The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 208 - 207: Counterkill

Chapter 208: Chapter 207: Counterkill

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the Blood Killing Sect’s folks are really unscrupulous, selling out their own employer like that."

Seeing the Blood Hunting King throw out the Emperor of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be amused.

Boom!

While speaking, a horrifying Sword Intent suddenly emerged from Ye Xuan’s body.

"Great Success Sword Intent!" This immediately made the Blood Hunting King’s heart sink slightly.

Although this guy clearly wasn’t a Prince, his terrifying speed meant that he couldn’t be shaken off easily.

This made the Blood Hunting King somewhat resentful.

"Do you really want to fight me to the death?"

"Sorry, only you die, I survive." Ye Xuan smiled indifferently as he slashed with his sword.

Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier!

Boom!

A terrifying sword directly targeted the Blood Hunting King!

Seeing that Ye Xuan had used this move, the Blood Hunting King’s expression darkened instantly.

"Since you really are seeking death, don’t blame me!"

The Blood Hunting King channeled the True Qi within his body into the high-grade spiritual sword in his right hand.

Hiss——

True Qi release!

It formed a blood-colored Sword Aura visible to the naked eye!

Boom!

The Blood Hunting King didn’t try to directly block the Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier, but instead, with even greater speed, he slashed out, his Sword Aura striking at Ye Xuan!

The force of that sword was enough to easily annihilate a Prince.

But in the void, there was no sound emitted.

The blood-colored Sword Aura, like a startling swan, instantly slashed out.

Their moves were just like those during the daytime when Ye Xuan had fought with that Prince of the Flying Dragon Sacred Land.

That Prince from the Flying Dragon Sacred Land, taking the initiative used Flying Dragon Capture, trying to capture and kill Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan countered with a sword that directly targeted that Prince.

Now, the Blood Hunting King was using the same move Ye Xuan had used then.

Directly ignoring whatever move you deploy, I’ll just kill you outright.

But since Ye Xuan knew this technique too, seeing the Blood Hunting King use it, he naturally reacted immediately.

"Die!"

The Blood Hunting King’s eyes were fierce.

His sword was faster and more powerful than Ye Xuan’s. If Ye Xuan had no means to block, he would only be waiting for death.

And the Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier was naturally also broken through!

But the Blood Hunting King had an intuition that this guy definitely had a backup plan!

"Clang————"

Sure enough.

In the next moment, in front of Ye Xuan, a three-meter-tall figure suddenly appeared, blocking in front of Ye Xuan, easily stopping the Blood Hunting King’s sword!

"Damn it!" The Blood Hunting King was extremely furious, and quickly pulled back, trying to avoid the Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier.

"It’s not that simple." Ye Xuan said coldly, his left hand forming a seal.

Boom!

The next moment, a figure descended in front of the Blood Hunting King, blocking his path, and reaching down with a large hand, pressing towards the Blood Hunting King.

"Not good!" The Blood Hunting King’s face changed dramatically, too late to dodge, so he could only thrust out with his sword.

Clang!

However, what followed was the sound of metal clashing.

This was completely beyond the Blood Hunting King’s expectations.

The Blood Hunting King’s heart sank, knowing it was bad.

However, it was of no use whatsoever.

Boom!

The figure made a move, pressing down with a large hand, directly grasping the Blood Hunting King’s head.

"Ah————"

The Blood Hunting King immediately let out a shrill scream.

By then, the Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier had already arrived.

Boom!

The held-down Blood Hunting King, unable to move at all, struggled in vain as the Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier directly smashed into him!

"No————" The Blood Hunting King let out a resentful roar.

"Bang, bang, bang————"

The Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier hit the Blood Hunting King, instantly producing a series of subdued thuds.

With each thud, the Blood Hunting King spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

The Blood Hunting King was almost instantly killed.

The Sword Qi Rolling Dragon Barrier dissipated.

The Blood Hunting King’s body was left without a single good piece of flesh.

Ye Xuan dispersed the Taiyi True Water, landing on the ground.

The bronze divine puppet followed behind.

And the ’person’ who had held down the Blood Hunting King was also a bronze divine puppet.

The Blood Hunting King never thought that Ye Xuan was carrying four bronze divine puppets with him until his death.

It should be known that each bronze divine puppet could easily defeat a Prince.

Moreover, they have no life, are divine puppets, and even if attacked, they could perfectly resolve it.

The Blood Hunting King thought there was someone blocking the way, which is why he delivered that sword.

Who would have thought that it wasn’t a person at all, but rather a bronze divine puppet, destined to die a tragic death on the spot.

Ye Xuan looked down at the corpse of the Blood Hunting King, his expression cold and detached.

"The human emperor of Lie Tian Heavenly Country, huh..."

"After this Golden Pond event ends, I’ll take the opportunity to demand that your elder hand over the Golden Pond."

From the beginning to the end, this had all been within his calculations.

Lie Tian Heavenly Country would invite someone to assassinate him, something he had long anticipated.

As for who they would send, Ye Xuan did not know.

But that did not hinder his strategic planning; he had already warned Hua Tianqiong earlier that if they were to play tricks, they shouldn’t blame him for being ruthless.

Now that Lie Tian Heavenly Country had indeed played tricks, he would not be courteous.

The Golden Pond was something he must take back.

Moreover, Lie Tian Heavenly Country also needed to be taught a lesson.

Ye Xuan stored the bronze divine puppet behind him into the Storage Ring, leaving only one.

"Bring his body."

Ye Xuan said to the bronze divine puppet that was holding down the Blood Hunting King.

He then headed straight for the dojo.

Obediently, the bronze divine puppet carried the ragged corpse of the Blood Hunting King, closely following behind Ye Xuan.

If Xu Jiu were to see this scene, he would probably be shockingly impressed.

To control a bronze divine puppet, when did one start using vocal commands?

Isn’t one supposed to cultivate the Divine Puppet Technique and manipulate it with the technique?

No one knew how Ye Xuan managed to do it.

This remarkable maneuver was something only seen with Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan leading the way, the bronze divine puppet following behind, they made their way to the dojo.

After scouting the location, Ye Xuan approached the area where Hua Yunfei and others were, then gestured for the bronze divine puppet to throw down the body of the Blood Hunting King.

"Here’s a surprise for you," Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Thump!

The body hit the ground, making a soft noise.

Ye Xuan immediately took back the bronze divine puppet, concealed his form, and vanished from sight.

"Who?!"

The moment Ye Xuan disappeared, experts from Lie Tian Heavenly Country arrived instantly.

"Hmm?"

They immediately noticed the corpse of the Blood Hunting King on the ground.

"What is this?!" Upon seeing the face of the Blood Hunting King, they were instantly shocked.

Wasn’t this the person who had been following their prince? Why was he dead here?

Immediately, they dispatched their divine senses to probe the surroundings, but found nothing.

"What’s going on?!"

Hua Yunfei arrived quickly.

"Your Highness, see for yourself," the experts withdrew their divine senses and pointed to the corpse of the Blood Hunting King on the ground.

Hua Yunfei looked at the corpse of the Blood Hunting King, his expression suddenly turned grim: "How did he die?!"

At that moment, Hua Yunfei was deeply shocked.

This guy was specifically meant to assassinate Ye Xuan, how could he die here?

"I suspect someone killed him and dumped him here," one of the experts from Lie Tian Heavenly Country said.

"Do you know who did it?" Hua Yunfei asked gravely.

"Not yet..."

Hua Yunfei’s face turned ugly; he crouched down and carefully examined the wounds of the Blood Hunting King.

After a while, Hua Yunfei’s pupils suddenly constricted.

These wounds, why do they feel similar to Huang Jingtian’s when he died...

Ye Xuan?!

"It can’t be him; with his strength, how could he kill the Blood Hunting King? Could someone else have helped?"

"Moreover, why were there no sounds of fighting? With so many powerful individuals in this dojo, it’s impossible that no one noticed..."

For a time, Hua Yunfei was filled with doubts and uncertainties.

Meanwhile.

Ye Xuan had already silently returned to the complex of palaces, avoiding everyone’s gaze.

Even Nie Shan and Yu Wenlei, who were guarding the outside of the palace complex, had no idea about Ye Xuan’s presence.

The concealment technique Ye Xuan used was unique in the world; even in this dojo with many individuals more advanced in the Daoist arts, his concealment technique allowed Ye Xuan to perfectly evade these individuals’ senses.

On his way back, Ye Xuan also discovered some things.

People from Xuanmo Cave, Smoke Mist Mountain, Sacred Land of Lingxu, as well as powers like the Murong Family of Sky Wind Upper Country, Thunder Cloud Mountain, Ancient Yun Shang Country, and others were secretly spying on the resting spots of the people from Emperor Immortal Sect.

These individuals all bore hostility but showed no intent to engage, which gave Ye Xuan a feeling.

Were these fellows afraid of their fleeing?

Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a smile, yet his eyes flickered with cold lights.

These fellows, they watched too closely and never slept.

Ye Xuan quietly returned to his room, found that Zhou Youwei and Zhou Bingyi had not yet slept, but he did not go in; instead, he moved to the side hall to sit in meditation and rest, waiting for the dawn to come.

Tomorrow, there would surely be a startling battle.

The night deepened, as dark clouds covered the bright moon, shrouding the entire dojo in darkness.

It was silent and soundless.

One night passed.

The next day, early in the morning.

All the people from various forces had woken up.
