Chapter 1641: Killing Xuanyuan Wuji

Translator: WQL  Editor: Aleem

The bloody figure broke out from the abdomen of the iron-claw tiger and flashed towards the head of Xuanyuan Wuji out of everyone’s expectation. Even those knights beside Xuanyuan Wuji couldn’t make any response to it.

Given the speed of the bloody figure, it must be a knight. Additionally, he appeared so abruptly. Therefore, when the others discovered him, his spike had almost reached Xuanyuan Wuji.

It was a long-awaited, unimagined fatal strike.

The bloody figure’s spike failed to hit Xuanyuan Wuji. In a split second, a flowing red semi-transparent light shield covered Xuanyuan Wuji like an overturned bell.

The bloody figure’s black spike then slid over the light shield like the sickle of the deity of death, causing not even a single sparkle. Closely after that, it fell onto the throat of another person who was nearest to Xuanyuan Wuji.

While spurting blood like a fountain through his neck, that person’s head was sent several meters high in the air in a split second as all of his blood started to burn like flames, closely followed by roars and sharp air-splitting sounds caused by a powerful battle qi.

“Protect His Majesty…”

Xuanyuan Wuji survived the first strike of the bloody figure due to his secret item; instead, a knight beside Xuanyuan Wuji was beheaded. As a black iron knight, that person had been killed before he realized what happened.

With the call of “Protect His Majesty”, two shadow knights of the four King Kongs and Xuanyuan Wuji flew off at the same time. With a growl, Jiang Feng, one of the four King Kongs instantly charged at that bloody figure who had easily avoided the counter-strike of the others by twisting his body in the air.

On this occasion, the ground environment became more complex and perilous, which was not suitable to the exertion of battle strength of knights and left chances for assassins to launch a strike. By contrast, it was more open and safer in the air.

When Xuanyuan Wuji and the two shadow knights flew off, Elder Muyu and Lan Yunxi flew off too, but they didn’t move closer to Xuanyuan Wuji; instead, they kept a distance with Xuanyuan Wuji in the air; otherwise, they might be the targets of the assassin and might be in danger or be attacked by the four King Kongs in the name of suspects.

On the ground, the hunting team had been in a great disorder. Facing the coming earth knights, the bloody figure instantly split into nine and rushed in all directions at the same time.

“Jiang Ming, protect Xue Fucius…” Being in the air, Xuanyuan Wuji left rapidly with the protection of two shadow knights. Before leaving, he even sent an order to an earth knight called Jiang Ming, one of four King Kongs.

When the bloody figure charged down, Xue Fucius appeared a bit afraid as he instantly seized the arm of Jiang Ming while quivering all over…

At this moment, a bloody figure flew towards Xuanyuan Wuji; however, before it reached Xuanyuan Wuji, it had been shattered into pieces and fell off like a bloody rain with a golden light.

Lan Yunxi’s face turned pale as she had made her little red crossbow round again. After triggering her bow, she shattered another bloody figure on the ground with a golden light.

Before flying off, Xuanyuan Wuji threw a glance at Lan Yunxi.

When the third bloody figure was destroyed by Jiang Feng, the other bloody figures had already aroused bloody chaos in Xuanyuan Wuji’s hunting team.

In the chaos, the animal controller who discovered the trace of the iron-claw tiger was struck by a bloody figure’s off-hand battle qi and spurted out blood. At the same time, he rammed against Xue Fucius and Jiang Ming.

Lan Yunxi had already shattered three bloody figures by her little red crossbow in such a short period of time. Right then, Lan Yunxi suddenly squinted her eyes as an unimaginable scene suddenly appeared in her eyes, causing a sudden change on the ground…

When the animal controller who was sent flying away by the bloody figure rammed against Xue Fucius and Xue Ming, an extremely terrifying, huge abyss iron battle hammer suddenly appeared in his hand. At the same time, the blood, which the animal controller had spurted, formed two bizarre tad-pole-shaped runes which were giving out a brilliant glow in front of his chest at a stroke.

Like when the bloody figure suddenly launched a strike just now, this sudden change was also unimaginable.

The terrifying, huge abyss iron battle hammer instantly struck Xue Fucius who looked emaciated. At the same time, one of the two bizarre runes entered the forehead of the animal controller while the other shot towards that knight beside Xue Fucius.

Before the arrival of the battle hammer, Xue Fucius instantly released a frightening qi as he drew Jiang Ming and moved back as fast as possible. At the same time, he uttered a growl which could be heard within thousands of miles, “Who are you?”

With a loud boom, a huge impact wave rose from the ground, causing Lan Yunxi and Elder Muyu hurriedly to fly away although being at a high altitude.

The strong impact wave instantly blew over the woods and the high rock, breaking the high rock into pieces while rows of huge trees within 1,000 m were blown down towards a direction like a beach being affected by the flood. All the guards and servants of Xuanyuan Wuji were killed at once. Although being over 100 m away, Jiang Feng was also blown off by the strong impact wave.

At the same time, a miserable shriek drifted from the ground.

Xue Fucius was also blown off as fast as a meteor even if he had released his protective battle qi. At the same time, Xue Fucius held a section of a broken arm. The miserable shriek was not uttered by Xue Fucius, but Jiang Ming whose arm had been broken.

When Xue Fucius was sent flying away and prepared to leave there with Jiang Ming by this chance, Jiang Ming stayed still like rooting in the ground. Besides the terrifying strength from the battle hammer, Jiang Ming couldn’t move even if he wanted. Therefore, one of his arms was broken by Xue Fucius, causing such a miserable shriek.

Nobody could imagine such a sudden change, including Lan Yunxi and Elder Muyu.

Watching the terrifying impact wave from the ground, Elder Muyu changed his face greatly as he drew Lan Yunxi back as fast as possible, saying, “Miss, back…”

Lan Yunxi hurriedly flew back. By far, the ground combat couldn’t be dealt with by them anymore. If such a powerful strike was on them, they would be killed instantly.

When the impact wave spread in all directions, the two shadow knights and Xuanyuan Wuji who had flown away turned around and flew towards the most perilous region at the risk of their lives.

Watching such a weird scene, Lan Yunxi and Elder Muyu appeared to have realized something; however, they left there rapidly; instead of expressing their fury of being fooled.

On the ground, dozens of meters deep pit was found where Xue Fucius and Jiang Ming once stood. With a heavy hammer in hand, the animal controller, no, that powerful and weird killer was standing in the air, facing that earth knight who had lost one arm. Xue Fucius who was blown off was accelerating towards the killer at a high speed with a domineering battle qi.

The animal controller also flashed backward as fast as Xue Fucius. What was more, the earth knight who had lost one arm also moved back with the animal controller as if there was an invisible chain between him and that animal controller no matter how hard he struggled.

The earth knight roared as he started to save himself by slashing a brilliant long sword towards the terrifying animal controller from many meters away.

Pitifully, his self-relief was in vain due to the sharp gap between levels and the terrifying battle strength of that animal controller. Perhaps that knight who had lost one arm didn’t know how ridiculous his slash was in front of the animal controller.

When the injured earth knight flashed backward, another battle hammer had arrived, breaking the aura of his long sword into pieces. When the battle hammer approached him, a golden light shield suddenly appeared, which was similar to the former one released by the earlier Xuanyuan Wuji. However, this light shield contained some flying runes.

When the heavy hammer touched the earth knight, it broke his light shield along with the bizarre rune crystal plate that he wore; besides, his long sword was blown off. The region between the thumb and the index finger of his only hand was cracked while all the five fingers and the bones of his entire palm were shattered. Beside spurting blood constantly from the broken hand, his clothes were burned into ash at once, making him naked. At the same time, his skin cracked, revealing the original face, which was completely as same as the earlier Xuanyuan Wuji. However, this one looked more domineering between his eyebrows.

“Let go Your Majesty…” Xue Fucius roared. However, after missing one piece, he had been destined to lose the combat although he was just bruised by the huge hammer. In this case, Xue Fucius couldn’t even touch the killer due to a great distance. When he was moving forward, the assassin was moving back while Xuanyuan Wuji was in between, facing him. If he launched a strike, he would hurt Xuanyuan Wuji first.

“Bloody wheel lock. Who are you?” The real Xuanyuan Wuji roared, “Xuanyuan Golden Body…”

At the same time, Xuanyuan Wuji released a bizarre qi while earth elements in Elements Realm suddenly poured towards Xuanyuan Wuji at a pretty high speed, gradually forming an outfit…

The terrifying animal controller remained silent; instead, he responded to Xue Fucius and Xuanyuan Wuji with his battle hammer for the second time in an irresistible manner.

The incomplete Xuanyuan Golden Body had been shattered once again, causing greater damage to Xuanyuan Wuji.

When flashing backward, wounds over Xuanyuan Wuji had cracked, bones were broken, eyes, ears, nose and mouth spurted out blood; however, Xuanyuan Golden Body still survived this strike.

“What an emperor-level Xuanyuan God Sutra , what a pity…” the animal controller suddenly opened his mouth.

Xuanyuan Wuji was close to collapse. Watching that terrifying animal controller with an unwilling look, he exerted his utmost efforts to utter, “As long as you let me go, I could give you everything…”

“I only want you dead. I will take it myself!”

After saying such words, the terrifying battle hammer fell onto Xuanyuan Wuji for the third time, shattering his thin protective battle qi along with his unwillingness in the void.

Time appeared to stop at this moment…

Lan Yunxi and Elder Muyu in the far were petrified. Not until then did the two people not believe that the third prince Xuanyuan Wuji had been killed by an iron hammer in front of them.

So were Xue Fucius and the rest knights. They all looked black.

“Your Majesty…” Jiang Feng who had been blown away above the woods shouted miserably as he rushed over here.

Holding his heavy hammer, the animal controller threw a glance at Jiang Feng as he accelerated towards Jiang Feng and rammed into him like a lightning bolt.

Facing such terrifying strength, Jiang Feng, one of the four King Kongs was split into pieces at once.

In the far, Elder Muyu quivered all over as he suddenly recalled Jiang Feng’s physical threat and words in the prince’s mansion.

“Zhang Tie…” Xue Fucius suddenly roared, which caused Lan Yunxi and Elder Muyu to change their face again.

The animal controller didn’t reply. After killing Jiang Feng, he instantly rushed to the fake Xuanyuan Wuji and the two shadow knights.

With another strike, the Xuanyuan Wuji burned into ashes; with one more, Jiang Qianchou the shadow knight of Jiang Clan, Heavenly Stars Palace broke into pieces; by sweeping over his hammer horizontally, he beat the employed shadow knight down to the ground as if the latter was struck by a lightning bolt. After that, the animal controller rushed towards Xue Fucius. After the brawl broke out for less than one minute, a bloody qi spread over the entire zone with an explosion fiercer than the earlier impact wave, causing the sky within 60 miles scarlet…

After that, a meteor quivered a few seconds in the sky before flying towards the south…

The Dragon-Tiger Mountain was in silence. At this moment, besides Lan Yunxi and Elder Muyu in the sky, only one heavily injured shadow knight was lying on the ground.

Watching all this with a pale look, Lan Yunxi and Elder Muyu felt like having a dream.

In the imperial palace of Xuanyuan Hill…

A series of hasty, flurried footsteps drifted outside Yanji Palace of the imperial palace, causing Xuanyuan Changying who was thinking about the coming combat in Shazhou Province frown at a stroke. However, before royal prince ordered his bodyguard to reproach him, the person had pushed away two bodyguards. With pale face and sweat drops over his head, it was one of Xuanyuan Changying’s uncles in charge of personnel affairs of the imperial households.

“Fourth uncle, why are you so flurried?” Xuanyuan Changying put down his document and asked him calmly while relieving his frown.

“The life lamp of the third prince…third prince…third prince Xuanyuan Wuji in God’s Bless Pavilion has…has died out just now…”

Xuanyuan Changying instantly sprung up…

“Your Majesty, here’s an emergency from the Provincial Military Department of Jiangzhou Province…” a bodyguard raised a cylinder sealed with fiery lacquer above his head as he rushed into Yanji Palace.

Above Yinhai, Zhang Tie finally opened his eyes as he watched the location of the airboats of the three sects in the distance with a faint smile…
