543: Chapter 90: Birth or Perishment 543: Chapter 90: Birth or Perishment In mid-air, golden blood is splashed!
Xie Xuanyi twists his waist and dodges to the side, avoiding the horizontal slash, but his Golden Body is truly cleaved open—
“Ugh.”
A muffled grunt, Xie Xuanyi bursts back into the shadows of the mountain forest.
Is this kid so fast?
Meng Kejian sheathes his blade, standing amid the Iron Cavalry with a grim expression, as the air is filled with a faint bloody aura.
Merely in an initial clash, the over twenty Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry soldiers he mobilized on the spot were all slashed down, leaving only eleven trusted aides of Yuzi Camp.
The swordsmanship of Xie Zhen somewhat exceeded his expectations.
Is this really the Sword Dao realm that a youth from the Cave Heaven Realm is capable of comprehending?
A sword drawn to kill, without the slightest delay.
Admittedly, he has advanced into the Yin God Realm.
But killing and saving are two completely unrelated matters…
In terms of killing, Meng Kejian is adept.
In terms of saving, he truly lacks experience.
If Xie Zhen were to thrust the Flying Sword directly at him, this battle would have no trouble at all.
One-on-one confrontation, no matter how powerful the Cave Heaven Realm is, Meng Kejian would not be at a disadvantage.
But this kid, obviously, has resolved to engage in a battle of attrition with him.
He wants to exchange injuries for lives, to eliminate all Yuzi Camp Iron Cavalry!
This idea seems absurd, but what’s more ridiculous is…
Meng Kejian has no good countermeasures!
He kills Xie Xuanyi, Xie Xuanyi resists hard!
Xie Xuanyi kills, he can’t stop it!
“Xie Zhen, I know you’ve comprehended the ‘Principle of Life’…”
Meng Kejian narrows his eyes, slowly surveying the surroundings, attempting to coax with flattery: “But my ‘Que Wu Blade’ has been Poisoned with Bone-dissolving Powder, the Great General has harbored mercy out of appreciation for your talent, and has not issued a death order against you, only ordering me to lead the Iron Cavalry to take you back to camp.
If you are willing to show yourself, I can give you the antidote!”
“…”
In the mountain forest, silence reigns, without any response.
Xie Xuanyi of course does not believe the words uttered by Meng Kejian.
That guy at Duanchang Cliff had stood by indifferently, not because of mercy…
He silently lowers his head, inspecting the wound on his back; the cut from that strike was exceedingly deep, Meng Kejian must have harbored the intent to kill.
If he reveals himself now, he fears there can only be one outcome—death.
The Principle of Life flickers between Xie Xuanyi’s brows.
He stimulates the Life Dao, covering the wounded area.
The Bone-dissolving Powder from the Que Wu Blade is corroding flesh and blood, the Principle of Life placed upon it causes a violent reaction.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”
This pain pierces to the marrow, yet Xie Xuanyi bears it forcefully, not making a sound.
Within the Dantian, the Undying Spring begins to operate, streams of vapor evaporate, but they can hardly reduce the pain at all—
This poisoned strike from the Yin God Realm indeed is not light!
Pain thrusts into the Heart Lake.
Xie Xuanyi becomes even more calm, his focus intensifies…
From the previous exchange, Xie Xuanyi has discerned Meng Kejian’s skills, his plan in mind grows clearer; after a few moments, Xie Xuanyi quickly changes position, finding an excellent spot, he does not hesitate and thrusts out the second sword!
“Buzz!”
The well-prepared Yuzi Camp once again plunges into chaos.
A Flying Sword, once again appears out of nowhere!
Still a piece of green bamboo, casually broken and sharpened—
“Boom, boom, boom!”
This time, Meng Kejian momentarily locks onto the direction of the Sword Qi, but he does not rush to move, instead he sidesteps to the nearest aide to block this sword alone, he sweeps his sleeve heavily with Powerful Energy to shatter the bamboo.
Meng Kejian sneers: “Unwilling to come out?
It seems you prefer punishment over a toast!”
No sooner are the words spoken.
The sound of the third Flying Sword cleaving the air immediately follows!
This time, it’s no longer just one sword!
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”
Xie Xuanyi begins to run, he weaves rapidly through the dense forest, with astonishing speed, at every spot he breaks off dead branches, kicking them out with explosive force, as each makeshift Flying Sword, imbued with the “Rule of Destruction”, scatter towards the Yuzi Camp Iron Cavalry from all directions…
Meng Kejian’s expression grows exceedingly ugly.
Although Xie Zhen’s speed is fast, it cannot escape his encompassing Divine Thought in the Yin God Realm.
If he wishes, he can instantly pursue and strike a fatal blow.
Only, the “lesson” from before is rather severe, leaving Meng Kejian temporarily hesitant.
The previous trick led him astray, in just a moment, the Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry were all gone—
What’s left now,
Are his trusted aides cultivated for many years!
To save them, or to kill?
In a fraction of a moment, Meng Kejian makes a choice, he also starts to run, his figure darts rapidly, drawing a circle around the Iron Cavalry, his hands rise, swift as a butterfly flitting among flowers, a series of phantoms flash by, these bamboo Flying Swords approach rapidly, and leave even faster, Meng Kejian alone waves his sleeves, shattering all these dozens of Flying Swords—
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Meng Kejian alone shatters all the Flying Swords.
But by doing so, he falls into a pointless struggle.
The tense string in Xie Xuanyi’s heart relaxes a bit, this is the best scenario he had envisioned, without equal.
He chose to attack proactively, just to buy enough time for the Transmission Array Talisman of Little Desolate Mountain!
If Meng Kejian is willing to consume time for these aides,
Then this battle can pass peacefully!
Once the Array Talisman is complete, Xie Xuanyi will leave immediately!
For a moment,
Iron Cavalry, Meng Kejian, Xie Xuanyi, three form a line.
Ink-like arrow rain is entirely blocked.
Xie Xuanyi, tireless, runs rapidly.
Meng Kejian appears to be “exhausted by the pursuit”, constantly darting, cleaning up the aftermath.
“…This child is actually so cunning!”
A moment later, Meng Kejian loses patience.
Over these years, he has always been the one setting up traps to kill, it’s the first time being ensnared in a trap himself!
Previously at Duanchang Cliff, the more Nalan Qiutong suffered, the happier he watched…
Now facing Xie Zhen himself, he truly understands what a troublesome creature this kid is!
