Chapter 2209 - 2210: You Must Also Pay the Price
The immense blade light descended with a force capable of splitting Ye Xunhuan in half.
In an instant, the piercing blade aura surged forward, striking the body like ice blades, as if it wanted to slice the skin open.
With the blade aura’s onslaught, Ye Xunhuan’s clothes were shredded, leaving tiny cuts on his skin.
Suddenly, every hair on Ye Xunhuan’s body stood on end, and his muscles tensed up.
"Ocean Embracing All Rivers!" Ye Xunhuan shouted, swiftly moving the sharp sword in his right hand through the air.
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t care if the King would find out he had He Luo. He hurriedly unleashed the Ocean Embracing All Rivers from He Luo, capable of swallowing other forces and storms.
The sword danced in Ye Xunhuan’s hand, immediately forming a gigantic whirlpool in front of him, like some enormous sea creature absorbing the seawater, creating a vortex.
The whirlpool grew larger and larger, resembling a black hole capable of devouring everything, evoking a soul-devouring feeling.
"Swoosh!"
The massive blade light fell, instantly sucked into the giant whirlpool, along with the sharp blade aura like icy blades.
Just as the whirlpool was about to engulf all the blade light, it seemed to reach its limit, emitting a cracking sound, followed by a terrifying burst of energy exploding right in front of Ye Xunhuan!
"Boom..."
The enormous explosion echoed all around, incredibly shocking, like a bomb dropping from the air and exploding amidst the crowd, devastating everything with overwhelming force.
"Bang!"
Ye Xunhuan flew out uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string.
During the backward flight, Ye Xunhuan’s mouth opened slightly, spitting out bright red blood, turning his face extremely pale.
"Crash!"
After gliding briefly in the air, Ye Xunhuan landed heavily on the ground, his face pale as paper, terrifyingly so.
Although Ye Xunhuan was knocked away, the King’s face showed no sign of arrogance or triumph. Instead, his expression was heavy, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Xunhuan, filled with a wolf-like, tiger-like killing intent.
Lying on the ground, Ye Xunhuan felt as if his organs had shifted, painfully so, but he had no choice but to endure it, slowly rising from the ground.
After getting up, Ye Xunhuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring directly at the King: "This is the third time!"
The third time Ye Xunhuan referred to was being knocked away by the King for the third time.
The first time was at the Xiahou family, the second in Jiangzhong City, and the third is here.
And each time, the King injured Ye Xunhuan.
The saying goes, "Three strikes and you’re out," and this was the third time the King caused substantial harm to Ye Xunhuan, filling his heart with a dark killing intent.
But Ye Xunhuan also knew that beating the King was incredibly difficult, akin to an ant trying to move a tree!
The King had no idea what Ye Xunhuan meant by the third time, nor did he care. Instead, he stared at Ye Xunhuan and asked, "Ye Xunhuan, what was that move you just used, who taught you?"
Ye Xunhuan’s move Ocean Embracing All Rivers had just caused an inexplicable panic and fear in the King, even making him sense a hint of danger.
Thus, the King ignored Ye Xunhuan’s words, directly asking who taught him the Ocean Embracing All Rivers!
Ye Xunhuan stared at the King and replied heavily: "It certainly wasn’t taught by you!"
"Ye Xunhuan, I’m giving you one last chance. Tell me who taught you that move!" The King said, full of seriousness, while his eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent.
"Do you think I might tell you the answer?"
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan also understood that the King didn’t know the secrets within He Luo, nor the moves, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked such questions.
However, if Ye Xunhuan were older or had stayed in Huaxia all along, he would have known that He Luo hadn’t appeared publicly for nearly a century.
Previously, He Luo had been with the He family, but few could comprehend its secrets, and even those who did rarely flaunted it, so the King’s ignorance was understandable.
But the King knew about something called He Luo.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the King’s face grew darker with increased killing intent: "Ye Xunhuan, seems like you prefer the hard way!"
With that, the King’s aura and killing intent surged sharply, reaching a terrifying boiling point in an instant.
At this moment, the King stood still, exuding an immovable presence, like a mountain.
The King had now decided to kill Ye Xunhuan.
And this killing intent was genuine.
Feeling the overwhelming and sharp killing intent from the King, Ye Xunhuan’s heart sank to rock bottom, with unprecedented gravitas showing on his pale face. His right hand holding the sword tightened further, his eyes vigilantly fixed on the King.
"Ye Xunhuan, this is your last chance. If you don’t speak, then today I’ll take half of your life!" The King said coldly.
The King wanted to kill Ye Xunhuan, but he knew it wasn’t time yet. He planned to wait a couple more days, so if Ye Xunhuan didn’t speak out, he intended to severely wound him!
"Taking half your life means you’ll be a helpless fish on the chopping board, not only at my mercy but at the mercy of others as well!"
Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily, his face full of gravitas: "King, cut the crap. If you want half my life, then you’ll have to pay a price!"
As he spoke, a barely visible whirlwind appeared around Ye Xunhuan, while his eyes turned bright red, and the killing intent accumulated from countless bodies and blood erupted.
In an instant, the surroundings seemed filled with eerie winds, like endless wild ghosts wailing, evoking a chilling feeling.
