Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Battling A Transformation God

Ye Xuan, hearing these words, was wildly joyful, but he didn’t immediately agree, instead remaining silent.

He was clearly communicating with something.

Ye Yu watched, his expression growing grave. That Bl00d Demon, it seems, had entered Ye Xuan’s body.

Not long after, a smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s face. He then looked at Ye Yu and said, “Imperial Brother, do you think I should join? ”

“You are brothers? ” A Nine Spirits Sword Sect Elder’s eyes flashed as he spoke.

Although the Sword King Legacy ultimately chose Ye Xuan, judging from the situation just now, Ye Yu’s talent was undoubtedly excellent as well.

If both could be taken in as disciples, the Nine Spirits Sword Sect’s future would be bright.

“Yes, he is my Imperial Brother, Ye Yu, the number one genius of Qingzhou,” Ye Xuan said seriously.

“The number one genius of Qingzhou? Even the Sword King Legacy chose you, can he still keep that title? ” Liu Ruyun sneered from the side.

Ye Xuan, however, tugged at Liu Ruyun’s sleeve, resting his head against her shoulder and said, “Ruyun, don’t say that. Imperial Brother will think I stole his things again. I don’t want to die. ”

A short sentence, yet revealing a great deal of information.

The Nine Spirits Sword Sect Elder’s expression darkened further. Now that Ye Xuan had obtained the Sword King Legacy, he was of immense value to the Nine Spirits Sword Sect.

They would not allow the existence of someone who could threaten Ye Xuan’s life.

Ye Yu watched the Nine Spirits Sword Sect Elder’s darkening expression, scanned his surroundings, and sensed something amiss.

In every corner of the Main Hall were pools of bl00d, emanating a faint fragrance.

Their attention had been focused on the Sword King’s remains, so they hadn’t noticed this.

“Bl00d Demon Heart-Eating Qi! ” Ye Yu’s face fell.

The Bl00d Demon Heart-Eating Pill Ye Xuan had given Ye Yu previously contained this Bl00d Demon Heart-Eating Qi. Absorbing too much would lead to a loss of reason, and this Qi would subtly incite killing intent within the body.

From the beginning, the Bl00d Demon had never intended to act itself; instead, it was making the people slaughter each other.

Realizing this, Ye Yu retreated explosively, but the Nine Spirits Sword Sect Elder was already approaching, his eyes now tinged with a crimson hue.

The next moment, a scream echoed through the hall. A cultivator had inexplicably slashed at someone beside them.

Instantly, the Main Hall descended into chaos.

Subsequently, the Sword King Hall’s doors slowly closed.

Ye Yu watched the approaching Nine Spirits Sword Sect Elder, his face turning grim. A wave of cold Qi emanated from around him; at some point, Ye Yu had entered the Elder’s domain.

Seeing this, Ye Yu gritted his teeth, holding nothing back, fully activating the Primordial Invincible Scripture, forcing back some of the surrounding chill.

“Such refined spiritual energy! ” Unlike the others, the Elder before him was, after all, in the Transformation God Stage. Although the killing intent within his body had been ignited, he had not yet lost his reason.

Seeing Ye Yu’s spiritual energy, he couldn’t help but be startled.

“Soaring Cloud Sword Finger! ”

But surprise aside, the Elder pointed a finger. The next moment, snowflakes fell within dozens of meters, condensing into a sword finger in mid-air, hurtling toward Ye Yu.

Ye Yu frowned, flipped his palm, and the Zi Xiao Sword appeared in his hand. The Sky Cleaving Sword Technique was instantly unleashed.

Boom!

Two Spiritual Energies collided, a violent blast wave erupting. The shockwave sent Ye Yu flying, and he quickly used the force to retreat from the Elder’s domain.

Having left the Elder’s domain, Ye Yu looked back, only to see that the doors remained unscathed; the terrifying spiritual energy shockwave had had no effect on them.

“Zi Xiao Sword! ” The Elder didn’t pursue but stared intently at the Zi Xiao Sword in Ye Yu’s hand, his eyes wide, as if he had seen something incredibly shocking.

But soon, the Elder recovered, a cruel smile spreading across his face. He said, “So you are the new Master of the Zi Xiao Sword. What an unexpected surprise! ”

Ye Yu ignored him, looking at the other two Transformation God Stage Elders. They weren’t paying attention to this side; one was restraining Jian Jiuchen, the other protecting Ye Xuan.

Seeing this, Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Three Transformation God Stage Cultivators meant certain death, no need to even think about it. One, however, might still offer a chance!

With this in mind, Ye Yu stared at the Elder before him, his breathing shifting rhythm, and a Thunder Dragon Mark appeared on his body.

“Want to kill me? Hehe, let’s see if you have what it takes! ” The Elder seemed to understand Ye Yu’s thoughts, sneered, and took a step forward.

His figure moved like a ghost, appearing before Ye Yu, the piercing chill attacking again.

Ye Yu formed hand seals, and the Spiritual Seal beneath his feet rose, transforming into a formation diagram, trapping the Elder within.

This was something he had secretly set up while the Elder was staring at the Zi Xiao Sword.

The Southern Ming Li Fire Formation instantly formed. The Elder was clearly surprised, but only momentarily.

“Before a Transformation God, any methods are useless! ” The Elder sneered, snowflakes swirling around him, transforming into streams of Sword Qi, shattering the formation.

But the instant the formation shattered, Ye Yu’s figure flashed, appearing before the Elder, pouring all his spiritual energy into the Zi Xiao Sword.

“Sky Cleaving Sword Technique! Earth Splitting! ”

Boom! A massive burst of Sword Qi erupted. Behind Ye Yu, a figure seemed to appear, wielding a long sword and slashing down at the Elder.

The sharp Sword Qi caused the Elder’s face to change, scattering the snowflakes that had formed into Sword Qi.

In battle, Ye Yu held nothing back, unlike others who would test the waters. If he was going to strike, he would aim for a one-hit kill!

The Earth Splitting style of the Sky Cleaving Sword Technique was the strongest Sword Move Ye Yu could currently use!

Seeing the surging Sword Qi, the Elder’s expression grew grave. As a Sword Cultivator, he could sense the terrifying power within.

He then formed hand seals, golden light erupting from his eyes.

“Immortal Sword Body! ”

The snowflakes around the Elder transformed into countless long swords, finally merging into a gigantic sword dozens of meters long, standing before him.

Boom!

The Sword Qi and the giant sword collided, a terrifying shockwave carrying Sword Qi sweeping outwards.

The cultivators who had lost their minds nearby were instantly cut down.

Ye Xuan, standing in the distance, noticed this. Seeing Ye Yu unleash such a terrifying Sword Move, his eyes were filled with hatred!

“You really do have quite a few tricks up your sleeve! If only you were a disciple of my Nine Spirits Sword Sect. It’s a pity you belong to the Zi Xiao Sword Sect! ” The Elder’s voice rang out coldly.

Crack!

A subtle cracking sound echoed; the giant sword standing before the Elder completely shattered.

But he, standing behind the sword, was unharmed, looking coldly at Ye Yu.

“Die! ” The Elder didn’t bother with pleasantries, pointing at the exhausted Ye Yu.

But at that moment, the Elder felt something wrap around his arm. Turning his head, he saw a stalk of green bamboo had somehow entangled his arm.
