Chapter 70: Chapter 69: Surrender Your Life
Translator:549690339
The moon obscured, a wind blew high, the night cool as water.
Three men, armed with a knife, sword, and axe, dressed in black and concealed behind masks, stood in a quiet corner of the street, blocking a passing carriage.
The three masked men paid no heed to the young driver’s questions.
Inside the carriage, Pei Xuanjing, hearing the voice of Pang Hong, slowly opened his eyes, picked up the Flowing Flame Sword lying beside him, lifted the carriage curtain, and stepped out. In a low voice, he told Pang Hong, “Just stay in the carriage, don’t come out.”
Then, with a cold laugh, he added, “I never thought you’d pick me as your target.”
The man clad in black, with a long knife in his hand, coldly instructed, “Kill. Leave none alive. We only have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.”
As the words fell, a burst of potent Blood Qi emerged from the bodies of the three, like torches in the night, impossible to ignore.
Three third-grade martial artists, but sadly all pseudo grandmasters, not one of them truly comprehending the essence of Martial Arts.
How condescending!
Feeling the undisguised killing intent of these three, Pei Xuanjing scoffed, his right hand slowly falling onto his sword hilt.
“Unruly mob.”
Pei Xuanjing coldly spat out the words, and with a stomp, stones shattered and flew under his feet.
Boom!
Like thunder on a calm plain!
His Blood Qi surged, his Blood Qi Wolf Smoke flared, a vivid display of his profound strength.
The street within dozens of yards of him as the center was cracked into countless sections.
Simultaneously, the Flowing Flame Sword in his hand was drawn, and with the fleetness of a released arrow, he crossed a distance of over ten yards.
His Flowing Flame Sword slashed in mid-air, like a ghostly illusion.
Directly targeting the three men.
Splash!
The Thousand Refinement Divine Weapon readily sliced the sword of one man in two, and with the reinforcement of his physical strength, Pei Xuanjing’s sword thrust was unimpeded, like slashing through thin paper.
With a swipe of the Flowing Flame Sword, the fierce sword qi left a trail of several tens of yards long on the street’s stone pavement.
Thud!
The man with the sword was beheaded by Pei Xuanjing in one stroke, his head flew high into the sky, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He didn’t understand why his opponent was so powerful.
Even if he was a pseudo grandmaster, the gap between them shouldn’t be so vast.
Unfortunately, no one would care about the thoughts of a dead man.
Three men failed to surround and kill him, and in just one move, one was killed.
Sending a chill down the spines of the initially fierce killers.
“Big brother!” The remaining two men, eyes protruding in anger, roared in fury.
They had supported each other until today, even though they were only pseudo grandmasters, they were still considered accomplished in their own right.
They had not expected to lose one of their own in such a simple mission today, and at just the first exchange of blows, their eldest brother was slain.
“Come and die!” The black-robed man wielding the mountain axe was enraged, once again swung the giant axe towards Pei Xuanjing.
Enraged, his move carried the force of splitting a mountain, bringing a whooshing wind with it.
An ordinary third-grade martial artist, and even some second-class ones, would probably avoid its sharp edge.
But Pei Xuanjing was different. To him, the mighty power of this black-robed man was nothing more than mediocre, at most bordering on the power of the Five Elements, much weaker than his own physical strength.
Faced with this axe, Pei Xuanjing didn’t evade a bit, and he directly confronted it with a deft change of his sword move.
“Hmm, seeking death!” The black-robed man wielding the long knife scoffed, holding Pei Xuanjing’s large gesture in contempt.
His third brother had the strength of God, and he had practiced hard-tempering skills, and his mighty strength was far superior to the martial artists of the same realm. Many second-class martial artists had to avoid his might based solely on the strength he wielded.
However, even so, the man with the long knife in his hand hadn’t halted his motion, he repositioned himself behind Pei Xuanjing and was hacking down at his back with his long knife.
The two attacked at once, trying to trap Pei Xuanjing between them.
But Pei Xuanjing wasn’t afraid, he was serene, his sword stance remained unchanged, his left wrist twisted, and his palm hacked out.
Giant Spirit Surpasses Mountains!
This was a palm method from the “Giant Spirit Suppressing Mountain Skill” he had borrowed previously. Pei Xuanjing had discarded the rest of the moves, only learning this one.
Bang!
With a palm strike, it seemed as if the Heaven and Earth were turned upside down, like holding a mountain under his control.
Crack!
The loud noise of metal against metal resonated. The collision between the giant axe and the long sword produced a thunderous noise and sparked countless sparks.
Pei Xuanjing’s power of the Seven Elements, under the support of his Blood Qi, was almost twice the strength of his opponent.
The man with the giant axe was forced to retreat from this powerful force, with every backward step blasting the stones under his feet apart, caused by the dissipation of his force.
Although the huge force gave his arms a numbing shock, and his tiger’s mouth, the area where his hands gripped the axe, was shattered, and streaks of blood seeped out.
The other black-robed man who tried to sneak attack on Pei Xuanjing was not as lucky. Pei Xuanjing’s palm strike not only took him by surprise but also struck first.
He was helpless to dodge, and was struck on the chest by Pei Xuanjing, spitting out several mouthfuls of fresh blood. He flew backward like a broken kite.
“This man is fierce, we can’t fight him with brute force! Third junior brother, quick, run!” The man with the knife said, struggling to get up, shouting at the man with the axe.
Then without waiting for an answer, he swallowed a pill from his pocket; his face flushed immediately, and his Blood Qi boiled even more.
The moment Pei Xuanjing saw it, he knew that this was some Forbidden Elixir the opponent had taken.
This kind of elixir can temporarily enhance strength, but the price paid often makes many people find it unbearable. The lighter ones have damaged foundations, and the severe ones, even if they are alive, lose all their skills.
“Go quickly!” The man roared.
“Second brother!” The black-robed man with the axe saw this, his eyes turned red.
A resolute look was in his eyes, he glared at Pei Xuanjing as if to imprint his image into his mind, and then turned and ran without hesitation.
Of course, Pei Xuanjing didn’t plan to let him escape, and he was getting ready to pursue.
“Pei Xuanjing, revenge for my elder brother!” The man with the knife jumped up, his knife swinging again, coming once again towards Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing sneered, was this the man’s attempt to sacrifice his life to buy time for his other brother to escape?
What a laudable display of brotherly love!
Did you know that you guys are making me out to be the villain?
Ha! To fulfill your brotherly love, let me play the villain, and send you both on your way. You’ll have each other’s company on the path to the underworld.
The man’s sharp blade, the light of the knife, cut through the air.
At this moment, the moon was obscured by dark clouds, a sudden gust of wind blew, making Pei Xuanjing’s clothes blow with a rustling sound, fluttering in the wind.
Facing this thrust, Pei Xuanjing had a smile on his face, and his Flowing Flame Sword gently waved.
A plain, ordinary sword move.
Clang!
The long knife fell, a thin line of blood appeared on the throat of the black-robed man, the regret in his eyes so thick, and then fell heavily to the ground..
