Chapter 498 – The Southern King? (2/2)

The group stopped around 30m in front of Yang Ye, and all of their gazes locked onto Yang Ye while the man who led the point pointed his spear at Yang Ye as he said, “You’re the Sword Emperor, Yang Ye?”

“Yes!” said Yang Ye while he madly absorbed the energy within the extreme-grade energy stone in the pocket near his chest.

The man said, “The Mortal Emperor ordered that if you, Yang Ye, are willing to submit to the Mortal Emperor and hand over those treasures which the Mortal Emperor needs, then the Mortal Emperor is willing to spare you life and make you a Grand Commander of the Souleater Corps! Once the southern territory is subdued, the Mortal Emperor will further confer the t.i.tle of Southern King to you. If you don’t submit, then today will be the day of your death!”

“The Southern King?” Yang Ye laughed with ridicule. How generous of him. The moment the southern territory is subdued will probably be the day that I die. Even though he wasn’t someone that dabbled in politics, he understood the principle of how the bow would be made into firewood once all the game had been caught. Moreover, perhaps he would even die before the southern territory was even subdued. Because even he wouldn’t keep someone capable of threatening him by his side!

“Looks like you’re unwilling to submit!” The man’s gaze gradually turned icy cold.

“You’re right!” Yang Ye suddenly stomped his right foot on the ground and relied on the counterforce to pounce forward like a cheetah and instantly arrive in the air above the man. After that, Dragonbone left a string of afterimages behind and emanated a dazzling glow as it slashed down towards the man.

His expression changed a little, and he was just about to attack when a red glow suddenly enveloped him!

Sword Intent! The spear-wielding man’s expression changed drastically. However, he’d still forcefully resisted the suppression of Yang Ye’s Sword Intent and moved his spear horizontally to block Yang Ye’s attack.

Clang!

The spear curved to the point it seemed like a bow while the windbreaker horse beneath him was crushed to death on the spot while its limbs had sunk into the ground.

Meanwhile, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the sword chest on Yang Ye’s back, and it shot towards like a bolt of lightning towards the spear-wielding man. The latter’s pupils constricted when he saw this, and he swiftly stomped on the corpse of the windbreaker horse and relied on the counterforce to retreat. At the same time, the spear in his hand swept swiftly towards the Dao Artifact before him.

Clang!

The spear in his hand was slashed into two. The man’s face turned gloomy while his figure flashed to the side, and he’d successfully prevented the sword from piercing a vital part of his body. It merely pierced through his shoulder!

The spear-wielding man gazed at Yang Ye with shock. He hadn’t expected that a third rank Spirit Realm profounder would actually possess such formidable strength that almost killed him! He fully stopped underestimating Yang Ye, and he waved his right hand and ordered the cavalry in the surroundings to encircle Yang Ye at their center.

A wisp of surprise flashed through Yang Ye’s eyes because this fellow’s strength was really not bad. It was much stronger than those two Exalt Realm experts from before. So, Yang Ye instantly had a decision when he thought of that. After all, wasn’t he a good candidate to become a Sword Servant?

“Kill!” Meanwhile, the spear-wielding man had ordered in a cold tone.

Meanwhile, Yang Ye stomped the ground with his right foot and activated his Sword Domain, causing a formidable force to instantly envelop everyone within an area of 30m around him. Everyone enveloped by it was horrified. A sword flashed out from the sword chest on Yang Ye’s back, and then it transformed into a ray of light that flashed madly through the Sword Domain.

When the ray of light dispersed , another 300 plus corpses were lying on the ground.

The spear-wielding man and the remaining profounders gazed at Yang Ye with astonishment, and their eyes were filled with terror. He killed over 300 King Realm profounders in an instant! Exactly what sort of monster is he?

“AH!!!” Suddenly, one of the cavalry shouted, turned around, and fled. After that, a second, a third…. In just a short while, a few dozen had fled. However, they hadn’t been able to flee successfully because the spear-wielding man had attacked and annihilated all who dared to flee!

“Those who flee before battle will be killed!” The spear-wielding man pulled his spear out from the chest of a member of the cavalry before he gazed at Yang Ye. At this moment, Yang Ye vanished on the spot, and it caused his pupils to constrict violently, and then a sword pierced through his chest. The color in his eyes gradually vanished, and his eyes were filled with shock even until the moment he took his last breath!

After Yang Ye killed the spear-wielding man with a single stab through the chest, the Pearl of Baleful Blood flickered over to the spear-wielding man. It was just about to absorb his blood when Yang Ye slapped the pearl away and said, “That’s not for you!” As soon as he finished speaking, he placed the spear-wielding man’s corpse in the s.p.a.ce within the ancient sheath.

After that, Yang Ye turned around and gazed at the 100 plus cavalries that remained, and then a ruthless expression flashed through his light while a ray of light shot into the sky from his sword….

In next to no time, over 100 fresh corpses were lying at the entrance to Needless City.

On the other hand, the Pearl of Baleful Blood suddenly emanated a wave of red light that enveloped Yang Ye when it finished absorbing the blood of the last cavalry, and then Yang Ye’s expression changed drastically!
