Chapter 309: Chapter 40: The Overwhelming Power of the Sword

Translator: 549690339

The originally peaceful Nanyu Prefecture began to stir due to the appearance of the Western Evil Mink Monk.

“Sha sha!”

The soldiers of Yan Country, clad in armor and wielding shields, poured in from both sides of the street, causing a dull sound as their iron armor clanked. They blocked the entrance of Yan Tang Manor.

“Shiu!”

In the spacious courtyard, an agile figure leaped up and broke through the front yard’s soldiers guarding them.

——Roar!

A gigantic green mink, five or six meters long, landed lightly and issued a warning roar toward the surrounding soldiers while baring its sharp fangs and revealing a fierce expression.

“Are these all rabble? Are the remnants of the Yan so weak?”

A sarcastic laugh came from the green mink. The Western Evil Mink Monk, with an entirely bronze-colored body, including his bald head, sat on his beloved pet, appearing very comfortable.

“With this level of ability, they dare to provoke my Shenluo Empire and disrespect our princess? Do they still think they are the Yan of a hundred years ago? In my opinion, there was never a need to collaborate in the first place. The Royal Crown Prince of the mighty Yan has become a turtle hiding its head, what a tragic comedy… ”

“Do not insult the Royal Crown Prince!”

Just as the Western Evil Mink Monk was transmitting sound to mock Zhao Huai, one of the Yan soldiers, a dragon cavalry commander clad in heavy armor, was enraged to the point his eyes turned red and he bellowed.

Even with only refining qi cultivation, he wielded his spear and charged forward.

“Left Commander! It’s dangerous!”

“That evil monk is too strong! You’re no match for him!”

Surrounding deputy commanders and soldiers exclaimed.

The shiny black spear tip was extremely sharp, but the Western Evil Mink Monk didn’t take it seriously. Not even bothering to glance at him, the green mink made a light leap and transformed into an afterimage.

In an instant, the dragon cavalry commander was knocked down.

“Roar!”

The green mink pressed one of its paws onto the fallen commander’s body and let out a deafening roar.

Quickly, the eardrums of the dragon cavalry commander began to bleed, but there was still no fear in his eyes.

“You are very brave.”

The Western Evil Mink Monk descended from the green mink, stepped on the commander’s iron armor, and said with a faint smile:

“But what use is there for bravery? Strength and background are needed to excel. Don’t you understand this principle?”

Unyielding and stubborn, the dragon cavalry commander wiped the blood from his nose and yelled, “It is the Crown Prince who has allowed the common people to live better lives and led the Yan to recreate its glory. He is the Lord of the Yan. No one is allowed to defame him!”

Hearing this, the Western Evil Mink Monk narrowed his eyes, and his face darkened as he spoke in a cold tone:

“If that’s the case, why don’t you just go down there and wait for him?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he loosened his leg and the green mink beside him pounced, ready to bite off the commander’s head.

“Zing!”

A crisp and piercing sword sound echoed through the entire courtyard.

The pitch-black sword qi, dragging its sword radiance, left a meteor-like trail in the sky.

In just an instant, the green mink’s body was completely knocked away.

“Wu hou…”

The green mink let out a mournful cry. A blood mark appeared on the position of its right eye, and a large amount of blood flowed out from its eye socket. Evidently, its eyeball had been pierced by a sword.

The Western Evil Mink Monk frowned and looked up at the sky, where a handsome man in a white robe appeared.

He hummed and a playful smile filled his eyes.

He finally showed himself.

“The Royal Crown Prince!”

“It’s the Royal Crown Prince! He finally took action!”

The surrounding Yan soldiers’ morale soared, and they all shouted in delight.

The dragon cavalry commander who had just been crushed on the ground struggled to get up, knelt down, and said with a fist salute, “Thank you, Royal Crown Prince!”

“Go to the battle formation. Leave this to me.”

“Yes!”

Zhao Huai gave the order, then shifted his gaze to the Western Evil Mink Monk, coldly saying:

“I feel it’s a shame to kill this green mink. After all, it’s a rare beast. Why not use it as soup to nourish our bodies.”

The Western Evil Mink Monk, tall and sturdy, with a bronze-colored complexion, revealed a cold sneer and said, “A turtle hiding its head will always remain so. Whether you avoid battle or emerge today, you won’t escape this calamity.”

Zhao Huai, without expression, said: “To break my Taoist mind with a few words, I can only say this method is too boring. Do you think that merely bringing people from Western State will leave you unafraid of challenge?”

Upon realizing that Zhao Huai had seen through his intentions and even discovered the presence of the Sorceress Sect’s three Bodhisattvas and Arhats, the Western Evil Mink Monk did not become angry, instead, he laughed and said:

“We’ll find out if it works by trying.”

Before finishing his words, he suddenly struck out with a palm. A golden palm print appeared with the character “Chan” on it. This sneak attack was nothing short of sinister.

“Then let’s fight.”

Zhao Huai’s expression remained unchanged, and his voice, though not loud, was full of power.

With the copper coin in his hand, a row of large characters emerged before him.

[Hexagram one: Strike Shenluo, make a name for yourself in the world. Starting with the Western Evil Mink Monk, the direction you receive is “fortune”.]

[Hexagram two: Wolves surround, in league together. Hasty battle, the direction you receive is “Misfortune”.]

Since this matter was Shenluo Empire’s provocation to Yan Country, the Yan’s true colors must shine. Although the opponent dared to enter Nanyu Prefecture alone, they must have a card up their sleeve. But he had his own backup, so there was nothing to worry about.

With that in mind, Zhao Huai pinched his sword finger and aimed his black sword at the golden palm print, as fast as lightning.

“Ding!”

As they touched, a violent vibration sounded.

“Let me show you the power of the Yama Buddha Palm.”

The chilling voice of the Western Evil Mink Monk rang out. As he changed the posture of his hand and took a step back, his body spun around and struck again, this time with an unparalleled fierceness.

“The world underestimates my Yan, not knowing that they themselves are the ones with a narrow view.”
