Capítulo 1579: Chapter 1575: The Empress’s Dissuasion
The cultivators who ca to Hanzhu Kingdom were all attracted by the imnse elental power emitted by Ye Fan. They thought they had discovered a source of power, unaware that this power simply stemd from a person’s cultivation and mistakenly believed it to be from a powerful magic artifact. They wanted to claim this power for themselves.
Ye Fan sat as usual, and Huan’er, seeing so many people planning to attack herself and Ye Fan, felt a little afraid. After all, she was only at the Foundation Establishnt Stage. Let alone a group, she wasn’t even a match for a single person.
The cultivator known as “Han Pengzi” was the over-forty-year-old cultivator from earlier. At this mont, he lay on the ground unmoving. The female cultivator cursed, “You damn thing, still pretending to be dead? Do you believe I’ll kill you?”
A young female cultivator nearby jeered, “If you’re going to kill him, do it quickly. I’ve been fed up with Han Pengzi for a long ti. But Ma Huazi, shouldn’t you deal with this boy and the little girl in front of you before killing Han Pengzi’s lover? Or are you trying to divert attention because you’re too scared to act?”
“What do I have to fear? You think I’m as useless as Han Pengzi?” The old woman called Ma Huazi was agitated by the provocation. She seed eager to prove she wasn’t afraid of Ye Fan and Huan’er but didn’t dare to rush forward recklessly.
Ma Huazi suddenly summoned a magic sword, which emitted a faint white light like a light sword. But instead of charging directly at Ye Fan like Han Pengzi and others, she slowly walked towards Ye Fan step by step.
Huan’er said coldly, “You woman, are you sneaking around trying to harm soone?”
“You little girl, you’re not even at the Golden Core Stage yet. How could I not kill you? But the man in front of you is hard to gauge. Inside him, there’s a power different from spiritual energy. It should be a magic artifact he’s just obtained, and he’s preparing to absorb and claim it, right? Haha!” Ma Huazi said, continuing towards Ye Fan.
It seed she had found the knack of it. The more directly she charged at Ye Fan, the greater the counterattack she would face. Conversely, by approaching slowly, she seed less threatening, so the elental power wouldn’t form a strong backlash, allowing her to gradually get closer to Ye Fan.
Twenty steps, fifteen steps, ten steps…
When Ma Huazi finally reached Ye Fan, she wore a cold smile, raised her magic sword, and was about to stab towards Ye Fan’s vital point, saying, “Who still doubts ?”
The cultivators who accompanied Ma Huazi seed eager to let her kill Ye Fan, hoping to reap the rewards effortlessly. At this mont, a woman’s voice suddenly sounded, “Stop!”
The voice ca so suddenly that even Ma Huazi’s attention was drawn to it. She looked far away at the woman entering through the distant corner of the hall. This woman was dressed in luxurious attire that didn’t seem typical for a regular woman or even an ordinary human woman. It resembled a court dress, upon closer inspection, Ma Huazi judged by her knowledge that it was an emperor’s robe, aning the person before her was a female emperor.
“Hmm? What’s her background?” Ma Huazi watched as the empress walked towards her. She released spiritual energy to probe and found that this empress had no significant spiritual energy, yet there existed a mysterious power similar to the one around Ye Fan. Ma Huazi almost confird this should be the “accomplice” of Ye Fan and Huan’er.
The approaching empress was the sa empress of Hanzhu Kingdom who had previously encountered Ye Fan. After hearing that Ye Fan had arrived at the sacred temple of Hanzhu Kingdom, she wanted to co to see him but backed off due to pride. However, after encountering the unexpected, fearing Ye Fan would harm her people, she braved the colorful smoke to the hall to check the situation, only to find a group trying to kill Ye Fan.
The empress said coldly, “In my country, you’re trying to kill a friend of Hanzhu Kingdom, and you dare ask who I am? Do you believe that stepping out of this hall, crossbown could kill you all?”
The empress was always very arrogant. She felt secure under the protection of her army and believed that even cultivators were nothing to fear excessively. Besides Ye Fan, the cultivators she t before had generally low cultivation. Moreover, Hanzhu Kingdom had its own protective sect, where cultivators would safeguard the nation’s peace. Yet, the empress lacked the proper respect for these cultivators.
This empress was a very arrogant person.
When she declared Ye Fan a “friend of Hanzhu Kingdom,” her face suddenly felt warm. Because the last ti Ye Fan ca, awakening her, she mistook him for a ddling thief. However, she later realized she was trapped in an illusion, a terrifying one that might gradually devour her mind. Feeling guilty, she wanted to apologize to Ye Fan, and because she found herself pursuing a young cultivator like Ye Fan, she even harbored so fondness, wanting to get to know him better.
Ma Huazi angrily said, “What Hanzhu Kingdom, I see just a death-wishing woman. Do you believe I’ll kill you?”
Those cultivators nearby mocked, “Ma Huazi, besides threatening to kill, what else can you do? If you’re capable, kill them all! Didn’t she say the place you’re in now belongs to Hanzhu Kingdom, and she’s a human empress? Killing the empress would destabilize the nation, aning you’ve broken the rules set above. The Alliance Hierarch will punish you, don’t say we didn’t warn you!”
Ma Huazi hesitated, “To hell with the Alliance Hierarch, I just won’t touch this human empress, but that boy with the strange magic artifact must die! Take this!”
Ignoring the approaching empress, she directly thrust her magic sword toward Ye Fan’s vital point. She concentrated all her strength into this thrust, thinking at such a short distance, Ye Fan was too late to react, allowing her to succeed in one strike. However, she had no idea of the gap in cultivation between herself and Ye Fan. Even if she managed to stab this sword inside Ye Fan’s body, Ye Fan could still, in an instant, decapitate her.
“Bang!” As all the cultivators thought she would succeed, suddenly a loud sound rang out. It wasn’t Ye Fan who was “stabbed” that fell, but Ma Huazi herself.
Ma Huazi flew backward like a kite with a broken string, her posture almost identical to Han Pengzi. As she fell, she spat out a mouthful of blood, struggled a few tis, and then lay motionless.
