The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1793: Blade and Sword
Previously on The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife...
"Seems like you’re not planning to cooperate." Tang Can turned to look at Chen Yuxin.
"Mr. Chen, do his words represent your Chen family?"
"My words don’t represent the Chen family." Before Chen Yuxin could answer, Ye Shikai interjected, "My words represent no one but myself."
"I’ll give you two choices: One, obediently step aside and don’t obstruct me, or two, I’ll take you all out." Ye Shikai’s shocking words left the Tang and Wang families stunned. Such a threat from a single person was unprecedented, especially with no room for negotiation. From Ye Shikai’s perspective, either these families abandon the treasure or... abandon their lives.
"Boy, you’re far too arrogant." Wang Lian was furious. When had the Wang family ever been threatened like this, especially by a young man in his twenties? As the family master, if he remained silent now, the Wang family would surely become a laughing stock among the Huaxia clans.
"Kai, be careful." Chen Yuxin cautioned, but even before she finished speaking, Wang Lian had already rushed forward, drawing his sword to stab at Ye Shikai.
Bam.
The two powers collided, and Ye Shikai stepped back a few paces. The sword in Wang Lian’s hand must also be a renowned sword, and his Inner Strength was unbelievably domineering. But Ye Shikai was not afraid; if it was about being domineering and fierce, the sword of Bai Qi, once known as "Human Slaughter," would not fear it either.
Mobilizing Inner Strength, Ye Shikai counterattacked with his sword, and their blades clashed once more. For a moment, the powerful shockwave forced thousands of bystanders to take a step back, and Ye Shikai and Wang Lian were also shaken apart.
"Indeed, Wang Family Master, you do have some skills, but... still lacking." Ye Shikai sneered coldly and took out the Fire Element from his Storage Ring.
"Watch this move."
The Fire Element transformed into nine fireballs like small suns, circling around the two of them, seemingly alive, continuously bombarding Wang Lian. The scorching heat turned his collar and hem into ashes. Even a seasoned cultivator could not endure the relentless searing of the Fire Element for long.
"Such a powerful treasure, how could it end up in the hands of this young man?" People among the Wang and Tang families were discussing. Few knew that Ye Shikai was affiliated with the Netherworld King. In their eyes, Ye Shikai should be just the son-in-law of the Chen family living off of them. But today’s battle completely changed their perception. With such strong abilities, he could easily establish his own sect. Some even speculated that Chen Yuxin married him to gain such an unparalleled master.
"Yes, who would have thought someone so young could be this powerful."
"Is this what you call a treasure? Let me show you something." Ye Shikai then took out the Netherworld King’s Helmet, which he had acquired by chance. After using it, he could become invisible. He generally used it while lurking, but in battle, it was also extremely formidable.
"Look, that guy disappeared."
"Where did he go?"
Ye Shikai’s sudden disappearance shocked everyone. Even Chen Yuxin was surprised, and Wang Lian dared not let his guard down. He could feel Ye Shikai’s presence right next to him, like a shadow.
"Behind!"
Wang Lian quickly turned around but still acted a bit late. In the moment he drew his sword, You Xi’s sword had already pierced his shoulder. With a cry of surprise, Wang Lian staggered back.
"I’ll help you." Seeing this, Tang Can also came to assist. Two family heads teaming up against a young man in his twenties – such a situation was unheard of before.
"Good." Ye Shikai removed the Netherworld King’s Helmet, revealing his True Body. Wang Lian was already injured. Invisibility made it difficult for opponents to find him, but Tang Can and Wang Lian were both experts in the Body Integration Realm, able to detect and locate by aura alone.
"Come, fight again." Ye Shikai held his sword, taunting.
"Master, I’m coming."
"I’m joining too."
Over seventy elders from the two families rushed out, surrounding Ye Shikai. All were experts at the Divine Separation stage, wielding various magical artifacts and weapons. Such a lineup to besiege one person was a truly rare sight.
"Quick, go help him." Chen Yuxin, worried that Ye Shikai might struggle against them all, urged Feng Ling and Xue Ming to intervene, but they were blocked by members of the Wang and Tang families, leading to a tense standoff.
"Fine, then today I’ll just massacre."
"Blade Spirit, should be no problem this time, right?" Ye Shikai asked the Blade Spirit in his mind.
"Give it a try. With your current abilities, it shouldn’t be a problem."
"Alright."
"Everyone, attack, kill him." Wang Lian shouted, and dozens of elders immediately charged at him.
"Netherworld Blade, arise."
The sky darkened, clouds gathered, and a long blade emitting a purple glow appeared in Ye Shikai’s left hand.
Rumble.
Thunder roared in the sky, and at the same time, the ground beneath Ye Shikai cracked, dust flying. Dozens of Divine Separation elders were all blasted by an energy wave, flung several meters away.
The You Xi Sword was known worldwide, but the Netherworld Blade was a weapon of the Main God Realm, and due to its immense power, it could backfire if the user wasn’t strong enough. Thus, Ye Shikai rarely used it, keeping it as a trump card.
"What kind of weapon is that?"
"Never seen it before."
Everyone was discussing, even Tang Can and Wang Lian were unaware of the Netherworld Blade’s origins. They saw it emitting a purple-black glow, which paired well with the You Xi sword in his right hand. According to the Blade Spirit, the Netherworld Blade contained spirits and was a weapon with life. Its murderous and resentful nature was heavy. Given Ye Shikai’s previous skills, it was hard to wield, or rather, it required a price to use it. The You Xi Sword, being Qin General Bai Qi’s sword, was known for slaughter, and countless had died under it, making it heavily infused with murderous aura. Though the two weapons were not from the same source, they shared similar traits.
Ye Shikai wielded both weapons simultaneously, the two energies coursing through his body, not colliding but constantly merging...
"Who exactly is this person, and why does he have such weapons?"
"It doesn’t matter, attack!"
"You’re courting death." Ye Shikai opened his eyes, suddenly disappearing from sight. In just a blink, he appeared amidst the crowd.
Slash.
Aaaah.
In just a few seconds, more than twenty Divine Separation elders were slain by Ye Shikai’s swords, facing no resistance, as effortlessly as slicing through vegetables.
