Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

「Three days later.」

Ye Wushuang left the City Lord’s Mansion!

He had already found the Holy Medicine to treat his master’s Daoist injuries, and the Spirit Core’s energy was fully replenished. With his father now found, the next step was to activate the War Fortress!

But before that, he had to settle the matter of the marriage proposal.

Once that was done, he would return to the Endless Wilderness. It was time to settle some old scores.

”Shuang’er, a new age is dawning. This time is different—it’s not just the Grand Emperor Domain in turmoil; the Nine Heavens Domain is caught up in it as well!”

”Peerless demon fiends and figures of immense power are emerging one after another, wielding world-shaking abilities!”

”Especially the Celestial Dome of the Grand Emperor Domain. It is the Realm of Heaven itself. The People of Celestial Dome within it are of a bloodline forged by heaven, and every one of them is incomparably powerful. They act as heaven’s proxies. Now that you have defied heaven, they will not spare you. You cannot afford to be careless, do you understand?”

Ye Xuan warned.

”Father, I will be careful. Just give me some time, and I will annihilate the Celestial Dome and slay that so-called noble heaven!”

Ye Wushuang’s eyes gleamed, brimming with confidence!

’The War Fortress is my chance. Once I activate it, I will surely spread the flames of war all the way to the Celestial Dome!’

”Good! Before, I was powerless and couldn’t protect you on your path. But now, as the City Lord, I have some power of my own. I am willing to fight to buy you that time.”

”Go do whatever you must. I will always have your back!”

Ye Xuan’s gaze sharpened as he looked up at the sky. ’So what if it’s heaven? If it dares stand in our way, we’ll tear off a piece of it!’

Ye Wushuang looked up as well, his gaze just as resolute.

’No one could take this family from him. If heaven wanted to destroy the world, to destroy his loved ones, then he would destroy heaven itself!’

RUMBLE!

After standing there for a long time, Ye Wushuang strode into the void and departed.

There were no sentimental farewells between father and son. Ye Xuan understood Ye Wushuang’s destiny, and so he did not try to stop him.

Watching the departing figure, he turned, his expression fierce, and roared, ”From this moment on, if any powerhouse from the Celestial Dome dares to make a move—kill them!”

”Let’s go.”

Arriving at the gates of Sinful City, Ye Wushuang glanced back at the City Lord’s Mansion and called out to his companions.

With that, the group walked out of Sinful City.

However, they had not gone far before a group of figures appeared, blocking their path.

”We’ve waited here for you for three days. You’re finally out.”

A familiar voice rang out.

It was Fang Jie.

Beside him stood General Chen, a Third Layer Profound Level cultivator, along with a number of soldiers from the City Defense Army!

”So I’m out. What of it?” Ye Wushuang said, his eyes cold. He wasn’t surprised; he had already suspected they would try something like this.

”What do we want? The lives of all five of you!”

General Chen sneered and spat out a single, icy word: ”Kill!”

With a single wave of his hand, a troop from the City Defense Army charged at Ye Wushuang, and an overwhelming wave of energy surged toward him.

CLANG!

In a flash, Ye Wushuang drew his sword. The Heavenly Sword Technique erupted, felling several men in an instant.

At the same time, he took a single step and vanished into the void.

His figure moved like a ghost, weaving through the crowd. The bodies of the City Defense Army soldiers suddenly went rigid as flashes of Life-Taking Light bloomed in the air!

Fang Jie and General Chen’s eyes narrowed. They could only watch as lines of blood suddenly appeared on the necks of the City Defense Army soldiers!

The light in their eyes vanished!

RUMBLE!

Instantly, all the soldiers of the City Defense Army collapsed to the ground, their throats all slit by a single sword strike!

And there stood Ye Wushuang, holding his Ancient Sword. Not a single drop of blood stained its blade, which emanated a chilling light that sent shivers down the spine!

”And now, what will you do?”

Ye Wushuang stared coldly at Fang Jie.

Fang Jie and General Chen’s pupils contracted in utter shock. The City Defense Army soldiers were no weaklings; every one of them possessed Rebirth Level strength.

And yet, they were all annihilated before they could even make a move!

’A single strike to the throat... Such a fast sword!’

Their eyes twitched in fear, but they quickly recovered. Instead of fear, a cold sneer appeared on their faces.

”Good. Very good. To kill soldiers of the Sinful City’s City Defense Army... you truly have some nerve!”

A cold sneer appeared on Fang Jie’s insidious face as he brazenly leveled an accusation against Ye Wushuang.

”If someone tries to kill me, I kill them. It’s only natural. Or am I not allowed to kill members of the City Defense Army?”

Ye Wushuang scoffed.

”Killing soldiers of the City Defense Army is tantamount to making an enemy of Sinful City! And we show no mercy to our enemies! As the City Defense Commander, how can I tolerate an arrogant whelp like you offending the dignity of Sinful City!”

A figure stepped out of the void, exuding the terrifying aura of the Nirvana Realm. His Divine Soul Power locked onto Ye Wushuang.

This person was none other than Fang Yuan.

At this moment, Ye Wushuang understood perfectly. Fang Jie had pinned a crime on him merely to give his father, Fang Yuan, an excuse to intervene and kill him!

”Brat, accept your death!”

Fang Yuan declared coldly. With a flicker of his Divine Soul, a massive claw materialized in the air above Ye Wushuang.

This made Fang Jie laugh.

But the smile vanished from his face as quickly as it had appeared.

RUMBLE!

From within Sinful City, a massive claw shot out and seized Fang Yuan’s body. Even a Nirvana Powerhouse like Fang Yuan had no time to react.

”City Lord!” Fang Yuan cried in terror, ”I am merely executing a criminal who has offended Sinful City!” He knew exactly where that hand had come from.

”A criminal?” a majestic, furious voice boomed from the void. ”He is my son. And you want to execute him?”

RUMBLE!

The giant claw suddenly retracted, dragging Fang Yuan’s body back with it and vanishing into the sky.

The color drained from Fang Jie and General Chen’s faces. They both stared at Ye Wushuang. ’The City Lord’s son!’

”You... How can you be the City Lord’s son?!”

Fang Jie was on the verge of a mental collapse. He had schemed against the City Lord’s son, confident that his father, Fang Yuan, could kill Ye Wushuang with ease.

But... Ye Wushuang was the City Lord’s son!

SWISH!

Before he could even process it, a flash of Sword Light filled his vision. In the next instant, Fang Jie’s head hit the ground.

”Schemes and plots are useless in the face of true power,” Ye Wushuang said coldly. ”Weakness is weakness. The outcome was never going to change.”

He then turned to General Chen.

At that moment, General Chen was kneeling on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. ’I should just slap myself a few times!’ he thought.

”Young Master!” General Chen begged, ”I was blind and failed to recognize your eminence! I have offended you, Young Master, please spare my life!”

General Chen begged relentlessly, not even pausing to wonder when the City Lord had gained a son. All he wanted now was for Ye Wushuang to spare him.

Otherwise, he stood no chance of survival!

”You made your choice, now you must pay the price!”

A look of intense disdain flashed in Ye Wushuang’s eyes. If his opponent had fought to the death with honor, he might have held him in some regard.

But he had chosen to kneel.

Ye Wushuang couldn’t be bothered with any more words. With a CLANG, he drew his sword and cut down General Chen!

Meanwhile, in the City Lord’s Mansion, Fang Yuan trembled as he knelt at Ye Xuan’s feet.

”City Lord, I didn’t know he was your son! I beg you, spare my life! I will repent, I swear it!”

Fang Yuan, his head beaded with sweat, pleaded ceaselessly.

”Take your own life!”

Ye Xuan coldly uttered four words, causing Fang Yuan to collapse to the floor as if all the strength had been drained from his body. At that moment, his heart was filled with the bitterest regret.

’He had tried to be clever, only to be undone by his own machinations!’
