Chapter 49: I Warned You, Those Who Crossed the Line Would Die

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Don’t even think about it!”

Yang Zhengyi let out a roar and gathered his own strength. He grasped the three-foot-long lightning sword and pierced it straight through King El’s chest.

King El’s face was cold as he slammed his fist directly onto the sword, shattering it in an instant.

Bang!

The sword exploded and the fragments flew back like laser beams. In an instant, they pierced through Yang Zhengyi’s body, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood.

If it was not for the fact that the grandmaster’s physical body was already strong enough to withstand it, that move would have been enough to kill him completely.

Even so, his meridians were all broken, and he had lost all of his spiritual energy. However, he relied on the last bit of it to hold on and not die.

“Do you see that? This is the difference between a god and a human!”

King El’s eyes revealed a hint of ridicule, as if he was looking at an ant.

Yang Zhengyi could no longer move. His face was filled with exertion as he was trapped by the lightning chain.

He patted Yang Zhengyi’s face and smiled wickedly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you so soon. That would be too boring.”

He glanced at Jianghai city behind him, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty light that made one’s heart palpitate.

Yang Zhengyi seemed to have thought of something.

“What are you planning?”

King El licked his lips, his eyes revealing a biting coldness.

“Hehehe… More than 100 years ago, it was because of this city that I was suppressed. Today, I will destroy this city with my own hands in front of you!

“Speaking of which, it has been more than 100 years since I tasted the delicious flavor of human flesh.”

Yang Zhengyi shivered. When he had just lost the battle, there was nothing but acceptance on his face. Now, there was actually a hint of despair.

“No! You can’t do this! No!”

“Unfortunately, you don’t have the final say.”

King El’s words made Yang Zhengyi’s heart go cold. He was filled with despair.

He had lost!

The loss cost more than he expected.

Not only did he fail to destroy one of King El’s clones, but he had also sacrificed millions of people in Jianghai city.

He had caused the deaths of many people, but that was in order to break the seal and destroy King El’s clone. It was due to the obsession in his heart.

If he really caused the deaths of millions of people in Jianghai city, the last part of his conscience would not be able to bear it.

At that moment, he suddenly regretted it.

He regretted his stupidity and hated his stubbornness.

Why did he have to be so determined to take revenge?

In the end… He harmed others and himself.

If time could be repeated, he would definitely take a different path.

Unfortunately, those words were in vain!

The rain rustled down and hit Yang Zhengyi’s face. It was hard to tell if it was rain or tears of regret.

King El looked at his despairing expression and his face was filled with pride. He turned around and faced Jianghai city. He noticed that there was a thousand-foot-long saber scar on the riverbank below. It was dark and looked like a huge mouth that could swallow all life.

That made him raise his eyebrows slightly, but he quickly ignored it.

It was just a thousand-foot-long saber scar. A grandmaster could do it with a full-strength attack, and his main body could create one with just a casual thought. There was nothing to be afraid of.

With that thought in mind, King El stepped over the mark.

However, just as he stepped over it, King El suddenly felt a shocking sense of danger. All the hair on his body stood on end.

The two sides of the saber mark were like two different worlds!

“Not…”

Before he could say the word ‘good’, his consciousness fell into darkness in the next second.

A dazzling light split him apart in an instant. The powerful force completely destroyed his robust physical body, not even leaving him a single cell.

When Yang Zhengyi saw that scene, his eyes were wide open and filled with disbelief.

At that moment, he finally understood what Ye Xiao had said earlier.

‘Those who crossed the line were to be killed without mercy.’

He was not joking!

He really had such strength!

At first, he thought that Ye Xiao was just a grandmaster, but he had not expected that…

Ye Xiao was a great grandmaster?

No, to be able to kill an extremely powerful being like King El’s clone with a single slash was not something that only a great grandmaster could do.

That fellow… That fellow was a divine grandmaster?

How old was he?

He was only in his twenties!

The information about his own identity was fake, but Ye Xiao’s physical information was real!

When he applied for his job, he had clearly seen his age!

He was clearly only 20 years old.

A 20-year-old divine grandmaster?

Was he… Was he an entity that could defy the heavens?

After the shock, Yang Zhengyi could not help but feel a trace of regret in his heart.

He actually only found out about that matter at the last moment of his life. It was really regretful.

If he had known earlier, he probably would not have done such a stupid thing.

That brat had really hidden too well!

Unfathomable!

With a bitter smile, Yang Zhengyi was also swept into the aftershock of the blade light and was destroyed.

However, it was also worth it.

At the last moment of his life, being able to see the scene of King El’s clone being instantly killed could be considered the fulfillment of his wish.

Moreover, he knew that with a powerful existence like Ye Xiao, even if King El’s main body broke the seal, he did not need to worry in the slightest.

“You’re right. I was stuck in the past, not looking forward.”

In his daze, Yang Zhengyi seemed to have seen his master, his fellow disciples, standing in the midst of light, smiling and welcoming him.

..

All of that happened in the blink of an eye.

That was because the saber ray instantly destroyed King El’s clone and Yang Zhengyi一turning the man and beast into ashes.

After that, the saber ray’s momentum did not abate as it split apart the rain clouds in the sky. The originally drizzling rainy weather instantly turned into a clear sky.

The alarm in Jianghai city was gradually lifted. Some of the citizens had already started to walk out of the buildings to breathe in the fresh air.

In the city, Ye Xiao walked calmly with his hands behind his back.

There were many helpless beings in that world, but after thinking about it carefully, it was all due to the incompetence of those involved.

If Yang Zhengyi was the divine grandmaster, would there still be anyone who would dare to easily block the deeds of the sect behind him?

Perhaps, he could easily deal with King El, so why would he need to hurt so many innocent people?

At that point, with the help of the divine soul’s Golden Book, he could synthesize a mysterious and powerful cultivation technique that could kill enemies of a higher level.

However, how much higher could he go?

Could he deal with a divine grandmaster?

Then go above it?

Even if he had been lying low in the library, peacefully living his life without causing trouble, what if someone went to harm his family and friends?

He could not just sit by and watch, right?

The star beasts invaded the human homeland. He could not just watch the human race being slaughtered and devoured by the star beasts, right?

Humans still had to become stronger.

Only by becoming stronger could one be fearless of everything!

He had decided to read one more hour of books every day!
