"Crash!"
The king swung the long sword in his hand, and a blade as vast as the sky suddenly appeared in mid-air. As it descended with a thunderous roar, the surrounding air shattered, emitting piercing sounds!
Facing the king’s overbearing slash, Ye Xunhuan and the others didn’t choose to confront it directly but swiftly evaded to the side!
"Crack!"
As the sword landed, the ground trembled violently, and a huge crack appeared, resembling the aftermath of an earthquake.
Although the slash did not harm Ye Xunhuan and the others, the vast and fierce blade’s aura began to spread wildly in all directions.
"Ye Xunhuan, are you only capable of dodging now?" the king snarled grimly, "If you have the guts, come and face me head-on, I’ll take on three at once!"
"King, you’re about to die; we have no reason to accompany you!" Ye Xunhuan said coldly, "Exhausting you to death is also a good option!"
At present, confronting the king head-on is utterly reckless.
After all, Olivia has succeeded, and the king’s time is limited, so why risk it?
Moreover, even if they fight desperately and manage to kill the king quickly, they might still end up injured or, worse, lose their lives.
Therefore, Ye Xunhuan feels that wearing down the king is more realistic, and this way, the king will also report to the underworld.
At this moment, what the king least wants is for Ye Xunhuan to drag things out, yet Ye Xunhuan insists on doing so, making the tyrannical aura in the king’s heart continuously rise.
"Ye Xunhuan, if you want to wear me out, let’s see if you have what it takes!"
As he finished speaking, the king pushed off the ground, charging towards Ye Xunhuan like a leopard on the African savannah.
Ye Xunhuan is the king here and the person the king wants to kill with all his might. Furthermore, the king knows if Ye Xunhuan faces mortal danger, Olivia will not stand idly by. As for the demon king, although his grasp of the situation is uncertain, taking either Ye Xunhuan or Olivia along to the underworld is favorable.
Thus, the king charged straight at Ye Xunhuan.
Seeing the king coming at him like an arrow with unstoppable force, Ye Xunhuan’s eyes narrowed instantly, shooting out a gleam!
The next moment, before the king reached him, Ye Xunhuan swirled the sharp sword in his hand, and several sword flowers appeared in mid-air, then rushed toward the king like brilliant fireworks.
The king, seeing this, snorted coldly, swiftly swinging out his long sword.
...
Meanwhile, after being taken away, Qiu Ruoxi and the others were all gathered together.
Usually, if gathered with women like Su Guyan, Qiu Ruoxi would certainly be displeased and likely give them a frosty reaction.
But now, Qiu Ruoxi did not react that way.
Perhaps it’s because today is her wedding day, or maybe she’s worried about Ye Xunhuan deep down.
Before the wedding, Qiu Ruoxi had seen the king, and Ye Xunhuan had already clashed with him. Although Ye Xunhuan didn’t say anything now, Qiu Ruoxi could guess that Ye Xunhuan would likely settle things with the king.
Otherwise, Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t have needed to send everyone away one by one.
Even Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong left.
Although she already guessed the reason in her heart, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t voice it.
Because they are here with Wang’s mom and Wang Zilin, Qiu Ruoxi fears that if she reveals it, Wang’s mom might run out recklessly to see what’s happening.
Who knows what might happen when Wang’s mom witnesses the fierce battle? Would she remain unmoved?
After all, Wang’s mom once deeply loved the king and gave birth to a daughter for him!
Could she bear to watch the king die here?
As for Ye Xunhuan’s safety, Qiu Ruoxi hasn’t considered it, since this place belongs to Ye Xunhuan, with people loyal to him everywhere; what could possibly happen?
If Ye Xunhuan were somehow killed here, that would indeed be a mystery!
While not worried about Ye Xunhuan’s life or death, Qiu Ruoxi is concerned he might get injured, appearing somewhat absent-minded.
As the saying goes, knowledge of one’s children comes from their father, and knowledge of one’s daughter comes from their mother!
Despite Qiu Ruoxi’s efforts to hide her emotions, Xiahou Yutong still noticed.
After noticing Qiu Ruoxi’s odd behavior, Xiahou Yutong found an excuse to pull her into a room alone.
"Is there something you need, mom?" Qiu Ruoxi asked, pretending to be indifferent.
"Ruoxi, are you hiding something from us?" Xiahou Yutong approached the subject directly.
"What could I possibly hide from you?" Qiu Ruoxi slowly revealed a faint smile.
"Ruoxi, I watched you grow up; you’re my daughter. Do you think I don’t understand you?" Xiahou Yutong said softly, "There’s something in your heart, and while inside, your gaze shifts between calmness and anxiety..."
"Also, you keep glancing towards the door, like you’re waiting for someone!"
Indeed, Xiahou Yutong’s observations were so keen that she even noticed these subtleties about Qiu Ruoxi.
"Mom..."
"Are you waiting for Xunhuan?"
Qiu Ruoxi fell silent.
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi’s silence, Xiahou Yutong asked again, "Did something happen?"
Qiu Ruoxi remained silent.
"Speak up, what’s happening? Are you trying to worry me sick?"
Qiu Ruoxi took a deep breath, saying, "Mom, I saw the king!"
The king!
The reputation precedes him; hearing those two words made Xiahou Yutong’s expression change immediately.
"Are you sure?"
Qiu Ruoxi nodded, "Yes, the king somehow infiltrated, and even clashed with Xunhuan, but was later stopped by Olivia!"
"But I know, given such a good opportunity to eliminate the king, Xunhuan and the others wouldn’t let it go. Bringing us here is likely because he wants to settle things with the king!"
"Then why bring us here? Could we possibly interfere..."
"Mom, he might be worried others would take advantage amid the chaos!" Qiu Ruoxi explained for Ye Xunhuan, "This is the safest place!"
"No, I must ask your father and your grandfather to go out and see, lest something actually happens." Xiahou Yutong said immediately.
Regarding the king, Xiahou Yutong is not unfamiliar, knowing exactly what kind of person he is and how formidable he can be.
If by any chance Ye Xunhuan can’t withstand it, at least someone can help him!
