The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1746: Inevitable Death

Boom.

A loud thunder echoed from the sky, turning the drizzle into a torrential downpour, drenching everyone. Ye Shikai tore a piece of cloth from his clothes to tightly wrap the wound on his shoulder. He could no longer hear the shouts of killing outside the barrier; soldiers and crowds were mingled together densely, a dark mass. He couldn’t see the figures of Shangguan Jian, Man Cang, and Xue San. Hopefully, they had already galloped out of the city...

Ye Shikai turned to look at Mi Wen. After more than two hundred rounds of fierce battle, even the strongest cultivator should feel fatigued. He had fought many expert cultivators before, like Zeus and many families’ people. Apart from an old cultivator like Chen Yaogzu, Mi Wen should be the most powerful. Naturally, a overlord who can hold his own ground is not an ordinary person.

This time he did not plan to persuade Mi Wen again because he knew that Mi Wen would definitely not stop. The barrier couldn’t be opened, either he had to eliminate Mi Wen, and then the barrier would naturally disappear, or Mi Wen would kill him and He Linghan, and it all ends...

"Brat, don’t you dare die." The blade’s soul shouted loudly; it was the soul of the Netherworld Blade, and Ye Shikai was its host. If he died, the blade soul would really be "soul scattering."

"The barrier won’t open, I have no choice." Ye Shikai was quite helpless, at least for now, he absolutely didn’t have the ability to break the barrier.

"Alright, I’ll try to break it, but it will take some time." the blade’s soul said angrily, "I’m only a spiritual body now. If I had a physical form, a barrier like this couldn’t trap me."

Mi Wen gasped for air, attacking again with a fierce assault. Ye Shikai worried that He Linghan might get hurt; to her, it wasn’t two people fighting, but two "bombs."

"How long will you keep protecting her?" Mi Wen shouted suddenly, looking at Ye Shikai covered in wounds. These injuries were caused by the Xuanjian Sword edge; it wasn’t that she hated Ye Shikai for not accepting her, but hated that he still protected He Linghan, even though he was battered, despondent, desperate...

"I said, either I leave with her, or I die with her." Ye Shikai said faintly.

"Fine, I’ll send you two to be a pair of doomed lovers today." Mi Wen was utterly hopeless now, no longer holding back in her attacks.

"Ling’er, be careful." Ye Shikai pushed He Linghan aside hurriedly, defending himself in a rush. Before the sword blade arrived, the Sword Qi made one shiver. This sword... he feared he couldn’t block it.

Boom.

Ye Shikai forcefully blocked the sword, his entire body being struck out, crashing into the barrier.

"Husband, are you okay?" He Linghan hurried forward. Ye Shikai felt a surge of heat in his chest; he was internally injured. He took out an Instant Healing Pill from the Storage Ring and swallowed it without hesitation.

"Ling’er, be careful." Before he could recover, Mi Wen’s next move was already coming. Ye Shikai pushed her aside, the sword edge fell, slicing a few strands of He Linghan’s long hair.

"Brat, her target is Miss He." the blade’s soul shouted suddenly. Simultaneously, Mi Wen turned her sword edge, stabbing toward He Linghan.

"No."

Ye Shikai leaped quickly, faster than Mi Wen’s sword, and countered with a backhand swing. The sword collided, deviating by three inches, not piercing He Linghan, but piercing through his abdomen.

The intense pain caused Ye Shikai’s expression to contort in agony. The Xuanjian had penetrated his body, seemingly absorbing all his vitality.

"Husband."

Witnessing this, not only He Linghan but also Mi Wen was shocked. This sword, she knew clearly, the determination at the moment the blade touched the body, but seeing Ye Shikai in such pain, her heart was unexpectedly touched.

Mi Wen withdrew the sword, blood flowing from Ye Shikai’s wound. Following this, he coughed up blood, it seemed the injury reached the organs. If it was an ordinary knife wound, Ye Shikai might have been able to repair it with Inner Strength, but Xuanjian was different from regular weapons; once the sword penetrated the body, the Sword Qi started damaging his organs...

"Husband, you... how are you?" He Linghan cried anxiously, her hands stained with blood. Ye Shikai lay in her arms, unable even to hold the sword.

"Ling’er, I’m sorry, this time I’ve broken my promise, I can’t... stay with you anymore."

"Husband, don’t speak." He Linghan watched her beloved in her arms, life fading away, but powerless to stop it.

Boom.

A thunder echoed again in the sky, this time extremely loud, Mi Wen’s hand trembled violently, almost dropping her sword. A hint of panic flashed across her face. She knew about Ye Shikai’s injury; if he wasn’t treated soon, he would die. Mi Wen’s hand started trembling, but after taking a deep breath, her face regained composure and calmly walked forward, raising her longsword.

"No." He Linghan stepped forward, spreading her arms, sheltering Ye Shikai behind her, "You won’t harm him."

He Linghan was just an ordinary person. If she got hit by the sword, she would surely die. She thought Mi Wen was trying to chase, not realizing Mi Wen’s target was her all along.

Mi Wen sneered, raising the sword edge, pointing it at He Linghan’s chest. Just one thrust and this woman would perish, He Linghan turned her head away, avoiding Mi Wen’s gaze, like a prisoner about to be executed, blindfolded, filled with fear internally, yet her body didn’t waver a bit.

"It’s time for everything to end." Mi Wen gritted her teeth, exerting force, thrusting the sword edge down.

"Dodge." Suddenly, a hand grasped He Linghan’s arm, feeling a force hurling her back. When she recovered, the scene before her made her feel shock and despair, Ye Shikai used all his strength to push her back, the Xuanjian piercing into his chest, the left side of the chest...

"No..." Mi Wen didn’t expect this outcome, but when she realized what happened, the Xuanjian had already pierced through his heart. Until this moment, this "snake-hearted woman" showed a semblance of "normalcy," her hand holding the sword suddenly loosened, as if losing power, collapsing to the ground. She might not have realized what she had done.

He Linghan lunged forward, falling beside him. Even a cultivator couldn’t defy nature; if the heart was damaged, not even a deity could save him, let alone the sword penetrating the heart was the Xuanjian.

"Ling’er, don’t... don’t cry." Ye Shikai coughed blood, even speaking was arduous, mouth full of blood taste, the ground seemed to have a strong magnetic pull, binding him to it. He had been injured countless times before, but never had his heart been hurt. This time... he truly couldn’t escape death.
