Chapter 566: Fated Reincarnation of Life and Death

The pressure within the throne room was extremely intense, to the point of being terrifying.

The screams of despair and slushing of blades could also be heard from the throne room every so often. It was a stark reminder of what was happening.

Eunuch Wei’s back was completely wet from perspiration. He stared tightly at the five ferocious beasts in front of him with incredible apprehension.

“Your Majesty…”

“It doesn’t matter!” Lin Mubai waved his hands at Eunuch Wei before he slowly walked towards the beasts with a solemn expression.

One step at a time.

Roar!

The five beasts stared at the advancing Lin Mubai and unleashed their ferocity completely. They roared at Lin Mubai in unison.

The next moment, the five beasts acted.

They charged at Lin Mubai from both the ground and the air, each of their eyes flashing with a chilling presence.

“Beasts of Sin!” Lin Mubai hollered. At the same time, a strong golden brilliance emitted from his body. It was majestic and blinding.

Lin Mubai was not retreating. Instead, he was charging straight towards the beasts as well.

At the same time, the golden dragon hovering on top of him also took action.

It plunged toward, aiming its huge draconic claws at the five beasts. It also made use of its giant tail and crack it on the head of the Green Scaled Suanni.

The moment the Green Scaled Suanni saw Lin Mubai rushing over, it opened its gigantic jaw and tried to crunch down on Lin MuBai.

However, just when it was about to succeed,

Lin Mubai mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

The golden dragon tail then reached the Green Scaled Suanni, striking its forehead with lightning speed.

Boom!

The Green-Scaled Suanni lowered its head as its two front paws were smacked right down. It then knelt powerlessly onto the ground. At that moment, Emperor Lin Mubai appeared right above it.

He was still bathed in a golden brilliance.

He was holding a sword in his hand as well. A sword as innocently white as jade.

“Die!”

Emperor Lin Mubai had a cold resolve in his eyes. His stabbed his sword towards the head of the Suanni without hesitation. Just as his sword was about to strike the Suanni’s head, something strange happened!

The sword changed form into a giant blade 600 feet in length. There was also a mist like presence circling the sword.

Boom!

The giant sword pierced right through the Green-Scaled Suanni’s head, sending a loud sound which echoed through the throne room. Following which, the Green-Scaled Suanni lay motionless on the ground.

Blood splattered in all directions.

It all happened too fast. It only took the blink of an eye from the moment Lin Mubai took action to the time when the Suanni fell. Lin Mubai had managed to take down a ferocious beast that had at least 70% of the pure Suanni bloodline!

This was undoubtedly shocking.

Lin Tianrong stared at the giant sword in his father’s hands and the blood dripping down from its blade with his mouth agape.

He could hardly remember a time when Lin Mubai got engaged in a fight.

However, this fight alone was more than enough to prove that his father, the Emperor of the Great Xia, was indeed a powerful figure who deserved to be feared and respected by all.

Qian Wu was clearly taken aback by this as well. He stared at the defeated Green-Scaled Suanni with a cold gaze.

“The Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty lives up to his name!” Qian Wu exclaimed. He had not expected Lin Mubai to be a weak opponent. However, he did not expect him to be this strong.

Merely one hit?

Qian Wu subconsciously clenched his fist. He did not rush forward with an attack immediately.

That was because from the moment Lin Mubai killed the Green-Scaled Suanni in a single blow, the phoenix circling the air had already snuck up behind him.

Caw!

A high-pitched cry rang across the throne room.

The phoenix struck mercilessly at Lin Mubai with its steel-like claws. It aimed specifically for the head, clearly with murderous intentions. One could expect Lin Mubai to at least be gravely injured if he was hit by that attack.

Roar!

The dragon bellowed as well when he heard the high-pitched phoenix cry. At the same time, it immediately stationed itself behind Lin Mubai to defend him from the fatal blow.

Clang!

The steel-like claws grasped onto the dragon’s body and tore off a few pieces of that golden scale. A huge block of golden brilliance also fell onto the ground.

Roar!

The dragon bellowed once again as it lashed out its ferocious claws.

Boom!

The sound of the collision caused the entire throne room to tremble. The two giant beasts were blown away from each other due to the shockwaves from the collision.

However, this was not all. Behind the phoenix, three other beasts lurked…

“What a bunch of sinful beasts!” Lin Mubai muttered softly. At the same time, he threw a ferocious beast off its course with simply a forceful kick.

Alas, the other two beasts had already opened their jaws, ready to devour Lin Mubai.

“Open!” Lin Mubai hollered as the golden brilliance around him increased in intensity once again. It became two long golden spears which were thrown right into the jaws of those beasts.

Argh!

Two miserable cries of suffering sounded in unison.

At the same time, they retreated for a few steps as blood flowed profusely from the wounds in their agape jaws. The blood scattered in all directions as they grimaced in pain, raining down onto the ground.

Going against five powerful beasts with the strength of one man.

This was the power of Emperor Lin Mubai.

The golden brilliance encircled Lin Mubai ever so gloriously as he stared at Lin Tianrong, who was cowering at the entrance to the throne room.

“Unfilial son, if you…”

Before Lin Mubai could complete his sentence, his facial expression changed.

This was because he heard a piercing scream from underneath his feet. It was a giant tail that was green in color and filled with thick scales.

Boom!

Emperor Lin Mubai flew across the room all the way back to his throne seat like a comet dashing through the sky. His face became extremely pale.

He would never expect that the Green-Scaled Suanni which suffered a penetrative wound to the head was still alive.

Was this the rumored extreme vitality of the ferocious beasts?

“Your Majesty, your Majesty…” Eunuch Wei stared at the injured and airborne Lin Mubai and immediately walked forward in an attempt to cushion the impact.

However, he was immediately blown away by the shockwaves.

“Your Majesty, how are you feeling?” Eunuch Wei asked with a concerned expression on his face.

A mouthful of blood then gushed out from Lin Mubai’s mouth. At the same time, the golden brilliance around him seemed to have dimmed slightly.

“Protect…”

“Wait!” Lin Mubai immediately interrupted Eunuch Wei. Following which, he coughed violently for a few times before standing up with grace once again.

“Your Majesty, why are you doing this?” Eunuch Wei stared at Lin Mubai with tears in his eyes. He could not bear to see the Emperor go through such pain.

“It doesn’t matter,” Lin Mubai said as he waved his hands.

“Very good. Emperor of the Great Xia, you did not disappoint me. This fight alone is worth my trip to the Flame Capital City. Alas, I cannot show mercy when the interests of our countries are at heart. Please forgive me!” Qian Wu looked at Lin Mubai’s pale expression and said with respect.

“Naturally,” Lin Mubai nodded in reply. However, he kept his gaze on Lin Tianrong all this time.

Eunuch Wei naturally noticed this tender expression and could no longer hold in his words.

After a moment of hesitation, Eunuch Wei gritted his teeth and positioned himself right in front of Lin Mubai, protecting Lin Mubai with his body.

“Crown Prince, are you still unwilling to repent even after seeing your father in this state? Are you really willing to see your father killed by someone from another country?” Eunuch Wei was almost pleading with Lin Tianrong to give up on his actions.

Lin Tianrong was startled at this turn of events.

He stared at his weak and pale looking father as he clenched and loosened his fist countless times. He looked extremely hesitant.

Qian Wu also shifted his gaze back to Lin Tianrong at this moment.

“What do you think? Are you going to spare your father’s life? I assume that your Crown Prince position is already gone. However, your father might still give you a title similar to King Duan. You can still live out the rest of your life in peace and comfort!” Qian Ru said condescendingly.

“What rubbish! I am the Crown Prince, the Heavenly Son, the next Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. As long as my father is dead, I will own everything that ever belonged to the Great Xia. Kill him! Kill him right now!” Lin Tianrong gritted his teeth in determination as he said those words. His expression looked similar to that of a cultist that had gone insane.

“Haha, great. Very good. I will fulfill your wishes and kill him for you!” Qian Wu grinned with satisfaction upon hearing Lin Tianrong’s words.

At the same time, he moved his hands slightly.

The four other beasts seemed to be revitalized by some mysterious power and started hissing softly, their jaws glistening with a murderous intent.

“Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has already decided, we cannot let this go on!” Eunuch Wei stared at Lin Mubai, urging him to take action.

“My Dear Queen Yan, I am extremely sorry. Tianrong has been blinded by the power and allure of the throne. I cannot fulfill my promise to you and hand the glorious lands of the Great Xia into his hands!” Lin Mubai cried in despair as his face showed an expression of desperation upon hearing Eunuch Wei’s words. He looked as if he was on the verge of tears.

“Dragon Protection Squad, take action!” Eunuch Wei said while trembling as he heard Lin Mubai’s words. However, he quickly recollected himself.

“Yes!” Voices shouted in unison from the back of the throne room.

Following which, countless soldiers clad in shining armor emerged from the back of the throne seat, each of them holding a long sword in their hands.

They were the Dragon Protection Squad!

The most elite squad in the Great Xia Dynasty.

They were a squad that served only the Emperor. For a long time, they represented the Emperor in all parts of the country, executing secret missions stealthily.

However, they had appeared in the throne room.

Furthermore, none of the members of the Dragon Protection Squad were absent. The ten Dragon Envoys of the squad stood in frontlines and held their flags in confidence. Ten bright red flags fluttered majestically within the throne room.

“First Dragon Envoy, Yan Qing, present!” A middle-aged man clad in shining armor stepped forward and knelt down in front of Lin Mubai.

“Dragon Protection Squad? Yan Qing! Why… why are you people here?” Lin Tianrong was clearly shocked at the sudden appearance of the Dragon Protection Squad, especially at the appearance of the First Dragon Envoy Yan Qing. His lunatic expression turned into one of shock and horror.

“Crown Prince, stop going down this path. Stop while you still can. The Emperor knew about your plans a long time ago. Did you really think he would not make preparations?” Yan Qing slowly stood up and turned his gaze to Lin Tianrong.

Yes, father had seen the letters from Fang Zhengzhi. He knew that this was going to happen! Lin Tianrong clenched his fists as he thought.

He remembered everything. It was Fang Zhengzhi again!

Fang Zhengzhi handed his letters with Qian Wu to Lin Mubai’s hands, giving Lin Mubai the time to prepare his defenses.

He hated Fang Zhengzhi so much. He hated him for disrupting his plans again and again.

He regretted not killing Fang Zhengzhi while he was in the Southern Region. He regretted killing the Noblelite Shan Ling first. He could no longer turn back time.

How could he then, give up when the throne was just in sight?

His eyes turned stone cold and stared at the twenty black figures who were huddling in the corner.

“What are you waiting for? Kill them all! No one opposing me leaves this place alive!” Lin Tianrong bellowed like a ferocious beast.

“Yes!” The twenty black figures replied in unison. They quickly stood forward and came to the side of the four beasts.

From their perspective, as long as they were not facing against Lin Mubai’s Green Dragon Eye, they had no fear. This was because they were Rebirth State individuals.

They had enough power to completely crush the Dragon Protection Squad in front of them.

“Dragon Protection Squad, haha… Father, do you really think you can stop me simply with the Dragon Protection Squad?” Lin Tianrong stared at the twenty Rebirth State individuals and four beasts with confidence.

He had good knowledge of the strength of the Dragon Protection Squad.

The First Dragon Envoy Yan Qing was a Rebirth State individual. Some of the other Dragon Envoys had also reached the Rebirth State.

However, this did not mean that they could defend Lin Mubai against the twenty black figures.

Furthermore, Lin Mubai was already injured.

And on his side…

He still had four ferocious beasts with him.

Four beasts that could not only stand their ground against Lin Mubai but also possessed immense vitality.

Most importantly, he still had Qian Wu with him, and also some backup forces outside of the throne room. Why then, would he be afraid of the Dragon Protection Squad?

Lin Tianrong’s brazen laughter echoed across the throne room.

At that moment, a brilliant light flew into the room and sped across Lin Tianrong’s head. It was as though a comet had graced the majestic throne room.

In an instant, it reached the spot above the raging phoenix.

The phoenix was obviously taken aback by this sudden encounter. It looked upwards with its flaming eyes in shock and horror.

It then saw a fist.

A fist that was right in front of its eyes.

Boom!

The phoenix felt its body tremble violently before it fell straight towards the ground. It then caused a huge explosion and gravel scattered in all directions.
