The Last Primal



True enough.

Si Junyu sneered coldly, "Young 'Princess' Khouge, you are truly careful to only bring one person with you so as to not attract attention. However…"

"Don't forget, this is the Great Forbidden Ruins, a messy place that isn't part of the territory of the Great North. It's impossible for you to hide from avoiding attention completely!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Si Junyu laughed. "Interesting. To think that the great empress of Great North would take such a huge risk to come here on this day every single year. Seems like you've got an uncanny relationship with that monster incarnate who died five years ago?"

"I heard that the monster incarnate's elder brother went missing. He can't be hidden away by you… right? Hahahaha!"

"What do you want?" The woman spoke and interrupted Si Junyu's laughter.

Si Junyu retracted his smile and barked coldly. "Of course, I want to solidify my ascension to the throne by retrieving your head!"

Bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.

The young monk's gaze turned cold.

Dragon Burial Valley.

Seetho Khouge and Mighty Martial Grandmaster Lord Mor Hall stood at the edge and had nowhere to retreat.

Mighty Lord Mor Hall had a grim expression.

The two Martial Grandmasters that stood in midair had frightening auras and sharp gazes – they were martial artists of Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect.

The man on the left with a long face was Guan Sui and he specialized in using dual swords.

The skinny old man on the right was Mighty Lord Troy Sar. He trained a supreme sword technique that even dust couldn't penetrate once it was released!

Both of them were experts of the North Region who were way more famous than he was.

If it was a one-on-one fight, Mighty Lord Mor Hall was confident that he could maneuver his way through.

However, if the two of them struck at the same time, he would definitely be defeated!

Behind Si Junyu, there were another 20 Martial Masters.

Apart from the top guards of the Great South Dynasty, there were 10 Martial Master sword martial artists from Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect who were all at late-stage or perfected Martial Master realm!

Any few people from the 20 were enough to suppress Seetho Khouge!

It was clear that the other party had planned this for a long time and came prepared, not intending to give them any chance.

Mighty Lord Mor Hall frowned tightly and was anxious internally.

Given the circumstances, it was already difficult for him to protect himself, let alone escort Seetho Khouge out of this place.

In the martial world, sword martial artists had the greatest killing power!

Nobody could guarantee that they would be able to escape unscathed against the attacks of two great sword martial artists.

Seetho Khouge had a calm expression and glared at Si Junyu coldly – there were no signs of weakness or fear in her eyes!

Piak! Piak! Piak!

Si Junyu clapped and raised his chin, smiling. "It's no wonder why you're the empress of a dynasty. To think that you can still maintain your composure even at this moment. I hope that you can remain as calm when you end up in my hands later on."

"Fufu, I can't wait to… get my hands all over you!"

Clang! Clang!

The sound of swords unsheathing echoed.

Beside Si Junyu, five guards and five martial artists of Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect moved at the same time and charged towards Seetho Khouge.

The other 10 people guarded Si Junyu.

Seetho Khouge had a cold gaze and circulated her Martial Master, slapping her storage bag.

Swash!

Two flying swords hovered at the front before bursting through the air!

"My!"

Si Junyu yelled in fake surprise, "Two top-grade artifact weapons! Impressive, impressive!"

"Hurgh!"

The five Great South guards were clad in armor and strode forward with cold expressions. They struck at the same time in unison with a ferocious momentum!

Clang!

Five thick swords collided heavily against the incoming flying sword.

Sparks flew everywhere!

The five blades were only top grade artifact weapons.

However, the five men had higher martial realms than Seetho Khouge and furthermore, they were trained in their combo attacks! The slashes of those five blades caused one of the supreme-grade flying swords to be repelled instantly!

A look of mockery flashed through one of the Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect's martial artists. He struck immediately and twisted his sword, causing sword energy to surge forward and repelled the other flying sword.

The difference was too great!

In a single round, she had already lost control of both her supreme-grade flying swords!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The other four sword energies streaked past Seetho Khouge.action

Buzz!

The robe she was wearing glowed brightly with four spirit patterns in a bedazzling manner, withstanding the killing power of the sword energy.

It was the robe that Aiden had crafted for her personally back then.

Although it could withstand the sharpness of the swords, it could not block out their power completely. Seetho Khouge grunted dully and her face turned paler.

To be fair, if not for the fact that Si Junyu wanted to capture her alive, it would have been too easy for those sword martial artists to kill her.

Si Junyu remarked leisurely, "Seetho Khouge, I'd advise you to surrender obediently and spare yourself the pain."

Seetho Khouge clenched her teeth unyieldingly and circulated her Martial Master wildly as she conjured a hand seal and released a secret skill of the Great North Dynasty!

"Emperor Defensive energy!"

Seetho Khouge's spirit energy surged fanatically and gathered at her fingers through specific meridians.

Pointing forward gently, spirit energy surged out and formed an arrow rain of sword energy in midair that shot towards the 10 incoming Martial Masters.

The Emperor Defensive energy was a secret skill of the Great Forbidden Place's lost empire.

The Great North Dynasty only managed to secure an incomplete section of it.

Even so, the might of that secret skill was not to be underestimated and it consumed an immense amount of spirit energy.

Seetho Khouge had just advanced to Martial Master realm and the burst of that spirit art depleted her spirit energy almost entirely – her Martial Master was already throbbing in pain!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Be it the Great South guards or the sword martial artists of Heavenly Piercing Sword Sect, none of them were afraid.

Their blades and swords danced and welcomed the incoming sword energy, dispersing them entirely.

Even Emperor Defensive energy could not stop the advancement of 10 Martial Masters!

Seetho Khouge grit her teeth with a resolute gaze.

The Dragon Burial Valley was right behind her!

As the Empress of Great North, she'd rather die than endure humiliation at the hands of Si Junyu!

At the most, she would just be crushed!

In mid-air.

The outcome of the fight between Mighty Lord Mor Hall and the two sword martial artists was about to be shown.

To be precise, it was the death of one party!

Mighty Lord Mor Hall had already used all his strength and released all his trump cards. Even then, he could not withstand the edge of the two sword martial artists and was wounded from head to toe as blood stained his robes.

"Ugh!"

Mighty Lord Mor Hall's gaze dimmed as he sighed internally. "It's over, it's over! Even after cultivating for hundreds of years, I can't complete this path. Such is the martial world."

"Seems like the Dragon Burial Valley is truly an unlucky place."

Mighty Lord Mor Hall smiled in self-mockery.

Below him, Seetho Khouge already had nowhere to retreat.

Turning around to look at the dark and mysterious Dragon Burial Valley behind her, she had no fear nor sadness in her eyes. Instead, there was relief and ease.

"Aiden, did you jump from here five years ago?"

"I'm coming to join you now five years later!"

Seetho Khouge smiled and leaped down into the Dragon Burial Valley!

All of a sudden!

A white light flashed at an extremely fast speed and coiled around Seetho Khouge's waist like a python.

Seetho Khouge was about to fall when she was coiled by an extremely nimble spirit rope and yanked up from the cliff directly!

A Great South guard was on the other end of the spirit rope.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The spirit rope continued coiling and instantly restrained Seetho Khouge's limbs – she had no way of breaking free!

Si Junyu reared his head in wild laughter and remarked gleefully, "Young Princess Khouge, I've already expected that move from you and prepared for it! There's no way you're going to have such an easy death!"

Seetho Khouge's face turned pale.

She was not afraid of death. Rather, she was afraid of the humiliation she would face from Si Junyu.

At that time, the entire Great North Dynasty would become a joke!

"Bring that woman over here,"

Si Junyu laughed with a sharp glint in his eyes. "I want to see how the Empress of Great North is going to perform when she's kneeling in front of me! Hahaha!"

"Understood!"

A guard strode forward and reached out to whisk Seetho Khouge up.

All of a sudden!
