Chapter 2264 - 2265: Ye Xunhuan’s Situation Is Dire
"Really?"
The king wouldn’t believe Ye Xunhuan’s words. After all, in the king’s eyes, Ye Xunhuan’s strength had already skyrocketed in such a short period, like a rocket taking off, which was already astonishing. If Ye Xunhuan could become even stronger, wouldn’t that mean this guy was defying the heavens?
Thus, the king didn’t believe Ye Xunhuan’s words at all, thinking Ye Xunhuan was lying and trying to intimidate him.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t say much more, but instead showed the king through action that he could indeed become even stronger.
In the next moment, the momentum around Ye Xunhuan changed drastically; he appeared like a demon god, with his aura surging immensely. At the same time, a gloomy blood-sea aura instantly swept towards the king.
In an instant, the king felt as if he were on a battlefield wrapped in horse leather, surrounded by corpses and thick blood, along with some dried horse carcasses.
The atmosphere was eerie like hell, like an Asura purgatory, terrifying and chilling, making the surroundings feel like an icy wind, sending shivers down the spine and beads of cold sweat dripping down the back!
This sudden sensation made the king’s heart sink, followed by a rising ominous premonition.
Suddenly, Ye Xunhuan appeared in front of the king with his sword, swiftly slashing towards him.
"Slash!"
The strike from Ye Xunhuan’s sword was diagonal, as if aiming to slice off the king’s head directly.
Just as Ye Xunhuan’s sword was about to land on the king’s neck, the king suddenly dodged backward.
"Swish!"
This backward dodge allowed the king to narrowly escape Ye Xunhuan’s lethal strike, and immediately he hurried to dodge to the side, creating distance between himself and Ye Xunhuan.
The king tried to dodge aside, aiming to widen the distance from Ye Xunhuan, but Ye Xunhuan didn’t give him the chance.
After all, when you’re at a disadvantage, someone might seize the opportunity to defeat you. Such a good chance - how could Ye Xunhuan miss it or give the king a chance to catch his breath?
"Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh..."
Ye Xunhuan’s sword flashed like a lightning serpent, roaring and flickering in mid-air, extremely sharp, with each move aiming to kill, forcing the king into a desperate dodge.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan’s speed completely merged into his sword technique, as fast as lightning, dazzling the eyes, and the fierce Sword Qi was soul-shattering, alarming the heart!
If it were anyone else facing Ye Xunhuan’s swift as the wind, lightning-fast sword moves, they would likely have been unable to parry long ago.
Even the current king was slowly becoming strained, as Ye Xunhuan’s sword was too swift, almost overwhelming his perception.
"Thud!"
Carelessly, a bloody wound immediately appeared on the king’s body from Ye Xunhuan’s sword, appearing exceptionally conspicuous.
One sword left a narrow bloody gash on the king, causing Ye Xunhuan’s momentum to surge immensely, like a rainbow, as his sword quickly thrust again towards the king.
Facing Ye Xunhuan’s relentless sword moves, the king’s face grew darker, while a surge of fury rose in his heart.
If not for Ye Xunhuan’s aura earlier disrupting his focus, he would never have been so passive, let alone so embarrassed.
But now, no matter what he said, it wouldn’t matter. Ye Xunhuan was relentlessly pursuing an opportunity to kill him without giving him any chance to breathe.
Suddenly, a gleam shot from the king’s eyes, as though he found an opportunity, and he blocked with his long blade in front of him.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound rang out all around again.
Ye Xunhuan’s sword directly struck against the king’s blade with immense force, causing the king to retreat instantly. As he retreated with Ye Xunhuan’s power, his blade swiftly sliced towards Ye Xunhuan!
"Slash!"
A fierce blade light immediately appeared in mid-air, carrying a devastative intent towards Ye Xunhuan, warding off his pursuit of the king.
This time, the king managed to create distance from Ye Xunhuan and gained a chance to catch his breath.
However, the king didn’t rest for a moment. As the blade light cleaved down, Ye Xunhuan instantly rushed towards his opponent.
Having been forced into a panic by Ye Xunhuan earlier, if he didn’t use this opportunity to attack Ye Xunhuan now, it would be unfortunate.
The king’s body shook, and he was immediately before Ye Xunhuan, shouting lowly: "Chain Strike!"
With that, the king’s blade swung towards Ye Xunhuan aggressively and swiftly, each strike like a storm or waves crashing the sea, exceedingly terrifying.
Facing the king’s fierce chain strike, Ye Xunhuan’s pupils contracted into a pin-point, becoming extremely dangerous.
Then Ye Xunhuan’s sword swiftly rotated in his hand, as if it were his third hand, bestowed with life.
The king’s consecutive strikes grew fiercer and more dominating, putting Ye Xunhuan in a severely passive position.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan’s previous dominance and the king’s predicament were entirely reversed.
Meanwhile, not far from the battlefield, two men stood on a hill.
An elderly man and a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was tall and elegant, features sharp as if chiseled, with deep eyes carrying a cold sternness, thin lips slightly curved in an aristocratic manner.
Moreover, the middle-aged man’s right hand held a crystal-clear, snow-white jade flute.
The elderly man beside him appeared very old, as if in his twilight years, with one foot nearly in the grave.
The old man’s face was gnarled like tree bark, and his eyes appeared somewhat cloudy.
He looked exactly like an ordinary old man, with no special differences.
From their vantage point, the middle-aged man and the old man could see the battle between the king and Ye Xunhuan perfectly.
"Ye Xunhuan’s situation looks a bit dire!" the old man slowly said.
