Chapter 737: Chapter 636: Victory, Support from the Third Prince
"What should I do?"
A thought suddenly flashed through Gao Yuntian’s mind.
He was now in a power struggle with Qin An, yet this blade just floated up straightforwardly, aiming to stab his back.
If he ignored the blade and continued to fight Qin An, he would end up being pierced through by it.
However, if he focused on handling the blade, then how could he deal with Qin An?
This single blade alone had already put him in a dilemma.
Gao Yuntian gritted his teeth, making a choice at this critical moment.
He used his right palm against Qin An’s right fist, while his left hand slammed backward towards the Cold Star.
The onlookers sighed at this scene.
All present were top experts from various Tao-level Cities.
They knew that at this moment, Gao Yuntian’s action was the only viable choice.
But in their eyes, after making this choice, Gao Yuntian was already at a disadvantage.
Dealing with just Qin An was difficult enough, adding the distraction of handling the Straight Blade behind him.
How could Gao Yuntian manage to do both flawlessly?
"Boom!"
A terrifying rumble erupted.
Gao Yuntian’s palm collided fiercely with the Cold Star, and the aftermath swept across the ground.
As the rumble sounded, Gao Yuntian’s pupils shrank.
"This is the Three Blades Unification Secret Skill, how can he still use it?"
The Cold Star unleashed three layers of power, each faster and stronger than the last.
Gao Yuntian knew well that this was Qin An’s most prized Three Blades Unification Secret Skill.
He felt intense pain in his palm but gritted his teeth to resist the Cold Star’s onslaught.
Soon, the saber momentum of the Cold Star waned.
Gao Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had thwarted the Cold Star’s attack.
However, before joy could surface, a strong gust suddenly struck.
His right hand was countering Qin An’s right fist, left hand warding off Cold Star, while Qin An still had a free hand.
Qin An’s left hand, imbued with terrifying Qi Blood Power, slammed hard into his chest.
"Bang!"
A dull sound resounded.
Gao Yuntian felt a searing pain in his chest.
His body was flung backwards, crashing to the ground, rolling several times before stopping.
Blood spurted from Gao Yuntian’s mouth, as if it was free-flowing.
Clutching his chest, his face turned deathly pale.
Struggling to rise, a dazzling blade light flashed, the tip of Cold Star’s blade against his throat.
The icy sting made goosebumps erupt all over his body.
Qin An walked over slowly, his tone as calm as autumn water: "You lost."
These three words plunged Gao Yuntian into prolonged silence.
His tightly clenched fist loosened, then clenched again, emotions a rollercoaster.
The Evil Extermination Bureau onlookers sighed slightly in their hearts at the scene.
They initially thought Qin An was bound to lose this time, but none imagined Qin An could reverse such disadvantage and defeat Gao Yuntian.
This was beyond their expectations.
After a long silence, Gao Yuntian finally sighed, as if resigning himself, his eyes dimmed.
"I lost, thank you Mr. Qin for showing mercy."
That palm earlier only injured him, not took his life.
Gao Yuntian knew full well that Qin An had intentionally held back.
If Qin An had fueled that Qi Blood Power to its peak, perhaps just that one strike would have turned him into a useless lump of flesh.
Even though when he challenged Qin An, he harbored some opportunistic motives.
But no matter how one puts it, as a member of the Evil Extermination Bureau, he also possessed some integrity.
Losing is losing.
Gao Yuntian had nothing more to say.
Qin An tapped his finger lightly, and Cold Star flew up automatically, sheathing itself at his waist.
Gao Yuntian struggled to rise, wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth with his left sleeve.
"Mr. Qin’s prowess is extraordinary, I naively thought to seize this opportunity to fame, turns out I only made a fool of myself."
Qin An said calmly: "Enough with the nonsense, leave your forfeit and go."
The forfeit was Gao Yuntian’s clothing.
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuntian took off his clothes, revealing a strong physique.
He threw the clothes into a corner, left the courtyard without a word.
Seeing this, many from the Evil Extermination Bureau began to have second thoughts.
The superb Three Blades Unification Secret Skill was impressive, perhaps enough to surprise them somewhat.
But still not enough.
These days, everyone has a couple of secret skills.
Besides the Three Blades Unification Secret Skill, Qin An also had the Qi Blood Burning Secret Skill.
Just with that, Qin An won’t fall behind in any battle with them.
Not to mention, Qin An also has the Sky-Controlling Blade skill now.
Earlier when Gao Yuntian dealt with Qin An’s dual strikes, he was already stretched thin.
These smart ones realized, if it were them, the result would likely be the same, if not worse than Gao Yuntian.
Hence, some of them gave up the thought of challenging Qin An altogether.
The others from the Evil Extermination Bureau felt confident yet stayed put for now.
After all, they still had half a month of time.
They wished to think more about how to deal with Qin An.
Soon, the onlookers dispersed, leaving the courtyard silent once more.
