Du Liufeng felt increasingly miserable. Just now, a single clash not only shattered his lifelong weapon but also turned his internal organs upside down.
The relentless blade energy rampaged and destroyed his meridians: he couldn’t even muster the strength to attack again. He could only stand there rigidly, putting all his effort into neutralizing the blade energy within his meridians, not daring to move!
Du Liufeng’s heart was filled with dread; he never expected the might of the blade emperor to be so overwhelming!
He had originally thought that even if he broke through, he would only be a second tier blade emperor, while he himself was seated on the eighth grade imperial throne: crushing him would definitely not be a problem!
To his surprise, after a single clash, it resulted in such a sharp mutual injury!
In a flash, he recalled a saying he had heard before: the imperial throne is not frightening, what’s frightening is a singular imperial throne: the blade emperor and the sword emperor are the strongest among them! The dominance of the blade emperor, the sharpness of the sword emperor, can defeat enemies of higher tiers as easily as cutting grass!
Indeed, it was true!
With this thought, the killing intent in his heart intensified! If Dong Wushang were to grow stronger, what chance would he have to live? He had just broken through to a second tier blade emperor, and even in his severely injured state, he still possessed such power; what would happen if he fully recovered to his peak condition…?
What if he ascended to a third tier blade emperor? What then?
At all costs, Dong Wushang must be killed today! Du Liufeng secretly vowed in his heart.
Humans are indeed strange creatures.
Earlier, he had come to ambush Dong Wushang, all for the sake of the Dong Family: moreover, he even had some reluctance and affection for Dong Wushang. How rare is it for a young talent to achieve success?
But upon discovering that Dong Wushang actually had the ability to endanger his life, he felt none of that lofty air of a master; that affection and reluctance transformed into boundless killing intent!
This killing intent had nothing to do with the future of the Dong Family; it was solely because his own life was threatened!
Perhaps Du Liufeng was loyal to the Dong Family, but once the dark side of human nature arose, even the most steadfast loyalty could be crushed!
Dong Wushang spat out blood again from his nose and mouth. His internal organs had already suffered severe shock from the sneak attack, and now, clashing head-on with Du Liufeng only aggravated his injuries.
However, Dong Wushang did not hesitate for a moment.
His only thought now was to kill all these people.
Even if they were from the Dong Family!
But I must kill!
Because my heart has already been shattered.
I respected you everywhere and made concessions; why do you still want to kill me?
I endured for you, I admired you since childhood; why do you still want to kill me?
Do you know that I once vowed in my heart that if you were ever in danger, I would risk everything to help you? Do you know that if it came to life and death, and only one of us could live, I would definitely choose to let you live? And I would die myself!
Elder brother, do you know?!
Do you know how heavily you have wounded me this time? If you want me to leave the family, all it takes is a single word from you… just say it, and I will obediently leave. I won’t fight you!
But why did you strike without saying a single word?
Dong Wushang roared in his heart, his eyes already bloodshot. He had almost lost his rationality! Facing the five or six powerful figures charging at him, he let out a sorrowful laugh and charged forward with his large blade!
His long black hair flew in the air.
“Kill!” Dong Wushang shouted loudly, leaping up and slicing down! A throne was cleaved in two by his strike, blood splattering everywhere!
The Ink Blade swept out, producing a loud thud as it shattered a sword in the hands of a throne, instantly crushing the hand, the arm, the shoulder, the neck… the chest and head… all shattered!
