”Noble Heir is openly resisting the law!” Yan Heng said in a stern voice, ”As the Emperor, you personally conferred the title of Unique Noble Heir, but in front of the palace, you openly defied the law. Noble Heir, you are blatantly looking down on the laws of Chu!”
When Hong Ling heard this, he raised his head and looked at him coldly: ”You don't need to put me on such a high pedestal. If you were to say that my servant was able to openly steal Liu Ji's Earth Ranked Spirit Tool, then please show me your evidence. If there isn't one, then barging into my Unique Noble Heir's manor is equivalent to looking down on the imperial power. Even if I kill all of you, I do not think that anyone would dare to say anything! ”
”Since Your Highness is so stubborn, don't blame us for offending you. Attack!” Yan Heng ordered the officers beside him in a cold voice. These constables were all cultivators in Essence Refinement into Qi. They could deal with ordinary people, but against Hong Ling who had a fighting strength that could chase up to an expert in the Spirit Refinement realm, they were not even enough!
When the nearly fifty Great Chu Ministry of Justice officials heard this, they looked at each other and bellowed, then rushed towards Hong Ling and the others. However, no one rose from their chairs. This was Hong Ling's own family matters, and could only be dealt with by him personally. As a Unique Noble Heir personally conferred by the Human Emperor of Great Chu, it was fine even if Hong Ling fought with the people from the Punishment Department. However, if they were to act together, then they would teach others a lesson. If they were to pursue this matter at that time, then there would be no way to defend themselves.
”I want to see who dares to behave so atrociously in my Unique Noble Heir's residence!” Hong Ling sneered, with a tap of his foot, he rushed out. He brandished his sword and a bright ray of sword light flashed. It was then thrown towards an official who had rushed up the stairs bravely.
Just as the official was about to fight for the merit, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a sword qi flying towards him from the corner of his eyes. Without even thinking about it, he raised the saber in his hand horizontally, intending to block this sword aura. However, how could Hong Ling's sword qi be so easily blocked? Ka-cha! * The blade was hit by the sword qi and instantly split into two. The cut was smooth. The sword Qi did not stop there, it viciously struck the official's chest. Swish! Blood splattered as the official was sent flying and landed on the ground. At this moment, a vicious wound was opened on his chest by the sword Qi, and blood continued to pour out. The crowd watched as the official's eyes gradually lost focus, his mouth continuously dripping with blood as he twitched non-stop. Their eyes were filled with fear. Finally, the official's body shook and he lost all signs of life.
”How dare you kill an officer of the Board of Justice!” Yan Heng's gaze turned cold, he stared straight at Hong Ling, his eyes filled with shock. This Unique Noble Heir was simply too unruly. With a flip of his hand, he easily killed a Great Chu Ministry of Justice official, and looking at his unchanging calmness, it caused Yan Heng to feel a deep chill. He finally remembered that the young man in front of him was a ferocious person who had killed two of the s of the Monster race, and was not the second generation hedonistic kid from Tianqi City. He was a peerless god of death that came from the midst of a bloody storm. He even dared to kill the men of the hussar's general's mansion. What else was there that he didn't dare to do?
”He's just an official. It doesn't matter if I kill him. If you refuse to accept this, then you can come and see if I dare to kill you!” Hong Ling's gaze turned cold as he stared at Yan Heng.
Before Yan Heng could even speak, Feng Xi, who was sitting on his horse, spoke out, ”Noble Heir Hong Ling, you are being disrespectful and have obstructed the law enforcement officials of the Ministry of Justice. This Supervising Chronicle shall exercise the right of inspection today and order all officials of the Board of Justice to apprehend him. The prince had violated the law and committed the same crime as the commoners. The Unique Noble Heir had protected the suspect first, killed the Chu officials, and then, without reason, killed the servants of the hussar general's mansion. ”All the civilians and soldiers of the Chu should work together to apprehend him!”
Hong Ling raised his eyebrows, and looked at Feng Xi, who was using a Authentic Qi to send a message very far away, as his eyes filled with coldness. It looks like this Feng Xi thinks that he's in for this today? Hong Ling ignored him, looking at the four cultivators from the Punishment Department riding out from behind Feng Xi, and then looking at the servant that came out from beside Liu Ji, his eyes flashed with killing intent.
The four people Feng Xi had brought this time were all at the Great Circle of Void and in the Spirit Refinement realm. It was likely that they had long since been prepared. Out of these four, plus Yan Heng, there were five Soul Refining cultivators that were still hollow and large. If Feng Xi and Liu Ji's servant were to personally make a move, then Hong Ling would have to face two supreme cultivators that cultivated the Void Unity Stage.
The group of Big Chu officials looked at their comrade who was on the spot soaked in blood, and their eyes were filled with fear when they looked at Hong Ling. However, since they were here for the meal, they naturally wouldn't cower in fear. It was unknown who shouted, but with a wave of people surrounding them, they rushed towards Hong Ling. Since this Noble Heir had already been convicted by Master Supervisor, then they no longer had any scruples. Almost all of the people serving in the Ministry of Justice were not afraid of death. Therefore, even though they were afraid of the longsword in Hong Ling's hands, they still forced themselves to charge forward.
”If you want to die, I'll grant you that wish!” Hong Ling snorted, and casually swung out the Sorrow Spirit Sword. His pupils contracted, and the Sorrow Spirit instantly split up and shot towards the group. The resplendent sword aura crisscrossed between the heavens and the earth, and blood and flesh flew everywhere it passed. Amidst waves of screams, a thick smell of blood spread through the air. Countless broken limbs were scattered in front of the crown prince's mansion. Many of the onlookers couldn't help but to lower their bodies and spit out the gallbladder water that they were wearing. This was too bloody. This young heir actually had such fierce and ruthless methods. He had taken the lives of dozens of officials in such a split-second.
Yan Heng was shocked and angry at the same time. However, the four Spirit Refinement cultivators that he and Feng Xi brought could only watch on helplessly. To his senses, that dark golden long sword was the legendary Celestial Rank Magic Equipment. Even these Spirit Refinement cultivators did not dare to rashly enter and save others. Celestial Rank Magic Equipment s were not people they could contend against.
Chi, the last official of the Board of Justice had his throat slashed by the Sorrow Spirit sword and unwillingly fell to the ground. They only had the cultivation of Essence Refinement into Qi, so much so that even the Qi Refinement into Spirit was unable to achieve it, and was simply unable to resist the might of the Celestial Rank Magic Equipment. Just the sword qi released by the Sorrow Spirit was able to completely suppress the aura in their bodies, let alone the incomparably sharp blade edge of the Sorrow Spirit Sword. Hong Ling looked at the corpses that were scattered in front of him, and casually formed a ball of Tianhuang Lightning Fire, burning everything into nothingness.
”Master Yan Heng, I wonder if you still want to try?” I am actually very happy to see the lord bringing along the four subordinates of Supervisor Feng Xi to attack me at the same time! I wonder if your blood is a little more red than the others'! ” Hong Ling called back the Sorrow Spirit, narrowed his eyes, and asked Yan Heng who had a face full of dread.
Feng Xi frowned. Although fifty officials from the Essence Refinement into Qi had died, it was nothing to him. However, this was still the face of the Board of Justice. At this moment, he looked at the hesitant Yan Heng and the four Spirit Refinement cultivators standing with him, his eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness.
