Chapter 583 - Terrorized Masses

Yang Qi’s actions had terrorized the masses to the point where no one dared to step forward to fight him. He had a divine ability that allowed him to kill people with a single word, and at the moment everyone was busy trying to wrap their minds around that. As for Princess Jadefall, her eyes were glittering with delight.

These war games had originally been held for the two armies to stage a large-scale contest, yet Yang Qi had single-handedly routed Proud Warpatience’s forces. Proud Warpatience had endless numbers of top experts working for him, including plenty of people whose cultivation level vastly surpassed Yang Qi’s, yet not even they dared to make a move against him.

Yang Qi had just wiped out nearly the entire Ninja Division, striking a major blow against the army as a whole. In fact, their morale was so low it was almost nonexistent, making it nearly impossible for them to hold their own in a fight. If looks could kill, then Proud Warpatience’s gaze would have burned Yang Qi out of existence where he stood.

“Who dares to step forward?” Yang Qi taunted. “Anyone?” He had made a huge impression, and was taking every opportunity to needle the opposing army. In some ways, it was reminiscent of his days in the mortal world, when he single-handedly vanquished an immense fiendslave battalion and subsequently used their corpses to fortify his kingdom. Even to this day, not all of those corpses had been fully refined.

And he was far stronger now than he had been in those days.

He was going all out in his attempt to piss Proud Warpatience off, and hopefully learn a bit more about him by doing so.

After calling out some more taunts, and seeing no one step forward, Yang Qi laughed coldly. “I honestly can't believe that scum like you would dare to challenge the imperial clan. Whether you live or die, your souls belong to the Titan Emperor Heaven. So why are you following a rebel like Proud Warpatience? Doesn't that make you criminals? You know, even if nobody else stood up to you today, I would. I’m committing all of your faces to memory, so if you don’t step forward to renounce the darkness and seek the light, then I’ll eventually track you down and kill you. Beg Princess Jadefall for mercy, and perhaps you’ll survive. I’ll give you ten breaths of time to step forward and renounce membership in Proud Warpatience’s gang of villains.”

“One!”

“Two.” Yang Qi wasn’t beating around the bush, and he wasn’t scared either. He had outright called Proud Warpatience a rebel and villain, a person who everyone had the right to punish.

Even Princess Jadefall was visibly stunned at what this ‘imperial clansman’ of hers was doing.

Yang Qi’s countdown finally pushed one of the top experts among Proud Warpatience’s forces over the line.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort echoed out, filled with volcanically destructive quintessence energy. At the same time, the empyrean winds in the sky above the immortal world parted and a figure appeared.

He was clad in a boa robe and had a golden crown on his head. Glittering on his forehead was a magical symbol that resembled a tadpole, except that it was actually a third eye, something that could grant eternally long life and protect against calamity of all sorts.
