…
It had been three months since the Zhang family was annihilated!
Zhao Yuling got in touch with the higher-ups of the Xia clan and gathered all the Demi-Kings who were resting in the house. She even secretly summoned the Demi-King elders who were guarding the borders, which seemed to be rather peaceful at the moment, in order to proceed smoothly as they deployed a stern arrangement. Then, they launched a massacre against the Mei clan.
It was a bloody scene and countless Mei clansmen who were hiding in the shadows were being ambushed. The families who had colluded with them were annihilated as well.
However, there were some of the Mei clansmen who were able to react to it and had escaped. No one knew where they had disappeared to as they had gone into hiding.
The most terrifying assault was when an Ultimate Demi-King of the Mei clan was hiding and he suddenly made a move and killed off one Demi-King of the Xia clan. Lots of fighters who joined the siege were killed and the scene was flowing with bloody streams.
That Ultimate Demi-King of the Mei clan was not recorded in the records of the Black Robe Protector and St. Wu Shuang. He was an elder of the Mei clan who had gone into hiding in the shadows. He was a protector in the shadows. Even most of the Mei clansmen did not know of his existence.
Him making a move had thrown the entire Xia clan in chaos.
The Topographical Diagram of the Kingdom unleashed the strongest siren. The three Ultimate Demi-King elders at the border were stunned and furious.
However, it was at that moment.
The Ultimate Demi-King of the Mei clan was furious when he learned about the huge scale massacre in the Mei clansmen. He let out a proclamation that he would take an eye for an eye.
Within the grounds of the Xia kingdom, he carried out a massacre.
He wanted those who were killed to keep the souls of the Mei clansmen accompanied.
He went all over the place and slaughtered.
Soon, he bumped into Zhao Yuling, who had brought along her men and was conducting a siege on a spot where the Mei clansmen were hiding.
Zhao Yuling was dressed in a white shirt and her hand was holding onto the Qingfeng sword that was three feet long.
She was looking at the giant bat that was giving out a demonic aura.
She was anxious.
Her opponent was an Ultimate Demi-King.
Deep within her, she knew she was just a Demi-King who just broke through.
They were separated by an entire rank.
Just like the difference between a Postcelestial fighter and a Precelestial Grandmaster.
The difference was disheartening.
That was the very basic perception.
“Hmph! Demi-King of the Xia clan. Little lady, you look young but you’re really talented! You have a bright future ahead. Right now, it would be a shame if you drop dead. I’ll give you a chance now. Surrender to me and you’ll be allowed to live on!”
Zhao Yuling’s sword art was a skill that Chu He had emphasized on teaching her. She had attained quite an impressive realm and her aura was concealed nicely.
This made the Ultimate Demi-King of the Mei clan unable to identify any flaws. He guessed her realm solely based on the point that she had light footwork.
After all, only a Demi-King or higher could walk in the air.
He could clearly see that Zhao Yuling was very young. Hence, he was guessing she was a Demi-King.
He was thrilled when he bumped into his prey and did not rush to seek revenge for his clansmen. He wanted to make Zhao Yuling surrender to him and become his servant.
Perhaps in the future, he could make the Mei clan procure another Ultimate Demi-King as their fighter.
That would be able to make up for the loss of the few prodigies and the death of the protectors.
Besides, when he was in need in the future, he could even enjoy having fun as well.
It was a win-win situation.
“You want me to surrender to you? Dream on!”
Zhao Yuling’s voice was cold and her expression was determined.
Her sense of battle had started flaring up. Even though she knew she would not be able to defeat him, she never considered begging for her life.
“Oh really?”
“Hmph!”
The elder of the Mei clan let out a cold snort.
“You know nothing about strength and you’ll never come to know it. Wait till you’ve experienced how great I am, only then make your choice! I’ll still give you one more chance! This is the special treatment for a prodigy! Be grateful to me!”
“Now, I’ll let you witness the true strength of an Ultimate Demi-King!”
Then, he launched a claw toward Zhao Yuling aggressively.
In that split second, the mystifying aura around his body was solidified and formed a circular demonic claw that was more than 30 meters in radius. It was rushing toward the place where Zhao Yuling was standing.
The space seemed to be about to split apart with that claw attack.
Those fighters who followed Zhao Yuling stood on the ground and lifted their heads to look at the sky with a terrified expression.
That claw was not targeting them, but even watching it from afar made them astonished, as though they were watching a natural disaster unfolding.
Such a horrifying strength displayed before them made them look like weaklings.
“Attack!”
Zhao Yuling’s expression was serious and she raised her alertness.
That was the first time she bumped into such an overwhelming and shocking attack.
For reasons unknown, she did not have the feeling of dread that she was in a life-threatening situation.
She did not fumble like how she imagined herself she would. Instead, her fighting spirit was hyped up.
Currently, that was not the important thing.
The most important thing right now was to take down that attack.
Even though she did not have much confidence, she was also not the type to give in and allow herself to be captured.
Zhao Yuling made a move by swinging her sword.
Twenty Three Sword Art!
That was the skill passed on to her by Chu He and was also her most powerful offensive skill.
As a swordswoman, Zhao Yuling was not good in defense. Hence, she chose to attack as a means to defend.
She gave her all to the attack and used up all the strength that she could summon.
The space had 23 gigantic sword projections appearing. One after another, they gave off an increasingly powerful aura!
The sharp roar of the swords shocked the sky and it was the will of the sword that was terrifying. It rose up to the sky and suppressed the entire earth!
The sword ray flashed passed and the overwhelming demonic claw collapsed immediately, spreading the evil aura in every direction.
The plot twist was so shocking that the elder of the Mei clan was unable to react to it.
“F*ck!”
His eyes widened and he shouted!
His powerful attack seemed like it was nothing more than a pretty display and it seemed so useless. It just collapsed at the first touch.
The sword ray broke the demonic claw. It took a turn and fell onto him with its power not reduced the slightest bit. The stern will of the sword was terrifying, making the elder of the Mei clan shout subconsciously, but he could not gather up the strength to defend at the first moment.
Under his terrified gaze, the 23 sword aura congregated on him from front and back and slashed his body aggressively.
The elder of the Mei clan, who initially had a body full of evil aura, suddenly became a defeated figure. Fresh black blood was spilling everywhere. The aura on his body was scattered. He was unable to remain standing in mid-air and crashed to the ground.
Zhao Yuling stood on the spot, absent-minded and suddenly forgot to charge forth to continue attacking.
She blinked her eyes and looked at her hands and the sword she was holding at the same time.
‘What the hell is going on?’
‘That guy, isn’t he an Ultimate Demi-King?’
Currently, she was more dumbfounded than the elder of the Mei clan.
Her attack from earlier, even though it was an offensive stance, she just wanted to defend herself. ‘How did it easily disperse that Mei clan elder’s terrifying demonic claw?’
‘And the remaining power was not diminished at all, and immediately stunned him!’
‘Could it be that this Mei clan elder was just putting up an act? He may seem scary but in fact, he is just a weakling?’
Zhao Yuling could not comprehend it. She was very curious and got down to the ground.
“How… how is this possible?”
The Mei clan elder was not dead yet. The life force of an Ultimate Demi-King was quite tough.
However, even if he was not dead, he was paralyzed. After dropping on the ground heavily, many bones throughout his body were fractured and he was spilling black blood from numerous places. The evil aura around him was dispersing as well.
He widened his eyes, finding it hard to believe.
He was knocked out by another in a split second!
He recalled the will of the sword that he did not manage to react to before it engulfed his entire body.
He gazed at Zhao Yuling who was flying to him. He suddenly thought of something!
“You, you’re a King!”
The Mei clan elder exclaimed with a voice that almost seemed suffocating.
‘It all makes sense if she’s really a King!’
‘Damn it!’
He was careless. If he knew his opponent was a King, if only he had prepared better, he could still escape.
He was an Ultimate Demi-King at the very least. He could still put up a fight against a King who just broke through.
Even if he could not take her down, he could still escape!
Earlier when he launched his attack, he did not use the full force and only thought of scaring Zhao Yuling, hoping to make her surrender.
In the end!
He was tricked!
His opponent was a wolf in sheep’s clothing!
She used her full force while he was being careless, and finished him off, not allowing him to escape!
