Emperor’s Domination

“Crack!” Just a bit more force and he would be able to end the prince.

“D-don’t b-be insane!” The prince nearly pissed his pants, never having been so close to death before.

He had such a bright future but death would spell the end to all of that.
Thus, survival trumped reputation and honor.

“Pl-please, le-let me down, let me down…” The frightened prince began begging for mercy.

“Fine, I’ll spare your life.” Li Qiye showed a rare moment of compassion.

He slowly put down the prince and the latter heaved a sigh of relief.
However, he then grabbed the prince’s ankle and raised him up again.

“What are you doing?!” The upside-down prince was horrified.

“Bam! Bam! Bam!” Li Qiye smashed him against the ground repeatedly without showing any mercy.

“Crack!” Blood and bits splashed everywhere while the youth screamed.
The sounds of crushed bones horrified the listeners.

They could feel his pain while watching the visceral and gruesome beating.

Finally, Li Qiye casually tossed him into a dirt pit nearby, just like a piece of trash.
He was at his last gasp from being mangled.

Spectators shuddered after seeing the gruesome assault.
His defeat earlier was acceptable since duels and deaths were common in the cultivation world.

However, it was rare to see a sadistic assault.
Li Qiye didn’t hold back despite the prince having powerful backings.

Their initial impression of him was that he was just a lucky parvenu.
Thus, the ferocious display only added to their shock.

They realized that he wasn’t a fat sheep with money at all.
He was a ferocious beast ready to bite.

“A maid of mine is a thousand times nobler than a king.
You all are nothing more than an insect, just me looking at you for a second is the blessing of three lifetimes.” Li Qiye told the crowd before leaving.

Ning Zhu was stunned for a moment before calming down and catching up.

Meanwhile, everyone stared at the half-death prince in disbelief.
No one refuted Li Qiye’s arrogant comment.

***

After leaving Armament City, Ning Zhu bowed towards Li Qiye and emotionally said: “Thanks for standing up for me, Young Noble.”

There was a hint of truth to the prince’s insult.
She was indeed a maid right now.

“Gotta look at the master before beating a dog.” He smiled: “No one can bully my maid.”
