A moment later, the carriage arrived at the execution ground. Zhao Wuhou sat on the executioner's seat, his face beaming with joy.
He wanted everyone to know that this was the consequence of opposing him.
The blood-red butcher's knife was quickly placed on Zhou Zhantian's head, but he did not kneel. No one could make a Three-Star Dragon-General kneel. Even in death, he had to stand.
"What should we do? Time is almost up. Where did Zhou Yang go?" Tang Yuewu asked anxiously.
"I've already asked everyone I could, but no one is willing to help. It's up to us now," Ding Mei said.
"No one in the Imperial City would dare to oppose the Zhao Family. He has the Empress and the Nangong Family behind him. You're right, it's up to us."
The two of them clenched their fists. But at that moment, the Gold Star Realm female guard next to the Princess walked over and held their hands tightly.
"I'm here on the Princess's orders to protect your safety."
Although she said so, in reality, she had indeed forcibly sealed the two's True Essence, and even their bodies had been imprisoned.
"Traitor Zhou Zhantian has committed treason. The evidence is conclusive. Today, in the name of the King, he is sentenced to die. Men, execute it immediately!"
As Zhao Wuhou shouted, two executioners raised their blood-red broadswords.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a flying dagger pierced through the air and shattered the two broadswords.
In an instant, the entire place was silent.
Who dared to rob the execution ground in front of Zhao Wuhou?
"My father is innocent!"
A cold voice came from afar. The next moment, Zhou Yang had already appeared in the execution ground.
Zhao Wuhou smiled coldly, as if he was not surprised by Zhou Yang's arrival.
"Zhou Yang, do you know what you're doing now?"
"I'm robbing the execution ground!" Zhou Yang said coldly.
"Do you know what the consequences of doing this are?"
"Consequences? Do you think I care? "
Zhou Yang smiled disdainfully and walked to Zhou Zhantian's side.
Zhou Zhantian shook his head and looked at Zhou Yang. "You really didn't listen to me."
"If I did, I wouldn't be Zhou Yang." Zhou Yang smiled.
"Haha …" Zhou Zhantian suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter filled with pride.
"Reckless." Zhao Wuhou glanced at the two of them before turning to Zhao Wuji. "Zhou Yang's robbery is a crime punishable by death. Capture him."
"Yes, father!"
After Zhao Wuji finished speaking, he waved his hand, and more than a hundred Dragon Guards charged at Zhou Yang.
"Lord Zhao, there's no need to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Why don't you let me deal with these traitors?"
At this moment, a young man suddenly walked out from the crowd.
"It's him, Lin Dong, ranked 31st on the Rising Star List!"
"So, it's Lin Dong. Very well, I will give you a chance to make a contribution. Take down Zhou Yang," said Zhao Wuji with a smile.
Lin Dong was overjoyed. Once he rendered a meritorious service today, he would definitely have a meteoric rise in the future.
He immediately flew up and slapped Zhou Yang with his palm.
With his back facing Lin Dong, Zhou Yang's eyes were filled with disdain.
Before he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, it might have been a little troublesome for him to face Lin Dong. However, now that he was at the peak of the Wood Star State, he would not be afraid of Lin Dong.
The flying dagger in his hand reflected the scorching sun in the sky. The next moment, the flying dagger shot out and suddenly changed direction in the air, heading straight for Lin Dong.
Lin Dong did not expect the flying dagger to suddenly change direction behind him. Caught off guard, his shoulder was pierced through.
"You can't even withstand a single blow. Get lost!"
With an angry roar, Zhou Yang turned around and punched.
Rumble!
His fist was covered in thick flames. Lin Dong's whole body was wrapped in blue flames, and he was turned into ashes in a moment.
"Today, whoever stands in my way will die!"
His presumptuous voice resounded throughout the whole area. The crowd below could not help but take a few steps back.
"How arrogant! Zhou Yang, are you challenging the geniuses of our Imperial City?" someone said as he walked out.
"Challenge? I'm not interested in challenging you. If you know what's good for you, don't come up and court death. "
"Arrogant! Do you know that I'm Cheng Yuchen, ranked 19th on the Rising Star List!"
"19th, so what? If you don't want to die, shut up!"
"You …"
Chen Yuchen was extremely angry. He took a big step forward and rushed to the stage. His whole body turned into a sharp arrow, and his aura was extremely shocking.
"Unification of Five Elements, level three!"
With a thought, the five-colored sword light gathered around him. Then, Zhou Yang also turned into a five-colored long sword.
The third level of the Unification of Five Elements was already at the level of a high-level Arcana Martial Technique. Its power was beyond imagination.
Bang!
The swords clashed. Chen Yuchen's whole body was cut in half in the air. It was a shocking scene.
Chen Yuchen, ranked 19th, was dead!
For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar.
"This man's strength has improved so much in such a short time. Unbelievable." Zhao Wuji saw this and his eyes were filled with fear. He was naturally not afraid of Zhou Yang now, but he was afraid of Zhou Yang's growth.
"Yusheng, are you interested in giving it a try?" Zhao Wuhou looked at a young man beside him and asked. Hua Yusheng, one of the Five Hidden Dragons!
"Although he is not worthy for me to fight, since Wuhou wants me to give it a try, I'll give it a try."
Hua Yusheng said and walked towards Zhou Yang.
"You …" Zhou Yang remembered this person. It was the arrogant young man he met outside the Imperial City when he first came.
"You should know me." Hua Yusheng smiled.
"I do. You're Hua Yusheng, one of the Five Hidden Dragons, ranked 7th on the Rising Star List!" Zhou Yang smiled.
"Since you know I'm Hua Yusheng, why are you still standing here?"
"I just know, but I never said how great you are. I still have the same advice. Don't court death. Today, whoever stops me will die." Zhou Yang still had a disdainful expression.
Hua Yusheng's face darkened. He thought that with his identity, he would be able to subdue the enemy without a fight. He did not expect to be treated the same way as Lin Dong and Chen Yuchen.
"It seems that you want to know the strength of the Five Hidden Dragons."
As he said this, Hua Yusheng took out a long sword.
At this time, Su Hao took out a huge halberd.
The halberd was nine feet long and was completely black. It gave people a sense of oppression.
Unparalleled Halberd!
"It's the Unparalleled Halberd." Zhao Wuji's expression froze. He naturally recognized the halberd and was also very afraid of it.
"It seems that he passed the halberd to his son. No wonder it was useless to interrogate him," Zhao Wuhou said coldly.
"Humph, I should have used his son to threaten him. The Unparalleled Halberd is a treasure that hides Unparalleled Power," Zhao Wuji sighed.
Hua Yusheng smiled and said, "General, don't worry. I'll help you get the halberd later."
"Alright, Yusheng, I'll wait for your good news."
"Don't worry, General. I only need one move to finish him off."
One move!
