Chapter 1782: Why Aren’t You On Your Knees? (1/2)
The arrival of the dragon chariot brought majestic coercion over the Terrace of Heaven.
“Your Majesty!”
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
The Heavenly Court’s soldiers and marshals knelt uniformly in salute, their armors glistening under the sunlight.
Apart from Emperor Realm experts, everyone at the plaza knelt in salute. Then again, proud as Emperor Realm experts, they still lowered their heads and bowed to the Heavenly Emperor.
“En?!” Suddenly, the Heavenly Prince Di Jing looked over to the Fortune Emperor Palace’s group. He saw that Huang Xiaolong had remained standing along with the two odd monsters behind him. The three figures stood out from the rest in more than one way.
The princes that followed behind the dragon chariot also spotted the three standing figures a beat later.
“Insolent!”
“His Majesty is here, and you did not kneel in salute!”
The experts around the dragon chariot yelled at Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong was not an Emperor Realm expert. According to the rules, he was required to kneel in salute to the Heavenly Emperor. However, not only Huang Xiaolong did not kneel and salute, but he didn’t even bow.
In the Heavenly Court’s experts’ eyes, this was an act of contempt to His Majesty. A contempt to the whole Heavenly Court!
This was a crime punishable by death!
According to the Heavenly Court’s law, Huang Xiaolong could be beheaded on the spot!
“Kneel now! Beg His Majesty for amnesty!” One of the Heavenly Court’s marshals suddenly exerted pressure on Huang Xiaolong with his palm, intending to force Huang Xiaolong to kowtow in salute.
This Heavenly Court Marshal was the right-hand man to the Heavenly Emperor, called Yan Tianchen. Yan Tianchen was a late-Tenth Order Emperor Realm expert.
The force of this palm strike was akin to a chaos divine mountain slamming down on Huang Xiaolong.
Just one fraction of a million of this palm force could pulverize an ordinary Heavenly Monarch Realm disciple to dust.
Even Zhao Lei and Li Shan, who were by Huang Xiaolong's side, felt like heaven itself was falling on them. Their faces turned deathly pale. It had never occurred to them that Huang Xiaolong wouldn't salute the Heavenly Emperor.
Han Qing, Gudu Wuyi, Chen Jianwei, and a few others watched excitedly from a distance.
The chaos divine mountain size palm imprint was seconds from reducing Huang Xiaolong to dust. Right at this time, one of the odd beasts behind Huang Xiaolong moved.
The odd beast's claw collided directly with Yan Tianchen's palm in midair.
Thunderous booms shook the sky.
Terrifying aftershock waves swept out across the plaza.
At the same time, the mighty Heavenly Court's Grand Marshal Yan Tianchen staggered back unsteadily. On the contrary, the odd beast behind Huang Xiaolong did not even budge an inch.
This result shocked the Heavenly Court's experts.
A golden glimmer flickered across the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun's eyes at this was an unexpected result.
Another late-Tenth Order Emperor Heavenly Court's Grand Marshal, Xiao Yi, raised his arms and helped steady Yan Tianchen's staggering figure. The two of them had cooperated many times, and with one look, both leaped forward with four fists aimed at the odd beast behind Huang Xiaolong.
The odd beast sped forward towards them at lightning speed.
R~rumble!
Thunderous booms rang again as the plaza quaked violently.
Both Xiao Yi and Yan Tianchen were sent backward in the air, whereas the odd beast merely retreated one step back and immediately regained its balance.
Jaws dropped at this sight.
”What?!” The Heavenly Court’s experts were in a furor. Xiao Yi and Yan Tianchen were two of the top Heavenly Court’s experts. But even with their combined strengths, they were repelled by Huang Xiaolong’s monster!
