Path of the Tyrant King

67 I Refuse!

"AHHHHH!" Ye Yuyan roared to the heavens as the pink flames engulfed his body. The flames permeated into his eyes turning his sclera pink as the desirous emotions flared throughout him.

"YE YUYAN!" Mercer viciously growled as lightning crackled and thunder pealed around him. The electrical currents gathered towards his right hand and coalesced into a thin long sword in an instant.

Song Yue coldly glanced at Mercer and raised her arm to block his advance: "Stand aside, you will have your chance."

The Verulyim king turned to meet Song Yue's gaze and saw a linger silhouette of a white lotus, deep inside of him a primal fear emerged suddenly weakening his resolve. He tightly gritted his teeth and squeezed his sword handle and took a step back.

Song Yue glanced over to her right side, and glanced at three people, the blonde woman in thick heavy armor, the disheveled knight, and the saffron-robed monk and commanded: "Wang Shi, Yang Cheng, and Qin Shui start the West Formation!"

"Marks of Justice, Lady Lustitia!" Wang Shi roared releasing yellow marks across her body, the marks coalesced into a yellow woman in a white tunic, she wore a blindfold and held in one hand the scales of justice, and in the other a sword!

"Marks of Prudence, Athena!" Yang Cheng joined in unleashing a torrent of white marks throughout his body, the marks recombined forming into a plain young woman dressed in a white tunic formed the clouds, her gray eyes glimmered coldly as she stood stalwart behind Yang Cheng.

As Yang Cheng and Wang Shi activated their bloodlines, Qin Shui hesitated as he stared at Ye Yuyan. His saffron robes swayed automatically as he closed his eyes and softly whispered: "Marks of Temperance, Buddha!"

Across his limbs appeared hundreds of saffron marks that blended into his robes, the marks recombined into an orange immortal figure behind him. The figure sat in lotus form with his hands in two mudras, orange light distorted around his face obscuring the figure's appearance.

"West formation!" They simultaneously commanded and suddenly their auras fused together, the hundred of motes of light fused together as their aspects dissipated into the formation.

Immortal Qi surged as they became surrounded in a transcendent white Qi, Qin Shui appeared at the front of the triangle formation with the other two manning the other two ends.

"White... LOTUS!" Ye Yuyan roared with desirous pink eyes as he paced along the platform's tiles.

"West Formation Attack!" Song Yue commanded with a frightening shout, Qin Shui stirred the formation into motion and the equilateral triangle filled with immortal Qi as the energy surged. Qin Shui extended his hand palm and suddenly exhaled: "Ha!"

The immortal Qi condensed into his palm and shot out as an indomitable beam of light. The condensed plasmic powers instantly appeared in front of Ye Yuyan who stood still and sneered. Ye Yuyan's eyes glazed over with a frosty light as they turned a piercing blue obscuring a pink glint within them.

On Ye Yuyan's glabella, the first lotus leaf surged releasing an endless amount of Lunar Qi into his body. The freezing force emanated as a cold aura and surrounded Ye Yuyan body as the beam of light crashed into him.

Ye Yuyan's frosty gaze lit up and suddenly the cold auras jumped off him and surrounded the immortal Qi. The Lunar Qi propagated without end as it froze the immortal Qi turning it into an ice block.

BOOM!

Suddenly the block of ice exploded destroying the immortal Qi. Qin Shui's mouth gaped with shock as he exclaimed: "What?!?"

"Frost Qi and Propagation..." Song Yue crossed her arms and intoned with a grim tone.

Around Ye Yuyan frost Qi rippled into existence, surrounding him with hundreds of globs formed from frost Qi.

Ye Yuyan extended his pointer and middle fingers out stirring the frost Qi into motion as he intoned: "Blue Moon's song!"

Instantly, the hundreds of globules shot out turning into icy dragons! They cut through the air freezing everything in their way as they rippled towards the west formation!

"Guard!" Qin Shui roared releasing a stream of immortal Qi around the formation forming a barrier around the formation.

Shoooo!

Hundreds of ice dragons crashed into the formation barrier and ripped through the thin defenses leaving hundreds of small holes. Qin Shui moved his hands rapidly forming hand seals at supersonic speed.

The handseals turned into various restrictions and flew at the ice dragons as they penetrated the shield. As the handseals landed on the ice dragons, they diffused the frosty Qi leaving icy remnants.

Yang Cheng levitated atop the inner corner of the triangle when suddenly his eyes flashed open and he scanned over the Qi on the edge of the barrier. He abruptly turned to Wang Shi and yelled at her: "Wang Shi, stop the remnants!"

Ye Yuyan sneered and squeezed his palm, the remnant blue Qi rippled as they rapidly fused together. The Qi pierced through the remaining holes and suddenly exploded into a fantastical radiant blaze. Lightning crackled amidst the frosty Qi and permeated throughout the barrier.

Wang Shi's eyes shone with golden light as she roared: "A Lady's Judgment!"

Immortal Qi distorted behind her as a lady in a white tunic came into existence. She held in one hand a golden sword and in the other the scales of justice.

The instant the radiant Qi detonated, the Lady raised her right hand and brought the scales of justice down onto the aura remnants. The crushing power of the scales bore down on the Qi, dispelling the radiant nature of the Qi under the weight of justice!

Ye Yuyan's eyes narrowed as he quickly glanced to the right and dodged to the right. Instantly, a massive black greatsword came out from nowhere and bore down on Ye Yuyan's previous position.

The massive sword lodged into the ground causing light trembles as the tile silently shattered. The greatsword distorted with black lights as a dark robed giant appeared holding the sword.

"Oh, I missed..." Ming Shan coldly laughed as he raised his greatsword from the ground.

Shooo!

Ye Yuyan's eyes narrowed again as he instantly gathered Lunar Qi in front of him. Hundreds of Lunar Qis surrounded him and compressed down into a thick barrier as suddenly a hand shot out from the darkness and grabbed towards him.

The sly hand easily cut through the barrier and grabbed towards Ye Yuyan, when suddenly Ye Yuyan's left and right eyes shone with Lunar and Lightning Qi.

The Thundercrystal matrix in his body kicked in overdrive as the radiant Qi sped up through his visceral organs. His cells tightly bonded together as a thin layer of crystals formed on Ye Yuyan body. As Ye Yuyan raised his arms into a cross guard, the sly hand grabbed him and tried to rip off his arm.

A few meters away from Ye Yuyan to the right, Liu Kang stood with his palm extended out controlling the all-seeing hand. He sneered as he released bloodline force to wrap around Ye Yuyan's arms and decompose the cellular matrix.

"Scram!" Ye Yuyan roared as he undid his cross-guard by slamming his arms to his side.

BOOM!

Radiant Qi exploded from his Ye Yuyan's throwing off the all-seeing hand. Liu Kang's palm shook and trembled as radiant Qi engulfed his all-seeing hand.

"What!?!" Liu Kang exclaimed as he retracted his all-seeing hand.

Ming Shan retreated three steps back as the radiant Qi threatened to engulf him. Within the radiant glow, a figure instantly flashed and dashed through the lights towards Liu Kang.

Liu Kang's eyes narrowed in shock as he raised both his palms and manifested two all-seeing hands. The hands came together hand in hand and formed a barrier of bloodline force. Life energy writhed as suddenly a blue light flashed in front of the barrier.

Ye Yuyan's eyes crackled and popped with lightning and frost, as he raised his radiant fist and punched out!

Boom!

The air compressed causing sonic booms as his fist tore through the bloodline barrier. The intense radiance released a blinding light when suddenly Ye Yuyan's kicked off the ground and jumped away from Liu Kang.

"Kill!" Qin Shui roared as he drove the formation into action. Suddenly a barrage of immortal Qi lights shot towards Ye Yuyan's fleeting form. He zigzagged through the air as hundreds of beams of light hurtled past him into the portal of the void.

As Ye Yuyan shot through the skies dodging the formation light, the will of Venerable Phoenix coldly stared on within the wall of flames.

"Delight in fervor!" Venerable Phoenix bellowed sadistically as his golden gaze turned pink once again. Ye Yuyan shot through the air, spinning with the clouds when suddenly the flames of desire flared up in his body.

"Ahhh!" He stopped and writhed in ecstasy as his frosty blue eyes turned pink. The moment he stopped, the formation light bore down on him. The sky filled with hundreds of beams of light, sending a torrent of Qi to engulf Ye Yuyan.

Ye Yuyan took a few steps back and felt burning vermillion flames behind him, he looked forward only to see an endless world of formation light but that wasn't his concern.

He disregarded everything except the beautiful young woman in the black evening gown. A white lotus spun behind her triggering further desire inside of Ye Yuyan. As the white lotus spun, Ye Yuyan's eyes increasingly glazed over with pink...

**************************

In the courtyard of a Ye Clan Pavillion,

There was a young man sitting at the steps of the courtyard, he long black hair that cascaded down his shoulders and gentle blue eyes with a floral pattern over his pupils. He sat quietly at the steps of the courtyard with a calligraphy pen in hand calmly taking in his surroundings.

He was a solitary man who concerned only with himself and his attunement with the dao. When suddenly he felt a strange presence and his eyes suddenly flashed open.

He saw a beautiful woman dressed in a frilly white dress that matched her luscious white hair slowly cross the garden of the Pavillion. Her serene blue gaze took in the sights as she brought life to the plants with each step.

Noticing his gaze, she turned to look at him and it was at that moment they both saw, the red string of fate tying them together. In their calm blue eyes in pursuit of enlightenment they found their other half...

*****************************

Even as the immortal light flooded Ye Yuyan's body and his gaze filled with pink, Ye Yuyan kept his eyes planted on Song Yue. The image of the beautiful woman in the frilly dress overlapped with her form blending the past and present.

"No..." He whispered to himself softly as the pink engulfed his sclera.

"I REFUSE!" He growled as the pink entered his pupil and reached deeper into him!

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" He roared to the heavens releasing a surge of Qi! The first and second lotus leaves overlapped pushing cultivation to the second resolution.

A golden sword intent wrapped around Ye Yuyan, as a red river raged from his body. The raging river sent back the surging immortal Qi and obliterated the desirous flames. Ye Yuyan's entire left eye filled with darkness engulfing even the pupil.

"He...vanquished a heavenly flame..." Mercer's body froze as he stared wide-eyed at Ye Yuyan.

"Calm yourself, this would never be easy..." Song Yue commanded through gritted teeth "Proceed with the Bloodline End Formation!"
