Chapter 1162

Such a divine artifact—can Great Qin really deal with it?

940 You've made your own bed; there's no living through it!

Gai Nie looked at the ferocious face of the War God of Soldiers, and his heart sank.

For a moment, he felt as if countless citizens of Great Qin were wailing beneath that savage War God of Soldiers.

Perishing beneath this colossal demonic idol!

Imagining such a scene, Gai Nie felt his blood surge.

In his hand, the Yuan Hong Sword faintly held a ball of flame, steadily rising.

"No! I cannot let you have your way! Cannot let Cheng Jiao have his way.

Those with sense, clear a path, or don't blame Gai for showing no mercy beneath his sword."

At this moment, Gai Nie was filled with righteous fury, and his words brooked no doubt.

He was no longer acting on Qin Huang Ying Zheng's command, but for the welfare of all the people under heaven.

Any who dare block the way shall be slain without mercy!

In an instant, boundless killing intent gradually manifested from Gai Nie's body.

That killing intent, thick as substance, instantly transformed Gai Nie into a living God of Slaughter!

"How could it be… how can his killing intent be so dense? He's clearly been inside the Great Qin palace all along…"

Tian Hu also nurtured his own sword Qi with killing intent, so he understood killing intent best.

Seeing Gai Nie's such heaven-shocking killing intent, he was the first to feel utterly shocked.

Under all of heaven, who doesn't know that since Gai Nie entered Qin Ting twenty years ago, he has never left Qin Ting.

From then on, though Gai Nie still bore the title of Great Qin's Sword Saint, he rarely—almost never—struck again.

If he never struck, where did this killing intent come from?

One must know killing intent only comes from killing people—could Gai Nie have been killing people within Great Qin's Xianyanggong?

Is that possible?

"Well done, Gai Nie—I'll aid you!"

Sheng Qi was the second to react; he had once witnessed a scene of Gai Nie's such heaven-shocking killing intent.

The last time he dueled Gai Nie, it was after Gai Nie got serious that he was awed by this heaven-shocking killing intent and defeated.

Seeing Gai Nie's killing intent erupt once more, Sheng Qi was overjoyed.

He knew that, at last, this greatest of rivals had gotten serious.

After a great shout, Sheng Qi leveled his Juque Sword forward, then his whole body erupted with a startling momentum.

This momentum carried a sense of pressing forward irresistibly, unstoppable in its sweep.

The instant he charged, his matchless momentum crushed toward the eight experts of the Agricultural Family.

The eight great experts of the Agricultural Family truly had never seen Sheng Qi employ this move.

They still wished to use the Twenty-Four Earth Marshes to dissolve Sheng Qi's charging momentum.

But first, once Gai Nie's heaven-shocking killing intent was unleashed, it caused the Twenty-Four Earth Marshes to operate poorly.

Second, Sheng Qi's move—though called one move—was in truth a momentum formed by combining his cultivation, essence, Qi, and spirit!

Momentum like a bamboo splitting!

Even though none of the Agricultural Family's eight great experts were weak—among them Tian Ci was a Heavenly Being Realm expert, hailed as the Agricultural Family's number one expert—

Under Sheng Qi's fearless charge, they still retreated step by step.

The entire Twenty-Four Earth Marshes grand formation looked as if one more push would shatter it.

"Gai Nie, go…"

Sheng Qi's move was truly the essence of his lifetime cultivation.

After unleashing it, he too was utterly spent.

But he knew his task was to send Gai Nie into this palace.

So he strove to maintain this fearless charge, suppress the Agricultural Family's eight great experts, and urge Gai Nie to leave at once.

Gai Nie now knew that if the War God of Soldiers were activated,

at least within Great Qing's borders, countless common folk would likely suffer.

At this moment, he had not a shred of womanish compassion.

Everything blocking his path forward, he would cut down without hesitation!

Since Sheng Qi had already risked everything and temporarily suppressed Tian Hu and the others, Gai Nie also stirred his form, preparing to leave at once.

But just then, a wisp of pink bewitching smoke suddenly appeared before Gai Nie's eyes.

The next instant, Gai Nie sensed an attack coming at his lower back.

Without thinking, he used a vertical sword technique that defended while attacking.

Not only did he neutralize this sneak attack, he reversed his hand and drove the Yuan Hong Sword into that person's embrace.

Mmgh…

"Gai Nie, how cruel you are…"

Tian Mi's plaintive voice slowly drifted over.

Gai Nie looked back, and indeed saw the ambusher was Tian Mi.

It was only because the Yuan Hong Sword had broken off half a section that the thrust was not deep.

Only thus could Tian Mi cling to life.

"Why?"

Gai Nie asked coldly.

Obviously he was asking: since Tian Mi had already turned coat, why would she suddenly launch a sneak attack?

"Gai Nie, stop hesitating. A fickle, venomous woman like this — I knew long ago she couldn't be trusted.

How could someone like her really give up her own decision just because of a few words from you?

Go now, go now."

Before Tian Mi could answer, Hearing Sheng Qi's voice had already come.

Clearly he had seen through Tian Mi's thoughts, but he hadn't had time to tell Gai Nie, and didn't believe Gai Nie could really be successfully ambushed by Tian Mi.

Among the eight great experts of the Farmer Sect, not one was weak.

In a one-on-one fight, each could go over a hundred moves with Hearing Sheng Qi without a decisive winner.

Among them, Tian Ci could steadily hold the upper hand over Hearing Sheng Qi by a margin.

But now, borrowing Gai Nie and Xiao Jingtian's killing intent, Hearing Sheng Qi cleverly employed this charge of his — a Fearless Charge nearly on par with a true势 — and only thus temporarily suppressed them.

Yet in just this short while, the eight great experts were also constantly counterattacking with their momentum and cultivation.

Hearing Sheng Qi was already groaning inwardly, and to make matters worse Gai Nie had paused for a moment over the matter of Tian Mi, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to urge Gai Nie to leave at once.

Gai Nie watched the color draining rapidly from Tian Mi's face.

He knew that this sword, even though it had not struck her vital point, the killing intent had invaded her body — Tian Mi most likely would not survive.

He gave a faint sigh and said,

"When Heaven sends calamity, one may yet be forgiven!

When one brings calamity upon oneself, there is no living!

Gentlemen, farewell!"

After speaking, Gai Nie no longer hesitated.

This time, he directly employed the Gale Step.

His whole person slipped into another dimension, passing over the Farmer Sect experts and Hearing Sheng Qi, heading toward the interior of the palace.

As Gai Nie's figure vanished, Tian Hu could not contain himself and shouted,

"A-Yan, don't let Gai Nie get away — quick, quick, use the Face-Reading and Color-Observing art!"

Among the several hall masters of the Farmer Sect, Tian Hu was dead set on joining the Despair Shanzhuang.

Only because the Tiger Soul Sword in his hand, with the aid of the Despair Shanzhuang, had already reached the grade of a Heaven-grade divine weapon.

This point, he had told no one.

Therefore, toward Cheng Jiao and toward the Despair Shanzhuang, he was the most loyal.

If the Master Cheng Jiao were to learn that he had failed in his duty and failed to stop Gai Nie,

He feared that from then on, he would never again be trusted with important tasks.
