Himmlischer König

Kapitel 15

On the jade ground, two people covered in blood knelt.

Tang Ze, the lord of Tang Family Fortress in Sichuan, and his men, including a lean man whose eyes still shone brightly despite his severe injuries.

Ye Chuhan leaned back on the soft couch, a faint smile in her slender eyes. She silently played with the priceless Bloodthirsty Bead with her smooth fingers, her white robes shining brightly.

He saw Lianhua walk in, smiled slightly, and reached out his hand to invite her closer. For the past three years, Lianhua had been standing guard beside the sect leader, Ye Chuhan, in this main hall.

"The person who hurt you, it must be this old man Tang Ze, right?" He looked at her with a smile, his face as handsome as jade, his tone gentle.

Before Lianhua could speak, Tang Ze, the lord of Tangjiabao, who had been lying on the ground covered in wounds, suddenly sprang up with all his might, his face covered in blood and his eyes filled with fury.

"So what if I'm injured?! This little vixen is so ruthless, Ye Chuhan, you monster, you'll get yourself caught in her trap sooner or later and die at her hands—"

Even facing certain death, they remain so arrogant!

Ye Chuhan gave a cold laugh and said calmly, "Well said!!"

Inside the main hall, only Ye Chuhan's voice could be heard. It was like the sound of jade, revealing a fierce and ruthless aura. With just a slight movement of his fingers, the blood-red bead flew out from between his fingers and flew straight towards the Tang Family Fortress Master, quickly sticking to the wound on Tang Ze's face.

Upon contact with the wound on Tang Ze's face, the Bloodthirsty Bead seemed to come alive, starting to spin rapidly, with a surge of red light and blood energy emanating from within.

The Blood-Devouring Bead of the Demonic Cult devours blood upon contact with it, never stopping until it has drained the last drop of blood.

Throughout the main hall, the piercing screams of Tang Ze, the lord of Tangjiabao, were heart-wrenching. His whole body stiffened, his eyes widened, and finally he lay stiffly on the ground.

The Bloodthirsty Bead shone brightly and with a whoosh, it returned to Ye Chuhan's hand once again.

The lean man who had been kneeling beside the fortress lord finally showed fear, keeping his distance from the fortress lord's cold corpse, and trembling as he almost fell to the ground.

The entire hall was filled with people who all changed color.

Such a cruel method of murder could only be done by Ye Chuhan, the leader of the Tianshan Snow Sect.

I said—

Ye Chuhan actually smiled as he looked at Lianhua's slightly pale face, still gently toying with the deadly Bloodthirsty Bead, "I will make those who hurt you pay a thousandfold, ten thousandfold."

Lotus was taken aback.

A frightened voice suddenly came from below the steps.

"I am willing to submit to the Snow Clan of Tianshan and will serve the Snow Clan with all my heart and soul. From now on, I will have no other thoughts!" The lean man lay on the ground, desperately expressing his loyalty.

He was so terrified because he didn't want to die.

Ye Chuhan chuckled, "Aren't you from the Tang Clan of Sichuan? You've submitted to me so quickly?"

“I’m not a member of the Tang Clan of Sichuan, I’m just someone who’s mixed in with them,” the lean man raised his head and smiled obsequiously. “Several years ago, I also had dealings with the Tianshan Snow Clan. My true identity is the second-in-command of the Blood Shadow Four Fiends.”

His face was contorted with a smile as he tried his best to get close to him.

However.

Lotus, who was standing next to Ye Chuhan, suddenly turned pale and stared wide-eyed at the lean man kneeling on the ground. Anger instantly condensed into a sharp killing intent in her eyes.

She stared intently at the person, "Who do you say you are—"

The lean man, however, seemed to have found a new lease on life and laughed excitedly, "I am the second-in-command of the Blood Shadow Four Fiends. We four brothers were once famous throughout the martial arts world..."

He didn't finish his sentence, and he never had the chance to say it again.

In an instant, the silver whip tightened around his neck. Lotus held the other end of the whip, her long black hair dancing in the wind, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Do you know who I am?

"you……"

The lean man's eyes bulged as he was strangled, unable to utter a single word. He only felt the silver whip tightening more and more, almost breaking his neck.

Tears welled in Lotus's eyes, and her voice sounded as if it were being ground out from between her teeth, "Eight years ago, at the lotus pond in the countryside, do you still remember that little girl you beat to the point of near death?!"

The gaunt man's face was ashen, like a dead fish, his body stiff. "...You...you..."

His whole body suddenly relaxed, and he was already dead.

The entire audience in the main hall was astonished.

Lianhua actually dared to kill someone in front of Ye Chuhan, especially before Ye Chuhan had given the order to execute this person.

Lotus withdrew her silver whip, turned to face Ye Chuhan, and knelt on one knee, her eyes calm. "Lotus acted without authorization. Please punish me, Sect Master."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a cold wind blow from behind her.

That was the sound of a hidden weapon striking.

The skinny man is still alive!!

Turning to face Ye Chuhan's lotus flower, the vulnerable area behind her was completely exposed to the hidden weapon, offering no protection whatsoever.

Ye Chuhan's sharp eyes suddenly widened, and the Bloodthirsty Bead was about to burst forth from between his slender fingers, but he forcibly stopped it in an instant.

A streak of cyan light flashed across the main hall like a bolt of lightning.

A fierce killing intent surged forth from the sharp blade like a blue dragon. With a clang, the hidden weapon clashed with the Azure Nether Sword. Immediately afterward, a muffled sound followed as the sword pierced the chest of the person who had launched the hidden weapon.
