A single saber strike killed a man, instantly silencing everyone on the street and drawing their gazes.
In the cold wind, a young man, clad in a single layer of luxurious clothing, tall and slender, with a handsome face, an indifferent expression, eyes like stars, and holding a long saber, slowly walked against the biting wind.
Upon seeing him, the Zhenxi Army soldiers' faces lit up with joy, and they immediately bowed and shouted, "Greetings, King Qian."
As Chen Jiuyang approached, both foreign and Dragon Kingdom martial artists' expressions changed, though their reactions differed in nature and emotion.
After several days of buildup, the entire City 318 knew that the youngest King of the Dragon Kingdom, King Qian, was here and had made several interventions, killing foreign martial artists.
This had drawn cheers from the Dragon Kingdom's martial artists.
These dozens of Indian Divine Kingdom martial artists, upon seeing Chen Jiuyang, their eyes immediately turned gloomy and heavy. Another one spoke, "What Dragon Kingdom King Qian? Without Celestial Realm cultivation, he's just a pseudo-king. What is there to fear?"
This was the reason they dared to be arrogant after learning Chen Jiuyang was in City 318.
If a Dragon Kingdom Celestial Realm King were truly stationed in City 318, then Daixuluo's plan would be in vain, and these Indian Divine Kingdom martial artists would not dare to be arrogant but would retreat immediately.
Upon discovering that Chen Jiuyang's cultivation was only at the fourth level of the Earth Realm, and he had not yet officially taken his position as the Sixth King of the Dragon Kingdom, Daixuluo's heart relaxed.
A Dragon Kingdom pseudo-king, at the fourth level of the Earth Realm, what was there to fear?
Therefore, he ordered these Indian Divine Kingdom martial artists to cause trouble within City 318, to first wear down the Zhenxi Army's energy and overall strength.
Once news of King Yan arrived, they would be able to advance or retreat freely, whether to attack the city or withdraw without any hindrance.
Immediately, these Indian Divine Kingdom martial artists let out mocking laughter, causing the hearts of the Zhenxi Army soldiers and Dragon Kingdom martial artists to sink.
If only King Qian's cultivation had reached the Celestial Realm, why would these foreign martial artists be so rampant?
Chen Jiuyang looked at the Zhenxi Army soldiers, "King Gong is in a coma and cannot wield power. The petty ones are rampant. This King wishes to temporarily assume King Gong's authority. Does the Zhenxi Army agree?"
"The Princess Consort had already given orders. If the petty ones are rampant, the entire Zhenxi Army will wholeheartedly obey King Qian's commands!"
"No other reason, King Qian is the King of our Dragon Kingdom!"
The Zhenxi Army squad leader declared his stance at once.
"Good."
A sinister curve appeared on Chen Jiuyang's lips, and his indifferent voice echoed, "Pass down this King's order: Seal the city. This city, only entry is allowed, no exit."
Within the calm words lay a strong, chilling killing intent.
The squad leader was first stunned, then a jolt from the base of his spine stimulated his scalp, making his hair stand on end and his body tremble inexplicably. He then respectfully said, "Yes, King Qian!"
He immediately took out his walkie-talkie and announced loudly, "The second squad of the eighth platoon, fourth company, third regiment, first division of the Martial Soldier Division conveys King Qian's order—"
Then he took a deep breath and exhaled, "Seal the city!"
At this, the Indian Divine Kingdom martial artists' faces suddenly changed, "Dragon Kingdom King Qian, what do you want to do!"
"What do I want to do?"
Chen Jiuyang looked down at him, his expression indifferent, his eyes icy, "You pigs and dogs have been rampant in our Dragon Kingdom's City 318 for over twenty years. Your ambitions are wicked, and your hearts deserve to be punished."
"You have insulted our Dragon Kingdom's warriors and persecuted our Dragon Kingdom's civilians. Your crimes warrant annihilation!"
"For such crimes, this King has thought about it day and night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep."
"Therefore, I have decided—"
"Seal the city, and slaughter all of you pigs and dogs!"
"Whoosh!"
Everyone's faces suddenly changed drastically, and many felt their hearts pounding, their eyes bulging. Was King Qian mad?
He intended to kill all the Indian Divine Kingdom martial artists in the entire City 318?
This was a matter that could shake the heavens!
The Dragon Kingdom had been peaceful for over sixty years, and this King Qian was about to break it!
It was too insane!
The leading Indian Divine Kingdom martial artist's expression shifted continuously, "Dragon Kingdom King Qian, do you know what you are saying?"
"If you dare to kill us, you will be breaking the peace and instigating conflict between the two countries. Your throne will be stripped, and you will be sent to a military court afterward."
"Do you dare to bear such consequences?"
"Heh." Chen Jiuyang sneered, his eyes indifferent, and slowly raised his saber, "Your Indian Divine Kingdom's King Daixuluo painstakingly brewed trouble, intending to destroy City 318 and take revenge on King Gong."
"With such wicked ambition, must we wait for you pigs and dogs to make the first move? Others might be able to tolerate it."
"But this King cannot tolerate it!"
"As the Dragon Kingdom's King Qian, I only seek to defend my home and country with a clear conscience. If this throne is stripped away, so be it!"
"As long as I can kill these pigs and dogs and protect the peace of our Dragon Kingdom!"
"This King never seeks wealth or glory!"
"Thus, this King has told you the reason. Can you now set your minds at ease to embark on your journey?"
Everyone's faces changed. Every person from the Dragon Kingdom felt a surge of heroic spirit in their hearts.
The next moment, a terrifying, heart-pounding aura erupted from Chen Jiuyang's body, and the cold gleam of his saber resonated:
"Pass down this King's order: Zhenxi Army soldiers armed with firearms are to protect the safety of the civilians in the city. Other martial artists with martial cultivation will follow this King to kill the enemy!"
"Yes!"
"Rumble!"
Immediately, a flash of cold light, and an Indian Divine Kingdom martial artist instantly perished.
"Madness! This Dragon Kingdom King Qian is mad! Immediately send word to my King to make a decision!"
...
Within King Gong's mansion.
Princess Consort Gong, Gong Luoque, and Gong Liexian stood before the unconscious King Gong.
In the distance, tremors could be felt, and Chen Jiuyang's heroic voice echoed.
Princess Consort Gong looked at her son and daughter and slowly said, "How? Are you convinced now?"
"If it were you, would you dare to make such a decision?"
Gong Luoque and Gong Liexian lowered their heads, their eyes flashing with complex emotions, "Convinced!"
Chen Jiuyang was the same age as them. To hide their strength and protect themselves, they dared not go all out. Therefore, one deliberately lost on the Martial Rankings, and the other joined the Sword Bearer Legion without participating in the Martial Rankings. Previously, they regarded Chen Jiuyang as an ordinary peer and did not see him as a king, even after Chen Jiuyang intervened to save the Zhenxi Army.
It was only when King Daixuluo threatened to disrupt City 318 that they, brother and sister, were truly convinced of Chen Jiuyang. In terms of magnanimity and kingly demeanor, they were indeed inferior to King Qian, Chen Jiuyang!
Chen Jiuyang, as the Sixth King of the Dragon Kingdom, was truly worthy of the title!
"Fortunately, I made arrangements the day before yesterday to move all the ordinary citizens into the Zhenxi Army barracks. Otherwise, City 318 would truly have descended into chaos." Princess Consort Gong slowly turned, looking at the bustling City 318 filled with the sounds of battle, "Now, it is enough for your King Qian to display his prowess. You two, why are you not going to lead troops to assist King Qian in killing the enemy!"
"Yes, Mother Consort!"
Gong Luoque and Gong Liexian donned their armor, gathered their troops, and rushed out of King Gong's mansion.
...
On the other side.
King Daixuluo, in his city, was anxiously awaiting news of King Yan with bloodshot eyes. Suddenly, a martial artist rushed into his great hall and reported, "My King, City 318 has erupted into chaos. The King Qian stationed there has taken the initiative and launched an attack on us."
"What?"
King Daixuluo immediately leaped from his chair, his eyes filled with disbelief.
