin Hao and said, "Whether it’s slandering or not, you can ask this old man to find out.
With Qingzhou City fallen, General Guan Xiong and countless soldiers perished, millions of Qingzhou people fled, yet he didn’t deploy troops to suppress the demon scourge, only sending the newly advanced Martial Venerable Long Jianying to Qingzhou as General.
Guan Xiong, of the Third Layer Martial Venerable, with tens of thousands of troops under his command, were all slaughtered, and he sends someone who just broke through the Martial Venerable Realm to suppress it. If that’s not passive resistance, what is?
I couldn’t care less if your Imperial Family resists the Demon Fiend or not, but if the person on the throne dares to resist passively, I dare to execute him and replace him with an Emperor who will fight the Demon Fiend!"
Opposite, Qin Hao’s expression altered slightly: "You are slandering. Sending Long Jianying over was because no one else was available. It’s not that I am passively resisting the demon, but do you not know that on the day Qingzhou was breached, demons across all states were also rioting?"
This is an open conspiracy, and no one can find fault with it.
Everyone knows it’s aimed at Wei Fan and the Tongzhou line, but so what? Just because Long Jianying is weak, he can’t be sent to Qingzhou?
Wei Fan shook his head: "Do you think I need you to admit to passive resistance to dare kill you? I, Wei Fan, am a Patrol Envoy, as long as there’s factual passive resistance, I’ll execute you, needing no admission from you!
You think I’m afraid of your Imperial Family, needing evidence to dare kill you.
If the Imperial Family resents me, they can openly fight me. I’ll welcome them at any time. Using such small tricks, implicating innocent people, only makes me look down on your Qin Family."
As he spoke, he drew the Jiaolong Sunset Bow into a full moon, the terrifying power of the top-level Martial Venerate Divine Soldier surging, the sharp arrow seeming to pierce the sky.
Feeling locked on, Qin Hao’s expression drastically changed, knowing well the power of the divine bow in Wei Fan’s hands.
This madman truly dared to kill him, not caring about his identity as the Great Victory Dynasty’s Emperor, and ignoring the surrounding group of Martial Venerables from the Qin Family.
"Ancestor, save me!"
Qin Hao shouted, swiftly retreating.
He was only at the Second Rank Martial Venerable, and this wasn’t even mentioning a bow capable of slaying the Golden Scale Demon Venerable. Even relying on Wei Fan’s personal strength, he could easily be slapped to death.
Wei Fan’s expression was cold: "Let the Great Victory Dynasty change to an Emperor who cares for the people. This beast is unworthy of receiving the worship of the masses!"
Boom...
As Wei Fan released the string, the entire Imperial City seemed to shift, the terrifying arrow appearing to pierce the skies, shooting towards Qin Hao with lightning speed.
"Wei Fan, you overstep!"
The Second Ancestor of the Qin Family shrieked, extending a large hand to shield Qin Hao.
Though he reacted swiftly, his strength was lacking; the large hand was instantly shattered by the arrow, dispersing into energy within the void.
The Second Ancestor of the Qin Family’s expression drastically changed, utterly terrified: "I actually couldn’t block this arrow!"
Bang!
The next moment, the current Emperor of the Great Victory Dynasty, Qin Hao, in everyone’s eyes, exploded with a boom, shot by Wei Fan, leaving no remains.
Golden blood rained over the sky, golden bones clattering to the ground.
For a moment, the Imperial City, with its population of tens of millions, was silent enough to hear a pin drop, with nothing but the sound of Qin Hao’s bones hitting the ground.
Everyone was stupefied, including the Royal Martial Venerables.
Wei Fan actually dared to kill Emperor Qin Hao in front of the millions of people in the city streets, incredibly audacious.
Shentu Bao was full of shock: "That day, he wasn’t just talking, but he truly dared to come and execute the old Emperor!"
He always held admiration for Wei Fan, but now it wasn’t admiration, it was fear. This was simply a lawless guy.
An Emperor of a state, executed just like that!
"This scoundrel killed the Emperor!"
King Liang trembled all over, nearly scared to death, previously even thinking of sending people to kill such a fierce deity. It’s fortunate enough that such a fierce deity doesn’t come to kill him.
"Wei Fan, you’re courting death!"
At this moment, a Royal Martial Venerable reacted, drawing out a Martial Venerate Divine Soldier and slashing at Wei Fan!
"Those obstructing the Patrol Envoy enforcing the law, will be treated as accomplices!"
Wei Fan’s expression remained unchanged, his hand with the Jiaolong Sunset Bow instantly drew to a full moon, releasing a second arrow.
Boom!
A Martial Venerable of the third forging golden body from the Royal Family exploded in midair, leaving no remains.
The terrifying divine bow, no matter the level of the master, under an arrow, left no remains but bones.
"Kill!"
This scene left the Royal Martial Venerables with bloodshot eyes, a group of them frenziedly storming towards Wei Fan.
The Qin Family, having established the Great Victory Dynasty’s realm for so many years, when had they suffered such great humiliation? To know that including the previous Martial King, three Martial Venerables of the Qin Family had died at Wei Fan’s hands.
The Qin Family, in nearly two thousand years, had accumulated merely a dozen Martial Venerables.
"Good timing!"
Wei Fan shouted, pulling back while drawing the Jiaolong Sunset Bow for the third time.
"He’s planning to annihilate the Imperial Family!"
The Second Ancestor of the Qin Family felt a chill in his scalp, knowing that while the Qin Family wanted to kill Wei Fan, Wei Fan also intended to wipe them out.
Whether the Imperial Family fought the Demon Fiend or not, he understood more than anyone. With Wei Fan’s character, the Imperial Family’s passive stance towards the Demon Fiend warranted eradication, to be replaced with someone who fought.
The notion of emperor and royal family meant nothing to Wei Fan, who had not an ounce of reverence. This was a lawless madman.
The Royal Second Ancestor shouted: "Stop, everyone, cease your actions!"
However, he was still a step late, Wei Fan’s third arrow was loosed, exploding another Royal Martial Venerable in midair.
"..."
Instantly, the Royal Second Ancestor no longer needed to stop them. The fall of three Martial Venerables was like a bucket of cold water drenching all the Royal Martial Venerables, waking them from their furious emotions, retreating in fright.
"Quickly, fetch the Ancestral Artifact!"
A Martial Venerable roared, turning to rush deeper into the Imperial Palace, only to be slapped back by the Second Ancestor.
"There haven’t been enough deaths for you? Do my words not hold any weight?"
This Wei Fan was clearly a Killing God, someone without fear. Continuing to fight would only result in the Imperial Family’s loss.
Immediately, the Royal Martial Venerables quieted down, all looking with fear at the Killing God before them.
Among them, the youngest was under three hundred years old, and for the first time, they witnessed such a scene where Martial Venerables were like grass, just three dying without so much as a scream.
"What a pity..."
Wei Fan shook his head, slowly releasing his hand from the drawn bowstring, as long as the Royal Martial Venerables did not attack him, he would not proactively kill.
However, having killed the Emperor and two Royal Martial Venerables this time was enough.
If he were to kill all the Royal Martial Venerables at once, it would instead cause turmoil within the Great Victory Dynasty!
