Translator: 549690339
In Harvest County, the night was pitch-black.
Captain Zhang felt like crying a bit.
He did not expect his luck to be so terrible.
Qin Yun made such a commotion, leading the enemies to the north of the city, so he chose the opposite direction, fleeing towards the south.
He originally thought that there was a good chance he could escape.
However, it turned out that the entire Harvest County was controlled by the White Lotus Sect, and even the south gate was completely blocked.
Without hesitation, he stayed in place for a while and then immediately turned around to leave.
The group of martial artists guarding the city gate did not pose much threat to him, but another man dressed in black gave him a strong sense of danger. If he were to charge past forcibly, he would undoubtedly die.
Although the city was dangerous, as long as he was not discovered, there was still a chance for survival.
Perhaps due to his terrible luck, when he turned around, he immediately spotted someone.
“Fuck, when did someone appear here?”
“I just left the team for a moment to relieve myself.” The man in black with a black hood, exposed a pair of dizzying eyes, his pupils widened.
“Go to hell!”
Captain Zhang, who reacted, had a cold light burst in his eyes. The hand holding the saber hilt tightened, and the strength and true qi of his entire body burst out in an instant.
The saber was unsheathed, and its ringing sound echoed in the night sky.
He slashed out with all his strength, landing directly on the man in black.
As a captain, his strength could rank in the top ten in Harvest County, and killing this man in black was not a big issue.
“Alih–”
A miserable scream sounded, and the man in black was split in half even before he could put away his private parts.
Boom!
Slashing diagonally downwards, his entire body was cut into two halves.
At the moment when Captain Zhang unsheathed his saber, the man in black guarding the carriage reacted and looked towards him with their eyes all at once, then charged towards him.
“Seems like this is where I meet my end.”
There’s no chance of escape, and he no longer wanted to run.
“Come to die!”
Captain Zhang shouted angrily, and a nearly ten-foot-long saber light burst out from his saber, cutting one person in half at the waist.
His saber technique was ruthless, as if it had been tempered through a thousand hammers.
The other people were frightened by Captain Zhang’s fearless posture.
They were not even peripheral members of the White Lotus Sect, and their strength was limited. They retreated one after another when faced with a fearless True Qi Realm martial artist.
“Hmph, a bunch of trash, get out of my way!”
A powerful aura erupted and stepped out from the crowd. Dressed in black clothes and a black mask, the man in black was almost completely merged with the night. Only his eyes were visible through the mask.
His dark eyes revealed the danger from Devil’s Swamp, and the cold gaze was like a newly sharpened knife, causing Captain Zhang to shiver all over. It felt as though his body was being constantly sliced by a knife.
The captain’s gaze towards his opponent became even more solemn, and he couldn’t help but grip the saber hilt tighter, seeking solace from his fear.
“This guy must be at least at the Transforming Origin Realm, if we have to fight head-on, I might not be able to withstand a single move!”
“What should I do? What should I do?”
His mind was constantly thinking about countermeasures.
“Rat, you’re lucky to have survived this long!”
As soon as the words fell, the man in black’s aura surged again, turning into a ghostly light, and rushed towards Captain Zhang.
With a palm blast, it felt as if mountains and rivers were on the move. The murderous intent sealed all directions, true origin enveloped him, leaving Captain Zhang nowhere to retreat.
Since there was no escape, he might as well go out with a bang.
“Take my saber!” Fear disappeared from his face as an overpowering fighting intent burst from his eyes. His muscles bulged, and his strength gathered in his arms. The true qi in his dantian rushed to his long saber like a surging river.
Before the saber even swung, the blade light had already begun to erupt!
“Die!”
With an angry shout, the long-accumulated power and blade light burst out in an instant.
“Rumble!”
The saber felt like it was striking a powerful barrier. The blade light shattered, and the overwhelming power swept across his entire body.
Captain Zhang was struck by the palm and flew out, coughing out blood.
“Too powerful, I don’t even have a chance to fight back!”
Leaning on his saber, kneeling on one knee, Captain Zhang’s face was full of despair.
As the man in black gradually closed in, he sensed that his life was coming to an end, but he did not regret his past choices.
“Knowing the consequences, why even bother in the first place!”
It seemed that the man in black knew Captain Zhang, revealing a trace of contempt in his eyes. As he approached, the true origin in his palm surged, slowly falling on Captain Zhang’s forehead.
The strong force of repression made it impossible for Captain Zhang to move.
However, strangely enough, at this critical moment of life and death, he showed no fear at all.
On the contrary, the eyes were filled with a glimpse of hope.
“Hmph, don’t expect anyone to come and save you!”
A flash of killing intent in the man in black’s eyes, the speed of his descending palm suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to fall on Captain Zhang’s forehead.
But at the very next moment…
“Pfft!”
In the silent night, a saber light whisked by. With a soft sound, the man in black’s arm was severed at the shoulder. Blood sprayed out violently.
Before his brain could register the pain, the sound of the blade entering the body rang again.
Following the sound, the man in black, with the last bit of energy, looked sideways, only to see a young man in white clothes with a handsome face, his eyes looking at him with a hint of coldness.
With shock and fear, his body finally lost its strength and heavily fell to the ground..
