Chapter 845: Life-and-Death 10 Minutes

"Master, I’m on the first floor."

Sword Fanatic heard Ye Xiu’s shout and responded.

Ye Xiu staggered to the staircase, and as he descended, he saw an extraordinary old man standing in the living room.

His expression immediately tightened, and he asked:

"Are you Sword Fanatic?"

"Master, it’s me, Sword Fanatic." Sword Fanatic replied cheerfully.

Ye Xiu was taken aback; previously, Sword Fanatic had been filthy, in tattered clothes, with long, messy hair.

But now, Sword Fanatic was clean and neat, meticulously dressed, and his long hair had been cut short.

"Why did you make yourself like this?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Studying Sword Dao is an incredibly sacred thing. One must bathe and change clothes, treating it with the utmost reverence."

Sword Fanatic replied with utmost seriousness and solemnity.

Ye Xiu was filled with awe. Sword Fanatic’s spirit of pursuing the sword and his respectful attitude toward it were truly admirable.

"Master, what’s wrong with you?"

Only then did Sword Fanatic notice something was wrong with Ye Xiu and quickly asked.

"Don’t ask, we need to leave here quickly. If we don’t go soon, it will be too late."

Ye Xiu said, panting heavily.

"Oh, okay!"

Sword Fanatic quickly assisted Ye Xiu in leaving.

However, as soon as the two of them stepped out of the hate-filled castle gate, they saw a large crowd rushing over, led prominently by Kristina.

"It’s over, we can’t leave now!"

Ye Xiu’s face was full of despair. In his current state, he didn’t even have the strength to summon the Earth System Totem to escape.

"Master, those seem to be martial artists from Nameless Island. Are they coming for you?" Sword Fanatic asked.

Ye Xiu nodded: "They’re here to kill me."

At this moment, he regretted immensely having Kristina gather all the martial artists on the island yesterday. He initially wanted to gather them all to take them out in one fell swoop, but he didn’t expect to be tormented by the Dragon Flute so badly.

I’ve really shot myself in the foot!

"Master, I’ll hold them off. You should leave first!"

Sword Fanatic drew his sword and resolutely said.

Ye Xiu gave Sword Fanatic a deep look and took out the Cang You Sword from his backpack.

"Cang You Sword?"

Sword Fanatic immediately recognized the Bronze Sword, excitedly saying:

"Master, you possess such a Divine Weapon."

Ye Xiu handed the Cang You Sword to Sword Fanatic, saying:

"I’ll lend you this Cang You Sword for now."

"Thank you, Master, for the sword." Sword Fanatic accepted the Cang You Sword with reverence, kneeling on one knee to express his thanks.

"I’m just lending it to you," Ye Xiu reminded.

Sword Fanatic stood up, lovingly stroking the Cang You Sword, saying, "Thank you, Master, for the sword."

"I said I’m just lending it to you, not giving it to you," Ye Xiu reminded again.

"Thank you, Master, for the sword," Sword Fanatic replied cheerfully.

Ye Xiu looked at Sword Fanatic in shock. This guy seemed so honest, yet he was even more shameless than Zhuge Liang.

What? Did Zhuge Liang borrow Jingzhou and never return it?

"You’re not planning on not giving it back, are you?" Ye Xiu asked.

Sword Fanatic hugged the Cang You Sword tightly in his arms, warily saying:

"Master, you look so stingy; who gives something away and then asks for it back?"

Ye Xiu was anxious: "I never said I was giving it to you."

"You did say it. I heard it loud and clear. Otherwise, find a witness to prove you didn’t say it," Sword Fanatic cheekily replied.

"Damn..." Ye Xiu was left speechless. Damn it, it’s just the two of us here, where am I supposed to find a witness?

Seeing Kristina and the thousands of martial artists already very close, Ye Xiu couldn’t bother arguing with Sword Fanatic about the ownership of the Cang You Sword.

He said:

"Sword Fanatic, help me buy 10 minutes. We only need 10 minutes, and we can turn danger into safety."

Sword Fanatic confidently replied, "Master, don’t worry. It’s just 10 minutes, I’m fine with that."

Ye Xiu nodded, sitting cross-legged on the ground, fully mobilizing the energy of the Life Totem to relieve the pain in every cell of his body.

At this moment, Kristina stopped 15 meters away from Ye Xiu.

The thousands of people behind her also stopped.

"Ye Xiu, why do you look so pale, and your mental state seems so exhausted? Your forehead is sweating, and your body is trembling slightly..."

Kristina looked at the cross-legged Ye Xiu with surprise, suddenly thinking of something, and asked:

"You didn’t succumb to curiosity and blow the Dragon Flute, did you?"

Last night, Stephanie sent Kristina a message using Thousand Paper Cranes, detailing the Dragon Flute and mentioning that Ye Xiu might be unable to resist blowing the Dragon Flute.

Stephanie wrote in the message that if Ye Xiu blew the Dragon Flute, he would fall into endless pain and lose his combat ability.

"Ye Xiu? Master, are you Xuanse Medicine King Ye Xiu?"

Sword Fanatic was taken aback and didn’t expect that the Sword Dao master he acknowledged as his master was indeed the Ye Xiu who had a national bounty issued on him by the three Judicator Families.

The thousands of martial artists Kristina brought were also surprised.

They had all heard of Ye Xiu’s name and had long wanted to meet him, to see what kind of man the three Judicator Families regarded so highly as Xuanse Medicine King.

But upon seeing him today, they didn’t expect Ye Xiu to be so young.

Just a little brat!

In an instant, thousands of martial artists’ eyes burned with intensity, their battle intent rising, their killing intent overwhelming.

"I didn’t blow the Dragon Flute, come over and find out for yourself."

Ye Xiu bluffed.

Deep inside, he was terrified. The Eternal Kingdom officially had only 3500 War Gods of the Fifth Realm or higher.

But the thousands of martial artists Kristina brought were all Fifth Realm and above, more than an entire nation of the Eternal Kingdom.

Among them were five Eighth Realm warriors!

Faced with so many experts!

Could Sword Fanatic hold on for 10 minutes?

"Hahaha, I’m completely sure you blew the Dragon Flute. I’ve known you long enough to never have seen you so listless."

Kristina laughed loudly and said:

"Ye Xiu, oh Ye Xiu, I thank you so much. You had me gather all the martial artists on Nameless Island here, only for you to wipe them out, and you really dug your own grave."

"Originally, I planned to sacrifice these 4718 martial artists to wear you down to death, but now it seems unnecessary. You’re already defenseless, anyone could kill you."

At this moment, Kristina no longer feared Ye Xiu, she no longer acted.

The plan was clear!

Her delicate face was flushed with excitement, her delicate body quivering, her eyes full of excitement, her expression becoming ferocious.

This was the joy of impending revenge!

Ye Xiu’s expression was incredibly grave. He originally intended to delay time by talking. Now it seemed that even if he hadn’t been ravaged by the sound of the Dragon Flute, Kristina would have had 4718 martial artists launch a suicidal attack on him.

Now that he had lost his combat power, Kristina was even more reckless.

"Mo Yun, go kill Ye Xiu, and I’ll reward you with a drop of Golden Blood!"

Kristina ordered!

"As you command!"

A middle-aged Seventh Realm War God behind her replied joyfully, drawing his sword and charging at Ye Xiu.

The others Kristina brought immediately envied Mo Yun. Killing Ye Xiu not only gained fame but also received a bounty and Kristina’s reward.

Too bad!

It wasn’t their turn!

Mo Yun got lucky!

"Ye Xiu, prepare to die!"

Mo Yun rushed to Ye Xiu and slashed at his neck with his sword.

But at that moment, Sword Fanatic beside Ye Xiu made his move, slicing Mo Yun in half with one stroke of the Cang You Sword.

"What a sword, what a sword!" Sword Fanatic exclaimed excitedly.

Kristina and 4717 martial artists were taken aback. Previously, they had all ignored Sword Fanatic.

Not until now did they recognize the Sword Fanatic beside Ye Xiu. Due to his changed appearance, none of them recognized him.

"Being able to kill a Seventh Realm with one strike, although in Mo Yun’s unguarded state, this old man’s strength is at least Seventh Realm Peak."

Kristina quickly assessed and impatiently said:

"Everyone, attack together. Whoever can cut off Ye Xiu’s head, I will reward them with a drop of Golden Blood, allow them to read any book in the Library Pavilion, and choose any Totem or Treasure in the Treasure Pavilion."

She was indeed worried about any mishaps, decisively launching a full attack.

The 4717 martial artists, upon hearing Kristina’s promise, immediately started breathing heavily.

They didn’t care about the Golden Blood!

They didn’t care about the Totems and Treasures in the Treasure Pavilion!

But the reward of reading any book in the Library Pavilion was too enticing!

"Kill!"

In an instant, 4717 martial artists raced to kill Ye Xiu. Everyone wanted to personally sever Ye Xiu’s head and win Kristina’s reward.
