The Demonic Crown Prince

"How dare you!" Liu Guanjia finally couldn't hold back any longer, roared, raised his head, and stared at him with bloodshot eyes.

A sharp, razor-sharp glint flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, but he didn't even glance at him. Turning his head, he roared, "Take one of his hands!"

Without hesitation, Scarface San picked up his knife and, with a swift stroke, severed Liu Kai's right hand.

"Ah..." Amidst the splattering of blood, Liu Kai roared wildly, on the verge of death.

"Liu Guanjia, do you really think I wouldn't dare? Is there anything in this world that I wouldn't dare to do?"

Li Yuan then turned around, looked at Liu Guanjia, and asked with a cold smile.

"You, you... what do you want in order to let my son go?"

Liu Guanjia's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Li Yuan.

"It's not impossible to save your son."

Aren't you supposed to be the number one expert in the Imperial Guard? Here, I'll give you a chance to challenge me.

"If you can beat me, you can take your son. If you can't, I'll make you watch your son die!"

Li Yuan looked up at him and said slowly.

"You said it yourself!" Liu Guanjia was blinded by rage, and the sight of his son covered in blood only intensified his heartache!

He stared intently at Li Yuan, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"So what if I said it?"

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow and said coldly.

"Then I'll challenge you!" Liu Guanjia reached behind him, and a guard next to him handed him a long-handled broadsword.

"Have you thought this through? Challenging me means that weapons have no eyes, and life and death are indiscriminate."

Li Yuan slowly stood up and said.

"Don't worry, you're a prince, I won't kill you," Liu Guanjia sneered, his eyes already bloodshot.

"It seems that my defeat of the three great masters of the Western Wilderness is not enough to intimidate you."

Li Yuan laughed heartily.

"What kind of skill is it to defeat three uncivilized savages? If I, the general, were to go, I could still beat them to a pulp."

Enough with the nonsense, come on, I'll let you make the first move!

Liu Guanjia stared intently at Li Yuan, brandishing his sword and roaring angrily.

"Very well, then I'll be right there!"

Li Yuan laughed loudly, stretched out his hand, and grasped the long spear that had been standing upright beside him.

He dragged his spear along, ran two quick steps, and suddenly leaped up. Using the momentum of his run, he actually used the spear as a club, hurling it from back to front with a muffled "whoosh" as it smashed towards Liu Guanjia with tremendous force.

The speed of the spear strike was so fast that Liu Guanjia had no way to dodge or avoid it. Moreover, he had never seen a spear used like this before. Caught off guard, he could only raise his broadsword and use the handle to block it.

"Clang..." The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the handle of the broadsword was smashed in half from the center.

However, Liu Guanjia reacted quickly, leaping to the side to avoid the powerful shot.

"Boom!" A gunshot slammed into the ground with a loud bang, shattering the entire bluestone paving stone and sending rocks flying everywhere.

Liu Guanjia scrambled to his feet, spitting out blood. He stared at Li Yuan in shock and horror. This kid's strength was simply terrifying; he had never seen such a horrifying person before.

Clutching his chest, he was about to search for another weapon when Li Yuan darted in front of him, holding a gun in one hand, the tip of which touched his chest. With a slight smile, he said, "General Liu, you've lost."

However, Li Yuan secretly nodded in agreement with Liu Guanjia's strength. He was indeed living up to his reputation. Liu Guanjia's strength was almost the same as that of the number one strongman in the Western Wilderness. No wonder he had the right to be arrogant.

"I've lost... Do with me as you please, I just don't believe you'd dare kill the deputy commander of the capital's military headquarters!"

Liu Guanjia stared at him through gritted teeth.

"What's so great about killing you?"

Li Yuan's eyebrows shot up, and his gaze gradually sharpened.

But just then, an urgent shout suddenly rang out from afar, "King Qin, spare his life! This old minister has something to say..."

Liu Guanjia's expression visibly relaxed as he looked at Li Yuan, sneering incessantly, "Your Highness, who is this...?"

Li Yuan didn't even look to see who the person was, and thrust his spear forward with sudden force.

"Thud..." The spear pierced through his chest, the tip exiting through his back, bringing with it a string of blood droplets.

Liu Guanjia's eyes bulged with anger, his grip on the gun barrel tightened, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"I don't care who the person is. You condoned your son's crime in the street, and when the crime was exposed, you still tried to protect him. You are ten times more hateful than the perpetrator."

Not killing you would not appease public anger! Not killing you would not soothe the people's hearts!

Therefore, I must kill you!

Li Yuan, holding a long spear, shouted angrily.

"Your Highness, you've gone too far! This is the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Region, a high-ranking official of the third rank!"

At that moment, an angry voice rang in Li Yuan's ears.

Li Yuan finally turned around and saw that it was actually Zhao Shanhe, the Privy Councilor.

"Oh, so it's Prime Minister Zhao who has come!"

No wonder Liu Guanjia is so fearless; he has Prime Minister Zhao backing him up!

Li Yuan smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, you are mistaken. I am only here to convey His Majesty's decree, not to support Liu Guanjia."

His Majesty is already aware of what happened on the main street, so he specially sent this old minister to mediate and take Liu Guanjia and his son to the Ministry of Justice for a thorough investigation.

However, the facts are unclear, the evidence is insufficient, and there was a prior imperial decree. Yet, the Prince still killed Liu Guanjia. This is a disobedience to the imperial edict and a violation of the laws of Da Ye!

Zhao Shanhe snorted coldly.

"First, the facts are clear, and the evidence is conclusive. Every single tragedy involving the people is meticulously recorded, and the people of the street can all testify to it, right, folks?"

Li Yuan turned to look at the people on the long street and shouted.

"Yes, Your Highness is right. We are all witnesses. Liu Guanjia and his son deserve to die!"

"Your Highness has stood up for us humble commoners; you truly are a just and upright prince!"

"We can all testify for Your Highness!"

The surrounding people all roared in righteous indignation.

Zhao Shanhe's eyebrows twitched, his eyes narrowed, and his expression became serious.

"Secondly, I killed Liu Guanjia because of a prior bet. He challenged me, and we had already agreed that he would be responsible for his own life and death. The people in the street can also testify to this. His death was simply the result of his challenge. What crime have I committed?"

Third, I killed Liu Guanjia first, and the imperial order came later. I didn't listen to it, so it doesn't count as me disobeying the imperial decree.

fourth……"

At this point, Li Yuan sneered, "Today, I will not only kill Liu Guanjia, but I will also kill his son, that son of a bitch, to comfort the souls of those people who were oppressed, harmed, or even killed by him!"

kill!"

He suddenly pushed the barrel of his gun and threw it into the distance.

Amidst Liu Guanjia's still-breathing screams, the ancestral spear carried Liu Guanjia's body away, piercing directly through Liu Kai's body, who was tied to a nearby pillar. With a loud "thud," the spear tip pierced through the pillar, leaving a section protruding from behind, skewering the father and son into a human meat skewer!

The scene was incredibly bloody and terrifying, yet the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers of excitement!
