Chapter 127.2
Just then, a soldier rushed in, flustered.
Reporting to General Zhu, there is a disturbance outside, no one can stop it, please, General, come out and take control of the situation!
General Zhu Biwu was furious: Someone dares to cause trouble? How many of them?
Just one and its an old man!
General Zhu Biwu grew even angrier: What? An old man dares to cause trouble here? It seems hes tired of living! I will go and see for myself, to see who has the audacity of a bears heart and a leopards gall!
With his head held high and a confident stride, Zhu Biwu walked out, followed by Shi Canghai and others.
In less than a moment, they arrived at the top of the city wall.
There, they saw an old man in black, with a sword case on his back, walking step by step towards the capital city.
By his side, several hundred soldiers lay on the ground.
These soldiers were no ordinary fighters; many of them were of First-rate master level, yet they all lay on the ground, wailing in pain.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Biwu was furious: Whos there? Why have you harmed my soldiers?
I have no name; you may call me whatever you like! I have come here only to kill two people.
The old man sighed. Who would have thought that as soon as I mentioned my purpose, they would turn on me, shouting and attacking, leaving me no choice but to strike back hard!
Whom do you intend to kill? Zhu Biwu demanded.
Luo Yun, Zhou Zhen! the old man replied.
Zhu Biwus body shook!
Luo Yun was the traitor who had been lurking beside the Great Yue Emperor, secretly working for Great Zhu.
Zhou Zhen was originally a general of Great Yue, but after being persuaded by Luo Yun, he had switched allegiances and now served Great Zhu.
These two individuals are important figures of Great Zhu!
You demand their execution, how can any Great Zhu soldier not be agitated?
However, Zhu Biwu was not agitated, and he shouted, What crimes have they committed, that you want to kill them?
My master wishes to kill them, and as his disciple, I naturally have to oblige!
The elder slightly lifted his eyes, Ive heard that they are now with your Great Zhu! I hope you can hand them over, dont make a mistake!
How dare you!
Zhu Biwu roared in anger: You want to kill people of Great Zhu, and youre telling me not to make a mistake?
With a wave of his hand: Release the arrows, shoot him dead!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
A barrage of arrows was unleashed, raining down like a torrential downpour.
The elder did not even lift his eyes. The arrows, influenced by the force emanating from his body, veered off course, failing to hit him.
This is a powerful Innate!
Zhu Biwus expression turned grave. Its not easy fo your to cultivate to this point. I will give you one more chance. Leave immediately, or I will be forced to show no mercy!
The elder raised his head and shouted, Hand over Luo Yun and Zhou Zhen, or I will have no choice but to embark on a slaughter!
How arrogant!
Zhu Biwu roared in anger. Bring me my saber! Today, I shall take matters into my own hands and slay this fiend!
At once, General! Two men immediately approached, carrying a large saber.
Zhu Biwu grasped the saber with one hand and leaped down from the city wall, charging forward with an overwhelming murderous aura.
The old mans eyes were indifferent: An ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating ones own abilities!
He simply waved his hand and struck out with a palm!
This palm strike seemed unremarkable, but it suddenly transcended time and space to land on Zhu Biwus body.
He was directly smacked into the city wall, creating a crater, his condition unknown, dead or alive.
Everyone was shocked and alarmed: Quick, save the general!
Four people leaped down from the city wall; they were all Innate masters of Great Zhu.
General Shi Canghai waved his hand: This person comes with ill intent. We too shall take action to lend General Zhu a helping hand!
Yes, General! With that, another four Innate-level fighters joined the fray.
Now there were eight Innate-level fighters in total!
But the elder remained undaunted. After carefully identifying his targets, he exclaimed with joy, You two must be Luo Yun and Zhou Zhen, right? Ill be taking your heads!
Such arrogance! Today, I shall be the one to bring you to justice in place of the heavens! Luo Yun declared angrily.
I cant be bothered to waste words with you! Sword, come forth! the elder roared. The sheath on his back opened, and a pitch-black sword flew out from within, landing in the elders hand.
The old man held the sword with both hands, and fierce flames burst forth from it, then he brought it down with a mighty slash!
Flames filled the sky, and a scorching heatwave surged forth!
The 8 Innates were struck by the heatwave, each spewing a mouthful of blood as they fell, lying on the ground and wailing in pain.
Everyone was shocked and pale with fear!
What a terrifying old man!
What a terrifying divine sword!
With just one strike, he had inflicted heavy injuries on 8 Innates!
General Shi Canghai, standing atop the city wall, had a ghastly pale face with lips white as chalk, muttering under his breath, not daring to utter a single word.
Zhu Biwu, who had just struggled free from inside the city wall, witnessed this scene and quietly lay back down.
With a clang, the sword was sheathed.
The expressionless elder approached a blood-spitting powerhouse: Are you Luo Yun? This old man shall take your life!
With a swift hand-chop, he effortlessly claimed Luo Yuns head.
So you are Zhou Zhen? This old man shall take your life as well!
No! Dont kill me
You have no choice!
The old man snapped Zhou Zhens head off, then packed the two heads into a bundle, slung it over his shoulder, and walked away.
Everyone watched the scene with bated breath, not daring to intervene.
Who is this person exactly?
A powerful old man a black divine sword that can breathe fire I remember now! someone exclaimed.
That elder is the Sword Elder, who has already pledged allegiance to Great Xia! That sword that sword is the Great Xias Defender of the State divine swordthe Xuanxiao Sword!
People from Great Xia, and a sword from Great Xia?
Shi Canghai and Zhu Biwu exchanged glances.
Just moments ago, they were plotting an attack on Great Xia, but then a single master from the other side had them thoroughly defeated!
It was an overwhelmingly powerful display!
Great Xia must not be made an enemy of!
Two days later, the Sword Elder returned to report back, carrying with him two bloody severed heads.
Lin Beifan was very pleased and ordered that the heads be delivered to the Great Yue Emperor.
Great Yue Emperor looked very satisfied. Although he had lost his country and his power, seeing those two treacherous scoundrels lose their lives gave him a sense of vindictive pleasure.
Just as he stepped out the door, intending to clear his mind, he encountered four middle-aged men with extraordinary bearing.
Three of them looked at him with considerable hostility.
Who are you, and what do you want?
Great Yue Emperor asked, somewhat frightened but trying to sound fierce with the support of his guards. Ill have you know, I am Duke of Yue. You must not act rashly!
They scoffed and burst into disdainful laughter.
Pfft! Youre a duke? Who here isnt?
We used to fear you a little, but now that youve become a prisoner at our feet, whats there to be afraid of?
You have occupied my country, and now you have lost your own!
Great Yue Emperor, you never imagined you would see this day, did you?
Judging by your tone, you must be the Duke of Mo, Duke of An, and the others!
The Great Yue Emperor, from some newfound sense of superiority, stood tall and proud and said with great satisfaction: Though I have been defeated, I am still a former great kingdom emperor, a rank above you! Seeing me, shouldnt you be kowtowing and pay your respects?
The four emperors looked at each other, then rolled up their sleeves and charged forward.
Ill make you kowtow and pay respects!
I order you to kneel!
I order you to stop showing off!
Great Yue Emperor, clutching his head and scurrying away, cried out, Ouch! Why have you started fighting? Youve all been Emperors, how can you be so barbaric and unreasonable? Stop it! Stop it right now!
Because seeing you just infuriates me, I cant clear my mind unless I give you a beating!
