Chapter 421 The Curtain Falls, Fame Rises
Chapter 421 The Curtain Falls, Fame Rises
The situation has completely reversed.
The Fourth Prince, stripped of his supernatural power, was sent flying by Fan Wei's attack! His full armor shattered in the deep red cracks, turning into metal fragments that fell to the ground.
He is still powerful even without the aid of supernatural powers.
But the moment Fan Wei revealed his true domineering fighting spirit, he had already cracked the Fourth Prince's fighting will!
This power, which symbolizes supreme authority in the empire, is like a chicken or a dog that was originally being beaten up suddenly transforming into a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
The fourth prince landed with a thud. As he fell into the dust, he wanted to fight back, but he couldn't muster any strength. All he could see was the bewilderment and unease of his common sense and pride being shattered.
"Why aren't you fighting back? Where has your arrogance gone?"
He descended from the sky and stomped on the Fourth Prince's chest, Fan Wei looking down with disdain and saying, "You only know how to bully the weak. It's truly disappointing to let someone like you gain power!"
Boom! He raised his sword again, combining holy light, black flames, and crimson true domineering battle aura together.
A blade of energy, flashing with chaotic light, slashed down! The Fourth Prince, unable to resist, was cut open and roared in pain. The blade nearly cleaved him in two, and various energies erupted within him, leaving his entire body shattered.
"This strike is for those you killed!"
Fan Wei coldly pronounced the verdict, then raised his knife again.
A terrifying force swept away the sunken pit, causing it to sink even deeper! Amidst endless flashes of blade light, the Fourth Prince's appearance was completely destroyed, fear filled his eyes, and his entire body was a bloody mess!
"No, no...!"
Boom! Fan Wei's knife still fell, causing the extraordinary body to twist and deform in the light, leaving only a pitiful howl after its former arrogance.
"This strike is for those you have offended and trampled upon!"
At this moment, the onlookers' mentality underwent a complete 180-degree turn. Amidst the violent flashes of blades, they all began to worry that the Fourth Prince might be brutally killed by Misr Van!
Many people felt as if they were in a dream, their minds in complete chaos, unable to believe that what they were seeing was real.
After two strikes, Fan Wei raised his sword again and brought it down without hesitation! This strike was a strike of revenge, "For myself, I must rid this world of pests and scum!"
The fourth prince was on the verge of death, and the fact that he could withstand three consecutive blows from Fan Wei was quite remarkable.
Just as Fan Wei was about to raise his sword again and finish off the barely breathing Fourth Prince in one go, restoring peace to the world, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait a minute!"
A cold voice rang out beside Fan Wei. It was the Sixth Princess approaching, surrounded by several guards protecting her safety.
"You've vented enough, Mr. Mischel."
The Sixth Princess said calmly, "Give me some face, and I'm willing to pay the price for my brother's actions."
The knife in his hand paused. Fan Wei turned his head and stared silently. In the dead silence, the oppressive aura emanating from him made the guards beside the princess sweat and feel extremely nervous.
Although I really wanted to end it all with one strike, my rationality remained intact.
Fan Wei knew that while killing this guy would be satisfying, the dead wouldn't come back to life, and it would cause a huge upheaval in the empire, which would be very detrimental to both him and Dreyen.
Although the struggle for the crown prince was fierce, no prince or princess was allowed to die before a new emperor was chosen.
The unchecked harm caused in the past was so immense that it led to this unchallengeable imperial consensus.
Another crucial point is that the time for the Martial Realm is almost up. Although Fan Wei has a feeling that the side effects of the Crimson Release will not be as severe as before.
But he was bound to be weakened. Now that he had killed the Fourth Prince, he might not be able to escape unscathed, not to mention that Yunxin and Luo Na were nearby.
For the sake of the greater good and for the safety of his friends, Fan Wei let out a soft sigh.
A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan; let's spare this guy's life.
Sheathing his sword, Fan Wei grabbed the mangled Fourth Prince and made a demand of the Sixth Princess: "I want you to resurrect all the civilians he killed in the battle just now."
"This is impossible."
The Sixth Princess shook her head. "Putting aside the fact that the expenses are too high, the souls burned by the Emperor's brother's war have no chance of being resurrected."
Fan Wei narrowed his eyes. "Then what's the point of keeping him around?"
“I will do my best to compensate the families of the victims, even at the cost of several thousand or tens of thousands of gold coins. Is Mr. Misr Van satisfied with this compensation?”
After a moment of silence, Fan Wei tossed the barely breathing fourth prince over.
A guard caught the fourth prince and gave him a potion to use. The sixth princess quietly observed Fan Wei and suddenly spoke up: "Although our first meeting was not pleasant, Mr. Misel..."
"There is a possibility of cooperation between us."
Without waiting for a response, the Sixth Princess nodded slightly and led her entourage away in a carriage.
Watching the group walk away, and after the dust settled, Fan Wei began to feel tired. His friends also came over, and Drain, who had just confronted the Sixth Princess's men, patted Fan Wei on the shoulder.
He wanted to say something, but only opened his mouth and then smiled.
Quel'Clay said from the side, "It's an incredible miracle. You are indeed an extraordinary strongman, Mr. Misl!"
To defeat an extraordinary powerhouse as an ordinary professional! That's absolutely a legendary feat! Many guests looked on with fervor; if he's this powerful now, how much more impressive will he be when he reaches the extraordinary realm!
Misr Van also possesses amazing culinary skills, plus...could he be another strong contender for the throne?!
Because of his domineering aura, many people's minds are turning, and they really regard Fan Wei as a possible lost crown prince!
It might not be this emperor; perhaps it was a previous emperor who had an affair overseas? True domineering fighting spirit is the strongest and most powerful evidence!
His Majesty the current Emperor is suffering from dementia, and the loss has been controlled.
Even relatives might have something to say about them!
Fan Wei was unaware of these ambitions and speculations, and even if he knew, he didn't want to get involved. For him, this was a difficult but meaningful and rewarding battle.
However, after the outburst, all that remained was utter exhaustion.
Fan Wei looked at the land that he and the Fourth Prince had ravaged, and gazed into the distance at the residential area that had been destroyed, where wisps of smoke from the 'fire of war' were still rising obliquely into the air.
The residents who died and could not be resurrected will probably never know that their deaths were caused by the whims of a powerful person.
If Fan Wei hadn't defeated the Fourth Prince, this pain would probably have gone uncompensated in the slightest. The empire doesn't care about the weak; this is the most utter contempt in the world.
But the extraordinary power firmly maintains this discrimination.
Fan Wei remained silent.
Perhaps, this world needs to change...
