Looking at the miserable state of his people, and the destroyed city. Long Aotian's heart is filled with coldness. As people of his empire, he has the responsibility to protect them from the enemy. But seeing them right now, he thought that he had failed them.
With a wave of his hands, several pills flew out towards the injured people behind. "All of you suffered enough, rest assured I will avenge our people"
His words were not that loud, but when the mayor and the others heard his words. Their hearts were filled with warmth and they can finally rest.
"Crown prince!"
When Long Aotian was about to turn, someone called his name.
"Son!"
Duan Donghai saw that it was his son and was puzzled. He didn't know what his son wanted to do.
Duan Juze didn't dare to look up at Long Aotian directly and just lowered his head while kneeling in front of him.
"What is it?" Long Aotian asked looking at this man who was at least 10 years older than him curiously.
"His highness crown prince, please allow me to fight with you. This enemy bastards destroy my hometown and kill my people. Please allow this lowly one to wield his sword and cut them. This is the only thing I can do to calm the anger burning in my heart!" his voice was loud and full of conviction. Right now, he was no longer staring down. His eyes were burning in anger and determination.
Duan Donghai couldn't believe that his son could utter such words. Of all the people who knew his son, as his father, he knew him very clearly. His son unlike him didn't want to fight and only focused on reading and how to govern the small town.
But at this moment, his son actually volunteered to fight beside the crown prince. If he didn't see it himself, he wouldn't even dare to believe it.
Watching his son, Duan Donghai smiled gently and slowly close his eyes. 'Dear, are you watching this right now. Our son has finally grown up. He is no longer the little white face who shuts himself inside the house'
Seeing the determination of the man in front. Long Aotian smiled and said, "Tell me your name?"
"I am called Duan Juze your highness!"
"Very well, because of people like you that have the determination to fight that our empire is standing. Now! Pick up your weapon and point it at your enemy. We will kill them together" Long Aotian then turn around and black and purple qi started to twirl around his body.
"Yes, your highness!" holding his weapon and looking at the back of the crown prince in front of him. Duan Juze has the feeling that he wanted to follow the young prince as his sword.
"Dare to kill my people!"
"Dare to trample our land!"
"Leave none alive!"
"All kill!"
With his shout, the people he brought all the griffin army in the sky dive down towards the enemy. Long Aotian with his bare fists instantly disappeared and arrive in front of the enemy army.
"Black Dragon Fist!"
Long Aotian's fist transformed into two fearsome dragon heads and punch towards the enemy army. Because the enemy army only consists of Early to middle stage martial scholars. They didn't have a way to dodge or block such a powerful attack.
Boom!
Those who near him suddenly exploded in a bloody mist.
Mu Cheng and Duan Juze watch in awe as Ling Aotian attack. Suddenly, a spark ignited in their hearts as they also charged forward.
In just a short exchange, it was clear that the enemy was simply no match against Long Aotian and the others.
"Even if you are strong, you can't defeat us all with our huge number advantage!" an enemy captain shouted as he waves his sword towards Long Aotian.
"Boy! Die for me!"
Swish!
When his sword reaches his target, his eyes widened in surprise. Because he simply couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
The blade of the sword was actually caught by his enemy. What more, the blade was caught with his bare hand. And there wasn't even a single cut or wound on his enemy.
"You believe that with your number advantage, you can overpower us?" Long Aotian put extra force in his hands and the blade actually shattered. Then he speaks with a mocking tone, "I can only say that your thinking is too shallow"
He then stretches out his other hand and hold the captain in his head and lift him up. "Because in front of me, no matter how many you are. An ant is still an ant no matter how many you are. I can easily crush them all. Just like this"
"Y...you!" the eyes of the enemy captain is full of fear. But when he tried to speak, Long Aotian directly crush his head with his hand.
"Kill!"
With the death of the enemy captain. The massacre of Long Aotian and his troops started. Blood flows like a river inside the town as the enemy falls one after another.
Suddenly, something very fast whistles and cut through the air flying towards Long Aotian with extremely fast speed.
"Your highness be careful!"
"Crown prince!"
"Crown prince!"
Everyone shouted in horror when they noticed that someone was aiming to kill Long Aotian. They all rush back to protect him but they were already too late.
Bam!
Dust scatters everywhere and the soldiers anxiously approach the place where the crown prince was.
"It is a nice throw, however, not enough strength" when the dust settles, they all sigh in relief when they saw the crown prince still standing. In his hands, he was holding a sharp spear only a few centimeters away from his face.
"Since you've already attacked. Why don't you show yourself" Long Aotian calmly said as he holds the spear down.
"Just like what the rumor says about you. You are a very powerful and talented young man. If you continue to grow any further. My empire will definitely suffer from your hands. That's why today, you will leave your life here"
A voice filled with arrogance and pride sounded in the air. After that, a young man walked out from the enemy crowd and stands several meters away from Long Aotian.
"My name is Xin Fei, the second prince of the Falling Star Empire," the young man named Xin Fei said. "I believe this is the first time we've seen each other. Am I right, cousin?"
Second Prince?
Falling Star Empire?
When everyone heard his words, the people of the Black Dragon Empire were shocked.
Turn out to be the second prince of the enemy empire!
"Hmm" seeing that Long Aotian was just staring dumbly to him. Xin Fei couldn't help but sneer, "What? You were so scared that you can't even speak? Don't worry, even if you are an enemy. Since you still have some blood of my imperial family. I will make sure your death would be quick. Swift and painless"
Pfft!
"Hahahaha!" suddenly, Long Aotian burst into a loud laugh.
Xin Fei frowned and his face was covered in gloom. He icily asked, "What are you laughing about? Do you think I'm joking here?!"
Long Aotian only laughs louder and it is only after several minutes that he stopped and said, "Here I am thinking on how to start the all-out war. Who would have thought that the answer will directly deliver himself in front of me? The heavens are really helping me this time!"
"What do you mean by those words!?" Xin Fei slowly said while gritting his teeth.
"What I mean? This is what I mean!" suddenly his figure disappears in front of everyone.
"Second prince! Careful!" a soldier of the Falling Star Empire shouted.
Because above the head of Xin Fei, Long Aotian suddenly appears.
Bam!
He releases his qi and slams it in Xin Fei's body. The second prince couldn't handle the pressure and his knees folded as his whole figure slammed heavily to the ground.
Then, Long Aotian's bone-chilling words sounded in everyone's ears.
"This is exactly what I mean. To kill you and parade your head around the capital. I believe that this is enough to anger your old bastard!"
Long Aotian then look down at the body below him and slowly said,
"Am I right, cousin?"
