Chapter 1654: Chapter 1275: The Thief Even Heroes Fear!
Yidao and Tianya!
Of course, this refers to the former top spies of the Dragon Guard Manor, Duan Tianya, the Number One Heaven Spy, and Gui Hai Yidao, the Number One Earth Spy, who were the two most trusted aides of the Iron Courage Marquis Zhu Wushi in the past.
But nearly a year ago, these two had disappeared in the conflict within the Ming Country and had since vanished completely from the Martial World.
People in the Martial World believed they had betrayed the Marquis and were killed by him.
Who would have thought that today, the Iron Courage Marquis would be inquiring about these two from Lian Chengbi.
Everyone felt a mix of shock and deep confusion.
Lian Chengbi, however, felt his hair stand on end and moved without hesitation, preparing to flee.
But in front of the Iron Courage Marquis Zhu Wushi, who is hailed as the best in the entire Ming Country, escaping was nothing but a dream.
"I told everyone to wait for the Black Wind Village Chief!"
Zhu Wushi smiled faintly, and with a quick but seemingly slow motion, he drew a hand from behind. Accompanied by a surge of Purple Energy, a powerful suction locked Lian Chengbi in place.
"Absorption Skill!"
The numerous martial arts experts present felt a chill and retreated, fearing their martial prowess might be absorbed even from several meters away. All realized at that moment that things were not going well.
Lian Chengbi was the first to be caught by the suction, his body flying backward. His eyes flashed sharply, and a strange blood-red hue appeared on his face, giving an eerily cold feeling rather than fiery.
As the blood hue arose, his momentum surged abruptly, gathering Heaven and Earth Power with intensity, forcing his body upward against the powerful retraction force, advancing another meter forward.
"Hmm?"
Zhu Wushi’s black moustache twitched slightly as he clasped his five fingers tightly, pulling back fiercely.
Boom!!——
Suddenly, the space within several meters centered around Zhu Wushi seemed to collapse, making it difficult to find any foothold. Large stone bricks were sucked up with a "whorling" sound, crazily drawn toward Zhu Wushi.
"Ah!"
Lian Chengbi shouted, his legs stretching like a grasshopper. His body, under the powerful suction field akin to a hurricane whirlpool, shot up like lightning to the edge where the suction was weakest.
Almost simultaneously, his figure transformed into a blood-red dragon filled with a cold aura, writhing in the air, attempting to break free from the suction.
"Lord of Carefree!"
"Lord of Carefree!?"
All the martial artists present were shocked and terrified.
Yet the next moment, terrifying Purple Energy transformed into a rapidly expanding semi-circle centered on Zhu Wushi, instantly enveloping the blood-dragon-turned Lian Chengbi, suddenly retracting, pulling Lian Chengbi toward Zhu Wushi’s outstretched claw-like hand.
This sight brought an overwhelming psychic impact and shock to all present.
Seeing Lian Chengbi about to fall into the Iron Courage Marquis Zhu Wushi’s clawed hand...
Swish!!——
A dazzling snow-white sword light appeared abruptly, accompanied by an intensely strong Saber Qi.
The sword light flashed in the air, with unimaginable sharpness and speed cutting into the retracting Purple Energy suction field, the astonishing Saber Qi immediately pierced into the semi-circle Qi Shield-like force field.
Without any sound of Qi Force collision, the suction field was torn open by the amazing sword edge, forming a gap that vanished almost instantly.
This gap existed for less than a thousandth of a second before being repaired, and the unparalleled Saber Qi was about to be devoured by the Purple Energy, as if the Purple Energy was as expansive as water, able to contain everything, endless, like a knife cutting through water that only flows more.
In that almost imperceptibly quick moment, Lian Chengbi’s eyes filled with Blood Radiance, his gaze cold and sharp. His right hand formed a blade with two fingers, his momentum becoming icily ruthless, murderous, and he slashed suddenly!
Avici Three Blades!
With the first slash, murderous intent soared to the heavens, like a ghost claiming life, Hell descending to the world, the chilling Saber Qi astonishing all present.
The soon-to-be-repaired gap was immediately torn open again by this astonishing Saber Qi.
Lian Chengbi’s figure transformed into a moving blood-dragon, attached to the sword light, squeezing out through the ephemeral suction gap.
A sound like cloth being torn spread as the Purple Energy fully retracted into Zhu Wushi’s hand.
Zhu Wushi’s palm grasped a bunch of shredded clothing twisted by the suction and a piece of cold, writhing red blood, his face slightly surprised, looking at Lian Chengbi, who stood opposite, pale-faced with only a layer of clothing left.
Seeing the blood at the corner of his mouth, yet his expression remained cold and ruthless, seemingly still immersed in the just-unleashed dreadful Sword Intent, Zhu Wushi nodded slightly in approval as he recalled the opponent’s agile, liquid-like state moments ago.
"The Lord of Carefree indeed inherited the Blood Transformation Divine Skill from Blood Transformation Divine Venerable! And you have inherited all of the Lord of Carefree’s martial skills... I just didn’t expect you to have learned Yidao’s Heartless Blade Skill so quickly... Your Martial Arts Talent is also impressive."
After saying this, he suddenly looked in the direction of a carefree and unrestrained young man, who had appeared on the table at some point, and smiled slightly.
"Xiao Shiyilang... You are the last to arrive."
The young man on the table appeared as agile as a leopard, with the spirit of a steed, the agility of a hummingbird, and the loneliness of a wolf.
He wore a loose black silk robe, tied with a silk belt, in which a sword was slantingly inserted— the Deer Cutting Saber!
The sword was drawn!
The cold, radiant blade was in his broad but thin hand. It was with this blade that he had just created a moment for Lian Chengbi to escape.
