Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 522: Qiu Xing

Chu Nan swiftly charged towards Ji Wudao, simultaneously controlling the Dragon Slaughter Tower to immobilize him.

At this moment, Chu Nan was full of confidence. He estimated that if he could absorb the Dragon Qi within Ji Wudao, he might be able to form a fifth layer of the Sea of Clouds!

All around the arena, everyone had their eyes wide open.

Ji Wudao’s defeat was something no one had anticipated. No one thought the formidable Royal Family would ever be defeated.

Ma Liuniang was especially dumbfounded, her mind blank, unable to believe what she was seeing.

In contrast, Gu Nianxue’s face was full of expectation. She silently clenched her fist, waiting for the final outcome of the martial competition for marriage.

On the arena, just as Chu Nan was about to absorb the Dragon Qi from Ji Wudao, someone suddenly shouted sharply: "How dare you harm His Highness? You court death!"

Before the words even fell, an infinite killing intent locked onto Chu Nan,

immediately followed by a dark figure descending from the sky, launching a palm strike at Chu Nan.

Bang!

The Dragon Slaughter Tower was flung aside, and Chu Nan rapidly retreated, increasing the distance between him and Ji Wudao.

Soon, a middle-aged man clad in Black Armor landed beside Ji Wudao.

At this moment, Ji Wudao already lost consciousness. The man picked him up, glaring at Chu Nan angrily: "Defying superiority, you should be executed!"

Boom!

As his voice fell, the terrifying aura of a Sixfold Celestial Martial Artist swept across, making everyone present feel the pressure of death and instilling fear in their hearts.

"It’s Qiu Xing, the Grand Commander of the Jingwu Guard from the Imperial Palace. He’s a prominent figure in our Qin Kingdom, personally ensuring the safety of the Eldest Prince."

"Qiu Xing is a Sixfold Celestial expert. Even in front of the Royal Family, he’s someone significant, and a target for strong races to curry favor with. He’s appeared!"

"With Qiu Xing’s support, the Eldest Prince inheriting the throne in the future is all but guaranteed!"

...

Chu Nan’s expression was grave. He positioned the Dragon Slaughter Tower protectively by his side, saying in a deep voice: "On the arena, life and death are irrelevant, even if he is a prince, there’s no exception!"

A Sixfold Celestial Martial Artist was beyond Chu Nan’s capability to contend with, and even escaping would be difficult if a fight broke out.

For cultivators of the Ninefold Celestial, the difference between each stage is vast, akin to the gap of the heavens!

"Still daring to retort? You’re courting death!" Qiu Xing saw Chu Nan’s rebuttal and immediately showed anger on his face.

The Royal Family’s dignity cannot be infringed. If they say you’re wrong, then you are!

Boom!

Qiu Xing suddenly launched another punch, with fist power manifesting as a massive black fist shadow, resembling a meteor, blasting across the void.

This time, Chu Nan was prepared. He immediately invoked his fist power, urging the Dragon Slaughter Tower to shield in front of him.

With a loud clang, the Dragon Slaughter Tower emitted an ear-piercing vibration, and Chu Nan’s expression changed as he spat out blood, retreating several dozen steps to stabilize himself.

Chu Nan’s strength could easily defeat those at the Fourfold Celestial stage, but against a Sixfold Celestial Martial Artist, he still had no resistance.

"Serves him right! This insolent brat deserved this long ago. How dare he dream of marrying my precious daughter?" Ma Liuniang’s face lit up with joy seeing Chu Nan injured by Qiu Xing.

Gu Nianxue, on the other hand, was full of worry. No one expected that after Ji Wudao’s defeat, Qiu Xing would stand up for him.

Qiu Xing stepped forward, saying in an indisputable tone: "Chu Nan, kneel down now and apologize, then come with me to the Imperial Palace. His Majesty will judge your offense of disrespect!"

The terrifying pressure firmly locked onto Chu Nan. If he dared to refuse, he would be crushed into fragments.

Faced with such an immense gap in strength, anyone would choose to comply temporarily to preserve their life.

However, Chu Nan wiped the corner of his mouth and said: "What crime have I committed? You have no authority to judge me!"

As he spoke, Chu Nan secretly communicated with Lu Yao, intending to have her help him through this crisis.

Of course, if Lu Yao intervened, it would undoubtedly shake the heavens and the earth, making it very difficult for him to remain in Imperial Capital Ba Yang City.

Seeing Chu Nan’s stubbornness, Qiu Xing immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you! In that case, I’ll first cripple your limbs, then take you into the Imperial Palace."

With that, Qiu Xing once again gathered his Spiritual Power, preparing to strike Chu Nan.

At this moment, Chu Nan called upon Lu Yao to reverse the situation.

"Qiu Xing, is it for you to declare my True Martial Elder guilty?"

Suddenly, a melodious voice came from afar. Before Qiu Xing could respond to its source, an invisible giant hand descended from the sky.

Boom!

"Ah!"

Qiu Xing let out a miserable scream, feeling as if a million giant mountains were pressing against his body, forcing him and Ji Wudao to lie directly on the ground, unable to move.

The terrifying pressure easily subdued Qiu Xing, yet the stage below him showed not a single crack.

This wasn’t because the stage was robust, but due to the astonishing control, rendering the pressure harmful only to Qiu Xing.

Chu Nan followed the voice upwards, seeing Lu Daochang slowly descend from the sky, shielding him and saying: "True Martial Elder, if you have affections for Miss Gu, why not discuss it with me?"

"A marriage matter, it’s just a word from me."

"Why bother lowering yourself to fight such ants on the arena?"

Lying on the ground, Qiu Xing showed a pained expression, exclaiming in horror: "Supreme Sect Leader, how could you intervene!"

Qiu Xing, despite being a Sixfold Celestial, was like an ant before Lu Daochang.

The Supreme Sect Leader is a figure of the Ninefold Celestial realm, the number of such powerhouses in the Celestial Crossing Realm can be counted on one hand.

For such an elusive master to stand up for a small figure like Chu Nan, if not witnessed personally, who would dare believe it?

For a moment, everyone at the martial competition for marriage stood up, respectfully addressing Lu Daochang: "Greetings, Supreme Sect Leader!"

Lu Daochang stood, and no one dared to remain seated. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

This was out of respect for Lu Daochang, with fear being the prelude to respect, and the foundation of that fear being unmatched strength.

The Ancestor Sect has had many Sect Leaders over thousands of years, and several Ninefold Celestial powerhouses.

Yet, only Lu Daochang dared to call himself the Supreme Sect Leader, and was acknowledged as such.

Because even among the Ninefold Celestial Martial Artists, he is an exceptional and terrifying figure, even Emperor Qin must show respect.

Ma Liuniang’s heart raced wildly. In the Imperial Capital, the most she had seen was Ji Wudao as a Ninefold Celestial cultivator, never imagining she could see Lu Daochang one day.

But at the sight of Lu Daochang, her heart was filled only with fear.

"The Royal Family values rules highly, my True Martial Elder has already won, yet you disregard the rules. In that case, I must show you what rules truly are!" Lu Daochang looked down on Qiu Xing with an indifferent expression.

In his eyes, it seemed as if Qiu Xing didn’t exist at all.

Chu Nan was also full of surprise; Lu Daochang’s appearance was unexpected.

A Ninefold Celestial powerhouse protecting him in the Imperial Capital was undoubtedly the ultimate protective talisman. Even if Emperor Qin personally took action, he’d have to think twice!

Qiu Xing’s face was full of anger, but he was left speechless.

Facing an unreasonable and terrifying strength, any words are futile.
