Chapter 1143

It's just that Zhang Han's situation wasn't much better either.

For a moment, beneath the sand dune, the two sides were locked in continuous chaotic combat.

On the other side of the sand dune, Wei Zhuang had already gathered boundless sword Qi, transforming it into a black dragon, and charged at the giant beast known as the Mirage Beast.

It was just that this Mirage Beast was no easy opponent either.

Though Wei Zhuang's offensive was fierce, he still hadn't taken down this giant beast for the moment.

On both sides of the sand dune, great battles raged—nearly everyone had entered the fray.

Above the sand dune, dragon Qi flew wildly as Ying Zheng and Chengjiu also fought fiercely.

Only Gai Nie, Feixue, Xiao Li, and the Pixiu—three people and one beast—remained unmoved at this moment.

Gai Nie was also quite conflicted at this moment.

Logically speaking, he had never truly betrayed Great Qin, nor betrayed Ying Zheng.

Moreover, when he had rescued Feixue earlier, Ying Zheng had clearly gone easy on him, which was the only reason he had succeeded.

Otherwise, with Yin Zhong, Prince Zichu, Shang Yang, Bai Qi, and countless other experts—any one of them making a move—he absolutely could not have left Xianyanggong alive.

Therefore, at this moment, Gai Nie ought to side with Ying Zheng; helping the Shadow Guards defeat Shanzhuang was the priority.

But precisely at this juncture, Gai Nie truly wanted to know what exactly the Lu Li Tribe possessed.

Moreover, the legendary Nine Springs Azure Blood Jade Leaf Flower was also within the Lu Li Tribe.

To save Miss Duanmu Rong, this miraculous flower was absolutely necessary.

Now Gai Nie had already reached the doorstep of this miraculous flower; if he left it untaken, wouldn't his conscience never know peace?

But Ying Zheng had come personally and spoken in such a manner, clearly indicating the matter was of great importance.

Whether the Lu Li Tribe should be unsealed or not was clearly not as simple as he had imagined.

Just as he was hesitating, Feixue, who had remained silent all this while, suddenly spoke:

"Brother Gai, which side should we help?"

In truth, Feixue did not want to help Great Qin—after all, her enemy was precisely Great Qin, although that Great Qin was not this Great Qin.

But she was intelligent and perceptive, and had noticed Gai Nie's hesitation.

If Gai Nie spoke up to help Great Qin, even if she were unwilling a hundred times over,

to repay Gai Nie for saving her life, Feixue would still make her move.

"This..."

Gai Nie had not yet made up his mind at this moment.

Watching the fighting between both sides grow ever more intense,

from time to time warriors of Shanzhuang or Shadow Guards would fall into pools of blood.

Seeing this, Gai Nie's heart grew increasingly resolute.

Enough!

Perhaps there were other ways to save Miss Duanmu Rong!

Rong'er, I'm sorry!

Gai Nie made up his mind; at this moment, he wished to set aside the love between man and woman for the greater good!

Roar—

A shrill, eerie shriek suddenly spread throughout the vicinity.

"Not good..."

Gai Nie's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look.

Sure enough, he saw that the black-dragon-like sword Qi of Wei Zhuang had already cleaved the incomparably massive Mirage Beast in two.

With the Mirage Beast slain, the momentum around Wei Zhuang surged ever higher.

"How is this possible? How could he slay a Mirage Beast with cultivation at the Supreme Mythical Realm?"

A Heavenly Being Realm cultivator slaying one at the Supreme Mythical Realm?

What kind of joke is this!

Feixue, witnessing this scene, was also utterly astonished.

She herself was an expert at the Supreme Mythical Realm, and could naturally tell that Wei Zhuang's strength was, at most, the mid-stage of the Heavenly Being Realm.

He hadn't even reached the late stage—how could he have slain a Supreme Mythical Realm cultivator?

What method had this person used?

It was just that, because of the great battle beneath the sand dune and her guessing at Gai Nie's attitude, Feixue had been distracted and had not noticed exactly how Wei Zhuang had achieved victory.

"Sigh..."

Rather, looking at Wei Zhuang like this, Gai Nie's eyes held not joy, but added worry.

"Haha! Zhao Zheng, you've lost!"

Seeing the Mirage Beast slain by Wei Zhuang, Chengjiu could not contain his joy and called out to Ying Zheng, who was not far away.

Ying Zheng had once been a hostage prince in Zhao Guo—that experience was truly quite humiliating.

To humiliate Ying Zheng, Chengjiu privately called him Zhao Zheng.

Hearing Chengjiu's taunts in his ears, Ying Zheng paid them no heed.

He was only somewhat anxious seeing Wei Zhuang slay the Mirage Beast.

This time, to cope with the calamity that Shang Yang and others had divined, he could only bring the Shadow Guards ahead of time.

He had thought that even if the Shadow Guards were no match for Chengjiu's Shanzhuang, they could at least buy some time.

As long as he could stall until his reinforcements arrived, what did Chengjiu's people have to fight him with?

And what talk was there of unsealing the Lu Li Tribe?

It just so happened that he saw the mirage beast's strength was at the Supreme Mythical Realm.

The one stepping forward to deal with it was Weizhuang of the Heavenly Being Realm.

What I'm saying is, a Heavenly Being Realm cultivator would find it very hard to defeat a Supreme Mythical Realm one, right!

Yet Weizhuang, of all people, made Hearing Ying Zheng's scheme fall through!

"Damnable…"

Though anxious in his heart, Hearing Ying Zheng could do nothing about it.

"Gai Nie, quickly, go unseal the Lu Li Tribe for me!"

Seeing that even addressing Zhao Zheng could not shake Hearing Ying Zheng's will, Hearing Cheng Jiao secretly admired him in his heart, and his mouth also delivered a vicious remark.

Since you, Hearing Ying Zheng, don't want to unseal the Lu Li Tribe, then I will unseal it all the more.

Let's see if you get anxious or not!.

923 You're talking about Hundred Steps Flying Sword, aren't you? Weizhuangye Society knows it too

"Gai Nie…"

Hearing these words, though anxious in his heart, Hearing Ying Zheng still cast a calm gaze toward Gai Nie.

In his thinking, Gai Nie and he were the closest of friends, and he had never treated him poorly.

Moreover, for his sake, he had always let him serve as the Chief Sword Guest of the Great Qin court.

Such an honor was truly the utmost of grace and favor.

Besides, he had just said so himself.

If the Lu Li Tribe were unsealed, the world would all suffer catastrophe.

Gai Nie, this man, held the suffering of all the world's common people in his heart.

Given his character, he would surely not aid a tyrant in his cruelty.

Hearing Hearing Cheng Jiao's order, Gai Nie also sighed in his heart.

He naturally would not, for his own selfish interests, disregard the common people of the world.

That would truly run counter to his Way of the Sword.

He raised his head at once, preparing to directly refuse Hearing Cheng Jiao.

"Careful…"

Just at this moment, an alarmed cry reached his ears.

Gai Nie's heart stirred, and he immediately detected a sword Qi rushing toward him.

This sword Qi was overbearing and domineering — it was precisely the sword Qi of the Ghost Valley Horizontal lineage!

Is it Weizhuang?
