Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 122

Without any warning, these people directly made a move against Ye Wushuang.

In their eyes, Ye Wushuang was like a criminal who needed no justification to be apprehended. Their sudden attack caught Ye Wushuang completely off guard.

“What are you doing? Are you attacking me?”

“Isn’t it obvious? We’re here to capture you!”

With that, they moved even faster. Their arms stretched out unnaturally, their palms extending to envelop Ye Wushuang as if to seize him completely.

Witnessing this, Grand Preceptor Liu Ning instantly grew anxious. Ye Wushuang was the genius he valued, the future of the Divine Dragon Royal Family—how could he allow others to harm him? The next moment, he was ready to intervene and suppress these attackers.

However, before he could act, Ye Wushuang struck first.

Although he had only recently begun imprinting Dao techniques and couldn’t fully harness their power, his physical strength far surpassed what was typical for his cultivation level. Without any flashy moves, he simply threw a punch.

A single, mighty fist surged forward, carrying a powerful gust of wind. It collided directly with the giant hands reaching for him.

Boom!

With just one punch, Ye Wushuang shattered the giant hands extended by these royal disciples. Not only that, his fist struck their actual hands with devastating force.

They instantly felt an overwhelming impact. Their hands recoiled instantly, and they clutched them in pain, their faces filled with disbelief.

“How is this possible? How can his strength be so immense?”

“He… he’s only at the Nurturing Dao Realm! How does he possess such combat power? There must be some mistake!”

“Damn it, he’s like a freak! He can cross several realms and still counter our attacks!”

It was worth noting that among them were not only King Realm experts but even Venerable Realm masters. A Venerable Realm expert was a full three realms above the Nurturing Dao Realm. Under such a vast gap, Ye Wushuang managing to injure so many of them was nothing short of astonishing.

Yet, their shock was only the beginning.

After repelling their attack, Ye Wushuang didn’t stop. He continued his assault, charging at these royal family members like a primordial beast. His outstretched hands resembled giant fans, swatting toward them.

The scene was terrifying, especially when coupled with the memory of his overwhelming strength. Fear gripped them.

Someone urgently shouted, “Use Dao techniques! Hurry, use Dao techniques! His physical strength is too great—blast him with Dao magic!”

“Right! We must use Dao techniques! We can’t let him get close! Avoid direct confrontation!”

They had already witnessed Ye Wushuang’s immense power and were unwilling to engage him in physical combat again. If they did, they would only suffer. So, they had to rely on their realm advantage to suppress Ye Wushuang’s combat prowess.

Admittedly, their strategy was sound. If it were any other Nurturing Dao Realm cultivator, they would be helpless against such realm suppression.

But Ye Wushuang was different.

Although there was a realm gap between them, the Dao techniques they unleashed barely affected him. His physical body was too robust, further enhanced by a previous rebirth. Thus, their Dao techniques felt like mere tickles against him.

Even when the Venerable Realm expert among them attacked, Ye Wushuang tanked the Dao techniques, strode forward, and directly seized that expert by the neck.

Coldly, he demanded, “Talk. Who sent you?”

“N-no one sent us! We… we were just outraged! Someone not even in the Venerable Realm accessing so many resources! That’s why we came!”

“Outraged? So now, do you think I deserve these resources?”

“With your talent, you certainly deserve them! But the resources of the Divine Dragon Royal Family must be exchanged with merits! On that point, you… your merits are insufficient!”

As members of the royal family, they still spoke with a hint of defiance, though their tone had softened considerably compared to before.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang was exasperated.

“Whether my merits are enough, you shouldn’t ask me—you should ask Her Majesty! These resources were allocated to me by Her Majesty herself, all with her approval!”

Ye Wushuang did have his own merits. The supreme Dao techniques he had created alone were enough to earn him limitless merit. However, this was known only to a select few. To others, it seemed as though he had no merits at all.

The royal family members who had come to cause trouble paled at his words. If their attitude toward the Grand Preceptor was one of respect, their feelings toward the Divine Dragon Empress were ones of boundless awe and fear.

Recently, the Divine Dragon Empress had performed too many miracles. It was precisely because of her that the Divine Dragon Empire had grown to such formidable strength. Thus, Ye Wushuang’s simple statement—that the resources were approved by the Empress—left them speechless.

They didn’t know why the Empress had granted Ye Wushuang so many resources, but if she willed it, there must be a reason. Ye Wushuang using these resources was undoubtedly justified.

Their defiance crumbled instantly.

“Th-this… we didn’t know! If we had known, we wouldn’t have dared to come!”

“Hmph! And you call yourselves members of the Imperial Guard? Acting so impulsively, without using your brains—you’ve brought shame upon yourselves!”

“In my capacity as deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, I sentence you to a full year of continuous duty shifts—without a single day for cultivation! Otherwise, you will be expelled from the Imperial Guard! Do you have any objections?”

“We have no objections!”

They were outmatched by Ye Wushuang in strength, and his resource allocation was justified. How could they dare to resist? They could only accept their punishment meekly.

One by one, they left dejectedly.

As soon as they were gone, Grand Preceptor Liu Ning emerged.
