Chapter 73

"Since that's the case, then forgive me!"

The masked man let out a helpless sigh.

Even before the fight began, he understood he was no match for his opponent.

But the Female Emperor must not be insulted!

If he didn't even exchange a single move and let the Fire Lingzhi be taken away.

Wouldn't that be disgracing the Female Emperor?!

Once the news got back.

At that time, would he still have any good end to eat?

Moreover.

As a member of Bu Liang Ren.

A trusted force directly under the Female Emperor.

A court organization that stood above Great Tang Jianghu.

They too had their own pride!

Having said that.

The masked man's whole body trembled as a powerful aura erupted explosively.

"Early-stage Peerless?"

"One of the Yuan Tiangang Thirty-Six Stars?"

"Very well, you're worthy of offering your blood to my sword!"

Yan Shisan's brows lifted slightly.

He let out a cold laugh and drew the Bone Venom Sword.

Perhaps.

Only when killing.

Would he show a smile!

And those who had seen his smile had basically all perished!

"One sword!"

"If you can take one sword from me, you may live!"

He raised the Bone Venom Sword in his hand.

Yan Shisan said coldly.

Between every line and word, it brimmed with incomparable confidence.

Having spoken.

Not waiting for the masked man's reply.

Yan Shisan flicked his wrist and thrust his sword straight forward.

This sword.

Its light was restrained, looking plain and unadorned.

It seemed as though anyone could make the same motion!

However.

In the masked man's eyes.

This utterly ordinary sword.

Seemed to transform into a venomous serpent choosing its prey to devour!

Making one dare not make any rash moves!

Most importantly.

At this moment, he clearly had tens of thousands of ways to block this sword.

Yet deep in his heart, there was always a feeling that he could neither match it nor avoid it.

As though no matter how he blocked, this sword would pierce him!

Before he could decide how to respond.

A cold flash of light flickered before his eyes.

Then he felt a sharp pain in his chest!

He instinctively lowered his head to look.

Staring at the blade that had already entered his body.

A trace of horror hung on his face.

His tone was full of disbelief.

"Thirteen Life-Stealing Swords... you... you're Yan Shisan!"

Once the words fell.

His pupils dilated.

He lost his vitality!

Silence!

Quiet!

Utterly quiet!

At this moment.

The field was so silent one could hear a pin drop!

Watching Yan Shisan finish off the masked man with such a clean, decisive sword strike.

Whether it was the Nine Heavens Sacred Ji, Zhang Zifan, or Hei Bai Wuchang and the others.

Every single one of them wore a look of utter shock!

In their hearts, they couldn't help but feel a chill of dread!

"Ten breaths are up — the Fire Lingzhi, or death?!"

Yan Shisan took out the rag he carried on him, already so black that not a trace of white could be seen.

Casually wiping the blood from the Bone-Poison Sword as he spoke indifferently.

Hearing this.

The Nine Heavens Sacred Ji sighed softly in her heart, a wry smile on her face.

Signaling Ji Ruxue to hand over the Fire Lingzhi.

There was no choice.

The situation was stronger than people!

Although she was somewhat unwilling.

Seeing the Nine Heavens Sacred Ji give her assent, Ji Ruxue could only hand over the Fire Lingzhi helplessly.

In the distance.

Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan, who had witnessed this scene.

Whether in body or in spirit.

Were both struck by an intense shock!

Especially Lu Linxuan, who bore a blood-deep vendetta.

After the shock, her eyes filled with longing!

If she herself could be this strong, what would there be to fear from Hei Bai Wuchang?!

And precisely because of this.

A trace of her aura inadvertently leaked out.

Although she quickly concealed it again.

It was still caught by Yan Shisan.

He gave a soft exclamation of surprise, his figure flashed, and in an instant he vanished from where he stood.

"Not good!"

Li Xingyun's heart gave a sudden lurch.

His face changed drastically along with it.

He reached out, about to grab Lu Linxuan and flee far away.
