The Demonic Crown Prince

"Shut up!" Li Yuan kicked the corpse over and drew his knife.

Wiping the blood from his knife, he slowly raised his head and looked down. "Kneel down, all of you, and I'll spare your lives."

Those people finally realized what was happening. Some retreated nervously, some remained calm, some had their knees buckle, but others had a fierce glint in their eyes.

"You, you dare to commit violence and murder the garrison commander and the vice minister in the military camp?"

A man next to him roared and grabbed a knife from the table.

"Whoosh..." A blade flashed by, like a streak of light.

The man's entire arm remained on the hilt of the knife. He clutched his bleeding arm and screamed as he retreated, but Li Yuan moved like a ghost, taking a single step forward and decapitating him with another slash.

The headless cavity spewed out a fountain of blood three feet deep.

During his seven-year battle on the plateau, he once got separated from his comrades on a winter night and, with only a knife, killed more than a dozen soldiers and safely returned to the camp. He was a true cold-blooded killing god who had been through countless battles!

Especially after the fusion of the two souls, the enhancement of strength, speed, and accuracy is almost terrifying. In his eyes, these so-called Imperial Guard generals are nothing more than piles of meat waiting to be cut!

"I'll say it again, kneel down, or you're dead!"

Li Yuan, his knife tip drooping, covered in blood, looked around.

At this moment, he was like a demon god standing in a pool of blood.

Everyone in the tent was terrified. Even on the battlefield, they had never seen such a terrifying god of death!

You should know that Wu Ying was a notorious troublemaker in the Imperial Guards, with exceptional martial arts skills, the kind that a dozen men couldn't defeat.

But Li Yuan easily killed him with a single slash?

Moreover, he also took the opportunity to kill Wang Zhe, the Vice Minister of War.

Xiao Guizi slumped down in front of the tent, his crotch filled with a foul stench; he had truly wet himself in fear.

With a "thump," some people, unable to withstand this terrifying power, knelt down directly.

With one person taking the lead, almost everyone else knelt down as well.

But there was one person who still stood there, looking at Li Yuan, his neck stiff, refusing to kneel.

"You want to die?" Li Yuan slowly turned his head and looked at that person.

He was a young general, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a dark complexion and a robust physique. He looked like a junior officer who had been training and being tempered in the military for many years.

"Your Highness, I don't want to die, but I also don't want to kneel like this."

The man shook his head, panting heavily.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan raised an eyebrow at him, slightly surprised.

"Because I did nothing wrong. They forced me to come here and fight against the prince with them."

But from beginning to end, I never agreed, I didn't even drink any alcohol, and I certainly didn't cause any trouble or resistance.

If I kneel now, it will prove I'm wrong, so I can't kneel!

That person said.

"Interesting. What's your name?" Li Yuan asked with a smile, leaning on his sword.

"My name is Wang Wanquan, and I am a commander of the Thirteenth Garrison."

Wang Wanquan cupped his hands in greeting.

"Don't those three deserve to die?"

Li Yuan pointed to the several corpses on the ground.

Wang Wanquan nodded emphatically, "Yes, they all deserve to die."

"And what about them?" Li Yuan pointed to the other dozen or so people.

"Do they... does the prince want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Wang Wanquan hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Of course it's the truth," Li Yuan nodded.

"Most of them deserve to die, but Zhang Chuang and Xu Lei were also coerced. Although they were coerced, their crimes did not warrant death."

Wang Wanquan pointed to two of them and said.

"Oh, you two, get up!"

Li Yuan nodded to the two people.

The two men felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly stood up, looking at Wang Wanquan with eyes full of gratitude.

"Where are the others?" Li Yuan asked Wang Wanquan again.

"They are all Wu Ying's cronies, eating soldiers' flesh and drinking soldiers' blood, and beating and scolding soldiers at will. They are the same kind of people as Wu Ying!"

I also overheard them talking privately, saying they were ordered by their superiors to stage a play with Vice Minister Wang to oust you. They're all a bunch of cowardly, sycophantic people!

Wang Wanquan's eyes were full of disgust as he pointed at those people and said disdainfully.

"Well said!" Li Yuan nodded, then looked at the group. "In that case, the three of you can do me a favor."

"I wouldn't dare accept such help, Your Highness, please give your orders."

"Help me kill them all," Li Yuan said casually.

"Huh?" Wang Wanquan and his two companions were taken aback, and everyone around them was also dumbfounded!

"Don't dare?" Li Yuan glanced at Wang Wanquan.

"Damn it, what wouldn't I dare to do?"

One of Lao Tzu's scouts was hacked to death for disobeying orders to abduct and harm the girls of ordinary people. His head was even cut off and presented to the authorities as a reward for his services as a bandit.

That's ten lives!

"Those damned bastards!"

Wang Wanquan roared in grief and anger, and with a clang, his long sword was drawn.

"Where are you two?" Li Yuan asked, looking at Zhang Chuang and Xu Lei.

"We, we..."

Zhang Chuang and Xu Lei swallowed hard, their hands gripping the knife handles loosening and tightening repeatedly, clearly engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Li Yuan wasn't far away either; he simply stood in front of the tent entrance, leisurely watching the two men.

The others had a look of despair mixed with ferocity in their eyes.

Suddenly, someone lunged at Li Yuan, brandishing a knife and roaring, "Damn it, since we're going to die anyway, we might as well fight him to the death!"

But as soon as he jumped up, Wang Wanquan slashed his neck with a knife, and half of his neck drooped down.

But many more people jumped up and fought back desperately.

"Well done!" Li Yuan laughed wildly, moving like a dragon and his blade transforming into a streak of light as he charged into the crowd.

"Damn it, now that Heng Jian is dead, I'll follow the King of Qin and kill all these bastards, avenging all these years of grudges!"

Seeing that Wang Wanquan had started fighting, Zhang Chuang and Xu Lei's eyes turned bloodshot. With a roar, they went all out and drew their swords to slash.

In an instant, blood spurted and screams echoed throughout the tent.

However, the soldiers outside had no idea what was happening inside, and no one dared to enter rashly. But clearly, someone saw blood flowing out like a stream through the gaps in the tent flap.

The killing came and went quickly, ending in just a dozen or so breaths.

Zhang Chuang and Xu Lei each killed one person, Wang Wanquan killed two people, and the rest were all killed by Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's formidable martial prowess completely subdued the three men in this real-world battle!

"Congratulations on abandoning darkness for light."

Li Yuan threw down his nicked and chipped knife and smiled at the three of them.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

Wang Wanquan, panting heavily, looked at Li Yuan along with Zhang Chuang and Xu Lei.

"Wang Zhe, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, accompanied me to the military camp to take over the troops, but Wu Ying and his gang not only refused to cooperate but also tried to kill me."

You broke with them to protect me and killed them all.

In the chaos of battle, Vice Minister Wang was stabbed to death by Wu Ying.

Got it?

Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"Got it!" The three of them nodded in unison.

Life and death are at stake; no one dares to be ambiguous.

Moreover, they've all killed people, so they're now in cahoots with Li Yuan!

As for Xiao Guizi, who was cowering in the corner terrified, Li Yuan had no need to worry about her.

Although timid, he is loyal, and most importantly, Xiao Guizi will not die if he follows his instructions!

"Now, Wang Wanquan is the garrison commander, and the other two are deputy garrison commanders."

"Wang Wanquan, what should we do next?"

Li Yuanwang asked Wang Wanquan.

This person is intelligent and calm, and is indeed useful, but he also has his own plans to test him.
