He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he powerlessly collapsed to the ground.
Until his death, he never saw clearly how that sword light was wielded.
And at this very moment!
"Boom——!"
A sound like thunder, a sonic boom, came belatedly, roaring on this silent official road!
Silence.
Death-like silence.
The black-clad men who initially came with fierce momentum all stood dumbfounded, staring in horror at the cyan-robed steward who hadn’t moved an inch, just retrieved a flying sword into his sleeve.
What a joke?
Is this a cultivator in the late period of Qi Cultivation??
"This is... Sword Qi Thunder Sound!"
Duan Ling, an inner sect disciple, had always been aware of the Sword Qi Thunder Sound realm.
This is the first realm of Sword Intent, don’t underestimate it because it’s just the first realm, anyone who can comprehend Sword Intent is undoubtedly a pride of heaven!
On his face, there was immediate wild joy!
With Steward Chen here, his life is secure!
"What are you staring for? Charge!"
Chen Ye said irritably, instantly pulling Duan Ling back to reality from his shock and ecstasy.
"The leader is just a seventh-layer Qi Cultivation level character. Those two eighth-layer ones are hiding in some corner, being cowards."
Although he spoke lightly, inwardly, he was bitterly lamenting.
The Thunderbolt sword he just wielded seemed effortless, yet it had already consumed most of the spiritual power within him!
After all, he was merely an eighth-layer Qi Cultivation cultivator, forcibly activating a second-tier magical treasure to exhibit this kind of flying sword technique containing Sword Intent was an enormous expense, needless to say.
If not for his grandmaster-level Evergreen Technique, with spiritual power far surpassing cultivators of the same stage, he wouldn’t be able to wield even one sword!
He had intended to kill one eighth-layer cultivator first, but never having used Sword Intent against an enemy before, he did not know its power, so he first killed this leader.
However, those two were truly cowardly, letting a seventh-layer lead, while they hid among the crowd.
"Right!"
Duan Ling let out a long cry, his longsword in hand transformed into a fierce azure rainbow, proactively charging toward that group of black-clad men who were already scared witless!
In an instant, sword light crisscrossed, flesh and blood flew!
Those black-clad men, initially scared witless by Chen Ye’s "Sword Qi Thunder Sound," now faced Duan Ling, this inner sect disciple with momentum like a rainbow, how could they have any will to fight?
In just a moment’s effort, he had already slain one!
In the crowd, two exchanged glances, not daring to hesitate any longer, immediately performing escape techniques, fleeing towards two different directions!
Certainly,
they knew Chen Ye was only in the Qi Cultivation stage, such powerful flying swords would be difficult to continue wielding.
But they were merely hired killers, no need to take this risk.
In the cultivation realm, only seeking absolute stability can one survive and verify the Great Path.
But a certain man was even more cautious than them:
"Trying to escape? Sister Qingzhu, I’m counting on you."
Sister Qingzhu? Who is this?
Duan Ling was chasing ordinary black-clad men fleeing, he couldn’t help but glance around.
Yet, in this deep peach forest, except for the shadows of trees swaying with the wind, there was no one else.
But in the next moment,
A pink peach blossom petal, without any forewarning, leisurely fluttered down from the forest.
Next, the second, third piece...
In an instant, there was a rain of flowers in the sky!
A cyan figure, amidst the rain of peach blossoms soaring in the sky, stepped through the air, quietly landing.
Three thousand strands of green silk, loosely tied with a simple jade hairpin.
At the head of the pin, a hint of cold jade light, flickering unpredictably.
Just like the gleam in a maiden’s eyes—only Chen Ye knew she was a lady.
"Uh..." Chen Ye rubbed his brow.
No kidding, the big one and the small one really are alike, both love to show off, making an entrance with a shower of peach blossoms, eh?
But this scene indeed had everyone else completely fooled.
Even Duan Ling, his gaze was captivated.
Mao Qingzhu extended her slender jade-like hand towards the two black-clad men attempting to flee, above the void, lightly pressed.
"Boom——!"
A vast pressure belonging to a Foundation Establishment True Man descended with a roar!
Those two eighth-layer Qi Cultivation cultivators, who had already escaped dozens of feet away, couldn’t even utter a scream, as they were forcibly pressed to the ground by this terrifying spiritual power descending from above, spitting blood, unable to move!
Duan Ling stared dumbly at the miraculous scene before him.
Then looked at the unparalleled beauty, quietly flying beside Chen Ye, even having a few affectionate touches on her face.
"Am I late? Did these people scare Brother Ye..."
