Chapter 474: Chapter 221 This is What You Forced Me to Do (Seeking Monthly Votes)

His words fell. Yang Yue didn’t wait for Wang Xiao to reply and continued, "What a pity. Emperor Yue doesn’t recognize his own status and attempts to interfere in the dispute between Great Zhou and Great Qin. He deserves this fate. Today, I will kill you. Then, when my Great Zhou’s army marches north, our iron cavalry will surely trample the lands of Dayue."

"Kill!"

With that, Yang Yue uttered a single word.

A piercing Sword Intent erupted, soaring to the heavens. The Sword Qi shot straight into the clouds, and Heaven and Earth themselves seemed to tremble gently from the force. He was worthy of the title Sword Venerable. In the Sword Dao, he possessed achievements others could not hope to reach. Now, the moment he attacked, his momentum was earth-shattering.

Sensing that destructive Sword Intent, Wang Xiao’s expression grew solemn. He threw a punch, and an unparalleled, iron-blooded fist intent erupted like a volcano. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

BOOM!!

The collision of the two forces caused the Sun and Moon to lose their light. Yang Yue’s body trembled slightly as he dissipated all the impacting forces. His footsteps were neither quick nor slow, yet his figure moved with ghostly speed. He wielded his longsword, each thrust seemingly perfectly timed, aimed straight at his opponent’s vital points. His strikes were as fast as lightning—precise and fierce.

"Annihilate!" Wang Xiao roared as his iron fist crushed downward, dispelling all the Sword Qi.

Both were powerhouses at the Grandmaster Ultimate Summit. The moment they attacked, their power could already be called world-shattering. The vast fluctuations were clearly felt within a hundred miles.

As Wang Xiao and Yang Yue fought, the others Yang Yue had brought also sprang into action, attacking the remaining people.

BOOM!

BOOM!!

Terrifying power erupted, each collision like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. The dreadful fluctuations caused the spirits of everyone who sensed it to tremble incessantly, none daring to approach even slightly.

Suddenly, from within that extremely sharp Sword Qi, an intensely cold, extreme Yin power arose. It combined with the Sword Qi to forcefully tear apart the fist’s Gang Qi.

BANG—

The Gang Qi shattered.

For the first time, Wang Xiao retreated a step. When he looked at Yang Yue again, the latter’s face was now covered with Scale Armor, and his eyes had turned a murky green. His already formidable aura, now bolstered by the Yin Evil Aura, grew even stronger, faintly showing signs of surpassing the Grandmaster Ultimate Summit.

"Demonfolk!" Wang Xiao’s expression changed dramatically.

Looking in other directions, he saw that those who had followed Yang Yue had also transformed into Demonfolk, their strength surging dramatically. In that instant, the previously balanced battle immediately began to tip in the other’s favor.

「 」

WHOOSH!

First, a red flare shot through the clouds, followed immediately by the eruption of a powerful Yin Evil Aura.

Inside the Demon-Subduing Division, the expressions of Shen Changqing and Mu Qing changed drastically.

"Such a strong Yin Evil Aura! It’s at least at the level of a mid-tier Demon Evil!" Mu Qing’s expression was extremely solemn.

The Yin Evil Aura was so potent that it made his spirit tremble slightly. A mid-tier Demon Evil was equivalent to a Marquis Rank Defender Envoy. As only a General Rank Defender Envoy himself, there was still a considerable gap when compared to a Marquis Rank Defender Envoy.

Shen Changqing looked in the direction the aura was emanating from. The source was quite far off.

"A mid-tier Demon Evil has appeared. I will go deal with it. Defender Mu, you stay in Mountain-Breaking City. If something truly unstoppable occurs, let Defender Ji handle it."

Having healed in seclusion for so long, Ji Tianlu should be almost fully recovered by now. With a King Rank Defender Envoy present, they could withstand even an attack from a high-tier Demon Evil.

Moreover, Shen Changqing was confident that with his own strength, dealing with a mid-tier Demon Evil wouldn’t take much effort. Besides, he was currently lacking Spiritual Power and Slaughter Value. The appearance of a mid-tier Demon Evil would be a good opportunity to replenish them.

Without waiting for Mu Qing to respond, Shen Changqing had already left the Demon-Subduing Division.

His aura burst forth fully. He executed the Ascension Step with all his might. A single step took him through layers of air resistance as he charged straight towards the source of the erupting aura.

Seeing this, Mu Qing immediately placed the Demon-Subduing Division on high alert. Even after all arrangements were made, his expression remained tense.

Has the Demon Evil Clan gone mad? Daring to send a mid-tier Demon Evil at this time? Are they truly not afraid of them all perishing in the South Nether Prefecture? A mid-tier Demon Evil is strong, yes, but they shouldn’t forget that the South Nether Prefecture’s Demon-Subduing Division also has a Great Grandmaster. No matter how strong a mid-tier Demon Evil is, it would only be courting death before a Great Grandmaster. Mu Qing simply couldn’t fathom the Demon Evil Clan’s intentions.

Regardless, placing the entire city on high alert was essential now. He sighed helplessly. "I thought the period before the auction was problematic enough, but I didn’t expect things to get even more serious after it ended."

However, Mu Qing didn’t dwell on it. They would meet soldiers with generals and block water with earth. The Mountain-Breaking City’s Demon-Subduing Division was no pushover; if the Demon Evils dared to come, they would kill as many as showed up.

「 」

BOOM—

Sword Qi tore through the sky. The chilling aura, combined with the incomparably sharp Sword Qi, could accurately be described as world-destroying; it was no exaggeration.

At the center of the sweeping Sword Qi, Wang Xiao’s heart was heavy with gravity. His clothes were already somewhat torn, and sword marks adorned his body. Although the wounds were healing, the scars could not yet be erased.

A punch thundered out. The Gang Qi of the fist blasted the air, forcibly scattering the oncoming Sword Qi. The unceasing shockwaves made Wang Xiao’s flesh tremble.

"Wang Xiao, after today, Dayue will no longer have a figure like you!" Yang Yue declared, holding a sword in one hand, his aura surging to the heavens, like a Peerless Demon God.

He himself was already extremely powerful, and now, having drawn upon the power of the Demon Evil Clan, their combined strength had reached a terrifying level. Even a Grandmaster at the Ultimate Summit would find it difficult to withstand him.

As he spoke, Yang Yue’s longsword slashed down. Its Sword Qi crashed down like a torrential river, threatening to completely submerge his opponent.

"You want to kill me? You’re not worthy!" Wang Xiao roared.

He bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of Essence Blood surged forth. Instead of waning in the slightest, his aura, as if nourished by something, instantly climbed to a terrifying new height. At that moment, his fist intent pierced the nine heavens. An unmatched, iron-blooded aura emanated from him, like that of an invincible iron cavalry.

Facing the Sword Qi that crashed down, Wang Xiao’s aura was formidable, his face showing not a trace of fear.

"I’ve slain countless Demon Evils in my life! A Demonfolk mongrel like you thinks you can kill me?"

"You—"

"Are not worthy!"

As his words fell, he launched a world-shaking punch. That punch was Wang Xiao’s strongest, delivered with all his peak power. With his essence, qi, and spirit coalesced, a single punch carried the force to topple the heavens. The terrifying power that erupted could blast a mountain before him to smithereens.

BOOM!!!

The two mighty forces collided fiercely. A massive rumbling echoed from Heaven and Earth as surging qi waves swept out in all directions. Instantly, a cloud of dust and sand swirled into the air. When the dust finally settled, the figures of the two men became visible.

Yang Yue stood with his longsword propped on the ground, much of his Scale Armor shattered, his emerald green eyes filled with shock. As for Wang Xiao, his once-peak aura had dwindled significantly. Yet even so, his expression remained unchanged.

"Impossible! How can your strength be this great?!" Yang Yue shook his head in disbelief.

Though both were at the Grandmaster Ultimate Summit, the strength Wang Xiao displayed was far beyond what he himself could achieve without borrowing the power of the Demon Evils. Back in Great Zhou, he had heard of Wang Xiao’s name. At that time, Yang Yue had been quite disdainful.

Even when he received the order to head to South Nether Prefecture to intercept Wang Xiao, he hadn’t been the least bit worried. In his view, no matter how strong Wang Xiao was, he couldn’t possibly be his match. As long as he used the power granted by the Demon Evil Clan, killing Wang Xiao was merely a matter of time. Only now did Yang Yue suddenly realize he had underestimated his opponent.

Such strength... Even if I borrowed the methods of the Demon Evil Clan, it would be very difficult to kill him.

Faced with Yang Yue’s disbelief, Wang Xiao forcefully wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his tiger-like eyes filled with killing intent and disdain. "I was right, wasn’t I? A mongrel like you trying to kill me? Go back and cultivate bitterly for another eight hundred years!"

With Wang Xiao calling him a "mongrel" left and right, even with Yang Yue’s usually composed mentality, he couldn’t help but feel his anger surge.

"Wang Xiao, do you really think I have no way to kill you? You’ve forced my hand!"

He took a black stone from his robes.

Upon seeing the stone, Wang Xiao sensed an ominous aura from it, as if the black stone itself were some terrifying entity.

Just then, a formidable aura approached at extreme speed. Sensing this aura, the expressions of both Wang Xiao and Yang Yue changed—Wang Xiao’s face lit up with joy, while Yang Yue’s turned grim.

They knew very well that in South Nether Prefecture, only two people possessed such a formidable aura. One was Shimohe. However, Shimohe was currently in seclusion with the Heaven Alliance, which was too far away for him to possibly appear at this moment. Thus, only one other possibility remained.

"Defender Shen is on his way! It seems your chances are up!" Wang Xiao laughed.

When Yang Yue took out the black stone, Wang Xiao knew it was his opponent’s greatest trump card. However, since Yang Yue hadn’t used it immediately, it indicated that activating this trump card required paying a hefty price. If Yang Yue were to truly use that trump card, Wang Xiao wasn’t confident he could withstand it.

Because of this, he had already prepared for the worst. He hadn’t expected Shen Changqing to arrive at this very moment. With a Great Grandmaster present, even if his opponent had some powerful trump card, it would be impossible for it to be effective. Therefore, Wang Xiao could finally relax.

A ruthless look appeared on Yang Yue’s face. "Today, even if Shen Changqing comes, you will still die!"

After saying that, he sliced open the palm holding the black stone. A large amount of blood gushed out and was absorbed by the black stone. In a short time, the black stone turned blood-red. Yang Yue’s face became deathly pale, and his aura completely dwindled.

Without wasting any time, he forcefully crushed the stone in his hand.

BOOM—

The Great Sun seemed to vanish, and Heaven and Earth were instantly plunged into darkness. A terrifying phantom coalesced in the void. Its crimson gaze fell upon Wang Xiao, striking great terror into the heart of this Grandmaster Ultimate Summit powerhouse.
