CHAPTER 890: CHAPTER 884: BOARDING THE SHIP

"Commander Liu, I’ve kept you waiting!"

Just as Liu Xin was about to run away, a cold female voice came over, it was none other than Yue Rushuang.

"You’ve finally come."

Liu Xin’s lips curled into a smile; if she hadn’t come, he would have fled.

"No more talking, let’s deal with this guy quickly, the longer it takes, the worse it could get."

Yue Rushuang had arrived earlier, but she wanted to sit back and watch the fight. She didn’t expect Liu Xin to be so easy to defeat and had no choice but to act; otherwise, with Liu Xin dead, the fight ahead would be much more difficult.

"This kid is tricky, call your men to assemble, let’s attack together. He’s severely injured, won’t hold out for long." Liu Xin’s eyes flashed coldly as he spoke.

"Hmm."

Yue Rushuang waved her hand, and four Seven Stars Commanders emerged from the black-clad guards. A row of black-clad guards quickly gathered, forming a solid wall.

The black-clad guards alone numbered over a thousand, plus the soldiers Liu Xin brought, totaling several thousand.

This entire force was deployed to hunt down Ye Xuan.

"These guys."

Nangong Yao furrowed her brow, the current situation was undoubtedly quite troubling.

"Want to rely on superior numbers, unfortunately, you didn’t bring enough people."

Ye Xuan let out a disdainful laugh, then unfolded the Holy and Demon Map Scroll. The scroll flew into the air and rapidly expanded, and in an instant, a vortex appeared on the huge scroll, presenting an illusory world.

Countless silhouettes emerged from this Holy and Demon Map Scroll, like a swarm of locusts, quickly pouring out.

A force of over ten thousand elite Demon Clan soldiers rapidly formed.

Leading them were Gui Cang and others, and notably, Emperor Mountain, the Seven Stars Purple Gold Commander Level, was also among them. Ye Xuan now had enough influence to make him submit.

"I forgot he still had the Holy and Demon Map Scroll."

Yue Rushuang’s face changed slightly; the Demon Clan army before her was enough in both quantity and quality to rival her forces.

"If we win this battle, your freedom will be returned."

Ye Xuan’s calm voice spread across the air.

He had previously dissolved the contract with Xiu Ming, Bai Qian, and others. He was a man who kept his word, never going back on it.

Knowing this, these powerful demons naturally devoted themselves wholeheartedly to serving Ye Xuan. In this battle, they had to protect Ye Xuan at all costs, or else, if Ye Xuan, the owner of the Holy and Demon Map Scroll, died, they would have no place to go.

"No time left, kill!"

Yue Rushuang didn’t hesitate further; if she delayed any longer, the Void Divine Ship would start sailing, and they had to capture Ye Xuan before then.

Instantly, the cries of battle rang out continuously, and thousands clashed fiercely.

Nangong Yao also drew her sword and fought against Liu Xin. As for Yue Rushuang, she faced off against Emperor Mountain.

"May’s Crescent Slash!"

Yue Rushuang swung her sword, and five crescents appeared in front, each condensed by Sword Qi, leaving five deep sword marks on the ground.

"Devil Dragon Devour!"

Emperor Mountain punched, and a devil dragon swept out, opening its big mouth to swallow the five crescents, without causing a ripple.

Though Yue Rushuang was powerful, Emperor Mountain was clearly no ordinary person. As a Seven Stars Purple Gold Commander of the Heavenly Demon Clan, both his physique and True Yuan surpassed Yue Rushuang, only in martial arts might he be slightly weaker.

In this situation, Ye Xuan didn’t need to intervene; he simply sat and meditated, observing calmly.

Before long, the departure time for the Void Divine Ship arrived.

"Yaoer, get ready to retreat."

The green mountains remain; there’s no fear of lacking firewood. Retreat to the Western World first, and return to settle accounts later.

"Want to leave? Moon’s Ritual!"

Yue Rushuang’s face darkened as she formed seals with her hands, evidently activating a Secret Technique to enhance her strength greatly. Her figure flashed, bypassing Emperor Mountain to charge at Ye Xuan.

"Really a troublesome woman."

Ye Xuan’s eyes darkened; Yue Rushuang was truly doing her job diligently as she tried to kill him to report back successfully.

Unfortunately, even if he couldn’t beat her now, there’s no one who could stop him from escaping.

Buzzzbuzz!

At this moment, a humming sound came from the distant void, originating from a massive black ship. The ship was ten thousand feet large with mottled cracks on its hull, ancient beyond measure.

The Void Divine Ship was about to leave port.

"Go!"

Ye Xuan commanded the Thunder Abyss Sword which formed a Sword Array around him, protecting him at its center.

The swords converged into one.

Using Sword Qi to trap Yue Rushuang in the array, Ye Xuan pulled Nangong Yao towards the Void Divine Ship.

"We mustn’t let them escape!"

Liu Xin’s face twisted as he shouted for his subordinates to attack fiercely.

But with Emperor Mountain and those Demon Clan powerhouses present, Liu Xin’s shouting was in vain. Demon Clan soldiers were inherently more skilled than Human Clan’s troops, and this ironclad formation was even harder to break.

"Forget it, it’s impossible to chase."

While Liu Xin was infuriated, Yue Rushuang remained calm.

"Just let this kid go? What about your task from the Empress? How will you explain?"

Liu Xin took a deep breath, regretting coming here because not only did he fail to kill Ye Xuan, but he completely offended him.

"Don’t worry; you and I aren’t the only ones sent to kill Ye Xuan. Someone is already waiting for him on the Void Divine Ship." Yue Rushuang’s lips curled into a faint smile.

"Oh?"

Liu Xin’s anger faded from his face; he probably knew who Yue Rushuang meant.

"Without these Demon Clan helpers from the Holy and Demon Map Scroll, he’s doomed."

Yue Rushuang seemed quite confident.

"Alright, let’s trust you once more then."

Liu Xin nodded. That person was indeed reliable, besides being in the dark, the chance of dealing with Ye Xuan was high.

Ye Xuan must die.

Liu Xin’s eyes flashed coldly; if Ye Xuan didn’t die, when he returned from the Western World, it would be the end for all of them.

After boarding the Void Divine Ship, Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Finally safe now."

Nangong Yao looked at Ye Xuan in front of her, showing a smile of relief on her face.

"Before fully recovering our strength, there’s no room for relaxation."

Ye Xuan shook his head; both of them were still injured, making it difficult to feel safe. Moreover, when he boarded the ship, Yue Rushuang looked very composed; she might still have something up her sleeve.

"Yaoer, your injuries should be almost healed, right? I have some pills and Divine Soul Stones here, recover your full strength first."

Ye Xuan’s own strength needed time to recover; there’s no use in rushing. He was too severely hurt, but Nangong Yao was different. Her Nine Yin Ice Soul Divine Body had strong self-healing abilities, and her previous severe injuries were physical ones, unlike Ye Xuan, who was critically harmed in both soul and body.
