Edict of the Blade Fiend - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Rage!

If only his cousin, Zhou Yan was here, if only they were given the seal of the golden sword…

However, at this very moment, he was being forced to bend his knee, an insult and shame to the highest degree, but not a single soul would be willing to stand up for him.

“Brother Zhou Xian!”

The instant Zhou Xian was sinking in an ocean of despair, hopelessness and shame, a clear and beautiful voice touched the deepest chambers of his heart.

This was from a lass, whose name was Zhou Momo, whom he had never exactly favored… All because in the family, her mother was merely a lowly handmaiden, hence he assumed she was without any position of power.

This was a young lass whose strong silent romantic feelings the young lad was able to notice. However, the young lass had made no attempts in making the first move nor had she boldly spoken to him before.

A young lass who was merely in the first rank within the realm of the Blade’s Essence stood out for him in that moment.

“Zhou… Momo”

Zhou Xian mumbled in silence, as he attempted to resist the pressure on his body. However, he coughed out a puddle of blood.

“Yes, Brother Zhou Xian, don’t you worry, we will all be well! Those who dare bully us, will not end well!”

Zhou Momo stared coldly at Zhou Yang, and as she approached Zhou Xian, she used her slender body to help Zhou Xian up from the immense pressure that he had been inflicted by.

This was a pressure exerted from the Blade’s Menace. Although Zhou Yan was in the second rank of the realm of the Blade’s Menace, when he was being faced against an opponent as weak as Zhou Xian, embarrassing him in front of a crowd of people would be an extremely easy task to do.

Hence, at this moment a mere maiden whose powers were merely in the first rank of the realm of the Blade’s Essence had the audacity to stand against him, This thought made Zhou Yang laugh.

“All you lot from Canglan City are nothing more than a bunch of scum, and you lot still naively assumed that your Canglan City once had Zhou Wangchen and that alone gave you lot the right to act so arrogantly? You fools still think you were living in an incomparable glory? With my current status and position of power, murdering all of you is as easy as slaughtering dogs and hens, and you fools think I do not dare to do anything to you?!”

Zhou Yang was furious, however, he was smiling through his fury, then proceeded to exclaim, “Kneel for me! Anyone who dares defy me will be murdered!”

As the lad yelled, he unleashed his second rank within the realm of the Blade’s Menace, incredible ferocious Blade’s Menace. As the Blade’s Menace was unleashed both Zhou Lingyi and Zhou Lingyao instantly coughed up blood.

However, the both of them forcefully resisted this immense pressure and had refused to bend the knee!

“Hmph! Ignorant fools!”

As Zhou Yang noticed that with his sheer force alone was not enough to force these two to bend the knee, he proceeded to increase the output of his powers!

It was also at this moment, the first person to stand up for this lad was Zhou Momo, she was barely able to resist this immensely powerful force from the Blade’s Menace alone, as she felt like her body was suddenly about to explode as webs of cracks had began to form all over the young lass body!

Strands of cracks that were stained with blood were pouring out of her body without any signs of stopping, this was a ghastly sight indeed, terrifying to everyone around.

Her snow-white dress was also beginning to form webs of cracks, if the blood had not mixed with the cracks on her dress, her inner beauty would be on full display for everyone to witness.

The bones in both of her legs had instantly snapped, however, she had remained standing, and was staring with a gaze of pure rebellion at Zhou Yang, that gaze was seemingly hinting at him saying, “I will never submit! Brother Zhou Yan will avenge us!”

“You still refuse to bend your knees? Not bad, you have some foolish courage! Then, I shall make sure you lot remember this lesson!

“Do remember, the Zhou family from Canglan City are all lowlife hounds, if you lot refuse to wag your tails as a hound would do, then you lot should never have come here!”

It seemed Zhou Yang had recalled some events in the past as his entire expression had morphed into a much ferocious look in an instant!

“If you are truly capable, then by all means, kill me! The prime genius of our Canglan CIty, Zhou Yan will stop at nothing to avenge us! You will never have things your way soon enough!”

The young lass, Zhou Yao had been braving the immense power from the lad’s Blade’s Menace as the edge of her mouth was already bleeding, while she struggled to inch her way forward!

She had struggled painfully to get words out of her mouth, however, she had spoken her mind and was standing by Zhou Momo’s side.

It was not only her who had stood out, Zhou Bi and Zhou Gucheng too had stood forward.

This group had initially consisted of seven people, besides the raw prowess of Zhou Lingyi and Zhou Lingyao, it was obvious that Zhou Xian’s powers were not enough to face this man, however, Zhou Gucheng and the other people, were barely at the first rank of the realm of the Blade’s Cardinal, how could they possibly face such ‘powerful’ foe?

However, although their outcome was death, they boldly stood forward.

At this very moment, Zhou Lingyao’s gaze was seemingly on fire, however, Zhou Lingyi, on the other hand, had completely morphed into an extremely cold and emotionless young lass, the duo too had stood directly in front of Zhou Xian.

The initial grief and sadness Zhou Xian felt for having no one stand up for him had instantly been surprised by such a gesture.

Thus, in a sudden moment, he felt incredibly guilty for Zhou Gucheng who was merely a rank three swordsman stood up for his sake, he was incredibly moved and remorseful at this moment.

Due to the lack of power, they had ended up being oppressed and humiliated by someone else, furthermore, even a young lass who had very clear feelings for him would be murdered by this man! And a genius like him was incapable of defending a maiden who stood by his side!

“Ahh…”

Zhou Xian roared like a mad lad, he was being overwhelmed by a series of emotions as he rushed toward Zhou Yang as if he was fighting for his life.

“As I’ve said before, you lot from Canglan City are all low lives! Whoever this Zhou Yan lad is, who knew what kind of waves this insignificant loach could possibly cause? And now as everyone has witnessed, it was Zhou Xian who had committed insolence beforehand, it wasn’t I Zhou Yang who had made the first move!”

Zhou Yang laughed as a cruel sinister undertone flashed across his eyes, it was similar to a predaceous wolf, while an indescribable sinister aura emanated from his very own body.

This was an indescribable ferocious glare, under such a situation, Zhou Yan glared directly at Zhou Bi, Zhou Yao, Zhou Momo and Zhou Lingyi as the lad’s face had grown even more sinister and menacing than before!

It seemed he had intended to completely strip these stunning maidens off their clothes, presenting their bodies to everyone to the entirety of the plaza!

He had unleashed a wave of Blade’s Menace directly into Zhou Xian’s soul, he had intended to rely on his pure Blade’s Menace’s powers alone to completely destroy Zhou Xian!

At the same time, he had unleashed his Blade’s Essence, an infinite and boundless Blade’s Menace were as if there were millions of hidden blades emanating an indescribably menacing bloodlust.

However, it was at this very moment, the entire scene had seemingly frozen in time.

A young lad and an elegant young lass walked into this area, that young lass was incredibly adorable, however, her face was inhumanly cold, the young lad on the other hand, those pair of eyes…

Those were eyes of incredibly predaceous nature, Zhou Yang had never witnessed such menacing gaze in the entirety of his lifespan, however this gaze seemed to possess an invisible burning ball of flame within, it was burning his very own soul, suffocating him!

In the face of such menacing gaze, he felt chills coursing through the entire length of his spine!

…

As the young lad returned to the plaza with Zhou Ying, Zhou Yan was still in an incredible mood, however, he sensed something was amiss coming from the plaza itself, thus,without a moment of hesitation, he unleashed his soul’s ability to sense the entire situation from a distance!

Thus, upon sensing what had went wrong in that scene, the young lad felt as if his entire face had been violently stomped on, as his blood began to violently boil.

This was an indescribable menace of wrath, never had the young lad thought, after he had reached such an extent, after receiving the Seal of the Golden Sword, there were still some incredibly ignorant fools who dared cause him trouble in that spot.

This was literally an insult to the young lad! Could it possibly be due to the lack of impact from his earlier display?

Or could it possibly be there was a certain group of people in the main family who specialized in dwelling on the hate of Zhou Wangchen or perhaps the resentment of the entirety of the Zhou family from Canglan City?

With a single detection skill, Zhou Yan was able to very clearly perceive everything as it took place. He willed himself to suppress all of his anger in his heart, as he wanted to watch if the Zhou family would unite when one of them had been bullied by someone else.

If there were none who had stood up for Zhou Xian earlier, he would not be bothered to save these people!

However, as the young lad watched, Zhou Yan was remorseful as even a rank three Swordsman, Zhou Gucheng had stood out for Zhou Xian.

Zhou Lingyao and Zhou Lingyi were both mortally wounded.

Zhou Momo on the other hand…was beyond salvation.

Her soul had been shattered to pieces and her body had been completely severed to multiple pieces, the only difference was, there was no immensely powerful wave of energy crushing her body.

If there was another wave of energy crushing her body, her entire soul would fade away from existence.

Although this young lass had never favored Zhou Yan initially, however, she loved Zhou Xian. However, Zhou Yan was aware that she had merely naively disliked him, and never possessed any ill thoughts toward him.

To have picked her alongside him this time, Zhou Yan was delighted to notice the remorse and gratitude in her eyes.

However, this time, with a mere test that was done by Zhou Yan alone had almost indirectly caused her death!

Thus, Zhou Yan was unable to bear the weight of such an outcome since he was a man who valued close bonds. It was only natural for the young lad to allow the people which he had brought along with him to perish before they had a chance to grow and develop their potentials.

It mattered not if those people had initially disliked him back then. In the end, they shared the same bloodline with the young lad, these people were his brothers and sisters, and it mattered not to the young lad if occasional squabbles had happened, however, it would be a different tale if his own family had been bullied by an outsider.

Zhou Yan was in an incredibly bitter mood, as his bloodlust had been unleashed toward this young lad who dared so casually murder the members of his family!

In addition to that fact, it seemed even by killing this man would do little to satiate his immense bloodlust.

“Little Frost, with my current abilities, am I capable to instantly murder this man? How vast would your powers be if you had fully unleashed them?”

As Silver Frost had been unleashing an immensely powerful Blade’s Menace, the young lad had been discussing this matter with Silver Frost throughout the entirety of his journey, after it had held off the lethal wave of energy that was closing in on Zhou Yao and the others with her.

“Brother Zhou Yan, if you had unleashed the full extent of your powers, I believe your combat prowess is equal to a second-rank Blade’s Enforcer scholar, however, if you had used the Blade’s Specters from your trump card, then it is possible to murder this man whose powers were in the second rank of the realm of the Blade’s Menace. However, it was not guaranteed! ”

“However if you had unleashed the powers of your soul within my very own Blade’s Specter, then the sheer power alone is stronger than any scholar who was in the very peaks of the third rank within the realm of the Blade’s Menace. However, this would have two significant side effects.”

“The first might be stopping my master’s training… although this was not exactly a major problem, however, it would have caused some minor complications.”

“The second would be, if Brother Zhou Yan had used the strength of your own soul, it would cause some serious complications to your own soul, although your soul is significantly powerful, however under such forceful unleash to your soul, in addition to how much you had exhausted from your soul’s powers earlier, if that stress continues, you would cause irreparable damage to your soul, it would completely drain your soul.”

The Blade’s Specter of Silver Frost, Little Frost explained.
