Chapter 2376 - 2377: The Monarch’s Trump Card, Three-Way Life-and-Death Struggle
Ye Xunhuan and Olivia were like two ferocious tigers, their bodies exuding a chilling aura and an overwhelming thirst for blood.
"Swish!"
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia stood before the king, wielding a blade in one hand and a sword in the other. Without hesitation, they struck at the king.
"Crash!"
The sound was deafening, like a waterfall being cut apart. The dazzling light seemed like a massive celestial curtain, majestic and terrifying!
Faced with Ye Xunhuan and Olivia’s fierce attack, the king’s expression changed dramatically, his heart involuntarily constricting.
"Primordial Unity!"
As he spoke, the blade in the king’s hand vanished. He swiftly waved his hands before him, enveloping the attackers in a shield akin to a giant bell found in temples!
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Two heavy sounds echoed in mid-air, striking the king’s shield but failing to shatter it. Instead, they sent Ye Xunhuan and Olivia’s blade and sword lights flying.
This unexpected turn of events caught both Ye Xunhuan and Olivia off guard, their expressions shifting dramatically.
Without hesitation, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia swiftly dodged to the side.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A moment later, two loud crashes were heard, and the wall on the side collapsed.
Seeing the scene before them, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia couldn’t help but gasp. The king had hidden himself well, only now revealing his true prowess.
What on earth was this Primordial Unity that could repel both their sword and blade lights?
To the side, Lian Xing’s eyes were filled with unprecedented gloom: "Primordial Divine Art, king, you’ve actually mastered it!"
Primordial Divine Art!
Upon hearing these words, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia showed signs of bewilderment, evidently unaware of what this Primordial Divine Art entailed!
"Who are you?" The king’s face was clouded with darkness, his eyes flickering with a sinister threat.
The number of people knowing the king had mastered the Primordial Divine Art was minimal, and Lian Xing was definitely not among them. Yet she knew instantly, forcing the king to reassess her.
Who exactly was this woman to know of the Primordial Divine Art?
"Does it really matter so much who I am to you?" Lian Xing said gravely, "King, you’ve mastered the Primordial Divine Art, likely reaching its pinnacle. It seems you’ve endured much suffering!"
"You seem well-informed about the Primordial Divine Art."
"It’s said that the Seven Wounds Fist harms others before oneself, but few know it’s derived from the Primordial Divine Art. Practicing this art requires enduring severed meridians and organs!" Lian Xing said heavily, "Though you’ve mastered it, your meridians are likely nearly shattered, aren’t they?"
"I underestimated you!"
"King, I can’t imagine someone as lofty as you practicing such a lethal skill!" Lian Xing slowly exhaled.
"You can’t imagine many things!"
"But I’m curious why you’d practice such a life-threatening art?"
Lian Xing couldn’t fathom it. The king was exalted, commanding countless followers by words alone, so why would he risk it all for the Primordial Divine Art?
"Do you think this position is comfortable?" the king sneered. "Holding this position means bearing responsibilities, controlling everyone, demanding their submission!"
"If not, why would others listen to you? Only by amassing enough power to instill fear will people heed you and follow your commands!"
"But then they only submit to your strength. If someone overtakes you, they’ll surely rebel!"
"That’s why the Evil King died!" the king said heavily, "Yet I live!"
The king’s intent was clear: those who disobeyed or had dissent, no matter how skilled, would be eliminated!
"King, it seems today we must kill you, or we’ll end up like the Evil King!"
Lian Xing wasn’t sure how many knew of the king’s mastery of the Primordial Divine Art, but she knew it was his trump card, used in desperate times to catch foes off guard.
Now that they knew the king’s secret, he wouldn’t let them live.
So today, someone must die—either the king or them!
"Ye Xunhuan, unleash your full power or we’ll all perish here," Lian Xing said, her gaze locked on the king without turning.
Since Lian Xing knew of the Primordial Divine Art, she understood its dangers. She knew now was the time to fight, or they’d be doomed.
Ye Xunhuan also saw that the king’s move was indeed fearsome, and the Primordial Divine Art was likely no ordinary technique. Without hesitation, he said, "Alright!"
Then Ye Xunhuan turned to Olivia, "Olivia, use your strongest move to kill him!"
"No problem!" Olivia agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Next, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia leapt into mid-air, wielding a blade and sword that emitted dazzling light, swiftly descending to strike.
"Yin Yang Unity, Two Yi Four Symbols Slash!"
"Blood Sacrifice, Shattered Mountains and Rivers!"
Two low shouts echoed simultaneously, as they both swung their blade and sword down.
At that moment, Lian Xing leapt into the air, forming a triangle with Ye Xunhuan and Olivia to strike at the king.
"Blade of the Aurora!"
"Swish!"
Lian Xing’s Crescent Blade also swung swiftly from mid-air!
Three dazzling lights descends like meteors from the sky, bearing an indomitable aura towards the king!
