Chapter 552: Thrust Kill
Emperor Akihito stood silently to the side. Tsukiha Yaiba's sudden attack on Shinzu Genshi caught him completely off guard. He had initially thought he was witnessing depraved lovers lost in debauchery. He hadn't expected an internal conflict to break out at such a moment.
Moreover, through their exchange, Emperor Akihito instantly gleaned a wealth of information. Li Xiaofei was unmistakably the name of someone from Great Xia. Tsukiha Yaiba had actually colluded with Great Xia. She was a true traitor to Jiepeng!
It seemed that Tsukiha Yaiba must have engaged in some clandestine activities during her time in Haijing City. But none of that mattered now. What mattered was that this pair of scheming adulterers had turned on each other.
Could this be my chance to escape?
As this thought crossed his mind, Tsukiha Yaiba's gaze suddenly fell upon Emperor Akihito.
"Your Majesty," she said sweetly, "Since you like me so much, why not give your life to me?"
Her expression turned icy before her words could even echo around the room. She extended her hand and grasped the air. Emperor Akihito's body lifted into the air and floated into Tsukiha Yaiba’s hands. Her hand came to rest on his back.
"You... ah!"
Emperor Akihito of Jiepeng was startled as fear quickly spread across his face. He could feel an endless devouring force from Tsukiha Yaiba's palm. In an instant, his blood essence, inner qi, the energy of his Inscribed Treasure Bone, and even his very life force began to drain away like sand slipping through an hourglass. The threat of death had never felt so real.
"No, don’t kill me!" Emperor Akihito pleaded loudly, begging for his life.
Death would strip him of everything. Not even supreme power could save him now. Li Xiaofei’s star-like eyes glimmered with a sharp light.
