Chapter 2253 - 2254: The King in Peril
In the past in Huaxia, within the ancient martial arts traditions, the King could be said to be a top figure, or rather the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch in countless wuxia film and television works, where his word was law.
But now, Ye Xunhuan actually wants to overthrow him, even to replace him, causing the King’s initially fierce, almost cannibalistic expression to immediately soften, and then he erupted into mad laughter, as if hearing a very ridiculous joke.
After a few bouts of insane laughter, the King’s eyes shot out a sharp gleam, making one shudder.
"Ye Xunhuan, you want to replace me?"
"Warlords and ministers, who is born to power!" Ye Xunhuan said coldly, "If you, King, can become the guardian leader, why can’t I, Ye Xunhuan?"
"Such a ’warlords and ministers, who is born to power’!" The King repeated Ye Xunhuan’s words with a cold face: "Your ambition is not small, which I admire, but this position, you are not yet qualified to assume, at least for now you can’t sit there!"
"If I kill you, then I can."
At the end of the sentence, an aura sharp as a sword shot out from Ye Xunhuan, the whole person resembling an unsheathed treasure sword, making it impossible for others to look directly.
In the next moment, Ye Xunhuan catapulted from the spot, his feet like they were spring-loaded; with a whoosh, he shot out, like a spear hurled forth, piercing towards the King with a howl.
Perhaps because one sword had injured the King, Ye Xunhuan’s aura exploded upward, and an invincible belief began burning in his heart.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan considered himself undefeated.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, Ye Xunhuan appeared before the King, the sword in his hand darting forth like a striking viper.
The cold gleam tore through the sky, like a silver-white lightning bolt, piercing the eyes.
Facing Ye Xunhuan’s ferocious and swift strike like the wind, the King showed not a trace of fear, nor any intention to retreat, directly clashing with his saber!
"Clang!"
The blade and sword collided, a crisp ringing sound suddenly echoed all around.
Just as Ye Xunhuan attacked the King, Jue Tian and Olivia moved, forming a pincer attack with Ye Xunhuan against the King.
At this moment, the King was beset on three sides, and none of them were characters to mess with.
However, despite this, the King was not at all flustered, on the contrary, he became increasingly calm, and the long knife in his hand whirled faster at this moment.
At this moment, the King’s blade had no technique to speak of, he sought pure speed.
All martial arts in the world, only speed cannot be overcome.
The King was now entirely focused on speed, pursuing the ultimate in speed.
The King’s blade was fast, but Ye Xunhuan and his companions were not slow, and now Ye Xunhuan was the main attacker, restraining the King, while Jue Tian and Olivia assisted.
Yet precisely because Jue Tian and Olivia were assisting, the King dared not be careless.
After all, the blades in Olivia and Jue Tian’s hands had a sinister trait, as long as they cut the human body, the wound wouldn’t heal, causing one to bleed to death.
So the King had no choice but to muster every bit of spirit to face them, to avoid getting injured by Jue Tian and Olivia’s blades.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan and the others, as well as the King, pushed each other’s speed to the limit, so that shadows flashed rapidly all around, along with dazzling blade and sword lights!
At this moment, it’s no exaggeration to say it was a scene of flashing blades and sword shadows.
Under such incredible speed, others couldn’t catch sight of the three figures, only see afterimages howling past in front of them, like phantoms.
Initially, the King, facing their attacks, was managing well enough, but as time passed, Ye Xunhuan and the others’ attacks grew more fierce and relentless, causing the King to gradually start struggling.
Nevertheless, the King was neither discouraged nor did he waver, still holding the long knife, fiercely countering, while his demeanor remained as cold as ever, showing no anxiety or panic given his predicament.
It was as if he indeed had yet another trick up his sleeve.
But no matter what, Ye Xunhuan and the others wouldn’t stop. After all, when the enemy is sick, you take their life. Now that they finally had the King thoroughly suppressed, how could they give him any chance to breathe?
Therefore, when making moves, not only were their hands not the slightest bit feeble, they became even more resolute.
Time flew by, and the killing continued.
By now, this place almost resembled a mass grave, with dismembered bodies everywhere, and the thick blood pooling together on the ground, nearly forming a river.
The thick, pungent scent of blood entirely lingered in the air, growing all the more intense.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly echoed around, followed by Jue Tian’s leg striking the King, directly kicking him away!
"Crash!"
The King was cast uncontrollably to the ground.
The King had just landed on the ground when Ye Xunhuan’s sword immediately swung from below.
"Boom..."
The ground seemed laden with explosives, suddenly igniting, roaring towards the King.
"Snap!"
Next moment, the King slapped the ground with his left hand, propelling himself up, spinning like a top, swiftly dodging to the side.
"Boom!"
As the King dodged aside, a rock behind him exploded into fragments, flying all over the sky.
The King had barely avoided the deadly strike and had no time to catch his breath when Jue Tian and Olivia advanced swiftly towards him.
At this moment, Olivia and Jue Tian approached from both sides, their speed unparalleled, reaching the King in less than a single breath, their swords in hand, scything at the King like the blades of death.
Two blinding and chilling gleams came forth, causing the King’s pupils to constrict into needles.
"Swish!"
As the two blades slashed forth, the King bent back like a roly-poly, leaning back immediately.
"Whoosh!"
The twin blades barely grazed past the King, but the sharp blade wind shredded his clothes.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan soared into the sky like an eagle spreading its wings, the whole figure resembling a celestial being, immediately cleaving his sword from overhead!
