Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 446: Why Use a Sword to Kill You?

"You think these little bugs are going to take my life? You're dreaming like a fool!"

Xiao Yi's gaze pierced through the layers of God Devouring Ants and landed on Lin Xu, who stood behind the golden swarm, and with a cold laugh, he said, "Lin Xu, I will behead you and give justice to those innocent people who died in vain!"

"Hahaha, you can't even protect yourself, yet you still think about avenging those lowly people? You really are an idiot. What are those lowly people worth? It's their honor to become food for the queen ant, to become my aid in conquering the Great Qian Dynasty. For them to die at my hands is a fortune they've cultivated over eight lifetimes, and you still think about avenging them?"

Lin Xu shook his head mockingly.

In his eyes...

The sacrificed people on the ice plains were nothing more than ants, easily crushed with a flick of the hand.

Even.

The fact that these people were chosen by him, Lin Xu, to become sacrifices to create the God Devouring Ant army and to destroy the Great Qian Dynasty was their honor.

"Bullshit..."

Xiao Yi's eyes turned blood red, and he felt a surge of frustration so intense it made it hard for him to breathe.

Lin Xu's arrogance and indifference deeply wounded his heart.

What does it mean to be an ant?

What does it mean to feel honored in death?

In his mind emerged the scenes he had witnessed in Northern Bing City, where many of the corpses were children—some even pregnant women whose bellies were torn open by the God Devouring Ants, their babies half-eaten.

That pregnant woman, even in death, even though half her head and body had been consumed, still maintained a protective pose over her unborn child.

And those pitiful elders.

Those innocent children.

Young people full of life and vitality...

What were their crimes?

But Lin Xu, for his own selfish desires, used them as sacrifices, as food to cultivate his God Devouring Ant army. And not only did Lin Xu not feel the slightest bit of guilt, he was actually proud and aloof.

Xiao Yi's eyes turned even redder.

He had gone mad!

Xiao Yi's facial features were completely distorted with ferocity like a god of slaughter, his veins bulging as he let out a heaven-shaking roar, "The one who should die is you..."

Boom!

Rumble!

Vital energy within him ran wild, creating thunderous booms like rolling thunder as if an Azure Dragon within his body was roaring skyward.

Whoosh!

A glint of cold light burst out from between his brows.

His longsword vibrated intensely in an instant, a golden light clinging to the blade.

The Sword Intent unleashed by Xiao Yi was climbing continuously.

"What is a sword?"

"Indomitable is the sword!"

"A sword that slays gods and beheads immortals is the sword!"

"Everything under heaven can be a sword..."

Xiao Yi's pupils shrank violently, his speed becoming faster and faster.

The Sword Skill also became more proficient and powerful.

Azure Lotus Sword Chant!

Subduing Tiger Sword Skill!

Life-Seizing Scholar Sword!

Xiao Yi used all the Sword Skills he had mastered throughout his life, one after another, with increasing speed and sharpness of the sword's edge.

Under the pressing threat of imminent death.

Xiao Yi had entered a state of sudden enlightenment!

Right now...

Xiao Yi's consciousness was gradually blurring; as he continued to execute sword moves, he had forgotten the techniques, everything became instinct.

Draw the sword!

Strike with the sword!

Stab!

Thrust!

Slash!

Kill...

All were acts of instinct!

What was once an encirclement of only five zhang was steadily expanding.

Six zhang.

Seven zhang...

Gradually it returned to ten zhang!

Within ten zhang, no creature could approach; even those God Devouring Ants with incredibly hard shells and fearsome defenses couldn't come close. As soon as they entered the ten zhang range, they were cut in half by the sharp Sword Qi.

Consigned to oblivion!

"What, what exactly is happening?"

Lin Xu's face changed drastically.

He watched as Xiao Yi, who looked like he was about to be exhausted and unable to hold off the onslaught of the God Devouring Ants, suddenly increased the power of his sword moves, slaughtering the ant swarm like an Asura Demon God. The terrifying Sword Skill was fearsome to behold.

Lin Xu's face twisted with ferocity as he stared at the golden queen ant behind him, his teeth clenched, he said, "What are you good for? Why haven't you killed him yet?"

Roar!

The queen ant's six cold eyes stared at Lin Xu with a hint of sinister viciousness, but the enraged Lin Xu didn't notice this unusual gaze. He continued bellowing, "Kill him for me!"

The queen ant's six eyes simultaneously shot out blinding cold light.

The golden wings at her back buzzed, emitting a series of ear-piercing noises.

Rustle, rustle!

Under the control of the Ant Queen, the God Devouring Ants' eyes turned red, and they became increasingly frenzied and bloodthirsty. Like a black iron torrent, they surged toward Xiao Yi in waves, collapsing and reducing the encirclement to fifteen feet.

Lin Xu clenched his fists so tightly that he bit his teeth until they bled. "Bite him to death, bite him alive for me..."

Twelve feet.

Nine feet.

Six feet...

The putrid breath of the God Devouring Ants was already suffocatingly close, yet Xiao Yi still kept his eyes tightly closed. His sword, now engaging in close combat with the ants, had begun to show cracks.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a God Devouring Ant appeared right in front of Xiao Yi, at a distance no more than a finger's breadth away.

Thud!

The longsword stood right in the path of the ant's sharp fangs.

With a crisp crackling sound,

the longsword shattered explosively, and the broken blade swept past the ant's abdomen, slicing it in two, and flew by Xiao Yi's sides.

Lin Xu nearly jumped in excitement as he watched this scene, his face filled with ecstatic glee. "Hahaha, Xiao Yi, you've lost your sword. How will you fight me now? Today, this will be the place where you're buried, as I said..."

"Sword?"

A voice full of playfulness and scorn suddenly came from Xiao Yi as he slowly opened his eyes, which were clear as amber and brimming with thick ridicule and laughter. He looked past the numerous obstacles at Lin Xu, "To kill you, why would I need a sword?"

"Eh?"

Lin Xu was stunned.

Xiao Yi suddenly raised both hands, and in a trance, a sword shadow appeared around him!

The colossal sword shadow enveloped Xiao Yi within.

"What is a sword?"

"To charge forward without retreat, that is a sword!"

"To slay gods and exterminate immortals, that is a sword!"

"All things under heaven can serve as a sword..."

The solemn and forceful voice thundered resonantly, and a torrential Sword Intent surged from Xiao Yi.

This had already surpassed the previous four realms of Sword Intent.

It had reached the fifth realm—Myriad Swords as One!

Everything under heaven could become a sword!

Legend says...

Only those who reached the Longevity Secret Realm could comprehend this supreme Sword Intent.

"Slash!"

Xiao Yi's figure spun abruptly, and as the Sword Intent swept across, the dust and gravel on the ground were lifted into the air. These stones and sand transformed into streams of silver sword shadows, which, following the guidance of Xiao Yi's fingertips, cut through everything!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A maelstrom of Sword Qi swept through the entire ravine, with deafening roars echoing, countless God Devouring Ants were lifted into the sky,

and were shredded to pieces within the storm of Sword Qi.

And these fragments...

Under the guidance of Xiao Yi's Myriad Swords as One Sword Intent, also turned into even more sword shadows, sweeping in all directions.

More and more sword shadows appeared.

Thousands.

Tens of thousands!

And suddenly...

Xiao Yi stamped his foot vigorously and brought his hands together sharply, a glint flickered in his eyes like the edge of a sword, and with a thunderous roar from his lips, "Myriad Swords as One!"

Hum!

The sky filled with thousands upon thousands of sword shadows that converged above his head into an overwhelming sword shadow.

"Sword that Splits the Heavens!"

Xiao Yi swung both arms simultaneously.

Whoosh!

The supreme sword shadow descended from the sky, cleaving downward.

Where it passed...

The ravine shook violently, cracks spread across the rock walls, and the earth trembled as if a dragon were turning over. The terrifying destructive power did not stop there, slicing through countless God Devouring Ants in its unstoppable path, cleaving a clear and unobstructed pathway.

The icy edge of the blade fell straight down.

Lin Xu was so terrified that his soul almost left his body, his whole figure drenched in a cold sweat. Under the lock of the Sword Intent, he had no place to escape.

Trembling all over, Lin Xu roared repeatedly, "Save me, save me..."

But...

The Ant Queen behind him showed no emotion, merely controlling the surrounding God Devouring Ants to wrap around its own body. Its six cold, indifferent eyes devoid of any emotion, were slowly enveloped by the layers of ants, disappearing into the depths of the ravine.

"No..."

Lin Xu let out a desperate yell as the sword edge fell before his eyes.

Thud!

To his vision, the world was cleaved in two.

Indeed, it was his body that Xiao Yi had sundered with that single slash.

The two halves of the body lay in a pool of blood.

His eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness.

He couldn't understand why the God Devouring Ants he had painstakingly raised, had abandoned him. At the same time, he felt aggrieved over his death at the hands of a youth from the Tao Tribulation Realm whom he'd never heard of before, as insignificant as an ant.

Drip-drop!

Drip-drop!

The ravine seemed to return to tranquility, but the Sword Qi around Xiao Yi showed no sign of diminishing. He peered into the gradually settling dust of the ravine, speaking solemnly, "How much longer do you intend to hide?"

Within the tranquil ravine, a sudden voice came out, neither male nor female, indistinguishable in tone, "Hehe, since when did you notice my presence?"
