Over the years, Qin Shi had always been proud of his attainments in the physical body. With the help of the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Art, even an 8-day expert might not necessarily be able to defeat him.
But in that short exchange, War Venerate Serene Wind had actually broken through his defenses.
Moreover, that wasn't the most important thing. The main reason why Qin Shi's heart was shaken was that when Broken Water and the Dragon Engraved Blade collided, another crack had appeared on Broken Water's blade.
It had to be known that Water Breaker was a famous weapon at the peak of the world, and it had been in his hands for nearly a year. During that year, the only time he had failed was when he used Haoyue's Love Severing Sword, which was one of the eighteen swords that protected Sword Sect.
Qin Shi's expression turned serious, and a layer of green light flashed between his thumb and forefinger. The wound there was quickly healed by the Sweet Torrential Rain Dew. He looked at War Venerate Serene Wind and said, "As expected of the Holy Wind Nation's Protector General."
Clearly, War Venerate Serene Wind was quite surprised that Qin Shi could block his attack. He sneered, "Haha, kid, you're not bad to be able to block my attack. No wonder the Sacred Wind Emperor listed you as the most dangerous person in the Hundred Tides."
Qin Shi shrugged. "It's my honor that the Sacred Wind Emperor has such an evaluation of me."
"Honor?
Haha, you really don't know what's good for you. "
War Venerate Serene Wind's expression turned ruthless. He waved his hand and the blade in his hand cut through the sky. A bright red blade light soared into the sky.
War Venerate Serene Wind's laughter grew wilder as he watched the blade light rise. "Keke, kid, to tell you the truth, I really didn't expect that you would dare to come to the Sacred Wind Empire even though you know that you're surrounded by enemies. But since you're here, then I'll leave you here today."
Bang!
In an instant, the blade aura exploded like fireworks, causing a huge cloud of smoke to rise. At the same time as the smoke, the Qiang flutes rose from beyond the Great Wall. Deafening roars soon rang out from the encampment of the Sacred Wind Army that Qin Shi had passed through, followed by the flames of war. The spiritual pressure from nearly ten thousand Cryptic Realm cultivators caused even the earth to tremble.
From Qin Shi's point of view, the interior of the Sacred Wind Empire was also a sea of red. Almost every city was ignited with the flames of war. It was as if all the armies of the Sacred Wind Empire, which covered an area of millions of miles, were aiming their spears at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi frowned. "Is there really an ambush?"
"Brat, you're dead!"
When the fireworks spread the news, the Serene Wind War Venerate shot towards Qin Shi. The blade in his hand was like a bold and decisive axe that kept hacking at Qin Shi.
Bang, bang, bang!
As soon as he arrived, he slashed three times in a row.
Each of these three slashes had a force of 500 kilograms, and the attack was extremely simple and violent. It was as if he was slashing at Qin Shi from a high altitude. It felt as if he was trying to split Mount Hua.
This made Qin Shi very passive under the blade. He quickly waved Broken Water and blocked the three slashes in a row. After that, he found that his little arm had become numb.
"Brat, I was born with divine strength and have also cultivated the Sky Piercing Ape Arms. My arm strength is hundreds of times that of ordinary people. Do you think you can stop me with your small arms and legs?
Wishful thinking! "
After the three slashes, the Serene Wind War Venerate's fighting spirit became even stronger. He suddenly grabbed the giant blade with both hands, stuck it at his waist, and swept it towards Qin Shi.
Seeing this scene, Qin Shi's eyes darkened. "Damn it, he really is a martial artist!"
As Lin Yu had said, the Serene Wind War Venerate was a ruthless person. He was a standard martial artist. Not only did he like fighting, but his methods were also vicious.
Logically speaking, martial artists should be the easiest to deal with. However, Qin Shi only wanted to stall for time and attract more troops. Martial artists had become the biggest problem.
Bang!
The Serene Wind War Venerate's attack collided with Qin Shi's Broken Water. This time, Qin Shi found it very difficult to defend. However, the Serene Wind War Venerate didn't give up. After his attack was interrupted, he took advantage of the rebound force to raise his blade high and stab at Qin Shi's chest.
Qin Shi was startled. His mind power was highly concentrated, so he had sensed the Serene Wind War Venerate's actions the moment the Serene Wind War Venerate had attacked. The Serene Wind War Venerate's attack was aimed at his heart. He wanted to take his life.
Unfortunately, the Serene Wind War Venerate's attack had temporarily paralyzed his arm. By the time the paralysis effect dissipated, it was already too late for him to resist.
"Qin Shi!" Hua Ling shouted in alarm.
At this time, on the other side, lights and shadows flickered, and one figure after another pierced through the void. Outside the Great Wall, inside the city, tens of thousands of Holy Wind Army troops were already approaching the border, and the generals of each military region had already appeared on both sides of the battlefield.
Among them, there was no lack of troops sent by Chao Shengfeng from the Cloud Sea Alliance. The person closest to Hua Ling was an old man named Yun Ge. Four days later: "If you have the time to worry about others, worry about yourself first. Hua Ling, I want you to pay with your life for the death of the Cloud Sea Emperor!"
Hua Ling glared at the old man. "You overestimate yourself!"
"Hundred Flowers Wither!"
Thousands of withered vines appeared out of thin air and pierced the old man's chest.
Pfft! Pfft!
Immediately, Yun Ge and the remaining Yunhai Emperor's troops behind him were annihilated.
This caused many soldiers to frown. For a moment, they didn't dare to take a step forward. "What a vicious woman."
Since they didn't dare to take a step forward, Hua Ling didn't chase after them. Instead, she looked at Qin Shi and saw that the blade was about to pierce Qin Shi's chest. She bit her lips hard and thought to herself, "Although you didn't let me take action, I also said that I won't allow you to die!"
Thinking of this, she didn't care about her promise to Qin Shi. Her jade-like body flipped gracefully in the air and a withered rose appeared in her hand. She threw it in the direction of War Venerate Ghost Wind.
Pa!
Unexpectedly, the space in front of her fluctuated a few times the moment the rose left her hand. A large hand reached out from a crack and grabbed the rose.
"Huh?"
Hua Ling's heart sank. A power that could tear apart space was beyond what she could handle.
But when she saw the sleeve of that big hand, she was suddenly startled. There was a special lace on that black cuff, and from that lace, she found it somewhat familiar. Wasn't that Yu Luocha's hand?
"Qin Shi?" She couldn't help but snort.
At this moment, Qin Shi's figure came out from the crack in space. He crushed the rose in his hand and smiled. "I already told you that you don't need to interfere. Why are you still so disobedient despite being such an adult?"
"I …!"
Hua Lingyu was at a loss for words. Her beautiful eyes looked up strangely and landed on the figure that was being suppressed by War Sage Serene Wind. "Is that your avatar?"
Qin Shi nodded with a smile. In truth, when the two of them left the valley, Qin Shi's telekinesis clone had been following Hua Ling. His main body had been hidden in the void behind the two of them through the Blood Shaman. If it weren't for the urgency just now, he wouldn't have exposed himself.
Through the information transmitted by his clone, he had a clear understanding of War Venerate Ghost Wind's strength. Given War Venerate Ghost Wind's strength, Hua Ling wouldn't be able to withstand even a casual attack.
Bang!
At this time, War Venerate Ghost Wind's blade had already pierced through Qin Shi's clone. He couldn't help but look up at the sky and laugh. "Haha, what bullshit Qin Sect Master? He's just a piece of trash. I killed him just like that."
Amidst his laughter, the border of the huge Holy Wind was dead silent. The group of generals looked at each other, and no one made a sound.
War Venerate Ghost Wind's face sank. "What?
I killed this brat, shouldn't you celebrate for me?
What are you all standing around for? "
After being shouted at, the group of soldiers recovered. A withered monkey-like figure moved in front of War Venerate Ghost Wind. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said timidly, "Sir War Venerate, look over there."
"Huh?"
War Venerate Ghost Wind turned his head in confusion. When he saw Qin Shi standing with Hua Ling, his expression changed. "You didn't die?"
"Was I discovered?"
Qin Shi helplessly laughed bitterly. He patted Hua Ling's shoulder and said, "Remember my words. Do not interfere at any time. Because everything you see might not be real."
Then, his body flickered and he appeared in front of War Venerate Ghost Wind. He pulled out Broken Water and said to War Venerate Ghost Wind, "Haha, did you have a good time fighting with my clone?"
"Brat, you dare play with me?"
War Venerate Ghost Wind was extremely arrogant. When he realized that he had been humiliated by Qin Shi, his anger surged. He raised his giant blade and slashed at Qin Shi. "I want you dead!"
War Venerate Ghost Wind seemed to have gone crazy. The giant blade in his hand was like a cutting machine as he swung it at Qin Shi.
Every strike carried the weight of five thousand catties.
Qin Shi was also very at ease as he continued to attack. Beneath his feet was a web of lightning. Although War Venerate Serene Wind was fast, it was also because of this that the inertia of each attack was very strong. Even he couldn't control it, so he was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of speed.
Qin Shi had seen through this point during the clash between War Venerate Ghost Wind's clone and War Venerate Ghost Wind. Qin Shi had grasped this point and relied on his lightning-attributed speed to move around War Venerate Ghost Wind.
Bang! Bang!
They had just started, but they had already exchanged a hundred moves. In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, the tens of thousands of spectators were all shocked. They secretly exclaimed, "What fast speed, what terrifying strength."
"Is this really a fight between humans?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
War Venerate Ghost Wind, who had originally held the upper hand, had lost his advantage during this stalemate. He couldn't bear the huge disparity. Suddenly, his body froze. He stopped the blade that was in the middle of swinging. The veins on his arms bulged as he slashed at Qin Shi's forehead. "Brat, aren't you good at hiding?
Let's see where you can hide this time! "
