Ancient Inheritance, Cao Xing's Trump Card.
Chapter 587 Ancient Inheritance, Cao Xing's Trump Card.
As a flash of cold light appeared, the laughter abruptly stopped.
The prince's head flew off on the spot.
In an instant! The crowd watching the projection screen jolted!
They also recovered from the murderous intent emanating from the duke.
It seemed to be to dispel the fear in their hearts, or perhaps to cover up the shame and anger in their hearts.
They shouted loudly.
"Good! Well done!"
"Good job!"
Immediately, cheers and applause resounded throughout the entire royal city!
Several Warden heroes walked over, dragged the Duke's body away, and threw it directly into the pool of blood.
"Gudu... gudu..."
As the hero-level Duke's corpse was absorbed, bursts of blood bubbles rose from the blood pool.
In no time, it boiled over completely!
A strong surge of blood energy continuously emerged.
Furthermore, a gleaming door has already begun to emerge from within it.
Seeing this, the elders of the Watchers on the field also showed excitement in their eyes!
Because they knew that the opening of the dimensional gate meant that the Blood Legion was about to descend!
Next comes the moment to purge these corrupt systems and let blood flow across the entire continent!
At the same time, the Watchers leader also sat up from his throne.
He spoke slowly.
The sound wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
"All residents of the Kingdom of Velen, please remember this."
"All people are born equal!"
"No one is born a slave, an animal, or a tool to be exploited by others!"
"Faced with oppression, we should rise up in resistance, not live a life of ignominy."
"The royal trials these past few days are just the first act. From today onwards, many more nobles and criminals will be punished and tried!"
"Follow me, and we will create a world of complete equality and freedom!"
Below, the residents of the entire main city of Sel were filled with fervor.
They shouted excitedly, "Equality! Freedom!"
"Equality! Freedom!"
"We are willing to follow the Watchers!"
The common people became increasingly fanatical.
The atmosphere was about right.
Then, the leader of the Watchers beckoned once more.
The next moment, a figure dressed in a black royal robe with disheveled hair was lifted into the air by a special force.
At that moment, the civilians also saw this figure.
His pupils contracted violently in an instant!
Because this person is none other than the king who rules the entire Kingdom of Velen and stands at the pinnacle of power.
For a moment, everyone seemed both frightened and extremely excited!
Because they knew that the one who was about to be beheaded was the most powerful person in the kingdom!
The watchman read out the king's crimes.
"King Velen: Zevelin Donchi".
"Knowing that the Church of Light was a cult, they still cooperated with it and secretly sent a large number of civilians as sacrifices to the God of Light, committing countless blood debts."
"Furthermore, Zevelin condoned the crimes and indiscriminate killings of members of the royal family below him."
"Seventy-two years ago..."
The recounting of each crime made the eyes of the common people turn red with rage.
They shouted in unison, "Kill him! Kill him!"
"Slay the king! Slay the king!!!"
The deafening battle cries pierced through the city's barrier and soared into the sky!
At the same time, the leader of the Watchers asked, "Zevelin, is there anything else you'd like to say?"
At this moment, King Velen's eyes were filled with a sense of desolation.
In the past, he stood here, enjoying endless praise and adoration.
All the subjects of the kingdom would kneel down when they saw him.
Now, however, he is like a spineless stray dog, subjected to criticism and abuse from his own people.
After a moment, he sighed and then slowly spoke.
"I, Zevelin Donchi, have lived for over nine hundred years since the founding of the Kingdom of Velen. I believe that although I have not accomplished anything remarkable, I have done my duty to the people of this kingdom."
"More than nine hundred years ago, you had no idea what those days were like."
"This group of self-proclaimed righteous and self-proclaimed guardians of humanity summoned a horde of insane and evil beings, and overthrew the ancient Kingdom of Andon."
"They thought that this would allow everyone to live a good life."
"However, what you do not know is that without order, more civilians will die and more families will be broken."
"Including my relatives, my parents, who also died in the turmoil they created."
"Compared to that period, the number of people who died in the kingdom due to accidents over the past nine hundred years is nowhere near as many as the number of deaths committed by you Watchers during that time!"
"In truth, you Watchers are far more hateful and deserving of judgment than we filthy nobles!"
The old king's words resonated deeply, gradually silencing the millions of civilians in the city.
The legendary Watcher wielding a greatsword shouted, "Shut up!"
The Watchers leader remained calm and waved his hand, "Let him speak."
King Velen, seemingly having gone all out, shouted excitedly, "I single-handedly established the Kingdom of Velen, transforming chaos into order, enacting various laws, and building great cities!"
"I have given more civilians a place to live, so they don't freeze to death or get killed by wild animals, and more people can survive."
"And what have you Watchers done?"
"You did nothing!"
"They just came out and shouted some slogans, then left without doing anything to satisfy your so-called sense of justice."
After he finished venting, the people of the main city gradually quieted down.
At the same time, he looked at the figure sitting on the throne with a puzzled expression.
Only then did the Watcher leader speak calmly: "A thousand years ago, we were almost successful."
"Just as we were preparing to consolidate our power, the human empire sent demigods to end our plans."
"And we were forced to evacuate, which led to widespread bloodshed."
"Of course, I'm not trying to make excuses for myself; failure is failure."
"But I want to say that this time, we will not fail again."
"When blood washes everything away, we will rebuild a new order."
"Starting with your Kingdom of Velen, we will spread to the entire continent until we completely overthrow the human empire!"
Upon hearing this, a sneer appeared in King Velen's eyes.
"Really? I'm really looking forward to the day you succeed."
"Come on! Kill me!"
"If I absorb the energy from my body, I should be able to open the blood portal, right?"
King Velen was now prepared for death.
The Watcher leader looked at the elder beside him.
This legendary expert slowly raised the greatsword in his hand, and a special divine power was added to the blade.
Slaying a legendary creature is not as easy as slaying heroes or masters; it requires using all one's strength to kill it in one blow.
"Buzz!"
The greatsword, imbued with divine power, emitted a metallic tremor, carrying the might to annihilate everything!
Just as he raised his broadsword high, preparing to carry out the execution.
The legendary Watchers on the field, as well as the leader, seemed to sense something.
A faint sense of crisis emanated from the sky.
"Ok?"
At that moment, everyone looked up at the sky.
Then, a terrifying sword aura descended straight down!
And in an instant, it sliced through the barrier that covered the entire main city, and then slashed straight at the Watcher leader!
Seeing this, all the Watchers legends on the field were both shocked and furious!
"Be bold!"
"Your Excellency! Watch out!"
However, facing that sword energy, the leader of the Watchers remained seated on that ancient throne, without even moving an inch.
"Shh!"
The terrifying sword energy struck his body, and the throne was instantly pulverized.
Even the ground beneath him was cleaved open, leaving a crack that stretched for thousands of meters!
However, when all the turmoil subsided, the Watcher leader appeared to be completely unharmed.
Even the hem of his clothes wasn't torn.
He slowly stood up, shook his sleeves, and then said calmly:
"I am the guardian of humanity. I have inherited the will of the ancient human emperor. Your sword energy cannot harm me."
This scene was nothing short of miraculous! Facing such terrifying sword energy, he stood unharmed, as if some powerful being was truly protecting him!
The legends on the field once again showed a fervent look in their eyes!
They shouted: "Watch over all living beings, leader of humanity!"
"Guardian of all living beings, leader of humanity!"
Just then, a hoarse, mocking laugh came from above.
"Heh... He merely borrowed divine power to block my sword, yet he dares to claim to be the successor of the ancient human emperor. Isn't he afraid of biting off more than he can chew?"
A figure appeared in the sky—it was the Ice Crystal King!
At that moment, millions of eyes looked up at the sky.
Upon seeing who it was, one of the Watchers elders immediately turned cold.
This elder of the Watchers is none other than the legendary figure who failed to rescue Tarshid in the last time in Everfrost City and was killed by the old king with a few swords!
"Old man, you actually came here!"
How did you know about our operation?
Faced with his questioning, the old king chuckled and said, "You Watchers are putting on such a grand show of trying these nobles in the capital city of Velen. You don't really think you can keep it from leaking any information, do you?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of all the Watchers on the field.
After all, they had been preparing for this operation for a long time.
The protective barrier surrounding the entire main city further prevented any possibility of messages being transmitted.
Therefore, they also had some doubts about the old king's statement.
But now is not the time to dwell on these things.
The Watcher Legend stared at the Ice Crystal King, his expression unfriendly, and said, "It seems you really are insane, daring to come alone and fight against so many of us Legends!"
"This time, you have no chance of escape!"
"Once we kill you, the Ice Crystal Kingdom will also be destroyed!"
The old king glanced at him indifferently and said, "Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"
"Everyone, come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, powerful auras emerged from various areas!
Like the master of life, or like a creature from another dimension, six figures blotted out the sky.
These are none other than the six legendary powerhouses: Queen Youlan, King Gray Mist, and War King Kunard!
"Buzz!"
The auras of the seven legendary powerhouses erupted simultaneously, and the terrifying pressure caused millions of civilians below to kneel down involuntarily.
Even the barrier that limited the domain was cracked by this force!
"Click! Crack!"
Before the Watchers could reinforce the barrier, a cloud of gray mist emerged from the cracks.
Then, the barrier that enveloped the entire main city shattered completely!
Everyone saw the sky above them again, and they also saw the seven legendary powerhouses!
At this moment, not only the Watcher elders, but even the Watcher leader looked up at the sky with some surprise.
He murmured, "Ice Crystal Kingdom, Orchid Kingdom, Gray Mist Kingdom, Kunard Kingdom..."
"Interesting. All four kingdoms are joining forces. Are you preparing for a do-or-die battle with us?"
"He does have some guts, but his strength is still lacking."
"Since you've all come together, I'll just take care of you all here, so I don't have to divide my forces to deal with you one by one later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the Watchers slowly flew into the air, and a vast divine power gradually rose from his body.
Endless golden divine power illuminated the entire main city, and a kingly aura erupted from him!
Even more shockingly, everyone saw a golden humanoid phantom appear behind him!
The phantom radiated boundless golden light and power, and an ancient and majestic aura emanated from it.
Faced with this aura, even legendary-level experts couldn't help but feel thoughts of worship and kneeling.
It was as if he were a true emperor, the emperor of the human race!
The expressions of the seven legendary powerhouses, including the Ice Crystal King, all became extremely serious.
While everyone's attention was drawn to the golden phantom behind the Watchers leader...
A figure crept over furtively, approaching the center of the square.
The target was none other than the blood pool shrouded in a barrier.
In the crowd, a Watcher Elder spotted him and immediately shouted, "This guy is trying to get close to the blood pool! Stop him!"
Upon hearing this, all the other legends on the field reacted, and dozens of eyes instantly locked onto this person.
That figure was none other than Cao Xing.
At that moment, he was holding a strange bag in his hand, as if he was about to do something.
But now that it has been discovered, it has to be stopped.
"Damn it, I was planning to sneak in and unleash another burst of power, but I was still interrupted."
Among the many Watchers legends, one of them recognized him once again.
"It's him! That S-rank otherworldly lord!"
"He is the one who killed many of our Watcher heroes, and Elder Raven also met with an accident while trying to assassinate this otherworldly lord!"
At that moment, everyone knew his identity.
That otherworldly lord who destroyed the Church of Light and had previously killed many of their Watchers!
Even the Watchers' leader turned his attention to it.
Although he had been paying attention to Cao Xing for a long time, this was the first time he had officially met him.
After examining it for a while, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
Just then, a legendary Watcher in the crowd made a move.
The cold light appears!
A gleaming broadsword suddenly slashed towards Cao Xing!
The speed of this strike was simply too fast; when a legendary expert makes a move, an ordinary hero has no chance to react!
Cao Xing also felt as if he had been struck by the blade; a sharp pain shot through his back, as if he were about to be cleaved in two.
At the crucial moment, Queen Youlan flicked her wrist, and an orchid suddenly appeared in mid-air.
With a "ding," the orchid deflected the knife.
The terrifying blade energy grazed Cao Xing's body, and also cleaved a crack several kilometers long in the entire main city.
Cao Xing was out of danger, and a chill ran down his spine.
He pointed to the sky and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, you Watchers are all shameless!"
"One legend after another, trying to deceive and ambush me, a weak lord from another world!"
Meanwhile, the Watchers leader didn't seem to want to waste any more words.
He immediately gave the order: "I'll deal with Elton and Shia."
“Go and have two legendary figures kill this otherworldly lord and leave his corpse behind.”
He spoke as if announcing something perfectly ordinary, but in his heart he had already sentenced Cao Xing to death.
The other Watchers legends echoed, "Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two legendary figures charged towards Cao Xing at the same time!
The Watcher leader, radiating golden light, enveloped the seven legendary figures, including the Ice Crystal King, with an overwhelming aura.
He's going to fight seven people by himself!
"Shh!"
The old king, wielding a semi-divine artifact, was the first to unleash a sword aura.
However, the Watcher leader did not dodge or evade, but directly took the blow head-on.
Similarly, the sword energy was neutralized by the golden phantom behind him.
"Elton, give up. Your semi-divine artifact can't hurt me."
He spoke as if it were a matter of course.
But the Ice Crystal King remained unmoved.
"How will you know if you don't try?"
His eyes burned with a fierce fighting spirit, as if he really wanted to fight a demigod.
Below, Cao Xing remained completely unmoved in the face of the two legendary figures who were attacking him.
Just before their attack, a gray mist enveloped them.
Then, Cao Xing disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this, the leader of the Watchers commented, "The Gray Mist King possesses the legacy of the Mist Lord; this ability is indeed impressive."
"But until you reach demigod status, you're just an ant."
As soon as he finished speaking, golden light blazed brightly around him!
They directly caused the Ice Crystal King and the other seven legendary figures to retreat in defeat, facing collapse in the blink of an eye.
His demigod-level combat power was on full display!
The other Watcher Legends gradually surrounded them. With so many legendary powerhouses and a demigod, the old king and his companions were in extremely dangerous situations!
However, Cao Xing, who had just disappeared, reappeared.
And it's even closer to the blood pool.
Looking at the battle above him, he said in a low voice, "It's not just you who have demigods."
"Elder Chief, come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sense of vicissitude and vastness suddenly rose from a corner of the palace!
The moment this aura appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone turned their gaze in that direction at the same time!
Then, a strange figure appeared and slowly walked towards them.
Its aura was equally ancient, its body covered in gray scales, and when it moved, its tail swayed slightly behind it, like that of a lizard walking upright.
