However, how could Pei Xuanjing let the two others have their way with the hard-earned opportunity of landing a blow at the expense of getting himself injured?

With a twist of his wrist, his long sword blocked the swords of the two men.

His left hand struck out with a force that could flatten mountains.

Giant Spirit Surpasses Mountains!

Boom!

It was like a thunderbolt shaking the ground.

In an instant, the power that could overturn rivers and seas heavily hit Bei Wenxuan. His True Qi and Blood Qi were scattered disorderly.

His clothes and armor were torn to shreds and flung in all directions.

The enormous power shattered his muscles, skin, and bones, shifted his organs; all happened in a mere moment as this force transmitted throughout his body.

“Ah!”

Bei Wenxuan let out an anguished roar as the enormous power forced half of his body to sink into the ground.

However, the whole life force of a first-grade martial artist could still keep him alive in a short time, only to suffer in agony.

The sound of cracking bones echoed from his body. Splinters of shattered bones pierced through his skin, carrying a thick blood that spurted out like mercury.

A scene filled with blood, violence, and ruthlessness.

Even Wang Zhi and Ding Yulong, who were used to life and death, couldn’t help but change color at this sight.

Looking at Bei Wenxuan who continually let out dreadful cries, the two could not help but empathize.

The Brocade Guards in the distance, watching their once supreme and arrogant leader being reduced to such a state, could not help but shiver, their backs drenched in cold sweat.

Pei Xuanjing let out a cold laugh, showing no mercy, the Shenxiao Sword swung, and Bei Wenxuan’s head went flying.

He turned around and looked coldly at the other two. However, before he could continue to deal with them, he heard manic vibrations and clamoring from a distance.

“Hurry, don’t let the criminal escape.”

“The Metropolitan Commander has decreed that those who kill the criminal will be promoted and rewarded with a hundred tael.”

Pei Xuanjing knew that the soldiers from the guardhouse were coming, and he couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

He was indeed injured, but he was still completely capable of killing these two.

However, the arrival of the guards from the guardhouse left him with no more time to continue fighting.

Even if he managed to kill these two, he would likely be completely surrounded, with no chance of escape.

“I’ll spare your lives for now, but I’ll come for them another day!” Pei Xuanjing gave the two a penetrating look and said coldly.

Having said that, he grabbed the sheath of the Shenxiao Sword, sheathed it, and stomped the ground with both feet. He then leaped into the air, landed on a roof tens of feet away, and ran towards the city outskirts.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing leave, the two men did not harbor any thoughts of pursuing him.

Pei Xuanjing’s threats were still ringing in their ears.

“The criminal is there, shoot!”

“Don’t let him escape, chase him!”

As soon as the Metropolitan Commander of Xuanfu arrived, he saw Pei Xuanjing leaping away and immediately ordered his men to shoot arrows in pursuit.

Unfortunately, Pei Xuanjing was already too far away, and even though a rain of arrows shot out, they couldn’t bring any harm to him. Hedidn’t even draw his sword, but just swung his sleeve and shot down the arrows.

“Once he leaves, like a fierce tiger escaping to the jungle or a dragon to the sea, it will be difficult to restrain him. I’m afraid we’ll have great trouble in the future!” Wang Zhi’s face was full of concern.

Wang Zhi, who had lived for more than ’60 years’ , believed he had seen enough to be moved by very few people or events.

However, today, within a short period, he was utterly shocked by what he had experienced.

Everything Pei Xuanjing did surpassed his expectations.

First, he openly declared his disregard for the emperor.

Then, under the protection of numerous experts, he killed a commander of the Brocade Guards.

Last, he faced the siege of three first-grade martial artists as a mere second-grade martial artist, killed one, and left with ease.

Ruthless, decisive, obstinate, brave, fierce…

For a moment, Wang Zhi didn’t know how to describe him.

All he was sure of, was that once Pei Xuanjing left Xuanfu City, the Great Ming imperial court wouldn’t be able to control him anymore.

“This man will be more troublesome than Mire Sect and the Underworld!” Wang Zhi thought. Indeed, the Mire Sect and the Underworld had first-grade martial artists, more than one.

But dealing with them was actually easier than dealing with Pei Xuanjing.

These people were not Ione wolves, they had cares, they had concerns, and they had to abide by certain unspoken rules.

Pei Xuanjing was different. He was a loner with hardly any followers or friends.

Once unrestricted, the havoc he would wreak would far exceed the others.

No one understood better than Wang Zhi the damage an unrestricted, free-willed, and strong person could do.

During the downfall of the Shenxiao Sect, Wang Zhi had just entered the palace and knew the secrets better than many because he hadn’t been directly involved.

He also knew something that Jiang Bin did not—although the imperial court had threatened second-grade martial artists of the Shenxiao Sect with the lives of ordinary disciples, leading to the complete extermination of first-grade martial artists.

But in the end, a second-grade martial artist escaped, broke through to the first-grade more than twenty years later, recklessly killed in revenge, and it took more than ten years for the imperial court, and three years of tracking by three first-grade experts, to bring him to justice.

That’s why he had advised the emperor today and then appeared here, intending to kill Pei Xuanjing.

However, he ended up failing.

This second-grade Pei Xuanjing, who could fight three first grade martial artists, how much would the imperial court have to pay to kill him? What if he breaks through to the first-grade?

“It seems I must request the emperor to issue a decree, calling for the pursuit and apprehension of Pei Xuanjing everywhere, and increase the reward for his capture. We cannot afford to give him another opportunity to grow stronger.” Wang Zhi instantly made up his mind.

Whoo…whoo…whoo…

The biting cold wind blew over a cave outside the border where a fire was burning.

The winter wind blew in occasionally from outside the cave, making the fire flicker. Pei Xuanjing was roasting a hare he had just caught, skinned, and cleaned over the fire.

“I didn’t expect to end up living like this.” Pei Xuanjing gave a bitter smile.

Xuanfu was indeed a strategic border outpost, when Pei Xuanjing left, he naturally chose to cross the border to avoid trouble.

At least, those soldiers wouldn’t easily chase after him across the border. After all, beyond the border was not the territory of the Great Ming, and foreign tribes lived there.

“Now that I’ve left, I hope Jiang Bin and Brother Lin are safe. Mr. Gu, although he interacts with me, holds a high position, has the support of his colleagues, and the protection of high -ranking officials, so he should be fine. I just don’t know if Pang Hong will be implicated because of this,” he thought.

However, the incident happened so suddenly; he didn’t have many options. He could only hope that Lin Qingyi would keep his promise..
