Chapter 200: 200

Who the hell do you think you are?

Hearing this, the Sword Monarch’s expression worsened .

His reputation was one of the highest within Great Zhou, and Zhou Xuanji was his junior . How could he be treated so disrespectfully like this?

“Zhou Xuanji! You killed Lin Guanyu’s little sister and Zhou Yalong’s mother, and now you want to kill them too? Aren’t you afraid of receiving punishment?” The Sword Monarch said in a low voice . If he allowed Zhou Xuanji to kill Lin Guanyu, Zhou Yalong would definitely die .

If Zhou Yalong died, the Great Zhou would be finished .

Zhou Xuanji did not want to become the Emperor, nor was he suited to become the Emperor .

Under these circumstances, he had to protect Zhou Yalong .

Zhou Xuanji gave him a sideways glance and said, “Are you really worthy of the title of Sword Monarch? The Great Zhou’s Empress hunted my mother and I down back then, causing my mother to die a horrible death and me to become homeless . Do you know what I’ve had to go through to reach where I am now?

“Before I became an adult, the Great Zhou’s Empress tried to kill me . With the enmity of killing my mother and with my own life in danger, if it was you, would you be able to just endure it?

“Lin Guanyu is taking revenge for his little sister, and I respect him as a hero . However, this is how this world is, death always comes . Only one of us can live, but because this is a duel between upright people—experts—neither of us will complain .

“Zhou Yalong slaughtered an entire city and deserves to die, but he did it for Great Zhou’s future at least .

“But what about you? You’re inverting black and white, right and wrong . How can a person like you be called a Grandmaster in the Way of the Sword? How can you be worthy of the trust and worship of Great Zhou’s millions of subjects?”

Each of Zhou Xuanji’s words were enunciated clearly and his voice was loud . He did not give the Sword Monarch an opportunity to cut in at all, causing his chest to heave and his face to become ashen .

Hearing this, the millions of people in the city could not help but look down on the Sword Monarch .

Zhou Xuanji spoke openly and candidly, seeming like an extremely grand and forthright hero .

Instead, it was the Sword Monarch who seemed like a hypocrite .

“Who dares to be his enemy? Not only would they die, but their reputation would be left in tatters too,” the little black snake sighed in amazement on Chongming Demon Monarch’s shoulder . This boy was too terrifying .

Zhao Congjian nodded, saying, “Before, I thought that experts should be taciturn and expressionless, killing enemies without any words . However, seeing master… I feel that defeating an enemy with words is also amazing…”

He wanted to learn!

Jiang Xue covered her mouth as she laughed and said, “I’ve never seen anyone win in an argument against Xuanji before . ”

In her eyes, no matter what Xuanji was like, he was still amazing in her eyes and he could make her proud .

“This is talent . That boy hasn’t met many people in his life, but his mouth is still so vicious, just like his mother’s, “Daoya Old Man said as he sighed in amazement . Seeing the Sword Monarch dumbstruck and at a loss for words, he felt quite pleased .

Within the sunlight, the ascending Emperor Yan of Zhou frowned .

However, if one observed him closely, they would see that his lips were slightly curved upwards .

Over the years, he had found it harder and harder to deal with the Sword Monarch .

He was worried that after he ascended, Zhou Yalong would not be able to suppress the Sword Monarch . However, this was good—Zhou Xuanji was suppressing the Sword Monarch to the point that he couldn’t breathe .

“You insolent child! It’s you who wants to kill people, and yet you’re sounding so noble!” The Sword Monarch furiously roared . He did not have much confidence from the beginning, and merely wanted to give Zhou Xuanji and Lin Guanyu a way out of this . Who would have thought that Zhou Xuanji did not want to take it at all?

Lin Guanyu seemed defeated, but it was difficult for Zhou Xuanji to kill him .

After all, the Beiba Blademaster was a notorious name built upon countless corpses .

“Do you understand the importance of a man’s pride is? Fighting for one’s heart, fighting for one’s passions; do you understand?” Zhao Fu said as he scoffed . As he spoke, the Frost King Sword shot out ferociously .

Ranged Sword Propelling!

The sword tip was pointed straight at the Sword Monarch!

The Sword Monarch instinctively raised his sword, but he was still late .

Pshh!

The Frost King Sword stabbed into the Sword Monarch’s shoulder . Then, icy qi spread out and froze him into an ice statue .

Countless people were greatly startled; Zhou Xuanji had taken down the Sword Monarch with a single strike?

Just how powerful was Sword God Zhou now?

They could all tell that the Frost King Sword was not Zhou Xuanji’s best sword, and yet it was so godly .

Shaken!

Lin Guanyu suddenly spun and hacked out with his sabre, but Zhou Xuanji was prepared . He blocked with his two swords but was still sent sliding back .

“Do you want to kill me? You don’t have the ability!” Lin Guanyu said as he laughed coldly, his gaze icy .

On the other side, the Sword Monarch broke out of the ice, looking at Zhou Xuanji in shock and fear .

The Frost King Sword flew back to Zhou Xuanji’s side .

He looked at Lin Guanyu, then at the Sword Monarch, and suddenly laughed .

“You both want to kill me? You might as well come at me together then!” Zhou Xuanji said as he laughed condescendingly, causing all of the spectators to stare with wide eyes .

“Oi, stop showing off!” The little black snake hurriedly called out . If Zhou Xuanji died showing off, they would not have been able to leave Great Zhou alive .

Chongming Demon Monarch pulled the little black snake off his shoulder and said, “Shut up! When hasn’t Master been showing off? He shows off because he has the power to! Be at ease and watch!”

Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, and the others glared at the little black snake with ill-intent .

Zhou Yalong suddenly cried out, “Sword Monarch, stop worrying about all that! Attack him together!”

It was he who had invited the Sword Monarch here, to defend against this situation .

At the same time, he felt incredibly worried .

Why was Zong Kuiming still not revealing himself?

These days, he had been flattering Zong Kuiming every day, but now Zong Kuiming had disappeared, making him feel quite uncomfortable .

Of course, it was possible that Zong Kuiming was still waiting for the right moment .

The Sword Monarch immediately flew towards Zhou Xuanji and Lin Guanyu .

Lin Guanyu frowned as he said, “Don’t you think you’re a bit too arrogant?”

He felt quite wary; this boy definitely did not have good intentions .

Zhou Xuanji gave a slight smile and opened his hands, and the God-Emperor Sword and White Dragon-bone Sword flew to his side . The God-Emperor and white dragon around his body disappeared .

Following this, an evil-looking and awe-inspiring sword appeared in his hand .

The Sky Extinguishing Sword!

As soon as this sword appeared, Lin Guanyu was frightened and hurriedly retreated .

The Sword Monarch also stopped and looked at the Sky Extinguishing Sword warily .

It was evident that Zhou Xuanji had taken out the sword he thought was the most powerful, the one that might have even been able to kill both of them with a single strike!

“This sword is called the Sky Extinguishing Sword; it can bury the sky and extinguish the world!” Zhou Xuanji said as he laughed loudly . He held the sword in one hand and dozens of other swords were behind him, looking incredibly dominating!

After speaking, he gripped the sword with both hands as he twisted his entire body and furiously slashed out .

A black sword qi swept towards Lin Guanyu at an unparalleled speed .

Lin Guanyu’s expression worsened . He was unable to evade, so he could only instinctively raise his sabre to block .

As the sword qi surged past, the sabre’s blade directly turned to dust!

His body was inundated by the black sword qi, leaving nothing behind, not even bones!

As the sword qi continued onwards, the people on either side of it felt as if they were looking death in the face .

In the blink of an eye, the sword qi had flown 10,000 metres away, causing the palace to collapse with an explosion . Dust billowed up, and the entire Great Zhou Royal City trembled violently .

Silence!

Everyone stared at Zhou Xuanji with dumbfounded expressions, including Xiao Jinghong, Daoya Old Man, Zhao Congjian, and the others .

Even Emperor Yan of Zhou stared with wide eyes as if he had seen a ghost .

The Sword Monarch’s face became incredibly pale, and his body froze .
