1429 The Birth of Evil God
"Y-Your Majesty! That arrogant bastard slew the soldiers we sent again! At this rate, we'll lose all of our spare soldiers to him!" The current Supreme General of the Celestial Army reported to the Celestial Emperor.
Frustration clenched the Celestial Emperor's teeth together. If not for the diversion of his main army in the Heavenly War of Immortals and Gods, he could have easily crushed Tian Xian. But alas, his only option was to dispatch his reserve forces, as his enemies could potentially change the tide of their war if he weakened his main army even slightly.
It's been six years since Tian Xian openly defied the Celestial Emperor. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Celestial Emperor had perished to Tian Xian, who was only becoming more formidable with every fight.
'If I don't take care of this little bastard soon, he'll definitely become a real thorn in my side.' The Celestial Emperor wanted to recruit Tian Xian to end the war quicker, but he ended up making Tian Xian an enemy, who now had the potential to prolong the war.
The realization that Tian Xian could be the catalyst for his downfall drove the Celestial Emperor to the brink of madness.
"How dare a mere city lord defy me, the Celestial Emperor?! Supreme General, I don't care what it takes or how much you dirty your hands! I want that bastard to despair! I want him to regret defying me! While you distract him with some soldiers, sneak into the city and remove his loved ones from existence!" The Celestial Emperor roared, his eyes bloodshot.
"As Your Majesty commands!" The Supreme General did not have an ounce of hesitation within his voice despite being given such an order.
The following month, ten thousand soldiers arrived at the City of Xian, looking more ominous than ever.
When Tian Xian saw this, he immediately left the city to confront them as usual. Of course, he left behind some soldiers to guard the city and his beloved wife just in case.
Unfortunately, the Supreme General was an existence that even Tian Xian's strongest soldiers had no hopes of defeating in a group. Thus, the Supreme General sneaked into the City of Xian without alerting anyone, located Tian Xian's living quarters, and silently killed all of the soldiers guarding it, before entering the building.
Inside, a woman sat on the bed, silently caressing her round stomach that looked like it was about to burst at any moment.
"Who's there?!" Xiu Mei was immediately alerted when the formation around the building was suddenly destroyed.
The door to her room was kicked down the next second, and a figure soaked in blood casually walked inside, his weapon still dripping with blood.
"W-who are you?" Xiu Mei could instantly tell at a glance that she was no match for this individual and that she had no hopes of escaping.
"I am your executioner," said the Supreme General in a cold voice.
"Why are you doing this…?" she asked.
"Because your husband offended someone he couldn't afford to offend, and now he will pay the price for defying His Majesty, the Celestial Emperor."
Despite her seemingly helpless situation, Xiu Mei did not let fear control her and even smiled, "I'm surprised it took you so long to come after me."
"Hmph." The Supreme General coldly sneered as he slowly approached her.
