The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 2010 - 2009: Overbearing Return

The long robe on Taiyi Daoist fluttered, and a murderous aura emanated from him as he stared at Long Fei with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"Do you know what you’ve done?"

The old man let out a muffled roar, and the surrounding plants instantly turned to powder.

A group of onlookers, cultivators, quickly withdrew, worried that the fight between Long Fei and Taiyi Daoist would entangle them.

This was a battle at the Integration stage, where even a slight movement could invoke the Heavenly Dao Laws.

The old man was clearly furious beyond restraint and, without a word to Long Fei, unleashed a sword strike, conjuring a hundred-meter-long sword mark that slashed down from the sky.

The sword cut through the void, carrying the pressure of the Integration stage, a hundred times more intense than the murderous aura aimed at Chang Xi earlier.

The void suddenly sank heavily, pressing downward.

Due to the sharpness of the sword qi, a white glow was sparked in the air.

The cultivators’ jaws dropped, silently thinking, is this the true strength of the Unity Realm Stage?

One sword strike, and they were utterly powerless to resist.

Long Fei didn’t move, just focused intently on the sword qi in the sky, and with a bang, the powerful sword qi shattered like ice in midair.

Taiyi Daoist’s hand tingled, and blood oozed from the hilt of his sword.

The audience was in an uproar, exclaiming, "What?"

"Damn!"

"This is too outrageous, right?"

"..."

The crowd thought they were in for a great spectacle, yet Long Fei’s move was startlingly simple and direct.

Taiyi Daoist, with an incredulous expression, said, "What kind of sorcery is this?"

"Just Sword Dao!"

Long Fei’s mouth curved into a smile, and he suddenly lifted his longsword.

With a swipe.

A white light flashed in midair, and Taiyi Daoist’s head exploded with a bang.

The sword qi swept through his entire body, erupting into a blood mist with a loud crash.

Everything happened in an instant, so quickly that no one could see how Long Fei had struck.

Those who were timid turned pale and fainted directly in fright. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"This is insane!"

"What’s going on?"

"What kind of swordsmanship did this brat use?"

"It’s over, it’s over!"

"..."

The crowd gasped, and some of the Nine Clan’s descendants fled home in terror to report the incident to their elders.

Taiyi Daoist’s primordial spirit emerged, retreating swiftly.

Long Fei’s Sword Dao cultivation level had reached perfection, completely beyond what he could contend with now.

He coldly shouted at Long Fei, "For the sake of these ignorant, lowly, scattered ants, is it truly worth it? Can they possibly resist the Demon Calamity?"

Long Fei smiled faintly, "I leave you your primordial spirit, so you can see whose Dao is truly the righteous path!"

"I’ll settle accounts with you!"

Taiyi Daoist’s primordial spirit flashed and disappeared into the air.

The onlookers were slightly unsatisfied, thinking the two would fight earth-shatteringly, with at least a hundred clashes to decide a winner.

Who would have thought Long Fei would slay the old man’s physical body with a single sword?

The pressure of the Unity Realm Stage was indeed unfathomable.

Long Fei’s gaze swept over the crowd, and he disappeared from the spot with Wang Xiaoya without a word.

The people were stunned for a moment, then began to disperse in an uproar.

The entire Celestial Realms City was quickly abuzz with the news of Long Fei’s return.

And he returned in kingly fashion, slaying the Eighth Prince and Taiyi Daoist as soon as he arrived.

For a moment, the whole city was in shock.

The news spread through the Nine Clans, reached the court, and made its way to the Empress Dowager’s ears.

The Empress Dowager, tending flowers in the rear garden, trembled and dropped the watering can to the ground, cursing angrily, "Traitor, rebel. How dare he kill even the Emperor’s prince? What is he trying to do? Is he planning a rebellion?"

The maids, frightened, fell to their knees, urgently pleading, "Empress Dowager, please calm your anger."

The Empress Dowager pointed, immediately ordering her subordinates to summon Prime Minister Yao Chong to the palace.

The next day, before dawn, Long Fei’s wanted notices were plastered across the city’s streets and alleys.

In no time, even the ordinary commoners were aware of the matter.

Everyone was astounded, whispering among themselves, wondering if the Imperial Son-in-law had gone mad, causing such a stir as soon as he returned.

While people were still reeling in shock, a piece of bad news quickly arrived.

The Demon Beast Army in the south had been rampaging and suddenly turned northward, sacking Heavenly Gate City south of Celestial Realms City last night.

The city’s cultivators and commoners rose in resistance, with countless casualties and bloodshed stretching for miles, turning the ground beneath the city into a blood sea.

Blood waterfalls flowed down from the city, not drying up overnight.

Now, the Demon Beast Army was less than a thousand miles from Celestial Realms City, poised to connect with the refugees below the city.

Such military news reached the court.

Prime Minister Yao Chong, without a word, immediately summoned the Nine Clans and the Li Family to discuss countermeasures, ordering the Nine Clan’s descendants to quickly fortify Central City while having Li Daoxun draw back all Imperial Guards from the surrounding eight cities to concentrate defenses in Central City.

Someone cursed outright, "That Long Fei is a Demon Race spy; before his return, the Demon Race didn’t come. How is it that he appears, and the Demon Beast Army heads this way?"

Someone suggested, "Deploy all the Outer Sect Disciples of Heaven-Piercing Palace to defend Central City!"

Li Daoxun immediately retorted, "What about the people in the other eight cities?"

An elder from the Nine Clans solemnly said, "Preserving the bloodline of the Human Race is crucial. Their fates are determined by heaven. If it’s a calamity, no one can change that."

Someone advised Li Daoxun, "General Li, although the Eighth Prince is no more, there are still voices in the court. You, as a soldier, should obey the orders from above, don’t act on impulse and ruin our Human Race’s grand cause!"

Another person chimed in, "Yes, it’s not worth it for a group of ants. Whether they live or die doesn’t matter to us; it’s insignificant to the Human Race. As long as we protect the Human Race elites in Central City, once the Heaven and Earth Laws change, we can still turn things around for the Human Race."

Li Daoxun erupted on the spot, "What kind of bullshit logic is this? They are ants, and only you are human. With the enemy at hand, instead of uniting against the threat, you only know how to preserve your strength. When lips are lost, teeth become cold; once the eight cities fall, what will you use to defend Central City? You wait for the Heaven and Earth Laws to change, don’t you think the Demon Race is also waiting? By then, when you become stronger, the Demon Race will still have strong individuals emerging. What will you use to fight them? What will protect our Human Race’s foundation?"

Yao Chong’s face changed, slapping the table fiercely, "Impudent, you, a mere Imperial Guard Commander, dare to speak to your superiors this way? If you disagree with our plan, then go home and rest! You won’t do it, there are plenty in the Imperial Guards willing to perform this duty."

"A brat cannot be plotted with!"

Li Daoxun glared coldly, turned around, and strode away.

"It’s rebellion, rebellion, everything’s going to hell!"

Yao Chong couldn’t help but curse profusely.

The Nine Clan elders exchanged glances and muttered among themselves, "Should we push this person out?"

"Don’t act rashly; the Li Family also has its powerful protectors. Don’t stir trouble at such a critical time!"

"We just need to achieve our plan, after all, the Imperial Guards aren’t dictated by the Li Family!"

"..."
