Chapter 1044
"The power of Xu Qinchai's strike is definitely at the Saint-level."
"Could it be that he has entered the realm of a terrestrial immortal?"
"The sacred realm of those who have reached adulthood?"
While urging his strength to resist the blade's power, the martial artist spoke with an exaggerated expression.
"Maybe it's true."
"Think about it, Chief Hong is a veteran of the Ninth Rank Great Perfection, and is known as the number one person below the Saint Realm."
“Even when he faced off against Imperial Envoy Xu, he needed the assistance of formations and formation masters.”
"Even after unleashing their domain, they were still being suppressed by Lord Xu. He even resorted to underhanded tactics, attempting to wear them down by using the Wudang Flying Army."
"Such profound knowledge and abilities could only come from a terrestrial deity, right?"
Without comparison, there is no harm!
Hong Qiweng, who was already considered a top-tier figure by these martial arts practitioners and Beggar Clan disciples, was now helpless when facing Xu Shan.
Such an ending naturally led them to speculate that Xu Shan's level of attainment was even higher.
What lies beyond the Ninth Grade Great Perfection?
A paradise on earth.
This is what martial artists refer to as the "Sacred Realm".
'boom! '
Just as everyone was discussing this with trepidation, two blade energies slashed at Hong Qiweng, one after the other.
The first strike was merely the residual force.
Even so, it still negated his killing move, "Sweeping Through the Army".
The second strike was imbued with seven layers of sword intent.
Not only did it sever the Dog-Beating Stick, which was hailed as a "divine weapon" by the Beggars' Sect disciples, but it also shattered Hong Qiweng's internal energy.
'boom.'
A piercing cracking sound suddenly resounded throughout the entire sky.
"what!"
From the crimson-covered horizon, Hong Qiweng's shrill screams echoed.
The red light flashed briefly and then quickly dissipated.
All the people saw was the disheveled, bloodied old gang leader Hong staggering on a rooftop.
Even more frightening is that his signature style of writing has disappeared.
The flowing blood stained the martial arts uniforms red.
"Hong, Old Chief Hong..."
Upon witnessing this scene, Guo Yijing, the Wudang Flying Army, and the remaining Beggar Clan disciples all instinctively screamed.
"Don't ask me..."
What are you all standing there for?
"Take them down quickly, those dozen or so imperial henchmen!"
"It backfired on Xu's true energy."
As he said this, Hong Qiweng swallowed several pills in succession and used silver needles to stop the bleeding and acupuncture points.
In this way, he could stabilize his own meridians and lock onto Xu Shan's territory.
"what?"
Upon hearing his words, Guo Yijing, who had already assembled the garrison and equipment, instantly snapped back to reality and said, "Move immediately."
"Today, we'll fill the entire Wudang Flying Army and the garrison of Wanzhou City into it."
"I'm going to kill these government lackeys too!"
"I also want my hounds to die here today."
'Swish, swish!'
'Pfft. '
"Ow."
Just as the Wudang Flying Army and the defending troops were preparing to use weapons to blast Caishikou flat...
Sharp spears wove together a dense killing net, shooting down the Wudang Flying Army and the temporarily dispatched guards from all directions.
The team, which had just rallied, was instantly thrown into chaos, and shrill screams echoed continuously throughout the heavens and earth.
"Who?"
"Where did all these spears come from?"
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Just as a panicked Guo Yijing was raising this question...
The commotion outside the city and the guards of Wanzhou City erupted in shrill shouts.
"Yes, it's the imperial court; they've come to kill us."
"Wanzhou City has fallen."
"Both inside and outside the city are the imperial army."
'boom.'
Upon hearing this, the vast city of Wanzhou was in an uproar.
Has Wanzhou fallen?
The city, both inside and outside, is filled with the imperial army?
How did they get here?
Heavenly soldiers descending to earth?
Obviously not.
The only explanation is that the Kuimen Pass fell.
'Pah-ta-ta.'
Just then, the piercing sound of horses' hooves came from all directions.
Immediately afterwards, a series of earth-shattering roars echoed throughout the entire city of Wanzhou.
"The commander of the Great Ming Great Sword Battalion, Yue Moran, has been ordered by Imperial Envoy Xu to lead his troops into Sichuan to eliminate the traitors."
"Who dares to stop me?"
"kill!"
"Wu Shanhe, the commander of the Ming Dynasty's Jiazi Battalion, was ordered by Imperial Envoy Xu to lead his troops into Sichuan to eliminate the rebels."
"Who dares to stop me?"
"kill!"
"Commander of the Ming Dynasty's First Battalion..."
Four roars, infused with sonic power, suddenly resounded in everyone's ears like thunder.
Looking at the imposing army, not only the outer guards, but even the elite of the Shu army—the Wudang Flying Army—felt terrified.
Especially when they looked up at the surrounding highlands and cities, and saw that all the flags on them were now occupied by the flag with the character "Xu," they felt even more panicked and fearful.
The Qutang Gorge has been breached!
The elite troops from the capital have entered Sichuan.
Now, they have launched a surprise attack on Wanzhou City, trapping them inside...
Faced with this situation, how could they possibly have the will to fight?
"This, this is impossible!"
How could the Kuimen Pass have fallen?
"How could the imperial court's elite troops be in Wanzhou City?"
'bass.'
'Sizzle.'
When a general from the Wudang Flying Army raised such a question, Wu Shanhe, Le Moran, and other fierce generals who had already charged forward responded with their steel swords.
"Break through, break out of the encirclement."
"Quickly, organize the cavalry to protect this general's breakout."
Looking at the Xu-character flags surging in from all directions like a tide, Guo Yijing, who had previously been domineering and confident, screamed hysterically.
Not only him, but even Hong Qiweng, who had lost an arm and was still struggling to survive, was in a panic.
If they still had a numerical advantage, they could have worn Xu Shan down completely.
But now?
Individually, they are no match for the enemy; in terms of troop strength, they are outnumbered!
In this desperate situation, the first thing that came to mind for Hong Qiweng was—as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!
Of course, he couldn't just slink away like that.
After all, he was a grandmaster.
Even if you have to run away, you should leave yourself a way out.
"Mountains don't move, but water does!"
“You surnamed Xu, I, Hong Qiweng, will repay the debt of my severed arm tenfold in the future.”
'bass! ’
After saying that, Hong Qiweng activated his movement technique and prepared to flee.
With the acupuncture point enhancement, his strength briefly returned to its peak, and he was confident that he could escape.
however……
But the moment he turned around, a surge of powerful energy locked onto the old man.
"Is it too late to leave now?"
"Do you remember what I said when I entered the city?"
"You must die today."
Even if the Heavenly King himself came, it wouldn't work!
'Uh-huh. '
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shan drew his sword and charged towards Hong Qiweng, who was completely bound within his domain.
He dominated the martial arts world for decades...
Hong Qiweng had never felt so helpless and desperate.
No matter how hard he tried, he found that he could not break free from the shackles of the surname Xu.
And that chilling aura, which now sends shivers down his spine, is approaching from afar.
Even when he turned around, the other person was only a dozen meters away from him!
This distance...
For top-tier experts, they can take their opponent's life at any time.
