Chapter 2372 - 2373: Ye Fusheng’s Complete Defeat
The blood-red Slaughter Blade hung there like a scarlet sun, seizing the eye and radiating a strange, malignant aura; a single glance at it made fear crawl up from the depths of one’s heart.
"Splash!"
The next instant, Olivia swung the Slaughter Blade in her hand down!
With that one slash, yin wind howled in all directions, and it was as if countless wandering ghosts sprang into being, wailing with a ghastly, miserable roar; at the same time, that blade came down wreathed in the stench of blood and carnage, a storm of blood rain and gore made manifest!
"Boom!"
The scarlet light swallowed the sword glow Ye Fusheng had cleaved forth, then, without losing the slightest bit of momentum, howled straight toward Ye Fusheng.
Seeing this, Ye Fusheng’s face changed drastically; his heart convulsed uncontrollably in his chest.
A true expert can tell at a glance; the moment Olivia struck, Ye Fusheng felt the shadow of death wrap around him, could practically see the Reaper beckoning to him.
Unease, panic, and every manner of negative emotion erupted in Ye Fusheng’s heart all at once!
Yet even with his heart full of anxiety, chaos, fear, and other dark feelings, Ye Fusheng did not forget to strike back.
Not acting was the same as waiting to die—would Ye Fusheng ever obediently wait for death?
Obviously impossible!
So Ye Fusheng attacked.
In that instant, the aura around Ye Fusheng surged violently; his eyes slowly emptied of all emotion, filling instead with a bloody scarlet, like some bloodthirsty beast.
At that moment, Ye Fusheng was like a peerless sword drawn from its sheath, razor-sharp and terrifyingly keen!
"Wuji Pomao!"
Ye Fusheng gave a low growl, and the sword in his hand chopped down!
"Slash!"
With that one sword, the air before him shattered completely, forming a vacuum all around; the Sword Qi, cold as ice-blades, swept forward in a surging tide, intent on shattering the blood-red blade glow Olivia had unleashed!
"Crack!"
Sword glow and blade glow slammed into one another with brutal force, and a shrill, piercing sound rang out.
"Rumble..."
The enormous boom rolled out like muffled thunder, echoing again and again in every direction.
Sword glow and blade glow tangled together like dragon and tiger locked in combat, each trying to devour the other.
"Splash!"
An instant later, sword glow and blade glow vanished almost simultaneously, but the Yubo rippled outward in a crazed surge!
Wherever the Yubo passed, everything around was annihilated; even the nearby trees were snapped, toppling heavily to the ground.
Though sword glow and blade glow had both disappeared, the fierce blade aura had torn Ye Fusheng’s clothes open and sliced his skin beneath, thin lines of fresh blood seeping out!
Olivia, by contrast, hadn’t been affected in the slightest; she stood there exactly as composed as when she’d first appeared.
Hidden in the dark, Lian Xing saw this and a sharp light shot from her eyes. "What a terrifying slash!"
Even though Lian Xing wasn’t physically present, she could still feel the monstrous power contained in Olivia’s strike.
"Could that be the Slaughter Blade, one of the thirteen Holy Artifacts of the blood clan?" Lian Xing locked her gaze tightly onto the Slaughter Blade in Olivia’s hand.
The blood clan did indeed possess thirteen Holy Artifacts, but most had vanished in the long river of history. Only the Slaughter Blade had never been lost, always clutched in blood clan hands.
And whoever held the Slaughter Blade was almost always a leader of the blood clan—at the very least, one of its outstanding elites.
It was said that because the Slaughter Blade had killed over a million people, whenever it was drawn, the surroundings would become bone-chillingly eerie, and countless ghostly legions might even appear, subject to the wielder’s command!
Whether that rumor was true or false, Lian Xing did not know. But the mere existence of such a legend meant there had to be some truth behind it.
Even if the details were false, it still spoke to the extraordinary nature of the Slaughter Blade!
Though Lian Xing couldn’t be sure whether the blade in Olivia’s hand truly was the Slaughter Blade, she knew one thing: Ye Fusheng had no way to deal with Olivia!
Even if Ye Fusheng went berserk, he still wouldn’t be able to do anything to Olivia.
Because earlier, he’d already been gravely injured by Ye Xunhuan, and it was Sword Qi that had hurt him; that fierce Sword Qi had undoubtedly inflicted damage on Ye Fusheng’s organs to some extent!
In fact, things were exactly as Lian Xing had guessed; that invisible Sword Qi Ye Xunhuan had unleashed earlier had indeed inflicted serious harm on Ye Fusheng.
Now, within the Ye estate, the Slaughter Blade in Olivia’s hand was swinging faster and faster. Each stroke she unleashed was drenched in crimson blood-light, like a sea of blood, crashing down madly upon Ye Fusheng.
Faced with Olivia’s relentless assault, Ye Fusheng had managed to block at the outset, but now his defeat was fully beginning to show.
At this point, Ye Fusheng could still barely fend off Olivia’s attacks, but he was clearly struggling, forced into a pathetic, disheveled defense.
The King, locked in battle with Ye Xunhuan, kept flicking the corner of his eye toward Ye Fusheng. Seeing Ye Fusheng now driven into chaos by Olivia, his heart sank.
He absolutely did not want Ye Fusheng to die. If Ye Fusheng died, all the plans he’d laid beforehand might well be ruined.
The next moment, the King snarled at Xiao Jiangnan, "Jiangnan, go help Ye Fusheng!"
Before the King’s words had even finished, Xiao Jiangnan shot forward like a sharp arrow, hurtling out at high speed.
Seeing Xiao Jiangnan move, Lian Xing’s lips curled into a faint, scornful smile.
"King, do you really think he and Ye Fusheng together can defeat that woman?"
Just as Xiao Jiangnan made his move, Wei Ya’s Dragon Head flashed out, instantly blocking Xiao Jiangnan’s path.
"Ye Sovereign, what do you think you’re doing?"
"Going against you," Dragon Head said bluntly.
"You think you can stop me?"
"You think you can get past me?" Dragon Head shot back. "Xiao Jiangnan, I may not be as strong as my brother, but I’m not someone just anyone can provoke."
"Fine. Today I’ll see for myself just how strong you really are, Ye Sovereign!"
Because Dragon Head had stepped in, Xiao Jiangnan had no way to get close to Olivia and thus couldn’t possibly help Ye Fusheng!
Just then, the Slaughter Blade in Olivia’s hand dropped from the sky like a rainbow streak, crashing down!
"Puff!"
The blade fell, chopping straight into Ye Fusheng’s right shoulder. The keen edge sheared his arm clean off at the joint, sending it tumbling to the ground as scarlet blood sprayed wildly from the stump!
The very next instant, Olivia stamped her foot and shot forward in a blur, appearing right in front of Ye Fusheng. Her right leg snapped out like a spring, slamming brutally into Ye Fusheng’s chest!
"Bang!"
Her kick hammered into Ye Fusheng’s chest; the terrifying force blasted him away, hurling him through the air to crash hard into the ground!
