Chapter 162 I don't need a reason to kill her!
"Steward Du, why does the Minister of War want to arrest Young Master Li?"
The second prince was puzzled and dispatched troops to surround and capture him, clearly showing that he was really angry.
After hearing Du Peng's explanation, he looked puzzled.
Unexpectedly, this young man is so audacious that he dared to seriously injure even the son of the Minister of War. He truly is a young man who is not afraid of tigers.
Suddenly, he thought of something, raised an eyebrow and smiled at Li Wudao: "This prince can step in to help Brother Li out of this predicament, as long as Brother Li agrees to work under me for three years, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wudao was taken aback.
Isn't this second prince a bit too persistent?
"I definitely can't be your subordinate, but I can help you once, but you need to agree to one condition..."
Upon hearing this, Li Sheng frowned: "What are the conditions?"
Li Wudao glanced meaningfully at Sun Qian standing to the side and said jokingly, "As long as she dies, I will help Your Highness once."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Sun Qian's already stiff body trembled violently, her face turned completely pale, and deep terror flickered in her pupils. Even her breathing stopped for a moment.
"Brother Li, your request is too much. I am afraid I cannot grant it!"
To her slight relief, Li Sheng's face darkened, and he angrily refused.
He naturally assumed that Li Wudao had deliberately found an excuse to make him back down, and that he would not be foolish enough to agree, as that would make him, a prince, seem too cheap.
Most importantly, he didn't think the boy was worth the price he was paying.
"In that case, there's nothing to discuss."
Li Wudao shrugged.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he darted forward, grabbing Sun Qian by the neck and lifting her up.
This unexpected scene shocked everyone.
"Brother Li, what are you doing? Let go!"
The second prince was both shocked and furious, and wanted to step forward to stop him.
"Don't get in the way!"
Li Wudao turned his head and looked at him coldly. His temperament changed drastically, and he was no longer gentle and casual. Instead, he gave people a sense of oppressive sharpness.
"How dare you speak to His Highness the Second Prince like that..."
"Boy, you already have a way to die!"
The guards' expressions changed immediately, and they drew their weapons and rushed forward.
However, Li Wudao merely glanced at them and coldly uttered a single word, "Get lost."
The next instant, the guards at the True Essence Realm were all struck as if by lightning, their faces turning pale as they staggered backward.
"You... who are you?!"
After retreating more than ten steps, the guard leader suppressed the churning blood and qi in his chest, his expression one of great alarm.
With just a cold shout, he was able to disrupt the energy flow within his body, demonstrating an unimaginable level of strength!
This scene sent chills down everyone's spines, and they all gasped in shock.
With just one word, he deterred a group of True Yuan Realm experts, causing them to show fear and dare not step forward. What domineering power and strength this was!
Du Peng was also stunned, gaining a deeper understanding of Li Wudao's strength, and his eyes showed even more awe.
Such strength surpasses even that of the Pavilion Master...
"this........."
Li Sheng's pupils contracted slightly, and he dared not stop him any longer. He stood there blankly, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
From the moment Li Wudao won the bet, he guessed that the other party's strength was not to be underestimated, but he never expected that the other party's strength would be so formidable.
"You shouldn't have appeared in front of me again..."
Li Wudao's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he tightened his grip on Sun Qian's hand.
Last time, he was protected by a sect and was not yet powerful enough, which is why he was able to escape safely. He was just worried about not finding an opportunity to eliminate him completely.
This time, he would never raise a tiger to cause trouble.
Seeing the boy's cold expression, Sun Qian knew that begging for mercy would be useless, so she simply pleaded with the Second Prince, "Your Highness, save me! He's going to kill me!"
Seeing her pale face and incessant coughing, Li Sheng couldn't bear it any longer and said in a deep voice:
"She was just a woman who couldn't even kill a chicken, why did you want to kill her?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wudao gave a cold laugh, "I don't need a reason to kill her!"
Whether Sun Qian indirectly forced the original owner to his death or made things difficult for him in every way, she was destined to atone with her death.
"you........"
Li Sheng's expression changed slightly; he was now in a difficult position.
Sun Qian was, after all, traveling with him. Now she was being attacked and killed by others, while he, the dignified Second Prince, could only stand by and watch helplessly. This would inevitably lead to gossip and damage to his image.
Li Wudao took a deep breath, preparing to crush Sun Qian to the death and settle the long-standing grudge.
"You can't kill me!"
Just then, the latter struggled frantically and cried out, "Don't you want to know who's behind your father's abduction?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wudao's eyes narrowed slightly.
Unsurprisingly, this vile woman's appearance in the capital of the Great Yu Dynasty was not accidental, but rather a premeditated act.
Immediately afterwards, he casually tossed Sun Qian to the ground and said coldly:
"I'll give you three breaths to reveal the identity of the mastermind behind this, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"
"I'll talk, I'll talk..."
Feeling the threat of imminent death, Sun Qian was utterly terrified. Her lips parted, and she stammered, "Yes..."
However, no sooner had the words left his mouth than a whooshing sound came from the wind.
"boom--"
The next instant, Sun Qian's body collapsed to the ground without warning, her pupils dilated, and her face still showing fear.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that a sharp dagger had pierced the back of his neck, killing him instantly.
The entire room fell into dead silence, and everyone's expression changed drastically.
"Who?!"
"Assassins! Protect the Second Prince!"
Several attendants, as if facing a formidable enemy, surrounded Li Sheng like stars around the moon.
"Everyone, seal off the Imperial Treasure Pavilion! Don't let the murderer escape!"
Du Peng's face contorted with rage as he angrily gave the order.
Since he took over the position of manager of the branch, no one has died in over thirty years. This is tantamount to provoking the entire Imperial Treasure Pavilion, and is an unforgivable crime!
"No need to chase them, they've already run far away."
Li Wudao gazed at one of the windows, a glint of purple light flashing in his deep eyes.
Faintly visible, several miles away, was a figure completely covered in a wide black robe, who moved swiftly and disappeared.
"To silence them..."
Li Wudao pondered silently, further confirming the identity of the person behind the scenes.
Looking at the woman whom the original owner both loved and hated, now dying so hastily before his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed and let out a soft sigh.
This feud has finally come to an end...
at the same time.
The Duke's Mansion.
In the fragrant garden, a young man in fine clothes stood proudly by the pond, idly scattering fish food.
He was tall and slender, with a noble and imposing appearance. A black and gold battle sword hung at his waist. His aura was deep and sharp, making him truly extraordinary.
This person was none other than Shen Ming, a true disciple of the Xuantian Sect.
He also possesses both thunder and fire spiritual bodies and is hailed as the greatest genius of the Great Yu Dynasty in the last hundred years.
"Master——"
At this moment, a servant cautiously stepped forward and said respectfully, "The Imperial Treasure Pavilion requests an audience with Your Excellency."
