Chapter 2369 - 2370: Perfect Timing
"Pschh!"
An invisible Sword Qi pierced the air, and heavily landed on Ye Fusheng’s chest, directly penetrating through it, causing scarlet blood to instantly gush out, staining his chest red.
Everything was exactly as the king had anticipated—Ye Fusheng lost, and his defeat was abrupt and completely unprepared.
The reason the king could foresee Ye Fusheng’s defeat was entirely because he had previously fought against Ye Xunhuan and knew that Ye Xunhuan had a move called Dual Polarity Void Slash!
When this Dual Polarity Void Slash is executed, it appears to be completely calm and unremarkable, but in reality, it harbors a terribly powerful force.
The king had once suffered a setback from this move, so the moment he saw Ye Xunhuan calmly and slowly swing out his sword, he had already guessed that Ye Xunhuan likely employed the Dual Polarity Void Slash!
Ye Fusheng had never fought against Ye Xunhuan, so naturally, he was unaware of Ye Xunhuan’s such a technique, making it impossible for him to be prepared.
Lack of preparation almost equates to defeat!
This sharp Sword Qi, after penetrating Ye Fusheng’s body, caused him to uncontrollably step back several paces before he could slowly steady himself.
At that moment, Ye Fusheng’s face became pale, and it seemed as though he had aged decades within that instance.
Ye Fusheng lowered his head to look at the wound on his chest, his eyes full of unwillingness, unable to believe that he was defeated by a young brat.
Ye Xunhuan, on the other hand, looked proud and aloof as he gazed at Ye Fusheng: "Old bastard, do you still think I can’t kill you now?"
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was filled with a fierce killing intent, appearing like a mighty War God, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, extremely sharp.
Ye Fusheng slowly raised his head to look at Ye Xunhuan, though eyes filled with unwillingness, he knew he was truly defeated by Ye Xunhuan.
Nevertheless, Ye Fusheng didn’t lower his head to Ye Xunhuan, but gritted his teeth and said: "Ye Xunhuan, do you think this is enough to kill me?"
"If you think so, then I’m telling you, you’re gravely mistaken!"
Saying this, Ye Fusheng’s expression became somewhat grim, and his killing intent surged abruptly, the veins on his hand bulging, his killing intent reaching its peak.
Ye Fusheng now seemed like a demon crawling out from hell, exuding a chilling aura that made one’s heart tremble.
Upon sensing the change in Ye Fusheng, Ye Xunhuan’s expression instantly changed; he was too familiar with this state.
Because he used to behave in such a manner when ill, although Ye Xunhuan could now control himself.
But whether Ye Fusheng could control himself, Ye Xunhuan wasn’t sure; if he couldn’t, Ye Fusheng would become a machine that only knows killing.
Long Shou’s face drastically changed upon sensing the change in Ye Fusheng: "Uncle, why bother, continuing like this won’t allow you to kill Xunhuan, he knows what you know!"
At this moment, secretly observing, Lian Xing was filled with joy and shock upon seeing Ye Xunhuan’s sword strike Ye Fusheng’s chest, for she hadn’t fought Ye Xunhuan or knew about his Dual Polarity Void Slash!
In that instant, Lian Xing couldn’t help but wonder if she would be able to withstand Ye Xunhuan’s strange yet fierce sword strike.
Ultimately, Lian Xing arrived at an answer—it was impossible!
She wouldn’t be able to withstand Ye Xunhuan’s strange sword strike either.
But now Ye Fusheng’s state made Lian Xing realize something, her previously relaxed expression immediately turned serious.
"Is it time for the final life-and-death battle?"
Saying this, Lian Xing slowly clenched her fists together.
At this moment, the king, accompanied by Xiao Jiangnan, seemingly floating through midair, descended directly from the sky and said faintly, "Brother Ye, why are you fighting so desperately?"
Long Shou’s heart involuntarily twitched upon hearing the king’s voice.
What he was most worried about finally happened, the king still came, and at this precise moment.
Next, the king slowly landed on the ground, putting a hand directly on Ye Fusheng’s shoulder.
Seemingly casually placing a hand on Ye Fusheng’s shoulder, it actually concealed a gentle yet domineering Inner Strength, suppressing not only Ye Fusheng’s anger but also driving away some of his killing intent.
The sudden appearance of the king made Ye Xunhuan’s expression instantly change, his pupils slowly contracted together, with a deep sense of gravity on his face.
"King, you..."
"Brother, your fierce battle may be satisfying, but if you were to die, what would happen to the others of the Ye family?" The king seemed to anticipate what Ye Fusheng wanted to say and interrupted: "They all rely on you for survival!"
The moment the king appeared, Lian Xing’s eyes shot out a sharp light as her whole being became eager to move.
It can be said, if the king and Ye Fusheng were to team up against Ye Xunhuan now, Lian Xing would absolutely act without hesitation to assist Ye Xunhuan.
As for why Lian Xing would help Ye Xunhuan, perhaps only Lian Xing herself knows the answer.
Within the Ye family, facing the king, Ye Fusheng’s expression was full of complexity.
Were it not for the man before him, Evil King wouldn’t have died, and the Ye family could have become the undisputed number one ancient martial arts family.
But now Ye Fusheng had to admit, if the king hadn’t suddenly appeared, he would definitely fight Ye Xunhuan to the death; if he died then, the Ye family would likely face disaster.
"King, I have no other option," Ye Fusheng said with helplessness: "If I don’t fight desperately, I’ll die by his hands."
"No, no!" The king gently shook his head: "The Ye family is the backbone of the Holy War, now that someone comes causing trouble, as the leader of the national guardian, how could I stand by indifferently?"
Saying this, the king slowly rested his gaze on Ye Xunhuan: "Moreover, this person is the supreme commander of the underground world!"
"King, you really know how to appear at the right time," Ye Xunhuan said coldly.
With the king’s appearance, Ye Xunhuan knew the situation had escalated because he had fought the king before, aware of the king’s frightening might, and knowing that even at full effort, he might not be able to defeat the king, especially with Ye Fusheng beside him.
Even though he had severely injured Ye Fusheng, one must remember that a skinny camel is larger than a horse!
Even an injured Ye Fusheng should not be underestimated!
