Just as Su Yu's Diabolic Sword sank into Du Yuntian's mind, an ancient jade pendant around Du Yuntian's neck ereen brilliance The emerald aura warded off the srade soul defense talisman! The First Prince, always prepared, had ainst soul-attacks

Du Yuntian sneered and thrust his sword towards Su Yu's head "Die!"

In the face of imminent doom, Su Yu had no choice but to use his ultimate defense tactic in order to survive—Su Yu activated his holy decree!

Thud, thud, thud—

Su Yu fell backward by five paces, a trail of blood dripped from his mouth Du Yuntian coldly huures spun in the air They cut crisscrossing paths across the arena Su Yu's insides jolted due to the moveer coushed down the hand which held his sword Du Yuntian's fingers trehtly There was no way to tell who held the upper hand

Ten, thirty, fifty ht continued!

After an hour, Su Yu could feel his anxiety build; the Duke of Xianyu's execution was only an hour away, and there was still no end in sight for this battle! Worst of all, Su Yu was physically exhausted, had lost his agility, and was nearly decapitated by Du Yuntian's sword! Though Du Yuntian found it difficult to hold the sword, his physical strength still far surpassed Su Yu!

Under the arena, the Third Prince's eyes tracked the dazzling purple figure spinning in the air He'd never thought Su Yu would come so far!

The First Prince realized that he had, at some point, unconsciously sat forward from his relaxed position into a stiff, tense posture His once peaceful expression had been replaced by a stressed, thin-lipped focus on the fight in front of hi; coth had doubled! The First Prince realized, to his horror, that he could not predict the outcoht!

An unfaed froht victorious, he would surely act upon his earth-shattering oath to kill the First Prince—there would be no escape!

"Report to the First Prince, the Duke of Xianyu has executed an hour ago" An iuard informed the First Prince

The First Prince's eyebrow raised "What? Isn't the execution scheduled for lanced back at the concerning developht "The head of the Duke of Xianyu is here!"

"Here it is!" The iuard offered up a black box, as it had been the First Prince who personally ordered the execution—so, naturally, it was necessary to present the executed's head to the First Prince for examination

Inside the opened box was a lean and sallow head with a haggard appearance Who else could it be but the Duke of Xianyu? With a cold sneer on his lips, the First Prince casually flung the head from the black box and tossed it into the arena, behind Su Yu

Those in the combat preparation zone were taken aback by the head which tuyu was stunned as she recognized the face of the decapitated head, her delicate body trembled!

"The Duke of Xianyu!" Xia Linxuan uttered in horror

Coht with Du Yuntian, Su Yu, upon hearing those four words, unconsciously turned back What aze was a vision he had hoped to never see; behind hiard, Su Yu recognized the contours and curves of those vacant eyes Once warside a wry s, noble Duke of Xianyu was dead

Su Yu could see the ghosts of tears that once dripped down the Duke's face before he died, tearsbeneath a cold saber, eyes full of tears as he faced the sky, passed through Su Yu'sSu Yu to survive

Su Yu witnessed every moment he'd had with the Duke pass before his eyes, frooodbye

Tears welled up and blurred Su Yu's vision He refused to believe the identity of the head before him! It was beforeon the line, had risked his life every ht, every second in order to save the Duke's life! So how could the Duke possibly be dead?! Twice, Su Yu faced the death of the Duke!

As ed forward, Su Yu saw the Duke of Xianyu's every word and so, but so fresh on his mind Each memory still breathed war was cold

The day the Duke of Xianyu was engulfed by the vast raging flaiven a bleak smile That smile was a farewell! Su Yu had failed to save the Duke of Xianyu! He had failed

"No!" Su Yu returned to hi screa like ten thousand rumbles of thunder roared in his heart! It was a destructive loathing, furious and violent in its desire to obliterate heaven and hell, and it noarmed Su Yu's heart in place of once pleasent memories

"First Prince! I will kill you!" Su Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared at the sky

Hatred andthehim off to be buried with the world Those who sensed the dark energy were shocked and alar First Prince's heart thumped wildly, but Su Yu's loss of spirit made the First Prince's eyes flash with a victor's ice-cold s him lose control had created an opportunity for Du Yuntian to kill with a single stroke—this had been his last-minute plan!

Shocked by Su Yu's hatred, Du Yuntian's blood ran cold Still, Du Yuntian caught the intent gaze of the First Prince

"Billowing Cloudy Sword!" The long sword in Du Yuntian's hand thrust towards Su Yu's back in an icy graceful arc

"Don't!" Xia Jingyu's pretty face turned aghast, her figure bleard like the wind, intent on rescuing Su Yu

However, it was too late

Du Yuntian's single thrust of his sword had already pierced Su Yu's back! Yet, just as he was about to pierce Su Yu's heart with his sword—

Bang—
