The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO-Chapter 1115 - 1095: Dead Heart and Ashes

Ye Huan's face was expressionless; he did not immediately kill Kui Xinghe. His intuition told him that things were not that simple.

Just as he was about to continue interrogating Kui Xinghe, a venomous look flashed in Kui Xinghe's eyes. With a "swish," he raised his right hand, which hid behind him a sharp switchblade, and fiercely stabbed it toward Ye Huan's head!

"Careful!" Several women screamed, their faces turning deathly pale!

Ye Huan's gaze instantly chilled. With a gust of wind accompanying his fingers, he intercepted the blade between them, preventing it from advancing even a fraction, and swiftly countered with a hand chop, shattering the wrist bone of Kui Xinghe!

The wrist bone shattered, Kui Xinghe screamed endlessly, unable to hold onto the switchblade any longer!

The switchblade fell to the ground, and Ye Huan seized it instantly, his eyes bursting with extreme killing intent!

"Whoosh!"

A piercing sound of slicing through the air rang out as Ye Huan slit Kui Xinghe's throat with the knife, releasing his grip from his neck and coldly watching him.

Kui Xinghe's eyes turned dull, his dark pupils reflecting his current despair. He held his hands to his throat, from which blood spurted like a fountain, unable to stand, constantly retreating backward.

"You wanted to seize the secret technique; there must be another reason, right?" Ye Huan said expressionlessly, hands tucked in his pockets.

Upon hearing this, Kui Xinghe's figure paused momentarily, sneering with spite and hatred, "You want to know?"

Ye Huan stared at him, but did not respond.

"Let me tell you, it doesn't matter... Because soon, you... you are going to die..."

"You, your wife, your family, everyone in this world will... will die..."

"I once dreamed of reaching higher levels; I don't want to die, I want to live. So I need to seize your secret technique, learn the practice method of Heaven Opening, and then pledge allegiance with Heaven Opening in exchange for a... a chance to live..."

"It's a pity, there's... there's no chance now. This world hasn't reached the apocalypse, and I'm... I'm already going to die..."

"Ye Huan, despite calculating everything, I... I couldn't have anticipated that you'd be this prodigious, mastering your power completely in just three months of advancing to Half-step Divine King..."

"I lost, I died, but I am unwilling..."

Kui Xinghe, using the last of his strength, howled his final words like a ghost and wolf wailing.

It wasn't long before he completely lost consciousness, along with the last trace of strength, his body collapsed limply to the ground.

With a "thud" as he fell, the head of Huaxia's southwest Ancient Martial Realm hit the ground, his life force rapidly dissipating until it was exhausted. He died with his eyes open, his dark pupils filled with despair, regret, and unwillingness.

Ye Huan stood with hands in pockets, gazing at Kui Xinghe's corpse, deep in thought.

Before dying, Kui Xinghe showed a strong desire to survive.

His words about "apocalypse" brought Ye Huan's mind immediately to the "catastrophe" mentioned in the First Emperor's bamboo slips, and the "disaster" spoken by Dog Master.

Ye Huan believed that although these three used different terms, they all spoke of a calamity awaiting the world in the future!

Kui Xinghe seized the secret technique to pledge allegiance, seeking a chance to survive under the apocalypse?

Ye Huan frowned and asked himself, what does this mean?

To pledge allegiance, to whom?

Without thinking, it must be to some individual or faction.

So, someone's orchestrating everything behind the scenes, steering the world toward the abyss?

Most likely, didn't the First Emperor mention in the bamboo slips, say someone is secretly brewing a world-shattering conspiracy?

Then who or what organization is orchestrating this conspiracy?

Ye Huan's face turned somber, naturally thinking of Sequence, this mysterious organization conducting undisclosed experiments secretly, and became strongly suspicious of it!

It seems, a thorough investigation to eliminate Sequence is necessary!

After Kui Xinghe's death, Ye Huan prepared to leave with several women.

A group of ancient martial artists rushed up hurriedly, collectively kneeling before Ye Huan and the women, crying aloud:

"Ye Saint, we are sorry! We shouldn't have disrespected you, shouldn't have attacked you verbally; it's our fault!"

"Please, forgive us just this once!"

"We won't disrespect you ever again!"

The ancient martial artists' tears were full of repentance; their crying had rhythm, and their kowtowing was rhythmic too!

With every word spoken, they would forcefully knock their heads to the ground!

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The sound of the earth trembling echoed continuously, unending.

The foreheads of the Ancient Martial Artists soon had bloody holes from their kowtowing, but their actions did not cease, and the force of their kowtowing did not decline in the slightest.

They were so earnest because they wanted to earn Ye Huan's forgiveness! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

If they couldn't obtain Ye Huan's forgiveness, once their families found out they had offended a Saint, they would surely be furious enough to terminate their lives outright!

They had previously wished fervently for Kuixing River to slay Ye Huan.

But reality slapped them hard; Ye Huan wasn't afraid of Kuixing River. In fact, in terms of martial foundations and skills, he completely crushed Kuixing River, sending him straight to Hell!

The Ancient Martial Artists regretted it to the core. If they had known earlier that Ye Hu'an was the Huaxia Saint, if they had known Ye Hu'an possessed such terrifying strength, they wouldn't have dared to help Ling Yun against Ye Huan even if they were beaten to death!

To please a fake Saint, they targeted the real Saint. This is just too outrageous!

To help Ling Yun, that pretentious person, they might have to lose their lives.

Ling Yun was also filled with intense regret. He was also among the Ancient Martial Artists kowtowing, desperately begging for Ye Huan's forgiveness, carrying a heart full of despair.

His heart was ashen. He originally thought he was the Huaxia Saint and, after the martial examination, could stand over Ye Hu'an and take Ye Hu'an's wife.

Yet the outcome was him becoming a clown scorned by everyone, and Ye Huan's identity as the Huaxia Saint, respected by all, was revealed!

The most crucial point was, he came here with the mission to please the Saint!

Ling Yun was so frustrated he wanted to slap himself a few times. Before coming to Chang'an, he secretly decided that no matter the cost, he would please the Saint to gain endless benefits.

Unexpectedly, before even entering the tomb, he offended the Saint to death right from the ground!

He was stupid enough to mistake the Saint for an Ancient Martial wastrel!

Even a pig's brain wouldn't do such a thing!

If Ye Hu'an was an Ancient Martial wastrel, then everyone present would be a hundred times more of a "wastrel"!

The Ancient Martial Artists were now truly deeply remorseful, and their repentance was from the heart.

Sadly, Ye Huan had no intention of forgiving this group of people.

Not planning to forgive them essentially meant he didn't want to waste time considering these people.

At this moment, Ye Huan held a crystal-clear, dragon-headed jade token in his left hand, squinting slightly and staring at the token for a long time.

This was what he had glimpsed from the corner of his eye near the corpse of Kuixing River on the ground when he planned to detour with several women to leave, a jade token that seemed to have slipped out from Kuixing River's sleeve when he fell.

Ye Huan had seen this jade token on some people before.

He had seen it many times...

He didn't stare at it for long; after a few seconds, he stuffed the token into his pocket, took the girls, and walked into the cave, embarking on the path to begin the expedition to the imperial tomb.

"Saint, please stay, forgive us!!!"

The Ancient Martial Artists cried out loudly, reaching toward Ye Huan's back, but Ye Huan didn't look back at all, leaving them pale with despair.

They knew they had no chance of survival.

Ling Yun, in despair, took out his phone, called the Ling Family's Patriarch, his grandfather, and cried out, "Grandfather, I'm sorry, I offended the Saint, what should I do!"

"..."

After a moment of silence, a cold, deeply voice filled with intense killing intent came from the other end of the phone: "You deserve to die!"

With those three words, the call ended.

Ling Yun understood his grandfather's meaning. Standing up in a daze, he walked to the edge of the platform and, with a heart full of despair and remorse, jumped into the Mercury Lake below, his body quickly dissolving into nothingness by the mercury.

The other Ancient Martial Artists also called their families.

After explaining that they had offended the Saint and being told "You deserve to die" by their families, they, like Ling Yun, stood up in a daze and headed toward the Mercury Lake.

They knew that even if they left the tomb and escaped, they would face a family hunt and eventually die.

With no chance of survival, they might as well die quickly now.

Those Ancient Martial Artists who previously wished for Ye Huan's death, now lined up, jumping one after another into the Mercury Lake.

The scene was almost like a herd of wild boars lining up to jump into the river...
