Chapter 2211 - 2212: Taught by Me
The king’s feint was both fast and swift, giving Ye Xunhuan no chance to react. The shadow of a leg, as if a giant blade, came down forcefully!
"Crack!"
As the leg shadow descended, the air in front seemed to shatter like ice hit by a heavy object, producing an extremely piercing sound.
The fierce leg wind surged forward, causing Ye Xunhuan’s eyes to instinctively squint.
"Primordial Shield!" Ye Xunhuan shouted in a low voice.
Immediately, the sword in Ye Xunhuan’s hand swung suddenly in front of him, instantly creating something like a grand bell in a temple, enclosing him within!
At that moment, the leg shadow abruptly fell, landing heavily on Ye Xunhuan’s protective body energy.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound rang out suddenly, as if glass shattered.
"Boom!"
A heavy sound echoed as Ye Xunhuan’s body uncontrollably flew backward, like being hit by a speeding car on the road, flying several meters back.
"Clang!"
Ye Xunhuan crashed heavily to the ground, his mouth slightly open, spewing a mouthful of bright red blood, staining the ground.
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan felt as if someone was hammering his heart with an iron hammer, causing excruciating pain.
If Ye Xunhuan moved even slightly now, a painful sensation, like ants gnawing, would surge through his organs, making him involuntarily gasp for breath.
The king stood calmly a short distance in front of Ye Xunhuan, his entire being exuded a sharp aura, like an unsheathed sword, extremely sharp!
"Ye Xunhuan, I told you, you can’t beat me!" The king said proudly, like an ancient emperor overlooking his subjects, looking down at Ye Xunhuan.
Uncomfortable as Ye Xunhuan was with the king’s condescending gaze, he was helpless. He truly wasn’t a match for the king.
Ye Xunhuan remained silent, staring intently at the king with cold eyes like a venomous snake.
Yet, the king disregarded Ye Xunhuan’s gaze completely, calmly staring at Ye Xunhuan, "Ye Xunhuan, I’m asking you one last time, who taught you your skills?"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t immediately respond, his gaze swept over the king repeatedly like a blade.
"What, still not talking?" The king said coldly, "Ye Xunhuan, I said I wouldn’t kill you, and I still won’t. But your little lover here, I never said I wouldn’t kill!"
As he finished speaking, the king suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, his left hand extending abruptly.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan quickly looked and saw Tang Yurou running down from the villa, her face full of panic, as she made her way toward Ye Xunhuan!
"Don’t..." Ye Xunhuan’s expression changed dramatically, he urgently shouted.
Just as Ye Xunhuan spoke, a strong suction force emerged, pulling Tang Yurou uncontrollably towards the king.
Telekinesis!
Indeed, the king exhibited telekinesis, but now, he wasn’t manipulating objects, he was manipulating a person!
Subsequently, Tang Yurou arrived directly in front of the king, or more precisely, the king’s hand was already gripping Tang Yurou’s slender neck.
With the king gripping her neck, a suffocating sensation immediately enveloped Tang Yurou.
Seeing Tang Yurou being choked by the king, a surge of strength inexplicably arose within Ye Xunhuan, and he stood up from the ground with a swoosh.
"King, let her go!" Ye Xunhuan’s eyes widened in fury, appearing as if they would spew fiery flames.
"Ye Xunhuan, I advise you not to act, you’re already severely injured, you can’t possibly be my opponent." The king said indifferently, "Moreover, if my hand shakes, your little lover might perish!"
Tang Yurou longed to speak, to tell Ye Xunhuan not to heed the king, but with her neck choked by the king, she couldn’t speak or even open her mouth.
Ye Xunhuan’s pale face immediately turned awfully grim. The king’s power was evident, and if he intended to kill Tang Yurou, then even before he reached the king, Tang Yurou would likely be dead.
"King, what do you want?"
"What do I want?" The king couldn’t help but laugh, "Ye Xunhuan, you seem to have misunderstood something!"
"From the beginning, I approached you calmly to discuss the current situation, but you chose to fight me. Otherwise, you could’ve just let me leave to avoid all this trouble!"
Ye Xunhuan was lost for words. The king was right. He hadn’t intended to fight; it was Ye Xunhuan who first challenged the king, causing all this trouble later on.
"See, you don’t even know what to say!" Observing Ye Xunhuan’s silence, the king spoke again, "Alright, I’ll repeat myself, tell me who taught you your skills, and I’ll let her go. If not, I genuinely will kill her!"
"Don’t think I’m deceiving you." The king’s voice suddenly changed, "I don’t have a habit of joking!"
Saying this, the king slowly applied pressure on Tang Yurou’s neck, causing her face to become increasingly distressed, and her lips to darken slightly, evidently from suffocation!
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan immediately shouted, "King, is this the kind of despicable means you’re capable of?"
It’s not that Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to tell, but if he revealed it was learned from He Luo, the king wouldn’t let it slide and might even use Tang Yurou as leverage against He Luo.
"Despicable is the term for the powerless." The king replied calmly, "True strength doesn’t speak of despicable acts, because against overwhelming power, all schemes are feeble."
"You..."
"I have limited patience, Ye Xunhuan, tell me who taught you, and I’ll let her go." The king interrupted Ye Xunhuan’s words.
Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath and looked at the king, firmly saying, "If I tell you, will you truly let Yurou go?"
"Is there a need for me to deceive you?" The king said softly, "Or do you think someone so insignificant could threaten me in any way?"
Ye Xunhuan’s face began to fluctuate between clarity and uncertainty.
Then, as if making a significant decision, Ye Xunhuan’s face immediately reflected determination, "Alright, I’ll tell you, it was I..."
"It was I who taught him!"
At that moment, a sudden voice echoed in mid-air.
