Killing God - Chapter 182

Chapter 182 Black Sword
Talisman?

Five Elements Technique?

The two short words and one sentence instantly caused Geng Cheng and the others, who were standing at the side and were slightly surprised by Nangong Ying’s sudden attack, to immediately change their expressions. Almost at the same time, they remembered the remnants of the spells that had been intentionally disposed of in the depths of the Gray Lizard Forest that day.

Obviously, if there was a fight before Qian Yi died, Then someone must have used the Five Elements Technique, and the possibility that this person was the murderer was extremely high. Although there was still a big doubt in the hearts of the few of them about how the Five Elements Technique of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator could harm an Origin Condensation Realm cultivator, at this moment, it was obviously not the time to carefully consider this question.

Suddenly, the wind blew, and figures flashed. Geng Cheng and the others immediately wrapped themselves from the surroundings, forming a faint encirclement. Among them, Ding He directly rushed to the entrance of the restaurant, blocking Shen Shi’s path of retreat.

On the other hand, Nangong Ying looked coldly at Shen Shi. Her expression was light but her aura was extremely sharp. She said word by word,

“But you killed Qian Yi?”

Shen Shi’s right hand slowly clenched into a fist. The water archery talisman was gradually crushed into a ball by him and curled up in his palm. At this moment, he felt as if his heart was really going to sink to the bottom of the valley. The four people around him were all disciples whose cultivation far surpassed his own. Among them, Nangong Ying was even more unfathomable. If it wasn’t for her stopping earlier, she would have killed him with that sword strike. There was no chance of retaliating at all.

However, how could he admit this crime? Shen Shi looked around and saw Geng Cheng and the others’ cold and menacing gazes. If it was something that could be easily understood, how could they make such a big move?

As matters stood, Shen Shi could only clench his teeth and shake his head, “No, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Nangong Ying glanced at him indifferently and slowly withdrew her sword. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes. Now, all sorts of clues were clearly pointing at this person. With her state of mind and temperament, killing someone who didn’t dare to admit it was really useless. For a moment, she was even somewhat disdainful of being entangled with this person.

She did not speak anymore, but Geng Cheng and the others beside her were unyielding. After all, Qian Yi, who had died, was also a disciple of the Mysterious Sword Sect. He had died in the Grey Lizard Forest for no reason, so he definitely could not end it here. Therefore, Nangong Ying put away her sword and stopped talking. However, Geng Cheng brought Fu Jun and Ding He over. At the same time, he sneered and said, “Little bold thief, don’t surrender and be captured!”

Shen Shi took a step back, his face slightly pale. He said in a deep voice, “Just because I know the Five Elements Technique, do you all insist that I killed Qian Yi? How many rogue cultivators in Broken Moon City and how many people know the technique? Why don’t you ask them?”

Geng Cheng and the others paused for a moment, then sneered, “You and Qian Yi were the only ones in the Grey Lizard Forest that day. Who else could it be if it wasn’t you?”

Shen Shi felt a chill down his spine, as if his back had been soaked in cold sweat. However, his face still shouted, “Did any of you see me kill him? I told you that I left there afterwards. Why don’t you believe me? Also, do you really think that I, a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, can kill him?”

He asked, Geng Cheng and the others were momentarily speechless. After all, from beginning to end, even though they had found some clues, they really had to carefully consider it. They believed that the most important thing for Shen Shi to be the murderer was that they had inferred the heart of the murderer. There was no concrete evidence. This time, Shen Shi looked at them angrily and desperately and asked them a few questions. They immediately began to hesitate.

In fact, It was precisely in Shen Shi’s last sentence that he said, Logically speaking, It was almost impossible for a Qi Refining Realm cultivator to kill an Origin Condensation Realm cultivator. This was almost universally acknowledged common sense in the cultivation world. After all, one was an ordinary person who was only slightly stronger than mortals, while the other was a cultivator who had truly stepped onto the Grand Dao of Immortal Cultivation and was able to grasp various Dao Arts and Divine Abilities of Spiritual Qi. The difference between the two could be said to be extremely different.

Even if it was Geng Cheng and the others, they still didn’t believe that Shen Shi could kill Qian Yi.

However, just as they were hesitating, Nangong Ying, who was standing behind them, suddenly said indifferently, “If he can’t be killed by himself, then doesn’t he have any companions?”

Geng Cheng, Fu Jun, and Ding He instantly came to their senses. Then, Geng Cheng sneered and said, “Stop rambling around. Follow us back to the sect now. When we get there, we will naturally have the means to make you spit out the truth.”

Seeing that the three of them had once again forced themselves over, Shen Shi gritted his teeth and said, “You, aren’t you being unreasonable?”

Behind him, Ding He laughed as he forced himself over, “Reason, what reason do I have for you? Our cultivation is higher than yours, our cultivation is deeper than yours, and our strength is much stronger than yours. Is there a need to reason with you?”

Shen Shi only felt that he was in a desperate situation and helpless. He was at a loss as to what to do. He thought to himself, “It took three years of hard work to return from the Demon Realm. Could it be that even the sect would die here if they couldn’t return?” In despair, he tightened his grip on the talisman. No matter what, he couldn’t really surrender. At the same time, he struggled and said,

“Don’t forget, I’m from the Soaring Firmament Sect …”

“Screw your High Firmament Sect!” With a shout, the impatient Geng Cheng interrupted Shen Shi’s words with a sneer. “What else do you want to do after killing our Profound Sword Sect’s people? Let alone whether the Ling Xiao Sect recognizes you or not, what is a Qi Refining Realm cultivator like you to be in the Ling Xiao Sect? Do you still want to leave after killing someone?”

As his voice fell, he had already arrived in front of Shen Shi. He stretched out and grabbed Shen Shi’s chest.

The Origin Condensation Realm cultivator made a serious move. Since his might was different from that of an ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivator, he instantly arrived in front of Shen Shi. Shen Shi was actually unable to avoid it. Even though he was holding a talisman in his hand, he was still firmly locked onto his right hand before he could activate it. He was unable to release any spells. In a short moment, he was enveloped by Geng Cheng’s palm and grabbed onto his chest.

The huge difference in strength between an Origin Condensation Realm cultivator and a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Shen Shi had practically no strength to retaliate when the opponent attacked first and paid attention to the fact that he had used a talisman to guard against it. He was about to be captured by Geng Cheng with a single move.

A trace of despair flashed through Shen Shi’s heart. On Geng Cheng’s face, it seemed as if he was breathing a sigh of relief. He thought in his heart that he would be able to give an explanation to the sect. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a laugh suddenly came from an unknown place in the distance. Then, a strange cry suddenly came from the front with a bit of panic. Nangong Ying, who was standing behind, suddenly raised her head. In front of Geng Cheng, a black shadow suddenly appeared and directly pounced towards his face.

Geng Cheng was shocked. He let go of his hand and took two steps back. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to defend himself. However, a moment later, he saw his junior apprentice-brother Ding He flying over. He was stunned and angrily said, “Ding He, what are you doing?”

Halfway through his words, Geng Cheng realized that something was wrong. Ding He felt as if he had been thrown over by someone. He had no self-control at all. He smashed in front of him and found that it was him. Geng Cheng naturally couldn’t resist any longer. Otherwise, he would be afraid of injuring Ding He. He could only shout loudly and catch Ding He with both of his hands.

However, Ding He cried out in alarm. His body smashed over, and an unstoppable force surged over. With Geng Cheng’s Origin Condensation Realm cultivation, he actually took seven steps back and involuntarily retreated from Shen Shi.

The matter started in a hurry. Before Geng Cheng and the others, including Shen Shi, could understand what had happened, Nangong Ying suddenly let out a light shout and her figure flashed. The Qian Yi Spirit Sword in her hand lit up again and stabbed towards Shen Shi. In an instant, the sword light filled the sky and swept over like mountains and seas.

Before the sword light arrived, the sword intent had already arrived. Shen Shi felt his entire body turn cold. He was actually unable to move at all, Just as he was about to be drowned by this sword shadow, Suddenly, a loud explosion resembled the thunder of the nine heavens falling into the mortal world. The heavens trembled and the earth split apart. The winds and clouds surged in all directions. At this moment, the entire Three Springs Pavilion was trembling. An incomparably thick black figure descended from midair and landed right in front of Shen Shi, blocking the incomparably sharp sword shadow that covered the sky for him.

It was actually a huge black sword. After landing, it directly pierced into the thick and hard ground, instantly crushing a few large stones. This was the largest sword that Shen Shi had ever seen in his life. The giant sword had a sheath, and its entire body was black. It shone with a hard, cold, and rough luster like cast iron. It was actually about one head taller than his body and almost nine feet long. It was hard to imagine who would be able to swing this giant sword.

When the giant black sword blocked in front of Shen Shi, the broad sword body was not unsheathed, but it was already like an incomparably thick iron wall protecting Shen Shi. Immediately, it allowed him to avoid Nangong Ying’s sword momentum, and he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the overwhelming Spiritual Energy sword light in front of him pierced into the giant black sword.

“Knock knock knock knock knock knock …”

A strange and ear-piercing voice instantly sounded. It was like a downpour of rain and a blacksmith crazily blacksmithing. The sound echoed in the ears of everyone present, and there was a suffocating power. However, under the attack of Nangong Ying’s storm-like sword light, the giant black sword actually didn’t move at all, blocking all of the attacks. It was towering like a mountain, not to mention that in the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside the giant sword, similarly blocking in front of Shen Shi.

Shen Shi looked blankly. At first glance, his eyes suddenly lit up. It was as if he saw a reflection of light. However, he discovered that the person in front of him hadn’t seen clearly what he looked like, but he saw an incomparably bright bald head first …

However, in the blink of an eye, The bald man in front of him seemed to wave his hand, The sword shadow suddenly condensed and instantly dissipated. Following which, a soft shout came from Nangong Ying. However, it carried a hint of shock. The spirit sword left behind by Qian Yi in her hand, which was even more powerful than her previous owner’s, was suddenly smashed into pieces by the huge force. It was actually snapped into two pieces with a snap.

The expressions of Geng Cheng and the others changed. Their faces revealed shock. Only Nangong Ying was not in a state of chaos. Not only did she not show any signs of fear, the fighting intent in her eyes instantly rose. A clear howl rushed out from her body. It was as light and melodious as a crane dancing in the nine heavens. At the same time, a brighter and brighter sword light lit up from her hand once again.

There were no sword shadows in the sky. There was only an Autumn Water Sword. It looked like its aura wasn’t as strong as before, but its sword intent had more than doubled. The entire restaurant began to tremble again. It was as if it was starting to feel a little overwhelmed by the power of the icy cold sword intent. A pure white sword light that was only a foot long condensed out. Not only did the wooden beams and windows tremble non-stop, even the ground beneath everyone’s feet began to crack.

What kind of might was this!

What kind of divine ability was this?

At this moment, Shen Shi was dazzled. There was only one thought left in his heart. Heavenly Sword Palace was ranked among the four righteous sects. There was truly something extraordinary about it. The Dao Art was heavenly, and there was no falsehood in it.

Seeing that there was only a ray of white sword light in the air, the bald man who had been easily blocking in front of Shen Shi was suddenly stunned, as if he had frowned. Shen Shi looked from the side at this moment. Only then did he realize that this man was actually quite handsome. There was a faint surge of intent between his eyebrows. It was as if he was born with an unruly temperament. However, for some reason, the bald head above his head was extremely shiny. However, for no reason at all, it added a little strange and funny, diluting the original feeling of being arrogant and domineering.

However, his frown this time was still very natural, very handsome, very handsome.

Then, the bald man frowned slightly and said, “Tianjian Palace, Blue River Sword Style?”

In mid-air, that foot long sword light suddenly exploded, blooming like flowers, shattering like stars, dissipating like fireworks, surging like spring water. A vast azure river suddenly appeared, rushing down out of thin air, billowing waves flying towards the bald man.

Every drop of water was a sword.

The sword was everywhere, and its sword intent had reached its peak.

In the next moment, ten thousand swords pierced through his heart.

The bald man’s pupils shrank slightly and his expression turned slightly cold. He suddenly raised his right hand and did not see how he moved. However, the enormous black sword that seemed to stand upright in the sky suddenly arrived in his hand. It was hard to imagine how a giant sword that was taller and longer than a human could be used. However, at this moment, everyone present saw it.

The giant black sword was still in his hands, but the entire sword was still in his hands. It was as if it was brandishing an incomparably large black rod. In a naked, even unreasonable, and extremely rough manner, it directly smashed towards the surging Azure River.

“Boom!”

The terrifying sound seemed to shake the soul. The surging Spiritual Energy exploded with a terrifying intense and crazy tremor within an inch. The Azure River collided with the giant black sword and instantly flew back.

The giant black sword actually didn’t retreat at all. It continued to drive straight up. In the middle of the sky, Nangong Ying snorted coldly from the depths of the azure light. Her figure flew backwards. The black figure rumbled as if it was ten times bigger in an instant. It was about to destroy the heavens and the earth. It directly rolled together the remnants of the azure river and charged forward.

“Boom!”

It was as if the heavens and earth had just opened, shaking the entire world. A black sword cut through everything. The wooden wall collapsed, and smoke and dust scattered. Only the black sword image soared into the sky, shattering everything. A large Three Springs Restaurant collapsed from the break and was shocked by the tremors.

Under the light of the sky, the sword shadow scattered. Everyone was shocked. The might of this sword strike was unbelievable. In the dust, the giant sword once again stabbed into the ground that was already shattered. The bald man’s expression remained calm as he stood in front of Shen Shi.

Like a wall.

Unbreakable.

In front of them, Xuanjian Sect and the others’ faces were pale. Even with their Origin Condensation Realm strength and horizons, they had never seen such a terrifying Dao Art of Sword Force before. In midair, Nangong Ying slowly descended. At this moment, her face was slightly pale, and there were faint red marks on the corners of her mouth. It seemed that she had suffered some hidden injuries in the previous battle.

However, at this moment, she was staring at the bald man in front of Shen Shi. Her expression was unprecedentedly solemn. Her bright eyes looked at the man and finally landed on the giant black sword.

“Heaven Splitting Devil Sword! You are …”

The man turned around and looked at Shen Shi. He smiled. Her smile was handsome and gentle. Then, he turned around and faced the people in front of him. He reached out and touched his bald head. He laughed heartily. He was filled with high spirits, as if he didn’t care about anything. He didn’t put anything in his eyes. Even though there was a famous Profound Sword Sect and a disciple from Tianjian Palace, he was still as unruly as ever. He held the giant sword in his hand and smiled faintly.

“My surname is Du, Du Tiejian.”
