Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Chapter 2450  In For A Show, Crown Prince's Rebellion, Infuriated Slaughter Kingdom's King

After the banquet in Slaughter Kingdom ended, Liu Tianxue brought Chu Kuangren to his room.

The other princes and princesses went back as well.

Soon, only the Crown Prince and the King were left alone in the hall.

No one knew what they talked about.

However, that night, an extremely powerful aura erupted from the palace but only for a moment.

Then, someone saw the Crown Prince leave the hall with a grim look.

Back in the hall, the Slaughter King sat on his throne, his aura dwindling.

He scoffed. "They can't hold it in anymore, but that's good. If they're too patient, I'm the one who has to go through a lot of trouble. It's almost time. Chu Kuangren's appearance may be unexpected, but he won't be much of a problem. "Once I recover, I will take the God of Slaughter's Ring from him and then send my troops to annex his kingdom. Then, the Slaughter Kingdom will thrive further," the Slaughter King murmured, and his cloudy eyes gleamed. On the other hand, Liu Tianxue was alone with Chu Kuangren.

Knowing that her father had the intention to marry her to the man before her eyes, she blushed but only for a second. She said, "I'll get someone over to serve you. Please excuse me."

"Hold on."

"Is there anything else, Monarch Chu?" Liu Tianxue asked.

"What do you think about what your father said earlier?"

Liu Tianxue was slightly stunned.

"Are you referring to the marriage?" she asked. "No. Your father said he wanted to give you the throne. Do you really think he will do that?" Chu Kuangren asked.

Liu Tianxue's expression shifted when she heard Chu Kuangren.

"Monarch Chu, what are you trying to say?"

"You should know your father better than me. Do you think your father would say something like that in front of an audience?"

Liu Tianxue pondered and realized it was highly unlikely.

Even though the King had been acting unusually in recent years due to his aging problem, he would not announce his decision to give the throne to someone else or his daughter's marriage.

It was unbelievable.

Even though Liu Tianxue wanted the throne, she found what happened earlier strange.

"Monarch Chu, you can just speak your mind."

"Believe me when I say your brothers will start a rebellion soon and then be apprehended for treason by your father." "Monarch Chu, mind your words."

"Don't you think so?"

Liu Tianxue went silent because she suddenly realized her eldest brother had control over more than half of the soldiers of the kingdom and her third brother was the commander of the palace's Forbidden Guards, both of whom she was close with.

What the King said earlier must have triggered her eldest brother, who was hellbent on getting the throne, so it was not surprising that he would go to extreme lengths to achieve his goal.

"We're in for a show." Chu Kuangren smiled.

…

"That old fool!"

The Crown Prince remained infuriated after he went back to his place. "I can't believe he wanted to give Liu Tianxue the throne. That girl is talented, but she's not as talented as me! "In terms of cultivation, she's just a Second Step Monarch, while I'm almost an Ultimate Monarch. In terms of influence, more than half of the court officials are my people. In terms of war credits, I expanded our kingdom to more than half of the secret realm, and no one can beat me!

"What does she have that I don't? "How could that old fool give her the throne?"

Beside him, the Third Prince narrowed his eyes and said, "Since things have come down to this, I don't think we have the time to hesitate anymore, Brother."

"You're saying…"

"It's time we remove him!"

"That's treason!" the Crown Prince bellowed.

"Brother! It is for the kingdom's sake! You're the chosen king of the kingdom! Are you going to sit back and watch Liu Tianxue get the throne? Father is old and isn't thinking straight. We cannot be a fool like him!"

The Third Prince knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Brother, for the sake of our people and kingdom, you have to ascend to the throne no matter what!"

The Crown Prince pondered for a while with his eyes closed. He frowned but then he took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case… Fine! We remove him!"

Soon, the entire kingdom grew restless.

The other princes and princesses gathered under the Crown Prince's summon.

"Brothers and sisters, Father has entered Heavenly Deterioration Five Stage for too long and isn't fit to rule anymore. For the kingdom, I have decided to usurp his throne! Brothers and sisters, for the sake of the people and our kingdom, I need your support," he said.

The other princes and princesses exchanged glances.

Some of them had thoughts about the throne as well, but the Crown Prince was the strongest.

If he had decided to usurp the throne, they would not be able to walk out the door if they disagreed.

"I stand by your side, Brother."

"Yeah! Why Liu Tianxue? She's not worthy of the throne! Other than our brother, no one else is fit to be the next king!"

"I agree, too."

After getting his brothers' and sisters' answers, the Crown Prince started the rebellion.

The Third Prince mobilized the palace's Forbidden Guards, and the Crown Prince mobilized his army outside the palace to march in.

The other guards in the palace were no match for them.

After a fierce fight, the palace's guards lost to the Forbidden Guards.

High above the palace, two figures looked down at the rebels taking over the place.

Liu Tianxue was silenced by the reality that her eldest brother had rebelled. "I have to go save Father."

"He doesn't need you to save him."

Chu Kuangren scoffed. "None of the Forbidden Guards, the capital's guards, and more than half of the soldiers under your eldest brother's command have the courage to rebel against your father's regime. Your father is afraid that your eldest brother doesn't have the nerves, so he gave him a reason."

All rulers of kingdoms should be wary of concentrating too much authority in the hands of a single individual, be it a general, prince, or any other figure.

However, in Slaughter Kingdom, the King acted as if he did not know about it. He gave the Crown Prince command over the soldiers and made the Third Prince the commander of the Forbidden Guards.

The Crown Prince finally brought his soldiers to the court, where the King was.

"Father, I'm here to ask you for the throne."

"Ask? You're asking?" The King glanced at him and scoffed, "You led the troops into my palace and marched into my court, yet you're 'asking' me to give you the throne?"

"Father, there's no need for argument now. Just step down."

"What makes you believe you will succeed?"

"Father, there is no need for bluffs. I have command of the soldiers, and more than half of the court officials are my men. You're at the last stage of Heavenly Deterioration. Your cultivation base is weakening, and your body can't last any longer. How are you my match? Father, step down on your own will, and you can still leave with dignity."

"In that case, I will have to thank you for that."

Immediately after, red runes started to appear behind the King and formed a boundary around him, boosting his aura.

In just the blink of an eye, his powers skyrocketed.

"Come here!"

The King bolted up and grabbed one of the princes.

The moment he seized the prince by the neck, the prince's flesh, blood, and Slaughter Core were sucked away.

Then, the Crown Prince disintegrated into ashes.

The sudden twist of events shocked everyone.

"I have fed you and raised you for so long. Now, it's time for me to harvest what I sow!" the King scoffed.
