Chapter 77: Flight Impossible
Chapter 77: Flight Impossible
Upon reaching the Jade Liquid Realm, the human body becomes as rich and fragrant as a precious elixir.
Only when one's cultivation reaches perfection can they suppress their radiant aura and return to a simple and pure state.
But at this moment, Shen Yi's eyes glinted sharply as he took a step forward, his presence filling the air as he approached the thicket.
His viscera shone with a golden glow, and his blood surged with the same brilliance within.
The rich and heavy aura he had been suppressing finally spread rapidly in all directions, revealing the perfection of his Jade Liquid Realm cultivation!
Clang!
Amid the sharp ringing of a sword!
The startled officers tumbled out of their tents, their swords already gripped tightly in their hands.
The first thing that met their eyes was the countless sword auras filling the sky.
"You dare come closer?!"
"If you want to keep your life, get out of my way!"
The Sword Cultivator's furious roar pierced the heavens, and countless sword auras enveloped the thin figure, like the claws of a fierce beast, slowly closing in.
"Rebellion by the disciples of Qingfeng Mountain!"
With such a powerful display, Wang Meng let out a deafening roar, hoping to alert those outside the thicket on the short hill.
Instinctively, he searched for another figure, his heart filled with both shock and relief.
Fortunately, General Hong had arranged for two Jade Liquid Realm cultivators to be here.
The bandits of Qingfeng Mountain had actually chosen this place to break through!
Although the sword auras were fierce, the two of them working together might be able to hold out until the generals arrived.
Soon, the officers' eyes fell on Dai Bing, who stood with her sword in hand.
They saw her palm trembling slightly as she raised her sword, but instead of facing the enemy, she aimed it at the youth in the ink-colored robe.
This action left the officers stunned, and their hearts sank: "..."
Being experienced, they needed no further guesses as to what was happening.
They clenched their jaws and rushed towards the woman with their knives.
Boom!
In the distance, the gradually converging and increasingly dense sword auras suddenly exploded, covering a three-foot-long sword. As it stabbed forward, it shattered, and a violent gale swept through, kicking up rolling clouds of dust.
Everyone raised their arms to shield their eyes.
A loud voice rang out in the thicket.
"Sister, if you don't make a move now..."
Dai Bing gritted her teeth and stared intently at the front, her sword-holding hand no longer trembling.
Her eyes filled with bloodshot streaks as she turned and shouted at the officers, "Get lost! We used to be colleagues, don't push me!"
She detected a hint of panic in her senior brother's voice.
He had been famous for a long time and rarely showed such unusual emotions when fighting others, especially against a young officer who had just started his career.
She had intended to intimidate Shen Yi without causing any harm, but who knew he would be so stubborn and actually block her senior brother...
If she hesitated any longer, they wouldn't be able to leave today!
With that in mind, she rushed forward, and the sword in her hand surged with similar sword auras, albeit slightly weaker.
In front of her, the dust and smoke dispersed.
Shen Yi held the hilt of his knife with one hand and drew the knife upward. The black and straight ceremonial knife had not yet fully left its sheath when its blade blocked the stabbing three-foot-long sword.
He gazed down at the man before him and continued to draw his knife with composure.
When the knife tip was fully exposed, Shen Yi slightly turned his hand, and under the immense force, the long sword in the man's hand suddenly bent into an extremely exaggerated arc, emitting a mournful creak.
The Qingfeng Mountain Executor's forehead broke into a cold sweat, and his initially indifferent face now showed a hint of disbelief.
The tremendous vibration transmitted through the sword handle almost made him lose his grip.
Such terrifying strength was as if he was facing not an officer of the Demon Subduing Department, but a humanoid demon!
Crack—
The fine iron sword, unable to withstand the pressure, lasted only for three breaths before it was covered in dense cracks and completely shattered into small fragments that embedded themselves into the Executor's body.
"Senior Brother!"
Dai Bing, who was charging forward with her sword, lifted her gaze to see a figure flying towards her. Her face filled with panic as she hastily retracted her momentum, causing her steps to falter.
Before she could steady herself, her Senior Brother crashed into her.
Instinctively, she reached out to catch him, and as her palm made contact with his body, her expression changed drastically.
Boom! Boom!
The robust force surged through her Senior Brother's body into her, leaving her no time to react as she was flung away like a ragdoll.
Her internal organs felt like they were being squeezed and crushed, threatening to rupture.
Dai Bing, clutching her Senior Brother, crashed through several giant trees before finally landing on the ground, spewing a mouthful of crimson blood, nearly dying on the spot.
Under this terrifying force, her years of diligent sword training and her early Jade Liquid cultivation seemed feeble and futile.
Dai Bing struggled to breathe, her face filled with terror. Her weak hand reached out towards the longsword that lay nearby.
Just as her fingers were about to touch the hilt, a boot slowly pressed down on her wrist.
In the midst of excruciating pain, she looked up with a startled cry.
Looming above her was the young man, his bright eyes devoid of emotion, casually pressing the edge of his blade against her throat.
Dai Bing's hand was just inches away from the sword hilt, as if a little more effort would be enough to grasp it.
Yet, despair slowly filled her eyes. "...''
Without a doubt, if she persisted in her intention to draw her sword, the pitch-black treasure blade would pierce her throat without the slightest hesitation.
How could a mere Second-Stripe Officer be so formidable, crushing any thoughts of resistance?
The Qingfeng Mountain Executor's breath was faint, and he slowly placed his palm on Dai Bing's arm, his fingers weak yet conveying his intention.
He opened his mouth, his neat teeth stained with crimson, and said miserably, "Thank you, Officer, for sparing our lives."
"..."
Shen Yi glanced at him and casually slashed his blade across the man's face.
What nonsense.
When the Executor had attacked, it seemed overpowering, but he had actually left a way out.
Anyone with a Jade Liquid cultivation, with a frightened mind and a slight retreat of a dozen steps, could have avoided the attack.
The price, however, would be to watch the two of them escape.
There was no way he would let this couple flee.
Killing them wasn't necessary, either.
As for whether they lived or died, that was no longer his concern, just as they hadn't considered the consequences of their actions on him if he let them go.
Sheathing his blade, Shen Yi kicked away the longsword, "Tie them up and send them to General Hong."
The officers stared at the devastated forest, the tall, giant trees leaning precariously. For a moment, they couldn't quite process what had transpired.
They couldn't even comprehend what they had just witnessed.
They had seen the sword auras explode, and then Shen Yi had effortlessly knocked the two cultivators to the ground... These weren't ordinary people, but two Jade Liquid realm experts.
The officers swallowed, their mouths dry.
They now had more faith in the words of Colonel Hong Lei from before. Although they didn't know if there was a powerful family named Shen in Qingzhou or if they could really make Zhao Kon-Lin's grandfather kneel and beg for mercy, it was unquestionable that this person was not to be trifled with.
Wang Meng recalled the scene a few days ago when Shen Yi had politely asked him for guidance, and he shuddered involuntarily.
With such a ruthless display of strength, he didn't seem like someone who was easy to get along with.
The officers retrieved the specially made hemp ropes from their tents, feeling that it was unnecessary as the two captives were barely breathing. Nonetheless, they obediently tied them up securely.
