The Immortal's Wine Store Chapter 209 - Angry Emperor Elyk

Chapter 209 - Angry Emperor Elyk

The fifth princess wore a solemn look as she slowly pulled out her sword. It was not an ordinary weapon. It was an Earth Weapon and something that was almost on the level of Saint Weapons! From this, it could be seen how much the emperor doted on this daughter of his.

Xue Tong's eyes remained frighteningly cold and he did not even bat an eye despite seeing the high-level sword of Princess Sylvia. Her weapon might be a tad stronger than his sickle, but because of the princess' lack of fighting experience, he could still overpower her. Not to mention that he still had a few things up his sleeves!

The crowd held their breaths as they watched the face-off between these two young elites. Even the emperor who looked calm outwardly was already panicking in his heart. He was worried about his daughter's safety especially because she was facing someone with more experience than her. The emperor could also sense a sinister aura coming from Xue Tong and this made him fall into deep contemplation. 'This kind of sensation is similar to the unique aura of the Undying Corpse Sect... Could it be that... the Xue Family is really related to the Undying Corpse Sect? That means those things discovered by my people were all true...'

When the emperor's train of thoughts reached that point, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He rapidly scanned the area where the Xue Family's people were seated. He saw Elder Kuan, two more elders, and a few disciples in that section. All of them were covered by the same sinister aura that Xue Tong had and this discovery strengthened Emperor Elyk's belief that the Xue Family was indeed colluding with the Undying Corpse Sect.

Emperor Elyk hid the killing intent in his heart, but he still whispered a few things to Defender Duanmu who was just right beside him. "Duanmu, prepare the Embroidered Dragon Guards. Don't let other people discover your movements. I want the Embroidered Dragon Guards prepared before this contest ends."

Defender Duanmu could feel the coldness in the emperor's voice and he was also surprised by his command.

The Embroidered Dragon Guards was a secret elite force that Emperor Elyk had nurtured secretly on his own. They were chosen from the best imperial guards of the Silver Wing Empire and all of them were at least at the 5th-rank Spirit realm! Their captain was also someone with great strength and he is at least as strong as Defender Duanmu! That means this mysterious captain of the Embroidered Dragon Guards is also an 8th-rank Divine realm expert!

Defender Duanmu didn't an idea as to why the emperor had suddenly summoned his secret force at a time like this, but he still nodded his head solemnly to acknowledge the command. He then secretly left the place when everyone was not looking at them.

After Defender Duanmu left the scene, Emperor Elyk s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the fifth princess and Xue Tong. He was prepared to rescue his daughter if he discovers something unusual.

'Xue Family! Your wings have hardened after gaining the support of the Undying Corpse Sect! Did you really think that our Silveria Imperial Family is an easy opponent?! I have already awakened my father who had sealed himself for more than a hundred years! Since you want to play with us, then don't blame me for being ruthless!' Emperor Elyk clenched his fists tightly as watched the battle between Xue Tong and his daughter.

Jiu Shen glanced at the emperor's location when he sensed that the latter's emotions were in disarray. He could feel that the emperor was suppressing his killing intent. 'Did you finally discover that the Xue Family and the Undying Corpse Sect are related? Elyk, allow me to see your next course of action.' He muttered in his heart.

Jiu Shen then took back his gaze and closed his eyes for a moment as he thought. 'Is it about to start? How many lives will be lost this time? Should I intervene? How troublesome.'

When Jiu Shen opened his eyes, he glanced at Long Meili and whispered coldly. "After this contest, take the kids back with you to the store and protect everyone. Kill whoever decides to harm our people..."

Long Meili's eyes narrowed into slits upon hearing his command. She then nodded her head lightly as she said. "Yes, master."

Jiu Shen then focused his gaze on the battle platform. His attention was on Xue Tong.

Within the battle platform, Xue Tong and the fifth princess had already exchanged more than dozen moves and neither of them seemed to have received any substantial injuries.

Xue Tong avoided the fifth princess' sword slash with a casual sidestep. He then waved his sickle to Sylvia's neck, but he suddenly s.h.i.+fted his attack after careful consideration.

Slash.

The sickle created a deep wound on the princess' shoulder and this made her groan in pain.

Xue Tong abruptly raised his sickle in a bid to make another attack, but he suddenly sensed an unconcealed killing intent locked on him. He furrowed his eyebrows as he took several steps backward. He then lifted his head and looked in the direction of the emperor.

The killing intent that he sensed earlier came from the emperor! This made Xue Tong slightly fearful, but he hurriedly calmed his heart. He smiled at the emperor and shrugged his shoulders.

"Sylvia, admit defeat." Emperor Elyk suddenly said.

Princess Sylvia stood up while clutching her injured shoulder. She glared at Xue Tong indignantly, but she did not dare oppose her father. She could sense her father's fury, so she immediately said in a sour tone. "I admit defeat."

Xue Tong smiled innocently at her and bowed politely as he said. "Thank you for making me win, Your Highness."

Hmph!

Princess Sylvia snorted at him before she leaped out of the battle platform.

The third prince, the crown prince, and the fourth prince who were all watching this fight glared at Xue Tong angrily. They doted on this little sister so much, and someone actually dared to injure her like that?

"That G.o.dd.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I will peel off his skin!" The third prince, Prince Erevard said with rage.

The crown prince remained silent, but the look in his eyes was as if he was about to spurt fire.

Bang!

The fourth prince who was among the remaining 16 contestants slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair, reducing it into a pile of broken wood fragments. "That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Xue Tong!"

Xue Tong could sense the raging looks aimed at him, but he merely walked towards the area of the Xue Family in a relaxed manner. There wasn't even an ounce of fear in his expression. 'Hahaha! This is just the start fools!'

"Good job, Young Master!" Elder Kuan laughed loudly as he patted Xue Tong's shoulder.
