Chapter 184
Madness
After an entire week had passed, everything was over.
Zhuo Fan had finished torturing every single bastard without exception, and all that remained was the scent of blood and the heavy silence that followed the storm.
Zhuo Fan stood beside Yan Song's disciple, with Arthur standing next to him and the First Prince behind him, before the exit gate.
Zhuo Fan quietly observed Arthur.
His features appeared normal... gentler than they should have been, as though nothing had happened.
Then he shifted his gaze toward the First Prince and noticed the obvious change in his aura.
He had grown stronger.
"Arthur... is he...?"
"Yes."
Arthur answered calmly as he patted the First Prince's back as though he were a pet.
"I helped him become a little stronger. As you know... he is my slave in the end."
Zhuo Fan had no idea what Arthur was truly planning with this absurd performance, but he could not deny one fact:
If the First Prince was now completely Arthur's slave...
Then that meant an enormous increase in their overall strength.
The four of them crossed the gate at the same moment.
In the next instant, the Master of the Imperial Gate rushed toward them with a terrifying aura of fury.
"Give me back my son!"
He roared in rage as he unleashed his power toward Arthur.
Arthur did not move a single step.
"Subdue him."
"Yes, Great Master."
The First Prince stomped the ground and lunged at his father with terrifying speed.
The two rose into the air and exchanged blows for a brief moment before two bodies crashed into the ground with a thunderous impact.
The First Prince landed beside Arthur while dragging his father's body by the neck.
"It is done, my lord."
Arthur smiled calmly as he observed the scene before him.
He knew exactly how powerful the First Prince had become.
After consuming the Advancement Pill, then becoming completely subjugated, and receiving Arthur's direct support...
He had now reached the Ninth Level of the Void Transformation Stage.
Without question, the First Prince had become the strongest person in the Tianyuan Empire.
"Now..."
Arthur spoke calmly.
"Why don't you kill all the guards and everyone like them?
Leave only your father... and our dear minister alive."
"Yes, Master."
The First Prince struck the ground with his hand and shot toward the Empire's men.
"Stop, Arthur! Do you want disaster?!"
Ancestor Feng shouted as he stood alongside General Dugu in the Prince's path.
Yes, they wanted the Imperial Gate's men dead...
But allowing Arthur to do it this way, through the First Prince's own hands, and before everyone?
That was something entirely different.
"My slave."
"Yes, Master."
"You have permission to kill anyone who stands in your way."
Arthur paused for a moment before continuing with a small, terrifying smile:
"And don't just kill them...
Tear off their limbs, burn their corpses, destroy their souls,
Then go to the graves of their ancestors... dig them up and destroy them as well."
A savage aura erupted from the First Prince's body.
He waved his hand toward Ancestor Feng.
The Ancestor blocked the attack with his flute, but the flute shattered uselessly.
The strike pierced through his arm and severed it completely.
At the same moment, General Dugu thrust his spear toward the Prince's head.
He never even saw what happened.
The First Prince's hand moved at an imperceptible speed and shattered the spear into fragments.
Then he raised his leg and delivered a single kick to the General's thigh...
His leg was torn from its socket.
Only thirty seconds.
Without a single change in the expression on the First Prince's face.
"Enough."
Arthur spoke calmly.
"Go to the Imperial Gate's men."
Before the Prince could kill Ancestor Feng and General Dugu, Arthur's voice rang out.
The Prince's body immediately stopped, then rushed toward the soldiers.
The massacre began.
He tore through everyone mercilessly before the eyes of all the families.
He spared no one.
Ancestor Feng and General Dugu remained where they were, treating their injuries while watching their men be slaughtered without the slightest ability to stop it.
When the Prince finished, he arrived before the Minister of the Imperial Gate, gently grabbed him by the neck, and dragged him over to place him beside his father before Arthur.
Arthur smiled and raised his hand.
"Path of Wind."
Wind gathered around his right hand and shot toward a massive boulder behind him.
The rock shattered, trembled, and then reshaped itself...
Into an elegant stone throne.
Arthur sat upon it calmly.
"Well then... why don't we do this?"
He smiled as he looked at everyone.
"My slave, I heard you have two sisters... and a mother. Is that true?"
"Yes, my lord."
At that moment, a cursed, demonic smile appeared on Arthur's face.
"Go."
He spoke with deadly calm.
"Destroy everyone there and bring me the heads of your two sisters and your mother.
You have one hour.
Go now."
Before anyone could object...
Before anyone could even breathe...
The First Prince vanished from the area in absolute silence.
Silence filled the surroundings.
Then everyone's expressions began to change:
Shock...
Fear...
Disgust.
No one knew what to say or what to do.
Yun Xing approached Arthur, who sat upon the throne.
"Arthur..."
"My lady, are you alright?"
He smiled gently, as though everything happening was completely normal.
"I...
Can...
..."
Her words faltered and refused to come out.
"Don't do it."
The two words finally left her mouth.
"Hm? I don't understand."
"Don't do it, Arthur."
Arthur looked at her, then began muttering to himself.
"Hmm... that's not it...
No, not yet...
But maybe it is...
Hmmm...
Ah! I finally found it."
He spoke like a madman, and no one understood what he meant.
Then...
The First Prince returned.
His body was covered in blood.
And in his hand...
Three heads.
His two sisters...
And his mother.
"An obedient slave."
Arthur spoke calmly.
"Now you won't be able to move... but open your emotions."
The Prince's body froze like stone.
Then light returned to his eyes.
Life returned to him.
He looked at Arthur as though seeing him for the first time in a very long time...
As though he had just awakened from a prolonged coma.
Arthur smiled.
"My dear First Prince...
Did you miss me?"
