Chapter 7474
Stubborn to the end
Xiao Chen flicked his wrist, and a sword light suddenly appeared. It was not a straight thrust, but rather drew a mysterious and unparalleled arc. The cyan sword energy arrived first after it came later, like a bright new moon, with a sharp sound that tore through the air, and fiercely met the two deadly points of light!
"Clang! Clang!"
Two crisp, piercing metallic clangs rang out, sparks flying everywhere, dazzling and spectacular!
A powerful shockwave erupted from the two of them, spreading outwards and kicking up dust and gravel. The surrounding vehicles were shaken slightly by the force of the shockwave, and tiny cracks appeared in their windows.
Old Mo grunted, his body involuntarily taking three steps back. A sweet taste rose in his throat, and a trickle of bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He forcibly suppressed the surging blood and qi, gripped his two pens tightly, and the horror in his eyes intensified. Xiao Chen's sword qi was far stronger than he had expected!
"Xiao Chen of the Northwest, his reputation is well-deserved!"
He gritted his teeth and shouted, a resolute glint in his eyes. He gathered his strength again, and his two brushes danced like wheels, conjuring up a sky full of dark light.
They swarmed towards Xiao Chen, their attacks as dense as rain, attempting to block all of Xiao Chen's escape routes with a relentless offensive, buy time, and wait for reinforcements.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he clearly sensed that Qin Mu, supported by two elders, was stumbling towards a hidden backup car not far away, clearly trying to take the opportunity to escape.
Can't delay any longer.
His gaze instantly turned cold, and his sharp killing intent surged again. He locked his gaze on Elder Mo, his voice icy and piercing, devoid of any emotion, yet carrying an undeniable resolve and killing intent: "Get out of the way, or die."
Three breaths passed quietly, and Old Mo did not back down at all. His response was an even more violent and denser barrage of brushstrokes and gale-force winds.
He gambled that Xiao Chen wouldn't dare to kill him in a short time, that the guild's reinforcements would arrive in time, and that he could protect Qin Mu and hold out until the very last moment.
"Stubborn and obstinate".
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent, the cold light almost solidifying into a tangible form.
The Reverse Scale Sword in his hand suddenly emitted a long and blazing sword cry. The azure light on the sword body surged several feet, and the vast and ancient aura, carrying endless sharpness, swept across the entire area like a tsunami. Even the surrounding air was torn apart by the sword energy, creating fine ripples.
"break!"
A deep dragon's roar resounded through the sky, as if plunging down from the highest heavens, and also as if echoing in the depths of people's hearts, causing their blood to surge.
The moment Xiao Chen swung his sword, a cyan dragon-shaped phantom, tens of feet long, emerged from the sword light, its scales and claws clearly visible. Baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, it unleashed a world-destroying force and crashed into the sky full of dark light!
"What... what kind of martial arts technique is this?! How could you possibly..." Old Mo's pupils shrank to pinpoints, his face drained of color, and his horrified screams were instantly drowned out by the deafening roar.
"Snap! Snap!"
A series of crisp cracking sounds rang out as his pair of prized black gold judge's pens shattered like fragile rotten wood under the violent impact of the Azure Dragon phantom!
The chaotic flow of spiritual energy from the collapsing artifact raged in all directions, like sharp blades, carving countless ravines into the ground.
Old Mo was struck as if by a heavy blow. His whole body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained his robes red. His face was ashen and bloodless.
He clearly felt an incomparably sharp sword intent, full of destructive power, pierce through the protective qi he had cultivated with all his life's effort, invading his meridians and lungs like a venomous snake, and frantically tearing apart his internal organs.
He stared wide-eyed at the fading yet still powerful azure dragon phantom, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair, as if he were witnessing his own doom.
"Uh..." Before he could finish his sentence, fine beads of blood suddenly seeped from his pores. As if all his strength had been drained, he swayed and collapsed to the ground, his breath fading instantly. He died with his eyes wide open.
Xiao Chen didn't even glance at the dead Mo Lao lying on the ground. His figure blurred, leaving a faint blue afterimage in the spot. His true form was like an arrow released from a bow, carrying a chilling killing intent, shooting straight in the direction Qin Mu was fleeing. His speed was so fast that he was only a streak of light!
In the distance, at the edge of the parking lot.
Under the tight protection of two retainers, Qin Mu scrambled and stumbled, desperately lunging towards the black sedan that was already running and roaring with its engine.
He was terrified to the extreme; his hatred for Xiao Chen had long been replaced by a deep-seated fear.
He knew better than anyone that he was no match for Xiao Chen. His only thought at that moment was to escape, to do everything in his power to escape back to the capital and back to Qin Shanhe's protection!
My fingers almost touched the cold car door handle; I was just one step away from escaping the jaws of death.
"call out!"
A piercingly sharp sound tore through the night, its shrill tone causing a painful ache in the eardrums!
A streak of azure light, like a comet falling from the heavens, trailing a long azure tail, swept across the sky at a speed beyond the limits of human vision, carrying a terrifying and destructive force, and shot straight toward Qin Mu's heart!
"Young master, be careful!"
The expression of one of the retainers beside him changed drastically, his pupils contracted sharply, and without thinking, he roared and recklessly activated all his true energy.
A thick, earthy-yellow light emanated from his palms, condensing into a solid energy shield. He slammed his palms against the deadly blue streak of light, attempting to deflect it and buy Qin Mu time to escape!
"boom!"
The palm strike and the sword light collided with a deafening roar, and a violent shockwave swept outwards, stirring up rubble everywhere.
The azure light paused slightly, its flight path deviating a little, but its momentum only increased, still carrying overwhelming sharpness as it headed straight for Qin Mu!
"Clang!"
A piercingly sharp sound exploded, and the Reverse Scale Sword, carrying the remaining violent energy, slammed into the cement ground less than three inches in front of Qin Mu's toes!
The blade sank in to the hilt, leaving only the cold hilt trembling violently and humming incessantly, radiating a chilling sword aura.
Centered on the point where the sword landed, the hard, iron-like cement ground instantly exploded with countless spiderweb-like cracks, which spread wildly outwards like a tidal wave, extending several meters away!
The violent shockwave was like an invisible hammer, violently throwing the still-shaken Qin Mu away, causing him to crash heavily onto the ground several meters away.
With a muffled thud, it felt as if all the bones in his body had been shattered. Intense pain swept through his entire body, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Qin Mu struggled to lift his head. Through his blurred vision, he saw the short sword that was so close to him, radiating a chilling aura, and then looked at the shocking cracks on the ground.
Boundless fear, like ice water poured over his head, instantly permeated his entire body, making him tremble all over, as if he had fallen into an abyss, and even breathing became difficult.
Driven by his survival instinct, he frantically crawled backward, trying to escape this hellish place. But just then, a tall shadow slowly enveloped him.
Xiao Chen, like a grim reaper, had silently descended upon him. (End of Chapter)
