Chapter 184 Devastated
Bai Ke's sudden move shocked everyone in the Regent's Hall of Mo Yun Kingdom. They all fell silent, looking at the nonchalant Bai Ke with fear.
The courtier's head rolled to the ground, his eyes still wide open, but now facing the deathly pale-faced King Moyun.
"Your Majesty, it seems your ministers are not very obedient. I, Bai, will teach them a lesson on your behalf. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me for overstepping my bounds!"
After saying that, Bai Ke turned around, pointed to the head on the ground, and laughed at his junior brothers and sisters behind him:
"Remember this: all disciples of my Tian Ce Palace are of incomparably noble status. If we encounter such fools who don't understand the situation, killing them is no big deal. I believe the King will give us a fair answer, right?"
As he finished speaking, he turned to the King of Moyun and his ministers with a smile and nodded, as if he hadn't been the one who had killed them.
The terrified courtiers stared at Bai Ke in horror, as if they were seeing an ancient, legendary demon.
Legend has it that those demons are handsome and love to eat human hearts. They appear in the human world every full moon. The disciples from Tian Ce Palace are exactly like those legendary demons.
Poor Lord Liu only spoke out for justice, and in an instant his head was separated from his body. How pitiful and lamentable!
These civil and military officials were only concerned with their own fate and felt sorry for themselves, paying no attention to the ashen-faced King Moyun.
In an instant, it seemed as if Bai Ke alone had taken over the imposing atmosphere of the Regent's Hall.
Seeing the current situation, Bai Ke smiled and his aura surged, and a celestial dragon, seemingly real, appeared in the hall.
The dragon seemed to emerge from Bai Ke's chest, winding and circling in the hall. Suddenly, it let out a long roar, and then there was a thud as the King of Moyun fell off his throne.
Bai Ke laughed heartily, clutching his stomach and gasping for breath. "Haha... Your Majesty needn't... haha... there's no need to be in such a hurry. Let's wait until I defeat your country's warriors before we talk about it!"
The faces of everyone in the hall turned bright red. Looking at the disheveled king, they were both angry and anxious, and their hatred for Bai Ke intensified.
The Second Prince, who had been so outstanding yesterday, was nowhere to be seen in the main hall for some reason. Only a few attendants hurriedly helped up the King of Moyun, who had fallen to the ground.
Seemingly disheartened, the King of Moyun Kingdom didn't say anything more after getting up. He simply waved to Bai Ke and the others and then said:
"Young Master Bai possesses a majestic aura, which I greatly admire. However, my throne is not very sturdy, and it even caused me to trip and fall just now. Perhaps Young Master Bai should find something else?"
Bai Ke casually cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "It's alright, I'm not going to use it as a seat anyway, so this will do. I'm very satisfied."
Seeing Bai Ke's disrespectful attitude, the already furious King Mo Yun became even more enraged. A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes, and then he stood up and said:
"Very well, since Young Master Bai insists on this, then I will not be stingy with these mere worldly things."
"Alright then, regardless of whether Young Master Bai wins or loses today, I will present this throne to him as a congratulatory gift, to uphold the friendship between my Moyun Kingdom and the Tiance Palace. What do you say?"
Bai Ke smiled as he looked at the cunning and shrewd King Mo Yun, thinking to himself that old people are indeed very shrewd.
He had originally wanted the throne beneath him to humiliate him, but he never expected that this guy would take advantage of the situation and hope to exchange a mere throne for equal status with the Tian Ce Palace.
It's utterly ridiculous. He worked so hard to win the position of the Holy Son of Tian Ce. If the Tian Ce Palace is just a place where any Tom, Dick, or Harry can easily be matched, then what is he?
His idea as the ruler of Moyun Kingdom is too good to be true!
Ignoring the suggestion made by the King of Moyun Kingdom, Bai Ke turned his head and pretended to exchange a few words with Su Ziyuan behind him, then turned back and asked:
"Ahem, time is of the essence. I wonder if the warriors under Your Majesty's command are ready? Bai Ke is already eager to try out Your Majesty's throne, haha!"
Bai Ke laughed wildly and unrestrainedly, but the King of Moyun's face was even more unsightly than a withered tree in the dead of winter, and his dry voice echoed in the hall.
"Our warriors are still waiting for the disciples of Tian Ce Palace at the Imperial Palace training ground. Young Master Bai, please follow me to the training ground."
Bai Ke said with a smile, "Haha, that's how it should be. The king is indeed decisive. I admire him. Let's go now."
After saying that, Bai Ke led his junior brothers and sisters out of the magnificent Regent's Hall.
After Bai Ke and the others left, the King of Moyun's eyelids twitched. He finally managed to stand up and then ordered the eunuch to lead the way.
The group formed a long line and it took them quite a while to reach the vicinity of the training ground.
Bai Ke knew that the ruler of Mo Yun Kingdom was definitely stalling for time, and that the people sent by Mo Yun Kingdom to wait at the martial arts arena early on must have done something.
After all, it's their home turf, so they can't afford to cheat or do anything underhanded. Bai Ke and his team really have nothing to say.
In fact, Bai Ke volunteered to fight the other three opponents alone because he had this in mind.
My fellow disciples have been cultivating in the mountains for a long time. Although their cultivation is superb, when it comes to actual combat ability, they are probably not as good as the martial artists of Moyun Kingdom.
As the team leader, he naturally had an obligation to set a good example. As for Lin Xiu... he had long forgotten about him. This Holy Son Selection was essentially his own personal show.
Thinking of this, Bai Ke felt a surge of heroic spirit and leaped to the center of the martial arts arena.
He smiled at Zheng Zhonglou and the other two who were sitting on the sidelines, saying, "The wheels are in trouble. Your king has warmed up my throne for me. Let's finish this quickly so that I can retrieve my throne!"
The second prince was furious. He raised his spear and thrust it at Bai Ke, shouting, "You scoundrel, how dare you insult my father like this? Today it's either you or me, it's a fight to the death!"
At the same time, Zheng Zhonglou, together with General Elu, rushed over with their swords, blocking all of Bai Ke's escape routes and forcing him to confront the Second Prince's spear head-on.
Bai Ke laughed heartily, and the playing cards in his hand flew out with a whoosh, forming a circular array in mid-air to protect himself within.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he saw several playing cards within the circular formation wobble and slide off the ground with a whoosh.
The King of Moyun and his companions, who were standing outside, saw everything clearly. When they saw Bai Ke's playing cards suddenly appear behind them, they knew something bad was about to happen.
Just as they were about to shout for them to be careful, the playing cards were already stuck together in pairs. Then, red and blue light suddenly appeared and then turned into a blinding white light.
A huge crater appeared on the once flat land, and three dark figures lay at the bottom of the crater, their fate unknown.
Bai Ke slowly descended from the sky, and with a casual wave of his hand, the scattered cards flew into his hand like swallows returning to their nests. The competition had already ended in a crushing defeat.
