Chapter 93: Spine as Bow, Arms as String!
Chapter 93: Spine as Bow, Arms as String!
A ruthless Sword Intent suddenly emerged!
Qin Zheng felt an unprecedented crisis of life and death explode in his heart!
Was this Sword Intent aimed at him?!
The Eagle Demon, Eagle Sovereign of the Gao Clan!!
In that instant, Qin Zheng's thoughts raced, and he instantly arrived at a conclusion!
He clenched his Ghost Head Saber, ready to turn and wield his blade against this powerful Sword Intent he had never felt before!
Carried by Essence Energy and with Sword Intent as its essence, this Sword Intent also originated from a Great Grandmaster!
The frantic warning in his mind was so urgent that it seemed to want to burst out of his body.
Qin Zheng wasn't sure if he could withstand this Sword Intent, but at this moment, aside from wielding his saber in retaliation, there was nothing else he could do!
Hummm!!!
Suddenly, a humming sound rang out from his side.
Immediately after, strands of crimson Essence Energy instantly gathered and condensed on the Dragon Coiling Spear, then surged forth!
Whoosh!!!
Boom!!!
The spear's Essence Energy and the Sword Intent collided in mid-air!
The overwhelming residual wave of force instantly spread out from the point of collision in all directions!
After the Sword Intent shattered with a boom, it transformed into radiant light arrows, becoming strands of fine Sword Intent that shot out in all directions.
In an instant, the N Character Camp stationed around Cold Avoidance Spring was affected.
Even Qin Zheng had to wield his Ghost Head Saber to block the scattered Sword Intent.
Ah!!!
For a moment, cries of agony filled the air.
Qin Zheng's heart sank.
As the residual wave of force subsided, Qin Zheng saw a pitiful scene before his eyes.
The tents within the N Character Camp had collapsed under the attack of the Sword Intent.
Many Demon Slayer Commanders and common soldiers who had just finished their battles and returned to the camp lay on the ground, bleeding profusely.
In that instant, a surge of intense anger erupted from within Qin Zheng's heart!
The last time he felt this anger was when he learned of Gao Wusheng's actions!
"Grand General!!!"
At this moment, Wang Weiqian's voice sounded panicked from behind.
Qin Zheng hurriedly turned around to look at Grand General Qin Li Hu, who had just speared out to save him.
If not for this Grand General's timely spear thrust, it would have been difficult for Qin Zheng to withstand the Sword Intent.
As Qin Zheng turned, he saw Qin Li Hu, covered in blood, with a gaping hole in his chest, revealing his internal organs!
Such a severe injury!!!
It had endangered his life!!!
Qin Zheng's face turned extremely somber. After the battle, the Grand General's injuries had only worsened, leaving him in an extremely weakened state.
The sudden change had caught everyone off guard. With his severely injured body, he hastily gathered his Essence Energy and threw the spear, already pushing himself to the limit.
But the last effort of a dying force couldn't completely block the full-powered Sword Intent, and he had borne the brunt of the attack!
This Grand General had taken this severe injury in his place!
Qin Zheng's heart was clear, and the anger within him burned fiercely, rising in intensity.
"Cough, cough!"
Qin Li Hu's face turned deathly pale, his aura collapsing like an avalanche.
He struggled to stand but staggered, and Wang Weiqian and Liu Mingyi quickly supported him.
"Grand General!!!"
Qin Zheng's expression was grave as he looked at Wang Weiqian and Liu Mingyi, his eyes filled with guilt.
This Sword Intent had been directed at him, and if not for his presence, the Grand General wouldn't have suffered such a severe injury!
At this moment, within the camp, many Demon Slayer Commanders and common soldiers had also been affected and injured!
Beneath Qin Zheng's surging anger, there was also a deep sense of guilt.
Qin Li Hu shook his head slightly, indicating to Qin Zheng not to speak.
Then he turned to Wang Weiqian and Liu Mingyi and said, "Calm everyone down."
After speaking, he instantly fainted and fell into Wang Weiqian and Liu Mingyi's arms.
"Grand General!!!"
Liu Mingyi shouted in panic.
Wang Weiqian's face was solemn as he looked at Liu Mingyi and Qin Zheng, and quickly said, "The Grand General's injuries are too severe. I'll send him to the Commander-in-Chief immediately!"
"Leave this place temporarily in your care, and..."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Zheng and said gravely, "With the Grand General absent, the demons in Huai'an Prefecture might stir again, so you'll need to take charge of suppressing them!"
The battle at Cold Avoidance Spring had made them realize that Qin Zheng's strength far surpassed theirs.
At this moment, within the N Character Camp, the only one qualified to temporarily take the Grand General's place was Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng nodded somberly.
Tweet!
Suddenly, the eagle's cry rang out once more.
Everyone looked up and saw a great eagle circling in the sky. After letting out a cry, it began to dive downward.
In an instant, anger surged in Qin Zheng's eyes.
Not escaping, huh? Then I'll keep you here!
Qin Zheng displayed his lightfoot technique, instantly arriving at the Dragon Coiling Spear stuck in the ground, and pulled it out.
Using his spine as a bow and his arms as strings, with the long spear as an arrow, Qin Zheng's raging power surged within him, like a floodgate opening, roaring through his body.
As the Eagle Sovereign dove down, Qin Zheng locked his gaze on it and suddenly hurled the Dragon Coiling Spear!
Boom!!!
A thunderous boom echoed through the four directions.
The Dragon Coiling Spear, in that instant, became a radiant light, piercing through the Eagle Sovereign's body in the blink of an eye!
Bang!
A spray of blood and feathers filled the air.
Qin Zheng had significantly enhanced his strength this time, and now, with his anger fueling his actions, his power was even greater than before.
The might of this spear strike far surpassed that of his previous Thunderbolt Radiant Arrow.
With just this one spear, he halted the Eagle Sovereign's descent, preventing it from launching another surprise attack.
Chirp!
A mournful eagle's cry echoed through the air.
The Eagle Sovereign's body seemed to be out of control, first being swept up by the power of the Coiling Dragon Spear, and then plummeting vertically towards the earth.
Witnessing this, both Wang Weiqian and Liu Mingyi's expressions turned grave, but a hint of relief appeared on their faces.
"You handle the remaining matters here with Qin Zheng, and I'll take the Grand General to the Commander-in-Chief immediately!"
Wang Weiqian spoke to Liu Mingyi, his gaze meeting the latter's serious eyes.
Then, under the weight of Liu Mingyi's intense stare, he lifted the Grand General with both hands and swiftly departed, utilizing his Lightfoot Technique.
The Grand General's severe injuries made it unbearable for him to endure the jostling of a horse, so he needed immediate attention before being transported by carriage to the Commander-in-Chief.
Not a moment could be wasted!
At this moment, Liu Mingyi also stood up, took a few strides, and returned to the main camp to attend to the wounded.
Having just dealt with the Cold Avoidance Pool Serpent Demonic Beast, the demons in the surrounding mountains had only just retreated. If they were to sense the situation here, they might turn back.
After all, the body of the Serpent Demonic Beast still lay sprawled nearby.
Although both the Eagle Sovereign and the Serpent Demonic Beast were Demon Kings, they were of entirely different levels.
Qin Zheng alone could not defeat the Serpent Demonic Beast in a one-on-one battle.
However, against a demon like the Eagle Sovereign, Qin Zheng was confident in his ability to slay it.
As the Eagle Sovereign plummeted towards the ground, its eyes filled with rage and surprise.
It had been lurking in the Cold Avoidance Pool for an entire day and night, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
It had endured and waited, anticipating the N Battalion to either defeat the Serpent Demonic Beast or be defeated by it, leaving the Young Sect Master at his weakest.
At that moment, it would unleash the Sword Seal, imbued with the Sect Master's Sword Intent, bestowed upon him by the Young Sect Master.
A single strike, a decisive blow!
But who would have thought that Qin Li Hu, despite his weakened state, could still unleash that spear strike, blocking Qin Zheng's Sword Intent?
In that instant, the Eagle Sovereign's rage towards Qin Li Hu surpassed even its anger towards Qin Zheng.
If Qin Zheng lived, it would die!
So, after circling a few times in the air, it made up its mind to dive down and attack Qin Zheng, taking advantage of his weakened state.
However, that young man's physical body was incredibly robust.
Even after such an intense battle, he could still unleash such a powerful strike, nearly taking half of the Eagle Sovereign's life.
At this moment, the Eagle Sovereign's mind was consumed by a single thought—escape!
Regardless of the consequences it might face for its failure, whether it would be executed or not, it knew that if it didn't flee now, it would die.
It flapped its wings with all its might, desperate to fly faster and farther, hoping to escape Qin Zheng's pursuit and threat.
But as blood flowed from its wounds, its body grew cold, and its consciousness blurred.
It flew erratically, bobbing up and down in the air like a drunkard.
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion reverberated.
The Eagle Sovereign's mind cleared for a moment, but then it felt its body pierced again.
This spear strike not only tore away flesh and blood but also shattered its last hope of survival.
Its body began a rapid descent towards the mountains and earth below.
Bang!
It slammed into the ground, its consciousness fading.
Through its blurred vision, it saw a young man with a cold expression, holding a Ghost Head Saber, standing before it.
It opened its mouth, attempting to speak, but before it could utter a word, a chilling saber light flashed, and its world spun. Darkness engulfed its consciousness.
