The Human Emperor

Ishbara Khagan’s eyes twitched, and as he spoke, he unconsciously backed away. His tone had also become extremely meek, so meek that even Irbis Shiyun couldn’t help but glance at his father in surprise.

In his mind, his father had always been a domineering figure whose word was law, and this impression had carved itself even more deeply into his mind after he saw the true face of his father not so long ago.

He had never seen his father so meek and timid.

And back in the tent, his father had clearly made it known that he wanted to join the alliance against the Great Tang. But now that the man he wanted to deal with had appeared, his father…

Irbis Shiyun could not continue thinking about it. He only felt an unbearable sadness.

“Heh, Ishbara, at this stage, there’s no need to keep acting in front of this king.”

Wang Chong smiled as he continued to walk down from the air.

He was in no rush to make his move. Everything was under his control.

He had come personally, which meant that the moment he appeared, all of the Western Turks were under his control. Nothing would be able to go beyond his expectations.

No matter what Ishbara Khagan was scheming, it would be to no avail.

“This king gave you a chance. Because of Barshad, this king did not strike immediately. Alas, in the end, you still made the incorrect choice!”

Wang Chong coldly chuckled and glanced at Ishbara Khagan. Suddenly, his body disappeared.

“Not good!”

He had been trying to use words to hold down Wang Chong to buy as much time for Supreme Divine and Meteor Divine as he could, but Wang Chong was unpredictable. Though he wore an unhurried smile, he struck without hesitation.

With no time to think, Ishbara Khagan unleashed the Stellar Energy in his dantian and tried to flee as quickly as he could. At the same time, he threw out a palm behind him. Destructive energy howled out like ten thousand wolves while a sandstorm swept over the world.

To deal with all of this, Wang Chong only needed a simple attack.

“It’s useless!”

Wang Chong’s cold voice rang out, and Ishbara Khagan could only get a few hundred feet before the sky suddenly darkened and a greenish-black energy descended from the sky like a massive net.

Kaboom! Ishbara Khagan miserably screamed as he was slapped out of the sky by that energy, crashing through the snow and into the ground.

The force of the impact was so great that Mount Sanmi trembled several times.

A panicked voice came from the distance. “King of Foreign Lands, spare my father’s life!”

This cry at the final moment saved Ishbara Khagan’s life.

Wang Chong had been planning to shatter Ishbara Khagan’s heart and end his life, but at the final moment, he withdrew his energy.

“Wang Chong, you dare!” Irbis Shiyun furiously roared, his eyes red.

“Wunu Shibi, kill him!”

Irbis Shiyun’s voice rang out, his body brimming with rage.

Buzz!

A cold pair of eyes instantly locked onto Irbis Shiyun and Wunu Shibi. Wunu Shibi’s hand had been going for his weapon, but when he felt Wang Chong’s gaze, he was overcome by fear, all of his resolve vanishing.

“King of Foreign Lands, I am willing to surrender!”

Wunu Shibi’s face went pale as he raised up the saber in his hand.

“Great General, you…!”

Irbis Shiyun froze, his body going cold.

In his mind, the Solar Great General had always been a staunch member of the anti-Tang faction, and he had even been influenced by this attitude to become extremely anti-Tang and execute this operation.

Never had he imagined that when he was still persisting, Wunu Shibi would be the first to surrender, not even showing a hint of hesitation.

“Your Highness, the situation is stronger than the man. Our moment has passed. We cannot oppose Wang Chong!” Wunu Shibi awkwardly explained to Irbis Shiyun.

But though he was embarrassed, his reaction remained swift.

“Everyone, listen up! Put down your weapons!

“King of Foreign Lands, this one did not know that you would be gracing us with your presence. If this one knew that Your Highness would be paying a visit to the Western Turks, this conflict today would never have happened!” Wunu Shibi sincerely said. As he spoke, he threw his saber to the side.

Wang Chong was simply too powerful!

Ishbara Khagan was far stronger than Wunu Shibi, but Wang Chong had easily suppressed him, not even giving him a chance to resist. Even if he put up a desperate struggle, he would not be able to escape Wang Chong’s palm.

Death was all that awaited him!

Most importantly, Wunu Shibi was truly afraid.

He had only encouraged the First Prince to act because he had learned that Wang Chong had appeared in the frontline base in the northeast. Who could have expected that he could cross such a vast distance to appear in the Western Turkic Khaganate?

Unpredictable movements and unfathomable plans! This man truly instilled fear in the hearts of his enemies!

Wunu Shibi had lost all resolve to fight.

Behind him, his generals didn’t dare to believe their ears.

“Put them down!” Wunu Shibi repeated.

With a great clattering, the Western Turkic generals around the First Prince and Wunu Shibi threw down their weapons and gave up on resistance.

“Hmph, interesting!”

Wang Chong coldly watched on and grinned.

He had to admit that Wunu Shibi’s actions were truly surprising. He had even been ready to attack.

“Wunu Shibi, you’ve truly made me take a second look at you! However, your domineering strength still presents a threat to both the Great Tang and the Western Turks.”

Wang Chong faintly smiled, and as he smiled, he struck.

Bang!

Before Wunu Shibi could react, boundless Stellar Energy erupted from the earth, knocking away dirt and snow, and penetrated into his body.

This peak Subtle realm energy, half a step away from the Grotto Heaven realm, broke through Wunu Shibi’s defenses and into his dantian, transforming into a sealing ring that locked away all his Stellar Energy!

“Youuuu!”

Shocked and angered, Wunu Shibi tried to jump away, instinctively tried to resist, but he was too late.

Boom! A few seconds later, Wunu Shibi’s energy plunged from the Great General level all the way to the level of an ordinary person.

Wunu Shibi’s body went limp, and he dropped to the ground as if all the energy had been drained out of him.

His face went as white as a sheet of paper.

His energy being sealed was like a bird being deprived of its wings, a tiger shorn of its claws. He no longer presented any threat.

Wang Chong did not have so many concerns on his mind.

Swoosh!

He made a grabbing motion with his hand, upon which Wunu Shibi flew through the air and landed at his feet.

“A wise man knows when to submit to fate. However, only the present you can allow one to truly relax.”

Wang Chong looked down at Wunu Shibi and smiled.

As Wang Chong spoke to the pale-faced Wunu Shibi, Ishbara Khagan’s weak voice came from nearby. “You madman, you won’t succeed! Even if you kill me, the Western Turks will never obey you! The Tang will never reign over the Turks!”

He clambered out of the snow, blood trickling from his lips, and he appeared extremely weak. Unlike Wunu Shibi, his dantian had been shattered by Wang Chong, destroying his cultivation.

The current Ishbara Khagan was crippled!

Wang Chong stared straight ahead and calmly said, “There’s no need for you to worry about it. If the Western Turks won’t cooperate, I can just kill them all!”

This calm tone frightened Ishbara Khagan and all the Western Turkic generals, sending a chill running through their hearts.

Kill all the Western Turks?

What sort of madman could say such things?!

If it had been someone else, they truly would have treated these words as the ravings of a madman, not worth trusting, but Wang Chong…

When they thought about how millions of people had died at Wang Chong’s hands, they couldn’t bring themselves to laugh.

It was not for no reason that Wang Chong was feared by all the other countries and known as the ‘Butcher’.

“Of course, if the Western Turks are willing to cooperate and are open and sincere, not trying any tricks in secret, if Khagan is willing to abdicate all authority to Fourth Prince Barshad, then that will be another matter entirely!”

Wang Chong suddenly changed his tone, softly chuckling.

Ishbara Khagan, Wunu Shibi, and the Western Turkic generals shivered.

Fourth Prince Barshad spoke at this time, his head lowered and his tone firm. “Your Highness, be at ease. Although the Western Turks are beyond your civilized borders, we are still trustworthy. From now, the Western Turks will be the Great Tang’s firmest ally!”

No one amongst the Western Turks understood Wang Chong more than him. He had joined the Great Tang and opposed Irbis Shiyun and Ishbara Khagan precisely because of Wang Chong.

In his view, opposing the Great Tang only meant death.

“Barshad, this king trusts that you will keep your promise.”

Wang Chong smiled.

“In addition, I leave Irbis Shiyun to you. With your abilities, I trust that you can handle him properly?”

“Your Highness, be at ease. Barshad knows what should be done.”

Barshad respectfully bowed.
