My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

A day later, Lou Mu Yan looked down at her natal array compass in her hand and found that Ming Xiu was getting closer and closer to her position, and an arc overflowed from her lips.

In front was a large lake, and at this time, there was only the rustling of the wind blowing the leaves, extremely quiet.

A wooden boat floated on the lake, and on the boat stood a man in a black uniform with a giant sword on his back.

The man carried a sternness and coldness, as if an unsheathed sword, which concealed a peerless edge, and there was also an unrestrained wildness. His dark eyes were icy cold and the temperament of a superior was subconsciously emanating from him.

He was like an eagle that had been lurking in the dark night for a long time, with a majestic momentum.

Lou Mu Yan stood by the lake and watched the wooden boat drift closer, with rare solemnity and danger in her eyes. Her red lips opened lightly: “Chu Han.”

“He’s from the Devil Race.” Jun Luo Chen’s voice echoed in Lou Mu Yan’s Sea of Consciousness, “Last time during the Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony, he hadn’t activated his bloodline physique yet to reveal his Devil Race skills, but now his entire body is exuding devil’s aura. It seems he’s here to kill you today.

“No, I feel that there’s a very strong aura hidden in him. He might be one of the three Sword Deities.” Jun Luo Chen added.

The wooden boat stopped about two metres away from Lou Mu Yan. Chu Han looked at Lou Mu Yan and said coldly: “I’m the number one killer of the Hidden City. Lou Mu Yan, we meet again.”

“Chu Han, you sure hid deeply!” Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes and revealed a smile, “If you used your devil skills during the Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony, maybe you might have been able to win me.”

“Last time, I hadn’t activated the bloodline of the devils yet, so I didn’t lose wrongly. You won as a matter of course.” Chu Han’s voice was a bit cold, “But winning you today is the same for me.”

“Your mission isn’t just to win me right.” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow.

“One of my missions is to take you and Chi Xiu’s lives.” There was a trace of regret in Chu Han’s eyes, “I did admire you during the Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony, but it’s a pity that you’re too dazzling. The Hidden City can’t keep you.”

If it weren’t for the mission of killing Lou Mu Yan he took before coming to the Land of Inheritance, he actually didn’t want to attack her.

But now that she was his mission, then her head must be taken off today.

Since his debut as a killer, he had never failed.

“Is that so?” Lou Mu Yan chuckled, her voice cold, “Are you fighting me with the cultivation of a Sword Venerable, or is the soul of that Sword Deity hidden in your body going to fight?”

A trace of coldness flashed across Chu Han’s sharp eyes, “Lou Mu Yan, being too smart won’t help you live long.”

“I sure would like to experience the strength of that Sword Deity in your body.” Lou Mu Yan shrugged and said: “As for whether I’ll live long, it’s not up to you to decide.”

“You should win the sword in my hand first.” Chu Han didn’t use the silver longsword, but instead pulled out the giant sword of Deep-Sea Profound Ice Iron on his back, “Today, you only have the one path to death you can take.”

Seeing the intricate patterns on Chu Han’s double-edged sword, Lou Mu Yan said: “Your double-edged sword indeed hides a mystery. The last time you revealed arrays and restrictions on it enhanced by a Grade 4 Array Master, but now, not only has it been enhanced with grade 6 arrays and restrictions, you even re-refined it with Heavy Water.

“Let’s fight.”

Chu Han held the double-edged sword in both hands and the elemental energy of a Peak-Phase Sword Venerable rushed out. The sword body emitted a fierce cold light, and ice spanning as far as three hundred meters slowly rose from the middle of the lake layer by layer, pressing straight towards Lou Mu Yan.

With a thought, Lou Mu Yan’s golden longsword scattered into twenty small flying swords, forming an arch-shaped flying disc which headed towards the hundreds of metres of ice.

Immediately, another silver sword appeared in her hand, engraved with blurry but intricate patterns. Only when the seven layers of seals on the sword were unlocked would the pattern clear.

She didn’t hesitate at all. The sword shook, and the pattern of a phoenix with its wings spread was gradually revealed on the silver longsword. The seven-layer seal was released.

As soon as she raised her hand, it was as if the silver longsword had come to life, letting out a cheerful humming, like a flying dragon soaring out to sea. With just one slash, the water in the surrounding lake instantly grew turbulent.

[PUCHI!]

Then from the bottom of the lake, layers of huge waves rose, and the wooden boat was completely submerged by them. The water contained a strong killing intent of water attribute elemental energy.

The hundreds of metres of ice were crushed by the golden lights. Chu Han rushed out of the lake and stood in mid-air.

Right now, he was surrounded by a layer of black mist and his entire body began to change.

Two horns grew on his head, black scales all over his body, his hands and feet also became extremely sharp claws, and a pair of dark wings expanded on his back.

A sharp light flashed across Lou Mu Yan’s eyes. So it turned out that Chu Han could also devilise1 just like Shen Mu Feng—his Devil Race bloodline should be very pure.

Although the Devil Race was derived from Devil Cultivators and Ghost Cultivators cultivating in a place with dense yin’sha2, but after tens of thousands of years of reproduction and mutation, they had long drifted away from normal human Sword Masters and became a new form—and that was devilisation3.

“Lou Mu Yan, I didn’t expect that you not only comprehended the metal and water dual attributes to Great Achievement Realm, but you also used the obsidian fluorite to refine the Natal Magic Tool of the water attribute, forcing me to devilise. That’s an achievement itself.” Chi Han’s voice was hoarse with scarlet eyes.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled lightly: “If you have any tricks, just use them all.”

As soon as her voice fell, the space suddenly fluctuated and a Nine Nether Killing Array appeared.

Nine Divine Beasts condensed from purple-gold flames appeared in nine directions at the same time, among which the Qi’lin Divine Beast exuded the strongest aura.

“This is the array I used to kill Shen Mu Feng last time. I’ll let you try it too.” Lou Mu Yan had secretly arranged this array when she was talking to Chu Han earlier. Chu Han was more difficult to deal with than Shen Mu Feng.

Chu Han’s expression didn’t change in the slightest and a cruel smile formed on his lips, “Do you really think you can kill me by setting up a grade 6 killing array? Such an array might be useful against a Sword Saint, but it’s useless against me.

After speaking, the wings behind him spread out and an afterimage passed by. Sharp claws appeared right behind Lou Mu Yan.

It was just that although his speed was fast, but Lou Mu Yan wasn’t slow either, and an afterimage was torn to shreds in an instant.

At this moment, the nine Divine Beasts roared and surrounded Chu Han, rushing towards him with dense flames, wanting to bite him.

There was a trace of ridicule in Chu Han’s eyes, and a cluster of black flames emerged from the centre of his brows, instantly turning into nine flames to block the nine Divine Beasts.

Black patterns wound around the Deep-Sea Profound Ice Iron double-edged sword layer by layer, instantly spreading over the entire sword body, then the complex patterns on it danced as if alive.

The sword aura of water in the lake swept the huge waves again and again towards him.

He slashed hard and the huge waves suddenly condensed into large layers of ice.

Chu Han felt the aura fluctuate in the space behind him, turned and stretched out his claws, grabbing violently, only to meet a pair of black eyes as boundless as a vast starry sky.

Two storms condensed from mental energy stabbed into his eyes in an instant and his mind suddenly felt as if it were being pierced by a thousand needles.

“AH!!” He threw away the double-edged sword in his hand and held his head in both hands, a look of ferociousness on his face.

Without any hesitation, Lou Mu Yan immediately swung down her two longswords, one gold, one silver, slashing towards Chu Han’s neck.

But just when the sword lights of the one gold and one silver were about to fall, the aura on Chu Han’s body instantly grew much stronger. Two sharp claws grabbed and the two fierce sword auras instantly dissipated.

1don’t think devilise is a word… but you know what I mean.

2changed dark evil to its original pin’yin ‘yin’sha’ (阴煞—these two characters separately both have meanings of dark, evil, shady, sinister, malignant etc. So you could imagine what it means when they’re paired together). You can think of as a type of energy. Dark and evil just didn’t sound as good.

3devilisation isn’t a word I don’t think, made it up as well hahahaha
