Chapter 1043 (Recognize Who I Am)

However, Ye Hua saw the barely alive s.h.i.+ Yun. This former enemy had half of his body cut off by the blade's edge. He truly proved to be useless.

'How did I die in the hands of such a group of useless individuals back then? It's really too infuriating.'

Everyone completely ignored s.h.i.+ Yun, now in a pitiful state. They were all celebrating the win and n.o.body was paying attention.

But Ye Yuanqing on the city wall was looking at her big brother with confusion.

However, Ye Hua was facing away from Ye Yuanqing and knew that she was watching.

Ye Hua approached s.h.i.+ Yun and crouched down slowly.

"Prince... Ye..." s.h.i.+ Yun uttered a weak voice.

Ye Hua whispered, "Don't speak. Your injuries are severe."

"Prince, please treat me." I will surely repay you in the future," s.h.i.+ Yun pleaded softly. As a supreme being, as long as there was a breath left, there was still hope.

Ye Hua sighed softly, "I cannot agree to your request."

"Huh? Wh-why? I am injured," s.h.i.+ Yun was confused. He and Prince Ye hadn't had any conflicts. Why wouldn't he help him? Having a friend who is an Overlord would be helpful.

Ye Hua suddenly revealed a strange smile, lowered his head, and said slowly, "Look at my face and recognize who I am."

Ye Hua's face instantly turned into a skull.

Looking at the skull face and the red glow in those eyes, s.h.i.+ Yun was completely stunned.

Scenes from ten years ago instantly echoed in his mind. Hundreds of Overlords came to exterminate their group of eight. Half died and the rest were injured. The situation was concealed at that time because it was too embarra.s.sing.

But... Didn't that skeleton die? Why did it appear again? Is he Ye Hua, or is he a skeleton? What's going on?

Seeing s.h.i.+ Yun's terrified and desperate gaze, Ye Hua enjoyed it from head to toe. "Are you curious why I'm unharmed, who I really am?"

"You... You... You devil... Who are you!" s.h.i.+ Yun exclaimed.

Ye Hua chuckled and returned to his original appearance. "Who am I? I am Ye Hua. I died back then and turned into a skull, a member of the undead. You should understand now."

s.h.i.+ Yun, wide-eyed, never expected that Ye Hua truly died back then but became an undead, a menace to the world. Now, he has returned for revenge.

"You d.a.m.ned undead! You will receive punishment from the heavens and never find peace in the afterlife!"

Ye Hua calmly stated, "You believe in the heavens, and the heavens believe in me. Look into my eyes and feel the flames of h.e.l.l!"

Ye Hua spoke slowly, his pupils turning into flames, and s.h.i.+ Yun didn't want to look but couldn't resist.

Yet, he couldn't help but look over and saw s.h.i.+ Yun's pupils gradually turning into a substance resembling limestone, spreading throughout his entire body!

It was like being burned into carbon by flames.

Ye Hua looked at his enemy before him, chuckled lightly, and with this laughter, s.h.i.+ Yun's body turned into powder, merging into the ground. Even his soul was no exception, terrifying indeed.

Ye Yuanqing saw it but didn't understand why her brother killed s.h.i.+ Yun. She was puzzled.

Big brother didn't want to kill Huang Yun, yet he killed s.h.i.+ Yun. It's really strange.

Standing up, Ye Hua took a deep breath. Today was truly an eventful day!

However, at this moment, Huang Yun returned! Moreover, he came back with serious injuries!

"Commander! Commander! What happened to you?"

Supported by the Sun and Moon Divine blade, Huang Yun spoke laboriously, "Huang Li concealed his true strength, heavily wounded me, and escaped with the treasure!" After speaking, he unexpectedly fainted!

This wasn't a pretence by Huang Yun. It was real. The injuries on his body were very convincing; otherwise, he wouldn't have fooled the Emperor.

"Quick! Quick! Take the general back for treatment!"

Ye Hua watched with a tightly furrowed brow. Huang Li ran away? How was this possible! Wasn't Huang Yun supposed to be stronger than Huang Li? How did it end up like this? Did the original miscalculate?

This shouldn't be! It shouldn't be!

Just when Ye Hua felt something was off, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Then, a cold laugh followed. He looked at the carried away Huang Yun.

This guy's acting skills are truly outstanding. He actually dealt such heavy blows to himself. It was so convincing that even the Emperor was fooled!

"Hurry! Hurry! Take the commander for treatment!"

Ye Hua, seeing all this, furrowed his brow tightly. Huang Li escaped?

'This couldn't be! Huang Yun was supposed to be more formidable than Huang Li. How did it turn out like this? Did I make a mistake?'

'This shouldn't be! It shouldn't be!'

Just when Ye Hua felt something was off, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Then, a cold laugh followed. He looked at the carried away Huang Yun.

'This guy's acting skills are truly outstanding. He actually made me question myself.'

'But too bad'

'Everything was still in my hands.'

Back on the city wall, Ye Hua patted his sister's head. "Alright, let's go home."

"Big brother..." Ye Yuanqing directly leaned into Ye Hua's arms and cried. Those fallen soldiers couldn't get up again. It was the first time such significant casualties had occurred.

Ye Hua gently stroked his sister's hair and whispered, "Winning is enough. You've saved more people."

"Big brother, why did you kill him just now?" Wiping her tears, Ye Yuanqing asked pitifully.

Ye Hua sighed softly. "That s.h.i.+ Yun and I had a grudge."

"Oh, I see." Ye Yuanqing didn't ask further. If there's a grudge, it must be settled. That's a principle.

"Tidy up; we need to go back. The whole city will celebrate you, General Ye."

"Big brother, you're teasing me again. So many people died; what kind of victory is this?" Ye Yuanqing remained humble. All this was thanks to her big brother.

Ye Hua smiled and said nothing more.

And Ye Hua has to put on armour and go through the motions again. It's really frustrating.

After several hours of counting, a million soldiers were left to continue guarding the border. Everyone returned to Spirit City!

However, in the imperial palace of the Spirit City, Huang Fei's face was gloomy. He wasn't happy about the apparent victory because he knew it was just a show.

That guy Ye Hua didn't die! Even Ye Yuanqing won and came back alive!

Huang Yun was severely injured! Huang Li ran away with the Supreme Soul!

"Emperor, congratulations! It's a joyous occasion, repelling a formidable enemy," Shan Junren congratulated on the side, unaware that it was a play between the Emperors.

Huang Fei forced a smile, holding back the discomfort in his chest. Otherwise, it would be too fake.

But Shan Junren knew that the Emperor's mood must not be good. After all, the Crown Prince committed such unethical acts, damaging the dignity of the royal family. It would bring shame to the imperial family.

"Emperor!"

At this moment, Crow's figure appeared before Huang Fei.

Huang Fei squinted his eyes and asked, "Why? Why is Ye Hua still alive?"

Crow had already found an excuse, so he softly said, "Emperor, Ye Hua is cunning and elusive. I never found an opportunity! If I openly killed him, it would create an unfavourable situation."

"Waste! You had such a good opportunity and didn't seize it! You were afraid! What are you afraid of?" Huang Fei scolded Crow harshly, and even spittle landed on Crow's face.
