Chapter 1149

Watching this green-skinned swordsman fight with such fierce bravery, Hearing Gai Nie felt a surge of admiration.

But his hands did not stay idle—at the moment the green-skinned man's heavy blade was about to reach him.

Hearing Gai Nie suddenly shifted his body, employing the Guigu Vaulting Art, his figure rushing at high speed toward the green-skinned man.

A flash of surprise crossed the green-skinned swordsman's eyes—clearly he had not expected that this person before him, thin as a bamboo pole, could possess such explosive burst of speed.

Seeing that his blade would miss no matter what, Hearing Gai Nie's broken sword was about to pierce into his own chest.

The green-skinned swordsman hardened his heart and suddenly raised his other hand, grabbing at Hearing Gai Nie's broken sword!

How could Hearing Gai Nie not see it—although these green-skinned men were all tall and powerfully built, with terrifying brute strength.

Most of them, including this swordsman, had not practiced any body-hardening martial arts.

Therefore this hand was nothing more than mere mortal flesh.

With just this hand, he dared to block my sword edge?

A fool's daydream!

Bold…

Hearing Gai Nie thought to himself, and the broken sword in his hand did not dodge or yield.

Slicing sound!

Sword Qi like a rainbow pierced straight through this green-skinned swordsman's left hand—

And under the augmentation of sword Qi, it even severed his arm clean at the elbow.

In an instant, a great spray of blood gushed out, the scene quite gruesome.

By rights, having suffered such a grievous wound, even if this green-skinned swordsman still had fighting strength left, he would have to retreat.

But unexpectedly, instead of advancing, the green-skinned swordsman retreated—then, as if the pain of the severed arm meant nothing, threw his whole body at Hearing Gai Nie.

At the same time, Hearing Gai Nie could clearly sense that the green-skinned swordsman's heavy blade had already swung back.

Judging by the momentum of that heavy blade, this green-skinned swordsman actually harbored the intent to perish together with him.

At this, Hearing Gai Nie felt admiration rise in his heart once more, and also disdain.

If he himself had been taken down here by such a shallow trick of mutual destruction, he would never have survived until today no matter what.

Seeing the green-skinned swordsman throw his life away and lunge at him, Hearing Gai Nie channeled his true essence into the soles of his feet.

The Guigu Vaulting Art was employed once more—his whole body suddenly surged forward, then abruptly shifted upward.

The green-skinned swordsman's heavy blade could not be reined in in time; the massive inertia of the swing actually cleaved into his own body.

Even so, this green-skinned swordsman felt no pain.

Blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he gave Hearing Gai Nie an eerie smile.

Just at this moment, from all directions, countless heavy-blade attacks had already descended upon him.

Only now did Hearing Gai Nie understand—in that flash of lightning, this green-skinned swordsman had already known he was no match for Hearing Gai Nie whatsoever.

He had thrown away his own life, insisting on creating an opening.

An opening for his companions to finish Hearing Gai Nie off!

This green-skinned swordsman—was truly fierce to such an extent?

Hearing Gai Nie sighed once more in his heart, but his hands did not panic.

Having fought these green-skinned swordsmen for a long time, he had already discovered that in terms of attack power, these green-skinned swordsmen had indeed reached the offensive might of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

But in terms of technique and cultivation, they had not even reached the Transcendent grade.

Only that strange movement art of theirs—able to evade his martial Qi sensing and vanish into the air—was truly exceptional.

Without that movement art, even if there were twice as many of them, relying only on brute-force heavy blades, they would not be Hearing Gai Nie's match no matter what.

Seeing that he was about to be dismembered by the chaotic blades, Hearing Gai Nie remained unhurried, preparing to unleash his ultimate technique to break the enemy.

"Hearing Gai Nie…"

Unexpectedly, at this moment Hearing Ying Zheng noticed the situation on this side, and out of worry, struck first.

Although Hearing Ying Zheng was the Emperor of Great Qin, ever since returning to Great Qin he had been bitterly cultivating the Ten Thousand Ages Dragon Emperor Art.

Legend had it that this martial art originated from the royal house of Great Zhou.

Although its grade was unknown, judging solely by its ability to manipulate dragon Qi, it was truly a rare ultimate art under heaven.

Seeing Hearing Gai Nie in danger, Hearing Ying Zheng did not hesitate, directly using the Ten Thousand Ages Dragon Emperor Art to manipulate countless dragon Qi to attack over.

The dragon Qi, accompanied by countless dragon roars, arrived in an instant.

Before the green-skinned swordsmen could even reveal themselves, this dragon Qi blasted them all into mincemeat.

Hearing Gai Nie watched the dragon Qi sweep past him by a hair's breadth on all sides.

Over ten green-skinned swordsmen were slaughtered by the dragon Qi.

In his heart he felt both gratitude and shock.

Back then in the abandoned military tent at Zui City, being able to obtain the Dragon Emperor's blood was truly a matter of luck!

Judging by this dragon Qi attack now, if Hearing Ying Zheng had been unwilling back then—

Even if he himself had truly risked everything, wanting to defeat a Hearing Ying Zheng bolstered by dragon Qi—there would have been no hope at all!

While his heart was sighing in admiration, he suddenly saw a black shadow appear near Hearing Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, be careful…"

Seeing this situation, Hearing Gai Nie could not help but feel his eyes about to split from fury.

Even though he himself had "betrayed" Qin Huang, at the critical moment Hearing Ying Zheng still struck out to save him.

Now that Hearing Ying Zheng was in danger, how could Hearing Gai Nie not be alarmed!

"Hundred-Step Flying Sword!"

Countless sword Qi, like white dragons, suddenly appeared, swirling around Hearing Gai Nie's side.

Hearing Gai Nie, Hearing Ying Zheng, Qin Huang, Guigu Vaulting Art, Ten Thousand Ages Dragon Emperor Art, Dragon Emperor's Blood, Hundred-Step Flying Sword, Earthly Immortal Realm, Zui City, Great Qin, Great Zhou

With his palm facing forward, bracing against the broken Yuan Hong Sword, Hearing Gai Nie finally unleashed the killing stroke of his Vertical Sword Art!

In almost the blink of an eye, Hearing Gai Nie's Hundred-Pace Flying Sword had already streaked from his original position to strike near Hearing Ying Zheng.

But no matter how fast his movements were, the black shadow's movements were even faster.

Taking advantage of the opening while Hearing Ying Zheng had driven nearly all of his dragon qi over to save Hearing Gai Nie,

the black shadow suddenly revealed several black tendrils, and with eerie precision seized Hearing Ying Zheng's four limbs.

Two more black shadows struck—one at Hearing Ying Zheng's brow, one at his Shanzhong acupoint.

They completely suppressed Hearing Ying Zheng's Ten Thousand Ages Dragon Emperor Art, making it impossible for him to drive his dragon qi again.

Then the black tendrils binding his four limbs immediately activated.

It was as if they meant to drag Hearing Ying Zheng bodily down into the earth itself.

Just as Hearing Gai Nie's Hundred-Pace Flying Sword had fully formed, half of Hearing Ying Zheng's body had already been pulled into the earth.

At this, Hearing Gai Nie was both shocked and furious, yet utterly helpless.

Hearing Ying Zheng inwardly sighed as well, thinking he was about to capsize in a ditch like this,

when suddenly, a streak of profound ice appeared out of nowhere.

Those black shadows, which were not solid objects, were frozen by this profound ice and could no longer pull Hearing Ying Zheng in the slightest.

Immediately after, a figure appeared beside Hearing Ying Zheng and flicked a finger.

Those black shadows were utterly obliterated by an invisible force.

Hearing Ying Zheng's body returned once more to the surface of the earth.

Boom!

With a light sound, that person raised another finger and easily caught the full-force Hundred-Pace Flying Sword Hearing Gai Nie had unleashed.

Countless Bai Long-like sword qi could not advance a single inch past the tip of this person's finger.

He turned his head and said admiringly to Hearing Gai Nie,

"I never expected that old ghost Wang Xu would have trained such a fine disciple as you.

Once you can merge that one move into the Hundred-Pace Flying Sword and wield it as naturally as your own arm and finger, you'll be qualified."

Saying so, he flicked lightly.

Hearing Gai Nie's sword momentum, which had been like a rainbow, was dispersed into nothing by that single finger strike.

After saying this to Hearing Gai Nie and dispersing the sword momentum of the Hundred-Pace Flying Sword, this person turned his gaze toward the distance,

"Listen, all of you—before the Qin Army is broken, anyone who dares step one step out of this wasteland shall be killed without mercy!"

Saying so, he pointed casually, and the mist that had shrouded the surroundings gradually dispersed.
