The air froze, and a bone-piercing chill came from all directions.
Li Jing turned his head and looked up. Under the moonlight, a middle-aged man with two swords on his back stood on a branch high up in the sky. He was holding a dead body in his left hand.
There were so many corpses here that they shouldn't have attracted attention, but the one in the middle-aged man's hand was really eye-catching. This was because the one who died was Fierce Tiger's number one swordsman, Huang Hu, who was nominally the strongest in the Shang Party!
The swordsman who had been able to fight him to a standstill had suddenly become a corpse in the hands of an ordinary looking uncle. Not to mention the others, even Li Jing was a little surprised. This time, he had probably met a true expert. In the end, he did not disappoint.
"His swordsmanship is passable, and he is a famous swordsman. However, he fled without fighting. He is not worthy of living in this world as a swordsman.”The middle-aged man threw the corpse away and appeared on the ground in the blink of an eye.
He didn't pull out his sword. Just by standing in front of everyone, everyone felt an overwhelming pressure, especially the cold eyes of the snake. Just one look from him made them feel as if their blood was frozen.
It was gloomy and hid a bloodthirsty red light.
Violet Maiden and Little Grass stepped forward and stood on Li Jing's left and right respectively. They were extremely solemn, especially Little Grass. Her hand that was holding the bronze sword was trembling, but she forced herself not to retreat.
"Young Master Jing, he, he is Xuan Jian, we can't beat him.”Xiao Cao's voice was filled with deep fear.
"Yue Ba's Sword, Xuan Jian, that cold-blooded thief? How did you get here?"
When Violet Girl heard Xuan Jian's name, she was also extremely uneasy. A person's name was like a tree's shadow. There would always be a few people in the martial world who would make people feel fear when they heard of them. Xuan Jian was one of them. Even though this was just the name of a pair of swords, it was bestowed with a terrifying ferocity.
When Li Jing heard this, he was even more surprised. This uncle was Xuan Jian?
Back then when he studied the Yue Ba Sword, other than the Six Sword Slaves and the rather mysterious Startling Salamander, Xuan Jian was also one of them. It was also the name of the famous sword he owned.
He was once a cold-blooded thief who killed without batting an eye. He was once willing to give up his life of bloodshed for the woman he loved, but because he saw his beloved wife and child being killed with his own eyes, he was helpless and went crazy again. His personality became colder and his killing intent became stronger. From then on, he developed a mentality similar to 'revenge on the world', and launched several shocking massacres.
There were swordsmen who went to kill him in the name of 'righteousness', but none of them survived. Even hundreds and thousands of cavalry could not stop him from killing his targets.
"I won't kill the women and children. The rest of you can die here.”Xuan Jian said lightly. His pupils seemed to have no focus and he looked straight ahead, as if no one could enter his eyes.
In an instant, he moved. Most of the people present couldn't even see his shadow. They only felt a chill on their necks, and blood spurted out without any regard for their lives. People kept falling to the ground, struggling for a while before dying.
Among the subordinates that Violet Maiden had brought with her, those who were still alive were all experts, but now, they did not even have the slightest strength to resist. All of them were waiting to be slaughtered.
Not long after, they were all dead. Apart from a few women, there was also Li Jing. Even Lan Hu's head was cut off by Xuan Jian's sword.
Even if Lan Hu's injuries had yet to recover, at least his foundation was still there. Yet, he was still killed by a single sword. This Xuan Jian did not let down his reputation at all. He killed without blinking his eyes and was extremely powerful. As for not killing women and children, it was most likely because he missed his deceased wife and children.
"You can leave. Although I don't kill women and children, I didn't say that I won't hurt them!”Xuan Jian sheathed his two swords and said coldly with his back facing the few of them.
"Uncle, I'm not a woman. I'm almost thirteen years old, and I'm no longer a child. Moreover, I want your sword. It's one of the eight swords of Yue Ba.”Li Jing suddenly said these words in this somber atmosphere, his expression so relaxed that it was out of place with the surrounding environment.
Violet Maiden and Little Grass, who had just relaxed, became nervous again when they heard him say that.
"You're still young and have a good foundation. You still have a bright future waiting for you, so why are you in such a hurry to seek death?”Xuan Jian still had his back facing him. His back was as dark as the night as he sighed.
"You are very strong, but I might not die.”
Li Jing raised his blood-stained dark red iron sword and turned to the two women beside him.""Violet Maiden, Little Grass, you guys go first. I'll come and find you when I get what I want.”
"You can't beat him. Don't lose your life in vain. It's not too late to challenge him again in ten years.”Violet Maiden stepped forward and pulled his shoulder.
"Young Master Jing." Little Grass also tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"You don't understand my world!"
The words that came out from between his teeth seemed to have magic. Li Jing's killing intent burst out from his body, and his aura went berserk, forcing Violet Maiden and Little Grass back. His eyes suddenly became slightly narrow, and his pupils were so dark that they absorbed the surrounding light.
"A real man lives in this world to climb the insurmountable peaks in the eyes of the secular world and stand at the peak of the era! Now that there was one in front of me, you want me to give up without even trying?! What logic was that! If I really don't even have the courage to try, I might as well die!”
He condensed his aura. After he finished speaking, his aura condensed to the extreme.
"Catch it, instant kill!" Li Jing stabbed straight at the black figure. The air was cut apart, and it was like a mighty torrent.
Swoosh!
His speed suddenly increased, and he shot forward like lightning. In the dark night, the scarlet iron sword was like the scythe of the Grim Reaper.
Terrifying energy whistled through the air. Li Jing had used all of his strength in this sword attack. It was the strongest attack apart from his final killing move. The surrounding wind whimpered, as if it was mourning for the dead.
This time was a challenge, a challenge where he gambled his life. Xuan Jian had his back facing him and looked down on him. This undoubtedly gave him a bit more confidence to succeed in the challenge.
But in the end, just as the sword edge was about to touch, Xuan Jian's figure, who had his back facing him, swayed and took a strange step forward. Without even looking, he dodged his Instant Killing Sword. It was so easy that it made one's hair stand on end.
"He's really terrifyingly powerful." Li Jing sighed lightly. He twisted his Qi and condensed it into a shape. He swung his iron sword behind him with a smile on his face.
