Chapter 1167 – Who Are You? (2/2)
”Grandaunt called all of you a pile of trash, and it looks to me that she was right.”
Tianhai Shengxue gazed at his cousins and jeered, ”It turns out that not one of you has any guts.”
Tianhai Chenwu rode a horse out of the crowd and regarded his son's face. ”Do you know what you're doing?”
Tianhai Shengxue asked, ”Father, do you know what you're doing? The humans are fighting a war with the demons, and you're starting a rebellion! Have you no shame?”
As his voice spread through the autumn rain, the rebel army became rather discomfited.
Hundred Flowers Lane was quiet and the pattering of raindrops on the ivy was rather vexing.
Prince Chen Liu wiped away the rain on his face. He looked down from his horse at Tianhai Shengxue, his visage indifferent.
”I only know that I will soon be a future emperor, and who are you?”
After saying this, he raised his right hand, preparing to order the cavalry to charge.
Many years ago, in a similar autumn rain, Tianhai Shengxue had done just the same.
Tianhai Shengxue's face was rather pale. He knew that it was impossible to stop so many soldiers by himself.
Su Moyu, Chen Fugui, Chu Wenbin and the other experts of the Orthodox Academy were all on the front lines, and Zhexiu and Tang Thirty-Six were certainly not here.
How many teachers and students were about to lie fallen in pools of blood? Would the Orthodox Academy be transformed into a ruin?
Without any warning, Prince Chen Liu's right hand dropped down like an axe chopping down a tree: straightforward and with force.
A mystical sight took place.
An extremely thick scholar tree suddenly split at the trunk.
Boom!
The felled scholar tree crashed toward Prince Chen Liu.
With a plaintive whine, the warhorse was crushed to death. Prince Chen Liu landed in the rain, his body covered in blood.
The entire world was silent.
The crowd gazed at that stalwart figure in the rain, so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Just who was this stalwart figure that they could grasp the trunk of a massive tree with one arm and wield it as a weapon? And they had been able to easily knock Prince Chen Liu to the ground.
Prince Chen Liu was a true expert of the upper level of Star Condensation. Even if this was an ambush, how had he not even been able to counterattack?
And Tianhai Chenwu, who had an unfathomable cultivation, had been at Prince Chen Liu's side. Why had he not reacted?
The autumn rain intensified, falling on the leaves of the snapped tree and dripping to the ground.
Tianhai Chenwu snorted and sent his right palm cutting through the rain.
Prince Chen Liu had been ambushed and injured right in front of him, which he would find very difficult to explain to the Prince of Xiang. Moreover, he had been astonished at this assailant's methods. Thus, he naturally used all his strength, holding nothing back.
His palm was edged with crystalline starlight. Like an actual weapon, it screeched as it cleaved through the rain and air.
The stalwart figure did not seem intent on retreating. They raised their right hand to meet the palm.
Crack! A bolt of lightning pierced through the dark sky, landing right in front of the gate of the Orthodox Academy and transforming into countless arcs of electricity that writhed around his coarse arm.
The Heavenly Thunder Bringer!
The moment that fist and palm met, all the rain in the sky seemed to stop in the air.
Tianhai Chenwu retreated several dozen zhang, only stopping after crashing through a restaurant. Blood flowed from the corner of his lips.
The stalwart man stood at his original spot, his expression unchanged.
Many people now noticed that he hadn't even let go of the tree hugged by his left hand!
Just who was this stalwart man? Could he already be half a step into the Divine?
Although he had a heavy beard, his facial features indicated that he was very young, but how could that be possible?
Prince Chen Liu stared at the stalwart man's face and found it rather familiar, but he couldn't remember from where. He asked, ”Who are you?”
The stalwart man replied, ”I'm Xuanyuan Po of the Orthodox Academy, and who are you?”
