The Sword Palace: Book 5 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

by Fat Bread

  The White Emperor and the challenger.

  Although they were surrounded by over a million people, this was still their own "two person world".

  "Let my Little Xi come back, otherwise, I will tear you into pieces!"

  Hua Huo said in a threatening manner.

  "If I say no, what can you do?" Yun Xi smiled bitterly. Where could he find another himself returning to Hua Huo?

  The White Emperor was Yun Xi!

  Even though he had put on the mask and was called another name by all people, he was still himself, he didn't become another person. Even he himself felt that this reality was too unreal.

  It was all the fault of Yun Que's "Expansion Plan of A Million Brides"!

  Yun Que left this world so carefreely, but he had never thought what would happen to him.

  No wonder that Hua Huo doubted that I'm not my own. What a big misunderstanding!

  "Hey hey... it seems that you are still trying to pretend..." Hua Huo turned more hostile.

  He can't be Yun Xi.

  My Little Xi won't speak to me in this tone.

  Since he is not my Little Xi, but just a body that is possessed by the evil mask, then all the mistakes this body made, weren't my Little Xi's fault.

  It's all this cursed mask's fault!

  The so called White Emperor isn't my Little Xi, but this mask is!

  She finally understood why she didn't know it was her Little Xi when she first saw this man.

  It wasn't simply because he was wearing the mask and his body became more mature, it was because of his temperament. It was just an evil soul that was controlling Little Xi's body!

  Looking at Hua Huo's serious face, Yun Xi had finally figured it out.

  This is an inevitable battle.

  The "Little Xi" in Hua Huo's heart is me, but also not me.

  Perhaps in Hua Huo's heart, the "White Emperor" who married a million girls was a heinous bastard.

  But it wasn't the truth, unfortunately, Yun Xi couldn't explain it.

  Because the "White Emperor" was indeed himself.

  Yun Xi wanted to deny it, but he knew he had to come back to the real world. This was not a dream anymore, but the reality.

  Therefore, he was indeed the "White Emperor" who would accept Hua Huo's challenge.

  For the first time, he and Hua Huo stood on the same stage looking at each other.

  He was also curious about how strong he was now, and what a graceful bearing Hua Huo would show in the battle.

  Oh, I'm really am a bad man.

  Just because I want to see my cute childhood sweetheart's most excellent side, I chose to fight against her. If other people knew my idea, they would undoubtedly laugh at me.

  Hua Huo, do you know that?

  I still love you so much that I cannot extricate myself from the White Emperor!

  Countless mists gushed towards the Caelian City from all directions. Although Yun Xi had lost his one million brides' power, however, the realm he once experienced was still living in his brains.

  His body firmly remembered that realm and used the power that belonged to the realm naturally.

  "Fight for me, my brides!" Yun Xi murmured and summoned the three High Priestesses' Mist Souls. Both of his words and movement made Hua Huo's anger rise to the sky.

  The Wonder - Water God's Opera House appeared behind Yun Xi, the three High Priestesses' Mist Souls stood on the three stages.

  Since he had decided to fight against his powerful childhood sweetheart, he would show his strongest side too.

  The three Mist Souls looked at each other and started to sing at the same time.

  It was a song and a prayer, the will of the entire world contained in their voices. It was the blessing the world granted to Yun Xi.

  Along with the song, nine crimson ribbons spread out from Yun Xi's crown. Although they were not the nine snake tails that appeared when he fought against Shaya Longnis, they were also made by Hydra's god power.

  The nine ribbons stood for Hydra's nine lives, it was the White Emperor's Fighting Stance.

  Now, Yun Xi was wearing the white Sailing Jellyfish's Robe, the silver White Emperor Mask, and the Water God's Crown. He used the three artifacts from the beginning, because he didn't dare to let Hua Huo have any chance of attacking first.

  Hua Huo who hadn't reached the hero rank, could even beat down his Mist Soul Army as a mortal. Nothing was impossible for her, and it would be too inadvisable to preserve his strength in front of her.

  "Arrrghhhh! You are not my Little Xi! You are not!"

  Compared to Yun Xi's three gorgeous artifacts, Hua Huo only paid her attention to the three beautiful figures on the stages behind Yun Xi.

  Her eyes almost burned with jealousy when she looked at the three singers behind Yun Xi.

  They are all casting loving eyes at my Little Xi, singing and praying for him... what an unpleasant feeling!

  You are just a mask that possessed my Little Xi's body, how could you make these horrid mistakes using his body!

  Even if Yun Xi could wake up from this nightmare, he will still be entangled by these women! Look at what a trouble you have brought to him, the White Emperor!

  Your hideous crime is deserving of the harshest punishment!

  Chapter 319: Fight Hand to Hand

  It has come down to this point, questions and answers are useless!

  You evil White Emperor, look what you did to my Little Xi!

  "Ahya!" A strong, terrible power rose from Hua Huo's body into the sky, the broken sword in her hand was immediately covered with a blood colored layer, and at the same time, her body became covered with runes by a crimson light shield.

  It was hard to believe that a human could obtain such a strong strength. Even when Yun Xi used Hydra's power, his strength was far inferior to the Hua Huo at this moment.

  "Oh, this is... Rigid Body..." Casina nodded first then shook her head later.

  No, it wasn't just the "Rigid Body", it had become a higher ranking body constitution just like the White Emperor's "Soft Body". It looked more like the "Iron Body" or another body constitution that was similar to it.

  In Buddhism, buddhists called it "Buddha's Warrior Attendant", which meant "indestructible" and "all range defense". It was one of the strongest hero ranked body constitutions, integrating attack and defense perfectly.

  Originally, the "Rigid Body" and "Soft Body" were two very rare body constitutions, the people who had an advanced body constitution of one of the two body constitutions was rarer.

  Today, there were even two special people of this genre, which was really a tiny probability that was like two meteorites dropped at the same location!

  Moreover, the male, the White Emperor had the Soft Body, and the female, Hua Huo had the Rigid Body, which was totally contrary to the usual situation.

  What an exciting battle!

  Unlike Casina's surprise, Yun Xi had expected Hua Huo's real strength.

  Oh, I knew it from the beginning. You are always so strong, you can always push your limits.

  In the past, I always looked at your back, looking at you walking further and further away. You are like the sun in the summer, and I'm just common grass, humble and lacklustre.

  Hua Huo, do you know that the talent you have shown had made me lose confidence in myself? I never dared to imagine that we could stand on the same stage together one day.

  That day he tried to run away from the small town alone, he spoke out his love to Hua Huo looking at the mirror.

  "You're as bright as the summer. You're my sun. I want to touch you but I worry about your scorching light."

  "You're so glamorous, so beautiful, and so tempting. I never thought that I could stay beside you in the future."

  "I love you, Hua Huo. I like the way you run, the gestures you make when you brandish your sword, and your face when you sweat."

  "Hua Huo, if I live for only eighteen years, then the ten years I stayed with you will be the greatest treasure of my l
ife."

  Today, he looked at the real Hua Huo on the stage, and not that mirror.

  No matter whether she was angry or went crazy because of jealousy, she was always glamorous in his eyes.

  Therefore, as the chief criminal of her anger, he must do his best to see how strong Hua Huo really was.

  Only in this manner, would he be able to know how wide the gap between them was and how much effort he still needed to pay to obtain the right to marry Hua Huo.

  He stepped on the ground, the infinite scene in his heart spread to the air.

  Only he, the master of the Water God's world, could see the entire world using this manner.

  He looked at the outline of this world, which was surrounded by the four World Towers and formed by eight islands and the Caelian City.

  Then, he moved.

  Then, the earth quaked as if a mountain was toppling down, because countless white lights were gushing out of the Door of Mist along Yun Xi's right hand.

  "The Water God's Momentum: Great Snow Crash!"

  "Burning Dragon's Roaring!" Hua Huo didn't feel fear. Countless blood lights spread around from under her feet, crashing into Yun Xi's "The Great Snow Crash".

  The "Great Snow Crash" was formed by the cold tides made of countless white snow grains.

  The "Burning Dragon's Roaring" was formed by the burning blood energy, which was even hotter than lava.

  This was a confrontation between water and fire, an encounter between ice and lava. From the beginning of the battle, they both immediately showed their thrilling powers.

  "It seems that soon after, two new bloods will ascend into the world of the legend rank." This was the first thought in Casina’s mind when she first saw their movements.

  Yun Xi's Soft Body and Hua Huo's Rigid Body were all superb keys that could open the door of the legend rank. They wouldn't stay at the hero rank too long.

  "Return my Little Xi to me!" Hua Huo roared. As translucent halos exploded under her feet, she disappeared from Yun Xi's sight.

  It was her Sky Flying, the god skill Yun Xi hadn't understood completely.

  This time, without the one million brides' power, Yun Xi couldn't even judge where Hua Huo had moved to.

  The ear-piercing sound of breaking the air pierced through Yun Xi's ears later. Hua Huo's speed was even faster than the speed of sound.

  Concentrating! Concentrating! Concentrating! If I let Hua Huo move close to me and grasp the rhythm of the battle, everything will be over!

  For a moment, Yun Xi felt he entered the state of when his body was possessed by Casina. Even time itself slowed down in his eyes.

  He clearly saw the traces of the ice grains, the ripples of the blood lights in the air, and the sword that was dropping from the sky to his head!

  I see it! I can clearly see the trace of the Sky Flying Sword!

  It was higher and faster than swallows, it was a god skill that was beyond the observation ability of human eyes!

  Nine ribbons rose in the air as if he just had nine additional arms. They formed the outline of an ice lotus and blocked off the attacking route of Hua Huo's Sky Flying Sword.

  "Ding!" The ice lotus didn't even exist for one second, then it had been crushed by Hua Huo's sword, turning into millions of ice particles flying in the air.

  The sword was still flying to Yun Xi without slowing!

  Chapter 320: The Disappearing Sword

  If one ice lotus couldn't stop her, how about more?

  Yun Xi didn't choose to seal Hua Huo in the huge ice mountain, like what he did in the battle on the Island of Mist, because the same trick was useless against her. If he used it again, it wouldn't be possible to seal her again as before.

  If anyone fought with Hua Huo, that person should never let his guard down or push his luck.

  Yun Xi knew Hua Huo better than anyone, so he treasured her very much.

  The second, the third, the fourth ice lotus appeared in the swing path of Hua Huo's sword. Since his "quality" was inferior to Hua Huo, then he would win her on "quantity".

  This was Hydra's world, as the White Emperor, Yun Xi could gain countless powers from the sky and the earth. Perhaps this was his only advantage when facing Hua Huo.

  Yun Xi also learned Yun Que's battle style after getting along with him for a long time. Although he didn't agree with Yun Que's view of "for victory I can be unscrupulous", Yun Xi learned his style of exerting advantages.

  Yun Xi couldn't find any weaknesses in Hua Huo with his eyes. No matter whether it was her attack, defence or speed, they were all perfect, even amongst all the hero ranked beings. It was hard to believe that she hadn't entered the hero rank yet, and her strength wasn't something possible to be obtained by humans.

  Yun Xi got touched with the Dragon God's Apostle, the White Holy Dragon's real body, he also saw the hidden fantasy creature in the Water God's world, the Mist Demon tree. On top of this, his body even carried the real power from Hydra, which was a genuine legend ranked power.

  Even so, Yun Xi still felt that Hua Huo's Bloodline power was so terrible that he couldn't even judge her limits, as if it was a power that never belonged in the mortal world.

  Hua Huo had only released a tiny part of her Bloodline power, and she was already able to kill a hero ranked male fiery dragon instantly, and she didn't even fear fighting against Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army of one million.

  What was hiding inside of Hua Huo's body, where did she come from? She was so strong, it was hard to believe that her parents in the small village were her real parents.

  After knowing how strong Hua Huo was, Yun Xi was curious about her secrets. He wanted to know everything about her.

  However, the most urgent matter at this moment, was to survive her attacks.

  "Ding!" After smashing seven ice lotus’ Yun Xi had created in the air, Hua Huo's sword finally stopped. At this moment, she was still ten meters away from Yun Xi, staring at him with anger and reluctance.

  "Dancing!" Hua Huo held the broken sword in her hands and brandished it toward Yun Xi.

  This time, the sword wasn't fast and didn't look powerful, but Yun Xi felt a sense of suffocating danger.

  "Ding!" In a hurry, Yun Xi created two ice lotus and tried to block her attack with them.

  However, they failed.

  The trace of her sword suddenly changed, brandishing toward him from a different direction.

  Yun Xi was dumbfounded.

  How can that be possible?

  Hua Huo's sword, the movement of her body all pointed out that her attack would come from the right side of Yun Xi's body. But in an instant, which was probably even shorter than a centisecond, she cancelled her movement and moved to another direction instantly.

  If he hadn't seen her secret, he wouldn't have been surprised, but in this world, apart from Casina, he was the only person who could see Hua Huo's movements clearly.

  Therefore, when he found that she had cancelled her movement and shifted her position in an instant, he was really shocked.

  By extracting energy from the sky and the earth, Yun Xi created four ice lotuses in the air again, and this was already his limit.

  The energy in this world was infinite, but the bearing capacity of his body had a limit. The maximum number of ice lotus he could control was nine, and every time an ice lotus was smashed, his body would also be harmed due to the link between himself and the ice lotus.

  Hua Huo's Sky Flying Sword wasn't something that was easily dealt with.

  "Ding!" Hua Huo moved and brandished her sword again, which totally conflicted with Yun Xi's common sense. She smashed three ice lotuses at a lightning speed.

  Then, she used her special skill again, moving close to Yun Xi, only five metres away from him now.

  Five metres, to a super swordsman like Hua Huo, it was a deadly attacking range.

  Feeling the burning blood lights, Yun Xi even sensed death itself.

  "Da!" The fourth attack. Yun Xi's final defence was also broke. The sword had fi
ercely scratched his face.

  No, this distance is too dangerous!

  I caught you!

  They looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts through their eyes. Yun Xi controlled the nine ribbons to form a crimson shield in the front of himself.
