Chapter 573: The Son-in-law of King Xiang’s Mansion

The Heaven-Reaching Light Pillar blasted down, piercing and shattering the void in its path. Space collapsed in all directions, a testament to its terrifying Power of Destruction.

Forget a Yang Destruction Level expert; even a Third Layer Profound Level master would be instantly obliterated.

But to the crowd’s astonishment, Ye Wushuang showed no reaction at all.

His expression was as placid as a calm sky, perfectly composed.

The crowd couldn’t believe that Ye Wushuang could remain so unfazed in the face of such a terrifying, mortal crisis. They suspected he had given up all resistance.

"He’s so calm!"

The Celestial Prides of the Dragon List were all puzzled. Ye Wushuang was too calm—so calm it was unnerving.

It wasn’t that Ye Wushuang was incapable of resisting. He had trump cards. If he just played one, he could easily block this attack.

’But he didn’t. What is he planning?’

Everyone was confused, their eyes glued to the stage.

On the other side, Lady Xiangg was busy deflecting the attack aimed at her and had no time to intercept the one heading for Ye Wushuang.

The Heaven-Reaching Light Pillar was just too fast!

"General Hel, kill everyone here immediately! Leave no one alive!"

On the battle stage, the dark red Frenzied Lion spoke in a human voice, shouting at the pair of eyes in the sky as its beastly eyes glinted viciously.

’If I hadn’t come prepared, how could I have dared to come to King Xiangg City alone?’

Previously, the Beastman Empire had heard that the Great Emperor was hosting a recruitment event to rally the world’s powers against them.

That was why Mor Yan had come today: to use Lady Xiangg’s martial contest as a chance to scout out the situation in King Xiangg City.

He even planned to assassinate a few geniuses from the Grand Emperor Country.

But he never expected to run into Ye Wushuang right at the beginning, who completely ruined his plans.

At this thought, he glared coldly at Ye Wushuang. "Killing you will make this trip worthwhile!"

"Kill me? You really think too highly of yourself."

Ye Wushuang shook his head.

In that instant, he looked up at the firmament, his eyes suddenly sharpening. He uttered a single word to the void: "Kill!"

Kill!

The cold, merciless word echoed in everyone’s ears, incomparably domineering and powerful!

The crowd was momentarily dazed. It was as if Ye Wushuang were a supreme Emperor whose single command to "Kill" would leave a million corpses in its wake, with enough blood to float shields.

However, what no one in the crowd expected was that the moment Ye Wushuang spoke, three giant hands shot out from within King Xiangg City.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The three giant hands tore through the void. One of them instantly seized the Heaven-Reaching Light Pillar and crushed it.

The other two hands, meanwhile, shot toward the firmament, reaching for the pair of eyes.

"Three Nirvana Great Powers!"

The hearts of the crowd trembled as they stared at the giant hands that had appeared so abruptly.

With a single word, "Kill," Ye Wushuang had actually summoned three Nirvana Great Powers!

"Get out here!"

A cold voice boomed like a clap of thunder, shaking the very firmament. A moment later, a middle-aged man with an eagle-like nose was dragged out from behind the clouds!

"Die!"

Another cold voice thundered. The void around the eagle-nosed man collapsed as the Power of Heaven and Earth condensed into two Battle Sabers and slashed down at him.

"Perish!"

The eagle-nosed man’s face was a mask of terror. He thrust out his hands, sending two Heaven-Reaching Light Pillars to collide with the two Space Sabers, and they all dissipated in a flash of light.

"Begone!"

Just then, from another direction, a massive, sky-blotting Palm Seal rose up and slammed into the eagle-nosed man.

BAM!

Blood rained down from the firmament. The eagle-nosed man’s body fractured as he vomited mouthfuls of blood, sent flying out of King Xiangg City by the blow!

"Just you wait! The Beastman Empire will soon trample the Celestial Pass flat!"

A furious roar echoed from outside King Xiangg City before fading into silence.

The three hands vanished as well.

The crowd’s hearts, however, could not be still. Three Nirvana Realm experts attacking at once had completely dominated the Nirvana Great Power from the Beastman Empire!

And all of it had happened because a young man had uttered a single word: "Kill"!

All eyes turned to Ye Wushuang on the battle stage, any trace of condescension completely gone.

’They had no idea. If Ye Wushuang shouted "Kill" one more time, just how many more Nirvana Great Powers would appear?’

Ye Wushuang offered no explanation. He glanced at the firmament. ’Those three hands, of course, belonged to Elder Demon Bai, Old Monster Baili, and Xiang Zong’en.’

’They were right here in the crowd; I sensed their presence long ago.’

’It wasn’t just the three of them, either. There were people from Lingxiao Pavilion here, too.’

But why would he bother explaining it to anyone else? ’The unknown is what strikes fear into the hearts of one’s enemies.’

"Well? Your helper is gone now. Are you satisfied with this meager power of mine?"

Ye Wushuang taunted as he advanced with his Battle Saber in hand.

"If I’m dying, I’m taking you with me!"

A crazed light ignited in Mor Yan’s eyes. His massive body began to swell rapidly as a destructive energy brewed within him.

Self-destruction!

Ye Wushuang’s gaze turned cold. He lunged forward, and his Battle Saber came chopping down.

SQUELCH!

With a single slash, the Frenzied Lion’s body was torn asunder!

WHOOSH!

In that same instant, a streak of blood-red light shot out from the Frenzied Lion’s corpse and soared toward the horizon.

’I didn’t see that coming.’

"Ye Wushuang, I, Mor Yan, will remember this! You’d better pray you never set foot in the Beastman Empire, or I will repay this a hundred times over!"

A cold voice echoed from the horizon.

It was Mor Yan’s voice. He had actually escaped.

"What a strange technique."

Ye Wushuang was also slightly surprised; he clearly hadn’t anticipated that.

He wasn’t worried, though. ’If I can’t kill him in one try, I’ll just have to kill him a few more times. The end result is the same: death.’

"I will be paying the Beastman Empire a visit. And if you dare show your face again, my saber will erase you from existence!"

Ye Wushuang called out in response.

Then, he turned and looked down at the crowd, his gaze landing on the Dragon King and his group.

The Dragon King was surging with Battle Intent. He, too, desperately wanted to fight Ye Wushuang.

’But here in the Celestial Pass, my foundation isn’t stable yet. Clashing head-on with Ye Wushuang now would be unwise.’

"You and I will fight one day, but not today."

The Dragon King bit out the words, his sharp aura on full display. For a Celestial Pride, having a powerful rival was the best way to temper one’s Dao Heart.

The others didn’t make a move either. Just as the Dragon King had thought, their foundations in the Celestial Pass were still unstable. Their goal was to complete the trial’s requirements, marry the Princess, and become an heir to the Holy Country.

They had to carefully weigh the pros and cons.

As for the rest, even the mighty Mor Yan had been defeated, so what chance did they have?

After that, not a single person issued a challenge.

This made Ye Wushuang pause. He had only come up to the stage to save Dongfang Youdi, never imagining he would end up the final victor of the martial contest.

This development left a certain elegant figure in the crowd extremely displeased.

She huffed softly, turned on her heel, and left.

"The martial contest has concluded! The final victor is this Young Master Ye! From this day forward, he is the son-in-law of King Xiangg’s Mansion!"

Lady Xiangg said nothing. Instead, the spirited Guo Yurong stepped forward to make the announcement.

She shouted the words "son-in-law of King Xiangg’s Mansion" with particular force, as if making a grand declaration.

This caused the people from the Holy City to frown. It meant that Ye Wushuang would now have Lady Xiangg’s support in establishing a foothold in King Xiangg City.

"Let’s go."

The other Celestial Prides turned and departed. With Ye Wushuang establishing a foothold in King Xiangg City, they would have to consider the other cities of the Celestial Pass Thirteen Cities.
