Chapter 74: Lone Warrior Against the Grandmaster, A Swinging Blade to Sever the Head!
Chapter 74: Lone Warrior Against the Grandmaster, A Swinging Blade to Sever the Head!
Bang!
An arrow, like a flash of light, pierced through the wall.
The man in white suddenly stretched out his hands, grasping the incoming arrow.
Sizzle!
A sound like high-temperature scorching flesh and blood rang out.
The friction between the arrow and the air generated intense heat, continuously pouring out from his grasp.
The man in white maintained a calm expression, and his hands gripping the arrow glowed with a faint white light.
After a few breaths, the power contained within the arrow was completely absorbed by him.
The ground beneath his feet, without him noticing, cracked open with several fissures.
He had deflected a portion of the power contained in this arrow and endured the rest with sheer force.
A thin thread of fresh red blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
He calmly wiped it away, then turned to look at Gao Wusheng, whose body was now only half-remains, barely clinging to life. "Eighth Young Master, hold on," he said.
If not for his and Su Wu's timely arrival, this descendant of the Quanyang Gao family, the current governor of Qingzhou's son, would have been shot and blown apart in Black Goose City.
However, the arrow was too fast and powerful, and he could only barely manage to divert the arrow's fatal strike from Gao Wusheng's upper body.
As for the lower body, it exploded and shattered into a mess of blood and flesh under the impact of the arrow.
Now, it was unclear how the attacker could find his trail.
At this moment, leaving was not a realistic option; it would be better to deal with the attacker first.
Although the Eighth Young Master was the least favored son of the Gao State Governor, seeing him in such a state, half-dead and half-alive, would undoubtedly enrage the governor.
Bringing back the attacker's head should help alleviate the governor's anger.
With this thought, he reached for the long spear placed to the side, turned, and headed out of the room.
With Su Wu and him restraining the attacker, there was no way the attacker could shoot a second arrow!
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and with a single step, he surged forward like a phantom, rushing towards the battlefield deep within the government office.
At this moment, deep within the government office, buildings crumbled into ruins.
After Qin Zheng fired the arrow, the man in black charged forward.
Temporarily unable to shoot a second arrow due to the man in black's interference, Qin Zheng had no choice but to set down his large bow and wield his sword to engage the enemy.
Although the man in black's strength was not as great as his own, his speed and agility far surpassed him!
Moreover, his sword technique was too simple, with too few variations, making it difficult to compensate for the shortcomings in speed and agility with skill.
At this moment, as Qin Zheng wielded the Ghost Head Saber and fought against his opponent, he also felt a sense of helplessness.
The man in black couldn't defeat him, but he couldn't defeat the man in black either.
However, at this moment, Qin Zheng fully activated his mental manipulation at the brow ridge, locking onto Gao Wusheng's location to prevent his escape.
Additionally, the man in white, who was guarding Gao Wusheng, was also approaching with a long spear in hand.
Gao Wusheng, now only half his body remaining, couldn't escape on his own.
"Your speed is inferior to mine, and your agility is inferior to mine, yet you dare to be distracted?" The man in black's voice suddenly rang out behind him.
Qin Zheng's expression sank, and he barely had time to raise his saber to block the attack.
Immediately, a powerful force struck him, causing him to stagger forward.
The man in black launched a barrage of attacks like a violent storm, leaving Qin Zheng struggling to defend himself.
This won't do!
Continuing like this was not an option!
Qin Zheng's eyes grew heavy, and he realized that in this situation, he might not be able to withstand the siege of the two men!
As expected of a grandmaster from the Quanyang Gao family, far superior to the likes of Li Ye!
Boom!
Just then, a figure in white, wielding a long spear, rushed forward. The spear thrust out like a dragon, aiming directly at Qin Zheng's heart.
"Xu Mu, this kid is incredibly strong. Be careful!"
The man in black, Su Wu, shouted a warning at this moment.
Qin Zheng's gaze slightly condensed, and he slashed with his saber, forcing Su Wu to retreat. Simultaneously, as the spear thrust forward, Qin Zheng grabbed the spear shaft with one hand.
His body sank, and his muscles and bones tensed in an instant.
Buzz!
A buzzing sound seemed to emanate from within his body.
An immense and unstoppable force, like a mighty river, surged and flowed within his body.
His skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs seemed to roar in unison!
An overwhelming strength, surpassing a thousand jin, erupted from his body!
"Hmm?!"
Xu Mu's expression changed instantly. He felt as if the long spear in his hand had been plunged into a muddy swamp.
No matter how he tried to exert his strength, he couldn't move it an inch.
How could this kid be so strong?!
Before he could finish his thought, a powerful force suddenly surged through the spear, pulling him forward.
At the same time, the Ghost Head Saber in Qin Zheng's other hand slashed down towards Xu Mu.
Bang!
The saber left a white scar in the air.
Even the air couldn't withstand the power contained within this strike, and it was sliced apart!
Xu Mu immediately abandoned the long spear in his hand and quickly retreated backward.
Boom!
The saber nearly grazed his face.
The saber then slashed into the ground, creating a crack several meters long.
A bloodstain appeared on Xu Mu's face, and blood trickled down from the wound, dripping towards the ground.
This made Xu Mu feel an intense mix of surprise and anger.
How could he, a grandmaster, be slashed in the face by a mere country bumpkin's brute force?
How could he face others after returning to Xuan'en Mansion?
How could he face the Gao State Governor?
But before he could act on his anger, he saw Qin Zheng forcing him to retreat.
Then, towards the direction where Gao Wusheng was located, Qin Zheng suddenly thrust his spear forward!
Bang!
The long spear pierced the air, transforming into a flash of light that surged forth.
Xu Mu and Su Wu's faces paled.
Immediately, Su Wu chased after the spear with extreme speed.
He was renowned for his exceptional lightfoot techniques and unmatched speed.
At this moment, as he pushed his lightfoot skills to the extreme, his speed surpassed even that of Qin Zheng's thrown spear by a fraction!
And after throwing the spear, Qin Zheng didn't hesitate for a moment.
He spun around, and while Xu Mu was still distracted, he brandished his ghost head saber and slashed towards his neck.
Now that he had killed Gao Wusheng, these two would naturally have to stay and be dealt with to prevent them from causing trouble for him later.
After all, they were both powerful Masters, especially the man in black who was known for his agility. If he were to launch a sneak attack, it would be difficult for Qin Zheng to defend against it!
So, at this moment, Qin Zheng had made up his mind.
Gao Wusheng, you must die!
These two Masters from Quanyang Gao Family, must also be eliminated!
Under his strike, Xu Mu's heart raced with crisis, and he quickly reacted.
Without a weapon, he swiftly utilized his lightfoot techniques to dodge Qin Zheng's attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Qin Zheng was like a human bulldozer, and under his strikes, the government offices crumbled rapidly.
Whoosh!
Just then, a spear flew towards them.
Xu Mu quickly reached out and caught it, and holding the spear, he faced Qin Zheng's ghost head saber.
With a weapon in hand, he no longer held back, no longer avoiding every attack.
Su Wu also joined the battle, but Qin Zheng caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye, noticing a bloody hole in his chest.
It seemed that taking that strike had come at a cost.
At this moment, the three of them, like human tyrannosauruses, clashed in the government offices of Black Goose City.
The intense booms and commotion reverberated throughout the entire northern part of the city.
Qin Zheng fought against two Masters from Quanyang Gao Family, one against two!
But his advantage lay in his formidable strength, and now that the two Masters had realized this, they both engaged him with agile maneuvers.
Qin Zheng's strengths were gradually suppressed.
In this situation, Qin Zheng had no choice but to fight even harder.
His physical potential was continuously squeezed, and his five viscera began to activate their cultivation on their own.
The five viscera started to emit waves of vital energy, and strands of life essence qi emerged, drawing in heavenly essence qi that entered his body, only to be refined and crushed, merging into every part of his body.
As his body nourished itself, his already bone-refining extreme physique began to transform to the next level.
The life essence qi that emerged started to coalesce, flowing towards his dantian.
Qin Zheng naturally sensed the changes within himself.
Not only him, but even Xu Mu and Su Wu, who were fighting him, also felt his transformation.
"He hasn't even awakened his life wheel yet!"
"To possess such formidable strength and terrifying physical talent even at the Bone Refinement Realm, this guy is truly a monster!"
The two exchanged glances, and for the first time, they considered the idea of retreating.
But...
"No! If we wait for him to break through, we might not be able to escape!"
Su Wu shouted.
Xu Mu nodded gravely.
At this moment, they had made their decision.
And almost at the same instant, Qin Zheng's eyebrows twitched, and a surge of life essence burst from his abdomen!
In that moment, their auras skyrocketed!
Their attacks became even more powerful and unrestrained.
Qin Zheng swung his saber, and Xu Mu lifted his spear to parry.
Suddenly, a force even stronger than his own surged into Qin Zheng's body.
At the same time, Su Wu leaped forward, appearing before Qin Zheng in an instant, and his twin swords struck towards Qin Zheng's neck.
Qin Zheng struggled to pull back his saber to block the attack.
Boom!
In an instant, Qin Zheng's figure was sent flying.
Xu Mu and Su Wu didn't stop, and they continued their relentless assault.
In this situation, Qin Zheng could only barely hold his ground, fighting and retreating, and wounds began to appear on his body.
The battle seemed to be turning into a one-sided affair!
Bang!
With their next strike, Qin Zheng's figure was sent flying again, crashing into a pile of ruins.
But this time, Qin Zheng's figure didn't reappear immediately.
Su Wu and Xu Mu's expressions changed.
They took a step forward, and in the ruins, they found no trace of Qin Zheng.
They turned towards the house where Gao Wusheng was located.
There, they saw a wounded Qin Zheng, his body reduced to a half-corpse, standing over the pleading Gao Wusheng, his right hand gripping the ghost head saber.
As their gazes fell upon him, Qin Zheng's mental energy flowed along the blade, and he swung the ghost head saber towards Gao Wusheng's neck, severing it in an instant!
Just like an executioner beheading a prisoner on the execution ground!
"Nooooo!"
Xu Mu and Su Wu shouted.
Whoosh!
The saber's light flashed, and a head filled with despair rolled onto the ground.
[Gao Wusheng, driving away demons and devouring humans, his sins are heavy. Killing him will earn 32.78 jin of merit.]
