Between heaven and earth, silence reigned.
Ye Wushuang stood atop the city wall, holding a long sword, his blood-stained white robes fluttering in the wind, unmatched in the world!
He gently extended his right palm toward the deep pit, and instantly, a tremendous suction pulled the Guardian’s corpse out.
Bang!
The Guardian’s body crashed onto the ground, split by a sword, eyes wide in death, blood flowing, staining the snow-covered ground.
A shocking sight.
It was a profoundly stunning scene.
The onlookers stood like statues, as if their heartbeats had stopped.
Ye Wushuang, at the Venerable Realm, unleashed peerless combat strength, using his self-created sword technique to kill the King Realm Guardian across realms. This battle would be etched in history!
“As expected of the God of Slaughter, no matter the odds, he can turn defeat into victory, a true miracle.”
“His self-created sword technique is terrifying, especially that final strike, it seemed to cleave the heavens…”
Dragon Maiden and the War God whispered.
They looked at Ye Wushuang, their eyes filled with excitement.
“Amitabha, Benefactor Ye is a peerless talent. It’s a pity my master cannot witness his glory,” Master Du’e said softly, hands clasped.
Ye Wuwei looked up at the figure on the wall, and at that moment, tears welled in the eyes of China’s richest man.
Joy, excitement, admiration…
All sorts of emotions surged within him.
“I knew it. As long as you’re here, the Ye family won’t fall. Big Brother, thank you.”
Ye Wuwei said silently.
“Father is too powerful!”
Ye Qiu was thrilled inside but kept his emotions in check, his face showing no trace of it.
Though blind, Longbrow真人 had sharp ears, able to gauge the battle’s outcome from the crowd’s reactions.
“Little rascal, remember? Long ago, I read your fortune.”
“I foresaw a life-and-death calamity, but the signs showed a sliver of hope from the West, a noble person coming to aid you.”
“Now it seems, that noble person is your father.”
Longbrow真人 muttered, “Little rascal, I risked my life for you. You’d better help me rebuild Dragon Tiger Mountain.”
“Deal,” Ye Qiu agreed readily.
That easy?
Longbrow真人 added, “You’ll treat me to a meal too.”
“Sure.”
“I want sixty-year-old wine.”
“No problem.”
Seeing Ye Qiu agree to everything, Longbrow真人 said, “Can you find me a couple…”
“No way.” Ye Qiu, knowing the old man’s schemes, refused outright.
“Hmph, no loyalty.”
Longbrow真人 snorted.
Elder Tang, looking at Ye Wushuang and the Guardian’s corpse, was deeply shaken.
“Ye Wushuang actually won.”
“From now on, no one in China can rival the Ye family.”
With this thought, Elder Tang said to Ye Family Elder, “Old Ye, when the Guardian was alive, he ensured national peace, deterring hidden masters from neighbouring countries.”
“Now that he’s dead, if those countries hear of it, they may not stay quiet.”
“I’m worried…”
Ye Family Elder understood and said, “Elder Tang, rest assured, the Ye family will always protect the nation.”
“If the country faces trouble, we won’t stand by.”
“Though the Guardian is dead, Wushuang remains. He’ll follow your orders.”
Elder Tang felt reassured, then smiled, “Old Ye, since Wushuang’s back, why not arrange Ye Qiu and Tangtang’s matter soon? What do you think?”
Ye Family Elder replied, “Elder Tang, though Ye Qiu is my grandson, he’s grown. His lifelong happiness depends on his own wishes.”
“If he agrees, all is well.”
“If he doesn’t, I can’t force him.”
Elder Tang was a bit disappointed, saying, “Then please ask Ye Qiu’s opinion later.”
“Alright,” Ye Family Elder nodded.
Elsewhere.
The noble families rose from the ground, looking at the Guardian’s corpse, chills running through them.
“The Guardian is dead. No one can stop Ye Wushuang now.”
“Next, he’ll settle scores with us, won’t he?”
“What do we do? I don’t want to die, sob…”
The scene was filled with despair.
They sensed death creeping closer.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a terrifying wave surged between heaven and earth, like a fearsome beast awakening, filling everyone with dread.
“What’s happening?” Ye Wudi gripped his Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, tense.
Dragon Maiden said, “Could there be another master in the Forbidden City?”
Ye Family Elder’s face grew grave, “Besides the Guardian, the Forbidden City has a City Protector, Dragon One’s grandfather by seniority. Could it be him?”
The War God said grimly, “Wushuang is heavily injured. If another Guardian-level master appears, it’ll be bad for him.”
Elder Tang spoke, “Years ago, I met the City Protector with the Guardian. From their tone and demeanor, I could tell the Protector’s realm surpassed the Guardian’s.”
What?
The crowd was shocked.
Worry clouded their faces.
“If it’s the City Protector, Wushuang is in danger.”
“Indeed, Wushuang exhausted much to kill the Guardian. Facing a stronger master, he may not hold up.”
“Not just Wushuang, we’re all doomed. The Forbidden City is down to the City Protector alone.”
Seeing their concern, Ye Family Elder said calmly, “No need to fear at this point.”
“We came here tonight not expecting to leave alive.”
“Without Wushuang’s timely arrival, we’d already be in the underworld.”
“Now, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.”
Ye Wuwei nodded, “Father’s right. It’s just death, nothing to fear.”
The noble families also felt the terrifying aura, but oddly, they showed no fear, instead brimming with excitement.
Some even teared up with joy.
“This aura is too terrifying, it must be a peerless master.”
“Who’d have thought the Forbidden City had such depth, another master!”
“Great, we’re saved.”
“Ye Wushuang, you didn’t expect this, did you? Kill the Guardian, and you’ll die too…”
