He was sent flying backward by the powerful force, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Someone's coming!"
Li Yao's ears twitched, then he smiled slightly, "Judging from the aura, it's very likely that Huang Ying has arrived."
Sure enough, just as Li Er was about to end the Emperor's life, a loud voice seemed to ring in his ears: "Do not harm the Emperor."
Immediately, a dense, malevolent aura burst forth, rolling in.
At the same time, a figure suddenly appeared.
The newcomer was none other than the handsome Huang Ying!
In his early years, Huang Ying was extremely wealthy and a member of the Japanese imperial family. In addition to his handsome face and supreme imperial power, he also had a wife known as the most beautiful woman in Japan, and they had a daughter.
Once, he took his wife on a trip to relax, but they were robbed by a group of knife-wielding thugs.
At a critical moment, he was rescued by a swordsman named Yagyu Muki, and then became his apprentice, learning martial arts to protect himself.
Finally, thanks to his talent, he mastered the true teachings of Yagyu Muki.
Later, he had a family in a certain place in Japan who forged a rare divine weapon called the Silent Blade.
So he went to ask for a knife.
No one in the family had ever been able to wield the Jingji Blade, so they announced that whoever could wield it would own it.
If one were to rashly pick up the Jingji Blade, all ten of one's fingers would be immediately severed by the blade.
In the end, Huang Ying, with his unique courage and skill, successfully picked up the Jingji Blade.
After obtaining the Jingji Blade, Huang Ying, in order to further improve his swordsmanship, guarded the Jingji Blade day and night, without sleep or food, neglecting his family.
After his wife and daughters were neglected, they tried every means to dissuade him, but Huang Ying remained unmoved.
Even more tragically, his wife and daughter, in an attempt to dissuade him, one starved to death, and the other charged at the Jingji Blade and died.
After his wife and daughter died, Huang Ying showed no grief whatsoever.
After pondering for many days, he realized that his heart could hold nothing but the Jingji Blade.
In the end, Huang Ying gave up his promising future, his heart and sword became one, he comprehended the Seven Styles of Sword Intent, became invincible throughout Japan, and became the number one swordsman in Japan.
Chapter 295 The Xiao Brothers Appear
The current emperor is an old man who is about to pass away.
Huang Ying, on the other hand, is a middle-aged man in his prime.
However, although the two are very different in age, Koei is the youngest son of the previous emperor.
In other words, the current Emperor and the Imperial Shadow are indeed brothers.
Although Huang Ying had severed all ties with family and friends in order to cultivate his swordsmanship.
However, he was still a member of the Japanese imperial family and would never stand idly by and watch the Japanese imperial family fall into the hands of others.
He had previously received news that someone had stormed the palace.
So he rushed to the palace and found the mummified corpses of palace guards everywhere.
He was extremely anxious and quickened his pace, arriving just in time to see someone about to attack the Emperor.
In a moment of desperation, he immediately drew his Jingji Blade, unleashing a fierce aura. The 'Seven Styles of Blade Intent' erupted with an indestructible golden blade energy, slashing straight towards Li Er's head.
"Golden sword energy?"
"That's interesting!"
Li Yao's eyes lit up, and with a flick of his right hand, the Destiny Blade appeared in his grasp.
In an instant, he unleashed a crimson blade aura, carrying a blazing flame, like hellfire, tearing through the air and rushing away.
The Heavenly Mandate Blade was naturally presented to Li Yao by Wu Wudi.
After obtaining the Heavenly Fate Blade, Li Yao copied it and disassembled it, obtaining the Heavenly Fate Soul and 25 points of Weapon Soul.
Of course, he did not return the original Destiny Blade to Wu Wudi.
Because he still has a use.
The crimson blade energy collided violently with the golden blade aura.
With a deafening roar, a gust of wind swept up in front of the palace, whipping up a ball of flames that instantly turned the surrounding area into a sea of fire.
In this raging inferno, countless Japanese guards were burning, their bodies engulfed in flames, emitting shrill screams.
These ambitious Japanese were reduced to ashes in the inferno.
When Huang Ying saw that his attack had not only failed to defeat the enemy, but had instead caused countless Japanese to perish in the enemy's raging inferno in an instant, he was instantly enraged.
"Damn it, how could you be so cruel and vicious? I'm going to kill you!"
Enraged, Huang Ying was like a raging lion, wielding the Jingji Blade and hacking and slashing wildly.
Sever all ties of passion!
He unleashed over a dozen slashes in succession, the golden sword energy crisscrossing and spreading like a spider web, densely enveloping Li Yao.
Huang Ying's "Seven Styles of Sword Intent" originated from his remonstrance after the death of his wife and daughter, and he created a sword technique based on his seven emotions.
Seemingly heartless and ruthless, but in reality, he uses emotion to wield the knife.
Every move, every style, embodies his most sincere emotions and is his interpretation of the true meaning of life.
Its power is extremely strong, and its moves are extremely exquisite, reaching an astonishing level.
"Hmph, when it comes to cruelty and ruthlessness, I can't even compare to you Japanese!"
Li Yao snorted coldly.
At the same time, he suddenly unleashed a barrage of sword energy from his Heavenly Fate Blade, which intertwined with Huang Ying's Chaotic Emotion Slash.
In an instant, the blade flashed, the blade energy rolled, and countless blade shadows burst forth with endless sparks.
"Impressive skill!"
Huang Ying secretly praised him.
Despite being an enemy, he couldn't help but admire Li Yao's profound skill.
As a martial arts fanatic, his fighting spirit surged instantly, and he once again swung his sword at Li Yao.
Both sides launched fierce attacks, their momentum as awe-inspiring and terrifying!
Because Li Yao was waiting for some key figures to appear, he did not use his full strength, but instead slowly entangled himself with Huang Ying.
The two fought for a while, when suddenly Li Yao had a thought: They've finally arrived!
Immediately, a slash was unleashed, a desolate sword cry resounded, and an incomparably dazzling sword light shone throughout the entire world.
Huang Ying felt a blur before her eyes, and her chest felt as if it had been torn apart. A burning pain immediately spread throughout her body.
"It's my turn!"
Li Er chuckled and snapped a picture from mid-air.
An immense attraction emanated from his palm.
Huang Ying's body trembled, feeling his inner strength gushing out in an endless stream.
At the same time, he was shocked to discover that his skin was rapidly withering away at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Royal brother!"
The Emperor witnessed his younger brother wither away bit by bit, and he was filled with extreme grief, anger, and fear.
As for Kazuo Kamui, he watched his own uncle slowly lose his life force without any emotion. He just watched calmly, as if he were looking at a stranger.
Soon, Huang Ying turned into a dried-up corpse, and his internal energy and essence had become Li Er's property.

"It's your turn!"
Li Er turned his gaze to the Emperor.
The Emperor's eyes were filled with resentment and fear.
Just as Li Er was about to make his move, someone else appeared in time to stop him: "Stop!"
Before the shout had even finished, a sword aura flew straight towards them.
The sword flashed like lightning, and Li Er swiftly dodged, avoiding this unparalleled sword energy.
In an instant, a powerful aura swept over.
In an instant, a man dressed in what appeared to be a Taoist robe but was not quite one appeared before Li Yao and Li Er.
The person who came was wearing a full blue suit with eight belts tied at the back, and the suit was covered with images resembling the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) symbols.
He had a round face and several small braids hanging down the back of his head.
He exuded arrogance and emanated a compelling aura.
Following him, several other extremely powerful auras arrived at an incredibly fast speed.
"The boss?"
Li Yao saw the other person's appearance and attire, as well as the powerful aura emanating from him, and made a guess in his mind.
