Master Head of the Dragon Soul

However, there were tens of thousands of people witnessing the scene. If he were to lower his head now, what would people say about the Su family? How could he possibly maintain his reputation within the imperial family social circle?

Su Rui clenched his teeth and took a deep breath, his gaze sharp. "Chu Tianxiong, you are merely a member of the royal clan. Considering your seniority, you should understand the hierarchy better than I do. I am the Impe-" Boom!

Before he could finish his words, Chu Tianxiong's hand came crashing down.

Su Rui was promptly hammered into the ground with a loud bang. His face turned pale with fright.

"Do you even have the right to address me by my name?" Chu Tianxiong coldly scrutinized Su Rui. Then, he spoke with an air of superiority, "Forget you, even your grandfather, Old Prime Minister Su, has to respectfully address me as 'Your Highness' whenever he sees me. He has always treated me with respect. Yet, you, a mere nephew of the Su family, dare to bring up the topic of hierarchy with me?"

The crowd was shocked as they sucked in a sharp breath. Lord Chu was indeed decisive and ruthless in his actions as always.

"How dare you disrespect the prince!"

Several imperial guards felt their hearts sink as their expressions turned ghastly. They were responsible for Su Rui's safety. Therefore, if anything were to happen to him, their lives would be in danger as well.

As a result, they had no choice but to draw their weapons as a show of warning, even though the other party was Chu Tianxiong.

Yet, they hadn't even made a move when Chu Tianxiong flicked his finger.

Crack.

The precious adamantium blades that the imperial guard was equipped with shattered, turning into a fine powder that disappeared in the wind and snow.

What?

The guards were dumbfounded, completely stunned.

"Cease provoking me," Chu Tianxiong swept his impassive gaze over them and said coldly, "Otherwise, your heads will be next."

The guards were drenched in cold sweat as they started trembling in fear.

They had no doubt that if Chu Tianxiong truly wanted to end them, their lives would have been lost long ago.

The story of Chu Tianxiong conquering 17 countries in one night had spread throughout the land. Nevertheless, they finally understood how terrifying this god-like man was after witnessing his might with their own eyes! Wei Zhongxian's pupils contracted, and his heart trembled uncontrollably as he thought of the implications.

He had originally believed that after years of pulling the strings behind the scenes, he had successfully built up a Martial Arts Alliance strong enough to go against Lord Chu As time passed, the circulating rumors gradually supported this claim.

Regardless, he had come to realize that he had been wrong. He had never been so wrong in his life!

It wasn't just in terms of individual might. He was far inferior and completely outmatched when it came to other aspects. He would never be able to win against Lord Chu in terms of status and influence. Now, Chu Feng was also added to the mix. He couldn't even win against Chu Feng.

Su Rui's heart started racing in fright. His ace-in-the-hole, the imperial guards, meant nothing in the eyes of Chu Tianxiong. Soon, his heart was overwhelmed by panic.

"L-Lord Chu, are you sure you want to go against the entire Imperial Su Family?"

Su Rui dared not show any disrespect toward Chu Tianxiong after that powerful display. So, he could only use the Imperial Su Family status to suppress him.

"The imperial family... The Su family

is not the only imperial family in this

world," Chu Tianxiong coldly swept his gaze over Su Rui. "Are you perhaps suggesting that my family, the Chu family, isn't a part of the imperial family as well? Even Di Du's Crown Prince Hua has to address me as 'King Father.' So, who are you to suggest otherwise?"

As Su Rui's face turned extremely humiliated, Chu Tianxiong glanced at Chu Feng and calmly uttered a sentence that instantly caused a seismic shock to ripple across their silent audience, "What qualifications do you have to threaten to make my

son, Chu Tianxiong's son, your servant?"

Boom!

Everyone felt as though their brains had exploded as those words registered in their minds. It wasn't just a mere explosion. Instead, it was an explosion that almost made them fall to their knees. This time, the fear that Su Rui had been desperately hiding finally appeared as his face was drained of all color.

The audience felt as though their eyes were popping out of their sockets as they turned into statues with the same facial expressions.
