Chapter 2198: Chapter 2199: Xun Wanli’s Death, All Pretense Torn Away

Although this sword strike from Ye Xunhuan was incredibly fast, so fast that any ordinary person would definitely lose focus and have their vitals pierced in an instant, getting sent straight to hell with a single stab.

But Xun Wanli was no ordinary person; he was the number two core figure among the Protectors of the Nation!

The next moment, just as Ye Xunhuan’s sword was about to stab straight into his heart, the dragon-head cane in Xun Wanli’s hand suddenly swung out, trying to knock Ye Xunhuan’s sword to the side.

But right then, before the dragon-head cane in Xun Wanli’s hand could collide with Ye Xunhuan’s sword, the blade in Ye Xunhuan’s right hand suddenly shifted, changing direction completely. Instead of stabbing toward Xun Wanli’s heart, it swept toward Xun Wanli’s left arm.

And it came in at a vicious, tricky angle.

This abrupt change in trajectory made Xun Wanli’s heart suddenly jolt, and a bad premonition instantly surged up from his chest.

Then, before Xun Wanli could react at all, the sword in Ye Xunhuan’s hand stabbed straight into Xun Wanli’s arm!

"Puchi!"

The razor-sharp blade pierced right through Xun Wanli’s arm. The searing pain surged in like a flood tide, rushing along his arm and coursing through his entire body, making Xun Wanli involuntarily tremble all over.

The next second, Ye Xunhuan yanked his sword sharply upward, slicing a bloody chunk of flesh straight off Xun Wanli’s arm!

With a piece of meat carved off his arm by Ye Xunhuan, the blinding pain wrenched a muffled groan of agony from Xun Wanli, and the dragon-head cane in his right hand came crashing down toward Ye Xunhuan.

But at the very instant Xun Wanli hacked down with the cane in his hand, Ye Xunhuan had already darted back to the side.

"Old bastard, you really think I didn’t know this sword couldn’t kill you?" Ye Xunhuan looked at Xun Wanli with a mocking expression and said.

Seeing that mocking light in Ye Xunhuan’s eyes, the fire in Xun Wanli’s heart erupted like a volcano, completely beyond suppression.

"You little bastard, today I’m going to kill you no matter what it costs!"

At this moment, the muscles on Xun Wanli’s face were twisted into a grotesque knot, and the look in his eyes was venomous to the extreme, as if he wanted nothing more than to hack Ye Xunhuan into a thousand pieces.

Facing Xun Wanli’s poisonous gaze, Ye Xunhuan didn’t take it to heart at all, let alone feel even a trace of fear.

Then Xun Wanli, gritting his teeth against the pain in his left arm, gripped the dragon-head cane in his right hand and came howling down on Ye Xunhuan like a storm.

Confronted with Xun Wanli’s assault, Ye Xunhuan didn’t retreat or dodge in the slightest. He met it head-on, like two tigers on a mountain fighting for the right to rule the territory.

In an instant, the entire conference hall was flooded with razor-sharp killing intent, and streaks of cold light flashed through midair like bolts of lightning.

Right now, the previously orderly conference room had been reduced to utter wreckage, and under the pounding shockwaves of that fierce clash, cracks had already appeared in the surrounding walls, as if they might collapse at any moment.

"Bang!"

Xun Wanli kicked straight into the wall, and the wall instantly shattered.

Missing his kick at Ye Xunhuan, Xun Wanli swung the dragon-head cane in his hand and smashed it out toward Ye Xunhuan.

At this point Xun Wanli was like a rabid beast, eyes completely bloodshot, lost in a killing frenzy.

Ye Xunhuan, on the other hand, even though he was being forced back and had to temporarily yield the initiative, his expression was utterly calm and his movements were still smooth and effortless.

Suddenly, a sharp gleam flashed through Ye Xunhuan’s eyes, as if he had just found an opening. The sword in his hand slashed out in a blur.

"Shattered Stars!"

"Swish!"

A blinding sword light burst forth, like two stars in the night sky slamming into each other and erupting in a dazzling flare.

The sword qi surged like a raging sea, as if it could swallow everything in existence, crashing down on Xun Wanli while also drowning out everything around them!

Seeing this, Xun Wanli’s eyes narrowed to slits, and a look of horror and panic flashed across his face. "Two Instruments Sword, impossible, impossible..."

Though his face was full of fear and panic, Xun Wanli’s hands didn’t stop. The dragon-head cane in his right hand spun wildly, whipping up a curtain of staff shadows in front of him, wrapping his body within.

"Boom rumble..."

A muffled roar rang out, like a bomb detonating, and the Yubo rippled out crazily in all directions.

The next moment, Xun Wanli’s whole body shot backward like a kite with its string cut, slamming heavily into the floor.

"Clang!"

A dull crash rang out at once.

Right now, Xun Wanli looked like he had just stumbled through some kind of time tunnel, even going against the current. His clothes were shredded into strips, as wretched as a stray dog, as miserable as a man could be.

Looking at Xun Wanli sprawled on the ground, Ye Xunhuan said expressionlessly, "There’s no such thing as impossible in this world."

On the side, when Yan Jingchu saw Ye Xunhuan seriously injure Xun Wanli, her face went deathly pale, and a look of unprecedented terror flooded her features.

The dignified number two core figure among the Protectors of the Nation, Xun Wanli, actually wasn’t Ye Xunhuan’s match.

If Ye Xunhuan really killed Xun Wanli, then what awaited her...

The moment she thought of that, a heavy sense of unease and fear wrapped itself tightly around Yan Jingchu’s heart.

Xun Wanli, forcing himself to endure the pain tearing through his body, slowly climbed up from the floor. The look in his eyes was like a poisonous snake’s, ready to devour and bite.

"Ye Xunhuan, I really underestimated you..."

"It’s fine. If you get to meet me again in your next life, just make sure you look at me a little higher." Ye Xunhuan said coolly.

As his voice fell, Ye Xunhuan’s figure flickered and he was suddenly right in front of Xun Wanli, his sword sweeping straight for Xun Wanli’s neck.

Although Xun Wanli was injured, that didn’t mean he’d lost the ability to fight. Faced with Ye Xunhuan’s ruthless strike, he still didn’t give up and swung the cane in his hand in a block.

But just as Xun Wanli’s staff was about to intercept Ye Xunhuan in front of him, Ye Xunhuan’s figure suddenly vanished.

This abrupt scene made Xun Wanli’s heart jolt violently, and a thick sense of death instantly enveloped him.

"Die!"

A calm yet icy voice sounded out, and a lightning-fast sword light appeared before his eyes.

"Puchi!"

The lightning-like sword light fell. Before Xun Wanli could even react, it had already sliced across his body, cutting him cleanly in two. Blood and viscera spilled all over the floor.

In this moment, Ye Xunhuan beheaded Xun Wanli. This also meant the facade between him and the King was completely torn apart, and the Protectors of the Nation of all Huaxia would never again tolerate Ye Xunhuan’s existence!
