Translator: 549690339
Each of the Red Sun Knights was handpicked, every one of them could be considered a sharpshooter capable of drawing a hard bow.
Combined with their use of Gang-breaking Arrows, their power was formidable, rendering resistance futile even to an ordinary martial artist at the
third level of Gang Qi Realm.
In the battle history of the Red Sun Knights, records showed the killing of martial artists of the third level Gang Qi Realm with a coordinated burst of arrows fired by more than a hundred knights.
Even when their initial attack was fruitless, these Red Sun Knights didn’t show the slightest sign of being disheartened.
They sheathed their arrows and drew their curved blades, charging toward Pei Xuanjing with an unstoppable force.
Normally, most cavalry soldiers would synergize better with longer weapons like spears and lances, but the Red Sun Knights were most proficient with curved blades.
The opposing forces were only a few miles apart. Once their blades clashed, things escalated rapidly to close-quarter combat.
Over a hundred men wielded their curved blades. The blades flashed with a cold gleam, giving off a chilling sharpness as they swung down at Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing scoffed. His True Qi surged, and his Innate Thunder Gang Qi operated to its full strength. At the same time, he took another swing with his sword.
He seemed to be engulfed in a purple-blue thunder glow, transforming all the endless Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth around him into thunder light, as though he was standing amidst a sea of thunder.
With a slash from Pei Xuanjing’s sword, the sword light was sharp, accompanied by Wind and Thunder.
He seemed to transform into a sword, his strike as brilliant and swift as a sword. The chilling sword aura, and the terrifying sharpness of the sword was nearly insurmountable!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Endless sword light slashed out, the sharp sword light tore through the true void, cutting open the space around it.
Splat!
The aggressively charging Red Sun Knights were taken down by a single stroke of Pei Xuanjing’s sword. Even their armor was split in half, they were sliced in two at the waist, their bodies collapsing to the ground, while their horses continued to charge forward.
The scene was gruesomely bloody, the strong smell of blood drifted for miles with the wind.
Pei Xuanjing leaped from his horse and charged at the troops of Red Sun Knights. In an instant, his figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Only glimpses of flashing sword light were seen, one after another Red Sun Knight was slain by Pei Xuanjing and fell from the horse. In merely a few breaths’ time, all of the hundred Red Sun Knights were slaughtered by Pei Xuanjing.
Huff, huff…
On the plains, the cold wind howled as before, but all eyes were focused on Pei Xuanjing.
In a split second, one man had slaughtered nearly a hundred Red Sun Knights.
Looking on from behind, Guo Yi’s face grew serious, his heart pounding wildly with overwhelming adrenaline rush.
These were the renowned Red Sun Knights!
Since its establishment, the Red Sun Knights have swept across all fronts, even warriors at the third level of martial arts have been suppressed and killed in abundance.
But Pei Xuanjing slayed them as effortlessly as if he were slaughtering dogs. He easily killed hundreds of them, how terrifying is that!
Guo Yi also understood why Mr. Min had just asked them to retreat. If the opposing party could kill more than a hundred Red Sun Knights in a flash, then the Black Cloud Knights he led would probably not fare any better.
“Is this the power of a Heavenly Rank powerhouse?” muttered Guo Yi.
Although Pei Xuanjing was still a Martial Artist at the third level of the Gang Qi
Realm, in Guo Yi’s eyes, there was no doubt that he had already become a Heavenly Rank powerhouse.
Upon seeing his squad of Crimson Sun Knights instantly knocked down by Pei Xuanjing, He Lian Qingtian furrowed his brows, coldly stating, “As expected, a halt in battles results in decline for the Crimson Sun Knights.”
In his view, although the current situation was due to Pei Xuanjing’s immense strength, it was also caused by the Crimson Sun Knights not experiencing significant battle in recent years, leading to the decline in strength. “You have greatly disappointed me!” He told the Thousand Leaders by his side.
“Please forgive us, sir!”
The Thousand Leaders hastily apologized, promising, “Please wait and see, sir!”
He Lian Qingtian remained silent, his expression icy.
The Thousand Leaders turned and commanded, “Crimson Sun Knights, charge!”
The next moment, aside from He Lian Qingtian’s personal guards, the Thousand Leaders led the Crimson Sun Knights to charge forward.
Five thousand knights spurred their horses, causing an earth-shattering uproar while even the ground shook violently.
The countless Crimson Sun Knights were like a surging wave, roaring and rushing forward, instantly forming a battle formation on the way, a sight more intimidating.
They all cultivated the same skill, stemming from the same source, now connected through the battle formation, their combined spirit was terrifying, almost on par with a Heavenly Rank powerhouse.
Pei Xuanjing completely abandoned his horse, leaped forward, with a mysteriously fast movement. All Heaven and Earth Essence Qi within three feet of him was drawn by the Innate Thunder Gang Qi and used for his own purpose.
Swinging his long sword, he left behind a sharp sword light, invisible and formless, only leaves a piercing sword Qi slicing through the void. His body quickly turned, plunging into the battle formation. Wherever his sword passed, blood splattered everywhere, with several Crimson Sun Knights being cut down.
The Crimson Sun Knights originally used the battle formation’s power to suppress the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, blocking off Heaven and Earth, preventing Heavenly Rank powerhouses from connecting with
Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, and therefore stopping their endless supply of Heavenly Earthly Force. With this suppression, they aimed to corner the heavenly rank wielder and use the endless Crimson Sun Knights to encircle and kill the opponent.
But they did not expect that Pei Xuanjing himself had an abundance of True Qi.
He had reached the peak of the Qi Realm, and accumulated 365 strands of True
This accumulation of True Qi could even sustain him without absorbing the outside Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
Additionally, his Innate Thunder Gang Qi, while capable of communicating with Heaven and Earth, was primarily used for defense and offense.
One could say that Pei Xuanjing was hardly impacted by this kind of repression, in an instant, he moved as if he were in an uninhabited territory. The Crimson Sun Knights were unable to break through the Thunder Gang Qi protecting his body.
With one hand holding his sword and slashing, killing one after another, the other hand was constantly clapping, the intense power falling on the armor. Even armor made of cold iron could not withstand the force of Pei Xuanjing.
Keep in mind, the strength of these Crimson Sun Knights, for the most part, only achieved the Inner Qi Realm. They relied on their robust physique and the battle formation to defeat their opponents.
Compared to Pei Xuanjing, however, their robust physique was far inferior.
Even though Pei Xuanjing’s physical strength is only the equivalent to the Qi Realm in this world, the intense power is more than they can resist.
The Universe Shut skill that Pei Xuanjing possess enhanced his strength, which could almost rival a warrior at the initial Gang Qi Realm.
In the battlefield, Pei Xuanjing casually roamed about, the once terrifying Crimson Sun Knights were unable to resist him. It was a shock to see.
In just a short moment, several hundred Crimson Sun Knights were knocked down by Pei Xuanjing.
The horses shrieked, faces of the surviving men were stricken with fear.
“Make way! ”
He Lian Qingtian was furious, he never expected the Crimson Sun Knights’ suppression force to be useless against Pei Xuanjing.
At this moment, he finally took action!
