Chapter 192: Which One Doesn't Want It

"Just by relying on you lot, you dare to come to my Xinghai Gang to cause trouble!"

In mid-air, a person stood holding a sword; the flickering sword light reflected a cold and stern face.

This face was very pale, as if it lacked even a hint of blood, yet the person was extraordinarily powerful, and the Sword Qi seemed as if it were about to tear the void apart.

With a single swing of the sword, the path it passed over looked as if it had been plowed by heavy machinery; mountain rocks were overturned, vegetation was destroyed, and the massive chasm torn open by the Sword Qi displayed their extraordinary power.

"My lord, perhaps we should retreat first!"

Supporting a Thousand Household of the Black-Clad Guard beside him, a Hundred-Household's face was already drenched in blood, and one of his arms was nowhere to be seen. And the people around them were becoming fewer and fewer.

"My lord, they simply cannot be killed, and that person is truly too strong!"

Who could have imagined that just as they had finished surrounding the Xinghai Gang, the people of the Xinghai Gang would immediately rush out and engage them in a slaughter.

Moreover, these people were all fearless, no, one could not call it fearless, because they simply could not be killed.

A blade would strike down, and the opponent would not only be completely fine and strike back, but would also continue to fight as if nothing had happened, without a single trace of injury visible.

Most importantly, these people were all immensely strong, and their bodies all exuded a fierce aura.

In one encounter, just a single encounter, they had already suffered heavy losses. If they hadn't been strong enough, they might have been completely wiped out in that one encounter.

In their investigation, although the Xinghai Gang was numerous and powerful, it was merely a gang entrenched in Anzhou City, throwing its weight around by relying on the power of the former Governor, He Yuan.

Their overall strength was indeed quite strong, but it was limited; their gang leader, Li Zehai, was only a Grandmaster, and there were not many top-tier experts within the gang.

One must know that they were the most elite Black-Clad Guard; ever since following Lord Shen, they had usually obtained many benefits, and their strength had been rising rapidly.

Whether in overall strength or individual strength, they were no longer what they once were; they had long since stopped taking the likes of the Xinghai Gang seriously.

Before coming, he had been full of confidence, patting his chest and telling Lord Liang Ruyue that it would take less than half an hour to capture Li Zehai and bring him before Lord Shen.

But the result? They had actually fought to such a state; his old face was completely lost.

Especially that person standing with the sword; the aura was simply not what a Grandmaster-level expert should have.

With one sword strike, it was a state of complete suppression; wherever the Sword Qi passed, whether it was the Xinghai Gang's own people or the brothers of the Black-Clad Guard on their side, they were all directly shattered by the Sword Qi. It was truly terrifying, and ruthless!

How could such a high-level expert be holed up in a place like the Xinghai Gang? This was not reasonable!

And from beginning to end, they had no information on this person. Not just this person, the surrounding "undead" were the same!

"My lord, if we don't leave now, the brothers will be wiped out!" Grabbing the Thousand Household beside him, the Hundred-Household with only one arm left said hurriedly, "My lord, you go first, I will lead the brothers to cover the retreat!"

"No, you cannot block them. You take a few brothers right now and report the situation here to Lord Shen, quickly!"

"Then what about you, my lord?"

"I will stay behind to hold them off and buy you a chance!"

"Want to leave? None of you are leaving!" The pale-faced middle-aged man cast his gaze here; a Thousand Household of the Black-Clad Guard, a Grandmaster-level expert—killing such an expert was the only thing that was interesting.

He slowly raised the sword in his hand; he was confident that no one could live under his sword. With one strike, everything would become nothingness!

A trace of a mocking smile appeared on his face; he just loved to see these ants struggling bitterly under his sword.

It is a pity, no matter how you struggle, in the end, it is all in vain!

The sword in his hand was slowly raised, and the heart-palpitating Sword Qi appeared once again; the terrifying aura that seemed to want to annihilate everything made one unable to help but tremble from the inside out.

Before the Black-Clad Guard on this side could react, the opponent's sword had already fallen. The Sword Qi traversed space and time, and almost in the blink of an eye, it was already close to them. The next moment, the Sword Qi would tear them into pieces.

At this moment, the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth curled slightly, as if he were quietly admiring his own masterpiece. This sight of flesh and blood scattering was truly the most beautiful moment in the world.

Every time he saw a life wither at his hands, it was his proudest moment. Under his sword, life was just that fragile.

"How is this possible!" Suddenly, the middle-aged man's smile froze on his face.

Just at the moment the Sword Qi approached them, his own Sword Qi had unexpectedly disappeared without a sound. And in front of these Black-Clad Guards, a young man with the appearance of a scholar had appeared.

"My, my lord?" Not yet having reacted from that very moment, the remaining Black-Clad Guards looked silently at the person who had suddenly appeared, and only after a long while did they let out fanatical shouts.

Lord Shen had arrived; everything was secure.

"You are Shen Yu?" The hand gripping the sword could not help but tighten; a person's name is like the shadow of a tree—recently, all he had heard in his ears was this person's name.

In the mouths of those people, this young man was no longer an ordinary expert, but a pinnacle figure nearly on par with Mu Zishan, capable of suppressing the world.

Following this, a wave of fanatical emotion surged into his heart; encountering such an expert was what made one excited.

"They all say you are a rare expert in the world; I want to see if what they say is true!"

"They said it wrong; not a rare expert in the world, but invincible in the world!"

"I am already invincible in this world; an expert like you who relies on Secret Medicine to maintain strength doesn't even have the qualifications to make me move."

"What big talk! Go to hell!" His whole body leaped up, as if he had become one with the sword in his hand, like the sharpest sword rushing toward Shen Yu.

The sharpness of the sword seemed to pierce the void, exuding a terrifying aura that suppressed everything, filled with a final brilliance.

The moment Shen Yu appeared, he knew he was no match, so this sword strike was his final sword, and also a sword of certain death.

But he was a swordsman, a madman who could even pack himself up and sell himself in pursuit of the absolute peak, a madman who dared to draw his sword even when facing the world's top experts.

He wanted people to know that there was still one swordsman in this world, and his name was Zhan Jing!

But when this sword of his approached Shen Yu, the sword light suddenly shattered, and his own body instantly became riddled with holes like a piece of torn cloth.

His whole person knelt directly in front of Shen Yu; clearly, this person before him was within arm's reach, but he felt as if it were a natural chasm.

Clearly he had paid so much, clearly he had sacrificed everything, why was he still unable to close the distance between him and the top-tier experts? He hadn't even seen their back.

"This is impossible!"

"There is nothing impossible about it. Your sword went astray; the moment you strike, you are burning yourself."

"Do you know? This sword of yours—if it doesn't strike, so be it, but once it strikes, it is certain death. This is a sword of certain death!"

"I know. My sword can only strike once, and that is enough. Meeting an expert like you is my honor!"
