Yang Xiao has killed Long Kui!

The Guangfu City Square fell into dead silence, with tens of thousands of spectators watching Yang Xiao, along with Long Jing, who was slumped on the ground.

The most shaken were the representatives from dozens of empires on Witch Star.

Whether it was Jino, Hai Mu, Aguda, or others, none of them expected Yang Xiao to be able to kill Long Kui,

After all, Long Kui was a powerhouse of the Emperor Level Realm!

Among the crowd, the Eldest Prince of the Flying Leopard Empire, Wanyan He, wore a joyful expression, and beside him stood Liang Bao, Fan Chen, Wang Qian, Cui Yuan, Gong Yu, and others.

Liang Bao and others had arrived on Purple Origin Star early, alerting Yang Xiao in advance about Long Kui's assassination attempt against him.

To keep the information that Wanyan He had arrived early on Purple Origin Star from leaking, they had been hiding in Guangfu City recently, only revealing themselves during today's decisive battle.

Yang Xiao managed to arrange such a powerful battle formation to deal with Long Kui, and Liang Bao was absolutely indispensable.

Liang Bao himself felt that he had helped Yang Xiao significantly, which counted as repaying Yang Xiao a favor, making him feel quite pleased internally.

Besides, the death of Long Kui was definitely a significant event that, once it reached Witch Star, would undoubtedly cause chaos.

As one of the three major pillars of the Great Dragon Empire, Long Kui's death was undeniably a significant loss for the Great Dragon Empire, causing their core combat power to suffer a major deficiency,

In the past, the aggressive Great Dragon Empire might henceforth shift to a defensive stance, no longer daring to easily challenge the Flying Leopard Empire.

In this regard, Liang Bao could be considered as rendering another significant service to the Flying Leopard Empire.

Liang Bao was now very confident, feeling that the scales in his competition with Second Prince Wanyan Ying for the throne were tilting towards him.

Wang Qian beside him asked:

"How was Yang Xiao able to kill Long Kui? Their Genetic Evolution Levels are so far apart."

Liang Bao replied faintly:

"Didn't you see the weapon Yang Xiao used?"

"Hmm?"

"That's the treasure of Flying Leopard Academy, the Three-star Divine Weapon, Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer, capable of killing an Evolver of Emperor Level Realm."

"Ah?"

Wang Qian and Wanyan He, Fan Chen, and others were all shocked, their mouths agape.

Yang Xiao had once used the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer during the hunting competition at Flying Leopard Academy to kill the steward of Second Prince Wanyan Ying, but at the time no one noticed the weapon Yang Xiao used,

After using it, Yang Xiao immediately stored the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer in his Space Ring, so up until now, nobody knew Yang Xiao had taken the academy's Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer.

Only Xinghai, the principal, and a few other individuals were aware that Yang Xiao had obtained the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer, and this information was temporarily kept secret.

During the hunting competition in Flying Leopard Mountain Range, Yang Xiao's Genetic Evolution Realm had just broken through to Empire Level Realm, but now it was already Empire Middle Level Realm.

The full power of the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer would be unleashed when Yang Xiao broke through to the Emperor Level Realm.

Before that, each level Yang Xiao's Genetic Evolution improved, the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer's power would also increase accordingly.

Long Kui and the Wildman King, along with seven or eight hundred Demon Beasts, had been fighting fiercely for one or two hours, already exhausted, while Yang Xiao seized the opportunity to sneak attack, using one move to succeed,

If Yang Xiao had immediately engaged Long Kui in a one-on-one fight, even with the Thunder Hammer, it might not have worked effectively.

The Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer was Yang Xiao's last resort against Long Kui, Yang Xiao did not hesitate to sacrifice nearly four hundred Empire Middle Level Realm Demon Beasts and four Elders just to gain an opportunity for a lethal strike.

Although this cost was heavy, now it seems it was worth it, Yang Xiao had no other choice. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Jino, bringing along several guards and staff from the Great Dragon Empire, walked to Long Kui's corpse and knelt down, bowing to Long Kui.

Long Kui had a venerable status in the Great Dragon Empire, being an Emperor Level Realm powerhouse, belonging to the Royal Family, and also managing Heavenly Dragon Academy, his influence within the country was incredibly high, second only to the Emperor of Great Dragon and the War God.

Long Jing wiped her tears with her hand, knelt beside Long Kui's corpse, bowed three times, then calmly stood up and looked at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao looked at Long Jing,

"I'm sorry, I had no choice in this matter."

Unexpectedly, Long Jing, instead of expressing hysteria, just nodded quietly,

"I understand your position, saying anything more at this point is meaningless,

Long Kui was my uncle, a pillar of the Great Dragon Empire. He came to kill you and ended up being killed by you; as far as you are concerned, you did nothing wrong, and I don't blame you."

Yang Xiao felt a warmth in his heart and said emotionally:

"Jing'er, I'm sorry, thank you for understanding and for being considerate."

"But, have you ever thought about it?

You killed Long Kui, do you think my father, the Emperor, will let it go?

He won't spare you,

If only you hadn't killed Long Kui just now, leaving him alive, I could have mediated between you two, coordinating the conflicts to some extent,

But now, I can't do anything,"

Long Jing said, her voice choked with emotion.

On one side was her lover, the father of her child; on the other was her Motherland, her uncle, her father. No matter which side destroys the other, it wasn't something she wanted to see, and both would cause her great distress and pain.

Yang Xiao was not only her lover now but also the father of her child, essentially family.

What should she do?

Could she let Yang Xiao know?

In the past, she didn't tell Yang Xiao about the child because she didn't want Yang Xiao to return to her because of the child,

her feelings were very pure, and she absolutely didn't want to use the child as a bargaining chip to bind Yang Xiao. If that were the case, she would rather not have Yang Xiao.

Now, she absolutely couldn't reveal the child's secret, otherwise, once the outside world learned that Long Xiao was Yang Xiao's child, their child Long Xiao might suffer an unwarranted disaster.

The Eldest Prince hunted Yang Xiao, forcing Yang Xiao to escape back to Purple Origin Star, and he allied with the Flying Leopard Empire to reduce the Great Dragon Empire's share of Crystal Stones. The grudge between them already ran deep,

and now things were even worse. Long Kui traveled to Purple Origin Star to assassinate Yang Xiao, but Yang Xiao killed Long Kui in return.

This feud was almost unsolvable.

As Yang Xiao's son, once his identity was revealed, he would definitely face threats that Long Jing couldn't fend off at the moment,

Long Jing couldn't even imagine what would happen if her father, in a rage, took Yang Xiao's son hostage to force Yang Xiao to give in.

In the face of Empire's life and death crisis, even Long Jing's son's life would seem insignificant.

Yang Xiao looked at Long Jing.

Long Jing was indeed not an ordinary woman; she didn't cry or make a scene, didn't sever ties with him in despair, but instead worried about the Emperor of Great Dragon attacking the Purple Origin Star in anger, concerned about Yang Xiao's safety.

This deeply moved Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao could immediately understand Long Jing's awkward situation, but he couldn't imagine the deeper melancholy in Long Jing's heart,

because Yang Xiao didn't know they had a child together.

"If your father really sends troops to attack Purple Origin Star, then the only thing I can do is lead everyone to fight back. But, you can pass on a message to your father,"

Long Jing: "?"

"Our Guangfu Clan's hundreds of thousands of people, and the millions of Demon Beasts in the forest, are not so easily conquered,

I believe he can conquer Purple Origin Star, but when he does, your Great Dragon Empire will definitely be devastated,

If he isn't afraid of Youming Empire and Flying Leopard Empire taking the opportunity to swallow up Great Dragon Empire, he can go ahead and try!"

Yang Xiao's voice became bold and heroic as he finished speaking.

Long Jing looked at Yang Xiao and softly said:

"Do you really have to fight to the death? Can't you find another way to negotiate peace with my father?

Is war the only option?

Don't you care about my feelings at all?"

Yang Xiao: "..."

Long Jing glanced at Yang Xiao sorrowfully and turned to Jino, saying:

"Lord Jino, take Dean Long's body and return to Witch Star, we leave today."

"Yes, Princess."

Jino placed Long Kui's body into a Space Ring, and with a few staff and guards, followed Long Jing away in haste.

On Guangfu City Square, tens of thousands of Guangfu Clan members watching cheered, celebrating Yang Xiao's killing of Long Kui.

To the people of Purple Origin Star, being able to kill a powerful Emperor Level figure from the Great Dragon Empire was unimaginable in the past.

Despite losing four Elders and hundreds of Demon Beasts, they still felt it worth the price,

The people on the square were exuberant with high spirits, it was the first time they felt confident in front of people from Witch Star.

Wind Eagle Elder watched Long Jing's departing figure and whispered to the Barbarian King:

"Old brother, Yang Leader seems to have quite a special relationship with that girl?"

"What's so strange about that? My grandson-in-law has such charm, it's normal for people to like him."

"That girl seems to be a Princess of the Great Dragon Empire."

"So what?"

"I think Yang Xiao is in a tough spot now. What if the Emperor of Great Dragon brings people to attack us, should the Great Chief kill the Emperor of Great Dragon?"

"Hmph, whoever comes to attack us, kill them all!"

"If we kill the Emperor of Great Dragon, we'll be killing that girl's father. Can Yang Leader still be with that girl?"

The Barbarian King stopped, suddenly turned to glare at Wind Eagle Elder,

"Old brother, you're really getting ahead of yourself. Can we really kill the Emperor of Great Dragon?"

"..."

Yang Xiao watched Long Jing's departing figure, stunned.

His feet were planted on the square, surrounded by blood,

this was the cruelty of war.

Yang Xiao asked himself,

"Can I make peace with the Great Dragon Empire?"

No!

In the depths of Yang Xiao's heart, the memory of Earth's great catastrophe always lingered, often surfacing in his mind.

In one night, billions of lives, his own parents, relatives, friends, all died at the hands of the Great Dragon Empire's army. This blood feud, could he pretend to forget it?

Earth is still under the control of the Great Dragon Empire; Yang Xiao's relatives, friends, compatriots on Earth, if they want to gain freedom and not become slaves to Witch Star people, the only way out is to defeat the Great Dragon Empire and break this shackle.

Only through battle can Yang Xiao become stronger!
