Dropping those words, Zhang Jiangtao stormed out in a rage.

He didn't know the background of Xia Feng and the others, but to kick a strong Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Emperor to death with one blow, he most likely was a Martial Saint.

And besides, he had lost face in front of so many dignitaries. If he didn't get it back, how could he continue to mingle in the high circles of the Imperial Capital?

So, Zhang Jiangtao immediately hurried home and exaggerated the situation to his father.

When Zhang Guohai heard that the Barbarian Race had dared to bully his son, he was furious, and immediately gathered the Martial Attendants around him and the family's Honored Guests to rush to the noodle shop at once.

With two Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saints leading and over ten Earth Tier Martial Saints, they set off with great momentum, drawing the attention of the whole street.

Everyone was speculating, wondering which blind fool had offended the Zhang Family again.

Soon, Zhang Jiangtao brought the elite forces of his family and appeared in front of the noodle shop again.

With these Martial Saints backing him, he regained his arrogance, pointed at Xia Feng's nose as he entered, and laughed.

"You little brat, didn't think you'd really not run away. You thought I wouldn't find people?"

"Look for yourself, facing two Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saints, aren't you going to kneel before me?"

Zhang Jiangtao shouted, and the two Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saints behind him immediately erupted with unparalleled pressure, moving towards Xia Feng, trying to force him to kneel before Zhang Jiangtao.

However, as their pressure surged towards Xia Feng, it vanished like mud sinking in the sea, not causing any ripples.

Xia Feng had already finished his noodles and leisurely picked up his tea, taking a sip.

"Is this it? Is this all the strength your Zhang Family can openly muster?"

Facing Xia Feng's mocking inquiry, Zhang Jiangtao was infuriated.

With two Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saints, they could easily establish two Upper Grade Sacred Lands, yet this kid still dared to shout!

"Not going to weep until you're facing death's door, huh? Fine! Elder Zhang, Elder Huang, please take action and teach this kid a lesson!"

Zhang Jiangtao roared.

The two Honored Guests of the Zhang Family exchanged glances, somewhat unable to discern Xia Feng's true strength, especially since he had absorbed their pressure without a trace, which made them wary.

But since the young master ordered it, they still stepped forward and coldly approached Xia Feng.

"Kid, you brought this on yourself!"

The two snorted coldly and then attacked Xia Feng simultaneously, one with a fist, the other with a kick!

"Wait."

But just at this moment, a general with a frosty face and clad in heavy armor suddenly entered from outside.

The aura on this general was similarly terrifying, clearly also a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saint!

"Thunderstorm General."

Seeing the newcomer, they immediately halted their actions, turned to him with cupped fists, and greeted him respectfully.

Although all three were Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saints, Thunderstorm General was different from them.

He held an official position in the Territory Control Department, with a status and rank far higher than these Honored Guests.

Only a martial artist who had been tempered in the military and fought for the Great Xia Empire could earn the title of General.

After all, forged in the flames of battle, their strength naturally far exceeded that of ordinary Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saints.

"This person cannot be killed for now. He killed one of my Territory Control Department men, and I need to take him to the Execution Hall and execute him before the masses, by slicing him to death."

"Truly audacious; you killed one of my Territory Control Department men, and in the Imperial Capital no less. It seems you truly don't regard us at all."

"Soon, I will let you experience what it means to live a life worse than death, devoid of hope."

Thunderstorm General said coldly.

At the mention of the Execution Hall, everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath.

At the Imperial Capital Central Plaza, there stood a remarkably gloomy building. Anyone who seriously violated the Empire's laws would be taken to the Execution Hall, where they would be killed in an extremely brutal manner before everyone, as a deterrent to the troublemakers and those daring to challenge the Empire's authority.

Xia Tianming slightly furrowed his brow.

He remembered the Execution Hall; during his time as the Imperial Prince of the Great Xia Empire, only criminals of extremely heinous nature, nearly treasonous, would be subjected to the ultimate penalty there.

Yet now, merely for offending the powerful, the Territory Control Department planned to take them to the Execution Hall to save face?

The two Honored Guests of the Zhang Family glanced at Zhang Jiangtao, who nodded imperceptibly.

It was utterly unwise to quarrel with the Territory Control Department outside; the result would still be those two being executed, so he didn't care.

"Will you come with me on your own, or should I incapacitate you to take you away?"

Thunderstorm General placed one foot on a chair, looking coldly at the two of them.

"Territory Control Department..."

Xia Tianming's eyes flickered slightly, his chilling gaze suddenly piercing toward Thunderstorm General like a sharp blade.

This man must have entered the Territory Control Department after he left the Imperial Capital, or he should have recognized him.

Thunderstorm's body started to tremble; he felt as if facing a terrifying abyss, bottomless and awe-inspiring.

"You..."

"As a law enforcer of the Territory Control Department, yet abusing your power like this, you deserve to die."

Xia Tianming said coldly, and in Thunderstorm's terrified and astonished gaze, he slowly snapped his fingers.

"Pata."

The space around Thunderstorm instantly distorted, the violent Power of Space erupted, tearing his body into pieces!

"He, he killed Thunderstorm General!"

"Impossible, what technique did he use to instantly kill Thunderstorm General; he was a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saint!"

"Could it be..."

Xia Tianming's method sent shockwaves through everyone present, including Zhang Jiangtao, as all the guests in the noodle shop stood up, staring at him in shock.

He was a Martial Sovereign.

Aside from this, there was no rational explanation for why Xia Tianming could kill Thunderstorm General with a single strike.

"Report! Report!! This is not something we can handle!!"

The remaining Territory Control Department members outside immediately retreated in panic, grabbing their Communication Talismans, and reported the presence of a mysterious Martial Sovereign in the Imperial Capital, who had killed Thunderstorm General, to their relevant superiors.

Zhang Jiangtao wanted to escape, but when he met Xia Tianming's icy eyes, his legs felt as if they were filled with lead, unable to move.

"Feeling so powerful now? I told you to get more people, and you brought two Celestial Tier Martial Saints; is that enough for anyone?"

Xia Tianming sneered coldly.

"You, you're crazy, this is the Imperial Capital, do you know what you're doing?!"

Zhang Jiangtao swallowed.

"Even if you're a Martial Sovereign, there are many here in the Imperial Capital who can suppress you, why do you have to escalate it to this point?"

He was starting to get scared.

Not scared of the Martial Sovereign-level powerhouse, but Xia Tianming and Xia Feng, who never played by the rules.
