Chapter 157: Zhao Tianqi's Demise

and earth, so beautiful that one dared not look directly at them.Sunlight spilled over him, as if coating him in a layer of gold. His whole body emanated an icy aura, a coldness that was both arrogant..."Hmph, he ran fast! It's a pity that arrow didn't kill him." Thinking of Zhao Tianqi's siege that day, Su Qingying's ink pupils flashed with cold killing intent.

Dare to scheme against her You're asking for death! She's always one to get even.

"Wow!"

When these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned! Their understanding of Su Qingying was completely overturned to a new height.

Originally, that arrow was shot by Zhao Tianqi! Even if she is the Eastern Mountain Princess, this is too outrageous, right After all, he's the prince of a country, the future heir apparent of Nanjiang!

Now she just blurted it out so openly, which was undoubtedly slapping the face of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom.

"Ying'er, what happened" Su Ziyix supported her unconditionally. He understood Su Qingying's character; she wouldn't target others unless they wronged her first. There must be a reason for this.

Although she knew Su Qingying was always bold and reckless, he didn't expect her to be so arrogant. After being surprised, Xuen Yuan Locen coldly glanced at her with a solemn face, "Eastern Yue's Fifth Princess, the Southern Border Prince has no grievances with you, why did you hurt him"

"West Ming Emperor, you should ask the South Border Prince about this. Ask him why he laid such a deadly trap out of the blue. Ask him why he wants to kill us all" Jun Liye leaned back lazily in his seat, a languid voice laced with the chilling intent to kill.

As soon as Jun Liye said this, the stunned crowd instantly understood.

It turned out that Zhao Tianqi, this fool, wanted to attack Su Qingying and Jun Liye at the Four Nations Grand Ceremony. Not only did he fail to kill them, but he was also shot by an arrow in return! He tried to steal a chicken but ended up getting pecked instead!

It's no wonder he was eager to leave as soon as he woke up. No matter how the imperial physician tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen and insisted on returning home, just afraid that Su Qingying and the others would come back for revenge.

"How can this be! Zhao Tianqi is too arrogant! Do we, the Eastern Yue paper figures, not exist He dares to set his sights on Ying'er!" Upon hearing this, Su Ziyix struck the table with a palm, causing the wine bottle to tremble. His face turned ashen with rage.

"Such actions truly make him a disgrace to be a prince! Let alone the fact that Princess Wu shot him with an arrow, even if he were killed it wouldn't be too much!" Xuanyuan Mo also felt disgusted, secretly cheering for Su Qingying's arrow.

"Zhao Tianqi is courting death!" Shangguan Jinghong only knew about this now, secretly cursing Zhao Tianqi for being a fast-running turtle grandson. Otherwise... he'd see how he'd deal with him!

All present were important figures, and they all looked down upon Zhao Tianqi's actions.

Ronger Yue on the side also had a somewhat ugly expression. Looking closely, one could even see a cold gleam flickering in his eyes.

Just then, Jun Li opened her mouth lightly, her shimmering crimson eyes tinged with a smile that seemed real or not. With a bone-chilling tenderness, she raised an eyebrow at Su Qingying, "Ying'er, there's no need to be angry. This king has sent people to Nanjiang to intercept them as fast as possible. Now they should be catching up to them."

Although Zhao Tianqi had already left Ximing two days ago, he was injured. His wound pierced his heart, and he barely survived. He couldn't even walk, let alone travel quickly because the pain was unbearable.

After they returned, Jun Liye immediately dispatched people to intercept him that very night.

Come on, no one has ever survived after messing with Jun Liye! He dares to touch his woman, he's asking for death!

"This fast" Su Qingying's eyes widened, "...You, you sent people to intercept them"

Damn! That's so unfair, not even telling her about revenge!

Jun Liye smiled, as if acknowledging it. Su Qingying asked again, "Did you kill Zhao Tianqi"

Hearing this, Jun Li's alluring red lips curved into a faint smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. A flash of bloodlust disappeared behind her crimson eyes. "How can I take Zhao Tianqi's life He is the prince of Nanjiang after all I only severed his tendons and took a little something from him as interest."

Silence!

Everyone was stunned, watching as these cruel and heartless words were uttered with a smile by that handsome and devilish man. A chilling fear unlike anything they had ever felt rose in their hearts.

Not only did he break his tendons and ligaments, but he also castrated him. This Zhao Tianqi is completely disabled, and from now on, he can only spend the rest of his life in bed.

Though he wasn't killed directly, this was a hundred times more cruel!

Even Xia, who was as cold and ruthless as Xuan Yuan Luo Chen, was stunned speechless. How could someone have the backing of Nanjiang Kingdom

This demonic bloodlust and cruelty completely exceeded their imagination!

After a long pause, Shangguan Jinghong rose from his seat and gave Jun Liye a approving glance. He laughed with glee, "Well done! Killing him would have been too easy for him! He deserves to suffer for a lifetime! How do you feel, little one Relieved"

"..." A deathly silence fell upon the crowd, followed by a chilling wave of sweat trickling down their spines.

"He got off cheap!" Under the gaze of all eyes, Su Qingying smiled faintly and coldly threw down four words that chilled everyone to the bone.

"Damn! These two people are downright bloodthirsty, their cruelty is appalling."

"Ying'er, you..." Su Ziyi's face was complex, looking at his younger sister who sat beside him, familiar yet strange. He opened his mouth several times, but remained speechless.

Su Qingying's kind of coldness and bloodthirst emanating from her bones, even he felt a chill down his spine.

"Brother Emperor, do you think I'm cruel" Su Qingying slightly restrained the killing intent on her body and turned to meet Su Zixiong's astonished gaze.

Su Qingying was never a kind and innocent person. She was a top-tier assassin in the 21st century, known for her ruthless efficiency. She held grudges and treated others with coldness and cruelty, as if it were second nature to her.

"Ying'er, Imperial Brother..."

Without hesitation, Su Qingying interrupted Su Ziyue's words. She spoke calmly and indifferently, her phoenix eyes terrifyingly still: "Imperial Brother, do you think I am cruel Or cold I, Su Qingying, was born this way. What is kindness What is conscience I'm sorry, I don't have them! I am not a saint. I would rather betray the world than have the world betray me!"

Xuan Yuan Luocheng stared at the calm and indifferent woman below. His brows were furrowed, dark and complex, flickering between light and shadow, his heart unable to describe what he felt. In his deep amber eyes, too many complexities flashed past.

This woman seems to be able to give herself a different kind of shock every time.

Perhaps he himself hadn't realized it, but that arrogant and aloof face had unknowingly taken root in his heart. Some feelings underwent a subtle yet profound transformation.

Something was brewing in his heart, wanting to break free from its confines and surge forth. Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's handsome brows furrowed as he forcefully suppressed the turmoil within him.

“Such a woman who would rather bear the world’s hatred for me than betray me. She is truly worthy of my affections. So what if she's ruthless So what if she's cold My woman, even if she wanted to overthrow this world, I would personally hand it over to her!” His icy and domineering voice was filled with the arrogance of looking down upon the world. Jun Li Ye's voice, like a thunderbolt, exploded in everyone's ears.

"Ari..." Su Qingying trembled, staring at him blankly, her eyes slightly red.

It's great, this man is his own.

Avoiding his gaze, Jun Liye stared at Su Ziyi and calmly stated a fact: "Imperial brother, do you know how many assassins Zhao Tianqi sent to attack us that day Two hundred archers, all death squads!"d. A handsome face broke into a mischievous grin, "Hey there, little girl. I haven't done anything to offend you, have I Why are you running away from me"He blocked her path, Su Qingying had to stop,...
