Chapter 32 - Slay the King
“Not good!”
The Qi Refinement Warriors sitting by both sides of the King of Yan stood up suddenly. Their countenances changed greatly.
It was extremely dangerous!
Suddenly, this seemingly weak and frail scholar had changed into a different person. The aura that he emanated made the four Qi Refinement Warriors terror-stricken.
Such was already the case for the Qi Refinement Warriors, much less the rest of the people in the main hall. Some of the civil officials were so frightened that they dropped to the ground, paralyzed and numb.
“Bang!”
Both Su Zimo’s feet landed on the floor and gave out a deafening thud. The floor laid with gold bricks split on impact, causing a long and huge crack to appear on it. Below the cracks was like a dark and spooky hell that emitted a cold and sinister aura.
The Qi Refinement Warrior had wound his own spirit qi around the flying sword to control the weapon. He could direct the sword with his hands for the purpose of attacking or defending.
However, how powerful was the Bovine-tongued Saber?
Under the wrapping, the spirit qi of the flying sword dissipated instantly.
Su Zimo flipped his hand and threw the sword away!
Poof!
The flying sword pierced through the chest of the Qi Refinement Warrior and drew out a streak of blood. Unhindered, it pierced into the wall of the main hall ruthlessly, the blade trembling nonstop.
The entire process seemed slow when narrated but it occurred very quickly.
From the moment that the Qi Refinement Warrior took action to the point where the sword pierced through his body, it took less than the moment of a breath!
This man’s expression was dazed, his eyes filled with disbelief and losing focus as he landed on the floor with a loud thud.
“Psst!”
The remaining three Qi Refinement Warriors gasped and took a few steps back instinctively. They were trying to distance themselves from Su Zimo.
If the earlier sword from Su Zimo was thrown towards any of them, none of them could have dodged it.
The speed of that sword was completely beyond their response time.
“Hurry. Go and notify Senior Brother Liu for reinforcements!”
One of the three Qi Refinement Warriors looked terrified. He dashed towards the back of the main hall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
To the King of Yan, these few moments of breath seemed a hundred years long.
They had failed!
Even the Qi Refinement Warriors failed when they took actions.
All this while, the long saber on the neck of the King of Yan had never left him by an inch.
Su Zimo lowered his head slightly and whispered into the ears of King of Yan, “Zhao Qian, do you know that… the moment that I stepped into the palace, you were already a dead man. If I say that I will kill you, no one can save you even when you search high and low for a savior.”
There was pin-drop silence in the wide and spacious main hall!
Seemingly, everyone had been stunned by an individual’s aura and kept mum out of fear.
Su Zimo’s voice was not loud. It was light and calm, as if he was chatting with the King of Yan. However, behind this voice, everyone could feel the murderous intent that made one’s heart shudder!
The King of Yan was shivering with fear all over. His teeth clattered loudly nonstop.
“Zhao Qian, you don’t need to be afraid. It is just one slash. There won’t be any pain.”
Su Zimo’s gaze was icy cold. He said word by word, “I will send you on the road to apologize to my parents!”
Poof!
The large head of the King of Yan had been cut off by Su Zimo in one slash. He was holding it in his hands.
Even upon his death, the King of Yan’s eyes were popped out wide and filled with horror. In fact, before the slash, the King of Yan had already died of fear.
He had been frightened till death when he was alive!
Ta! Ta! Ta!
Successive footsteps could be heard coming from outside the palace. The Imperial Army of the Kingdom of Yan had already rushed here.
Su Zimo tied the King of Yan’s head on his waist and surveyed the surroundings. Shaking the long saber in his hands and exuding a murderous aura, he said coldly, “The King of Yan is already dead. Anyone who stops me shall not be spared!”
