Chapter 187

The long sword was swung by him, the sword light swaying, ten thousand cold stars flickering.

Gai Nie's gaze was solemn; Lao Ai actually possessed such sword skills, which exceeded his expectations. Thinking of Lao Ai's previous move, he felt it was only natural.

It could only be said that this Marquis of Changxin, Lao Ai, was hidden even deeper than imagined.

The double swords collided with the sword in Lao Ai's hand.

Su Xuan's expression was calm, without any ripples. He raised his hand, and with a flick of his finger, he tapped lightly.

A burst of energy flew out, piercing through the sky in an instant, and landed on Lao Ai's body.

Even though Lao Ai was wearing armor, he still could not block the infiltration of this energy. Then, the energy broke through his skin and seeped into his body.

There was no wound on his body, and the armor did not show any damage.

But when this energy entered his body, his body suddenly stiffened, and then his life was cut off in an instant.

As his life was cut off, a figure that ordinary people could not see flew out from Lao Ai's body, showing unwillingness, and fell into Su Xuan's palm, where it was tightly gripped, and then, with a slight force, it was directly annihilated.

Earthly Dao Technique—Soul-Chasing!

This technique is a method to seize a person's soul and cause their death!

Even for Su Xuan, wanting to perform this technique was not as easy as imagined; with just this one finger, his magic power had been consumed by more than seventy percent.

However, the result brought by this technique was shocking.

In everyone's eyes, they only saw Su Xuan flick a finger at Lao Ai from afar, Lao Ai's body stiffened, and then he fell to the ground, clearly dead.

Watching Lao Ai fall to the ground and die, Ying Zheng was stunned for a long time, clearly unable to accept this result, and asked Su Xuan tentatively: "Mr. Su, Lao Ai, he?"

"He is already dead!"

Even though he had a guess in his heart, Ying Zheng's body trembled slightly when he heard the affirmative answer.

He then hurriedly said to Gai Nie: "Mr. Gai..."

Gai Nie received Ying Zheng's order, immediately raised his long sword to the sky, and said sharply: "Lao Ai is dead! The King of Qin has ordered: those who surrender will not be killed!"

Many guards guarding Ying Zheng's side also echoed one after another.

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Lao Ai's subordinates, seeing Lao Ai fall, were already greatly shocked, but some always held onto a fluke. Until this moment, hearing the news of Lao Ai's death, their morale was greatly damaged.

Except for a few who still aggressively rushed forward, intending to avenge Lao Ai, the rest hesitated.

Facts proved that their hesitation was justified.

Because those who rushed forward were killed by the red and white swords before they could even get close to Ying Zheng.

Lao Ai's strength was not bad; relying on an ordinary sword, he could barely parry a few times before dying under Su Xuan's "Soul-Chasing" technique. Their strength was clearly not as good as Lao Ai's.

After all, Lao Ai also had the identity of a top-tier Luo Wang expert.

In one encounter, everyone who rushed forward died.

Blood spilled on the ground, combined with Lao Ai's corpse lying on the ground; this was a very shocking thing.

The defense line in the hearts of all of Lao Ai's subordinates was finally broken.

Their bodies trembled slightly, and they chose to put down the weapons in their hands and surrender.

Seeing these people surrender, a cold smile curled at the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth. Although he had just said that those who surrender would not be killed, surrendering did not mean that the things they had done following Lao Ai could be written off.

After this matter was over, there would naturally be a time for settling accounts.

He stepped forward, looked at Lao Ai's corpse, snorted coldly, and then ordered his subordinates to properly collect Lao Ai's corpse.

Although Lao Ai was already dead.

But based on the many crimes Lao Ai had committed, he would subject Lao Ai's corpse to the punishment of being torn apart by chariots, and then hang his head to show the public.

With Lao Ai's death and his subordinates surrendering, the subsequent journey became much smoother, and no more dangers were encountered.

In the dark, a woman who had arrived in Yongcheng long ago, preparing to take the opportunity to help Ying Zheng and gain Ying Zheng's favor, raised her brows slightly.

What happened today was somewhat beyond her expectations.

Although the sect leader, the Eastern Sovereign, had anticipated that Ying Zheng would encounter danger today and that they could take the opportunity to help and exchange for Ying Zheng's favor, he had not anticipated that there would be another expert beside Ying Zheng, which actually left her with no place to use her skills.

Earlier, when Lao Ai used the Yanyan sword to perform exquisite sword moves, she was ready to take action, and even quietly gathered her internal energy.

As a result, before her internal energy could be released, someone else had beaten her to it.

Even Lao Ai was killed by the other party with a flick of a finger.

She could roughly see Lao Ai's strength through that fleeting glimpse earlier; it was definitely not weak.

Such a person, even for her, would have to spend some effort to take down.

As a result, under that person's hand, it was just a matter of a flick of a finger.

Who was that person? Where did he come from?

The woman developed many curiosities, and then she looked at the rooftop not far away.

On the rooftop, Yan Lingji stood quietly, fine rain falling; she was like a demoness who had fallen into the human world.

The woman's thoughts flickered, and she flew toward Yan Lingji in an instant. ===== CHAPTER 189 =====
