Chapter 213: Chapter 210: Killing the King (Please Subscribe)

Hum!

The First Sword Vein within Ye Zhen’s body suddenly vibrated, and a golden Sword Light shot out abruptly.

The moment the golden Sword Light shot out, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power, which had doubled under the enhancement of the War Soul Blood Flag, combined with the Spiritual Power within his body and merged into the golden Sword Light like lightning!

Whoosh!

The moment the golden light shot out, an Origin Sword Vein shaped like a crescent moon struck like lightning towards the old eunuch standing in front of Third Prince Zhu Kun.

"Not good!"

"Hmph, too late!"

The moment the golden Origin Sword Vein was cleaved, the old eunuch, who had originally half-closed his eyelids and had not taken Ye Zhen seriously, drastically changed his expression.

The surging Spiritual Power was as intensely radiant as the sun!

But, like a hot knife through butter, the crescent-shaped Origin Sword Vein tore through the old eunuch’s Protective Spirit Force as easily as ripping paper and fiercely sliced into the old eunuch’s chest.

Spurt!

Blood splattered everywhere!

The old eunuch was blasted back, and even Third Prince Zhu Kun behind him was knocked into the air.

"Your Highness, run.... quick!"

The old eunuch nearly used all his strength to roar out these words, which burst out of his mouth mixed with blood.

"Hmph, think you can run?"

Ye Zhen took a step forward using the Chasing Star Step and immediately caught up, cleaving another golden Origin Sword Vein.

However, this time, Ye Zhen’s target was the fleeing Third Prince Zhu Kun!

It is said that even a dragon has a reversed scale, touch it and you shall die!

Ye Zhen’s family was his reversed scale!

Today, Third Prince Zhu Kun had touched Ye Zhen’s reversed scale by recklessly trying to use Ye Zhen’s family and clansmen to threaten him into submission.

As soon as Third Prince Zhu Kun used this as a threat, Ye Zhen made a shocking decision—he must kill this foe today, or the boundless and reckless Third Prince Zhu Kun would definitely leave Ye Zhen with endless troubles.

But, the old eunuch who accompanied Third Prince Zhu Kun was a powerful being in the Spirit Transformation Realm, and to kill Third Prince Zhu Kun, Ye Zhen knew he must first deal with this man.

Moreover, he had to act quickly and decisively.

If there was any delay, Ye Zhen would lose the opportunity to kill Third Prince Zhu Kun.

Thus, Ye Zhen’s first move was to use the War Soul Blood Flag to boost himself and then he unhesitatingly utilized the Origin Sword Vein.

As for the Wind Cloud Sword Technique, Ye Zhen had abandoned it, not having tested it in actual combat; he didn’t know if it could kill a Spirit Transformation Realm expert even with the enhancement from the Level 5 War Soul Blood Flag.

Because in this battle, there was absolutely no room for error!

If there was any mishap, the consequences would be something Ye Zhen could not bear!

Therefore, Ye Zhen consecutively used the Origin Sword Vein three times!

Whoosh!

The golden Origin Sword Vein flashed like lightning toward Third Prince Zhu Kun.

"Do not harm my lord!"

The blood-spewing old eunuch roared angrily, lunging diagonally like lightning, using his body to block Ye Zhen’s Origin Sword Vein!

"Quick... run..."

Spurt!

The golden Origin Sword Vein flashed by, once again tearing through the old eunuch’s fierce Protective Spirit Force and harshly cleaved into the old eunuch’s right chest.

The moment the Origin Sword Vein entered flesh, it suddenly became extremely difficult to move.

The robustness of a Spirit Transformation Realm strongman’s body was demonstrated at this moment.

Even though he was not specialized in Body Cultivation, his body, refined by endless Spiritual Power, was even harder than steel and contained the most intricate Spiritual Power; Ye Zhen’s indestructible Origin Sword Vein managed to cleave only three inches into the old eunuch’s body, then completely dissipated!

With a sinister laugh, the old eunuch’s emaciated hands, like chicken claws, radiated an extremely fierce aura and swiped at Ye Zhen like lightning.

With the Spirit Transformation Realm power’s incredible speed, and at such a close distance, Ye Zhen only saw a flicker before the old eunuch’s chicken claw-like emaciated claws reached his chest.

Almost simultaneously, the terrified Third Prince Zhu Kun violently leaped into the air intending to flee.

At this moment, Ye Zhen threw caution to the wind.

If Third Prince Zhu Kun escaped today, it would be a disaster!

As the Protective Spirit Power radiance greatly flared, Ye Zhen faced the old eunuch’s hands swiping at his chest unflinchingly, the Sky Crystal Sword in his hand pointed and a golden Origin Sword Vein cleaved out once more.

This time, however, it was a horizontal strike!

A look of ecstatic joy suddenly appeared in the old eunuch’s eyes, and he couldn’t believe Ye Zhen was not dodging his Yin Evil Bone Transforming Hand.

Not even a Spirit Summoning Realm peak person, let alone someone at the third or fourth stage of Spirit Transformation, dared to directly receive his Yin Evil Bone Transforming Hand like Ye Zhen did!

Bang!

In front of the old eunuch’s emaciated claws, Ye Zhen’s Protective Spirit Power was even weaker than paper, and in the moment of contact, it was utterly shredded.

"Die!"

The old eunuch sneered, his emaciated claws pressing against Ye Zhen’s chest. This touch alone, let alone a Spirit Summoning Realm peak person, even a second or third-stage Martial Artist of the Spirit Transformation Realm would be killed instantly!

But just as his emaciated claws touched Ye Zhen’s chest, a swarm of dazzling black light suddenly erupted from Ye Zhen’s body surface. This black light, surprising the widely knowledgeable old eunuch tremendously.

"Protective Spirit Light of a Mid-grade Treasure?"

The moment he saw the black light, the old eunuch’s heart sank.

Clang!

The old eunuch’s emaciated claws collided fiercely with the Protective Spirit Light of Ye Zhen’s Black Wind Armor, producing a sound of metal clashing against metal. The black light of the Black Wind Armor immediately burst apart, but the Spiritual Power on the old eunuch’s claws was also shattered substantially!

Hiss!

Ye Zhen’s Origin Sword Vein horizontally slashed out and partially penetrated the old eunuch’s neck with the speed of lightning before dissipating from the flesh dense with Spiritual Power.

However, this time, it was a close-range melee fight.

Ye Zhen’s Sky Crystal Sword had also followed the Origin Sword Vein and cut in.

Crack!

A crisp sound of flesh being severed. The old eunuch’s head soared into the air.

Almost simultaneously, the emaciated hands of the old eunuch eventually breached all barriers and pressed against Ye Zhen’s chest.

Ye Zhen’s chest clothing instantly incinerated as if burned by Yin Fire, revealing the Black Wind Medium-Grade Armor worn underneath!

The residual force of the old eunuch’s Yin Evil Bone Transforming Palm was blocked by Ye Zhen’s Black Wind Medium-Grade Armor, but a thread of soft, serpent-like force penetrated through the armor and into Ye Zhen’s chest.

"Struck by my Bone Melting Soft Force, even if you don’t die you’ll..."

The severed head of the old eunuch screeched as it ascended, its vitality abruptly halted, then fell to the ground like a stone.

Ye Zhen felt a constriction in his chest and a sudden, inexplicable chill swept through his body.

But at this moment, Ye Zhen couldn’t concern himself with this injury.

Although the exchange with the old eunuch was exceedingly rapid, spanning just three or four breaths of time, within that period, Third Prince Zhu Kun had already ascended into the air and flown nearly a hundred meters away.

Don’t forget, Third Prince Zhu Kun was also a Peak of Spirit Summoning Realm martial artist!

A flash of brilliance on the storage ring, and the Green Wing Divine Bow appeared in Ye Zhen’s hand!

Crack!

Instantly, Ye Zhen drew the Green Wing Divine Bow to a full crescent, released his finger, and a Green Winged Spirit Arrow shot towards Third Prince Zhu Kun like lightning!

Once the Green Winged Spirit Arrow was loosed, within four miles, those below Spirit Transformation could not avoid it!

In the sky, Third Prince Zhu Kun screamed like a bird struck mid-flight, plummeting sharply from the heavens.

"Lucky to have the Green Wing Divine Bow!"

A sigh of relief. While it’s true that even if Third Prince Zhu Kun got a few hundred meters ahead, Ye Zhen could have still caught up with him.

But don’t forget, this is the Black Water King’s City; a slight chase could attract attention from the officials stationed in the Imperial Palace. Once an official from the Imperial Palace showed up, Ye Zhen, no matter how strong, wouldn’t be able to kill Third Prince Zhu Kun.

Suppressing his injuries, Ye Zhen soared skyward, confronting Third Prince Zhu Kun falling from the sky, his fingers rapidly striking down, sealing the lingering life force and Spiritual Power of the heavily injured Third Prince Zhu Kun.

That strike was deliberately spared by Ye Zhen, leaving Third Prince Zhu Kun alive!

Seeing the intense expression on Ye Zhen’s face and thinking back to the old eunuch Ye Zhen had slaughtered, indescribable shock painted third Prince Zhu Kun’s features.

If it were not for the shock, perhaps the word "perverse" would have slipped out.

This old eunuch was part of the palace’s selected entourage, chosen from talented youths and trained to protect important members of the Royal Family.

Third Prince Zhu Kun held a significant status within the Royal Household.

Therefore, the old eunuch assigned to guard him had a terrifying Cultivation reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage!

Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage!

Just a step and a half away from reaching the formidable Soul Sea Realm.

Yet, Ye Zhen slaughtered him!

In such a brief span!

The astonishment of Third Prince Zhu Kun was unimaginable!

Indeed, just how arduous it was to kill a warrior of Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage was known only to Ye Zhen himself.

With the empowerment from the Fifth-level Battle Soul Blood Banner, taking initiative in the attack, he first gravely wounded the old eunuch using the Origin Sword Vein, forcing him into a position as a human shield against Third Prince Zhu Kun.

Using the Black Wind Medium-Grade Armor as his ace, trading injury for injury, life for life, he seized the chance to slaughter the old eunuch.

By the end, he was still injured by the lasting impact of the old eunuch’s Yin Evil Bone Transforming Palm!

Although it took only a few breaths of time, Ye Zhen, integrating both time and location advantages, drew upon all his skills in a stealthy, preemptive strike that ultimately allowed him to assassinate the old eunuch.

Just how terrifying a Spirit Transformation Realm Fourth Stage warrior could be, perhaps only Ye Zhen truly knew.

By now, Ye Zhen was so affected by the chilling aura invading his chest that his teeth began to chatter uncontrollably.

"Third Prince, promptly recall the death soldiers you dispatched against my clan, and I will spare your life!"

In Ye Zhen’s eyes flickered a sly glint. Although he was almost certain from the words of Third Prince Zhu Kun earlier that the prince had yet to deploy the death soldiers, Ye Zhen wasn’t willing to take the risk.

That was a risk Ye Zhen simply couldn’t afford!

This matter had to be confirmed!

"No, I haven’t yet dispatched them, was actually negotiating with you, I believed almost surely I could persuade you...."

Overcome with immense fear, Third Prince Zhu Kun blurted out the truth.

Mid-sentence, Third Prince Zhu Kun came to his senses and immediately flew into a rage.

"Ye Zhen, I am an Imperial Prince of the Empire, how dare you kill me?" At this moment, Third Prince Zhu Kun realized he had been frightened out of his wits.

Since the establishment of the Black Water Kingdom, there had been royal members killed by others, but someone in his position, wielding significant power, potentially an heir to the throne, had never before faced such audacious assassination!

Should he be murdered, the entire Black Water Kingdom would be plunged into turmoil!

But Ye Zhen’s audacity wasn’t something Third Prince Zhu Kun could comprehend.

"No death soldiers deployed yet, good, then die!"

"You dare..."

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s hand reached Third Prince Zhu Kun’s forehead, sending out a burst of palm force.

Bang!

Third Prince Zhu Kun’s head instantaneously burst open like a melon! (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to vote for it on qidian.com, cast your monthly ticket, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
