Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

Fire Cloud City, Imperial Palace Area, in front of the palace square.

Their crimson armor was like blood, exuding a chilling and menacing aura.

Thousands of Fire Cloud Army soldiers, heavily armed with spears and wielding chilling iron shields, stood majestically like crimson mountains.

The chilling atmosphere was so palpable that ordinary people would be terrified at the mere sight of it.

This elite force, led by the Emperor of the Fire Cloud Kingdom, was covered in armor and their weapons gleamed in the sun, resembling an iron torrent!

The blazing sun beat down, and the crimson armor reflected its intense light.

The entire army was like a torrent of flames burning on the ground, determined to incinerate all invading enemies.

Before the battle formation, the warriors of Fire Cloud City stood firm like towering mountain peaks.

Second-rate and first-rate martial artists are tall and imposing, with sharp eyes and an aura as ferocious and unrestrained as a tiger.

Five more martial artists, whose aura resembled that of the Seven Killing Stars, stood majestically at the front of the formation.

The immense power and murderous aura emanating from them caused the entire plaza in front of the palace to suddenly sink, as if it were being crushed by Mount Tai!

However, he was faced with thousands of Fire Cloud Army soldiers lying in ambush before him.

And a formation composed of high-level combatants such as martial artists and martial masters,

Qin Muyuan, however, seemed completely oblivious to the oppression, strolling leisurely into the square in front of the palace.

"So you are Qin Muyuan?"

Upon entering the square in front of the palace, a man dressed in a fiery red court robe stepped forward from the crowd to greet them.

This man's skill level is probably that of a first-rate martial artist.

It's said to be approximate because even Qin Muyuan couldn't be sure of his true level.

His strength was indeed at the level of a first-class martial artist.

However, the aura he gave Qin Muyuan was only like that of someone who had just stepped into the threshold of a second-rate martial artist, completely lacking the feeling he had when facing second-rate martial artists before.

The man in the fiery red robe stepped out of the crowd, slightly raised his head, and said:

"Qin Muyuan, you are a strong person."

"And for a strong person like you, His Majesty the Emperor is willing to give you a chance to repent and reform!"

"If you are willing to bow your head and apologize now, and are willing to submit to the court in the future, His Majesty will be willing to show leniency and forgive your mistakes..."

As the warrior in the fiery red robe spoke, the group of warriors and martial artists behind him gripped their weapons tightly, ready to kill this fool who dared to step forward.

Although His Majesty the Emperor once said that as long as Qin Muyuan was willing to submit to the court, His Majesty would spare him.

But no martial artist would take this seriously; they would only consider it a statement made by the emperor to show that he was good at using talent.

after all.

Qin Muyuan dared to kill officials, prefectural commanders, and governors; he even went so far as to kill his way to Huoyun City.

Did you manage to get him to give up and submit to the court just by talking?

Even a fool could tell that it was impossible!

However... even these martial artists and masters didn't expect that someone would actually take it seriously!

However, when they saw that the person in question was indeed Song Zizhang, all the martial artists were no longer surprised.

Because this Song Zizhang was a member of the imperial family.

Although he had reached the level of a first-class martial artist and could project his strength outwards.

But all of that was achieved through drugs. In terms of actual combat ability... calling him trash wouldn't be an exaggeration.

In the past, neither top-tier martial artists nor martial arts masters wanted to antagonize Song Zizhang.

It wasn't because he was powerful, but because he was a relative of the emperor, with the current emperor standing behind him.

Song Zizhang, who had been pampered since childhood, thought that it was because he was powerful and that everyone was wary of him that no one dared to antagonize him.

And that made me feel even more awesome.

Thus, they ended up behaving like dogs, unable to even understand the situation, yet daring to bark at Qin Muyuan.

Despite this, no one tried to stop Song Zizhang.

Because they also harbored a glimmer of hope:

What if Mu Yuan agrees?

Now these martial artists and masters know about Qin Muyuan's killing of Lin Jiuye.

This shows that Qin Muyuan's strength is at least at the powerful level among martial artists.

Faced with such an enemy, the best course of action is to avoid war if possible.

Otherwise, one wrong move could mean certain death!

Moreover, based on their thinking, there's a real possibility that Qin Muyuan might agree.

After all, Qin Muyuan refused to be recruited. Did he intend to fight against the formidable fighting force of the entire Fire Cloud Kingdom all by himself?

This is just... way too arrogant, isn't it?

Meanwhile, Qin Muyuan, who had just stepped into the square in front of the palace, looked quite dissatisfied upon hearing Song Zizhang's words.

He had assumed that Song Zizhang had stepped forward to give him some pre-battle rhetoric before the two armies clashed.

This creates a battlefield atmosphere, allowing him to have a satisfying killing spree.

If that were the case, Qin Muyuan might be able to let Song Zizhang off the hook after hearing his account of the battle.

Let him return to his army first, then I'll charge in and kill him.

As a result... this birdman just mumbled this one string of gibberish.

Zzzzz!

The sword was drawn from the bone nail, and a sword's cry resounded throughout the entire square in front of the palace.

Song Zizhang's words came to an abrupt end, and his head fell to the ground amidst the clang of a sword.

Qin Muyuan raised his eyes and looked at the crowd behind him who showed expressions of shock.

"It was my fault."

Qin Muyuan originally thought that before the battle, these people would at least be able to say a few decent pre-battle declarations to add some atmosphere to the fighting and create a battlefield atmosphere.

"But now it seems I was wrong."

His words were heavy with sorrow, as if he were truly reflecting on his actions:

"I shouldn't listen to their nonsense; they've wasted half a minute of my time."

"Instead—skip it, skip it! They should all die!"

Qin Muyuan let out a fierce roar, and his killing intent surged out of his body like a tidal wave.

On the bone nail, the dark blue lightning and the scarlet blood aura mingled together.

It also mixed the sharpness and silver light generated by the [Chain Kill] martial art together, condensing it into a terrifying sword light that made people tremble at the sight of it.

"kill!"

Bang!

In the next instant, Qin Muyuan suddenly pointed his finger, and his whole body swept forward like a thunderbolt, instantly killing his way to the front of the martial artist!

"Hey! Come help me!"

The martial artist sensed Qin Muyuan's abyss-like killing intent and was shaken.

He roared and beckoned the other martial artists to come and help him.

On one side, he unleashed all his strength into the spear in his hand, trying to block Qin Muyuan's lightning-fast attack.

however.

"Remove your equipment!"

As Qin Muyuan's thoughts flashed by, the spear held tightly in the martial artist's hand became as if it had been coated with oil and lubricant.

In an instant, it disobeyed the martial arts master's commands and suddenly slipped out of his palm.

"?!?!"

This scene made the martial artist's eyelids twitch; he had never expected that his weapon would suddenly fall off at such a critical moment!

He was extremely experienced in combat and reacted very quickly. In the instant the spear slipped from his hand, he unleashed his strength again and grabbed the spear back into his hand.

just.

In the midst of a life-or-death battle, a moment... becomes eternity!

Boom!

The bone nail struck the martial artist like a bolt of lightning.

It was incredibly fast!

Because of that momentary delay, the martial artist was instantly decapitated!

It couldn't even withstand a single blow from Qin Muyuan!
