Chapter 398: Domineering and Overbearing
"Unparalleled War King!"
Xiao Yi's face revealed a solemn expression.
In the void.
That towering figure stood like a mountain, and the aura emanating from him alone far surpassed that of anyone present.
Even Nalan Qianqiu and Qi were firmly suppressed by him.
This man was none other than one of the two most powerful men in the Great Qian Dynasty, the Unparalleled War King—Yang Yuhuan!
Hiss!
The people engaged in the fierce battle all stopped.
Sun Yao's face was filled with ecstatic joy, barely fending off the attackers under Lady Yama's protection. Though he was on his last breath, he made it, clinging to life. Sun Yao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and yelled with all his might, "King, my Lord King, save me..."
The Unparalleled War King merely glanced at him.
Without a word.
Yet, the form of the Unparalleled War King descended lightly from the sky.
Sun Yao's face twisted with pride and savagery as hatred-filled eyes rested on Xiao Yi, he hysterically yelled, "Hahaha, Xiao Yi, you're done for! The King has arrived, even if Emperor Qian himself were here, he couldn't save you, you're done for, done for..."
Nangong Yi had lost an arm, and now, with a pale face, tears of relief after surviving a calamity fell, "Brothers, the War King is here... He's come to save us..."
"Hahaha, you scum from the Xiaoshanhe Institute, with His Highness the War King's arrival, you're as good as dead!"
"Our Nangong Family won't be destroyed..."
A crowd of the Nangong Family's warriors wept with joy.
The warriors of the Xiaoshanhe Institute, however, were tense as they gathered around Xiao Yi.
A man's reputation, a tree's shadow.
The Unparalleled War King, Yang Yuhuan!
He was the only one in the entire Great Qian Dynasty who could rival Emperor Qian in terms of power.
Most of the ten governing Great Generals in the Great Qian Dynasty came from under Yang Yuhuan's command.
He controlled troops numbering over ten million in his hands.
What's more...
There were rumors that the Unparalleled War King, Yang Yuhuan, was the mastermind behind Xue Yilou!

This was the first time Xiao Yi had come face to face with Yang Yuhuan!
Whoosh!
Yang Yuhuan landed in front of Xiao Yi, looking at everyone expressionlessly, silent.
It's this kind of silence.
That made Nalan Qianqiu and Qi show unprecedented gravity, Nalan Qianqiu said solemnly, "Rending my respects to His Highness the War King!"
"This humble one pays respect to Your Highness!" said Qi.
Yang Yuhuan just glanced at them, still not uttering a single word.
In his eyes...
Qi was nothing but a dog raised by their royal family, as for Nalan Qianqiu... he was just a merchant, in his view.
He naturally looked down on him.
Qi narrowed his eyes, already accustomed to Yang Yuhuan's arrogance.
Nalan Qianqiu also narrowed his eyes, showing a hint of displeasure.
Yang Yuhuan continued to stare at Nangong Shengji, his voice calm as ever, betraying no emotion, "Do they know you've joined my ranks?"
Nangong Shengji nodded with difficulty, clenched his teeth, and said, "To report to Your Highness, I've already told them that our Nangong Family has come under the War King's command. General Sun and the two Emissaries of Black and White also informed them... They didn't take the War King's mansion seriously at all..."
Helped by several people, Sun Yao also came forward.
His face was full of resentment and viciousness, glaring at Xiao Yi before then looking at Yang Yuhuan, he said, "My Lord King, we've already made clear our identities and origins, but Xiao Yi ignored them. He almost exterminated the Nangong Family, and he has left both me and Lord Yama severely injured, and Lord Yama was even killed by Xiao Yi. You must seek justice for us!"
Lady Yama, her mouth stained with blood, transmitted her voice saying, "Master, you must avenge me and my husband!"
"Hmm!"
Yang Yuhuan nodded, his gaze shifting to Qi, but he didn't even spare Xiao Yi a glance, "Qi, knowing that the Nangong Family has joined my ranks, why did you dare to make a move?"
Qi's expression remained unchanged as he spoke indifferently, "This one did not know!"
"You lying dog, he..."
Before Sun Yao's words could settle,
Boom!
An invisible shockwave slammed into him, sending his body flying backward.
Wow!
Sun Yao spat out blood, his face a picture of disbelief as he looked at Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan said indifferently, "If this dog won't obey, it's still a dog raised by my imperial family, not to be commanded by you!"
"Your Highness, please calm your anger... I, I realize my mistake..." Sun Yao, struggling to endure the intense pain, stammered fearfully.
Only then did Yang Yuhuan shift his gaze to Qi and Nalan Qianqiu, "Both of you, sever one of your arms!"
"Prince of War, although I, Nalan Qianqiu, am not your equal, I am still a master of one pavilion of Treasure Pavilion. Aren't you afraid of offending my Treasure Pavilion by doing this?" Nalan Qianqiu narrowed his eyes, his expression unfriendly as he spoke.
Yang Yuhuan scoffed coldly, "Are you threatening me?"
The power of Treasure Pavilion far exceeded that of the Great Qian Dynasty.
However...
That was the overall Treasure Pavilion within the Nantian Dynasty.
A mere division of Treasure Pavilion within the Great Qian Dynasty, among the countless other divisions, ranked at the very bottom and was considered insignificant. How could he take them seriously?
"You..."
Nalan Qianqiu frowned.
Just as he was caught between a rock and a hard place,
Xiao Yi's voice slowly rang out, "What great authority the Prince wields!"
"Hmm?"
Yang Yuhuan glanced towards Xiao Yi, raised an eyebrow, and revealed a sneer of ice-cold mockery, "Are you the Xiao Family's cast-out, Xiao Yi?"
Whoosh!
The faces of all present changed at once.
With the rise of Xiao Yi...
The trials of his past decade or so had also spread, not known by everyone, but well-known by those of some status.
Eight years of imprisonment.
Expelled from his home.
Reduced to a son-in-law living off his wife...
These were labels Xiao Yi could not shake off.
"My master is a true dragon among men; the Xiao Family casting him out shows their lack of discernment..." Jin Feiyan shouted, her neck straining.
"Hmm?"
Yang Yuhuan raised an eyebrow, turning his gaze to Jin Feiyan.
"Not good!"
Xiao Yi's face suddenly changed, golden light swirling around his body as he released his vital energy with a snap of his fingers. Alas, he was still a step too slow. With a muffled boom, Xiao Yi's directed energy was mostly dissipated, yet a strand still struck Jin Feiyan.
Wow!
Jin Feiyan screamed miserably as she was flung backward.
Luckily, she was caught by Fu Yuan standing beside her. Even so, the terrifying force sent Fu Yuan and Jin Feiyan stumbling back more than a dozen meters before they came to a halt.
Fu Yuan grunted.
He promptly channeled his vital energy, infusing it into Jin Feiyan's body.
That was what finally stabilized her condition,
And saved her life.
But after this ordeal, Jin Feiyan would likely have to spend days, if not weeks, bedridden.
"Are you alright?"
Xiao Yi looked at Fu Yuan, who indicated that Jin Feiyan was not in life-threatening danger, and he let out a sigh of relief. Looking down at the slowly awakening Jin Feiyan, he said with a tone of helplessness, "Silly girl, that's the Unrivaled War Prince. Do you have a death wish?"
Despite her pale face, Jin Feiyan stubbornly replied, "I, I can criticize my master, but he, he is beyond reproach..."
Seeing the stubbornness on the little girl's face,
Xiao Yi let out a heavy sigh, his eyes narrowing into slits as his gaze settled on the domineering and tyrannical Yang Yuhuan...
