CHAPTER 1690: CHAPTER 1710: KILL

"Swish~" As the Crown Prince’s eyes burned with fury and intimidation, Yusuf Zuck took a step out of the carriage and slowly walked forward.

"Hmm?" Seeing a strange man suddenly stroll out, everyone was momentarily stunned. Although they had noticed this stranger earlier, they thought he was Casen Torres’s follower, given that he was standing behind Casen Torres, so no one paid much attention.

However, now Casen Torres didn’t come out, but this follower did?

Everyone used their Divine Consciousness to scan Yusuf Zuck and finally discovered his cultivation level was only at the Marquis realm.

"Bold! Stop, or you’ll be killed without mercy." The chief eunuch, Ricardo Fuentes, pointed with an orchid finger and coldly shouted at Yusuf Zuck.

Yusuf Zuck chuckled and slowly said, "Today, whoever blocks me will die." He came to this Royal City, to this palace, with no intention of using peaceful means, and he had to wash the palace with blood.

If he didn’t wash this place with blood, it wouldn’t be his style.

"Arrogant thief." Ricardo Fuentes screamed without needing anyone’s orders, suddenly his whole body trembled, and then he pointed toward Yusuf Zuck’s brow.

In his eyes, Yusuf Zuck’s cultivation was vastly inferior, so he only needed to raise a finger to wipe him out into dust.

"Meritorious Golden Body." Yusuf Zuck didn’t use any Divine Skills; instead, he let his Meritorious Golden Body emerge.

He dared to come, dared to crash through recklessly, dared to seize people in this palace, not relying on cultivation or divine skills, but on his Golden Body and sharp blade.

He also knew his own realm and strength were not on par with the experts here, but being their rival didn’t mean he couldn’t kill them, nor did it mean the enemy could kill him.

His Golden Body, the world’s best defense; his blade, the world’s sharpest; it could be said, one defends and one attacks, complementing each other, making him an indestructible little strong.

"Bang!" Ricardo Fuentes’s finger landed squarely on the top of Yusuf Zuck’s head, causing blood to drip from Yusuf Zuck’s nostrils.

However, the thing that shocked Ricardo Fuentes and left everyone dumbfounded was that this person with the Golden Body only bled from the nose, with not a single scratch on his body!

"Meow~" A sudden cat cry erupted, and before everyone could react, as Ricardo Fuentes was still in shock, Yusuf Zuck’s blade swung down fiercely, slashing towards Ricardo Fuentes’s forehead.

Yet, Ricardo Fuentes, being the chief eunuch and close servant of the king, had profound cultivation and vast divine skills, ranking among the top three here.

The cat’s cry didn’t faze him; the attack from Little White failed this time.

Nevertheless, Ricardo Fuentes sensed the chilling breath emanating from Yusuf Zuck’s blade, a sharpness able to cut through everything, a breath that made his heart palpitate.

"Roar~" He roared, and as black fog rolled, a shield formed in front of his body, a shield of fog.

He also screamed, "How can this treasure be in your hands? How can it be in your hands?"

"Screech," he hadn’t finished speaking when his fog-formed shield was cleaved in two, and in his fright and pale face, he retreated violently!

Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath; this chief eunuch was very strong, with super speed and reaction. His all-out strike would have been lethal to others, but Ricardo Fuentes retreated at the instant his defense was breached, so the blade narrowly grazed him.

"Epoch Etching Blade, the wicked Magic Treasure, how could it end up in his hands?"

Many recognized the Epoch Etching Blade, as it was a war trophy, part of the king’s spoils, yet no one could wield it. Later, it was heard that the king had given it to someone, but to whom, they didn’t know.

"And his Golden Body... it’s actually the legendary Meritorious Golden Body? How is that possible?"

"Meritorious Golden Body?" Everyone gasped; the Meritorious Golden Body was a legendary... a kind of reward from the Heavenly Dao. This Golden Body was only rumored; no one in the current world, since Opening the Heavens and Earth, had ever achieved it.

Though many practiced different Golden Bodies, no one succeeded with the Meritorious Golden Body because it wasn’t something you could cultivate; it was a true embodiment of merit.

Sir Gould lived ten lifetimes as a good man, accumulating ten lifetimes of merit, yet only displayed righteous aura—not the Golden Body.

So this Golden Body’s appearance was something nobody could explain.

"Stop him, kill him." The Crown Prince, being the king’s son, remained calm, not backing down even a step.

If he showed fear or retreated at this moment, he would be impeached and would lose favor with the king. So he sternly ordered the killing of Yusuf Zuck.

"Swoosh," Desmond Fuentes, the head of the Imperial Guards, made his move, wielding a battle sword over two meters long, flashing with a gleam as he swung it.

"Let me test you, see if your Golden Body is harder or if my blade is," Desmond Fuentes didn’t believe in superstition. As he stepped forward from afar, his long sword cleaved down from the sky, aiming at Yusuf Zuck’s head.

Yusuf Zuck still didn’t dodge, because he had to move forward.

"Meow" Little White Cat cried again, knowing it might not work, but it had to help Yusuf Zuck.

As for Yusuf Zuck, he gripped the blade tightly and began charging forward.

"Clang~" The speed of Desmond Fuentes’s sword was extremely fast, and as Yusuf Zuck charged forward, the sword’s light cleaved down from the top of his head, making a sound of metal clashing, with the force pushing Yusuf Zuck’s body several meters down.

Yet, not a strand of hair fell; his Golden Body’s hardness surpassed imagination.

However, he was injured again; this time, his ear was bleeding.

Of course, Yusuf Zuck couldn’t remain passive; his advance was the start of a true counterattack. As he bore the heavy strike on his forehead, he also swung his blade fiercely downward, his sword light crisscrossing, aiming down at Desmond Fuentes’s head.

Desmond Fuentes knew the blade’s terror, so he continuously defended, repeatedly raising his sword to block.

"Crack," as he raised his sword, the handle of his sword broke. Though the blade’s light was thin, it cleaved through as if nothing could stop it, shattering Desmond Fuentes’s sword and continuing downwards.

"No good," Desmond Fuentes yelled, "how can this blade be so sharp..." before he could finish, the blade’s light silently broke through his defense with a ’puff,’ and he froze, yelling, "Fuentes, save me..."

"Whoosh~" As he called for rescue, his body was split in two. But being a war general, in a split second, he avoided critical damage to the head, so the blade cleaved down from his shoulder. His body was split, but his head remained, not dead yet, though unable to fight or repair his body quickly.

"You villain want to die..." Of course, Ricardo Fuentes wouldn’t watch Desmond Fuentes die, so he screamed and came to the rescue.

"Meow~" At that moment, Little White cried again, and Yusuf Zuck roared, swinging two blades, one slashing at the flying chief eunuch, and the other continuing towards Desmond Fuentes.

Desmond Fuentes, though not dead, was heavily wounded, so as Little White Cat meowed once more, he became bemused, and Yusuf Zuck’s second blade swiftly followed through.

Everything happened in a flash; from engaging to delivering the second strike, the spectators didn’t even have time to react.

"Puff~" A cloud of blood rose, and under the watchful eyes of all, Desmond Fuentes was completely killed by Yusuf Zuck’s two strikes!
