Chapter 54: Chapter 54 - Stone Binding
BANG!
After the impact of Song Yang's punch, Nangong Ye was forced to retreat dozens of steps.
The scene left the city's inhabitants stunned, seeing the governor, who possessed the cultivation of a Saint, being forced to retreat by Song Yang's punch.
"Am I really seeing this? His Highness actually made the governor retreat several steps with a punch?"
"Impossible! The governor is a powerful Saint. Even if His Highness hid his cultivation, it's impossible to force him to retreat dozens of steps."
"Unless His Highness has reached the Saint Realm…"
"But that's impossible. A Saint under twenty years old? Not even in the central region are there monsters of that level."
After being forced to retreat, Nangong Ye looked at Song Yang with deep shock.
He had really been pushed back by a child who hadn't even reached fifty years old.
Even though this was the result of a sneak attack, the impact is still the same; this is a disgrace for a dignified Saint like him!
At the same time, his expression became solemn. To force him to retreat, even a half-step Saint wouldn't be enough; this could only mean one thing: Song Yang had broken through and become a Saint.
After all, below a Saint, everyone is an ant!
'This is completely impossible. How could there be such a young Saint in the world?' Nangong Ye thought this was pure fantasy.
Don't blame Nangong Ye for not believing it; after all, even the cultivation of the Holy Son of the Two Sacred Lands is only at the Divine Transformation Realm, and he is probably older than Song Yang.
'But if this is true… it means that the force backing the Eighth Prince is terrifying to the extreme.'
But his thoughts were interrupted when Song Yang appeared in front of him and threw another punch.
Although it seemed casual, Nangong Ye felt extreme terror and realized he couldn't dodge!
BANG!
BANG!
After taking another punch and being forced to retreat dozens of steps again, Nangong Ye finally confirmed that Song Yang's cultivation had indeed reached the Saint Realm!
But more importantly, he now realized that Song Yang truly intended to kill him!
Thinking this, Nangong Ye couldn't help but roar at Song Yang: "Do you really dare to try to kill me? I was appointed by the Emperor himself!"
Hearing Nangong Ye's roar, Song Yang stopped in midair and spoke calmly: "You said yourself that you wanted to atone for your crime with death."
Murong Qing'er, who was on top of the Wind Shadow Eagle, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh lightly upon hearing Song Yang's response.
Actually, if Song Yang had wanted to, he could have easily killed Nangong Ye with the first punch, but he didn't use all of his strength.
After all, aside from a mere 1-star Saint like Nangong Ye, even Chu Yifan, with cultivation at the peak of the Saint Realm before using the pill, would be easily defeated by Song Yang!
The reason he didn't kill Nangong Ye immediately was that he wanted to wait for Nangong Ye to use all of his strength, and then kill him in an overwhelming manner.
This way, no one would doubt that he used some secret method to kill Nangong Ye in a sneaky way.
This plan could benefit him in two ways. The first is that once the world discovers that there is a 24-year-old Saint, he will certainly gain many reputation points.
The second, and main one, is the impact that the discovery would have on other dynasties.
Upon realizing that the Zhenfang Dynasty possesses a prince of this age with the cultivation of a Saint, the other dynasties would certainly see Song Yang as a huge threat to the balance of the five dynasties.
After all, he became a Saint at the age of twenty-four; imagine what will happen hundreds of years from now when he has grown! He will certainly be a threat to the other four dynasties.
This is the first step of Song Yang's plan to start chaos in the eastern region!
"You..."
Nangong Ye was left speechless upon hearing what Song Yang said...
He had said that as a way of demonstrating his submission to Song Yang, because he was sure that Song Yang wouldn't really dare to kill him. After all, he was appointed governor of the province by His Majesty.
At most, Song Yang would only punish him to vent his anger, and he would become his subordinate.
But who would have thought that Song Yang wouldn't play by the rules and would actually try to kill him?
Seeing that Song Yang was about to throw another punch, Nangong Ye finally became enraged.
Although he wasn't injured after each punch from Song Yang, it was still extremely humiliating!
"Your Highness, you are abusing your authority by trying to kill a provincial governor who was appointed by the Emperor himself."
"I will capture you and take you to His Majesty so that he can judge you!"
According to the dynasty's laws, no prince can execute an official appointed by the Emperor himself without first obtaining his authorization.
Upon hearing Nangong Ye's roar, Song Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Nangong Ye, you really are unpredictable and have an answer for everything."
"But capture me... just you?"
"Humph." Coldly snorting upon seeing Song Yang's disdain, Nangong Ye then exhaled the Sacred Law of the Earth and said, "Your Highness, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as Nangong Ye finished speaking, a deep sound followed by a slight tremor made all the people watching the battle below exclaim.
"What's that? Why is the whole city shaking?"
"Look, there are chains coming out of the ground!"
"Is that the governor's power? I'm afraid the Eighth Prince is in trouble now..."
"Yes, I don't know why the Eighth Prince wants to blame Governor Ye. After all, wasn't the last assassination attempt just a ruse?"
They watched as countless rock chains began to emerge from the ground towards the sky, producing a deep and resonant sound.
The chains that were rising started to intertwine, forming a circle that slowly enclosed Song Yang.
This is a low-grade sacred technique used by Nangong Ye: Stone Binding.
