48: Chapter 48 The Lonely King Xuanyuan Sword Slays Traitors!

Hearing that the Orc Chieftain was going to launch him, Tokugawa Ieyasu was terrified.

"No... don't, please, I don't want to die."

He had run all this way just to escape Xu Xuan.

Now this Orc Chieftain actually wanted to launch him onto the island, this...

This kind of thing... no!

But having become someone else's servant, was there any possibility of resistance?

Did he really think he could survive just by being someone's dog?

As a dog, if the master tells you to go to your death, you have to brace yourself and go.

If the master is hungry and has nothing to eat, the first thing they'll do is stew the dog and eat it.

Did Tokugawa Ieyasu think he could peacefully become a Sycophantic Advisor after surrendering?

He even suggested the Chieftain launch himself onto the island; wasn't that just seeking death?

"You suggested launching me onto the island. That's a good suggestion, but let me launch you up first, cutie!"

With a wave of his hand, the Orc Chieftain ordered his men to carry Tokugawa Ieyasu and his savage subordinates onto the catapult.

Tokugawa Ieyasu screamed repeatedly, "It won't work, Lord Chieftain! If I'm launched up there, I'll turn into meat paste the moment I hit the ground."

Hearing this, the Orc Chieftain looked thoughtful. "Hmm, you're right. Your skinny little monkey body is too weak."

Hearing those words, Tokugawa Ieyasu breathed a sigh of relief.

Had this idiot orc finally realized he couldn't be launched?

However...

He then heard the Orc Chieftain say, "But as long as you're implanted with beast blood, you'll become stronger."

What?!

Before Tokugawa Ieyasu could react, an Orc Shaman nearby forcibly stuffed a lump of unknown meat into his mouth.

A lump of mysterious meat was shoved into his mouth, the kind that would burst with juices.

Tokugawa Ieyasu almost vomited after swallowing it, feeling a fishy smell and something particularly disgusting.

After swallowing, a line of text appeared before Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes.

[You have entered a state of Beastification; Beast Blood Boiling! In exchange for burning your life force, you gain a 10x attribute boost.]

A 10x attribute boost?

The cost is burning life?

Tokugawa Ieyasu's expression changed drastically, but the Orc Chieftain's next words gave him hope for survival.

"As long as you secure a landing spot after getting on the island, I will let you live."

"Now, start proving your strength. Launch!"

With a wave of the Orc Chieftain's hand, Tokugawa Ieyasu and his savage subordinates, over a hundred people in total, were continuously launched onto the Floating Island.

A 10x attribute boost!?

Under the influence of the beast blood, Tokugawa Ieyasu seemed to no longer feel fear; instead, a surging battle intent began to rise within him.

The beast blood was eroding his brain, and a strong desire to survive rose in his heart.

There is an old saying in Great Xia: to capture the bandits, first capture their leader. If he could just take down Xu Xuan, he could end this battle!

The entire lord system revolved around the lord.

Once the lord was captured or killed, no matter how many troops were on the Floating Island, it would be in vain.

Flying through the air after being launched, Tokugawa Ieyasu began searching for Xu Xuan's location.

He saw him!

With his attributes increased tenfold, he was no longer that old man who would pant just from running; his body seemed to have returned to his youth, even surpassing his peak state.

The current Tokugawa Ieyasu was terrifyingly strong. His eyes, like those of an hawk, locked onto Xu Xuan's position among the tens of thousands of people.

"It's him!"

Seeing Xu Xuan in his high school uniform, Tokugawa Ieyasu began to adjust his body, gliding through the air like a skydiver using the wind.

He saw Xu Xuan, and he also saw his wife and daughter living on the island.

Seeing his wife and daughter, an inexplicable rage rose in Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart.

His wife and daughter were living on this island? They must have been defiled by Xu Xuan!

"You damn bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Evil grew from his courage, and anger rose from his heart.

Falling from the sky, Tokugawa Ieyasu adjusted his body and landed in front of Xu Xuan.

A perfect opportunity!

Because at this moment, there was no one around Xu Xuan, not a single guard.

In his current state of Beast Blood Boiling, burning his own life to maintain his combat power, he could surely decapitate Xu Xuan directly and claim victory in this war!

In the eyes of the beast-blood-crazed Tokugawa Ieyasu, Xu Xuan was just a lone, weak, and helpless person.

With his tenfold attributes, he would take him down instantly!

The moment he was alone with him, Tokugawa Ieyasu let out a strange cry.

But in Xu Xuan's eyes, this was all a very comical and ridiculous existence.

Xu Xuan curled his lips, watching this middle-aged man charge at him as if looking at a moron.

Seeing Xu Xuan mocking him, Tokugawa Ieyasu felt as if someone had stepped on his tail, wounding his pride.

He roared, "Idiot! I am no ordinary person now; I am empowered by beast blood. You dare take my wife and daughter? I'll kill you!!!"

Watching this Japanese man shouting like a monkey as he rushed towards him.

Xu Xuan calmly raised his hand.

[Status 'Assassination Attempt' triggered. Title 'Lonely King' activated!]

In the next moment, a Xuanyuan Sword appeared out of thin air in Xu Xuan's hand.

In the distance, Chi You and Xing Tian's powerful bodies trembled!

When Nvba saw Xu Xuan holding the Xuanyuan Sword, her eyes also lit up.

The Sword of the Sacred Path of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan!

One who could be recognized by this sword possessed the potential of a Great Emperor!

As for why these generals didn't come to protect him, it was actually because Xu Xuan had ordered them not to act rashly; he wanted to try and trigger the effect of this title.

Because the Lonely King title stated: [The effect of this title will be activated when you encounter an assassination attempt.]

When he saw the Xuanyuan Sword floating out, Xu Xuan suddenly understood what "Lonely King" meant.

It wasn't saying he was alone, but... it had another level of meaning.

The Xuanyuan Sword was the symbol of the Xia nation!

Was this indicating that he should walk the path to becoming a king alone?

[Lonely King Effect: When you encounter danger, you can summon a projection of the Xuanyuan Sword and receive a blessing of one-millionth of the artifact's divine power. This effect will be hidden once the danger is resolved.]

Looking at the Xuanyuan Sword gripped in his hand, and then at the beast-blood-polluted Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Xu Xuan gripped the Xuanyuan Sword and felt an invisible force pouring into his body.

In the next moment, he instinctively swung the blade, sweeping out a strike!

A majestic golden sword qi swept past, and the charging Tokugawa Ieyasu fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.

As the golden sword qi swept over him, the beast blood in Tokugawa Ieyasu's body was instantly purified.

The Xuanyuan Sword contained infinite power and was a divine sword for slaying demons and devils; a mere filth like beast blood was wiped away completely.

Deprived of the beast blood's empowerment, Tokugawa Ieyasu was stunned. When he looked up, he only saw Xu Xuan's smiling face.

Without the beast blood, Tokugawa Ieyasu's lips twitched uncontrollably. "Ha, ah ha. What happened to me just now? I... I was impulsive. Spare me, spare me!"

But then he saw Xu Xuan release the Xuanyuan Sword, letting it float in mid-air.

A smile appeared on Tokugawa Ieyasu's face. "Does that mean... you're going to let me go?"

"No, it's just that the sword is too precious, and you're not worthy."

Then, Xu Xuan picked up a long spear and thrust it through Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart.

[Global Announcement: The human race traitor Tokugawa Ieyasu has been personally slain by the Great Xia Lord. Xu Xuan has received the award for 'Eliminating the Traitor'!]
