Light Cultivation
Eps. 252 — Outdoor Border City
"Is this just your ability?" Wu Yi laughed mockingly seeing Lun Zhi already cornered with breaths of gasping.
Lun Zhi's body was covered in sword wounds while fighting Wu Yi, the problem was that the retired swordsman was helped by 6 Hampa Realm warriors to fight him.
"You criminals are shameless, aren't you? Didn't you say you wanted to fight one on one..." Lun Zhi spat out the blood coming out of her mouth while smiling mockingly.
Wu Yi let out a cold snort, he did not answer it but rather swung his sword which created a sword wave.
The sword wave was filled with great deep strength, Lun Zhi had to hold back with all her strength to withstand the attack, Even if she managed to hold it with her staff she remained pushed a few steps.
Lun Zhi's breathing was already disjointed while he had yet to find a way to win the fight or escape his opponent.
On the other hand he also thought about the condition of his troops who were increasingly cornered. As a result of the large number of opponents, the Imperial army was pushed back to the city fortress.
If this condition persists then it is only a matter of time that the Imperial forces are defeated and the organizational forces infiltrate the city.
"What my life can only get here..."
Lun Zhi smiled bitterly considering her current condition. The rest of his internal energy was already used to stop the bleeding in his body. He can only defend and can no longer counter-attack.
As despair began to engulf his heart, at the moment when all hope had dissipated, a red fire-shaped sword energy, struck the organization army and burst out powerfully.
The explosion sounded loud, killing at least a dozen of the organization's garrisoned troops.
Undone they knew of the explosion, another sword energy came from behind and killed dozens of other troops.
Wu Yi's expression worsened, his hands clenched violently and his emotions peaked. He wanted to curse at the person attacking from behind but his words got stuck in his throat when he saw the culprit.
"Can't be?! How did you get here?" Wu Yi did not seem to care anymore about the injured Lun Zhi and could be finished off at any time, the old man's face was filled with fear upon seeing Jian Chen.
On the other hand Lun Zhi was just as surprised when he saw Jian Chen, he thought the young man would not help him and chose to leave.
"Why? Of course I'll take care of you and this time I'll make sure you never get away with it again..." Jian Chen unsheathed his Asura sword, aiming at the Death Swordsman.
Wu Yi gulped and broke out in cold sweat, he had already faced Jian Chen once and he was sure dealing with back was not a wise thing.
Wu Yi gave instructions to the six Empty Realm warriors to come forward and busied Jian Chen.
The six Empty Realm warriors had yet to figure out Jian Chen's strength while they also could not palpate his cultivation. The six of them advanced and at that moment Wu Yi immediately turned around and intended to leave.
Jian Chen smiled sinisterly, one that was beyond Wu Yi's calculations, Jian Chen paid no heed to the six warriors who approached him. He quickly chased after Wu Yi before the old man moved quite a distance.
Wu Yi was not a swordsman who had high speed, plus he had already fought heavily tonight so in a few blinks Jian Chen's eyes had caught up with him.
Jian Chen stood before Wu Yi with a wide smile. "I told you, you won't be able to run this time..."
Wu Yi clenched his teeth. "You think I can't fight you?"
Jian Chen poured a great deep energy into the asura sword, the red-colored sword had now shone into a blackish purple as a result of the energy flowed within Lily.
Without waiting any longer for Jian Chen to advance first, Wu Yi bit his lips, despite the doubt he had no other choice but to fight back. Wu Yi held his sword even tighter and clashed with Jian Chen.
The skill of the retired swordsman was very different from Jian Chen in addition to his opponent using an asura sword, it did not take him long to be bounced and spew blood.
"Wait a minute, don't kill me! If you ask for something I'll give you whatever you want, please don't kill me..." The old man screamed, his whole life was only the first time he was close to death like this.
Jian Chen who was approaching him stopped his steps. He thought for a while before shaking slowly. "Sadly, I don't need anything anymore..."
"I-I have big money in my college, the power of some village and I can also be your subordinate. Please..."
Jian Chen smiled mockingly, he did not reply and continued to continue his steps which made the old man break out in a cold sweat.
"Stop-stop! If you kill me then two Shios will come and make a reckoning for my death. You won't be able to run away from them even if you hide at the end of the world..."
Feeling that his offer was not working, Wu Yi instead turned around and threatened Jian Chen, just that no matter how much the old man spoke Jian Chen looked unconcerned.
Jian Chen had finally stood nearby. "Are there any last words?"
"Wait a minute, you can't kill me. I'll-..."
Jian Chen smiled coldly, in a flash his sword had already slipped out of its sheath and separated Wu Yi's neck from its place.
The swordsman of death did not even have time to look at Jian Chen's sword as he knew his head was already rolling to the ground.
Lun Zhi saw it becoming trembling and a little frightened, he could see Jian Chen smiling profusely in satisfaction at Wu Yi's death.
Generally, criminal warriors were often hesitant in taking lives, only a handful of assassins enjoyed killing and Jian Chen was not one of the two.
It was hard to say Jian Chen was on his side but Lun Zhi could only accept the fact that Jian Chen was currently helping to save the city.
"Broker Jian, thank you for helping me..." Lun Zhi now bowed her body respectfully, hiding fear from her facial expression.
"Pendekar Lun, we postpone it first, this war is far from over..." Jian Chen appointed an army of organizations as well as six Hampa Realm warriors nearby.
Jian Chen gave the pill bottle to Lun Zhi in order to heal the wounds engraved on his body. Without waiting any longer, Jian Chen moved to the 6 Hampa Realm warriors who would briefly run away.
The six swordsmen clearly knew the situation, after Jian Chen could kill a death swordsman for only a matter of seconds then killing them was not a difficult matter.
The six of them were about to run but Jian Chen's flying speed could catch up to him briefly.
Jian Chen let go of his coldness which made the six of them unable to move and pecked at where he stood, he then swung the Asura sword forcefully, splitting the bodies of those poor Hampa Realm warriors one by one.
Jian Chen smiled widely after killing all six, the asura sword spontaneously instantly gave off a sensation of passion after killing them.
