Xia Jie was completely stunned as he stared blankly at the spot where the dragon spirit had disappeared.
The dragon spirit that he had relied on as his ultimate weapon, oh, no, the dragon spirit, had been killed so easily by Lu Xuan? The dragon spirit had been on a killing spree just a moment ago and had even helped him kill the Crown Prince. Even Xia Qi had almost died.
When everyone's gazes converged on him, Xia Jie could not help but shiver. Without the protection of the Flood Dragon Spirit, he was no match for anyone here. How could Xia Qi and the others let him off after doing such a thing?
Xia Jie hurriedly picked up the Imperial Jade Seal in his hand. His hands trembled as he tried to cast a spell to escape. However, no one would allow him to leave just like that.
Xia Feng was the first to rush up and ruthlessly kick Xia Jie in the chest, sending him flying. At the same time, he reached out and snatched the imperial jade seal back, handing it back to Xia Qi.
Xia Qi looked at Xia Jie with a complicated expression as he slowly took a step forward. Xia Jie had been his most beloved son before entering the Nine Dragon Jade Seal. However, not only had that beloved son of his destroyed the formation that his ancestor had painstakingly left behind, but he had also nearly killed his father and his brothers. Even though he had come up with a way to deal with the Jiao Spirit in time, there was no way for Xia Qian, who was already dead, to be resurrected.
"Xiao Qi, now that things have come to this, do you feel remorseful?" Xia Qi asked slowly.
Xia Jie was overjoyed when he heard this. From Xia Qi's tone, could it be that he had forgiven him? Everyone looked at Xia Qi in surprise. Could it be that Xia Qi was so muddle-headed? Xia Jie had killed his father and emperor, and he still wanted to forgive him?
However, whether it was Xia Feng, Xia Xi, or even Xia Zhengwen, none of them said anything. They quietly watched the conversation between the father and son.
"Imperial Father, I know I was wrong. I was blinded by greed and actually did such a thing that angers both men and gods. It was a waste of Imperial Father's love for me. I really don't have the face to see Imperial Father again, and I even implicated Big Brother in this place. I will die today to repay Imperial Father for raising me!" As Xia Jie spoke, he actually drew a long sword and placed it against his neck, looking like he was about to commit suicide.
Xia Qi narrowed his eyes at the sight of this, but he remained motionless. Injuring himself to gain the confidence of others? Over the years, he had used this move, and he had seen countless people use this move.
Although Xia Jie was so agitated that he pressed the sword against his neck, he didn't slash down. He was just putting on an act, waiting for Xia Qi to stop him. Unexpectedly, he was wrong this time. Xia Qi didn't seem to have that intention at all. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel like he was riding a tiger.
"Why did it stop? We are still waiting for you to repay Imperial Father for raising you. "Xia Qi said indifferently.
"Imperial Father, I …" Xia Jie's expression was somewhat unsightly. He didn't know what to say. If he had known, he wouldn't have played this trick.
"Hmph!" Xia Qi snorted heavily and flung his robes. He pointed at Xia Jie and shouted angrily, "We didn't treat Qian 'er as well as one-tenth of the way I treated you. Even though We knew that he was the Crown Prince, We still didn't pass the throne to him. However, not only did Qian' er not complain, He even used his life to save We!
"And you! We have doted on you since you were young and could never bear to scold you. The time you spent by our side is probably more than the time all the other princes have spent together. But how did you repay us? You used our trust to enter the space of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal and destroyed the array left behind by our ancestors. You colluded with the evil dragon and wanted to kill us and your brothers so that you could ascend the throne!
"No matter who gets the throne, it won't be your turn! We were wrong all these years. We were wrong in spoiling you too much and spoiling you so much that you didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Qian 'er died because of you. Now, you can accompany him in hell! On account of your status as a prince, We will give you this chance to commit suicide today! "
Xia Qi's words stunned Xia Jie. Xia Xi and the others let out a breath of relief. Their Majesty Father was indeed not senile.
Xia Jie seemed to want to fight back as he pressed his sword downwards. But at this point, he still didn't have the courage to commit suicide. He tossed his longsword and fled.
Xia Qi snorted and turned around without looking. But he still gave the order without any hesitation, "Kill this kid!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xia Feng's three subordinates immediately followed the order and attacked. With the strength of the seventh level of the Origin Realm, dealing with a kid like Xia Jie who wasn't even at the Origin Realm was a piece of cake.
"I am a prince. Whoever dares to kill me will have their entire family executed!" Xia Jie shouted in a panic.
Tss!
A saber slashed across Xia Jie's neck and a line of blood instantly appeared. Xia Jie couldn't speak anymore. As a member of the Nine Dragons Empire's army, he had to listen to Xia Qi's orders. Since Xia Qi didn't say to capture him alive, then he had to kill him on the spot. If Lu Xuan saw this scene, he would probably think that the saber wasn't fast enough. If it was fast enough, there wouldn't be blood flowing out immediately.
"Reporting to Your Majesty. We have ….. killed the Seventh Prince." The messenger hesitated for a moment before replying.
Xia Qi closed his eyes and acknowledged softly. His tone was slightly fatigued. In such a short period of time, he had lost two sons. One of them was his eldest son and the other was his most beloved son. How could he be in a good mood?
After a moment, Xia Qi seemed to have calmed down. He opened his eyes and asked, "How is the Calm Peace Prince now?"
Tian Xin turned back to look at Lu Xuan and said, "After the Calm Peace Prince absorbed that ball of essence qi, he seems to have signs of breaking through. I am afraid we still have to wait for a while."
"Then we shall wait. The Calm Peace Prince has done a great deed this time. This deed is equivalent to protecting our empire for generations. When he awakens, We shall reward him handsomely! All of you have done a great deed in protecting the Emperor. We shall reward you handsomely as well! "Xia Qi waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The entourage said in unison. However, seeing that Xia Qi was not in a good mood, they did not dare to show any joy. Although they had walked on the edge of death this time, it was worth it to be able to receive Xia Qi's reward.
"Imperial Father, what about Seventh Brother's corpse?" Xia Xi asked tentatively.
Xia Qi thought for a moment and said, "Bury him on the spot. We have not educated him well. This child should not be placed in the Imperial Tombs."
Xia Xi and Xia Feng exchanged a glance and stepped forward at the same time. They did not call for their entourage and personally dug a hole to bury Xia Jie. Seeing this, Xia Qi felt a little comforted. At least We still have two useful sons.
Just as the two of them finished burying Xia Jie, Lu Xuan's body suddenly erupted with a towering aura!
Tian Xin was shocked by this aura and hurriedly took a few steps back. Her eyes revealed a trace of joy. Prince Anping had finally broken through!
After successfully fusing with the giant flood dragon's dragon qi, Lu Xuan had benefited greatly. Because the giant flood dragon wasn't a true dragon, the dragon qi that it left behind had some impurities. But with the help of the Sword Crystal, the impurities were all cut off by Lu Xuan, leaving behind pure dragon qi. This way, the purity of his bloodline wouldn't be affected.
Dragon qi was the essence of a dragon. After fusing with this ball of dragon qi, not only did it greatly increase Lu Xuan's physical strength, it also increased his Azure Dragon bloodline power. The pure energy was then used by Lu Xuan to condense his inner dan.
With the huge amount of energy replenishment, within Lu Xuan's dantian, an embryonic form of an inner dan had quietly appeared beside the fifth inner dan. As it continued to revolve, it began to grow healthily.
The current Lu Xuan had already broken through the fifth level of the Origin Realm and reached the early stage of the sixth level of the Origin Realm!
But this wasn't the biggest benefit that Lu Xuan received. The biggest benefit was that his Azure Dragon bloodline had directly advanced to the third tier with the help of this dragon qi!
This giant flood dragon had forcefully relied on the body of a giant flood dragon to evolve into a dragon. Who knew how many precious treasures it had plundered. Although many of the treasures were absorbed by its body, most of them were contained within this ball of dragon qi.
Compared to the second tier, the third tier Azure Dragon bloodline was a qualitative change. Before reaching the second tier, the Azure Dragon blood in Lu Xuan's body was non-renewable and could only be used to increase his own strength. But after reaching the third tier, the blood in Lu Xuan's body would be influenced by the Azure Dragon bloodline and would gradually transform into a human and dragon hybrid. More importantly, Lu Xuan could use the dragon race's awakening method to condense the Azure Dragon blood!
Of course, the Azure Dragon blood couldn't be condensed without limit. It couldn't exceed the amount of blood that a tier three bloodline could have.
Apart from that, when his bloodline reached the third tier, Lu Xuan had awakened another tier three talent.
The first two awakened talents were Recovery and Dragon's Aura. Recovery would allow Lu Xuan's endurance to increase tremendously while Dragon's Aura would allow Lu Xuan to have an absolute advantage when dealing with demonic beasts. These two talents might be useful, but they were support talents. But this time, Lu Xuan finally awakened a combat talent!
Tier three bloodline talent: Ignition!
The talent of ignition allowed him to burn his own blood essence to bring out the powers of the Dragon Clan to greater effect, almost doubling his powers. Once Lu Xuan put that talent to use, the explosive power he would bring out would definitely be beyond everyone's imagination.
The awakening of this talent could be said to have come at just the right time. Now that his bloodline had reached the third rank, he could actively condense his blood essence. Even if he were to burn all of the blood essence in his body, he would only be weakened for a period of time and would not lose the power of his bloodline.
The dense Primordial Qi around Lu Xuan gradually dissipated, and the sixth Primordial Elixir was completely stabilized. Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a puff of pure Primordial Qi before standing up.
Lu Xuan stretched his body. Crackling sounds could be heard from all parts of Lu Xuan's body. The Dragon's Aura made his body even more sturdy. He even felt that his current body could bear the weight of a Four Star Divine Inscription.
Tian Xin looked at Lu Xuan in astonishment and said, "Prince of Tranquility, why do I feel that you've grown taller in such a short period of time?"
Lu Xuan smiled, looked at his body, and said, "Do I? I don't really feel anything. "
Tian Xin nodded vigorously, "Definitely."
After reaching the third tier of the Azure Dragon bloodline, Lu Xuan's entire body had undergone some slight changes. Not only did he grow taller, his previously handsome appearance became more resolute. Overall, he looked more masculine.
