Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Killing Qi Shu Amidst Ten Thousand Soldiers (10,000-Word Update, Please Subscribe)

Outside Beili City, the sunlight was dazzling and splendid.

A figure hurried towards the distance, covering a few dozen feet towards the front in just the blink of an eye, displaying astonishing leg strength.

This person was none other than Qi Shu, who had snatched the True Dragon Treasure Blood from Luo Chongyang.

At this moment, his heart was filled with joy, but he knew he needed to find a place to quickly absorb the True Dragon Treasure Blood—this was the most crucial matter.

By absorbing the True Dragon Treasure Blood, not only would his Root Bone be enhanced but even his Cultivation could be elevated to the Three Qi Realm.

“That Taoist might catch up at any time, better head north first.”

...

After contemplating for a moment, Qi Shu followed the direction of the Beihuang Dao and headed north.

After all, because of the Princess An Le incident, he was like a rat crossing the street in the Great Yan Martial World, and carrying such a rare treasure as the True Dragon Treasure Blood, he was likely to attract numerous calamities.

His speed was extremely fast, especially when he was running at full strength, even resorting to the Shrinking Land into Inches technique, covering three hundred miles in about an hour.

Suddenly, Qi Shu felt a chill run down his spine, and the hairs on his arms stood on end; he subconsciously dodged to one side.

“Whoosh!”

Almost in the next moment, a piercing cold light attacked from behind, narrowly penetrating Qi Shu’s heart.

“Thud!”

The cold light shot straight towards a large rock ahead, and with a massive sound, the two-zhang-high rock crumbled and turned into powder.

“Humming! Humming!”

As the dust settled, an ancient sword was embedded in the ground, emitting a clear, vibrating sound.

The Evil Suppressing Sword!

Qi Shu’s pupils contracted sharply, as he naturally recognized the sword of the Great Zhou Human Emperor.

At that moment, standing atop a tree branch behind him was a man in a black robe.

An Jing spoke indifferently, “The renowned Qi Ziyi, where might you be headed?”

Qi Shu, also known as Qi Ziyi.

The Black Ice Platform had a high status in Zhao Country and maintained a strict hierarchy, so the members of the Black Ice Platform had particular dress codes and accessories for daily wear.

Once, during a meeting convened by Qi Wushuang at the Cloud Tower to make decisions, Qi Shu attended the meeting wearing a purple robe, despite his status and position that only allowed him to wear black robes.

Qi Wushuang was meticulous about the rules of the Black Ice Platform and never allowed anyone to break them, while also holding himself to the same rigorous standards.

However, on this occasion, Qi Wushuang unusually did not reprimand Qi Shu, and even commented that the purple robe looked rather good on him, leaving many in the room dumbfounded and shaken.

This incident revealed the status Qi Shu held in Qi Wushuang’s eyes.

After this story spread, the people of Zhao Country began to call Qi Shu “Qi Ziyi.”

“The Ghost Swordsman!?”

As Qi Shu turned his head, the murderous intent in his eyes became extremely dense, “I spared you just now, and yet you seek your own death?”

Being chased by the Ghost Swordsman for more than three hundred miles after the battle at the dilapidated temple was an embarrassment Qi Shu remembered to this day; he had long wanted to kill the Ghost Swordsman to wash away this shame, and would have done so already if not for fear of damaging the valuable treasure—they almost clashed then.

But Qi Shu had not expected that not only did he fail to kill the Ghost Swordsman, but the Ghost Swordsman had now come to him, seeking death.

“Whoosh!”

An Jing stretched out his hand, and the Evil Suppressing Sword turned into a streak of light, returning to his palm, “Do you think you can win?”

Hearing this, Qi Shu burst into laughter, “Where does your confidence come from? Last time I was gravely injured, and I couldn’t even muster a tenth of my strength. Do you think you could have sparred with me otherwise?”

“Even if you’ve reached the Grandmaster Realm, do you really think you can defeat me?”

Every level of the Five Qi Realm was like a mountain.

Each Realm may seem like a small step, but the change in strength is qualitative.

When Luo Xiangzhen was in the Second Qi Realm, he killed the master of the One Qi Realm, Bai Qun, with just two strikes, and Qi Shu in the Second Qi Realm also defeated the Universal Benefit Bodhisattva with a single punch; these were the best proofs.

So even if the Ghost Swordsman had entered the Grandmaster Realm, Qi Shu was not the slightest bit panicked.

The only thing that unsettled him was the Taoist and the Black Flood Dragon.

An Jing caressed the Evil Suppressing Sword in his palm, saying, “Then you may try.”

“Let’s try then.”

Qi Shu’s eyes narrowed into a slit as if a cold light was striking out from within.

He had to take the head of the Ghost Swordsman before the Taoist and the Black Flood Dragon could catch up.

Qi Shu leaped up, the True Qi around him instantly drawn out, and an overwhelming aura like a vast river surged ferociously towards An Jing.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The fearsome pressure assaulted like a surging tide.

An Jing gripped the Evil Suppressing Sword, his eyes flashing coldly like a blade.

True Qi surged violently within him, rushing to confront Qi Shu.

Boom!

If Qi Shu’s momentum was like an endless, vast flood, then An Jing’s was like a mountain river falling from the sky.

Their energies fiercely collided in the air, instantly echoing with a thunderous roar.

“The strength of this Ghost Swordsman…”

Feeling the onslaught of that energy, Qi Shu’s expression grew solemn.

In the next instant, his body transformed into a blur of afterimages, bursting forth with explosive speed.

Whoosh!

Qi Shu’s movements were as fast as thunder. In a flash, multiple afterimages appeared, his figure turning into a streak of light that bore down on An Jing.

“What incredible speed.”

An Jing watched with a sharp gaze as the rapidly enlarging figure in his pupils showed that Qi Shu had revealed the mastery of a Second Qi Grandmaster.

An Jing’s feet moved sideways, his body also tilting into an arc.

Bang bang bang!

As An Jing tilted, the air in front of him suddenly exploded. Qi Shu’s fingers, sharp as ultimate blades, pierced through the air, grey light flashing as they thrust violently toward An Jing’s throat.

Soul Chasing Hand!

The extremely well-known martial art from the Black Ice Platform, the Soul Chasing Hand!

When Qi Shu attacked, his offensive moves were filled with ruthlessness and cunning.

The grey light on his fingers, sharp and piercing, magnified rapidly in An Jing’s pupils, but just as the grey light was about to stab An Jing’s throat, a blinding golden light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Clang!

At the moment of contact, the sound of metal clashing rang out, sparks flew, and a visible ripple of Force Qi spread outward from the center of the two combatants.

Seeing the sword that blocked his strike, Qi Shu’s fingers on the blade flickered with a grey glow.

An Jing noticed this and his pupils constricted slightly, a sense of unease surging in his heart as he quickly retreated.

Pfft!

Just as An Jing made his rapid retreat, Qi Shu’s fingers fiercely transformed into a fist. His speed was lightning-fast as he hammered towards An Jing’s chest.

Thump thump!

Qi Shu was exceedingly fast, and his punch carried a vast force, feeling as if it could determine life and death with a single blow.

An Jing raised his arm, the Evil Suppressing Sword in his hand creating a bizarre vortex as it vibrated towards the front.

“Bang!”

The moment their fist and sword’s Force Qi collided, both felt an overwhelming force assail them, and they drifted backward.

“What a formidable One Qi Grandmaster!”

Qi Shu felt a piercing pain on his fist, and his heart secretly filled with shock.

Before reaching the Grandmaster Realm, he would typically challenge masters of higher realms, but now, facing a Ghost Swordsman whose realm was lower than his, he hadn’t managed to take him down in one move.

It had to be said that among all the One Qi Realm masters Qi Shu faced, the Ghost Swordsman was one of the most outstanding.

The two exchanged looks across the distance, one standing on a sprig, the other on a giant boulder.

No sound was made, yet the atmosphere was incredibly tense.

An Jing’s eyes were fixed on Qi Shu, and in the next moment, he tapped his foot on the branch.

Shrinking Land into Inches!

His figure almost teleported, appearing in front of Qi Shu. Then, without any fancy movements, he thrust out his sword.

Thud!

The True Qi in front seemed to be pierced by the chilling Sword Qi, while around the blade, chilly currents whipped about, emitting a ear-piercing noise.

Clang!

Facing An Jing’s cold Sword Qi, Qi Shu didn’t flinch at all. His fist, glittering with starlight, ferociously struck out, directly clashing with An Jing’s Sword Light with raw power.

At the moment of impact, a shocking sound pierced the air. A ripple of wind unrolled, and within several zhang around them, True Qi violently exploded.

With a forceful punch, Qi Shu’s Fist Force ripped through the True Qi, following a tricky trajectory, and hit An Jing’s face with lightning speed.

Clang!

An Jing’s arm shook, the Evil Suppressing Sword extended to block the Fist Force. Then his figure lurched forward, his fingers glowing with a red light as his attacks poured down like a torrential downpour, enveloping Qi Shu.

Facing An Jing’s fierce offensive, Qi Shu’s eyes burned with fervor. With no intention of retreating, he met An Jing’s attack head-on with his Fist Force.

Clang, clang, clang!

The sounds of metal clashing crazily erupted between heaven and earth, accompanied by the residual waves of True Qi. These terrifying waves of True Qi turned the surrounding boulders and trees into dust.

Boom!

Suddenly, a Fist Force fiercely struck An Jing’s shoulder.

Crack!

A subtle sound of bones cracking emanated from the shoulder, clearly indicating that under the fierce force of Qi Shu’s punch, An Jing’s bones had been damaged.

Moreover, at the same time, that force also sought to send An Jing flying away.

Whoosh!

However, just as An Jing’s body flew backward, his arm suddenly rose, and from within the Evil Suppressing Sword a Sword Radiance burst forth, bringing with it a sharp light, sweeping across Qi Shu’s chest with astonishing speed.

As the sword light streaked by, Qi Shu’s garments in front of his chest split, and a glaring wound also appeared on his chest.

“What a fast sword!”

Qi Shu thought of that sharp sword light attacking, and his entire scalp tingled.

The next moment, Qi Shu’s eyes chilled, as his True Qi surged wildly and gathered in his arm.

In an instant, the skies above darkened, and a somber and oppressive atmosphere quietly spread around.

Qi Shu’s Fist Force extended, then he ferociously struck down towards An Jing.

Nine Stars Fist! Star Cloud Fall!

An overwhelming Fist Force swept out wildly, and in a blink of an eye, the daylight dimmed.

Boom, boom!

In the cloudless sky above, following the descent of the Fist Force, it was as if a stream of starlight had heavily fallen.

An Jing stood below like a small boat in the endless sea, swaying in the storm, his pupils reflecting the golden light, his heart perfectly calm.

A frigid aura swirled up, and then from the blade of the Evil Suppressing Sword, an earth-shaking Sword Qi burst forth.

Four Symbols Sword Technique! Wind Unstoppable!

A slash of Sword Qi burst from the Evil Suppressing Sword, tearing toward the oppressive starlight coming from the sky above.

This beam of Sword Radiance was thick and huge, like a river.

It was as if the Sword Radiance could pierce through all the vanity and light of the world.

Thud, thud, thud!

When the Sword Qi and the Fist Force collided, heaven and earth shook, and the ultimate glare was blinding.

“This Sword Skill…?”

Qi Shu’s fist collided with the Sword Qi and immediately split apart.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

A huge mushroom cloud spread from the center of the collision outwards.

The explosion was enough to destroy heaven and earth, instantly flattening the surrounding area for dozens of yards.

But the impact wave didn’t stop there, it continued to spread into the distance, forming a vast cloud of dust.

Wave after wave of world-ending tsunami surged into the distance, and it was unknown how long it would take before there was a sense of dying down.

An Jing, wearing a black robe, had bright light always shining in his eyes, and his hand-held Evil Suppressing Sword emitted white smoke.

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!

As a wild whirlwind blew, Qi Shu’s figure also appeared.

Qi Shu looked slightly disheveled, his sleeve cuffs torn, but it seemed that he had not suffered significant damage.

In battles, one often relies on the right timing, geographical advantage, and harmonious human relations.

Right timing is the trend, with Qi Shu being renowned for many years, backed by Black Ice Platform, having accumulated momentum over the years, and besides Xiao Qianqiu, he is considered the top among his peers.

As for An Jing, ever since his debut, he only suffered a powerless defeat at the hands of Jiang Shang, with the rest of his fights mostly ending in victory. Although he hadn’t obtained the title of the world’s number one swordsman, the momentum of his sword was sharp and dazzling, and he even gained fame throughout the world after pursuing Qi Shu for three hundred miles.

In terms of timing and geographical advantage, the two were evenly matched.

Human relations, the most critical aspect of battle, compared skills and Dao.

Dao refers to cultivation level, and on this, An Jing was one realm lower than Qi Shu. But An Jing’s Peak Fifth Realm Sword Skill, combined with the Evil Suppressing Sword in his hand, along with the mysterious “Nameless Heart Scripture”, put him one step ahead of Qi Shu.

The “Nameless Heart Scripture” not only rendered An Jing’s True Qi extremely pure but also more robust than that of a typical One Qi Grandmaster. Most importantly, it helped An Jing temper his muscles and bones, with a subtle trend towards transforming into Jade Bone, significantly enhancing his strength.

“Last time you escaped by luck, but today you’re bound to die no matter what,” said An Jing lightly, “Next, I will personally see you off.”

“Is that so?”

Qi Shu’s heart sank, and as he thought back to that terrifying sword skill, cold sweat uncontrollably broke out on his back.

An Jing watched Qi Shu and said no more.

“Thump!” “Thump!”

Suddenly, Qi Shu’s eyebrows furrowed tightly as he felt his heart start beating out of control, the pace quickening to the point it was like the resounding beat of drums and gongs.

“What’s going on?”

Qi Shu’s face turned red instantly as he hurriedly circulated his True Qi to suppress his heart’s pounding.

But the more he used True Qi to suppress it, the more violent his heartbeat became, as if trying to leap out of his mouth.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a cold Sword Qi rushed over.

“Pffft!”

As the Sword Light invaded, and despite Qi Shu’s swift reaction, a flash of cold light still slashed through his clothes, immediately leaving a trail of blood on his chest that brought a piercing pain that sobered his mind instantly.

But An Jing’s onslaught was relentless, like an incessant tide, aiming at Qi Shu’s throat and heart.

Qi Shu hastily dodged the two beams of Sword Light, throwing a punch straight ahead.

“Boom!”

The surging Fist Force roared out, the added weight behind the Nine Stars Fist forced An Jing back by dozens of steps.

“Splurt!”

Unable to hold back any longer, Qi Shu felt sweetness in his throat as blood spurted out in a jet.

The crimson blood hit the ground, instantly giving off a puff of white smoke.

“I refuse to believe that today I’ll be defeated by a swordsman with merely One Qi cultivation.”

With a low roar from Qi Shu, the Qi Mechanism around him surged again, rolling in like a vast tide.

Nine Stars Fist! Meteor from Beyond the Heavens!

This punch was Qi Shu’s killing move and also the origin of another of his titles.

The Fist Force, like starlight, descended heavily from the heavens, causing the air to tremble and emit thunderous ‘Boom! Boom!’ sounds.

With a push of his hand, An Jing’s Evil Suppressing Sword produced a Milky Way-like Sword Light behind him, transforming into a streak of light that shot forward.

Sword Control Technique!

The Sword Light opened and closed in the profound darkness, like a streak of light torn from the shadows.

“It’s over.”

Qi Shu’s eyes gleamed with a cold light, his Essence Blood burned slightly, and a surging Force Qi was generated within his body. He then slammed down with another punch.

The Nine Stars Fist! Each punch was heavier than the last; the further it went, the more True Qi was required. At this point, Qi Shu was resolute, even if it meant burning through his body’s Essence Blood, he was determined to slay the Ghost Swordsman.

Boom! Boom!

Earth-shattering explosions erupted from where the starlight fell, a terrifying and fierce Qi Mechanism poured out madly, the ground instantly shattered and split.

An astounding collapse appeared in front of them—after such a terrifying attack, how could the Ghost Swordsman possibly still be alive?

After about dozens of breaths, no signs of life emerged from the front.

“Ghost Swordsman, you shouldn’t have followed me here.”

Qi Shu laughed lightly as he saw this and then turned to walk towards the distance.

Boom! Boom!

However, just as he turned, from the whirlwind of Qi Mechanism and dust, there suddenly came a subtle yet heavy footstep. This sound caused Qi Shu’s body to freeze instantly, and then he expressionlessly turned around slowly, his pupils contracting as he watched the black-clothed figure emerge from the maelstrom of Qi, walking steadily forth.

Even covered in fresh blood, that figure still stood tall, like a sharp sword standing steadfast between heaven and earth.

That Sword Qi that pierced through heaven and earth suddenly swept out from around An Jing’s body, and under the impact of such powerful aura, the surrounding Qi Mechanism and dust began to fade away.

“How is this possible!?”

Qi Shu’s pale face turned even paler as he watched the Ghost Swordsman emerge from the dust like he had seen a ghost.

How could a Grandmaster of the One Qi Realm possibly withstand his full-powered strike?

He stared in awe at the black-clothed figure walking out from the sky full of killing aura, at this moment, the Ghost Swordsman’s aura had intensified to the extreme, almost enveloping heaven and earth.

That silhouette seemed even more vast than the heavens and the earth.

“Qi Shu, today you will undoubtedly die.”

An Jing said indifferently.

Coming back to his senses, Qi Shu’s face turned exceedingly ugly, and a terrifying feeling emerged from the depths of his heart.

He had always been the one to cross realms and slay masters; when had he ever been forced into such a situation by others?

“After such a long delay, that Taoist and the Black Flood Dragon are probably on their way.”

Qi Shu thought of something and, without any hesitation, immediately employed the “Shrinking Land into Inches” technique to head into the distance.

If his strongest blow couldn’t kill this Ghost Swordsman, why bother continuing the fight?

“Still trying to escape!?”

An Jing’s face showed no emotion as he quickly followed suit.

…….

In the Northern Wilderness, the You Mountain Zone, encampment of the Golden Eagle Banner.

As the vanguard, the Golden Eagle Banner army marched from Heaven Gate Pass toward Yuan City on the Beihuang Dao, engaging in several battles along the way. However, these were not particularly challenging, and by now they had already conquered four cities.

Chen Shi, the leader of the Golden Eagle Banner, always felt that something was odd about their journey, but he couldn’t put his finger on what exactly was amiss.

After reaching You Mountain, he ordered the troops to set up camp instead of advancing recklessly.

Chen Shi sat in his tent deep in thought, eyes tightly closed.

Beside him, apart from several Golden Eagle Banner generals, there were also a few unusually dressed figures from Jianghu; these were the experts from Houjin’s Soul Seeker Mansion.

Among them, a bewitchingly beautiful woman drew the gaze of many; she was none other than Ye Yurong, who had killed Wang Houbai.

A pungent smell of blood still lingered inside the tent. Following the scent, one could clearly see three corpses placed in the center.

Looking at their attire, these were clearly members of the Great Yan Martial World.

“It’s already the third batch.”

Ye Yurong looked at the bodies on the ground and chuckled softly, “Lord Chen doesn’t seem to be worried in the slightest.”

Chen Shi said indifferently, “These Great Yan Martial World masters dare to intrude into our Golden Eagle Banner camp; as many as come will die. Even ordinary Grandmasters cannot easily come and go.”

Martial World experts are formidable, but when facing tens of thousands of soldiers in formation, they too have no solution.

After all, everyone has their limit of exhaustion, and Grandmasters are no exception.

This chapt𝙚r is updated by freeωebnovēl.c૦m.

Ye Yurong nodded; she was well aware that within the Golden Eagle Banner ranks were arrows tipped with ‘Mysterious Yang Iron’, specially designed for dealing with common Jianghu masters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be effective against top Grandmasters, but for those who hadn’t reached that realm, it was essentially a case of killing as many as came.

“Boom!”

At that moment, a slight tremor appeared in the ground, and the water on the table shook. Chen Shi quickly exited the tent and demanded, “What on earth is going on?”

“In the North Camp, it is said that someone has broken straight in.”

A soldier hurriedly reported.

Chen Shi’s voice turned cold, “Is it another expert from the Five Lakes and Four Seas Hall? I’m curious to see just how many Jianghu experts the Five Lakes and Four Seas Hall possesses. Can’t we just finish off all the Jianghu masters in Great Yan?”

With that, Chen Shi strode determinedly toward the North Camp.

……..

You Mountain, North Camp.

The mountain range undulated with peaks and valleys, winding and twisting.

In the midst of the forest, there was a figure in a sorry state, covered in bloodstains, desperately running ahead.

This man was none other than Qi Shu.

Compared to the Ghost Swordsman, his movement technique was indeed faster by a fraction. He originally thought that without the Black Flood Dragon, he could easily shake off the Ghost Swordsman, but to his dismay, he found that the Ghost Swordsman was relentlessly following right behind him, and their distance was closing.

“How can this Ghost Swordsman be so terrifyingly strong when he is clearly just a One Qi Grandmaster?”

Qi Shu frowned and muttered to himself, but the pressing pursuit from behind left no room for further thought.

“Swish! Swish!”

He continued to leap forward, and suddenly saw up ahead a camp entrance with a black military flag hoisted high, bearing the image of a soaring eagle.

“Golden Eagle Banner!”

Seeing the flag, Qi Shu’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Having spent time in Houjin, he was very familiar with the Golden Eagle Banner, a particularly brave army. He hadn’t expected that Houjin had already advanced to this point.

Faced with tens of thousands of troops, even Grandmasters would have some reservations.

With this in mind, Qi Shu stomped his foot and sprinted toward the large camp in front.

“Who goes there!? Who dares to barge into our military camp?”

The sentinels on the watchtower shouted as they spotted Qi Shu.

Qi Shu shouted back, “I am Qi Shu from Black Ice Platform, and I am friends with Princess Eight of your ranks.”

“Princess Eight’s friend!?”

Upon hearing this, several soldiers were startled. Firstly, Qi Shu was speaking in Houjin language, and secondly, Princess Eight held an extraordinary status in Houjin.

One of the soldiers whispered harshly, “You wait here; I’ll go report this right now.”

Having said that, he hurriedly ran towards the camp.

“There’s no need to report now; quickly execute the Yan Country traitor behind me!”

Qi Shu’s brows furrowed. At this moment, a cold gleam was already rushing towards him from behind. He couldn’t afford to waste time and rushed directly towards the North Camp under the Golden Eagle Banner.

“Qi Shu, no matter where you flee today, you’re still going to die; why waste time?”

An Jing’s toes tapped the ground, his body soaring upward, catching up in the blink of an eye.

The two of them dashed into the North Camp one after the other.

“Not good!”

“Attack! Enemy attack!”

……

An Jing and Qi Shu charged into the North Camp, instantly causing a huge commotion. The loud sounds of gongs and drums immediately rang out as countless soldiers poured out from the tents like ants. In an instant, the place was swarming so heavily that there was no space to even set foot.

At that moment, a general clad in black armor walked out from a tent, demanding, “Who are you, and how dare you intrude on our Great Golden Eagle Banner camp?”

Qi Shu quickly shouted, “I am Qi Shu of Black Ice Platform, a guest under the tent of your Princess Eight, Zongzheng Yue. The man behind me is the Ghost Swordsman, the Yan Country Ghost Swordsman who killed your fellow Houjin man, Yan Gang, today.”

Upon hearing this, the leader under the Golden Eagle Banner glanced over in panic, “Qi Shu? The Ghost Swordsman?”

The Ghost Swordsman, who had taken down Yan Gang, was extremely famous in Houjin, even as renowned as Lin Yiyang, because Houjin’s genius swordsman Yan Gang died at his hands. All of Houjin bore intense hatred towards him.

“Qi Shu, it’s useless.”

An Jing’s gaze was icy cold as he drew his Evil Suppressing Sword.

“Shoo!”

A piercingly cold sword light emerged from the body of the Evil Suppressing Sword, heading straight for Qi Shu in front.

Qi Shu suppressed the trembling in his chest and threw a punch directly at the Sword Qi, not daring to let it touch even the slightest bit.

“Bang bang bang bang!”

Instantly, the North Camp started shaking violently, bursting with deafening noise.

“Why aren’t you killing that Ghost Swordsman yet?!”

Qi Shu stepped back dozens of steps on the ground, shouting at the still dazed leader of the Golden Eagle Banner.

“Forward, take down that Ghost Swordsman for me,” the leader of the Golden Eagle Banner finally came to his senses and ordered.

“Clang clang clang!”

Countless soldiers of the Golden Eagle Banner immediately surrounded them, with the blades of the soldiers in the front row stabbing straight towards An Jing.

“Seeking death!”

An Jing drew his longsword, and a surge of Sword Light flooded out, causing several soldiers in front to fall to the ground covered in blood.

One sword, multiple men down!

But this did not deter the soldiers of the Golden Eagle Banner. Instead, it spurred their ferocity, as the soldiers from behind surged forward one after another.

“Such a formidable swordsman.”

The leader of the Golden Eagle Banner’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together, a chill rising in his heart.

Qi Shu’s expression fluctuated. He knew all too well the terror of the Ghost Swordsman. The only way to deal with him was to let these endless waves of soldiers exhaust him.

“What’s going on?!”

Just then, Chen Shi and a group of others hurried over, looking at the chaotic scene in front of them and could not help but shout.

Seeing the newcomers, the leader of the Golden Eagle Banner quickly bowed and said, “Flag Master, just now two individuals suddenly barged into our North Camp, this man claims to be Qi Shu, a friend of Princess Eight, and the other is the Ghost Swordsman who slew Yan Gang…”

“Flag Master Chen, long time no see,” said Qi Shu, stepping forward to greet with a bow.

During his time in Houjin recovering from injuries, he had met Chen Shi twice, so they somewhat knew each other.

“So it’s Qi Ziyi,” Chen Shi thought, feeling a sudden shock.

Knowing that Qi Shu was a Second Qi Grandmaster expert and among the top fighters in the world, but now in such a sorry state, how fearsome was that pursuing Ghost Swordsman?

Qi Shu!?

The experts from Soul Seeker Mansion behind him heard the name and all turned their gazes over.

Qi Shu held a high position and a unique identity in Zhao Country, as well as robust strength. To them, he was a legendary figure, someone they did not expect to see in person today.

Sure, here is the translation for the provided text:

Qi Shu spoke in a deep voice, “Let’s not catch up on old times just yet, we’ll talk after this Ghost Swordsman is dealt with.”

Chen Shi’s eyebrows knitted together as he looked over, “Good.”

This Ghost Swordsman had a huge reputation in Great Yan, and was even one of the top Sword Immortals in the world. Killing him would not only earn Qi Shu’s favor but also deter the people of Jianghu in Great Yan; it was like killing two birds with one stone.

“I’d advise you not to meddle in affairs that aren’t your concern.”

An Jing swung his sword again, and countless soldiers fell, leaving a ground littered with corpses and flowing with blood in no time, staining the Evil Suppressing Sword crimson red.

The Evil Suppressing Sword was too sharp, slicing through regular iron armor as if it were tofu; none of the soldiers could withstand even a single one of his strikes.

“Arrogant!”

Upon hearing that, Chen Shi shouted, “Attack, capture this Yan Country traitor.”

Following Chen Shi’s command, all the soldiers in the camp converged, and wave after wave of troops attacked in an endless stream.

“Puff puff puff puff!”

An Jing, expressionless, raised the Evil Suppressing Sword in his hand and once again killed four soldiers in front of him. His body shot up from the ground, and in an instant, he charged towards Qi Shu.

Below, countless soldiers with spears and large knives hacked at An Jing, seemingly trying to block his way.

Qi Shu urged hastily, “Let’s get out of here first!”

Chen Shi laughed out loud, “Rest assured, Qi Ziyi, with a few hundred thousand soldiers here, what can a Ghost Swordsman do, even if he has reached the Grandmaster level?”

Although Chen Shi said so, he retreated toward the Central Army Camp behind him when he saw the Ghost Swordsman approaching.

As long as he didn’t die, the tens of thousands of men would surely wear the other down to death.

“Qi Shu, you can’t escape.”

An Jing shouted lowly, and with a fierce thrust of the Evil Suppressing Sword in his hand.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The Evil Suppressing Sword split into three blades, instantly creating supremely fierce Sword Light that swept through the surrounding area, turning the nearby soldiers into a pool of blood, and forming a vacuum zone around An Jing as if it were the center.

Killing like cutting weeds!

This scene was just too shocking!

Even the brave soldiers of the Golden Eagle Banner who had just crawled out of piles of dead bodies were now terrified to the point of their souls scattering.

And An Jing’s black robe had already been dyed red with blood, like a fierce ghost that had stepped out from the Underworld.

“Let’s discuss this later.”

Chen Shi shouted loudly.

An Jing sneered, leaped forward, and drew his longsword. Instantly, a master from the Soul Seeker Mansion was turned into a corpse.

“Stop him!”

Chen Shi urgently ordered the Soul Seeker Mansion masters around him.

The masters of the Soul Seeker Mansion, seeing the Ghost Swordsman who resembled a killing god, didn’t dare to block his path and quickly retreated backward.

“Damn it.”

Seeing this, Chen Shi’s brows locked tightly, “These cowards are indeed useless at critical moments.”

“Kill!”

“Protect the Banner Leader!”

Chen Shi’s personal guards each took a position to shield him.

“Puff puff puff!”

The Sword Light flew, and immediately, several bloody marks appeared on the guards’ necks, and they fell to the ground one by one.

Then countless soldiers of the Golden Eagle Banner gathered around, covering the escape of Chen Shi and others.

With each rise and fall of the Sword Light, more people fell to the ground, the sounds of battle were deafening, and blood dyed the entire camp red.

The black mass of soldiers came in waves, stepping over the corpses of those before them as they joined the fray, seemingly with no end in sight.

Killing!

In this world, no act was quicker than a swordsman taking a life.

“It’s… it’s too horrifying.”

“This Ghost Swordsman has gone mad with killing; no fewer than three hundred soldiers have died by his hand.”

…….

The members of the Soul Seeker Mansion, watching the Ghost Swordsman slaughter indiscriminately as if in a land without people, felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet to the crown of their heads.

The North Camp before their eyes had nearly a thousand corpses lying around.

In such a short time, the Ghost Swordsman had almost killed close to a thousand people.

Ye Yurong’s face lost all color at this moment, completely pale, especially upon seeing several Soul Seeker Mansion experts casually killed by the Ghost Swordsman, her heart was trembling even more.

He regarded the millions of troops as if they were nothing—what kind of terrifying expert was this!?

“Let’s go first!”

Seeing the Ghost Swordsman’s eyes red with killing, his sword rising and falling, inevitably several soldiers would fall, Qi Shu again felt the urge to retreat.

Although An Jing was facing the continuous advance of the Houjin soldiers, his eyes were always fixed on Qi Shu, and now seeing Qi Shu planning to escape, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

“Whiz, whiz, whiz!”

The three sword forms of the Evil Suppressing Sword suddenly merged into one, the “Nameless Heart Scripture” began to circulate within his body, and the surrounding Qi Mechanism surged towards An Jing like a tidal wave.

The Evil Suppressing Sword burst forth into the sky, followed by a surging and powerful current of Qi, creating a terrifying giant sword, with supreme Sword Qi piercing the mind and chilling the soul.

Unity Sword Technique! Sword Control Flying Immortal!

The giant sword moved magnificently forward, carrying an overwhelming, unstoppable might, turning Houjin soldiers it passed into a mist of blood.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”

The giant sword moved extremely fast, slicing through the air as if it would split everything ahead into two.

The air was filled with the stench of blood.

With a firm resolve in his heart, Qi Shu let out a low growl, then suddenly slapped out with his fist.

Instantly, all the Force Qi around the sky howled forth, carrying with it an incredible momentum, crashing head-on towards the giant sword.

In less than the blink of an eye, the giant sword, cutting through everything, rushed forward.

Clang!

At the moment of the collision, a thunderous sound shocked the heavens!

A round of dazzling and violent light spread outwards, in which everyone could feel the nearly destructive fluctuations.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

In the boundless sky, the shocking sounds echoed while on the vast ground, rings of earth waves spread out, nearly shattering the land.

“Whiz!”

From within that blinding light, suddenly, a piercing cold light burst forth, surging towards the front.

Upon seeing the cold light coming towards him, Qi Shu’s pupils contracted sharply, his pupils filled with the chilling light, his brain blanking out in that instant.

“Thump!”

The Sword Skill of the Evil Suppressing Sword was like thunder, piercing straight through Qi Shu’s heart, and even his body was hammered several yards away, eventually crashing heavily into the rocks behind the North Camp.

“……”

Qi Shu felt that he couldn’t muster any breath in his chest, his head tilted to the side, and all breath left him.

Suddenly, silence fell over the world, and all was quiet.

It was as if time had stopped at this moment.

Blood was still flowing on the ground, everyone stared at the man in the black robe in astonishment, their eyes filled with a hint of fear.

Chen Shi’s mouth hung open slightly, his heart already shocked to the extreme.

“Qi Shu is dead!?”

Hiding in the distance, Ye Yurong poked out her head to look, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Meanwhile, An Jing’s expression was as indifferent as water, casually walking towards Qi Shu’s corpse.

To him, it seemed slicing through Qi Shu in the midst of a huge army was an extremely easy task.

All eyes around him converged on the man in the black robe, each person on high alert, but none dared to approach.

“Crack!”

An Jing pulled out the Evil Suppressing Sword, then extended his hand, and suddenly, a drop of red blood flew out from Qi Shu’s chest, eventually landing in his palm.

“So this is the True Dragon Treasure Blood?”

An Jing felt the scorching heat in his palm, put away the solidifying red blood, and carried the Evil Suppressing Sword towards the outside of North Camp.

He walked over a ground littered with corpses, blood still flowing towards the distance.

Surrounding him was a dense crowd of Houjin soldiers, spanning miles.

Seeing the man in the black robe walk towards the camp’s exit, soldiers near the gate frantically moved aside, some even wounded by the blades of those behind them, blood dripping to the ground without them feeling it.

Everyone watched the man in the black robe leave, not even daring to breathe heavily.

Not until long after the man in the black robe had gone did North Camp remain in utter silence, still as the dead.
