Chapter 100: The Enraged Ye Wushang, Death!

Just as Xia Zixuan was about to fall under the enemy’s strike.

At that moment, a heaven-splitting blade light swept across the eight desolations, carrying a terrifying might as if to cleave all living beings, directly slashing toward the four Half-Kings.

Accompanying it was a bone-chilling voice, cold to the extreme, that made one’s whole body tremble.

“Touch my woman, and die!”

The voice fell, and the blade light followed right after, descending with overwhelming force, its terrifying might shocking all.

Boom!

The surrounding space trembled violently, even shattering, as though it could not withstand this domineering strike.

The blade light was so fearsome that the four Half-Kings’ expressions instantly changed; thick fear and dread surfaced on their faces.

This single strike gave them the suffocating illusion that even their very souls would be severed.

“Block it first! Kill!”

Without hesitation, the four abandoned Xia Zixuan and unleashed their strongest killing techniques against the incoming blade.

At the same moment, Xia Zixuan’s aura collapsed. Her face turned deathly pale, and blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

Her cultivation was only at the Dharma Aspect Realm. Within Great Xia, bolstered by the Nation’s Fate Dragon, she could forcefully raise her strength by one major realm to reach the Cave Heaven Realm.

Though extraordinary and monstrous in talent, she was still far from able to withstand the siege of four Half-Kings.

The only reason she still lived was that those four had held back at the start. Had they struck with full force, she would already have perished.

Now, the four’s killing moves clashed head-on with the descending blade light.

Boom!!!

A deafening roar shook the heavens. Above the capital of Great Xia, the sky rippled violently with ear-splitting tremors.

Pffft! Pffft!

The sound of vomiting blood rang out in succession. Countless citizens looked up, their hearts shaken to the core.

With just one blade strike, the four Half-Kings were sent flying backward, blood spraying, grievously wounded.

This strike’s might was so overwhelming that it suffocated them.

Everyone could only think of one name.

And then.

A black-clad figure holding a blade descended from the heavens. His eyes were ice-cold, brimming with murderous intent.

The moment he appeared, souls trembled, blood froze, and dread seeped into every bone.

Yet the people of Great Xia, seeing this figure, did not cower but instead erupted in joy.

Because this man was none other than the eternal War God of Great Xia Unmatched Marquis Ye Wushang!

Ye Wushang’s gaze instantly fell upon Xia Zixuan’s weakened state.

His heart ached, his eyes softened with guilt. He regretted bitterly—had he come sooner, she would not be in such a state.

Seeing that guilt and tenderness, Xia Zixuan’s heart melted with sweet warmth.

Then, Ye Wushang turned, his gaze cold as the Ten Hells’ Yama, his bearing like a supreme judge as he faced the four.

The four Half-Kings, still shaken by being overwhelmed with one strike, met Ye Wushang’s eyes and terror surged in their hearts.

They had believed that only the Ye Clan’s patriarch, Ye Zhen, was worthy of their caution.

But they had never expected that the Ye Clan’s current head, Ye Wushang, had already grown to such a terrifying level in just a few short years.

One of them quickly tried to speak, preparing to invoke the name of Sikong Mingyue.

But before he could finish, their communication jades flared, relaying a message that left them utterly despairing:

“Breaking news: Ye Clan’s patriarch, Ye Wushang, has singlehandedly suppressed Bai Zichen, Jiang Lingxiao, Gu Cangyun, Ao Wushuang, along with the Four Heavenly Marquises and the former First Marquis, Su Xiaoxiao. Using only his soul force, he defeated them all!”

“After the auction, he rescued Su Xiaoxiao, fought two Sea of Stars Second Heaven Kings alone, and effortlessly repelled them. He even declared, ‘Chase me, and die,’ scaring them into retreat. He then calmly departed with Su Xiaoxiao!”

“Plans have changed. Do not provoke the Ye Clan. Do not harm Xia Zixuan. Return immediately. The Sikong Family has decided to abandon Tianluo Daozhou entirely!”

Hiss!

The four Half-Kings gasped in horror.

They knew well the terrifying strength of those four Heavenly Marquises and Su Xiaoxiao. Even they would not last ten moves against such figures.

Yet Ye Wushang had crushed them in a single exchange.

Even more unthinkable he had used only Cave Heaven Realm cultivation to repel two Kings, forcing them into retreat.

Such a feat was unheard of through the ages.

Had they not just been wounded by his very blade moments ago, they would have thought this nothing but a madman’s tale.

But now, terror rooted itself in their bones.

Still, their leader tried to placate him, his voice trembling:

“Son-in-law, please hold your hand. We are from the Sikong Family, kin to Lady Sikong Mingyue. We merely wished to acknowledge our bond, and were only jesting with Lady Xia Zixuan. We beg your pardon!”

“Indeed in fact, by seniority, I am Lady Mingyue’s third granduncle.”

Another tried to add a veneer of authority, but Ye Wushang’s icy glare crushed his courage.

The only reply he received was a colossal, annihilating blade strike.

“Die!”

The ultimate blade light split the skies, its might freezing all existence, its intent shaking the cosmos.

Ye Wushang’s killing intent only deepened their excuses.

He knew all too well of Sikong Mingyue’s past their schemes had destroyed her clan, slain her father and grandfather. She had sworn vengeance, and Ye Wushang had promised it to her.

He had once held back, wary of the Sikong Family’s power.

But now they dared lay hands on Xia Zixuan?

His fury exploded.

Boom!

The blade light engulfed the four Half-Kings in an instant.

Their screams echoed briefly before silence fell.

One strike. Four lives ended.

Ye Wushang did not spare them a glance. Their flesh fell to the ground like worthless refuse.

In a flash, he appeared beside Xia Zixuan, placing a pill in her mouth without a word.

The pill dissolved instantly, her grievous wounds mending, her complexion flushing red again.

“Are you alright?” he asked softly, holding her arm.

She gripped him back, urgent: “I’m fine! Quickly, save Huang’er! If you’re too late, I fear he’ll be in grave danger!”

Hearing this, Ye Wushang’s eyes grew colder than ice.

Suppressing the fury boiling in his chest, he demanded: “Tell me everything. What happened?”

Xia Zixuan quickly recounted the truth:

The Sikong Family had recently learned of Sikong Mingyue’s marriage into the Ye Clan, and came feigning kinship. Rebuffed by Mingyue, they turned instead to Xia Zixuan.

Their new prodigy, born with the Heaven-Gazing Divine Eyes, had seen that Ye Tianhuang’s body carried the Supreme Bone.

Greed stirred among his elders. They decided to act while Ye Wushang was away and Ye Zhen was absent from the clan.

The plan was flawless: Half-Kings would restrain Xia Zixuan, a King would abduct Ye Tianhuang, and the prodigy would prepare to strip the Supreme Bone.

They had underestimated only one thing Ye Wushang’s true strength, and his speed in returning.

As Xia Zixuan finished, Ye Wushang’s killing intent soared to the heavens.

He had never expected his son to truly be walking the path of the legendary Desolate Heaven Emperor.

His rage reached its peak.

“Go save Huang’er quickly,” Xia Zixuan urged anxiously. “If they take him back to the Sikong Family, he’ll be in dire peril!”

Ye Wushang nodded grimly. After confirming Xia Zixuan’s safety, he launched himself skyward like a meteor, vanishing into the horizon.
