Free Web NovelChapter 235: Chapter 234: The True Powerhouse
Seeing everyone subconsciously retreat, Tong Tian immediately barked, "People of Gaotang Country, what are you waiting for? Wen Qingye is a spent force! Now’s your chance!"
The group from Gaotang Country looked over and saw Wen Qingye’s sword planted in the ground, his entire body leaning on it for support. They exchanged glances, a vicious glint appearing in each of their eyes.
"Kill!"
"Kill Wen Qingye!"
The seven young geniuses of Gaotang Country all charged toward Wen Qingye. Most of them were at the Refining Spirit Fourth Layer, with only a few having a cultivation of the Refining Spirit Fifth Layer Heaven.
"Wen Qingye, I told you I would kill you!" At that moment, Tong Tian also rushed forward, following the tide of people from Gaotang Country.
It wasn’t just him; the group from Divine Wind Country also swarmed forward, each one looking fierce and malevolent. Their eyes held endless killing intent, as if vowing not to rest until Wen Qingye was dead.
Watching the crowd surge forward, the onlookers couldn’t help but feel their hearts tighten, and they sighed inwardly.
Wen Qingye felt a sense of helplessness. His breathing hadn’t yet recovered. ’If all of them swarm me at once, this will be bad.’
BOOM!
A vast black shadow appeared mid-air, its aura almost nonexistent, as if it could dissipate at any moment. The black shadow threw a punch, blasting it toward the charging crowd.
Ripples spread through the air, layer by layer. The air vibrated and seemed to twist and distort.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The crowd hastily used their Martial Arts to block the force of the punch. A series of rumbles reverberated in their hearts before fading away.
Tong Tian recognized the newcomer and couldn’t help but sneer, "Guann Xuan, you’re as good as caught yourself, and you still want to save Wen Qingye?"
Guann Xuan’s face was pale, but his eyes still held a divine light. His clothes were tattered, revealing a blood-stained body. "Looks like it’ll be a bit difficult for us to walk out of here today."
Wen Qingye said nothing, his eyes sweeping over the crowd before him as he gave a faint smile.
Lin Zijun walked over, his expression impassive. He looked at Wen Qingye and said, "Wen Qingye, you can still manage a smile right now. I have to say, you’re quite a character. You’ve got guts."
"Hahahaha!" Hearing Lin Zijun’s words, Guann Xuan threw his head back and roared with laughter. "Are you afraid of death?"
"I’m afraid of death, but these people aren’t enough to kill me today!" As Wen Qingye finished speaking, he moved like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Guann Xuan.
Wen Qingye’s sword spun. His footwork was light and nimble, and the aura behind him was vast and desolate. It was as if Wen Qingye was standing firm on the surface of a boundless ocean; as he stepped forward and turned, the blue-green divine light from the sword in his hand became the center of the entire sea.
"Fourth Form of Four Symbols Sword Technique! Windbreak!"
Wen Qingye swung his sword, and the razor-sharp aura of the One Thought Sword erupted forth.
The Sword Qi moved like lightning, as swift as a fleeting shadow!
SHUK! SHUK! SHUK! SHUK!
The people from Gaotang Country and Divine Wind Country couldn’t react in time before a wave of Sword Qi, wrapped in endless sharpness, had already slashed toward them.
Bright, beautiful blood danced in the air like fresh flowers, captivatingly lovely. Besides the brilliant blood, severed limbs also flew, drifting through the air together.
Of the dozens of people, more than half were slain by Wen Qingye’s single sword strike!
"Who else wants to kill me?" Wen Qingye panted heavily, his eyes fixed on the people of the ten countries as a supreme aura emanated from him, from the inside out.
Tong Tian stared at Wen Qingye, his eyes wide, revealing a trace of terror.
Even Guann Xuan looked at Wen Qingye in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Overwhelmed by Wen Qingye’s aura, Lin Zijun took a small step back and said in alarm, "This Wen Qingye..."
"This won’t do. We must kill Wen Qingye as soon as possible. Any delay could bring unforeseen trouble," Wenren Xiao said, the corners of his mouth curling into a slight smile, but his tone was extremely cold. His eyes, like those of a viper, were fixed on Wen Qingye and Guann Xuan.
Lin Zijun nodded, agreeing completely in his heart.
.......
Guann Xuan struggled to straighten up. Looking at Wen Qingye’s back, his resolve suddenly hardened. He shouted, "Anyone who wants to kill me, I’m ready for you!"
"Fine, then I’ll grant you your wish!" Wenren Xiao strode forward, then leaped into the air and charged directly at Guann Xuan.
At this moment, Guann Xuan was truly a spent force, his entire body grievously wounded. Wenren Xiao’s punch blasted forward, fast as lightning. Although Wen Qingye reacted, he was half a beat too slow. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
BANG!
Wenren Xiao’s fist struck Guann Xuan’s chest. Guann Xuan’s whole body froze as the immense Primordial Qi seemed to pass right through him.
The Primordial Qi billowed forth. A pavilion behind Guann Xuan was instantly shattered by the excess Primordial Qi overflowing from his back, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere.
KOFF!
Guann Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood. His body slumped to the side, and he leaned against the shattered wood, barely managing to stay on his feet.
"Wenren Xiao, you’re courting death!"
Rage flared in Wen Qingye’s heart. He swung his sword fiercely, and a vast wave of Primordial Qi surged forward.
"Hmph!" Wenren Xiao snorted coldly. The Primordial Qi around him churned, forming ripples. The sheer force of these rippling waves of Primordial Qi directly crushed Wen Qingye’s Sword Qi.
Wen Qingye saw this. His expression remained unchanged, but his heart grew heavy.
Wenren Xiao’s cultivation was at the Refining Spirit Eighth Layer Heaven, and his strength was still at its peak. Meanwhile, the saber wound on Wen Qingye’s chest was still bleeding nonstop. How could he possibly be Wenren Xiao’s opponent?
Wen Qingye took out several Snow Lotus Petals from his Sumeru Ring and swallowed them directly.
Guann Xuan staggered to Wen Qingye’s side, blood streaming from his mouth. "I... can... still..."
Wen Qingye took a deep breath, nodded, and said nothing.
Wen Qingye tightened his grip on his sword. By now, people from the various countries had surrounded them, with only the groups from Hua Country and Snow Country watching from a distance.
Yann Chuxue picked up her sword and walked toward Wen Qingye. Her steps were light and steady, her cold eyes as calm as a tranquil sea.
"Hahahaha!"
Wen Qingye suddenly threw his head back and laughed. The aura around him exploded, and he spun around rapidly. The sword in his hand carried a sharp Sword Force, its cyan light shining brilliantly.
"Danger!"
"Not good, retreat!"
"The Burning Yuan Secret Technique! That sword strike, it’s that sword strike again!"
Seeing the cyan light flash as Wen Qingye raised his hand, the crowd was reminded of the earlier scene of blood blossoming and bodies littering the ground. Every one of them turned pale with fright and scrambled backward.
Among them were many experts at the Peak of Refining Spirit Sixth Layer Heaven. If they engaged in a prolonged battle, not even a peak-condition Guann Xuan could last long, let alone the current Wen Qingye. But at this moment, with the Exotic Treasure on their minds, they were all hesitant and overly cautious.
Although they were numerous and powerful, each had their own agenda.
Even Wenren Xiao and Lin Zijun retreated several steps.
Suddenly, Wenren Xiao caught a glimpse of a black shadow flickering through a gap.
Wenren Xiao’s eyes turned crimson as he roared, "Not good! Wen Qingye is trying to escape! Stop him! Or the consequences will be endless!"
The ones closest to Wen Qingye were a few experts from Sang Country. Hearing Wenren Xiao’s words, they immediately rushed forward.
"Die!"
Having just consumed the Snow Lotus, Wen Qingye had recovered some of his Primordial Qi. He swung his sword fiercely, and an exceptionally sharp Sword Aura shot out from it.
BOOM!
The few from Sang Country saw this and were horrified. Intimidated by his power, they hastily retreated. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
But among the various countries, there were some bold and valiant experts. Seeing that Wen Qingye intended to escape with Guann Xuan, they struck as fast as lightning, no longer holding anything back.
"Hidden Blade Sword Technique!"
"Feather Palm!"
For a moment, Wen Qingye was overwhelmed, like two fists against four hands. He crossed his palms, gathered Primordial Qi in them, and then met the oncoming expert from Chil Kingdom with a palm strike of his own.
BANG!
After the two palms collided, a sonic boom erupted, and the body of the Chil Kingdom expert was sent flying backward.
SHK!
Wen Qingye heard the sound of a blade piercing flesh and bone behind him. A short sword had been plunged directly into Guann Xuan’s abdomen. Blood slowly trickled from the corner of Guann Xuan’s mouth, his eyes becoming vacant and lifeless.
"GET LOST!"
Wen Qingye swung his sword in a backhand strike. The attacker naturally didn’t dare to face his Sword Aura and immediately leaped away, fleeing into the distance.
A true expert is not one who can annihilate all opponents with a single strike, but one who can maintain a calm heart under any circumstances. Even at the moment of life and death, they can remain calm and make the best decision.
True strength lies not in one’s power, but in one’s heart!
For a moment, no one around Wen Qingye dared to step forward again.
Half-carrying Guann Xuan with one arm, Wen Qingye leaped up, and the two of them vanished from everyone’s sight.
