The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 287: Shocking announcement



Chapter 287: Shocking announcement

Watching Xu Long as he flew back and almost out of the ring from taking the direct attack of his burning sword, Jian Shen despite being sure that the match was close to being over decided to launch one more attack to seal the deal.

Conjuring one huge sword from the elements of Wind, Lightning, Fire, and Destruction combined, Jian Shen while looking at the ugly expression on He Xing and the blonde-haired woman let the sword fly away from near him towards Xu Long who hadn't yet fallen to the ground.

Coughing blood from baring the force of the explosion on his chest, Xu Long was just about to flip in the air and try to stabilize himself when he felt an ominous feeling shrouding him from all the sides.

Unfortunately, by the time he realized what was making him feel like this was another sword attack from Jian Shen who looked like a God inside the dome he created.

"Fuck..!"

Raising his spear in an attempt to at least deflect the sword so that it wouldn't hit him, Xu Long did manage to come in contact with Jian Shen's attack using his spear.

But, just as Xu Long was feeling happy the sword made of fire elements split into two pieces from the point where his spear tip had pierced it.

"Bastard...!"

Cursing Jian Shen right before the arrack landed on him, Xh Long felt that his opponent was very cunning to make him feel despair right when he was feeling good.

Boom!!!

With an explosion louder than before sounding as the sword once again hit Xu Long right in his chest on the same spot that the flaming sword had struck him before, Jian Shen's opponent no longer had a chance to win because the sheer force pushed Xu Long not just far out of the confines of the stage but also knocked him unconscious and made it impossible for him to try and get back into the fight.

"Xu Long!!!"

Running towards her son whose chest was scorched and filled with cut marks out of which blood kept on pouring, the blonde-haired woman quickly fed him some healing pills while glaring at Jian Shen.

It seemed as if she planned to fulfil those words of threat she gave Jian Shen in the past.

Shrugging the look off and making his Ten Elemental Sword Domain retreat, Jian Shen looked towards He Xing whose expression looked even more ugly than before.

Walking towards him, Jian Shen whispered, "You better remember what I told you last night. You wouldn't want his father to hunt you down, right?"

Leaving after saying those words, Jian Shen went near Xifeng and Luli who looked more curious about what it was that he was talking about with He Xing instead of how easily he won the fight.

"What was that about?"

Shaking his head and not saying answering Xifeng's question, Jian Shen said, "Shouldn't we let the visitors first?"

Nodding her head Xifeng loudly said, "Since the outcome of the fight is clearly evident to the both of you, I won't be serving as your host anymore. Please leave as soon as possible."

Once she said that Xifeng left the place while tugging on Jian Shen's hand as Luli followed behind the two of them.

...

"You remember the promise you made when you came to visit me, right?"

Shyly nodding her head, Meirong said, "Yes."

"Huh? What are you two talking about?! Let me listen to it as well!"

Stopping in the mid-air and turning around to look at Luli who was pouting, Jian Shen chuckled happily and hugged Xifeng by the waist.

"I and your mother have something we want to tell you Luli."

Rolling her eyes, Luli said, "Stop acting as if you're my father, Jian Shen."

"Just listen."

"Fine. What is it?"

"Ummm... "

Not knowing how to explain it to her daughter, Xifeng chose to be as straight forward as possible.

"I and Jian Shen are going to leave the Winter Jade Empire."

"Forever. ugh.. "

Hitting Jian Shen in the stomach with her elbow and making him stop, Xifeng shyly said, "You always wanted to ascend the throne and rule the Empire so I thought this would allow you obtain some experience while we travelled across the Realm."

"Are you serious?"

Nodding her head with a smile, Xifeng said, "Nothing had been set in stone yet, though. If you feel like ruling the Winter Jade Empire is too hard, the two of us will come back at any moment to help you out. Here."

Handing her daughter a bunch of Spatial Gate Tokens which all belonged to Jian Shen, Xifeng continued to say that she was free to call them whenever she wanted to.

"I... I can't believe this... You two... "

Still unable to believe that the dream she had for so long was finally going to come true, Luli felt more bothered by the fact that her mother would be leaving.

The strength of an Empire despite being represented by the various armies was in the end mainly related to dependent on the strength of the ruler.

And Luli herself was someone who was only in the Fate Weapon Realm, her mother who was leaving however was in the Eternal Palace Realm.

A stage which represented the peak of individual strength in the entire Divine Realm!

Also, she had once heard that her mother had only ascended to the throne when she herself was in the Spirit Beast Manifestation Realm.

In comparison to that, wasn't she still too weak and inexperienced?

While thinking all of this, Luli who saw the ecstatic and longing expression in her mother's eyes as she was beside Jian Shen felt that she truly deserved the right to leave the Winter Jade Empire whenever she wanted to.

Having served as the Empress for so many years, it was truly time for her mother to enjoy her own life.
