Chapter 28

……

Wei Zhuang stopped his footsteps.

Zhang Liang also stopped.

Zhang Liang retreated a step.

The people on the long street were flowing endlessly.

Walking back and forth without stopping.

Wei Zhuang’s gaze met the gaze of the man who was less than two hundred meters away.

Zhang Liang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked: "Can you handle it?"

Wei Zhuang said indifferently: "Hard to say."

Zhang Liang knew that Wei Zhuang was a conceited person.

If he were certain, he would definitely say he was certain.

But for him to say he was unsure, it showed that the person who had come was an absolute powerhouse!

At the very least, not below Wei Zhuang!

A flash of hidden worry crossed Zhang Liang’s eyes: "Is it a Heaven-class assassin from the Net?"

Wei Zhuang said indifferently: "The Net’s Heaven-class first-rate assassin, Black and White Xuan Jian!"

"One black, one white, the twin blades of Xuan Jian; the righteous blade claims lives, the reverse blade suppresses souls."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang was greatly shocked.

"What?"

"He is Black and White Xuan Jian?"

Wei Zhuang said: "Correct, more than ten years ago, I had a battle with him!"

"In that battle, only by joining forces with my senior brother could I barely deal with him!"

Hearing this, the shock in Zhang Liang’s eyes deepened!

If it took Wei Zhuang and Ge Nie joining forces to barely deal with him, how formidable must he be!

Just at this moment.

Golden light shone again on the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament.

Zhang Liang looked up and saw Ge Nie’s great name appear on the Azure Cloud Ranking.

Seeing Ge Nie on the list.

Zhang Liang said with emotion: "If only Mr. Ge Nie were here today!"

"Then you two senior and junior brothers could join forces again!"

Wei Zhuang, however, said: "Not needed!"

Wei Zhuang only glanced at Ge Nie, who had just appeared on the Azure Cloud Ranking.

Wei Zhuang viewed the fact that Ge Nie’s cultivation was higher than his own very calmly.

In fact.

In the many years he and Ge Nie had been senior and junior brothers.

He had always been steadily suppressed by Ge Nie!

Therefore, the thing he wanted to do most all these years was to defeat Ge Nie once, openly and squarely!

At the Mohist Mechanical City, he and his senior brother Ge Nie had fought a battle!

In that battle, even with Ge Nie’s internal injuries not yet healed.

He had almost lost!

This showed how formidable his senior brother’s attainments in swordsmanship were!

His senior brother being called the Sword Saint by people in the Jianghu was absolutely well-deserved!

Therefore, seeing his senior brother Ge Nie on the list.

He did not feel much jealousy.

On the contrary, he was very calm!

He took a deep breath.

And fixed his gaze on Black and White Xuan Jian, two hundred meters away!

The wind was blowing!

It brushed against people’s hair and the corners of their clothes!

Wei Zhuang moved!

Swish!

Wei Zhuang transformed into a remnant shadow!

Black and white light suddenly shone from Black and White Xuan Jian’s body!

Bang!!

The two’s blades collided!

Wei Zhuang’s Shark Tooth sword struck heavily against Xuan Jian’s black sword!

Bang!

The moment their blades collided!

A boundless wave of air erupted!

Beneath their feet, the large stones shattered!

Countless cracks extended continuously in all directions!

Whoosh!

In an instant.

Everyone on the entire street had run away!

……

At the Nangong Chunshui Immortal-Asking Pavilion!

Li Li Changsheng and the others had been watching the Azure Cloud Ranking in the firmament with great interest.

But at this moment.

There was a sudden commotion on the long street!

The crowd was in chaos, scattering and fleeing!

In almost less than five breaths!

There were not many people left on the entire long street.

Li Li Changsheng and the others looked toward that direction!

In an instant, they saw Black and White Xuan Jian and Wei Zhuang fighting!

Duan Yu said with a surprised face: "That is!!"

Lian Lian Chengbi narrowed his eyes and said: "Such a strong aura!"

"Who are those two!"

Guo Xiang was holding her puppy, enjoying herself.

But she also glanced at the two on the street.

The sound of the rolling air waves was truly quite astonishing!

Li Li Changsheng looked into the distance, watching the two fighting, and with their unique attire, he understood in his heart, having guessed their identities with near certainty!

However, he did not speak out their identities.

……

Great Qin.

Dizhou.

Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng watched as Ge Nie’s name appeared on the Azure Cloud Ranking.

Ying Zheng felt extremely uncomfortable!

"Ge Nie!"

"It is you who have failed me!"

A sharp light flashed in Ying Zheng’s eyes. ===== CHAPTER 69 =====

He had feelings for Ge Nie.

Before Ge Nie defected, he had never thought Ge Nie would betray him!

But such a thing had happened!

Ge Nie was truly an old companion who had followed him since before he had even personally taken control of the government!

Along the way, Ge Nie had blocked countless open spears and hidden arrows for him.

He had once viewed Ge Nie as his closest minister, even a friend!

They had a common goal, which was to unify the Nine Provinces!

To end this chaotic world that had lasted for who knows how many years!

However.

Ge Nie had defected!

Betrayed him!

Betrayed Great Qin!

Betrayed the ideal they once shared!

Ying Zheng’s heart ached!

But he did not show it!

He wanted people to capture Ge Nie and bring him back!

He still had some words to say to Ge Nie in person!

……

Great Qin.

Qizhou.

Outside Sanghai City.

Mohist secret stronghold.

The leaders of the Mohist school saw Ge Nie on the list.

They all began to congratulate Ge Nie.

Ge Nie was the person with the deepest cultivation among them.

And this was even with Ge Nie having internal injuries.

If Ge Nie were in his prime, his strength would be even further beyond their reach!

How could the name of Sword Saint be an empty reputation!

Da Da Tiechui said from the side: "Mr. Ge Nie, I did not expect your realm to have reached the seventh-grade Grandmaster!"

"If you were not injured, at the Mohist Mechanical City, Wei Zhuang would definitely have been defeated by your sword!"

Dao Zhi said: "This is great!"

"The Heavenly Dao has rewarded Mr. Ge with a Nine-Turn Demon-Subduing Pill!"

"This pill is extraordinary!"

"If Mr. Ge takes this pill, his strength will surely skyrocket tenfold!"

"With Mr. Ge’s current realm, a tenfold increase in power would surely mean he has broken through to the Celestial realm!"

At this moment.

Golden light streaked across the firmament.

And landed in front of Ge Nie.

The Mohist leaders watched the object wrapped in the golden light.

All of them were staring intently.

Ge Nie reached out and took out the Nine-Turn Demon-Subduing Pill and the 《Supreme Intent Art》.

Then, he put them away generously.

Although the Mohist leaders were envious, they would not go so far as to ask Ge Nie to let them see the 《Supreme Intent Art》.

After all.

That was a cultivation technique rewarded by the Heavenly Dao.

It was absolutely not simple!

How could it be easily shown to others!

At this time.

Ge Nie stood up and said: "Everyone, excuse me, I need to go see Miss Duanmu!"

Having said that, Ge Nie turned and left.

No one knew what Ge Nie was thinking.

The Mohist crowd watched Ge Nie’s tall back, all of them filled with confusion! ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
