Chapter 474: Two Divine Weapons in Hand!
Zhou Yu Defeated by One Emperor with Three Swords!
Kai Xin was slightly shocked by this news: Zhou Yu’s strength was already quite remarkable—he ranked second on the Dragon List. Whether in terms of equipment or strength, or his ability to sense wind and direction as shown in the battle at Wan’an Temple, he had reached the standards of a top expert!
Kai Xin wondered if it was possible to defeat Zhou Yu in just three moves… No, that seemed impossible.
But “One Emperor” surely wouldn’t stoop to such a trivial joke.
“…”
Staring in the direction where “One Emperor” had disappeared, Kai Xin’s heart remained restless for a long time.
Zhou Yu’s strength was excellent. In his past life, he would definitely have been on par with the “Three Kings,” and might even surpass the “Two Queens.”
Yet such a person couldn’t withstand “One Emperor’s” three swords. This showed just how powerful “One Emperor” really was!
Half a year—this was the time “One Emperor” had given him to prepare.
Perhaps in “One Emperor’s” eyes, although he also possessed the spirit of swordsmanship, he was still far behind him and at the same level as Zhou Yu. That’s why he gave him half a year to acquire The Wumu Mystery Book and The Nine Yin Manual to compete with him!
What an “One Emperor”! Who else but him would willingly hand over two peerless martial arts classics? Was there anyone in the martial world more arrogant and aloof than him?
“…”
“One Emperor’s” departure not only filled Kai Xin’s heart with fervent fighting spirit but also strengthened his resolve to complete the mission and help Zhou Zhiruo obtain the Heaven-Supporting Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Blade.
He must get The Wumu Mystery Book and The Nine Yin Manual at all costs!
With this determination, Kai Xin returned to the cave with a heavy heart…
Whoosh!
A person rushed out of the cave quickly, passing by Kai Xin at a fast speed.
But Kai Xin reacted even faster. With a glance, he saw the person—holding the Heaven-Supporting Sword of the Emei Sect in one hand and the Dragon-Slaying Blade that Xie Xun never left behind in the other.
“Stop!”
Almost reflexively, Kai Xin’s gaze sharpened, and his hands flipped into a grasping position—the Dragon-Seizing Hands!
After reaching the Life and Death Realm, when using the “True Dragon Ten Styles,” even experts at the Liberation Realm could no longer escape the pulling force of the Dragon-Seizing Hands, unless they used ultimate techniques to counter.
The one who stole the Heaven-Supporting Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Blade was none other than Zhao Min, who planned to take these two peerless divine weapons back to the Ruyang Royal Mansion in the Central Plains!
Zhao Min’s cultivation was only at the Liberation Realm, and she was physically weak—how could she be a match for Kai Xin?
“Ah!”
With a cry, Zhao Min was immediately captured. Happy didn’t dare to delay any longer and, taking advantage of her loss of resistance, swiftly seized the Sword of Heaven and the Dragon Slaying Knife, then sent Zhao Min flying with a palm strike.
“The Dragon Slaying Knife has never left the hands of Senior Xie Xun, and the Sword of Heaven is the sacred treasure of the Emei Sect. How could Miss Zhou hand them over to you? Speak! What have you done to Senior Xie and Miss Zhou?”
Zhao Min never expected that her hasty move would still end up in Happy’s hands!
Seeing Happy pick up the Sword of Heaven and the Dragon Slaying Knife, Zhao Min instead smiled calmly, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. “Young Hero Happy, since you’re so worried about Miss Zhou, why not go in and check for yourself?”
“No need!” Facing Zhao Min, Happy didn’t dare be careless. He replied calmly, “Miss Zhao is full of cunning. I think we’d better stay here and wait for Master Zhang to come and settle this fairly.” With that, he let out a long whistle, his internal energy surging through the sky and echoing above Lingshe Island.
Happy knew that most of the people inside were likely unconscious due to the drug, but Zhang Wuji shouldn’t be among them. Yet, entering rashly could mean Zhao Min might devise some trick.
“Hmph.”
Zhao Min came up with another plan after her first failed attempt!
With a quick glance, she suddenly leaped up and rushed toward the cave.
What trick was she planning now?
The Dragon Seizing Hand!
Happy didn’t hesitate and used the Dragon Seizing Hand to capture her, but Zhao Min moved first, darting through the air and narrowly avoiding it.
“Huh!”
Happy’s brows tightened. Determined not to let it go, he quickly sent a palm strike from afar. Zhao Min let out a muffled groan and tumbled into the cave, followed closely by him.
After falling softly into the cave, Zhao Min immediately collapsed into a coma.
A faint, strange fragrance filled the air.
No good!
Happy froze for a moment, quickly holding his breath and using his internal energy to check his own condition.
It was fine.
Zhao Min hadn’t used that terrifying poison, Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder. Even after smelling it slightly, he felt no discomfort. His internal energy was strong, with no signs of exhaustion or impairment.
But…
Zhao Min was cunning. Those two palm strikes surely couldn’t have seriously injured her, yet she pretended to be unconscious. Instantly, a sense of dread rose in his heart.
Turning around, he saw Xie Xun, Zhou Zhiruo, and Xiao Zhao—all unconscious on the ground—beginning to regain consciousness under the influence of that strange fragrance!
Xie Xun, with his strong internal energy, woke up as soon as the effect of the drug weakened. He opened his eyes and sat up abruptly!
His empty hands reached out instinctively, but instead of the Dragon Slaying Sword he had relied on for so many years, a terrifyingly powerful force surged forth:
“The sword!”
“My sword!!”
“Who stole my Dragon Slaying Sword! You wretched scoundrel!!!”
As he spoke, seemingly regaining his hearing, an astonishing palm strike rushed toward Happy, the only one in range still possessing a warrior’s aura.
Fortunately, without the Dragon Slaying Sword, Xie Xun’s mere palm strength was something Happy could still handle.
In the form of a little dragon, he dodged the palm strike.
Boom!!!
A huge crater appeared in the stone wall, and the cave trembled violently.
“Elder Xie, calm down! It’s me, Happy!”
Happy hurriedly spoke, yet he dared not return Xie Xun’s Dragon Slaying Sword right away—who knew if giving it away would calm down this nearly berserk Golden Lion King?
“It’s you! Why poisoned me and stole my Dragon Slaying Sword?”
As Happy dodged, Xie Xun, with his keen senses, still caught the sound of the sword cutting through the air. His aged face grew even more ferocious:
“Good!”
“So you followed that girl Zhou Zhiruo to get close to old me just for this Dragon Slaying Sword! Today, I’ll crush your evil ambitions!!”
Roar!!!
With a furious cry, Xie Xun clenched his fists and, without hesitation, unleashed the Seven Wounds Fist right in front of Happy.
A wild and domineering palm force quickly gathered, casting an astonishing threat of death over Happy!
Damn it!
Happy’s expression changed drastically.
Xie Xun, this mad Lion King, was truly unreasonable and extremely irritable. Thankfully, he hadn’t given away the Dragon Slaying Sword earlier; otherwise, he would likely be facing not just the Seven Wounds Fist but also Xie Xun and the precious sword!
“Elder Xie, listen to me! I’ll definitely return the sword…”
As he spoke, a palm strike that compressed the space in the cave rushed toward him.
Faster than lightning!!!
Xie Xun’s Seven Wounds Fist was different from that of the Five Elders of Kongtong—how could Happy dare to block it head-on?
He darted away.
The form of a little dragon came in handy once again.
Boom!!!
After enduring two consecutive palm strikes from Xie Xun, the cave could no longer hold—stones kept collapsing.
“Not good!” Happy’s face changed, and he quickly hugged the nearest Zhou Zhiruo, rushing out of the cave. “Elder Xie, the cave is collapsing! Save people first!!”
Although furious, Xie Xun wasn’t so foolish as to ignore the other two weak auras in the cave. He quickly grabbed Zhao Min and Xiao Zhao and rushed out as well.
Outside the cave!
While Happy was rescuing Zhou Zhiruo, a familiar, soft voice reached his ears:
“Youth Happy, take the Heaven-Piercing Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sword… and go!”
Zhou Zhiruo regained consciousness.
The system alert sound rang in Happy’s ears at the same time!
