Chapter 4: Today, Annihilate the Golden Cicada Gang!
Chapter 4: Today, Annihilate the Golden Cicada Gang!
"Ji Changyin, you promised me!!!"
A piercing and furious shout echoed through the crowd.
In an instant, amidst Qin Zheng's gaze, a figure bathed in golden light burst forth.
In the blink of an eye, it crossed a distance of several dozen meters and arrived in front of Qin Zheng.
"You damn dog, die!!!'
The opponent's palm, as large as a fan, descended with rage.
An intense gust of wind seemed to rush towards Qin Zheng, causing his black hair to fly wildly.
A life-threatening crisis erupted in his heart at that moment!
In this instant, Qin Zheng swiftly raised the Ghost Head Blade, blocking the opponent's palm strike with the blade.
Bang!!!
An unstoppable force surged through the blade, instantly filling Qin Zheng's entire body.
Qin Zheng's body flew backward, and after flying horizontally for several dozen meters, he crashed onto the ground.
Shi Dian's eyes reddened, and as he moved to continue the pursuit, he heard a shout.
"Shi Dian, you're next!!!"
At that moment, on the other side of the execution ground, Ji Changyin, who was entangled with two men in black, slashed them back with his sword.
His entire aura changed in an instant, and his energy surged, no weaker than Shi Dian's.
With a stomp of his foot, the muddy ground beneath him suddenly exploded, propelling him instantly to Shi Dian's front. He then slashed down with his sword.
In that moment, an army captain and a gang leader crossed blades on the execution ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The two of them clashed like ferocious beasts, each collision creating a deafening sound.
Soldiers and commoners inside and outside the execution ground, all witnessing this scene in shock.
At this moment, Qin Zheng lay on the muddy ground of the execution ground, feeling intense pain throughout his body.
The gap was simply too vast!
Even though he had hastily improved his Ghost Head Blade Technique to its peak, it was still not enough to withstand the opponent's palm strike! Moreover, the golden light emanating from the opponent's body was proof enough of his extraordinary martial arts prowess.
There was undoubtedly a significant disparity between his Ghost Head Blade Technique and the opponent's martial arts.
Listening to the continuous loud noises by his ears, Qin Zheng endured the pain throughout his body and struggled to get up.
Subsequently, he diverted a sliver of his consciousness to observe the Virtue Scroll in his Heart Sea.
[Qin Zheng]
[Lifespan: 70 (17)]
[Martial Arts: Ghost Head Blade Technique (Peak)]
[Virtue: 1 liang 2 qian]
[Ghost Head Blade Technique can be improved, requiring 8 qian of Virtue. Do you wish to improve it?]
It can still be improved!
Qin Zheng's heart rejoiced, and without hesitation, he immediately thought, "Improve!"
Instantly, numerous memories related to the blade technique flooded Qin Zheng's mind.
At the same time, he felt a surge of heat emanating from his body, permeating his bones and muscles, and finally merging into his skin.
Under the influence of this heat, his skin seemed to become tougher.
The pain throughout his body subsided slightly.
But before he could fully comprehend the changes in his body, Qin Zheng's gaze was drawn to the two figures clashing in front of him, and a sense of awe appeared in his eyes.
Could a person's strength truly reach such a level?
At the same time, Shi Dian's peripheral vision caught sight of Qin Zheng standing up, and he was initially surprised.
However, anger swiftly followed!
The executioner who had beheaded his son was still alive?! Shi Dian roared, and his golden aura intensified. He extended his palm, striking Ji Changyin's long sword away with a single palm strike.
Then, turning around, he strode towards Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng's expression sank, and he gripped the Ghost Head Blade tightly.
Planting his feet firmly on the ground, his inner strength coursed through his body, rising from the ground, flowing through his spine, and finally spreading to his arms.
Shi Dian's entire body suddenly surged forward!
The Ghost Head Blade Technique was devoid of flashy moves, focusing solely on the purest form of slashing! With courage, each strike resulted in rolling heads!
This was the essence of the Ghost Head Blade Technique!
Seeing Qin Zheng taking the initiative to fight back with his blade, the civilians and soldiers around the execution ground showed a subtle change in their expressions.
They hadn't expected that a mere executioner would dare to raise his blade against the leader of a major faction in Black Goose City!
They felt anger towards Shi Dian, the leader of a gang, for allowing his son to bully and oppress the people of Black Goose City, committing all sorts of misdeeds.
They were furious that Shi Dian, after his son's beheading, would only dare to vent his anger on the weak.
At the same time, they admired Qin Zheng's courage to draw his blade against Shi Dian.
It was common knowledge that Shi Dian, as the leader of the Golden Cicada Gang, was one of the top experts in Black Goose City. Even the Stationed Army Captain sent by the Imperial Court to oversee the execution ground had failed to capture him.
Ordinary people would likely not even dare to look him in the eye, let alone draw their blades against him.
The civilians, as ordinary people, hoped for a miracle, wishing for Qin Zheng to win.
Although they knew it was impossible.
Ji Changyin witnessed this scene, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
He had thought that the young executioner had been killed by Shi Dian's resentful palm strike earlier.
But not only had he survived, he now had the strength and courage to face Shi Dian with his blade.
Shi Dian's anger burned like oil in a raging fire.
How dare this executioner resist!
Had Shi Dian's lack of action for too long given the executioner the confidence to face him?
Shi Dian roared, and the golden light emanating from his body intensified.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the golden palms and the Ghost Head Blade clashed violently.
Clang!!
The crisp sound of clashing weapons echoed throughout the execution ground.
Shi Dian's expression froze, and he seemed slightly startled and puzzled.
The power of this strike, though far inferior to his own, was evidently much stronger than the previous one.
The executioner before him now had the ability to barely withstand one of his moves!
Many witnesses registered this scene, their faces showing surprise and a hint of hope.
But before the stalemate could last even a breath, Qin Zheng once again felt a powerful force surging through the blade and into his body.
This force was even stronger than the previous one!
Boom!
Under this power, Qin Zheng was sent flying like a cannonball once more.
Shi Dian's eyes flashed with disdain, and he took a step forward to pursue.
But before he could take half a step, his expression changed drastically.
Ji Changyin's long blade had somehow landed on his back.
The golden light emanating from his skin seemed to dissipate under the force of the strike.
"Ji Changyin!!!"
Shi Dian shouted, lowering his body to dodge the blade, and then he sprinted away from the execution ground.
Ji Changyin maintained his blade-wielding posture, not chasing after Shi Dian.
Only after Shi Dian's figure disappeared did a soldier approach respectfully and say, "Sir?"
"Gather everyone. Today, we eradicate the Golden Cicada Gang!" Ji Changyin said calmly.
"Yes, sir!" The soldier's face paled, sensing that Black Goose City was about to undergo a significant change.
Ji Changyin's gaze shifted to the distance, where Qin Zheng was struggling to stand up.
