The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO-Chapter 998 - 978: The Great Emperor Is Right Beside Me, Might of a Half-step Divine King!

Not just Shen Taoyuan.

"How is this possible!!!!"

Kaman and the rich merchants, upon seeing Ye Huan's true face, looked as if they had seen a ghost. Their eyes were bulging out of their sockets, their faces filled with shock and disbelief!

"..."

The top deck of the Diamond Queen was silent.

At this moment, even if a pin dropped, or a drop of water fell to the ground, it could be heard clearly!

Everyone finally understood why they felt familiar with "Ye Hu'an's" nose and mouth when they looked at him before.

Because this cruise ship, meant to host the Great Emperor's banquet, was adorned with Ye Huan's posters from deck to cabin!

With their hearts full of profound respect for Emperor Ye Huan, they would bow in front of the poster every day to show their reverence!

You could say that during their boredom these days, besides burning incense and praying to the heavens to let them see Emperor Ye Huan at the banquet, the most frequent thing they did was "worship" Ye Huan's poster, admiring the stature of the Great Emperor!

These days, even if they didn't remember Ye Huan's appearance perfectly, they wouldn't forget what he looked like even in death!

The reason they felt familiar with "Ye Hu'an's" nose and mouth was because they were actually Emperor Ye Huan's nose and mouth!

"Ye Hu'an" was not "Ye Hu'an", but rather Emperor Ye Huan!!!

The rich merchants' faces transformed from shock to intense horror!

They never imagined that the young man full of potential, worth nurturing, who had been on the same ship with them for fifteen days, was actually Emperor Ye Huan, the person they dreamed of pleasing and seeing in person!

"Assistant Shen." Ye Huan, with hands in pockets, walked up to Shen Taoyuan, bent over, looked at her frightened face, and sneered playfully: "Didn't I tell you I wasn't lying before; doesn't my true face scare you?"

Hearing this question, Shen Taoyuan felt a bone-chilling cold rush from her feet straight to her crown, her eyes and face filled with intense fear, her delicate body trembling violently. Even as she lay on the ground, her legs still shook from terror.

She finally understood why Ye Hu'an said seeing his true face could scare her to death.

Because Ye Hu'an was not Ye Hu'an, but the globally renowned, future leader of the West's mightiest family—the Rothschilds, and the East's two strongest families—the Ye and Li families, World Emperor, Ye Huan!!

Realizing she'd been deceiving under the guise of the Emperor's assistant right under Ye Huan's nose for the past fifteen days, and had been opposing him, Shen Taoyuan was nearly scared to death, almost fainting on the spot!

"I initially wanted to get along with you as Ye Hu'an, thinking it would make things more harmonious, but I really had no choice. Why do you insist on causing trouble, making me feel helpless?"

Ye Huan coldly sneered, using the silver dagger in his hand to pat Shen Taoyuan's face twice, producing two crisp "pah" sounds.

Shen Taoyuan's whole body shivered, unable to hold back, she buried her head in her knees and cried, her sobs full of fear, evidently frightened out of her wits!

Ye Huan's face remained emotionless, thinking this woman brought it upon herself!

"Swoosh!"

At that moment.

A sudden gust of wind swept by!

Ye Huan turned his head, rolled away, avoiding a punch from Sid who had gathered all his strength, his eyes then erupting with a chilling murderous intent!

Now that his identity was exposed, there was no need to hide his strength?

Ye Huan clenched his right fist, his gaze suddenly cold, as a tremendous aura surged skyward!

For a moment, the wind and clouds changed colors, with thunder rumbling from the dark sky!

This aura was equally if not more formidable than Sid's!

Sid's face changed dramatically, shouting in shock: "A twenty-six-year-old Half-step Divine King? How is this possible!!"

Ye Huan wouldn't waste words with Sid here, he gathered strength into the dagger in his right hand and thrust it violently!

The dagger directly penetrated Sid's right shoulder, bringing out a streak of blood!

Sid quickly regained his senses, suppressed his panic, and swung a punch. As Ye Huan dodged, Sid pulled out the dagger from his left shoulder, brushed his fingers over its sharpest part, enhancing it with Half-step Divine King might, and stabbed toward Ye Huan!

Ye Huan seized the moment, caught the white blade bare-handed with his right hand, while his left forefinger and middle finger joined, directly aiming for Sid's forehead!

The speed and suddenness of the attack left Sid, who had opened the Seven Gates, no time to react!

Even though Sid's strength neared Divine King levels, he had reached it through trickery, with martial foundation and observational skills far inferior to Ye Huan!

Ye Huan attacked with full strength from the start!

These two fingers struck Sid right in the forehead!

Sid instantly felt a jarring within his skull, bleeding profusely.

Simultaneously, he noticed a burning sensation from within him, causing panic.

Sid realized the Eight Gates Escape Armor was wearing off! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

With seven gates opened, once its effect truly ended, he would lose all strength in a short time, the consequences unimaginable!

Fight to the end?

Honestly, from the first sight of Ye Huan, Sid already felt intimidated, his fighting spirit vanished!

Three years ago in that battle, Ye Huan's single strike sent him to the ICU, almost losing his life!

Now seeing Ye Huan again, fear naturally welled up inside Sid!

The recent attack was just mustering courage, testing if a sneak attack could work!

Who knew Ye Huan already possessed Half-step Divine King strength, scaring Sid witless!

In his heart, he harbored no further thought of killing Ye Huan, only wanting to escape!

Just wanted to escape Ye Huan's grasp before the Eight Gates Escape Armor ended!

Otherwise, he knew death awaited him!

Sid roared, feigned an attack at Ye Huan, then leaped, running towards the lower deck!

Ye Huan swung his right hand, the dagger slicing through the air with a cold gleam, piercing Sid's thigh!

Sid screamed, but did not stop, fleeing with terror written all over his face!

"Gave you a chance three years ago, let you go once, and now you still want to run?" Ye Huan released a cold laugh full of murderous intent, his figure swiftly shot out, leaving sonic booms in the air as he moved too fast for the naked eye to follow!

In the blink of an eye, he was behind Sid!

Ye Huan pulled out the silver dagger from Sid's thigh, and in a swift motion stabbed toward his spine!

Sid howled in agony, instantly collapsing on the ground!

Ye Huan did not pause his attack, stomping fiercely on Sid's back!

"Crack!"

Sid let out a blood-curdling scream, his spine snapping in two!

Ye Huan kept his foot on Sid's back, grabbing Sid's left arm, and lifted his upper body fiercely!

In that moment, the sharp severed spine pierced through Sid's heart and lungs!

Normally, even a god would die instantly from such a wound!

Yet Sid was still screaming, his heart and lungs ruptured, but still alive!

Ye Huan realized it was the effect of the Orange Tier B-max!
