If he couldn't resist, then he'd take an unconventional approach!
For someone as selfish as Cang Hun, there was nothing else in this world that he cared about other than himself. To be more precise, there was nothing more important to him than himself!
The Canglan Empire was a country founded by his ancestors. He'd once been the emperor of this country, the ruler of billions of lives, and the owner of endless land! He still cared about this. However, if all of this was built on his life, then it would be a shame. Even if the Canglan Empire was destroyed, he'd choose to protect his own life first!
Perhaps Cang Hun had once been young and frivolous, but not as cold and heartless as he was now! However, so many years had passed, and his old friends had died one by one. His old enemies had also fallen one by one. After living for so long, he had truly become a loner. It wasn't surprising that such a change in temperament and solitude had turned him into his current state.
Cang Hun had no ability to resist Chu Rui's earth-shattering strike. He couldn't even dodge it. The only way was to take it head-on, but he knew full well that his legs had already turned to jelly in the face of Chu Rui's aura. This kind of attack wasn't something he could withstand. However, he'd lived for so long that he had a way to save his own life. With a wave of his hand, the Canglan Emperor and the seventeen princes in the inner palace were sucked into his hand.
"Blood Sacrifice — Spirit Explosion!"
Cang Hun's callous voice rang out. His eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body exuded billowing demonic energy. He'd already entered the demonic path. The eighteen descendants of his direct line of descent that had been sucked in by his power, including the Great Azure Sea Emperor, instantly exploded under his power and turned into a rain of blood that filled the sky. Not only that, but everyone saw eighteen hollow spirits float into the air. They were the souls of the Canglan Emperor and his seventeen sons, but they were also firmly bound by Cang Hun.
"Explode!"
Cang Hun had mercilessly destroyed the bodies of his eighteen direct descendants and crushed their souls, preventing them from ever reincarnating. This was all in exchange for this secret technique and avoiding Chu Rui's strike.
Ruthless, truly ruthless!
Everyone was shocked by Cang Hun's ruthlessness. This was true ruthlessness. He didn't even recognize his own family. Perhaps this was nothing to Azure Soul. His life was the most important thing. As for future generations, if there was a chance in the future, they could have more. Even if he could no longer love, he didn't need love to carry on the family line. He only needed ZUO love. Moreover, the princes who weren't favored by Emperor Vastsea could inherit the throne as well. The Cang Family's empire would still be theirs.
Taking a step back, even if all the princes of the Azure Water Great Emperor had come here with various motives when Azure Water City was in danger, they were all dead now. However, the other branches were also the flesh and blood of the Cang family. Perhaps he wasn't a direct descendant of Cang Hun, but he still had the blood of the Cang Family. He was no longer interested in status. As long as someone from the Cang Clan became the emperor, it didn't matter who it was.
"Damn it!"
Relying on the sacrifice of eighteen of his closest bloodlines, male essence and male souls, and casting a secret technique, he was finally able to block Rui's sword attack that did not even have a tenth of its true power. Although he was injured, it was only a light injury, and he did not lose his life. That was enough.
When the dust settled, Cang Hun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. When he saw that Chu Rui's original position was now empty, his expression turned incomparably cold.
"Pass down my orders. Lock down the city gates and search the entire Azure Water City. We must capture that brat. Anyone who doesn't report or hides help will be executed without mercy and ten generations of their family will be exterminated! "
Cang Hun's callous voice seemed to rise from the depths of hell. The civil and military officials who'd long been scared out of their wits by his ruthlessness almost wet themselves. The remaining officials weren't all sycophants, but at least they knew how to protect themselves. They weren't as stupid as the righteous officials who'd jumped out to oppose Emperor Azure Water and were killed. Cang Hun now had complete control of the situation. Only death awaited those who opposed him. Not only would they die, but they'd also implicate their families.
"What about you?"
Azure Soul turned around and looked at the two most loyal ministers who had been standing beside Emperor Azure Sea. One was a civil official, and the other was a military official. He was the strongest warrior in the Cang Lan Empire who had a Viper Dragon as his mount, the number one Dragon Warrior General in the military, and the head of the civil officials, the Prime Minister Hua Ling!
"This official is loyal to the Cang Family!"
The Dragon Warrior General's heart trembled at Cang Hun's terrifying gaze. He knelt on one knee and swore his loyalty. He was loyal to the Cang Family, not to Emperor Azure Water who'd just died. Cang Hun was the ancestor of the Cang Family, so he was naturally loyal to him!
"This official is also loyal! Now that the empire is without a leader, I ask the ancestor to take the throne and pacify the hearts of Azure Water's millions! "
Hua Ling also trembled. Without another word, he pledged his loyalty to the Great General of the Dragon Warriors. Now that the situation was stronger than him, he had no choice but to lower his head. Although he was childhood friends with Emperor Azure Water and had a deep friendship. However, he wasn't just shouldering one person's life, but the lives of thousands of people in the Hua Family.
"I have no intention of taking the throne again. After this, you can just find a prince of the Cang Family and have him take the throne. However, that young man just now must be eliminated, or Azure Water will never have peace. Not just my Cang Family, but you and your families as well. That kid isn't easy to deal with. Since he's boarded my ship, he'll definitely settle the score with you. If we don't eliminate him while he's injured, we'll be the ones to die in the future. Do you understand what I mean? "
Cang Hun's voice caused the Dragon Warrior General and Prime Minister Hua Ling to break out in a cold sweat. However, it was unknown whether this cold sweat was due to Cang Hun's might or because they were worried about that terrifying young man's revenge. No matter what, they didn't have the right to negotiate with Cang Hun, nor did they have the right to disobey his orders.
Just as Cang Hun had said, since they'd boarded his ship, they could only follow him to the end. In the future, they would cry that they'd been forced, but the deed had already been done. That young man who'd ruthlessly slaughtered the Imperial Guard wasn't a kind person. Would he let them go? The possibility was too small! They didn't dare to gamble. Only by wholeheartedly placing their thoughts on Cang Hun would they have a chance at survival!
"This place? It's the national treasury, right? "
The entire Azure Water City was searching wantonly, but Chu Rui stumbled into the depths of the imperial palace. Feeling the dense spiritual power, he bit the tip of his tongue and became much more clear-headed. Looking at the majestic palace in front of him, his eyes burned with a fiery light!
