Dragon Blood Saint Emperor
Chapter 28: Life-Taking Sword
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Anx Jun, the crowd finally snapped out of their shock.
Everyone could tell that Ye Wushuang had utterly infuriated Anx Jun.
BOOM!
Anx Jun’s body trembled, and a storm of energy spiraled out from him, sweeping across the firmament.
"Ye Wushuang, you’re not the only one with a Combat Skill! I have one too! Now die! Gale Kill!"
With a furious roar, a murderous Saber Gang flashed from within the terrifying energy storm. It resembled a giant leaf as it slashed toward Ye Wushuang with lightning speed.
"Eight Kills of Battle!"
Ye Wushuang’s expression turned grim. He stepped forward and threw a punch.
His fully mastered Eight Kills of Battle collided with the Saber Gang in mid-air. With a loud BANG, Ye Wushuang was sent flying.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Anx Jun seemed determined to obliterate Ye Wushuang completely, giving him no chance to succeed. He relentlessly launched one Saber Gang after another.
Ye Wushuang flipped several times in mid-air, constantly retreating. The crowd watched with bated breath as sharp Saber Gangs grazed past his body, nearly striking him several times. The sight made Yangg Qing’er even more tense and worried.
Gale Kill was also a Fourth-Grade Combat Skill, the same grade as the Eight Kills of Battle. However, when executed by a Qi Vortex Expert who had mastered True Qi, its power was greatly enhanced. One could only imagine its strength.
Instantly, terrifying Saber Gangs slashed into the ground behind Ye Wushuang, leaving massive cracks in their wake.
It was hard to imagine the severe damage they would inflict if they struck a person.
"Ye Wushuang, weren’t you acting all high and mighty? If you have any guts, stop running!"
Emboldened within the storm, Anx Jun began to gloat, as if determined to return all the humiliation Ye Wushuang had dealt him.
’You think I’m really scared of you?’
Ye Wushuang was getting angry too. He dodged the final Saber Gang and landed on the ground.
"Hahaha, you idiot! Now that you’ve stopped, death is your only path!"
Seeing this, Anx Jun laughed mockingly and strode quickly toward Ye Wushuang. A whistling Saber Gang shone against the firmament, descending upon Ye Wushuang like a giant net.
Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed. He stared at the sky-filling net of saber strikes, but instead of moving, his gaze shifted to Chen Kun and Ba Ziyun at the side.
Ye Wushuang possessed a terrifying trump card: the Evil Moon Thunder Order. It contained a horrifying Spirit Thunder that, once released, could annihilate anything, let alone a piece of trash like Anx Jun at the Qi Vortex First Layer.
If Ye Wushuang were strong enough to fully activate the Spirit Thunder within the Evil Moon Thunder Order, it wouldn’t even be impossible to kill experts above the True Essence realm.
However, it wasn’t worth using the Evil Moon Thunder Order just to kill Anx Jun. He only had one chance to use it and couldn’t do so unless it was his last resort.
Once he used it, he would lose this trump card, and Chen Kun and Ba Ziyun would then be able to kill him easily.
Ye Wushuang knew in his heart that today was a kill-or-be-killed situation. If he couldn’t break through it, death was his only option.
’Looks like I have no choice but to use it!’
Suddenly, Ye Wushuang looked up at the charging Anx Jun, and a sharp, murderous light burst from his eyes!
"Brother Ye, hurry and dodge!"
Seeing Anx Jun’s dense volley of attacks about to land while Ye Wushuang just stood there, Yangg Qing’er shouted anxiously. If those Saber Gangs hit him, he would have no chance of survival.
But Ye Wushuang didn’t dodge. Instead, he closed his eyes.
What was going on?
Why did Ye Wushuang close his eyes?
Had he realized his fate was sealed and given up all resistance?
Seeing Ye Wushuang standing there in a daze, as if scared stiff, the crowd was utterly stunned.
Brother Ye!
Yangg Qing’er yelled again and again, stomping her feet in desperation, but Ye Wushuang still didn’t move.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The whistling sound of the Saber Gangs tearing through the air grew closer. Everyone could feel the sharp killing intent, which was now almost upon Ye Wushuang. It was too late for him to dodge, even if he tried now.
At this moment, even the disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall knew that Ye Wushuang was finished.
"Hahaha, you piece of trash! Weren’t you so capable before? Now you’re scared stiff by my attacks!" Anx Jun sneered viciously. His expression was utterly savage as he relentlessly fired one saber gleam after another, as if he wouldn’t be satisfied until Ye Wushuang was hacked to pieces.
At this moment, a pleased smile finally appeared on Chen Kun’s face. He turned to Ba Ziyun and said with a grin, "This time, Ye Wushuang is finally going to die. And we can pin it all on Anx Jun. With the Law Enforcement Elder as a guarantor, the Sect won’t punish us."
"Let’s hope so."
Ba Ziyun replied flatly before turning his gaze to stare intently at Ye Wushuang.
At the critical moment, Yangg Qing’er leaped into the air, her palm suffused with vast True Qi as she struck at Anx Jun’s attack.
However, against a Fourth-Grade Combat Skill, Yangg Qing’er’s attack was useless. With a BOOM, she was knocked back by several saber gleams.
"Damned woman! Since you want to help him, you can go help him in Hell!"
Anx Jun’s killing intent surged. He shot a cold glance at Yangg Qing’er and charged, bringing the storm with him, as if to annihilate her completely.
"You... dare!"
Suddenly, Ye Wushuang let out a cold shout. Two sharp Sword Lights shot from his eyes, and a murderous intent spread through the air.
A chillingly sharp aura erupted from Ye Wushuang’s body!
"You die!"
Ye Wushuang’s body shot into the air. A blood-red light began to form between his fingers, its sharp killing intent sweeping through everyone’s hearts and chilling them to the soul.
Ba Ziyun’s eyes narrowed. Realizing something, he roared, "Ye Wushuang, you dare!"
With a BOOM, he lunged forward, charging at Ye Wushuang in an attempt to stop him.
"Just watch me!"
"Life-Taking Sword!"
With a low shout, a deadly Sword Intent rippled through the air. Pinching a blood-red Sword Aura between his fingers, Ye Wushuang pierced through the net of saber strikes and shot toward Anx Jun.
SWOOSH!
A red light flashed through the air. The crowd’s eyes followed it, only to see the Sword Aura flash past Anx Jun. Ye Wushuang then landed beside Yangg Qing’er, saving her and taking a few steps back.
The storm subsided. The Saber Gang dissipated into the air. Anx Jun’s body froze in place. On his throat, a thin line of blood slowly spread, and fresh blood began to drip down!
It was over!
Ba Ziyun’s steps came to an abrupt halt. He stood rooted to the spot, utterly devastated.
Anx Jun’s throat had been slit by a single sword strike!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
In an instant, the entire area fell deathly silent, with only the loud whistling of the wind remaining.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Ye Wushuang, as if they still hadn’t processed what happened. Someone at the Body Tempering Eighth Layer had killed a Qi Vortex Expert—and a Qi Vortex Expert who had even used a Combat Skill.
Such a thing was simply unbelievable to them!
"Ye Wushuang, I’ll fucking kill you!"
Breaking the silence, Ba Ziyun was the first to react. His face contorted with rage as he unleashed a torrent of violent True Qi, charging as if his life depended on it.
Back!
Seeing this, Ye Wushuang moved his arm, sending Yangg Qing’er, whom he was holding, flying back several more meters.
Kill!
Only then did Ye Wushuang step forward to meet the attack.
Damn it!
Suddenly, feeling a change in his body, Ye Wushuang’s expression shifted. With a PFFT, he unexpectedly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Ba Ziyun, who was in mid-attack, lost his target and struck nothing but air!
"Brother Ye!"
Seeing this, Yangg Qing’er immediately ran over, only to find that Ye Wushuang had fainted.
"We’re finished! If the Law Enforcement Elder finds out Anx Jun is dead, then..." Chen Kun, at the side, also began to panic. Anx Jun was the Law Enforcement Elder’s grandson, and he had just been killed here.
Once an investigation started, they would also be held responsible—they might even have to pay with their lives!
At this thought, Chen Kun’s cold eyes turned to Ye Wushuang. His killing intent flared as he raised a palm to strike.
"Stop!"
Ba Ziyun’s eyes were heavy as he blocked Chen Kun’s arm.
Chen Kun immediately roared, "Ba Ziyun, what are you doing? Only by killing Ye Wushuang now can we put this matter to rest!"
"Ye Wushuang can’t die now. If we take him back to the Law Enforcement Hall and hand him over to the Law Enforcement Elder for personal execution, you and I might still have a chance to survive."
Ba Ziyun’s expression was incredibly dark. No matter how he thought about it, he could never have imagined that Ye Wushuang, a mere Body Tempering Eighth Layer disciple, could actually kill a Qi Vortex Realm expert who had mastered a Combat Skill.
