Master of the Demon Emperor

"However, you've attracted me. If I were to refine you into a Yin Corpse, you would certainly become a Ghost King,"

Xue Li stared at Su Yie, licked his lips, and sneered coldly.

At that moment, those Yin Corpses also emerged from the thick fog, all of them looking like dried corpses, shakily moving forward, their arms naturally dangling, their clothes tattered and filthy, especially those pairs of empty, bloodshot eyes, which were chilling to behold.

Princess Xiang Yu clung to Su Yie nervously, fearing that those Yin Corpses might attack.

There were hundreds of Yin Corpses marching grandly, giving a terrifying sensation of a night parade of a hundred ghosts.

"Do you want to make a move?"

Su Yie asked calmly. Corpse Ghost King or not, if he dared to strike him, he would also die!

Xue Li sneered and said, "I dare not kill you, but you and I can have a contest."

He had now joined Emperor Su's Sect and knew Su Yie's backing, so despite his impulse, he had to restrain himself.

There were simply too many ruthless characters in Emperor Su's Sect; no matter how wild he was, he dared not mess around.

As the words fell, Xue Li stomped his right foot and suddenly lunged at Su Yie.

Su Yie flipped his hand to draw the Zhou Wu Sword and thrust forward without any fear.

Xue Li's cultivation was unfathomably deep, possibly surpassing the Nascent Soul Realm, but he still had to fight.

Only by battling with stronger foes could he break through his limits.

Clang—

Su Yie's sword struck Xue Li's shoulder, sparks flew, and he narrowed his pupils. The sword blade did not break through Xue Li's skin.

Was this guy made of bronze and iron bones?

Before he could think more, Xue Li, holding a metal chain, whipped it toward him, the headwind stirring Su Yie's hair first.

Su Yie used his transcendental divine skills to move behind Xue Li and stabbed backward with his sword. Xue Li took the blow with his back, unharmed.

"Such speed! Is it a divine skill?"

Xue Li wondered silently and swung his leg in a kick as he turned around.

Su Yie dodged again and drew the Heartbreaking Sword with his left hand.

With both swords in hand, he directly used the Twin Sword Sovereigns!

Treading the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps, Su Yie pushed his speed to the extreme, crazily circling Xue Li and attacking, catching Xue Li off guard.

Their active area was limited to within five meters. From Princess Xiang Yu's perspective, her eyes could not catch Su Yie's form, only seeing trails of afterimages and flashes of sword light.

Xue Li swung his arms trying to catch Su Yie, but was consistently unsuccessful.

Clang! Ding! Ding! Clang...

The sound of metal clashing was incessant. No matter how hard Su Yie tried, he could not break through Xue Li's skin.

With a bang!

Xue Li suddenly leapt up, causing the soil to collapse, flipped mid-air, and landed several tens of meters away.

Su Yie also stopped, using the Twin Sword Sovereigns and the Heaven and Earth Boundless Carefree Steps was indeed too draining on his demonic power and stamina.

Xue Li, with a smile rising at the corner of his mouth, said, "Very strong, let's stop here."

He seemed to be giving Su Yie face, but was inwardly groaning in discomfort.

The power of Su Yie was terrifying, a full five hundred Dragon's Strength!

If they continued, his physical body was bound to be breached!

He had only intended to test, not to fight to the death.

Su Yie sheathed his sword, looking completely unruffled.

Xue Li was putting on an act, and he had to do the same.

Lose the battle, not the war!

At least in terms of momentum, he could not show weakness.

"It seems you too are heading to the Seven Dynasties. Let's meet again next time."

Xue Li turned and left, followed by hundreds of Yin Corpses.

Princess Xiang Yu hurried to Su Yie's side, her face full of excitement, and said, "That was the Corpse Ghost King! And you actually managed to get the upper hand!"

Not far away, Xue Li stumbled, almost tripping. He clenched his fists and forced himself to resist the urge to turn around.

What does she mean by 'getting the upper hand'?

It was clearly that he couldn't do anything to me, right?

Xue Li complained silently to himself and could only comfort himself that a strong man does not argue with a woman!

Watching Xue Li's figure receding into the distance, Su Yie shook his head and said, "He is very strong."

Only very strong!

Now, in his eyes, Xue Li was just a crawler that could be crushed at any moment. Fortunately, Xue Li had not behaved inappropriately; otherwise, he would have already vanished from the Human Realm.

Princess Xiang Yu nodded with a seemingly understanding gesture. In her view, Su Yie's combat stance was more aggressive, with each sword strike precisely hitting Xue Li, who looked caught off guard.

Afterwards, Su Yie continued towards Great Wei with Princess Xiang Yu.

He silently wondered, was Xue Li also heading to the Seven Dynasties?

Could it be he intended to refine Yin Corpses amidst the chaos of war?

The last thing lacking in war was corpses!

Fortunately, Xue Li was not headed towards Great Wei.

Meanwhile.

Xue Li spoke within Emperor Su's Sect.

Corpse Ghost King Xue Li: Just now, I encountered the Demon Lord and had a little spar. This kid's sword is really fast, and his strength is extremely powerful—I estimate about four or five hundred Dragon's Strength!

Black Tiger Emperor: Four or five hundred Dragon's Strength... that's absurd!

Demon Lord Qing Yan: Isn't he just at the Mystic Demon King Realm? How can he possibly have such tremendous strength?

Overlord Luo Fu: Oh? If that's truly the case, I am also becoming interested in him.

Xiahou Jinxuan: I didn't expect such a monstrous figure would emerge from below the Seven Dynasties.

Shangguan Wuji: Hmph! The Demon Lord counts for nothing. When he meets me, it's just a matter of a slap!

...

Su Yie, with his eyes closed, slightly smiled; by this day, he was no longer a mere mortal who had just arrived in the Ancient Wilderness.

"What are you smiling about again?"

The voice of Xiang Yu startled Su Yie, causing him to open his eyes in annoyance, "Why are you always staring at me?"

At his words, Xiang Yu's pretty face blushed, unsure how to respond.

She was still dressed in wedding attire, looking stunningly beautiful.

Su Yie felt no Heart Movement, but rather awkwardness. He was caught every time he snickered; couldn't they give him some face?

The atmosphere between them became subtly tense until they emerged from the woods.

Ahead were rugged mountains, unevenly sloping and extending to the very edges of the earth.

With Su Yie's Vision Power, he could already see the walls of Great Wei.

The court of the Human Clan, he was finally about to experience its elegance.

Immediately, he grabbed Xiang Yu and flew away on his sword.

The Four Elders of Great Wei had mentioned in their communication that they had arranged people at the border city to welcome him, to prevent the soldiers from being disrespectful and mistaking him for an enemy.

Whoosh!

The Zhou Wu Sword streaked across the sky, quickly arriving in front of Great Wei's border wall.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"There's a monster!"

A general standing on the wall shouted loudly, his cultivation at the Mystic Realm, yet he still felt fear facing Su Yie, so he was very tense.

Su Yie stopped and looked down at them, saying, "I am the Demon Lord."

The Demon Lord!

Whoosh——

All the soldiers on the wall were taken aback, looking at him in disbelief.

How celebrated the Demon Lord had been lately, having just slain the Evil Bat Demon, and now he had come to their Great Wei.

The general immediately became excited, hurriedly bowing and saying, "Demon Lord, please follow me; I will take you to meet the officials."

Su Yie nodded slightly, the Zhou Wu Sword descending, and followed by the general, he and Xiang Yu walked towards the city ahead.

As they left, the soldiers immediately began to buzz.

"Could it be that Great Wei invited the Demon Lord for help?"

"Nonsense! During the battle at Xiwan City, the Four Elders of Great Wei made an agreement with the Demon Lord!"

"That woman is so beautiful, the Demon Lord is really lucky!"

"That woman... looks like the Princess of the Zhao Dynasty, the foremost beauty of the Seven Dynasties..."

"Right, wasn't Princess Xiang Yu of Zhao given in marriage to the Evil Bat Demon? Since the Evil Bat Demon was slain by the Demon Lord, Princess Xiang Yu naturally fell into his hands."
