Chapter 422 - 287: Consecutive Slaying of 3 Supreme Grandmasters
In the Danyang Mountain Range,
Nie Ghost God held Qi Baiyu and fled quickly. After all, as a Supreme Grandmaster, even if not adept at Qinggong, the speed was not slow, leaving behind fleeting shadows in the wilderness, breaking the rain droplets into misty water sprays.
Just as Nie Ghost God was sprinting through a forest,
the severely injured Qi Baiyu he held suddenly opened his eyes, filled with clarity, without the slightest trace of becoming a Fallen Demon. He slowly raised his hand, using his finger as a sword, suddenly pointing at Nie Ghost God’s heart.
At that moment,
Nie Ghost God suddenly felt something, deep within his Spirit Platform a terror arose, instinctively discarding the severely injured Qi Baiyu he was holding.
However, the gravely wounded Qi Baiyu,
was still Qi Baiyu,
his sword, how many in this world could withstand it, let alone this was a sneak attack.
Nie Ghost God was incredibly frightened, retreating madly,
under the night sky, the rain was pervasive,
Qi Baiyu used his finger as a sword,
just two fingers together, without mobilizing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, nor flooding True Essence, just such a finger pointing at Nie Ghost God.
But it was this finger,
that in Nie Ghost God’s eyes, became an exceedingly terrifying sword, a power beyond the sense of speed, like a mighty turbid wave descending from heaven, the speed wasn’t necessarily fast, but the momentum caused even the Supreme Grandmaster Nie Ghost God’s heart to fear, feeling unable to prevent its occurrence.
Nie Ghost God floated in mid-air, eyes full of disbelief looking at Qi Baiyu,
this sword,
felt even more terrifying than the last sword in the previous confrontation with Gu Zhan.
Meanwhile,
the pursuer Sword One suddenly stopped,
he slightly tilted his head, the blood mist engulfing his eyes vanished at that moment, and the overwhelming Demonic Qi was suppressed. His eyes became clear, murmuring, "This is the sword of Qi Baiyu!"
...
"How could this sword be?"
At that moment, atop a mountain, Yuan Zhixiang, who was fighting and retreating, suddenly trembled all over, a wave of fear inexplicably rose in his heart,
he sensed the terrifying Sword Intent appearing in the forest,
because he sensed it,
he felt fear,
this sword wasn’t something of the human world,
this sword wasn’t one Nie Ghost God could unleash, nor was it possessed by Sword One. Eliminating these two, there was only one person here most unlikely:
— Qi Baiyu!
At the same time, Gu Zhan also sensed this sword,
but, usually during combat, he focused on being undistracted. Even though that sword presented a fatal crisis, he still paid no heed.
Instead, he seized Yuan Zhixiang’s moment of distraction to launch an attack,
a saber descending,
accompanied by a saber shadow tens of yards long descending from the sky,
as golden light burst forth, the Power of Heaven and Earth and the powerful Sword Qi that Yuan Zhixiang managed to hastily muster were all extinguished completely!
With a crisp "crack",
the sword in Yuan Zhixiang’s hand shattered directly, watching with wide eyes as the iron lump in Gu Zhan’s hand smashed down.
In that instant, Yuan Zhixiang realized he had committed the greatest error, an error a novice who just entered the Martial Arts world would know, but he committed it.
He dared to be distracted in front of Gu Zhan,
that was Gu Zhan,
who in front of him slaughtered Lu Yuan Dao’s martial world and defeated the top-tier experts in Qi Baiyu’s realm.
Having fought Gu Zhan for quite some time,
he was well aware, he was definitely not Gu Zhan’s match.
However, he didn’t want to defeat Gu Zhan, he just wanted to entangle him and seize a chance to escape. Although he couldn’t beat Gu Zhan, with his heart set on fleeing, he was quite confident,
but, a battle among strongmen,
leaves no room for the slightest oversight,
and he got distracted!
Gu Zhan slashed with his saber,
Yuan Zhixiang’s heart seemed to stop beating, caught between life and death, in that instant, he could only rely on instinct, reaching out both hands, grasping at all air currents and Spiritual Qi in the air with his five fingers.
Palm clashed with saber!
Their strike seemed to cause the surrounding space to tremble slightly, the air fierce, spreading like rippling water, a fierce wind lifting debris skyward,
with a loud "crack",
Yuan Zhixiang was directly blown away, crashing into the ground, his entire body embedded in it, both arms smashed apart, falling onto the muddy earth, fingers still twitching slightly.
Gu Zhan stomped his foot, his whole body soared into the air, lightning spreading over the Horizontal Saber, he gripped the hilt with both hands, descending in a stance like Mount Tai about to collapse,
"pffft"
The saber without a tip or edge pierced into Yuan Zhixiang’s chest, causing the bones in his chest to fracture entirely.
Yuan Zhixiang lay in the muddy pit, blood gushing from his mouth, looking extremely disheveled, eyes filled with unwillingness, staring at Gu Zhan, lips slightly parted seeming to want to speak, but only blood foam oozed out when he opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.
"You fall far behind Qi Baiyu, much less Sword One,"
Gu Zhan tightly gripped the hilt, speaking softly: "Although I don’t know what Sword King City is plotting, if even a Sword One, a Qi Baiyu can be abandoned, I just think it’s very foolish!"
Yuan Zhixiang’s eyes suddenly widened, head lifted, mouth opened forcefully, yet still unable to produce a sound, only spraying a mouthful of blood, head fell into the mud, life had departed.
