Chapter 161: Sharp Blade Unsheathed (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Among Cheng Tianhao’s four hand guards, only Xiao Shi did not do anything. The other three hand guards turned around and attacked Cheng Tianhao at the first moment!

“You guys…” Cheng Tianhao’s expression was extremely ugly. However, he had expected to face such a situation. He immediately attacked to block.

The others suffered the same fate. It was even worse than Cheng Tianhao. After all, Cheng Tianhao was only besieged by three hand guards. The others were all surrounded by four hand guards.

Due to the attraction brought about by the Shadow Comprehension Talisman, these hand guards all chose to join Wei Chen’s camp.

Wei Chen grinned. Everything was as he had planned. While the others were surrounded, he moved. He took the lead and ran along the road.

The four hand guards beside him rushed towards Cheng Tianhao and the other three and joined the battle, preventing them from chasing. This made Wei Chen, who was the last to arrive, the first to rush forward on this path. The others were trapped in place.

Xiao Shi watched this scene silently. Even he did not expect the development of the situation. Still, this did not affect him much. Anyway, it was in his plan. These people were just his prey.

However, Xiao Shi had yet to attack.

When Wei Chen’s hand guard, who had rushed over from afar, saw that he had not changed sides like the other hand guards, a sharp glint immediately flashed in his eyes. The broad-bladed heavy sword in his hand whistled as it slashed down at Xiao Shi.

A sharp sound tore through the air. This person already had a cultivation at the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm. Under the eruption of his Qi Force, the sword strike was extremely shocking. It tore through the air.

Moreover, the hundred Qi vortexes he activated were all special Qi vortexes. They were far from what the ordinary Qi Martial Realm martial artists Xiao Shi had faced in the past could compare to.

Boom!

Boundless sword qi shone dazzlingly. It was shocking. It quickly slashed at Xiao Shi. However, the moment the entire sword qi slashed down,

Swoosh!

Under Xiao Shi, a black branch that was hard to see with the naked eye suddenly rose from the ground. The black branch carried a lot of Lunar Qi Force and instantly collided with the sword Qi.

Boom!!

Under the terrifying explosion, the surrounding airflow exploded.

Xiao Shi had only activated 99 Lunar Qi vortexes; he was still short of the last one. However, among his 99 Lunar Qi vortexes, more than 30 had already reached their limits. This made his Lunar Qi Force not weaker than this Major Perfection Qi Martial cultivator in front of him.

The entire sword qi was instantly dispersed by the black branch.

Wei Chen’s hand guard was filled with surprise. He did not expect that this hand guard, which appeared to be only at the mid-stage Qi Martial Realm, could actually withstand his slash.

At the same time, an incomparably strong sense of danger arose from all directions. Although he could not see it clearly with his naked eye, he could clearly sense it. He immediately raised the broad-bladed heavy sword in his hand to block.

Boom!

Many branches that rose from the ground lashed at the broad-bladed heavy sword he blocked. The terrifying power directly shattered the ground under his feet. Blood seeped out of his mouth. He felt like a mountain was pressing down on him. All the flesh and bones in his body were trembling.

However, just as he raised the broad-bladed heavy sword in his hand to block the attack from the branch above, a saber beam flashed past him as fast as lightning. It was so fast that he could not react at all. It directly slashed at his body.

At the critical moment, numerous tree branches suddenly appeared from the body of the hand guard. These tree branches wrapped around his body. This caused Xiao Shi’s slash to be blocked by these tree branches.

It was the Tree Grass Protection he had obtained in the second stage. These trees and grass had extremely strong protective abilities. Even Xiao Shi’s slash could not cut through these trees and grass.

It was forcefully blocked.

Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes. He stepped forward with his right foot. The Qi Slashing Saber in his hand slashed forward again. The Invincible Saber Technique he used was endless. It was like waves, wave after wave.

This caused Wei Chen’s hand guard to not have any time to react. He had just used the tree grass to block Xiao Shi’s slash when Xiao Shi’s second slash had already whistled down.

Not only that, when Xiao Shi’s Qi Slashing Saber arrived in front of him, Xiao Shi suddenly let out a low roar in his heart. “Disperse!”

The trees and grass that surrounded Wei Chen’s body actually trembled and scattered under Xiao Shi’s low roar. Wei Chen’s eyes widened. He did not expect the trees and grass to leave his body.

Swoosh!

Without the protection of these trees and grass, his body was cut into two by Xiao Shi’s Qi Slashing Saber. Until the moment of death, his heart was filled with confusion. He really could not understand why these trees and grass suddenly scattered.

Xiao Shi glanced at the corpse. Everything was as he had expected. With his current strength, he could already kill ordinary Major Perfection Qi Martial cultivators.

His attack also attracted the attention of others.

Although many hand guards were besieging Cheng Tianhao and the others, they were only responsible for restraining Cheng Tianhao and the others so that they could not go on their way. They did not dare to really kill them.

None of their attacks had drawn blood. However, Xiao Shi’s current attack directly killed Wei Chen’s guard. This made everyone’s gazes focus on Xiao Shi. They did not expect Xiao Shi, who was only at the mid-stage Qi Martial Realm on the surface, to kill a Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator so easily!

Wei Chen’s other three hand guards’ gazes sank. Killing intent flickered in their eyes. Although they didn’t dare to kill the Echelon Contenders like Cheng Tianhao, they didn’t have such scruples against those hand guards.

Since Xiao Shi had already killed, they would not hold back anymore. Most importantly, there was still a Shadow Comprehension Talisman on the hand guard that Xiao Shi had killed!!

At this moment, Wei Chen’s three hand guards were not the only ones who were tempted. The other hand guards were also a little restless.

Xiao Shi’s cold gaze swept across the hand guards that were charging over. Since the sharp blade had been unsheathed, then there was no need to hide anymore.

It was time to kill.

His gaze swept across the hand guards that were charging over. Although there were two Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivators among them, he did not feel any pressure. After killing that Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivator just now, he already had an understanding of his strength. Now, there was no need to talk to them about martial ethics.

Xiao Shi immediately had an idea.

Boom!

Through his authority in the ancient tree, he obtained the power of the ancient tree. Waves of terrifying power instantly spread out from his body. Under this shocking power, branches and grass quickly spread out from his body and enveloped him.

Not only did these branches and grass bring protection to his body, but they also brought an extremely strong increase in strength.

A cold glint flashed across Xiao Shi’s eyes. He raised his right hand. He suddenly slapped the ground in front of him.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Immediately, many tree trunks and branches appeared from the ground. These tree trunks and branches swept towards the many hand guards that were charging over. It quickly wrapped around their bodies.

The hand guards were all shocked. Their expressions changed drastically. “What… is this!?”

These tree trunks and branches were extremely tough. Even if they struggled with all their might, it was difficult to break free. What made them even more terrified was that the Qi Force in their bodies was continuously flowing away under the entanglement of these tree branches.

Xiao Shi looked at these hand guards coldly. With his authority here, it was completely easy for him to kill them. “Kill!”

Xiao Shi waved the Qi Slashing Saber in his hand, and many saber qi immediately whistled towards these hand guards. These hand guards could not resist at all when they were wrapped by the tree trunk branches.

Pfft! Pfft!

Heads rolled down.

In a moment, Wei Chen’s hand guards had all died!
