The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1792: Come and Fight
Previously on The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife...
"How could it be him?" Wang Qian’s face showed an expression of astonishment upon seeing Ye Shikai in person. She knew Ye Shikai, who first married Su Qingyu, then became the Chen family’s son-in-law. But the most crucial thing was his special identity; he seemed ordinary, yet he had a group of skilled warriors under him, and many families had suffered at his hands before.
However, when climbing the mountain, Wang Qian had not seen Ye Shikai. In fact, rumors had been circulating in Yanjing that Ye Shikai had gone missing on the Holy Mountain and had been gone for over two months. How could he appear here? Initially, the Wang family and the Tang family working together were enough to pose a threat to the Chen family, but Ye Shikai’s appearance could disrupt this balance.
"So, it’s the Wang family from Yanjing and the Tang family from Chang’an. No wonder you followed so closely." Chen Yuxin understood the thoughts of these two families; they must want to join forces to defeat the Chen family and then divide the treasures in the Secret Realm. Chen Yuxin had struggled to reach this point and would never compromise.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you here to get a piece of the pie?" Chen Yuxin sneered.
"Mr. Chen, I advise you to be sensible and stand aside. We can avoid a fight, otherwise, your family alone is definitely not a match for our two families." Tang Can said coldly, a blatant threat that no Family Head would agree to, especially not Chen Yuxin.
"Hmph, if you want to get the treasures inside, you can go ahead and try." Chen Yuxin gripped the Chunjun Sword tightly. She was a skilled warrior, but now she was pregnant; if her Inner Strength was excessively depleted, it could very possibly lead to life-threatening situations.
"Looks like we have to fight." Tang Can suddenly made a move, and Feng Ling protected Chen Yuxin. If Tang Can dared to rush up, she would definitely step up to stop him.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, Chen Yuxin felt a gust of wind pass by, and a figure dashed out from behind, charging straight toward Tang Can.
"Kill."
A slash of the sword swept across, and Tang Can, caught off guard, could only use his Inner Strength to form a shield in front of him.
Bang.
You Xi’s sword blade fell swiftly, breaking through Tang Can’s Inner Strength shield with a single strike, shattering the shield into pieces. Tang Can felt a sharp pain in his chest and quickly retreated. Ye Shikai’s strike was too fast, and the power of the You Xi Sword was immense. If his cultivation level wasn’t deep, just that one move might have seriously injured him. But even so, Tang Can was still badly hurt; clashing head-on with the You Xi Sword, he was the first to bear it...
"Anyone who wants to step up, feel free." Ye Shikai pointed his sword at the thousands from the two families, with no hint of fear on his face. Of course, with his strength, he could easily look down on the crowd. He had not forgiven Chen Yuxin, but he would never allow anyone to hurt her or the child in her womb.
Ye Shikai glared fiercely, and the people from the Wang and Tang families all looked at him. Many of them recognized him; after all, almost all the major and minor families in Yanjing attended his wedding with Chen Yuxin, but to repel Tang Can with just one move was truly astonishing strength.
And the You Xi Sword, known to everyone present, was rumored to be the sword of Qin General Bai Qi, heavily laden with murderous aura, resentment, and malicious energy. It was a "vicious" weapon, on par or surpassing the famous swords of the world.
"Kai, you..." Chen Yuxin was very moved for a moment, Ye Shikai standing up for her at this critical juncture, she felt very gratified. Although Ye Shikai spoke harshly, in times of crisis, he was still the first to stand up.
"Those who dare to come up and fight me, feel free." Ye Shikai shouted loudly, possessing an aura of single-handedly blocking thousands. The Wang and Tang families momentarily had no one daring to come forward. Judging by cultivation, Ye Shikai had reached the Body Integration Realm, a level only a few Family Heads had reached, and in terms of combat power, he was battle-tested. Against an opponent of equal cultivation, his chances of victory were greater.
"Kid, don’t be so arrogant." Suddenly, five elders emerged from the ranks of the Tang and Wang families, appearing to be the elders of the two families. Though it seemed like they would surely win with five against one, the result was shockingly unexpected.
Ye Shikai sidestepped, dodging the long sword coming at him, then turned and stabbed the sword into the opponent’s body. The You Xi Sword emitted a blood-red glow, and in the blink of an eye, the You Xi Sword absorbed all of the person’s blood, leaving the deceased with a ghastly pale face, lifeless and terrifying.
Everyone seeing this manner of death felt a chill in their hearts, but retreating was now impossible. In just a few rounds, three more died, leaving only the last elder who hurriedly attempted to retreat.
"Still trying to run?" Ye Shikai flashed behind the elder, thrusting a sword through his chest, killing him instantly.
The entire process took less than a minute, with five Divine Separation Realm elders killed by one man, and with ease. Such a powerful cultivator was rarely seen even in Huaxia. Now, probably only two Family Heads could match Ye Shikai. However, the Family Head is the most important figure, akin to the supreme commander in ancient battles between two armies. There’s no precedent for the supreme commander leading the front-line charge. If the Family Head were slightly careless, severely injured, or even killed, it would be disastrous.
Without the Family Head leading, it would have to be the elders. But with Ye Shikai’s strength, even using a human wave tactic to win would likely result in heavy losses of elders, each a backbone of the family, losing even one would be distressing, let alone so many.
"Anyone else wants to step up?" Ye Shikai continued.
"Kid, don’t be so arrogant." Wang Lianfeng stepped forward, acknowledging that Ye Shikai was not an ordinary cultivator. If he weren’t the Chen family’s son-in-law, any family would probably try to recruit him.
If it were before the crossing, with Ye Shikai’s strength, he could probably deal with at most five or six Divine Separation Realm masters at once. But since the crossing, even if ten more Divine Separation Realm masters came, they wouldn’t be his match.
"So what if I’m arrogant? This place is all about the law of the jungle. I’m determined to take what’s inside. If you have the guts, fight me, but if you’re scared, step aside." Ye Shikai said mercilessly, and everyone present was furious, yet they could only swallow their anger, as indeed, they were no match for Ye Shikai.
"These treasures of Kunlun Mountain, do you think the Chen family alone can swallow them all? There are many more families behind who will come here. Even if you get in and obtain the treasures, you might not make it back to Yanjing alive." Tang Can threatened, "But if you agree to share the treasures with us, there will be no danger."
"What a joke." Ye Shikai sneered, "If you really have enough strength, why come here for false pretenses of cooperation, so much nonsense."
