Chapter 297 Getting Rid of War King
Li Xianxian also heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Yu, who was locked up beside Tang Xia, suddenly shouted with many struggles, “Chu Tiankuo, you can’t do this! Tang Xia is going to die!” Seeing that Tang Xia was about to lose consciousness, War King stood up and laughed out loud. He stepped forward and lifted Tang Xia’s chin.
“Do you know what this is teaching you? You can’t live according to your own accord. So what if you are the Prince? You still end up in my hands! Hahaha, if I suck away all of your remaining blood, even the Prince can’t do anything to me!” While saying this, he shouted at the sky excitedly. Suddenly, he turned around like a lunatic, wanting to bite Tang Xia again.
All of a sudden, he felt a black shadow flash across him. War King was startled. He saw Chu Tiankuo standing in front of him, looking at him coldly, as if he was looking at something dead. He suddenly sneered and said, “What? I heard it loud and clear just now. You’re trying to replace me?”
War King’s eyes flickered and he pondered for a moment. His body had just absorbed Tang Xia’s blood, but it was still not very stable. Moreover, his body was still in pain before his blood merged with hers. If he fought with Chu Tiankuo now, he might not gain the upper hand.
His expression changed instantly and he said with a flatteringly, “Haha, Your Highness, you must be hallucinating. How could I say something so disrespectful?” He quickly took two steps back as he spoke.
However, Chu Tiankuo raised his eyebrows with much meaning. His whole face was filled with the look of disbelief. At this moment, behind him, Tang Xia struggled for a short while and eventually lost all her strength and fell down, almost hitting the ground.
Chu Tiankuo was shocked and quickly turned around to hold her in his arms. He held her by her waist gently and felt that her body was as light as a piece of cotton. He could not feel her vitality at all. At this moment, Chu Tiankuo finally panicked and his grip became tighter. “Tang Xia! Are you alright?”
However, Tang Xia’s mind was so blank that she did not have the strength to speak at all. Chu Tiankuo instantly cast a furious glare at War King before giving him a kick that made him kneel on the ground.
War King was so flustered and when he was about to say something, Chu Tiankuo grabbed his hand and make a slit across an artery on his wrist with great force. Blood gushed out instantly. War King let out a deathly shriek. He tried to break free, but Chu Tiankuo’s hand was like steel and iron, it did not budge at all.
Chu Tiankuo grabbed War King’s wrist with one hand and held Tang Xia gently in his other arm. He comforted her softly with a tint of gentleness that he had never noticed before, “Come, Tang Xia, drink his blood first, otherwise, you might easily lose your life!” Among the blurriness, Tang Xia heard what he said, but she still shook her head in disgust and refused to drink it no matter what he said.
Chu Tiankuo instantly did not know what to do. She was obviously already dying, but she still held on so strongly to her grudge. He looked around but could not find the drink he heard the new vampires made. Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind and he slit his own wrist without hesitation. Instantly, lots of blood came gushing out.
He did not even frown a single bit and placed his wrist by her mouth. Tang Xia suddenly smelled something that attracted her and she leaned forward uncontrollably to lick his wrist and suck his blood gently. Li Xianxian and Jiang Yu watched the scene unfold before them in amazement.
War King’s wound healed quickly. Seeing Chu Tiankuo focusing on attending to Tang Xia, he planned to secretly sneak out. Li Xianxian also quickly went into hiding and made herself un-present. Just when War King was about to successfully sneak out, Chu Tiankuo suddenly looked up at him. “Where are you going?”
His voice was icy-cold with not a trace of warmth. Even though he was starting to become weak due to Tang Xia sucking his blood, he was still energetic. War King froze for a moment and dashed out without looking back. Chu Tiankuo was just about to chase after him when Tang Xia, who was still in his arms, suddenly whined. The color in her cheeks were returning after sucking his blood.
When she opened her eyes and saw Chu Tiankuo looking at her worriedly, her face turned red instantly. She then thought of how he had offered to help when she was on the verge of dying and she became flustered. She quickly got up from his arms. Chu Tiankuo raised his brows angrily. “What now? You finished using me and now you’re throwing me away?”
Tang Xia did not know what to say. Just when they were caught in that awkward moment, Jiang Yu said anxiously from aside, “War King has gotten away, now is not the time to flirt around!” Tang Xia got a shock and quickly went to release Jiang Yu. Chu Tiankuo also frowned sternly.
“It doesn’t matter. He’s just an ant. There’s no need to worry.” After which, he turned to Tang Xia and said worriedly, “You better rest up now. Leave the rest to me.” Even though Tang Xia had taken in his blood, she was still weak. After all, she had a really close shave with death.
Tang Xia replied with a ‘hmm’ uncomfortably. Chu Tiankuo then walked out leisurely. When the two girls turned to look, he was already gone like the wind. Chu Tiankuo was the King after all. His power was without a doubt several times higher than War King.
War King returned to his room right away to digest the newly-injected blood. After so, he tried out its effects easily. He felt filled with power. At this moment, Chu Tiankuo came looking for him.
War King burst out laughing. “I’m not afraid of you now! The King’s position is reserved for one that has power! I’ve now gained a strong power; I don’t need to live for the sake of living anymore!”Access v ip novel. com
After which, he dashed towards Chu Tiankuo and started the fight without saying a word. Chu Tiankuo snorted and just stood rooted to the ground, not doing anything. “You don’t know your boundaries.”
He looked at War King charging towards him. War King had indeed become very powerful after taking in Tang Xia’s blood and he was able to control this power even better. However, he was still unable to cause any threat to Chu Tiankuo. He managed to stop War King with just two moves.
Chu Tiankuo broke his limbs right away. At this moment, a bunch of people barged in and bowed towards Chu Tiankuo respectfully. “Arrest him and take him to the execution ground!” Hearing the order, the guards took him away immediately.
Meanwhile, after getting Jiang Yu out, Tang Xia heard that Chu Tiankuo had captured War King and was going to kill him himself. Jiang Yu quickly dragged her there. When they arrived, they saw that the place was filled with vampires. Not far from them, they saw Ye Yifan and Katherine. Because they were too far away, they did not manage to greet them.
The execution ground was very huge, it was a round structure, like a Roman execution ground. The half-dead War King was tied to a pillar. Tang Xia could not help but be amazed by how powerful Chu Tiankuo was to suppress War King to the extent that he could not fight back. She turned around and looked at the main position. Coincidentally, Chu Tiankuo also noticed her. Both of them met each other in the eyes instantly.
Chu Tiankuo glared at her with great dissatisfaction and mouthed the words, “Go back! Rest up!” Tang Xia pretended not to see him and turned her head to the other side. Chu Tiankuo was a little annoyed and he took in a deep breath helplessly. Feeling pissed, he could only turn around and pass the order, “Time’s up, execute!”
The guard nodded and passed the order down immediately. The executioner looked at Chu Tiankuo from the opposite side and after the latter gave a gesture, he launched the mechanism.
Suddenly, a hole appeared in the pillar above. With a loud ‘Boom!’, the sun shone in. In the blink of an eye, War King’s face twitched in pain. Then, with a loud roar, he vanished completely, leaving behind the chain falling to the ground.
In that instant, the venue turned silent. Everyone was terrified. Chu Tiankuo stood up slowly from his main seat and he announced to the audience loudly, “If anyone has evil intentions to rebel, this shall be your outcome. Don’t blame me. I’m sure everyone has witnessed it for yourself!”
Everyone quickly knelt down in fear and chanted, “Long live the King!” Chu Tiankuo looked down at the people below the stage arrogantly and turned around to leave with a cold attitude. The people who were left behind were in utter shock. Tang Xia also had fear lingering in her heart. However, despite watching it with her own eyes, the resentment in her heart towards War King was not cleared completely.Access v ip novel. com
Jiang Yu also heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Tang Xia’s relaxed face. “Let’s go meet up with Ye Yifan and the rest, shall we?” Tang Xia nodded and they set off to find Ye Yifan and Katherine. When Ye Yifan saw Tang Xia, he ran towards her immediately. Feeling horrified, he examined her from head to toe. Tang Xia herself was still feeling a little weak, she felt a little dizzy being pushed around by him.
“Are you alright? Did anything happen to you when you were taken away by War King?” Standing beside her, Jiang Yu sighed and told him all that had happened. While lingering in shock, Ye Yifan was also glad that Tang Xia was fine. He quickly patted his chest with lingering fear. The few of them decided to leave the venue first and continue their discussion elsewhere.
When they arrived at the hall, they saw Chu Tiankuo standing there waiting for Tang Xia. As soon as he saw them coming, he walked over slowly and looked at Tang Xia. Ignoring Ye Yifan, he said gently, “Let’s go to my room. I have something to tell you.” Then, he took Tang Xia by her hand and wanted to take her away.
Ye Yifan immediately went up to stop him. He scowled, “Stay away from Tang Xia. She only became this unlucky after she met you. Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused her?”
Hearing what he said, Chu Tiankuo shoved him away directly. Ye Yifan covered his chest in pain. He heard Chu Tiankuo scowling angrily, “You’re going against the rules! When have I given you permission to interrupt me?” At this moment, a few elders came up and pull Ye Yifan away.
Feeling his world becoming quiet, Chu Tiankuo continued to pull Tang Xia towards his room. He closed the door upon entering. Tang Xia thought about what just happened and after hesitating for a moment, she blurted out eventually, “Thank you.”
