Chapter 646

Recalling everything that had happened here, Xiao Shiyilang could not help but believe it.

"You're my father?"

Xiao Shiyilang's face was filled with shock as he looked at the man and asked.

"You little bastard, how could you be so stupid! Announcing your name and lineage at a time like this — aren't you screwing your own father over?"

The man practically admitted it, tore off his face veil in one motion, and snapped at Xiao Shiyilang in irritation.

"So, you are Xiao Shiyilang!"

Bai Qi's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Xiao Shiyilang and laughed.

"Lord Wu'an! Must you really force Xiao to such a desperate pass?"

Xiao Pei asked one final question.

"I know you can wield the Deer-Slaying Blade. How about giving it a try — let's see if you can break this General's barrier.

If you can break it, this General will leave immediately!"

Bai Qi understood what Xiao Pei meant and said it outright.

"Fine! Lord Wu'an, here I come!"

Xiao Pei roared, channeling every last drop of true essence in his body, and drew the Deer-Slaying Blade.

Earlier, whether it was Bai Yang, Lü Liu, or Shen Bijun, none of them could so much as budge it. Xiao Shiyilang could pull it out, but it was nothing more than a rusted, useless blade.

Yet this useless blade, once it reached Xiao Pei's hands, was drawn from its sheath with great difficulty — and on the blade's body, a seven-colored flowing radiance suddenly shimmered.

As the Deer-Slaying Blade was drawn inch by inch from its sheath, that seven-colored radiance grew ever more brilliant.

In the end, it nearly covered Bai Qi's blood-colored barrier entirely.

Bai Qi's face turned ashen; he had long heard of the Deer-Slaying Blade's fearsome reputation.

He knew that in the hands of the Blade-Guarding Clan, this blade could unleash its greatest power.

But he never imagined that Xiao Pei, a mere Heavenly Being Realm cultivator, could draw the Deer-Slaying Blade with such terrifying might.

If he were allowed to wield the Deer-Slaying Blade and pair it with the corresponding techniques...

Wouldn't his blood-colored barrier be broken?

No!

The great plan for Great Qin's revival must not fail because of him!

Bai Qi's face was set with resolve as he looked toward a squad of Qin Ruishi beside him.

"For Great Qin!"

Seeing Bai Qi's gaze, this squad of Qin Ruishi immediately understood his meaning.

They tore off their helmets and shouted in unison.

"Brothers, in the next life let them carve me into a thousand pieces. Bai Qi thanks you on behalf of Great Qin."

Bai Qi roared, his tiger-like eyes brimming with hot tears. He then raised his God-Slaying Sword and struck out with one slash.

The heads of this squad of Qin Ruishi were severed clean off.

Scalding hot blood shot skyward, then under Bai Qi's control, poured directly into the blood-colored barrier.

As the hot blood of these Qin Ruishi flowed in, the blood-colored barrier — which had already been on the verge of collapse — gradually steadied itself once more.

455 We've held the Qinglong Society!

"Good, what fine Great Qin Ruishi, what a fine Great Qin God of Slaughter!"

Xiao Pei was drenched in sweat at this moment. Clearly, as a member of the Blade-Guarding Clan, though he could wield this divine weapon, the Deer-Slaying Blade...

His cultivation was simply too low, and the backlash from the precious blade was more than he could bear.

Seeing the Qin Ruishi use their heads and hot blood to reinforce the blood-colored barrier...

Xiao Pei praised them loudly, then unleashed the first stance of the Deer-Slaying Blade.

The Deer-Slaying Blade, a mere three feet long, under Xiao Pei's guidance, delivered a light slash.

And on the ground of this desolate valley, countless wild grasses suddenly sprouted.

These wild grasses shot up like mad, rapidly growing taller, and finally, among the grasses, countless fresh flowers appeared.

With the emergence of the wild grasses and fresh flowers...

The blood-colored barrier, which had just been infused with the Qin Ruishi's hot blood, began to show signs of instability.

On one side, boundless vitality; on the other, surging killing intent.

Though the Deer-Slaying Blade was a blade, its first move was actually one of infinite vitality!

The blood-colored barrier, brimming with killing intent, once again teetered on the brink of collapse!

"General! Great Qin, ten thousand years!"

Two more squads of Qin Ruishi removed their helmets.

"Brothers, walk well!"

Bai Qi, eyes brimming with hot tears, secretly regretted in his heart that he had underestimated the Deer-Slaying Blade.

He should never have boasted that he would let Xiao Pei go if the blood-colored barrier was broken.

Without that promise holding him back, if Bai Qi had unleashed the God-Slaying Sword Art combined with the blood-colored barrier and the Way of Slaughter...

Even with the Deer-Slaying Blade in hand, how could Xiao Pei possibly be his match?

Unfortunately, Bai Qi had grown careless.

And he was the Lord Wu'an, a man who placed immense weight on his word!

He swung his sword once more, beheading two squads of Qin Ruishi, and hot blood surged skyward.

As the hot blood of the two squads of Qin Ruishi poured in, the ground that had been brimming with vitality...

Suddenly seemed to have its life force drained dry — the fresh flowers wilted rapidly, and the wild grasses withered away.

"No! If this continues, Father will lose."

Xiao Shiyilang had seen that there were still over ten squads of Qin Ruishi left.

Xiao Pei clenched his teeth tightly, clearly having expended tremendous energy just to unleash this first move.

If Bai Qi had not kept his promise, Xiao Pei would already have been defeated.

"Siniang, take Shen Bijun and leave first!"

After speaking, Xiao Shiyilang charged straight toward the Qin Ruishi without regard for his own safety.

He only thought that if he could hold them off, or even kill some of the Qin Ruishi,

he could divert Bai Qi's attention.

Then his father's pressure would ease significantly.

Perhaps, they could survive this disaster.

Though this father had appeared suddenly, Xiao Shiyilang knew without doubt that this was truly his father.

"Overreaching!"

Bai Qi sneered, letting out a cold snort.

Then a squad of Ruishi galloped forward directly.

These Qin Ruishi who had followed Bai Qi here in search of the Cutting Deer Blade were elites among elites.

Ordinary Ruishi were all Master-level experts.

Squad leaders were even Grand Master-level experts.

Xiao Shiyilang was merely a Master-level expert—he was nothing more than a lowly soldier among these Ruishi.

Now, in his overreaching charge, the Qin Ruishi showed not the slightest carelessness.

An entire squad moved in perfect unison, charging and slashing toward Xiao Shiyilang.

It seemed likely that in a single round, they would cut him down from his horse.

"You damn fool, are you mad?"

Xiao Pei felt both joy and utter horror.

How could this newly recognized adoptive son be so reckless?

Could anyone compare to the Qin Ruishi who rode beside Bai Qi?

But Xiao Pei was now pinned down by Bai Qi's blood-colored barrier, unable to break free.

He could only watch helplessly as his foolish son charged headlong toward the Qin Ruishi.

"Shiyilang!"

Feng Siniang grew frantic, no longer caring about Shen Bijun.
