Zhang Hao naturally knew that the Emperor's involvement in this matter was not good for him.
The Zhang Family was originally the head of the three great families in the Watt Nation. In recent years, their strength has been greatly weakened. Zhang Hao absolutely did not believe that the royal Family had no hand in it.
Zhang Hao's father, Zhang Jincheng, was once the Grand Marshal of the Watt Nation, fighting battles for decades. Three years ago, he was stripped of his military power. It can be said that the royal Family of the Watt Nation was painstakingly working to weaken the Zhang Family's influence.
"Zhang Hao, please release Young Master Li Er," Wang Xiao's sharp gaze fell on Zhang Hao.
"If this Young Master releases Young Master Li Er, can Commander Wang guarantee my safety?" Zhang Hao smiled faintly.
"Of course, until you meet His Majesty, no one dares to touch you," Wang Xiao said coldly.
"Alright then."
Zhang Hao released Li Kaiyang. At this moment, going against the royal Family was not rational. He would have plenty of opportunities to deal with the Li Family.
"Hahaha... Zhang Hao, you're dead for sure. The Emperor sent someone to save me!" Li Kaiyang, who was under Zhang Hao, burst into laughter.
"Damn it, if you have the guts, kill me! If you don't kill me, this Young Master will definitely kill you!" Li Kaiyang seemed emboldened by the presence of the Imperial Guards.
"You brought this upon yourself."
At this moment, Li Kaiyang infuriated Zhang Hao.
The Snow Drinking Saber appeared in Zhang Hao's hand, and he slashed out with one strike.
A sharp saber light streaked across Li Kaiyang's neck.
With a 'Puchi!' sound, Li Kaiyang's head was instantly severed.
Li Kaiyang never expected that Zhang Hao would dare to make a move right in front of the Imperial Guards. His eyes were filled with terror.
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for killing Li Kaiyang. Experience +500, True Qi +100, Rage Energy +10."
"Congratulations to Player Zhang Hao for obtaining 20,000 silver."
Zhang Hao shook his head, thinking what a poor guy, so little experience. As expected, killing targets lower level than oneself yields weak experience!
"Kaiyang!"
Li Yuanting watched his son being killed with his own eyes and immediately went berserk.
"Bastard, this old man will kill you today!"
Li Yuanting frantically lunged at Zhang Hao.
"Commander Wang, you said you would protect me."
Zhang Hao felt Li Yuanting's terrifying rage. He pushed his movement technique to the limit, narrowly dodging Li Yuanting's attack, and landed beside Wang Xiao.
"No one can save you today!" Li Yuanting pounced towards Zhang Hao, striking down with a palm.
Wang Xiao's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he met the attack with a single palm.
With a 'Bang!' sound, both Wang Xiao and Li Yuanting retreated several steps, secretly shocked by each other's strength.
"Commander Wang, are you trying to stop me?" Li Yuanting was furious.
"Patriarch Li, please rest assured, he killed your son, and His Majesty will uphold justice for you. However, he must first meet His Majesty. After that, whether you want to kill or torture him, this commander will not interfere," Wang Xiao did not dare to offend Li Yuanting too much.
"Kid, I'll let you enjoy yourself for a while. Soon, this old man will make you taste the most painful feeling in this world," Li Yuanting said hatefully.
"Old man, if you're in such a hurry to go down and see your son, this Young Master doesn't mind sending you on your way," Zhang Hao sneered.
"Absurd!"
Li Yuanting's beard and hair stood on end with anger. As the head of the Li Family, no one had ever dared to be so audacious in front of him.
"Calm down. Anyone who dares to provoke further, don't blame this commander for being impolite," Wang Xiao's dissatisfied gaze fell on the two of them.
"I'll let you live for a few more hours," Li Yuanting suppressed the anger in his heart.
