Chapter 207: Seizing the Throne (Part Two)
As a con artist, Ye Huan undoubtedly excelled, for in his eyes, Durei IV, who had never seen the appearance of White Impermanence, could not possibly recognize his identity. And indeed, throughout their conversation, Durei IV had engaged with him as if he were a clever victor of a Martial Arts Competition for Marriage. However, Ye Huan overlooked the most crucial point: sometimes being too clever is not a good thing.
Upon receiving Ye Huan's response and seeing the smile plastered across his face, even Durei IV, though not particularly bright, realized that this powerful White Impermanence was likely someone he knew in disguise. For the sake of the Emperor of Huaxia's throne, Durei IV would rather mistakenly kill than let an enemy go. The reason he hadn't used the Summoning Book earlier was that it was too conspicuous; using it might disturb others in the palace. Thus, after hearing Ye Huan's words, Durei IV merely nodded and said, "Alright, since you have agreed to my terms, I will allow you to take Zhao Ziyu out of the capital!"
With a satisfied smile and completely unaware that he had raised Durei IV's suspicions, Ye Huan slowly turned and walked toward Zhao Ziyu's quarters. Just at that moment, Durei IV suddenly moved. With a flick of his hand, three steel needles about ten centimeters long appeared in his grasp, glimmering with a faint green light—clearly coated with deadly poison.
Swish…
The sound of the needles slicing through the air echoed as they shot toward Ye Huan in an instant, closing in to within just ten centimeters of him.
Caught off guard and unprepared for such an abrupt attack, Ye Huan's first instinct was to dodge as far away as possible. But under these circumstances, teleportation was not an option.
Even using Shrink the Earth to an Inch, he managed to shift back a few centimeters just before the needles pierced his body. Instead of hitting his back directly where they were aimed, one needle struck into his left rear shoulder. Stiffly turning his head with reluctance, Ye Huan confronted Durei IV and asked, "Why?"
"Why? You come into the palace for the first time and manage to deal with Your Majesty in two months' time—forcing her to relinquish her throne. Isn't that enough?"
Durei IV's smile was chilling as he provided a straightforward answer. With another flick of his wrist, three more steel needles appeared in his hand. This left Ye Huan feeling utterly bewildered; after all, he had only known Durei IV as a Court Chief Summoner—no one had ever mentioned that he could wield hidden weapons. This concealment seemed excessively deep.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was off. Realizing that he was appearing as another person, Ye Huan suddenly came to a realization and shouted angrily, "You are not Durei IV!"
"Haha, ridiculous! How could I possibly not be Durei IV?"
Without hesitation, Durei IV flung three steel needles toward Ye Huan. Laughing maniacally, Durei IV watched as the needles pierced Ye Huan's chest. Only then did Durei IV pull out the Summoning Book and pointed at the words 'Summoning Encyclopedia' on it, saying to Ye Huan, "Look, you should recognize this Court Chief Summoner's Summoning Encyclopedia, right? How could I not be Durei IV?"
Staring intently at the Summoning Book in Durei IV's hand, Ye Huan found himself momentarily confused. However, he had long been prepared for this. Suddenly, a series of crisp sounds rang out as the previously thrown poisoned steel needles fell to the ground, and even Ye Huan's figure vanished.
Seeing this scene, two words popped into Durei IV's mind: Clone Technique!
As the Court Chief Ninth-Level Summoner of Huaxia Nation, Durei IV had witnessed the power of clones during battles against Easterners. Therefore, upon seeing Ye Huan use a clone technique, he immediately associated it with the identity of 'White Impermanence' possibly being an Easterner. What Durei IV did not know was that Ye Huan, as a Cultivator, had researched whether he could create a clone using the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within his Dantian after being deceived by Yamamoto Ichiki's Shadow Clone Technique.
Surprisingly, after more than two months of continuous research, Ye Huan had indeed figured out how to create a clone. It was just his first time using it, and who would have thought that it would work so well? Even Durei IV, a Ninth-Level Practitioner, failed to notice that after Ye Huan turned around, the 'White Impermanence' had already been replaced by an image formed from a strand of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
Standing on a stone platform several dozen meters away from Durei IV, having seen enough of the show, Ye Huan took out a Desert Eagle from his Spatial Ring and gently squeezed the trigger.
Bang!
The loud gunshot of the Desert Eagle echoed through the air as a blood hole appeared in Durei IV's shoulder. However, this wound was clearly not fatal for him.
"Ye Huan..."
Feeling the pain radiating from his body, Durei IV gritted his teeth and glared fiercely in Ye Huan's direction. He immediately spotted Ye Huan sitting on the stone platform, still playing with the Desert Eagle.
With a sly smile, Ye Huan stood up and walked a few steps to confront Durei IV, questioning him fiercely, "Teacher Durei IV, can you tell me what just happened? Why did you use a poisoned steel needle to attack your genius disciple? I never expected you had this up your sleeve..."
"Genius? You are the genius! But you have obstructed my path to becoming the Emperor of Huaxia!"
Roaring in anger, Durei IV resembled a wounded lion. However, to Ye Huan, Durei IV now appeared to be nothing more than an old man blinded by power and ambition. Moreover, if it weren't for Ye Huan's quick thinking in creating a clone of himself, he might have been the one facing death. Thus, Ye Huan held no fondness for Durei IV; the only reason he hadn't killed him yet was that he still had many questions that needed answers from Durei IV.
Getting straight to the point, Ye Huan bluntly asked Durei IV, "Speak! Teacher Durei IV, what exactly do you rely on to dare to dream of becoming the Emperor of Huaxia?"
"Don't celebrate too soon. Although I don't know how you changed your appearance, I must tell you, Ye Huan, your father, Ye Tian, is currently in my hands..."
Upon hearing Ye Huan's inquiry, Durei IV quickly regained his composure and responded. The result left Ye Huan stunned in place, his voice filled with disbelief as he asked:
"What did you say?!"
