Chapter 407: Recklessness (1/2)

Xue Wei's face darkened. ”Did you accept the edict?” he asked, his voice dangerously low.

”We did not, but they plasted it on our door where it has been since then,” Lin Xiao said with a sigh.

”And the Emperor has said nothing?” Xue Wei was full of anger now. He had sacrificed blood to create so many mutated beasts for them, and the thanks he was getting was his little sister forced into marriage?

”I don't think he is aware of it,” Hei Gou answered. ”No one has seen the Emperor since you returned home.”

”Let us go and find them,” Xue Wei said, dragging all his friends with him out of the courtyard, only to find that there was a group of royal guards stationed outside.

”The Empress has ordered that no one is to leave the courtyard before the wedding,” one of the guards said, his face full of menace.

”Either we leave, or you bring the Emperor here right at this moment,” Xue Wei said, but all he was answered was a laughter from the royal guard.

”Who do you think you are, summoning the Emperor as you wish? Now return to the...”

He did not manage to say another word before his head was severed from his neck, and his body limply fell to the ground.

Everyone was shocked as they looked at Xue Wei, even his friends. Xue Wei had been fairly well behaved since he arrived at the Demon Phoenix Continent, but now he was suddenly killing a royal guard so quickly. It was the same as slapping their faces.

The other Royal Guards were also shocked, but they quickly regained their senses and plunged at Xue Wei.

”How dare you!” they exclaimed in anger, and their hands brandished the sabers at their waist.

Xue Wei was completely without a care for these Royal Guards; his mood was turbulent, and his anger unstoppable.

His friends, who had been taken by surprise, finally reacted. Their bodies flashed, and smiles erupted on their faces. They had been suppressed for far too long, and now it was necessary for them to let go of all their frustrations.

Lin Xiao was using his staff to attack, while Hei Gou was using his claws. Bai Tianyi was using the spiritual energy swords, while Luoluo was using her physical body, enhanced with spiritual energy. Xue Wei was using his body, his Qi, and his spiritual energy at the same time, attacking and killing one guard after another.

More and more guards came rushing towards them, but the more that came, the more he killed.

Blood was flowing like rivers on the ground, more and more guards succumbed to their death as Xue Wei went on a rampage. He was angry, but he was not blinded by anger; his actions had another reason behind them.
