Chapter 734: A Rose in the Sea of Blood!

At the edge of the square, all the chiefs of the old factions……still stood far away.

The chiefs of the old factions watched the battle with solemn expressions.

No one stepped forward half a step, and no one chose to join the fight.

They just……watched the melee in the arena from afar.

Among the old factions, people had complex eyes, each harboring their own thoughts.

They consistently maintained the stance of bystanders, letting the Divine Phoenix Group and the New Faction fight to the death.

Everyone knew that the old factions and Qin Bore's Divine Phoenix Group……had an alliance agreement long ago.

By reason, at this moment, the old factions ought to lend a hand.

But this alliance, after all……is still too fragile.

In the face of true life-and-death interests, not a single old faction boss……is willing to risk getting involved.

They would rather choose to watch from the opposite bank, seeing the two factions slaughter each other, than let their own power……fall into an irredeemable abyss.

After all, their old faction forces now keep a low profile, restrain themselves, and preserving themselves is their only thought at this moment.

The old factions' watching silently attests……to the instability of this alliance.

So-called alliance is merely a temporary compromise driven by interests.

Once their own interests are touched, these old faction alliance members will immediately distance themselves.

No one is willing to stake their entire foundation for an ally.

In the crowd, hidden assassins……continue to fire wildly.

Bullets rained down……toward Qin Bore.

The bullets' angles became increasingly tricky, trying to force her into a corner with no retreat.

Qin Bore's eyes turned cold, the killing aura around her grew even more icy; she no longer passively blocked, and a cold killing intent curled at the corner of her mouth.

Qin Bore raised the long sword in her hand sharply, without the slightest hesitation, and hurled it straight toward the direction the bullets were coming from.

The long sword……like an arrow leaving the string, brought a fierce gust, tore through the air, its speed so fast only a cold light remained! The long sword, unerringly, shot toward a hidden assassin deep in the crowd!

In the next instant,!

Only a "puchi" sound was heard!

Her long sword……straight pierced that assassin's skull!

The blade……pierced through the gunman's hindbrain, blood spurted out instantly, staining the surrounding ground red, and also splashed onto the nearby New Faction enforcer.

That gunman's pupils instantly widened, his face still retaining a fierce expression.

His body stiffened, he slowly knelt to the ground, his hands futilely gripping the long sword piercing his skull, and finally lost all breath, dying with eyes unclosed.

This scene, in an instant……plunged the entire chaotic battlefield into a brief silence.

Qin Bore's this hand of throwing knife technique, precise to the extreme, thoroughly shocked everyone present.

Whether the fighting sides or the observing old factions, all were dumbfounded, their faces full of disbelief.

The various chiefs of the old factions, their expressions changed abruptly, and huge waves surged in their hearts.

This, is the first time they truly felt how terrifying Qin Bore's martial prowess is……

Qin Bore's ruthlessness far exceeds their imagination.

They, originally, merely feared her identity as the Phoenix God.

Now, they truly feel awe rising from their hearts, and even a hint of secret fear.

And the members of the New Faction were even more frightened, trembling all over.

The people of the New Faction also, for the first time, truly saw Qin Bore's terror.

They originally thought, relying on numerical superiority, they could always take down Qin Bore.

But they only now realize that what they face is fundamentally not an ordinary jianghu big sister, but a true killing god, a being who, relying solely on their own power, can crush them all.

Seeing a companion pierced through the head by a blade, the remaining few hidden gunmen not only did not retreat, but were instead provoked into frenzy.

Several other gunmen, their eyes full of malice, continued to raise their guns aiming at Qin Bore!

The gunmen, fingers clenched tight on the trigger, bullet after bullet……kept bursting forth toward Qin Bore!

Dense bullets wove into a fire net, trying to envelop her completely, giving her no chance to dodge.

Facing the dense bullets, Qin Bore's expression remained icy, without the slightest panic, her killing aura grew even more icy!

She teleported forward, in one motion pulling the long sword from the corpse!

The next second, Qin Bore……activated the frenzied slaughter mode.

Her graceful figure flickered like a ghost, her body light and swift!

Each of her movements……precisely avoided the incoming bullets.

Bullets brushed past the edge of Qin Bore's clothes, yet never touched her in the slightest.

It seemed, she had already predicted all the bullets' trajectories.

In the gap between dodging bullets, Qin Bore raised her wrist, the long sword bringing a fierce gust, precisely slashing at the hands of a assassin about to fire!

"Crack!" several crisp sounds, accompanied by the assassin's shrill scream, that assassin's hands were cleanly cut off, blood spurted out, and the pistol also fell to the ground.

Lin Yuan not far away, shocked, watched Qin Bore's battle.

He could only describe Qin Bore's swordsmanship as shocking.

Just how much terrifying power does this woman still hide??

Watching Qin Bore's sword-drawing speed……even Lin Yuan was shocked.

Asking himself, Lin Yuan himself, even could not fully dodge this sword of Qin Bore.

At the very moment Qin Bore slew that assassin, a hidden assassin in the crowd……seized the chance to sneak attack from behind.

The assassin's short dagger……carrying a cold light, straight thrust toward Qin Bore's back heart!

The assassin's movements were secret and vicious, attempting a fatal blow in one strike.

Qin Bore seemed to have eyes on her back, her body swaying slightly as she simultaneously made a gorgeous thrust with her long sword.

Her sword tip……pierced the throat of the ambushing assassin with uncanny precision.

The sound of the blade entering flesh……was clearly audible.

That assassin's eyes bulged wide, his face full of disbelief and pain!

The assassin……grasped futilely at the long sword piercing his throat with both hands, yet could make no sound.

The assassin's body……slowly collapsed, completely devoid of breath.

Qin Bore withdrew her long sword and flicked off the blood on the blade.

Her movements were clean and decisive, without any hesitation.

Her swordplay has always been fast, accurate, and ruthless—every move lethal, giving the opponent no chance to catch a breath.

Qin Bore's series of actions once again intimidated everyone present.

Whether it was the Divine Phoenix Group locked in combat……or the New Faction, or the Old Faction watching from afar, all held their breath……

Everyone's gaze……was locked firmly on Qin Bore.

In people's eyes……lay shock and awe.

In everyone's hearts……there was only one thought: What a fast blade!

In the crowd, another assassin refused to give up, his eyes ferocious, his face twisted.

The assassin frantically pulled the trigger at Qin Bore, bullets shooting out like arrows released from a bow!

The bullets' speed was astonishing.

But the moment the bullets were fired, Qin Bore's figure had already vanished from the spot!

Her graceful figure flashed violently, speed reaching the extreme!

Her graceful figure, almost in the void……turned into a faint afterimage.

Ordinary people's naked eyes could not discern her movement trajectory, as if she had teleported.

The next second, Qin Bore had already teleported to the assassin's front!

The assassin's pupils contracted……he hadn't even had time to react!

On the assassin's face……still lingered a ferocious expression!

Qin Bore's long sword in hand……had turned into a silver flash, so fast only a cold light remained!

Her blade, following the assassin's body……from head to toe……lightly glided over!

This stroke, the motion elegant……yet carried deadly ruthlessness.

Afterwards, Qin Bore slowly sheathed her sword, the long sword withdrawn.

Her movements flowed like clouds and water, with no superfluous motion.

Meanwhile, that assassin stood rigidly in place.

The assassin's eyes widened, his face……still frozen in a ferocious expression.

Yet the assassin could not move an inch.

The assassin's body……had already been slit by the long sword with a fatal wound, only Qin Bore's sword speed was too fast, …

The assassin had not yet felt pain before losing all consciousness.

Immediately after, a strange scene occurred.

The rigidly standing assassin, on his forehead……suddenly a fine blood line appeared……

The blood line, as if pulled by an invisible force, slowly spread downward from the forehead……

The blood line's speed was not fast, but unusually clear; each inch it spread was accompanied by a faint sound of skin tearing.

In the span of a breath, that blood line……extended from the assassin's forehead……to the soles of his feet, completely dividing his body.

The next second!

"Plop!" a muffled sound!

The assassin's body……from head to toe, was forcibly split into two halves.

Fresh blood……gushed out like a spring, instantly staining the ground beneath his feet red……

The fresh blood mingled with the already congealed bloodstains on the square, becoming even more glaring.

The assassin's two halves……collapsed heavily to the ground, corpses scattered everywhere, a sight too horrible to behold.

The tragic cries at the scene……escalated once again.

Whether it was the New Faction's enforcers or the Old Faction's onlookers, all were shaken to the core by this ultimate ruthlessness……

Everyone widened their pupils, shocked and horrified!

This Qin Bore is too ruthless!

Even Lin Yuan was shocked!

He never expected Qin Bore to be this ruthless!

And Qin Bore was utterly unaffected by this gruesome scene.

Her sword-sheathing motion remained calm and elegant, yet the killing intent in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Qin Bore's graceful figure……flashed again.

She moved like a ghost……weaving through the dark sea of people.

The long sword in her hand……flashed with cold light.

Every time she swung her blade……it was too fast to catch!

Qin Bore had no extra moves, yet every stance was lethal, displaying heaven-defying martial power.

Her movement was swift to the extreme, her feet as if generating wind, her figure constantly shuttling through the crowd, leaving behind faint afterimages one after another@!

New Faction thugs……couldn't even see the trajectory of her movements……

These New Faction members could only watch helplessly as their companions……kept falling one after another.

Someone tried to swing a knife to counterattack, but before the blade could be raised, Qin Bore's Long Sword had already pierced their chest;

Someone wanted to turn and flee, but she backhandedly chopped off both legs with a knife, and they collapsed in a pool of blood, wailing.

As the Long Sword swung, blood spattered in all directions.

The piercing sound of breaking air……and the tragic screams……were intertwined,

Qin Bore……like strolling leisurely through a chaotic army, each step treading on pools of blood,

Each time she swung her blade……she could reap a life.

Her swordsmanship was terrifyingly precise; no matter where an opponent hid in the crowd, no matter how they launched a sneak attack, she could instantly anticipate and deliver a fatal backhand strike—no one could withstand even a single move against her blade.

Even the most elite thugs of the New Faction, armed with sharp weapons and swarming forward, were nothing but futile.

Qin Bore flickered her form and dodged all attacks.

She swept her Long Sword horizontally, and in an instant……cut several elite thugs in half at the waist.

Fresh blood soaked her Long Sword, yet it didn't affect her movements at all; instead, it added a few more points of a killing god's chilling aura.

She needed no support from subordinates; with her own strength alone, she was invincible amidst tens of thousands of troops!

Qin Bore each time she swung her blade……carried a blood‑killing aura.

Her black long hair fluttered in the sea of people.

At this moment, she was like a thunderbolt belle.

Every one of her movements……fully displayed slaughter.

Qin Bore's heaven‑defying martial prowess and swordsmanship completely refreshed everyone's cognition on the spot!

All the New Faction groups had nothing left in their eyes but a fear that seeped into the marrow.

But……even if Qin Bore's combat power was heaven‑defying.

But, the sea of New Faction forces on site……was still so numerous as to be suffocating.

A vast, dark sea of people, like a tide, kept pouring in endlessly, as if they could never be completely slain.

Qin Bore each time she swung her blade……a swath of thugs fell, and behind her……immediately more New Faction members roared as they charged forward!

New Faction members pressed forward one after another; even though they knew it meant death, they still fearlessly rushed ahead!

Their eyes……were filled with mad, vicious energy!

They were roused to bloodlust by Qin Bore's ruthlessness, and also driven even more crazy by the hefty rewards offered by the bosses behind them!

They had no retreat; they could only grit their teeth and press forward.

On the plaza, the fallen members piled up like mountains.

On the scene, wails filled the air.

The bloody red had already gathered into a stream, flowing along the cracks in the ground……

The metallic tang of rust in the air was so strong it made people want to vomit.

Qin Bore's graceful figure……still frenziedly charged through the sea of people.

Her Long Sword had long been soaked in blood, the blade glowing with a dark red light.

Each time Qin Bore swung, she could kick up a spray of blood, yet her person remained unstained by even a trace.

Her black dress remained clean and spotless, not a speck of dust on it.

It seemed as if the blood pools beneath her feet and the slaughter around her had nothing to do with her.

Even if blood droplets splashed up, they seemed blocked by an invisible force, never able to land on her hem.

Her utter purity……contrasted starkly with the brutal slaughter around her……

This only highlighted her coldness and toughness.

She was like a dark‑night rose blooming in a sea of blood—absolutely beautiful yet deadly.

Amid the slaughter, Lin Yun'er……relied on her fierce swordsmanship to carve out a bloody path.

Lin Yun'er flickered her form and quickly approached Qin Bore.

Lin Yun'er avoided the New Faction thugs rushing at her from all sides.

Lin Yun'er slightly bent her body and leaned close to Qin Bore's ear.

Lin Yun'er, using a voice only the two could hear, spoke respectfully……and with a hint of worry:

"Missy, the New Faction has too many people; continuing like this……isn't a solution. Should we, should we mobilize military support?"

Upon hearing that, Qin Bore's Long Sword……swung with the momentum and cleaved two thugs lunging at her.

Qin Bore's motion had not the slightest pause; she merely shook her head lightly.

Her beautiful eyes remained icy, her tone calm and steady, she replied in a low voice:

"No. This is a Peaceful City; there are too many onlookers and innocent passersby around. Arbitrarily deploying troops would only cause mass panic and invite disaster. Moreover, this move……would play right into the hands of those old fogies in the clan, giving them a handle to use against me—more loss than gain."
