Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Chapter 163 Jin Tianming: Crown Prince Xu Tianran, you don't want this either?
"Big brother, you're so cool!"

Xiao Hongchen came to find Jin Tianming at this moment, his admiration for his elder brother growing stronger. This admiration stemmed not only from his elder brother's strength in fighting against a Soul Saint, but also from his elder brother's fearlessness in the face of power, completely disregarding the newly enthroned crown prince. Such courage was truly admirable.

Jin Tianming rubbed his throbbing temples, staring at the smiling boy in front of him. He had originally intended to teach him a lesson, but he had gone too far. Xiao Hongchen was practically his shadow, even mimicking his ability to take on seven opponents at once in every fight, and even mimicking his tone when defeating an enemy: "The first one."

"If it weren't for the Hongchen family behind me, I would have wanted to do what my elder brother did just now and not treat the royal family like human beings!"

Mirror Red Dust: ???

Upon hearing this, Jin Tianming's lips twitched slightly. This child was good at being obedient, but he loved to pretend and imitate him.

"Ah Xiao, if you dare to imitate me today, I guarantee your grandpa will send you to see your grandma tomorrow."

Jing Hongchen dared to disregard the royal family not only because he was Kong Deming's direct subordinate, but also because of his own formidable strength. Although the Sun Moon Empire had many level nine soul masters, most of them were quite old. Someone of Jing Hongchen's age was considered young among them. Therefore, the royal family could only turn a blind eye to his various actions.

If Xiao Hongchen dares to imitate him, the royal family can't touch Jing Hongchen, but they can't touch you, a seven or eight-year-old child.
Hearing Jin Tianming's teasing, Xiao Hongchen fell into deep thought. He felt that his elder brother was right. Over the years, following his elder brother, he had gradually come to understand the weight of the word "low-key".

Jin Tianming:
You're quite high-profile, aren't you!

"Then, brother, why did you meet with Xu Tianran?" Xiao Hongchen asked curiously. His brother had just driven away the Crown Prince's men, so why did he need to meet with the Crown Prince alone? This puzzled him greatly.

"I'm bored. Can't I find someone to hang out with?" Jin Tianming said indifferently, completely disregarding Xu Tianran. He thought to himself, "This kind of person has some brains, but not many. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been schemed against and killed by Huo Yuhao and Ju Zi later on."

"That's so cool!" Xiao Hongchen's eyes lit up. "Big brother, I'll remember that!"

"."

Jin Tianming looked at Xiao Hongchen speechlessly. Did this kid really treat him like an idol, even wanting to learn every word he said?

Just as he was about to say a few more words, an extremely unstable and domineering aura suddenly approached. Jin Tianming looked up at the person in front of him.

"Is this the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon?"

Jin Tianming looked at Xu Tianran, who was being pushed forward by Ju Zi. His arrogance had not disappeared, but instead a fighting desire had risen. However, that fighting spirit was fleeting. He curled his lips and said, "It's a pity that this guy is too eager to break through. His upper limit is basically stuck there."

The Purple Brilliant Sky-Slaying Dragon possesses destructive attributes. Its ancestor was once a sub-dragon that coexisted with the Dragon God, also known as the Forefather of Sub-dragons. Later, due to its destructive nature, it was exterminated by the Dragon God himself.

Within the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, there are occasional opportunities to inherit such a powerful bloodline martial spirit.

Unfortunately, this prince was too eager for quick success and forcibly broke through without considering the consequences, thus wasting his great talent.

"Finally, I meet you, Jin Tianming. My Crown Prince has gone to great lengths to invite you!" Xu Tianran said with a smile, but his tone revealed undisguised anger and dissatisfaction. He was the Crown Prince, the future heir apparent, and yet he had to condescend to come to Tianfu from the Crown Prince's Palace for a genius. This was simply disrespectful to him.

"The Crown Prince is indeed very capable, but he is probably not even qualified to be my equal. Only your father, the Emperor, would have that kind of power!"

Amidst the roar, Xu Tianran's aura suddenly surged, and a terrifying pressure, carrying intense killing intent, swept across the entire area like a tidal wave. Even many students who had stopped to watch were so intimidated by this aura that they hurriedly left.

"Jin Tianming, do you speak without thinking, or do you think I wouldn't dare to deal with you?" Xu Tianran's pupils shrank slightly. As the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire, this was the first time he had encountered someone more arrogant than himself. Such a thing absolutely could not exist. There could be no one more arrogant than him in the Sun Moon Empire.

Faced with Xu Tianran's terrifying aura, Jin Tianming smiled and said to Xiao Hongchen beside him, "Ah Xiao, you leave first. Children shouldn't listen to what happens next." "Alright!"

Xiao Hongchen nodded without saying anything more. He had originally thought that the Crown Prince was nothing special, but just now, he felt a strange palpitation and sensed a dangerous aura. It seemed that this Crown Prince was hiding something quite deep.

As Xiao Hongchen departed, Mo Xie slowly appeared behind Jin Tianming amidst the shocked gazes of Xu Tianran and Ju Zi. His imposing aura suddenly burst forth, instantly crushing Xu Tianran's oppressive aura into dust. In an instant, the distorted space enveloped the four of them like a spider web.

As for the students who were watching the show, they had already been driven away by Xiao Hongchen's men. Next up was the negotiation between Jin Tianming and Xu Tianran, so there was no need to leave any irrelevant people there.

Jin Tianming leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, his fingertips tapping the armrest in sync with his gaze as he slowly and deliberately looked at the person opposite him. He said, "Crown Prince Xu, do you really think you can have me cornered once you're in the Crown Prince's seat?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Tianran glanced at the Title Douluo behind Jin Tianming, then looked back at Jin Tianming and asked somewhat uneasily.

"Is it fun without that thing?"

The crisp sound of metal snapping tore through the deathly silence. Xu Tianran's knuckles turned white as he gripped the wheelchair armrests. His eyes widened in shock, then fear, and finally murderous intent. He gritted his teeth and asked, "How did you know?"

This matter should only be known to himself and the orange who saved him with her life, while the other guards had long been killed by him.

As for suspecting the guy behind the orange, there's absolutely no need to. Jin Tianming doesn't even know him, and the academy has more than just the orange as informants. But now...
There's only one possibility: someone from this guy's family has been watching him all along, but he just didn't realize it!

For example, the peerless expert behind him.

"You really are terrifying!" Xu Tianran suppressed his fear and murderous intent, and calmly asked, "Speak, what do you want to do?"

Today, Jin Tianming told me that he definitely wanted to negotiate with me, otherwise he would have already revealed my situation.

"Then it depends on Prince Xu's sincerity. This matter is enough for me to live on for a lifetime!" Jin Tianming stared at Xu Tianran expressionlessly, his tone casual, as if he were talking about nothing more than a casual meal, completely unaware of the weight behind his words.

"Huff, huff, huff," Xu Tianran took a deep breath, lowered his voice and threw out his bargaining chip: "As long as you keep your mouth shut, once I ascend to that position, I will definitely make you a king of a different surname, and you will be on equal footing with me!"

Although he was worried that Jin Tianming would expose this matter, he couldn't help but want to be a gambler and try to win him over with this offer. He thought that by contacting those "rats," he could create a check and balance with Jin Tianming and then sit back and watch the tigers fight.

Unfortunately, Jin Tianming knew everything. Xu Tianran was indeed cunning, but he didn't like empty promises. Jin Tianming said bluntly, "I want something substantial. I think those level-nine soul tool materials from your Crown Prince's Mansion are quite good!"

"???" Xu Tianran's eyes widened as he stared intently at Jin Tianming, demanding, "You're robbing me! That stuff costs me a year's salary!"

"Then I'll just have to spread rumors~"

"Alright, I'll have someone bring him over tomorrow!"

"Then thank you very much, Your Highness." Jin Tianming finally smiled and then gestured for Mo Xie to withdraw his domain so that the Crown Prince could go back and rest.

Xu Tianran was furious, but he could only smile and say goodbye to Jin Tianming, gesturing for Ju Zi to push him away.

On the other hand, Ju Zi deliberately put on a shocked expression from beginning to end. She was actually already very familiar with Mo Xie's existence. This terrifying guy was like an invisible sword hanging over people's heads. Once someone disobeyed, he would immediately pierce them!
From that moment on, she became even more loyal.
