Eternal Saber-Chapter 184 - 48: Together Through Life and Death

Too fast!

The six Cyan Dragon Guards only saw a burst of blade light, unable even to see the blade in Chen Tang’s hand.

Puff!

Before the tip of the Cyan Dragon Sword could pierce his body, Chen Tang’s blade had already slashed through the throats of the six Cyan Dragon Guards!

They brushed past each other.

Six words, six Cyan Dragon Guard corpses!

"Hmm?"

The faces of several Fifth Grade experts attacking Lu Qing changed.

In their eyes, Chen Tang clearly hadn’t even cultivated Inner Qi; the six Cyan Dragon Guards with armor should have been enough to kill him.

How could they all die with just one encounter?

In a flash of thought, Chen Tang had already charged into the crowd.

"With a brief talk, life and death are shared!"

Accompanied by Chen Tang’s roar, he charged towards several Fifth Grade experts with a single blade.

"Courting death!"

The several Fifth Grade experts shouted, each brandishing their swords, sword Qi and blade Qi intersecting fiercely.

Before the blades and swords even reached, Chen Tang’s clothing was already torn by the sword Qi and blade edges!

"Haitang, be careful!"

Lu Qing exclaimed in shock.

At this moment, Changsun Ming and Yuan Qingmo suddenly became tense!

Facing Fifth Grade Inner Core experts with cultivated Inner Qi head-on, Chen Tang was definitely not a match.

Not to mention, it was one against many!

What Chen Tang was doing was like a moth to a flame, a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

One Breath Divine Illumination!

Vast Ambition!

In the Divine Illumination State, Chen Tang unleashed the move Vast Ambition, completely disregarding his own life and death, perfectly aligning with the Divine Charm and True Intent of the Martial Emperor’s Blade Technique!

The three blades the Emperor Wu taught Chen Tang were all honed and summarized from battlefields.

On the battlefield, things change in an instant, enemies are everywhere.

In a clash between two armies, a single charge could lead to countless soldiers dying on the spot.

Only by casting aside the consideration of life and death could one have a chance to grasp a sliver of survival!

The Vast Ambition blade technique was inherently fierce and relentless.

Now, in this critical moment, Chen Tang instantly elevated Vast Ambition to a ’Divine’ realm level, greatly increasing its power!

Combined with One Breath Divine Illumination, it erupted with an incomparably intense, domineering aura across the world!

The minds of the several Fifth Grade experts were temporarily captivated, and there was a slight hesitation in their Sword Technique and Blade Technique.

They were all Martial Artists of the Fifth Grade Inner Core Realm, with no need to risk their lives against him.

As long as they avoided his sharpness and waited for others to join the attack, they could still kill him here.

But this hesitation meant instant life and death!

On the battlefield, there’s no room for even the slightest hesitation.

Moreover, under the One Breath Divine Illumination, Chen Tang’s blade technique was incredibly fast.

The blade light flickered!

Puff, puff, puff!

All the Fifth Grade experts were struck by blades and sent flying!

Of course, some were saved by the Copper Armor on their body, retaining at least half their life.

Others had their throats slashed by Chen Tang’s blade.

Of course, under the siege of the Fifth Grade experts, it was also difficult for Chen Tang to retreat unscathed.

After all, the difference in realm between the two sides was too great.

His left arm, left shoulder, and several places on his body sported wounds and bloodstains, dying his robe in blood.

Fortunately, in the Divine Illumination State, Chen Tang narrowly avoided critical hits.

Even so, this scene caused a sensation!

Numerous Fifth Grade experts were either killed or injured by a single blade from a Lower Grade Martial Artist!

Chen Tang, covered in blood and holding his blade proudly, instantly became the focus on the battlefield.

"Good lad!"

Kou Zhenshan had just sent a White Tiger Guard flying with a strike. Catching this scene out of the corner of his eye, he couldn’t help but praise.

He had originally had some doubts about Chen Tang.

But seeing Chen Tang, disregarding his life to stand in front of Lu Qing, filled with heroic spirit, he couldn’t help but feel admiration.

Madam Lu had planned to turn back and save Lu Qing, but upon witnessing this scene, her eyes suddenly lit up with a different brilliance.

"Are you okay?"

Lu Qing came to Chen Tang, full of worry.

"It’s nothing!"

Chen Tang took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Go, fight our way out!"

The two charged towards the Bingzhou army encircling them.

Buzz, buzz!

With the threat of the Mystic Master’s Flying Sword gone, the sword light burst forth as Lu Qing charged into the Bingzhou army alone with her sword.

Chen Tang endured the pain from his wounds, his eyes bright with determination, and he too charged into the crowd with his blade, shouting loudly, "A promise is worth its weight in gold!"

The sword light flickered incessantly.

Chen Tang kept swinging his blade until a faint pain started nagging between his brows and only then did he stop as the One Breath Divine Illumination’s time ran out.

The Bingzhou soldiers blocking their way had all fallen.

What was initially an impenetrable formation was forcefully breached by Chen Tang and Lu Qing’s blade and sword.

Behind them, the ground was littered with bodies, and rivers of blood flowed!

Boom!

With the lowest cultivation among them, Lu Qianshan was the first to be caught by Yuwen Dong, who directly sealed his pressure points and threw him to the ground, saying in a heavy voice, "Bind him up for me!"

Yuwen Dong turned to look in the direction where Chen Tang and Lu Qing had escaped, frowning slightly, and dispatched a few of his men, saying sternly, "You go over and help, don’t let that little girl get away!"

"What about that boy?"

A subordinate asked.

"An inconsequential person, just kill him."

Yuwen Dong waved his hand.

A dozen Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade experts by Yuwen Dong’s side rushed towards the direction of Chen Tang and Lu Qing.

By splitting into four groups, they had indeed succeeded.

Only Lu Qianshan was captured.

Meanwhile, Madam Lu, Kou Zhenshan, Chen Tang, and Lu Qing had all broken through the encirclement and fled into the distance.

The pursuers followed closely behind.

In the recent battle, not only Chen Tang and Lu Qing but even Madam Lu and Kou Zhenshan were injured.

Whether they could escape with their lives remained uncertain.

"The youthful chivalrous spirit, forming bonds with heroes from five cities, with courage deep, hair bristling, in a brief conversation, life and death shared, a promise as heavy as gold..."

Murong Haitang glanced at Changsun Ming beside her, then at the figure on the battlefield, feeling a tinge of envy, softly whispering, "Is this the bond between you?"

"Good!"

Changsun Ming’s expression was agitated, cheering for Chen Tang.

Yuan Qingmo silently watched the scene, his eyes gradually reddening.

Only he and Changsun Ming knew that what Chen Tang said was meant for them.

Life and death shared, a promise as heavy as gold.

Chen Tang knew they couldn’t intervene, so he made such a promise to them.

He wanted to reassure them that he would live and die with Lu Qing!

Murong Haitang watched as that figure gradually disappeared on the battlefield, her eyes gradually dazed, a sense of bewilderment rising in her heart.

Initially, when she heard someone had borrowed her name and done many bad things in Bingzhou, she was quite furious.

But now, watching that figure who would do anything for his friends, even sacrifice his life, not hesitating to become enemies with the Yuwen Family, Profound Celestial Temple, and the entire Court, she couldn’t muster any anger.

This person seemed not to tarnish the name of Murong Haitang.

On the contrary, from now on, perhaps Murong Haitang would become renowned throughout the world because of him!

She had practiced martial arts at home from a young age, associating with the young masters of noble families, and had seen many prodigies, whether elegant, humorous, steady, or upright...

In her heart, these young masters of noble families couldn’t compare to her senior brother.

But she had never seen anyone like Chen Tang.

Rough and bold, full of wild spirit, unafraid of life and death.

Who on earth was he?

Chen Tang and Lu Qing broke through the encirclement, running wildly towards outside.

In fact, Chen Tang hesitated whether to take action.

But considering Lu Qing’s identity as the granddaughter of Emperor Wu, he no longer hesitated.

If today he escaped alone,

what face would he have to visit Emperor Wu on the Snow Mountain in the future?

Moreover, in this rescue, there was a chance to escape with their lives.

As long as they could break through the encirclement and the Thunder Leopard came to their aid, with the Thunder Leopard’s speed, the two of them had a chance to escape!

The Thunder Leopard had just returned after sending off the Jade Flute Fairy.

However, the Thunder Leopard’s peculiar appearance made rescuing the Jade Flute Fairy in broad daylight likely to draw the pursuit of soldiers from Bingzhou City.

So Chen Tang drove it into the depths of the mountains outside Mist Rain Village to let it wander on its own.

The Thunder Leopard was wild and untamable, unafraid of tigers and leopards, and had thrived among the Three Thousand Snow Ridges, so it was unlikely to face danger in the surrounding mountains and forests.

Chen Tang carved a bloody path and took Lu Qing towards that deep mountain, whistling as he went, to call the Thunder Leopard.

However, there was still some distance between Mist Rain Village and those deep mountains and forests.

How far could a whistle carry? The Thunder Leopard couldn’t hear it at all.

The pursuers were drawing nearer and nearer behind them!

Chen Tang was wounded and couldn’t run fast.

Lu Qing wouldn’t abandon him to escape on her own either.

Yet their pursuers included not only Fifth Grade but even Fourth Grade experts, riding swiftly.

The sound of hooves grew closer and closer!

They couldn’t outrun them at all.
