21 The Monarch Holds His Sword! (1/2)
The two guards were pissed. However, they felt extremely pressured under Ye Xiao's unyielding gaze! They wanted to curse and scream, yet under his gaze, their voices never managed to leave their throats!
To them, Ye Xiao seemed to be a god from the heavens. They felt that he was invincible!
After a prolonged period of silence, they finally caved in and shouted out in panic,”Ye Xiao you fool! You dare to speak with such arrogance while standing on death's doorstep!”
Ye Xiao nodded and smiled gently, ”Well, well, well, then could you please send me to my death?”
Meanwhile, a completely out of breath Mu Chengbai finally managed to catch up with these three. His eyes turned red out of anger when he caught sight of Ye Xiao, and he yelled his orders to the guards, ”What in the bloody hell are you waiting for? Go kill him!”
The guards could no longer stand the stress from this stand off, so after receiving the order from their master, they immediately decided to take the initiative. If they didn't make any actions soon, they would certainly go insane. Therefore, they shouted in unison and swung their bright steel swords!
Ye Xiao laughed, casually stepped forward while facing the swords and said, ”Never speak of the hardships in life. It doesn't take a thousand bottles of wine to relieve your sorrow. It is your destiny that we have met in this narrow path. With my laughter, you will be sent to your death.”
The swords began to emit flashing rays of sword lights after being infused with the guards' spiritual qi.
The guards had obviously gone all out with these attacks as they had felt a life-and-death crisis originating from Ye Xiao's smile. Every inch of his smile gave them an ominous sense of death!
But even after going all out, they continued to feel intimidated!
Ye Xiao slightly spun around while smiling, barely managing to slip away from the two attacking swords. Whoops!
One of his fair and delicate hands hit the wrist of a guard!
His actions had seemed so slow, to the point where even an ordinary person would have been able to follow the movement of his arm as he attacked.
However, the guard remained absolutely powerless to defend against it!
While the guard was screaming, he lost his grip on his sword which still shining brightly as it continued on its path.
It almost managed to slash Ye Xiao's hand!
Ye Xiao used one hand to stop the blade and tossed it to his other hand. Afterwards, he used this newly acquired weapon to attack the guards. A sword light burst out, causing the sword slash to look like a galaxy of stars in the night sky.
He looked like a master calligrapher; a hand folded behind his back and gripping a brush pen, while the other hand used to write on a snow white paper.
It was both elegant and fascinating.
The sword flashed, and the observers could only see a streak of light illuminating the path travelled by the sword! But the two guards who were fighting against it showed horror-struck expressions!
Moreover, they felt admiration towards a foe who was skilled to such a degree!
They worshipped his talent deep within their hearts. It felt like a paramount god from the heavens was smiting them! The slashing sword seemed to represent the will of heaven and hell!
It was inviolable and overwhelming!
They felt like that it was their destiny to die under this sword!
While the sword lights were quickly losing their splendor, blood sprayed out of the guards' body and painted the sky, trees and ground red.
The murderous expression that had been on the guards' faces had been replaced by the fearful looks - like they had desecrated a god. Then they slowly fell down on the floor.
PUFF! When their bodies hit the ground, a small cloud of dust to rose from the ground.
...
The swordplay that Ye Xiao used was 'The Monarch's Sword' that he depended on to rule the Qing-Yun Realm!
The Monarch holds the sword and he takes away all lives! Thousands of dead bodies fall! Beacons are lit for millions of miles! The sword of the Monarch kills with absolute certainty! It rarely shows up but it will kill when it does!
There was no one who had survived after facing The Monarch's Sword.
...
A single sword strike had actually caused two instantaneous deaths!
Mu Chengbai's eyes were wide opened as he was utterly shocked. He looked at Ye Xiao and felt that his heart had suddenly stopped beating!
At this moment, he wasn't thinking of slipping away nor was he feeling frightened! He felt endless astonishment and bursting rage!
[Didn't Wang Xiaonian say... that this Ye Xiao was just a foppish idiot and was even too weak to hold a chicken? How come... he possesses such superior martial skills? He actually easily killed my two guards who were both at the Mortal Origin Stage with one strike of his sword! How could a foppish idiot ever do this? Are you kidding me? Wang Xiaonian, you are trying to get me killed, aren't you?] A lot of thoughts kept spinning inside Mu Chengbai's head.
At this moment, the thing he wanted to do the most was to find Wang Xiaonian and rip him to shreds! Though he was convinced that even by doing that, his anger wouldn't be relieved!
Ye Xiao held the sword with only two fingers and casually looked at the blood dripping down along the edge of the blade. He then looked straight at Mu Chengbai and spoke, ”You've had a rough day.”
Mu Chengbai started panting and felt a chilling coldness in his heart. He couldn't even utter a single word.
Ye Xiao shook his head and sighed, ”This...This is my first time killing in this life.”
He stopped and slowly shook his head before continuing, ”I didn't expect the first time would come this soon.”
Mu Chengbai said hoarsely, ”Soon?”
Ye Xiao smiled and explained patiently, ”Yes, you are right. I didn't expect that I would start this kind of life again this soon...” One could see an extreme yearning and desire being born deep within his eyes.
Mu Chengbai felt a deep sense of fear when he saw the yearning and desire in Ye Xiao's eyes.
Ye Xiao smiled and spoke gently, ”You must be exhausted after chasing me all this way, but isn't living as long as you have done much more exhausting?”
