Martial Cultivator

"I didn't expect that you could progress so far."

The Wei Family Head lamented once again. His previous lamented had expressed surprise that Li Heng could actually walk until the end of Nepenthe. This time, he was lamenting that Li Heng had even progressed further within it.

Li Heng looked at the Wei Family Head and said, “I told you before, just think less and serve fewer masters, and it won't be so difficult.”

The Wei Family Head chuckled. “You're lecturing me?”

From his perspective, Li Heng was nothing more than a eunuch - he was just a servant for life. Even if he was the Great Liang Emperor's servant, at the end of the day, he was still just a servant.

“Sometimes, being a servant is better than being a dog.”

Li Heng shook his head, the aura on his body growing stronger. The Wei Family Head was forced to take half a step back under the pressure.

The Wei Family Head responded coldly, “The Wei Family has never been dogs.”

Li Heng did not argue, he simply smiled.

A wound suddenly appeared on the Wei Family Head's face, and a drop of blood fell from it.

The Wei Family Head watched the droplet fall, then flicked it with his finger. In an instant, a vast sea of blood suddenly materialized before Li Heng.

The sea of blood was boundless, about to engulf this chief eunuch of the palace.

Li Heng's hair began to stir in the air.

He waved his hand.

A rift suddenly tore through the sea of blood, forcing it to part and surge away to either side.

Li Heng sliced through the blood sea, driving the Wei Family Head back several steps once again.

The Wei Family Head's expression turned ugly, but he ultimately stopped retreating. The aura around him surged wildly, climbing to new heights. After cultivating for many years, he wanted to prove to certain people that he was not just someone who hid in the shadows scheming.

Li Heng's face remained emotionless, it was just that his eyes brimmed with boundless killing intent.

……

……

Grant Tutor Wei was the first to attack. Although he was forced to act, as a cultivator at the end of Nepenthe, he more or less had some confidence.

Unfortunately, he soon fell into boundless fear.

Because the person he was facing was not an ordinary powerhouse at the end of Nepenthe, but an unparalleled powerhouse who had fought the Demon Emperor without defeat.

In this world, if the Demon Emperor could be said to be truly invincible, then this Emperor was likely unrivaled among humans.

He was just a martial artist.

But such a martial artist had never appeared in the annals of history.

This was an incomparably powerful martial artist.

Grant Tutor Wei's figure was enveloped by infinite streams of qi in the sky. Even though he quickly tore open a gap, he made little progress before being engulfed again by the endless qi.

The Great Liang Emperor did not even glance at him. Grant Tutor Wei was trapped in the night sky, unable to get close to the Great Liang Emperor at all.

The Great Liang Emperor kept his gaze fixed on the Chairman of the Heavenly Imperial Institution in front of him.

Among the three powerhouses at the end of Nepenthe, only this man's realm was the highest and most deserving of attention.

The Chairman of the Heavenly Imperial Institution had not made a move, he also simply stood in place.

“Still not making a move?”

The Great Liang Emperor's voice echoed through the night sky, clearly directed at the Chairman of the Heavenly Imperial Institution.

The Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman shook his head and said, “Someone like Your Majesty has not yet reached your weakest moment.”

The Great Liang Emperor chuckled, “Are you waiting for Us to grow weak?”

“If Your Majesty is human, then naturally, there will come a time of weakness."

The Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman slowly spoke. Although he said this, given the current circumstances, it seemed extremely difficult for the Great Liang Emperor to grow weak.

After all, of the three powerhouses at the end of Nepenthe, the Wei Family Head had already been intercepted, and the Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman himself had not taken action, only Grand Tutor Wei had made a move. Based on his cultivation, it was unlikely that he could accomplish anything meaningful.

The Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman's words seemed to suggest another layer of meaning.

That was, someone else would arrive tonight.

But the Wei Family had already brought three experts at the end of Nepenthe, along with many other Nepenthe powerhouses. Within the Divine Capital, aside from the academy's dean, it was unlikely there were any other Nepenthe cultivators.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hence, no one else should be coming.

Even if someone comes, they would not be a powerhouse at the end of Nepenthe, and they would not be of much help to this situation.

But looking at the Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman, it seems he is expecting something else.

He seems to know some insider information.

The Great Liang Emperor said calmly, “No matter what you're waiting for, if We don't want you to wait for it, then you won't get to see it.”

Before the words had fallen, Grand Tutor Wei suddenly fell from mid-air, landing on the square and creating a large crater.

The Great Liang Emperor walked toward the Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman with his hands behind his back, his emperor robes swaying. At this moment, it was akin to the sovereign descending upon the world!

The Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman slightly furrowed his brows. Even he had not expected that Grand Tutor Wei could not even manage to restrain the Great Liang Emperor, and had been defeated so easily.

Looking at it this way, just how high is the realm of this Great Liang Emperor?!

No wonder he was someone who fought the Demon Emperor and did not lose.

The Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman sighed and had no choice but to walk toward the Great Liang Emperor.

The Great Liang Emperor looked at the Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman, very calm. There was no killing intent or emotion in his eyes, but everyone present felt the Emperor's killing intent.

The Wei Family was from foreign lands, so there had always been opposition. Given the events of tonight, it was not worth getting angry over, but this Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman was an official of Great Liang. He had come here to assassinate the Emperor, and that was something that could not be allowed.

Earlier, the Great Liang Emperor said he would start with Grand Tutor Wei, it was simply because he was older and easier to kill. But he never intended to begin killing with him.

If the killings were to start, the first to die should be the Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman in front of him.

He had no reason to live.

Hence, the Great Liang Emperor was prepared to start writing tonight's story here.

Kill the Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman first.

The Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman's expression grew solemn after feeling the Great Liang Emperor's murderous intent. After so many years of serving in Great Liang, he knew just how powerful the Great Liang Emperor truly was. In this situation, he did not think he had any chance of victory.

“What are you still waiting for?”

Looking at the Great Liang Emperor, the Heavenly Imperial Institution's Chairman suddenly spoke.

As his words fell, several figures suddenly emerged from behind him, rushing towards the Great Liang Emperor.

These were the Nepenthe powerhouses who had not taken any action today.

These powerhouses would have the ability to serve as guest retainers in any sect in the foreign lands. In some smaller sects, they could even become sect masters.

When they joined forces, they were definitely not to be underestimated.

After all, these were Nepenthe powerhouses, not just any random people.

But who they faced was that martial artist, who was like a towering mountain. The first Nepenthe powerhouse was sent flying with a single glance from the Great Liang Emperor, and the other Nepenthe powerhouses exchanged glances, seeing the terror in each other's eyes.

They were the powerhouses of this world, and there were few in the entire world who could defeat them. But in front of the Great Liang Emperor, Nepenthe powerhouses who had not reached the end of Nepenthe could be sent flying with just one glance.
