Chapter 468

Chapter 468: Chapter 467 Alice’s true intention, Songben Xiajian had no clue, and it was her few words that led to Guitian Yilang’s right arm being severed. Had it not been for Songben Xiajian’s lack of sufficient power to leverage in Huaxia, Guitian Yilang would probably have been killed by him.

Songben Xiajian was not only possessed of astonishing strength, but, most crucially, he was extremely cunning and intelligent. If a person merely has high levels of strength, that is not fearsome. What is terrifying is having a sly and treacherous mind to match, making them difficult to deal with.

Watching Alice walk toward the door, Songben Xiajian clenched his fists tightly. He was extremely angry, firstly because Richuan Gangban, the youngest expert of his Northern Dipper Sword School, had been killed by Ye Tianchen, and secondly because Alice did not take him seriously at all, treating him just like an American lapdog. What Songben Xiajian did not understand was, if he was not an American dog, then what was he?

"Elder Songben, why, why didn’t you kill that saucy wench..." Guitian Yilang, clutching his right arm, said through gritted teeth.

Songben Xiajian turned to glance at Guitian Yilang, whose right arm he had severed with a single slice. Songben Xiajian let out a cold laugh and waved his right hand lightly—Guitian Yilang suddenly felt no pain in his right arm. Looking again, he found his right arm to be intact, which was truly surprising to him. So what had just happened?

That sensation of the right arm breaking, the visual impact of the blood flowing—it had all been so vivid, Guitian Yilang could even swear that he truly felt his arm break and experienced the pain that tore at his heart. But now, how come it was as if nothing had happened?

"Elder Songben... my arm..." Guitian Yilang said, confused and surprised.

"I just want to tell you, if we can’t kill Ye Tianchen this time, neither of us should think of returning alive. I have no face to return to see my brother, the Sword Emperor. As for you, I would personally take your life!" Songben Xiajian said coldly.

"Ha, thank you, Elder Songben, for sparing me!" Guitian Yilang said in fluent Mandarin.

"Speaking Mandarin well won’t conquer the people of Huaxia, only through slaughter can we employ the most effective means!" Songben Xiajian declared fiercely.

"Yes!" Guitian Yilang promptly replied.

At this moment, Songben Xiajian glanced at Guitian Yilang and sat back down in his seat. The death of Richuan Gangban indeed angered him, and one might even say shocked him. He had never anticipated that the youngest expert of his Northern Dipper Sword School, who could at the very least battle with the strongest of Huaxia’s younger generation, would be killed by Ye Tianchen. It seems Ye Tianchen was not a soft persimmon to be squashed at will but a tough bone to chew!

"Go find me several virgins, today I shall indulge in flesh!" Songben Xiajian’s eyes gleamed viciously, and he said with a lecherous smile.

Guitian Yilang, hearing Songben Xiajian’s command, was taken aback and did not smirk lewdly as well. In the past, with Guitian Yilang’s disgraceful and lecherous nature, he would have certainly joined Songben Xiajian in debauchery, but now he was unusually serious and asked earnestly:

"Elder Songben, do you intend to take action personally?"

"Hmph, if I don’t take action personally, should I do as that saucy wench Alice said and send more men to their deaths?" Songben Xiajian snorted coldly.

"Elder Songben, why didn’t you kill that saucy wench just now? It’s intolerable that she actually turned around to help Ye Tianchen, she deserves to die!" Guitian Yilang spoke vehemently.

"No, we cannot kill this saucy wench. It’s not that I don’t dare to kill her, but I feel that keeping her alive might be useful. Let America deal with her personally; I think it will be more interesting to watch. Just now, I merely used a powerful Illusion Technique that made her and you both lose yourselves in it. The purpose was to show the saucy wench how angry I am. Otherwise, she might command us around, and I really don’t want to be manipulated by such a wench!" Songben Xiajian said coldly.

As it turned out, as soon as Alice stormed in, Songben Xiajian had anticipated that nothing good was going to come from it. However, he did not expect such terrible news. Hence, in his anger, he appeared to sever Guitian Yilang’s right arm, but all of that was just an illusion. He knew if he didn’t do this, what would he do if Alice decided to command them? To comply would have been humiliating for Songben Xiajian, and he couldn’t accept it. Not complying, on the other hand, would likely create problems with America. This was the only course of action he could take!

Elder Songben Xiajian managed to use his Illusion Technique on Guitian Yilang and Alice, two skilled fighters, without them realizing it. One must admit that this old guy is indeed very powerful, powerful to a degree that’s difficult to grasp. If he took action, Ye Tianchen would be in grave danger.

"Alright, I’ll go find a virgin right away!" Guitian Yilang nodded and said.

"Find three, I will deflower all of them today to restore my Peak Combat Power. At that time, crushing Ye Tianchen will be like crushing an ant. He dared to oppose the Beichen One Sword Style; everybody who does will die!" Elder Songben Xiajian said with murderous intent filling his eyes.

After nodding, Guitian Yilang headed towards the door. He was going to find virgins for Elder Songben Xiajian. So-called virgins referred to girls who had just turned twelve and had their first menstruation. "Deflowering," as they called it, didn’t need further explanation; they planned to take the girls’ virginities, which was incredibly cruel.

However, the Cultivation Technique that Elder Songben Xiajian practiced within the Beichen One Sword Style was just that brutal. He would absorb all the Yin Qi from the virgins at the moment of deflowering, enabling him to restore his toxic Skill. Now at seventy years old, to regain his Peak Combat Power, he needed to deflower three virgins. It was clear how many young girls in Japan must have been harmed by Elder Songben Xiajian’s Cultivation of such a toxic technique. To them, incest and a lack of morals seemed to be common occurrences. For such a lewd nation, they didn’t care — it was all too ordinary.

At this moment, inside the villa where Ye Tianchen was staying, he sat cross-legged by the pool, unmoving. He had been healing and trying to deepen his control over the Xuanyuan Sword, Taie Sword, and Fish Intestine Sword. Having just broken through to the Emperor-level Superpower Realm, his cultivation needed further deepening and consolidation, so he wasn’t in a hurry, constantly stabilizing his power.

The Thirteen Heavenly Kings stood orderly in front of Ye Tianchen. They had been on the move for days and nights, but sadly had not yet located Elder Songben Xiajian and his team. They all knew about the attacks on Ye Tianchen’s three locations.

"Big Brother, I’m sorry, I didn’t consider everything thoroughly and nearly let your family and friends get hurt!" said Wuxue, feeling guilty.

Wuxue was the second in command among the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, personally appointed by Ye Tianchen. Wuxue was chosen primarily for his steady nature, strong abilities, and intelligence. When Ye Tianchen was absent, Wuxue would make decisions for the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, and naturally felt responsible, ready to step up and be a good leader.

Ye Tianchen opened his eyes, glanced at Wuxue and shook his head with a slight smile.

"You can’t be blamed for this. It was I who sent you all to find the whereabouts of the Beichen One Sword Style. Have you found any clues now?"

At Ye Tianchen’s question, everyone shook their heads. Although they were not weak and each was an elite warrior, they still hadn’t located Elder Songben Xiajian’s group from Japan. This made them feel somewhat ashamed. And with the attacks on Ye Tianchen’s three locations, if it weren’t for Ye Tianchen’s foresight, his family might have been harmed. Such an outcome would have been irreparable.

"Big Brother, we were incompetent, unable to find them!" Wang Jie also spoke up.

"Don’t blame yourselves. I do have some information. The reason I called you here was to share it. Everybody should listen carefully!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

Ye Tianchen always operated on the principle of trusting those he employs and not using those he doesn’t trust. The Thirteen Heavenly Kings had all been vetted by him, and each was an elite. Ye Tianchen believed in using not many, but skilled, personnel.

He didn’t doubt the capabilities of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings. The Beichen One Sword Style group that had arrived this time consisted of thirty skilled fighters, led personally by the Sword Emperor’s own brother, Elder Songben Xiajian. They were formidable opponents, difficult to assess in strength. If it were so easy to find them, there wouldn’t be such a dire and fierce battle. Even Richuan Gangban alone posed a tricky challenge for Ye Tianchen.

Looking at the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, Ye Tianchen continued:

"Although I don’t know where the Beichen One Sword Style group is hiding, I’ve faced them in combat. All I can tell you is that they are very powerful, at least as strong as any of you, if not stronger. I’m not one to lie. Every mission and battle, I’ll tell you the truth. As before, anyone who is afraid can leave. I won’t blame you. As your leader, I can’t just watch you go to your deaths... The leader of their group is the Sword Emperor’s brother, Elder Songben Xiajian. I don’t know the extent of his strength; he might be stronger than any of us, or maybe even all of us together aren’t his match. But I will still face him. I am confident I will kill Elder Songben Xiajian, because there’s no reason why those little devils would win!" (To be continued.
