Chapter 1991: Battle (1)

Bang!

Suddenly, a force impacted the young man's back and pierced through his body. First going stiff with eyes popping in shock, the lad glances down at his chest where a giant hole was showing with blood continuously gushing out. He couldn't believe this, but belief didn't matter as the life gradually left this mortal body that went limp in the next.

Everyone in attendance became horrified, but more importantly, stunned by this picture. They knew the monarch was behaving out of character compared to their expectation, but they didn't expect her to start killing everyone who came to celebrate her supposed good day.

"Annoying." Willow snickers disdainfully at the target of her wrath before scanning the crowd staring over with the same kind of ridiculing faces from way past. "If anyone dares say another word, your ending will be just like him!"

Unable to speak due to the unshakable fear, the crowd surrounding the now lifeless corpse split apart to scatter. There's no longer any sort of admiration in their eyes when facing the monarch, only boundless panic….

"Shi… Shifu…" Mo Xin Yan was also frightened by Willow's method so she couldn't stop stuttering when trying to complete a sentence.

"You shut up too!" Willow's fierce gaze instantly shuts the girl's mouth up, her murderous intent radiating across the air, "I will have you taste the consequences of betraying me later!"

Mo Xin Yan's body froze, her legs unable to find the strength of standing up. In her eye, this woman was no longer the same powerful and peerless teacher, but an evil and sinister being that brought fear to those who watched.

"Yan'er, you and Xiachen wait here for me." Di Cang slowly loosened the arm around his wife's shoulder and warily looked over to the monarch.

The two are having a standoff. Before the playing field was uneven, but now, it's settled and the true fight was about to begin. It's suffocating for those watching like they're inside a hurricane.

Mo Xin Yan knew this was the only chance she had to flee. Before anyone noticed it, the girl had crawled away and disappeared into the back end of the estate.

"Di Cang, you're the one who forced me to do this!" The corners of her mouth curved into a sneer as Willow's killing intent spread across the surroundings.

"Father, do you need me to help you?" Bai Xiachen slowly stepped forward and took his spot beside the demon king. He may be small and young, but he's already well on his way to inheriting his old man's character.

"Just make sure to protect your mother." Di Cang smiled indifferently and turned down the offer from his son.

"Don't worry Father, as long as I'm here then no one can touch Mother. I won't let a single finger touch her dress." The steambun pats his chest like a big man.

The demon king didn't say more, only faintly smiling as he focused on dealing with the monarch who had already rushed towards their family.
