Himmlischer König

Kapitel 16

Two poisonous caltrops fell to the ground, emitting a dim light.

Zhan Yu pulled the Qingming Sword out of the wiry man's chest, wiped the blood off the sword from the man's lifeless body, his face cold and stern, and sheathed the sword before returning to his seat.

In a swift and decisive move, Lotus was saved from the poisonous thorns in the blink of an eye.

The lotus stood quietly, without moving an inch.

Over the past three years, Zhan Yu and Lian Hua have joined forces to fight against the enemy countless times.

Every time they carried out a mission for the Tianshan Snow Gate, they didn't need to look behind them, because they knew that as long as the other side had a breath left, they would definitely guard all the vital openings behind them.

Amidst the clash of swords and the camaraderie of the martial world, the unspoken understanding between them—a bond forged in life and death—is irreplaceable!

Ye Chuhan slowly leaned back on the soft couch again, her eyes as calm as ever, a smile on her lips. However, she finally gently clenched the blood-red bead, which exuded a chilling aura, as if she had lost all interest in playing with it.

His gaze slowly swept over the faces of Lianhua and Zhanyu.

The hall fell into a deathly silence.

Ye Chuhan suddenly chuckled softly. The smile on her exquisite face was like melting spring snow, capable of making everything in the world lose its color.

"The relationship between the two of you... I truly admire it!"

He turned to Du Heng, casually picked up a teacup from the side, and smiled faintly, "It seems that if I don't help them make a lifelong commitment, the disciples of Tianshan Snow Sect will probably laugh at me, Ye Chuhan, for being so tactless."

Du Heng laughed and chimed in, "Hall Master Zhan is a heroic young man, and Miss Lianhua is no less capable than any man. The two of them are truly a perfect match for the Tianshan Snow Sect. We must help them be together!"

As soon as Du Heng finished speaking, there was a loud "smack"!

Du Heng, the old law enforcement officer who had been away from Xuemen for a long time, was startled and subconsciously turned around. He was shocked to see that the originally intact celadon teacup had been shattered in Ye Chuhan's hands!

The entire hall was filled with shock!

Ye Chuhan crushed the cup into powder in an instant, yet her beautiful face still held a gentle, serene smile!

Lotus calmly faced Ye Chuhan's smiling face, remaining silent.

Zhan Yu sat steadily in the position of the head of Tianxuan Hall, his handsome face showing no fear whatsoever, remaining calm and composed, just like his patient and unperturbed heart that had remained calm in the face of honor and disgrace for so many years!

"It must be done..."

Ye Chuhan softly uttered those words, gazing intently at Zhan Yu and Lianhua below the hall, a beautiful and gentle smile playing on his lips. He casually released his hand, and some fine shards of celadon porcelain fell softly from his grasp.

In the blink of an eye, the celadon cup turned to dust in his hands.

He chuckled even more elegantly, his warm, spring-like gaze sweeping over the two of them, and murmured softly, "It really is... a situation that must be fulfilled."

Section 8

Valley of Flowers.

A plum tree stood beside the hot spring pool, its petals fluttering in the air. A thick layer of petals covered the ground, making a soft rustling sound when stepped on. Ye Chuhan walked slowly forward, with moon-flower butterflies swirling around him, dancing freely...

Zhan Yu and Lian Hua were brought here by him.

"Zhan Yu".

Ye Chuhan slowly stopped, gazing at the fluttering moon butterflies before her. A sharp glint appeared in her narrow eyes, and a meaningful smile played on her lips.

"Come here."

"yes."

Zhan Yu bowed his head and accepted the order. He left Lianhua's side and stepped forward, standing behind Ye Chuhan. However, he had just stood still and had not yet spoken when he felt a strong and cold wind rushing towards his face. Fortunately, he was a veteran of countless battles and had escaped death countless times. In a startle, he quickly flipped backward.

Ye Chuhan suddenly turned around and attacked with her sword!

Lotus, standing behind him, never expected such a dangerous scene to unfold. Her face turned pale with shock, but it was too late to help. She cried out in alarm.

"Zhan Yu—"

A life-or-death moment!

The Azure Jade Sword narrowly missed Zhan Yu's eyes. The chilling, piercing sword energy had already pierced the skin of his cheek, leaving a line of bright red blood. Ye Chuhan, whose martial arts had reached a state of perfection, actually made a fatal move with his first strike.

Zhan Yu, incredibly, narrowly escaped this fatal blow!

"Well done, Master Zhan! It's been a long time since you joined the Tianshan Snow Sect. I really didn't underestimate you!" Ye Chuhan smiled coldly as he watched Zhan Yu narrowly dodge the attack. He held the Ice and Snow Jade in his hand.

"Today, let me spar with Hall Master Zhan and see just how many of my moves you can withstand!"

Zhan Yu was still panting, "Sect Master..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Chuhan moved like a shooting star, his Azure Jade Sword flashing and attacking like a storm. Zhan Yu retreated quickly, his Azure Nether Sword already drawn, parrying Ye Chuhan's fierce sword moves. Ye Chuhan's sword moves were ever-changing, swift and agile, extremely fast in attack and extremely fast in retreat. If Zhan Yu was even slightly careless, he would be killed by Ye Chuhan's sword!

Ye Chuhan's offensive was fierce, and Zhan Yu could only adopt a defensive stance to protect himself!

Amidst the flowers, a fierce aura suddenly arose.

Lotus stood firmly to the side, staring intently at the fierce battle, her heart pounding like a drum, and she couldn't help but clench her fingers tightly.

"Master Zhan angered the sect leader because of Miss Lotus, and now his life is in danger. So Miss Lotus can just stand by and watch like this! Mei Ji really admires her."
