CHAPTER TWELVE: Who is the True Culprit?
Old Nine in Black screamed in agony, clutching his abdomen with his left hand as he frantically counterattacked, but Chu Yang remained calm and collected, his eyes cold, relentlessly pursuing him!
The sword light remained constant and merciless; upon contact, it erupted into a shower of flesh and blood!
Old Nine in Black's body continued to retreat, but the sword light was even faster! Like a maggot burrowing into bone, it rapidly closed the distance.
Puff!
The Nine Calamity Sword violently lunged into and through Old Nine in Black's chest!
For the first time slaying an imperial level powerhouse, the tip, edge, and blade of the Nine Calamity Sword simultaneously emitted a frenzied killing intent, as if the blood of this powerhouse had awakened its hidden ferocity accumulated over ten thousand years!
The overwhelming sword energy immediately erupted violently within his organs. With a thunderous boom, countless sword energies burst through his flesh and shot out! His internal organs were reduced to dust in that instant!
Old Nine in Black's body crumpled like a deflated balloon!
Yet his neck remained upright, his eyes still not having shifted from panic. He stood there, weak and hunched, looking at the gleaming sword embedded in his chest, and suddenly struggled to lift his head to gaze at Chu Yang, asking with great difficulty word by word, “You are the Nine… Nine… Nine Calamity Sword… Master?”
Chu Yang's heart jolted, his clear and icy eyes locked onto him as he replied indifferently, “How do you know?” The opponent had already lost all vitality, and Chu Yang was not afraid. Instead, he was somewhat curious about how the other party knew his identity.
“Hehe…” Old Nine in Black let out a pained laugh, “Slaughtering the world… what does it matter… I never expected, the Nine Calamity… Sword Master… actually… actually made me… profitable…”
Chu Yang snorted coldly, a tremor running through him: The Ye Family truly deserves to be the number one dominion family in the Nine Heavens! They even remembered the names of the Nine Calamity Sword techniques!
Since that is the case, then in the future, I should refrain from calling out these techniques. Damn it, I didn't expect this habit formed in my past life would come with such hidden dangers!
Suddenly, a spark of light flickered in Old Nine in Black's eyes, and he opened his mouth to shout: “He is…”
Chu Yang roared, and with a swift slash of sword light from bottom to top, he cleaved him in two! A head split in half, and the two body halves slowly toppled over.
A generation's blade emperor perished at the hands of the newly risen Nine Calamity Sword Master in just three days!
Chu Yang scoffed coldly; this bastard even thought to expose my identity right before dying! With a flick of his hand, he stored the two severed halves of Old Nine in Black’s body into the nine calamity space.
If a few others came and saw these two severed pieces, they would surely suspect his divine weapon. This was something they couldn't be allowed to witness!
A long howl echoed in the distance, followed by the sight of a cyan-green light streaking through the air like a meteor! Behind that cyan-green light, eight other lights flickered toward them!
Chu Feiling suddenly descended, calling out, “Little brother, are you alright?” Upon seeing Old Nine in Black's grotesquely mangled body, he gasped, stepping back two paces: “You… you did this?!”
The disbelief was palpable in his voice!
Chu Feiling had never been this astonished in his life; it was simply unbelievable! My heavens, can someone explain what is happening? How could a third-tier blade emperor chase down a second-tier sword king and be killed in the blink of an eye?
Am I… am I not dreaming?
“Um…” Chu Yang awkwardly nodded.
Chu Feiling was rendered speechless!
Swish, swish, swish, Ye Ranmo and the others landed, looking around with confusion: “Why is only this little brat here? Where is Old Nine? Where did he run off to?”
