C31 (1/2)
Swoosh. A lightning sword suddenly smashed through the desolate atmosphere like lightning and landed beside the Profound Emperor. ”This is …” Looking at this familiar item, the Profound Emperor was slightly startled. This was clearly Su Nan's sword, but why was it here?
”Long time no see. Xuan Huang, you look really pathetic like this. I clearly saw a Saint Ruler just now, but why did he disappear in a flash.” A dark shadow flashed past. Su Nan quietly stood on the Thunder Light Sword's hilt.
”Sword Saint?” At this moment, the Black Emperor was at a loss of what to do. He never expected that the protector of the empire, the leader of the three Divine Kings, would appear in front of him.
”Oh, I just happened to pass by this place while I was on my way to complete a mission.” Seemingly seeing through the Emperor's doubts, the Sword Saint lightly smiled and jumped into the air. He drew his Thunder Light Sword and inserted it into the scabbard at his waist.
He leaned his body forward slightly and helped the Profound Emperor up, ”Before the mission, I would like to learn a few things.”
”What is it?” Three of his ribs were broken by the explosion, and the Black Emperor sat down on the ground, enduring the pain.
”Do you still remember that huge fire from fifteen years ago?” the Sword Saint asked calmly.
”I remember, at that time, royal father sent me to the Qi Yuan Palace, and I saw a fire on the road there. In order to prevent royal father from worrying, I ordered my men to take the water to save the fire, and I continued to head towards the Qi Yuan Palace, I thought it was just an ordinary trip into the water, but unexpectedly, the news of the destruction of the Yong Qing Palace came about the next day. All of my men disappeared, I remember that the one who slept in the palace was Lady Xian Fei, but it seems that Xiang Yu died during that fire …”
”Thank you, Your Majesty.” The Sword Saint smiled sinisterly.
”Um, Sword Saint, I don't know what kind of mission you are carrying out, but can you send me back to the palace? I have something important to investigate.” The Profound Emperor had never thought of controlling the Sword Saint, but there was nothing he could do at this time.
”How could I refuse an order from His Majesty? Speak, ”Sword Saint slowly drew out his Thunder Light Sword.” However, this humble subject needs to complete his mission first, otherwise, Lord will be furious. Don't worry, you will be reunited with the Saint Ruler very soon. Sword Saint's face was gloomy.
”What are you doing?”
The Sword Saint suddenly raised his sword and stabbed into the Profound Emperor's chest like a bolt of lightning. Blood gushed out like a broken dam.
”You?”
”This is my mission.” The Sword Saint smiled.
”Why did you take my life? Cough, cough,” Sensing the signs of life slipping away, the Xuan Emperor's eyes grew more and more tired. ”Sword Saint, why did you do this? Cough, cough.”
He subconsciously stroked the blood on the blade of his sword as he said calmly, ”Because at that time, you did not give the order to save the fire, you only said 'go,' that was all.” The Sword Saint was calm, as if he was an old man telling an ancient story, ”If it wasn't for your bored eyes, Xian Fei wouldn't have died. Your subordinates thought that you would never want to see the Forever clear Palace again, so they used 'candle wax' to extinguish the fire, it's really ironic, hahaha!”
”No …” Yes, No... I, I didn't... ”Yes, then …” Yet another mouthful of fresh blood was spat onto the Yellow Sand Battlefield, and yet another generation of emperors walked away with tears in their eyes.
The Sword Saint did not want to hear another word from this person in front of him, so without waiting for the Profound Emperor to finish his last words, he took out his Thunder Light Sword, smiled sinisterly, and said dejectedly, ”Who allowed you to have such a beautiful girl in your prime? ”Xian Fei …”
With his left hand holding the sword and his right hand holding the sky, his loud shout reverberated in the desolate ruins.
… …
”Phew. Phew …” Wang Xiangyu gritted his teeth as he panted heavily. His right hand was bleeding profusely, and his left arm was empty. It was obvious that his arm had been torn off while he was in the middle of tearing space.
”Look at you, you're so weak,” A shadow flashed past Wang Xiangyu, but he was nowhere to be seen, ”Second Brother, quickly give him a treatment. If he's crippled, then drag him out to be fed to the snakes.”
It was a palace made of pure black crystal, with countless gems piled together. One must know that a single black gem was already priceless, not to mention all the other gems added together, it was completely an unspeakable extravagance, as if all the wealth of God had been poured into this crystal palace.
