Chapter 99 Alone Against Many Enemies
99 Chapter 99 Alone Against Many Enemies
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, which was flickering with faint green light, rushed to midair, dazzlingly bright.
A hint of keenness flashed in Xi Jikui's eyes, and then he stomped his foot and charged directly toward the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
At that moment, several shadows pierced through, with two people seemingly prepared beforehand, even faster than Xi Jikui by a margin.
These two were none other than Tian Cansou and An Jing, who had been lying in wait for an opportunity.
Tian Cansou, who cultivated in leg techniques and whose cultivation was at the Earth Flower level, was fast indeed. Perhaps no one present, except for Li Fuzhou in his prime, could match him in speed, and An Jing had been biding his time.
An Jing let out a cold snort, and his hand turned the Evil Suppressing Sword forward.
"Hiss! Hiss!"
Sword Qi suddenly spat out from the blade, peerless in sharpness and ominously threatening.
Such a sharp Sword Qi!
Tian Cansou felt a stabbing pain in his heart and quickly turned his body, not daring to compete with An Jing for fear of being injured by the Sword Qi.
An Jing caught the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence and then landed lightly on the ground.
"Hand over the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence!"
Xi Jikui had missed his target and, upon landing, stared straight at the swordsman in front of him, holding the Evil Suppressing Sword.
"Sir Xi, I'm afraid I can't be of much help to you," An Jing said indifferently.
Xi Jikui, with a greedy and opportunistic look, clearly intended to seize the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence at all costs, even putting his ambition of eliminating Li Fuzhou in second place because concrete benefits were, undoubtedly, more attractive than vacant honors.
"I'll say it again, hand over the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence." A hint of coldness flitted across Xi Jikui's eyes.
At the same time, other martial arts experts also looked over, much like beasts sighting bloodied prey.
"I have important matters to attend to; I won't be staying to enjoy the moon with you all."
An Jing, alone, had now obtained the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence and naturally wasn't going to linger. He leaped, darting rapidly into the distance.
"Don't let him get away."
"He's trying to run off with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence!"
....
The many experts present changed expression at this sight.
This swordsman!
He plays no fair!
Those who had been waiting to watch the battle unfold became anxious.
After all, if An Jing ran off with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, their long efforts would be for naught.
Numerous experts rushed toward An Jing, sealing off all his paths of retreat.
"Slice!"
An Jing waved the Evil Suppressing Sword in his hand and launched an attack on Liu Qingshan, who was charging at him.
The Sword Qi struck, rolling with icy radiance. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It felt like a thorn in the back!
Even though it was just the remnants of the blade, the Evil Suppressing Sword still lived up to its reputation as the third greatest sword of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
"Not good!"
Liu Qingshan, facing the edge of the sword, immediately sensed danger, and with his Inner Strength depleted and An Jing's cultivation having risen, he hastily dodged the blade.
"Be careful of his Evil Suppressing Sword!" Guo Yuchun warned solemnly.
"Laughable."
The Evil Suppressing Sword in An Jing's hand trembled, and he swept it toward Guo Yuchun.
"Whoosh!"
Sword Qi flickered, extending three yards in length, as if even the ground was being lifted by the Sword Qi, layer by layer billowing in the air.
Rivers flow like dreams!
Guo Yuchun clenched his teeth, extended his hands, and his Qi Mechanism surged like a broad river, his body standing atop a wave several yards high, his robe flapping in the fierce wind.
Guo Yuchun was not his match to begin with, and now with the Evil Suppressing Sword, An Jing was even more formidable.
The Sword Light tore right through the surging Qi waves, and the remaining Sword Light skimmed past Guo Yuchun's neck, missing his throat by just an inch.
"Stamp! Stamp! Stare....."
Landing on the ground, Guo Yuchun's face turned deathly pale, still in great shock. He felt he had just walked through the Gates of Hell with that strike – had it been off by an inch, he might have already breathed his last.
What a terrifying Evil Suppressing Sword!
With a wave of his hand, An Jing, relying on his exquisite swordsmanship and the power of the Evil Suppressing Sword, repelled two masters, instantly sending a chill down the spines of all the experts present.
"You all didn't hold back when you were obstructing this old man earlier, but now facing that swordsman, you're like eggplants hit by frost?"
Li Fuzhou had just been through a group attack and was recuperating, but seeing An Jing about to run off with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, he couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.
Now these people besieging that peerless swordsman was exactly what he wished for. It was a perfect chance to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight; all he had to do was to make his move at the last moment and snatch away the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence.
"What a sly old fox!"
An Jing glanced at Li Fuzhou and etched this grudge in his heart.
He always felt that Li Fuzhou hadn't fully demonstrated his strength, seemingly holding back his skills, or rather, waiting for the last moment.
This inevitably gave An Jing a headache, facing so many masters, he was already at his wit's end, and there was also the covetous Li Fuzhou beside him.
"Let's attack together!"
Tian Cansou shouted loudly, sweeping his leg towards An Jing.
"Good!"
Li Yue, Ling Yuehua, Gu Renwo, Li Fuzhou, Tian Liu, and the others also rose to the occasion, fearing that if they continued to scheme against each other, they would really let the swordsman escape.
The first to rush forward were Li Yue and Gu Renwo.
Each of them wielded a saber in one hand and a sword in the other, their levels of sword and saber mastery both at the Fourth Level.
Especially Gu Renwo, with his saber technique being thick and steady, obviously having delved into the art for decades.
Saber Qi and Sword Qi crisscrossed, whirling above and below.
The Sword Qi of Ye Tai'e was extremely sharp, and it even seemed to carry a trace of sword hum, disturbing one's mind.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The Sword Qi surged like a torrential river.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
At the moment of collision between the swords, the sound of metal striking resonated, echoing in all directions, deafening and resounding.
Li Yue felt her arm go numb and saw her superior Treasure Sword had developed a nick, clearly unable to withstand the sharpness of Ye Tai'e's Sword Qi.
As Gu Renwo crossed paths with An Jing, he too was forced to take several steps back, his expression seemingly indifferent but his heart exceedingly grave.
That bone-chilling coldness went straight to the heart, and combined with the swordsman's exquisite techniques, it was truly formidable.
An Jing's footsteps stuck close to the ground as he swiftly drifted backward, leaving a long mark on the ground.
"Sir, let Li take care of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence for you."
Li Fuzhou was quick and reached An Jing in an instant, his fingers stretching out toward the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence.
"Old thing, don't even think about it!"
An Jing sneered, twirling the Evil Suppressing Sword in his hand at a remarkably clever angle, aiming straight for Li Fuzhou's eyes.
"You're quite hot-tempered, brother..."
Watching the Evil Suppressing Sword emit a terrifying Sword Light, Li Fuzhou frowned and quickly floated back.
It seemed this swordsman harbored great hostility towards him.
An Jing leapt forward, continuing to dash into the distance.
"Trying to leave?"
Tian Cansou immediately leaped up, swinging his leg viciously.
Wind Curling Scorched Leaves!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, and tornadoes started to merge from all directions.
An Jing saw the tornadoes coming and reflected a gleam of sharp light in his black pupils. Centering on him, waves of sharp and boundless Sword Qi emanated.
Nine-character Sword Technique! Zi-word Seal!
With a slash of his sword, it seemed as if the night sky itself had been cleaved open, revealing a strange, eerie seam. Then suddenly, countless Sword Lights burst from within that seam, so sharp that they seemed to pierce everyone's eyes, making the onlookers shut their eyes, unable to look directly.
Numerous Sword Lights fell from the sky, with the force of an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
This was the true power of the Evil Suppressing Sword, now in full strength in An Jing's grasp, as he wielded his sword techniques to their utmost.
Both parties unleashed their moves without any reservations, displaying the full might of true masters.
Countless Sword Lights swept across, finally colliding head-on with the incoming whirlwind, and at that moment, the earth itself shuddered.
