The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 418 - 417 Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone

Chapter 418: Chapter 417 Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone

"I offered you an upright and fair deal, yet you insisted on sending your son to his death," Ye Xuan shook his head with a wry smile.

This Liu Changfei was utterly foolish to the extreme.

He even felt a bit of pity for the unlucky Liu Yu.

With such a hopelessly witless father, how could he not meet his end?

Such a superficial trick, and yet Liu Changfei thought of it.

Ye Xuan really wanted to laugh.

"Liu Yu is dead?!"

Within the protective barrier, Le Hongbo and the others were dumbstruck.

Damn it, Liu Changfei came, didn’t he? Why did Liu Yu still die?

Because of the barrier, they were unaware of what had happened outside; they only saw Liu Yu first get his arms removed, then promptly have his life taken.

Looking at the still-warm body of Liu Yu, Le Hongbo lost control of his emotions.

"What the hell is going on? Didn’t the Purple Flame Mountain people arrive? Why did Ye Xuan still take action?!"

"This guy, could it be that he never intended to let us off from the very beginning?!"

Le Hongbo yelled and screamed.

This made Peng Cangfeng and Du Feiyuan’s faces turn deathly pale.

At this moment, they regretted their actions to the utmost.

Had they known this day would come, they would never have sought trouble with Ye Xuan.

Who would have thought that within this small Southern Domain, such a formidable Demon King lurked!

His ruthlessness had struck a deep fear into their hearts.

Not just them, even Wushan and the others who arrived later had unsightly expressions at this moment.

However, they were relatively calmer, quickly surmising what might have happened.

It must have been because of the Purple Flame Mountain people that Ye Xuan’s killing intent was provoked, resulting in Liu Yu’s painful death.

All they could do was pray in secret that their elders wouldn’t make any foolish moves, otherwise they were sure to follow in Liu Yu’s footsteps.

They didn’t want to die!

And at this moment.

Liu Changfei was uncontrollably furious, his murderous intent skyrocketing: "Ye Xuan, you’re going to die!"

The terrifying power erupted to its limit at this instance.

Boom!

Purple Flames surged around Liu Changfei as he unleashed a punch.

Roar————

The purple flames spread like a blanket, instantly transforming into a ten-thousand-meter-long dragon, charging towards Ye Xuan with a sky-shaking roar!

But at the same time, the purple sun behind Ye Xuan burst forth with even more astonishing power, firmly blocking Liu Changfei’s furious strike!

"If you want to see your own people die, then just keep watching," Ye Xuan said unhurriedly.

These words caused the Black Tiger Elder and others who were watching from the side to curse under their breath, having no choice but to intervene and block Liu Changfei.

"Get out of my way, all of you! Do you want to be at death’s door with Purple Flame Mountain?!"

Liu Changfei, already at the peak of his fury and encountering the obstruction from Black Tiger Elder and others, was incapable of touching Ye Xuan and could only let out a continuous roar.

"Liu Changfei, your son was killed by your own doing. Do you also want to cause the death of our people?" the bald man from Seven Killings Sect retorted coldly, not showing any fear of Liu Changfei.

The people from Qingliu Mountain, resembling a Daoist, remained calm and silent, just giving Liu Changfei an indifferent look, obviously not intending to move aside.

Black Tiger Elder also stared closely at Liu Changfei and said indifferently, "You like to play tricks, now who can you blame?"

In fact, the death of Liu Yu had made them realize Ye Xuan’s capabilities and also brought them back to their senses.

This Ye Xuan was not so easy to fool.

They must take this black-robed youth seriously, or else they would be the ones to suffer later!

Moreover, the death of Liu Yu was, in a way, a blessing in disguise for them.

Liu Yu was the Saint Heir of Purple Flame Mountain with strong abilities among the younger generation. Sometimes conflicts between their sects led to several disciples dying at Liu Yu’s hands.

Now that Liu Yu was dead by Ye Xuan’s hand, it was also a good thing for them.

"Fine! Fine! Fine!" Liu Changfei was infuriated but knew that with his own strength, dealing with Black Tiger Elder and the other two was nearly impossible.

"We’ll settle this another time!"

Liu Changfei decided to retreat for the time being, planning to avenge today’s grudge another day!

"Kill him." At that moment, Ye Xuan slowly spoke, his gaze landing on Qu Zhongyuan, he said calmly: "You need to take action too."

Upon hearing this, Black Tiger Elder and the others inwardly cursed.

This sly fox was too cunning indeed.

Was he using them to get rid of Liu Changfei?

And if they didn’t take action, their own people would be threatened.

Thinking about it made them feel incredibly aggrieved.

Who would have thought that after becoming overlords of their domain, they could be threatened by a young lad.

It made them feel both angry and amused.

It was Qu Zhongyuan who, after hearing Ye Xuan’s words, remained composed, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

At that moment, Qu Zhongyuan felt that what Ruan Mengyue had said was indeed very reasonable.

This guy was not only a lunatic but also a cunning lunatic with courage and strategy.

He didn’t even need to take action himself to eliminate his adversaries.

Such tactics, to be used so skillfully by a youth, were truly extraordinary.

Qu Zhongyuan couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for such talent.

If a person like this could join the Red Sparrow Institute, there would certainly be a formidable figure rising within its ranks in the future.

If such a person were an enemy, they would be terrifying.

But if they were one of our own, they would be immensely reassuring.

While his thoughts were rapidly turning, Qu Zhongyuan didn’t idle around, and he immediately blocked Liu Changfei’s path, smiling and saying, "Fellow Daoist, I’ll need to borrow your life."

Liu Changfei’s expression changed completely.

He was no match for the combined efforts of the three Black Tiger Elders; now, with the addition of an even stronger Qu Zhongyuan, what could he possibly fight with?

Qu Zhongyuan’s words infuriated Liu Changfei beyond measure.

"The Red Sparrow Institute is a reputed righteous sect of the East Desolation Great Domain. Today, will you also consort with heretical forces and slay your fellow Daoists?!"

Liu Changfei roared angrily.

Qu Zhongyuan remained calm, with a faint smile, he said, "You jest, Fellow Daoist. As a mere insignificant being, how could my actions possibly represent the entire Red Sparrow Institute?"

As he spoke, Qu Zhongyuan took a step forward.

"Fellow Daoist,"

"Please embrace death!"

Qu Zhongyuan stretched forth his right hand, his mouth uttering the Heavenly Constitution.

Boom!

In the next instant, Liu Changfei’s face contorted, as if a massive turmoil erupted within him, driving him to extreme agony.

"Red Sparrow Institute... the ’One Word, Slay’ technique!"

Bang!

At the next moment, Liu Changfei’s body exploded into pieces.

He died a grisly death without a complete corpse!

"Hiss!"

The sight made the Black Tiger Elders and others sharply inhale in shock.

This Qu Zhongyuan was too powerful, killing Liu Changfei with a single word.

One must know that Liu Changfei was a truly powerful Elder within Purple Flame Mountain.

His strength was not the least bit inferior to theirs.

Yet such an existence couldn’t withstand a single word from Qu Zhongyuan!

This made them silently marvel.

After all, he was a big shot from the Red Sparrow Institute. They couldn’t hold a candle to such strength.

Formidably terrifying!

The ’One Word, Slay’ technique of the Red Sparrow Institute.

It was renowned throughout the East Desolation Great Domain, said to be a legacy of the founder of the Institute, the Red Sparrow Fairy.

Witnessing it today proved its terrifying power!

But!

What frightened them even more was Ye Xuan.

This guy was not going to have Qu Zhongyuan deal with them too, was he?

They couldn’t help but turn to look at Ye Xuan, saying, "Ye Xuan, now that the traitor Liu Changfei is dead, can we discuss our deal?"

Ye Xuan didn’t look at them, but instead at Qu Zhongyuan, somewhat surprised.

One Word, Slay technique?

In truth, there was no such technique; it was just a myth.

This so-called ’One Word, Slay’ technique simply stemmed from that old saying in the Cultivation World: "Better for a Daoist friend to die than for oneself."

Back when Ye Xuan and the Red Sparrow Fairy had been together, they were sold out by a bunch of pig teammates.

Surprisingly, Ye Xuan turned the tables with a "Better for a Daoist friend to die than for oneself," taking the Red Sparrow Fairy and slipping away.

It was then that the Red Sparrow Fairy remembered the saying and created this so-called ’One Word, Slay’ technique.

"Ye Xuan, are you satisfied?" Qu Zhongyuan said with a slight smile.

One Word, Slay — nonchalant and as casual as ever, still embodying the elegant and affable demeanor.

This was the true art of killing without batting an eyelid.

Indeed impressive, a man of true mettle!

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, casually casting a glance at the three Black Tiger Elders.

This casual glance, however, caused the Black Tiger Elders to shudder, breaking out in cold sweat as they swiftly brought out their Storage Rings, quickly saying, "Ye Xuan, we are not like Liu Changfei. We have prepared everything..."
