Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

Seeing that Elder Ouyang’s killing intent had been roused, Ye Wushuang was not afraid. He watched him calmly and said, "Don’t be in such a hurry. Before I die, I’d like to get something straight."

Elder Ouyang’s eyes narrowed, and he suddenly sneered. "Are you trying to ask why I’m here?"

Ye Wushuang said coolly, "Elder Ouyang, you’re guarding the eighth floor. I assume it’s not just to protect the City Lord’s Order and secure the Ouyang Family’s position as City Lord. You must have another purpose, right?"

"You’re very clever!" Elder Ouyang didn’t deny it, acting as if he wasn’t worried about Ye Wushuang pulling any tricks. He said, "I don’t mind telling you. I’m guarding this eighth floor not only to protect the City Lord Token, but also to kill the juniors of your Ye Family and the Luo Family. I’m here to sever your roots and then exterminate both your families."

"So that’s how it is!" Ye Wushuang’s gaze hardened. He was startled by the Ouyang Family’s scheme. To monopolize power in Blood Jade City, Ouyang Badao actually planned to wipe out both the Luo and Ye families!

"Now that you understand, you can die." A murderous glint flashed in Elder Ouyang’s eyes.

"It is time for someone to die, but it won’t be me," Ye Wushuang said coolly. Before Elder Ouyang could make a move, a token wreathed in lightning shot out from his palm, speeding toward the old man.

"You dare to resist, you ant!" Elder Ouyang sneered. With a wave of his hand, a beam of True Essence Light shot through the air, blasting toward the Evil Moon Thunder Order!

At this, Ye Wushuang smiled.

RUMBLE!

The instant his smile bloomed, the Evil Moon Thunder Order shuddered violently. Endless silver-white lightning erupted from it, descending like a Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation to envelop Elder Ouyang. The brilliant bolts danced like wild silver snakes, crackling as they exploded in the void.

"This is...!"

Seeing this, Elder Ouyang’s expression changed drastically. He roared in shock and anger, "You bastard! You set me up!"

RUMBLE!

Elder Ouyang immediately shot backward in retreat!

"I warned you. It’s too late to run now!"

The cold words left Ye Wushuang’s lips as the endless lightning began a frenzied bombardment of Elder Ouyang!

BANG!

BANG!

Elder Ouyang deployed several layers of defense to block the assault, but the Evil Moon Thunder Order was powerful enough to kill anyone below the Spiritual Spring Realm. He was no exception, and he immediately suffered the consequences.

One bolt of lightning after another, like furious whips, slammed into Elder Ouyang, blasting him dozens of meters away. He crashed heavily to the ground, his body occasionally spasming as arcs of electricity danced across it.

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang casually wiped his nose and walked over.

Elder Ouyang was not yet dead, but after being thoroughly battered by the lightning, his body was too stiff to move.

"You damned ant, I should have struck first... COUGH, COUGH!" Elder Ouyang was filled with endless regret. He tried to say more but only coughed up blood, the words catching in his throat. He could only stare at Ye Wushuang with venomous hatred.

"An ant?" Hearing this, Ye Wushuang gave a mocking smile. "You, so powerful, now find your life in the hands of this ’ant’. Do you even have the right to use that word?"

SHING!

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Ancient Sword was drawn like a flash of lightning, instantly piercing through Elder Ouyang’s heart!

The world was vast, filled with experts as numerous as trees in a forest. Even a Nirvana Powerhouse with heaven-defying abilities wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant. And yet, a mere cultivator at the True Essence Ninth Layer had acted high and mighty, disdaining Ye Wushuang as an ant and calling him arrogant. Who was the truly arrogant one?

Ye Wushuang’s eyes were icy as he sheathed his Ancient Sword and retrieved a Purple Jade Token from Elder Ouyang’s corpse.

This Purple Jade Token was the City Lord’s Order!

"Ouyang Family!"

Ye Wushuang gazed at the City Lord’s Order, a glint of killing intent in his eyes.

After putting away the City Lord’s Order, Ye Wushuang turned toward the passage to the ninth floor.

Since the eighth floor had no Tower Spirit, Ye Wushuang located the entrance to the ninth floor with a simple sweep of his Divine Sense.

He walked over but did not enter, standing before the passage and watching it silently.

Although the passage looked identical to the previous ones, it held an additional air of mystery and the unknown.

’What’s on the ninth floor? Why does everyone say it holds an unparalleled danger?’ Ye Wushuang wondered. ’Should I go see for myself?’

The reason he had come up this far was to uncover the secrets of the ninth floor and gain control of the Void Saber Tower.

After all, his father was now in control of the Ye Family. If he could control the Void Saber Tower and hand it over to his father, it would be a great help in ensuring the Ye Family’s rise.

Although he had no fond feelings for the Ye Family, it was ultimately his father’s foundation. That alone was enough for him to forget everything that had happened before.

’I have to try, if only for my father’s sake.’ After standing there for half a breath, Ye Wushuang let out a heavy sigh, his mind made up!

He stepped into the corridor and headed for the ninth floor.

To guard against unknown dangers, he activated his Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body. Countless streams of Dragon-Shaped Qi began to course around him, granting his physical body durability on par with the Spiritual Artifact Level.

Not only that, but he also activated the Evil Moon Thunder Order, which hovered protectively in front of him.

With that, Ye Wushuang took a step inside, and what greeted him was a field of absolute darkness!

But the darkness was filled with an endless, sharp Killing Power!

SWOOSH!

Suddenly, a piercing flash of saber light shot out from the darkness. Like a bolt of lightning, it carried an endless Saber Intent as it cleaved through the air, incomparably domineering!

This flash of saber light was fast—impossibly fast!

It seemed to flash once, as if traversing the void itself, and in the next instant, it appeared right before Ye Wushuang with extreme abruptness!

Ye Wushuang’s expression changed drastically as a sense of mortal danger rose in his heart. He had no doubt that if he didn’t block it, he would be sliced in two.

CRACK!

He hurriedly activated the Evil Moon Thunder Order to block in front of him.

The flash of saber light flickered and then slammed heavily into the Evil Moon Thunder Order. With a loud BANG, a violent impact sent Ye Wushuang flying out of the ninth floor.

SKID! SKID! SKID!

His body landed back at the entrance on the eighth floor. He stumbled back more than ten steps before steadying himself, a surge in his aura causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"It’s Saber Intent!"

Ye Wushuang’s heart trembled. The moment he’d stepped into the ninth floor, he had felt an endless Saber Intent, as if he had entered a world made of sabers!

So this was the secret of the ninth floor!

Now he finally understood why no one dared to enter the ninth floor, why everyone kept their distance. The terrifying Saber Intent was simply too bizarre and horrifying. With the slightest misstep, even a True Essence Powerhouse would die filled with regret!

’Saber Intent?’

’Void Saber Monarch?’

Ye Wushuang repeated the two terms in his mind, making a connection. ’Could there be a link between them?’

’I’ll try again!’

The more questions he had, the more curious Ye Wushuang became. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, refusing to admit defeat. Gritting his teeth, he stepped inside once more.

SWOOSH!

This time, two beams of saber light shot through the air to kill him. But Ye Wushuang was prepared. He sent the Evil Moon Thunder Order crashing forward while simultaneously using Floating Light and Shadow to dodge.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

As he moved, endless Saber Intent cleaved down, clashing with his Dragon-Shaped Qi and producing the sound of ringing metal. The Saber Intent was relentless, and the Dragon-Shaped Qi began to dim.

Ye Wushuang hurriedly channeled the power from the eighty-one Qi Vortexes in his Dantian throughout his body. The Dragon-Shaped Qi instantly grew stronger, forming a halo of ten thousand swirling dragons that enveloped him and blocked the Saber Intent.

However, it seemed things were just getting started.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

In the next instant, countless more terrifying beams of saber light flashed out of the darkness one after another, cleaving down on Ye Wushuang. The sense of mortal danger was overwhelming!

"Fuck! There’s more!"

Seeing more and more of the terrifyingly murderous saber lights, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but curse out loud and immediately prepared to retreat to the eighth floor.

But just as he turned, a transparent saber shadow, wrapped in endless saber light, suddenly shot out of the darkness, only to bizarrely vanish back into it a moment later.

In less than a breath’s time, this bizarre saber shadow had already flashed into existence right in front of Ye Wushuang—it was utterly uncanny!
