Chapter 30: Blood Stained Three Passes (Part 2)
"Indeed, the Emperor places too much importance on the Yun Family Army. To me, without Yun Feilong, the Yun Family Army is just a scattered bunch. Didn’t they almost face destruction in the Northern Desert? A little Qian Luofeng can’t stir up any trouble. If he could break through Mysterious Dragon Pass, I would truly look down on Huang Liang and Chen Wangye."
The Ninth Prince said with a cold smile.
"Oh, what a pity for the Yun Family Army; they have actually betrayed the country. Prince, do you think Yun Feilong will really betray the country?"
The trusted aide asked with a laugh.
The Ninth Prince’s face suddenly turned cold, "Wang Chong, do not speak such words again. Whatever the Emperor does is right. Yun Feilong is simply a man out of time."
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, I understand."
Wang Chong’s expression changed slightly, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and immediately fell silent.
Roar…
Suddenly, an earth-shattering lion’s roar echoed from afar, followed by a gust of wind and waves sweeping across Jade Dragon Pass, a surge of soaring morale approaching rapidly towards Jade Dragon Pass.
The Ninth Prince and Wang Chong, who had originally looked relaxed, couldn’t help but frown; both of them were innate realm experts, and their senses were certainly sharper than ordinary people.
"Report!"
A soldier ran from the front and knelt down near the Ninth Prince. "My prince, the Yun Family Army is here."
"What?"
Both the Ninth Prince and Wang Chong gasped in surprise, doubting their own ears.
"That’s right, they come in great numbers, at least four thousand people, led by a young man riding a black lion and holding the Yun Family Army flag high."
The soldier said, recalling the power of the Yun Family Army, his expression becoming anxious and fearful, as the fame of the Yun Family Army was truly great.
As the soldier finished speaking, the shadow of the Yun Family Army appeared before everyone. Just as the soldier said, there were indeed four thousand men, but their spirit felt like there were forty thousand.
"What are Huang Liang and Chen Wangye doing? Has the Mysterious Dragon Pass fallen?"
The Ninth Prince’s face turned cold; this scene was unexpected for him. He thought that even if the Yun Family Army somehow managed to cross the Mysterious Dragon Pass, they would be remnants of a defeated army, hardly a threat.
But the Yun Family Army before him showed no signs of being a defeated force. They looked like a sharp and victorious army.
"That’s not right; the leader isn’t Qian Luoyun. Who is that boy stepping on the black lion?"
Wang Chong’s gaze fell on Yun Yi, and he said in surprise.
"Is that the useless one from the Yun family?"
The Ninth Prince also looked over, and when he saw Yun Yi’s face, his expression suddenly became very interesting. Yun Yi was also a prominent figure in the Imperial Capital, holding a high status as a noble young master, and the Ninth Prince naturally knew him.
"It really seems to be that Yun Yi, at the peak of the ninth grade of the Open Spirit Realm. Wasn’t he unable to Open Spirit? What’s going on? Looking at his talent, he might even be stronger than the young Yun Feilong."
Wang Chong could hardly believe his eyes.
"I understand now! The Yun family intentionally hid Yun Yi’s talent to show him as useless, so that outsiders would lower their guard. Hmph! It seems the Yun family has plotted this for a long time. Thanks to the Emperor’s sharp insight, a genius like him, at sixteen years old already at the peak of the Open Spirit Realm, if he continues to grow, he will surely become a threat to the royal family and a major concern."
The Ninth Prince snorted coldly; he wouldn’t believe someone could go from Open Spirit to the peak of the Open Spirit Realm in just a few days. The only explanation is that he was hidden before.
The Yun Family Army stopped outside Jade Dragon Pass. Yun Yi’s eyes were like fierce tigers, directly staring at the Ninth Prince and Wang Chong.
"Ninth Prince, I hope you are well."
Yun Yi said.
"What a clever Yun Yi. It seems the Yun family has really put in a lot of effort, but I am very curious to know how you managed to win over Huang Liang and Chen Wangye, allowing you to pass through Mysterious Dragon Pass so easily."
The Ninth Prince said loudly.
"Win over? They are not important enough for me to win over. Let alone the small Mysterious Dragon Pass, even your Jade Dragon Pass, I, Yun Yi, can pass whenever I want."
Yun Yi was incredibly arrogant, showing no respect for the Ninth Prince and Wang Chong.
That high-and-mighty attitude made the Ninth Prince and Wang Chong extremely angry. They were experts in the innate realm, and the Ninth Prince held a high position with great power. In the entire Chu Kingdom, few dared to speak like that in front of him, so a mere Yun Yi was nothing.
"What an arrogant little beast, even more so than your father. I do not care how you passed Mysterious Dragon Pass, but today, this Jade Dragon Pass will be your resting place."
The Ninth Prince was filled with rage.
"Enough talking, you two attack together. Your Chu family will all die."
Yun Yi leaped from the back of the Black Flame Lion, planting his battle flag fiercely into the ground, his sword pointed directly at the Ninth Prince and Wang Chong, blood still on the blade.
"You foolish person, let me take your life."
Wang Chong raised his battle knife and charged at Yun Yi, flames swirling around him. He unleashed a fiery slash, clearly intending to defeat Yun Yi in one blow to impress the Ninth Prince.
Wang Chong, in his Fire Spirit Body, was indeed incredibly powerful, appearing more difficult to handle than Huang Liang and the others.
However, Yun Yi’s face remained calm. Only when Wang Chong’s attack was close did Yun Yi raise his sword high, bringing it down with great force as dark power spread around him.
Boom…
The clash of swords and knives erupted, waves of fire spreading out, and from the flames came Wang Chong’s haunting scream.
Then, a figure retreated—Wang Chong, who was now clutching his other severed arm, blood gushing out wildly.
A single sword strike severed an arm; it was not on the same level at all.
Hoo…
Yun Yi transformed into a strong wind that rushed in, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared close to Wang Chong. With a swift movement of his hand, he struck down and severed Wang Chong’s head.
So fast, really too fast.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye; from Wang Chong’s attack to the moment the head fell, it took less than three breaths. An innate realm expert fell just like that.
The scene fell into silence; everyone was stunned. The Ninth Prince stared wide-eyed at the blood-soaked Wang Chong, then looked up at the mighty Yun Yi. He could not accept such an outcome.
"Ninth Prince, it’s your turn."
Yun Yi looked at the Ninth Prince, filled with killing intent. He would not show any mercy in wiping out the Chu family. The hardships faced by the Yun family were vivid in his mind; blood debts must be repaid with blood.
The Ninth Prince felt dry in his throat; at this moment, he finally understood why the Mysterious Dragon Pass fell. If he was right, Huang Liang and Chen Wangye had probably already met the same fate as Wang Chong, becoming victims under Yun Yi’s sword.
