Chapter 670: Chapter 664 What Virtues and Abilities (1 Update)
A gust of icy, fishy wind blew past, and the Sixth Prince jerked suddenly, his thoughts seemingly ebbing back to him in waves. He breathed heavily, like a person who had just been rescued from drowning, desperate for breath, shivering from the cold, so cold that he wanted to inhale all the surrounding air in one gulp.
"Sixth Prince..." Shang Ke carefully supported the Sixth Prince; otherwise, the prince might have even fallen to the ground. Although Su Chen’s gaze was quiet and his expression indifferent, at that moment, the Sixth Prince felt that Su Chen was like a ferocious giant beast capable of devouring a person.
"You... you... Su Chen! This is the Imperial City! What are you planning to do?!" The Sixth Prince bit his teeth, enduring the immense fear, and shouted angrily. Although his voice was loud, there was a distinct tremble in it, and by now, the Sixth Prince had completely stopped mentioning killing Su Chen—not because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t. Gao Chi and Xiaao Yi were dead, after all!
Gao Chi and Xiaao Yi were the strongest men he had at his disposal! They were said to be his guards, but in truth, the Sixth Prince always treated these two with great respect, and they were one of the Sixth Prince’s main sources of confidence. But now, right before his eyes, Gao Chi and Xiaao Yi were dead, just like that—as if it were all a dream!
Just how terrifying was Su Chen? The Sixth Prince couldn’t put it into words.
At twenty-three, effortlessly killing two warriors at the third level of the Creation Realm, he was beyond the description of a monster!
Such an existence, even with an entire dynasty’s power, would be very hard to come by once in a billion years, right?
Against such an existence, the Sixth Prince was powerless. Even the entire Royal Family would have to weigh many considerations. If they couldn’t kill Su Chen in one go, and he managed to escape to the deep mountains and forests, what then in ten, twenty, or a hundred years?
The Sixth Prince even began to regret. He shouldn’t have provoked Su Chen from the start, shouldn’t have called him indecent names, shouldn’t have said Su Chen didn’t deserve...
Unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.
Now, not only could he no longer gracefully step down, but he had also lost two Supreme Powerhouses!
The Sixth Prince’s heart twisted in pain.
"Sixth Prince, I know this is the Imperial City!" Su Chen laughed, the corner of his mouth curled with a hint of chilling intent. The Imperial City? Scary, huh?
He himself! Sometimes very tolerant, not bothering with trivialities, but sometimes very petty, as with the current Sixth Prince, Su Chen actually wanted to kill him, because, after all, the Sixth Prince had wanted him dead earlier, hadn’t he?
A trace of killing intent appeared on Su Chen’s face.
"Not good, he... he’s actually harboring killing intent!!!" Elder Huo was shocked, feeling a tingling on her scalp. Su Chen was actually... considering... to outright kill the Sixth Prince. What intense killing intent, what madness!
"She wants to kill the Sixth Prince?" The breath of the Seventh Princess stopped completely, she couldn’t care about anything else, and suddenly ran in front of Su Chen: "Su Chen, I... I have something to say to you."
"Seventh Princess, go ahead," said Su Chen, hiding the slight trace of killing intent that leaked, with a smile.
"Call... call me Chu Xuan," the voice of the Seventh Princess softened a little.
"Alright, Chu Xuan."
"You can’t kill the Sixth Prince, not... not now at least, and certainly not in the Imperial City. If you kill him, what little the Royal Family was willing to overlook, willing to forgive you for, would be impossible. A prince of the Royal Family is dead, no matter how talented you are, how valuable you may be, no matter the consequences, vengeance must be exacted. Otherwise, what the Royal Family loses isn’t just face, but the deterrent power built up over countless years," Chu Xuan said urgently.
Su Chen nodded.
If Chu Xuan were simply trying to seek mercy for her Sixth Brother and wanted him to spare her Sixth Brother, Su Chen would definitely not nod.
But Chu Xuan’s starting point was for him, Su Chen, which made him feel good.
Moreover, he could tell that Chu Xuan was sincere.
So, he would give her this face.
Not killing the Sixth Prince within the royal city would be taboo, but what about killing him outside the royal city in the future? Would that not be possible?
Killing the Sixth Prince now would indeed mean completely burning bridges with the Royal Family.
Though, with his current strength, he wasn’t afraid and could at least survive, not dying at the hands of the Royal Family—he could do that.
But it would also mean he couldn’t attend the birthday banquet of the Seventh Princess tomorrow night. Perhaps the Royal Family wouldn’t be in the mood to hold the Seventh Princess’s banquet at all, thereby ruining Chu Xuan’s important 20th birthday.
Seeing Su Chen nod, Chu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. She truly was considering Su Chen’s interests; as for whether the Sixth Prince lived or died, frankly, she didn’t feel much. In her heart, the Sixth Prince was not as important as Su Chen, even though at the moment, her feelings for Su Chen consisted only of curiosity and a smidge of fondness, nowhere near liking him deeply or being in love. Still, the Sixth Prince couldn’t compare to Su Chen.
The reason was simple: the familial love within the Royal Family was weak.
An emperor with a hundred or two hundred children, among whom there were princes and princesses that she, Chu Xuan, had never even met.
Over the past twenty years, she and the Sixth Prince only saw each other during major royal events, meeting once or twice a year—it really didn’t amount to much.
Among the younger generation of the Royal Family, she was only somewhat close to the Third Prince, having a sibling-like relationship. The rest, including the First Prince and the Second Prince, were no different from strangers.
"Today, I will not kill you, your life is spared for now," the next second, he lifted his head to look at the Sixth Prince.
Inside, the Sixth Prince Chu Xing finally began to relax a bit.
When that trace of murderous intent from Su Chen was revealed just now, he truly felt like he had been targeted by a venomous snake, genuinely thinking death was imminent. That feeling was too horrifying!!!
"However, the lesson you deserve cannot be omitted," Su Chen added, his smile growing threefold richer, and suddenly, he bellowed, "Get lost!!!"
That roar came with a terrifying Divine Soul Shock, not a Soul Sword or Soul Needle, otherwise the Sixth Prince might not have died but would have suffered severe damage to his Divine Soul. The shock was just right to avoid injuring the Sixth Prince’s Divine Soul, but even so, the Sixth Prince still felt as if his Spirit Space had been struck by an earthquake. His head reeled, he was staggering, his face turned pale, and he was almost collapsing to his knees, his legs powerless and his mind on the verge of breaking.
Shang Ke exerted all his strength to support the Sixth Prince, hastily retreating.
"Soul Technique?" Elder Huo, hidden in the air, was once again shocked. Previously, when Su Chen executed Xin Sha, Gao Chi, and Xiaao Yi, he used a Soul Technique, but it was too fast and not well-observed—a fleeting glimpse. Elder Huo couldn’t fully judge Su Chen’s Divine Soul level. But now, Su Chen casually executed a Soul Shock, confirming the strength of Su Chen’s Divine Soul, which was... shockingly intense, even more powerful than that of Elder Huo, an Old Monster who lived for ten thousand years and was at the ninth level of the Creation Realm.
