Chapter 134 National Guardian Beast
Chapter 134 National Guardian Beast
Deep in the valley, the mythical beast, chained up, roared.
"Roar!!"
"Caught!"
The user of the divine rope, who was in charge of guarding the area, wanted to bind Qi. This divine rope was a magical artifact, and once Qi was bound, he would be unable to use his qi.
For martial artists, losing their skills essentially means they are at the mercy of others.
However, Qi reacted too quickly and resolved the predicament several times.
"How... how is it possible?!"
The magic rope was defeated and collapsed, severely injured.
"Roar!"
Qi rescued the woman in white and prepared to leave, but at that moment, the divine beast below the trap roared.
It looked up as if it was about to bite the two of them.
Qi subconsciously swung his sword, the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, at the divine beast!
Ding!
A hand blocked the attack, and Qi's usually calm expression showed a slight change. "It's you..."
“If you save her, the assassin leader will be the one who takes your life; but if you kill this beast, the entire Xuanwu Kingdom will be after you.”
Qin Ming said calmly.
Qi sheathed her sword, giving him a deep look. "...Thank you."
Then he turned and left with the woman in white.
Qin Ming shook his head. Why bother?
He was clearly invincible, yet he had to cripple himself for a woman. Sure enough, women only slow down the speed at which he draws his sword.
After Qi left, Qin Ming turned and glanced at the divine beast.
Its appearance is that of a crippled red dragon.
"Saving your life, it's not unreasonable to exchange some dragon blood for it, is it?"
"Huh?! (What?)"
Regardless of whether the dragon could understand or not, it took out a large jar and began drawing blood.
This dragon is indeed the national guardian beast of Xuanwu Kingdom, but not because it is particularly strong or has any special significance, otherwise it wouldn't be bound here with iron chains.
Rather, it's because it's a medicinal beast...
It might be the longest-living one in the world; once it's killed by Qi, there won't be a second one.
……
As far as the eye could see, the whole world seemed to have turned blood red.
Limbs and severed arms flew everywhere, and blood stained the earth red.
Rivers of blood!
Clang! Clang!
puff! !
"kill!"
"kill him!!"
"Ahhhhh!!"
There is no exit from this valley; the only exit is blocked. From the moment Qi entered, he only had one path to take.
That means we fight our way out!
Amidst the chaotic crowd, various weapons relentlessly attacked, but Qi relied on his demonic blade to continuously slay the attackers.
At first, he was able to handle things with ease, but as time went on, his internal energy and physical strength began to deplete rapidly, and his condition began to decline.
In particular, he also had to protect the woman in white beside him, which limited his speed.
As time went on, more and more corpses appeared behind him, and the ground beneath his feet was sticky.
Just then, a sharp glint appeared from the crowd!
Got it!
The burly man who had been standing with Jiu earlier suddenly burst out from the crowd, his terrifying true energy scattering everyone around him!
One person, with the momentum of a thousand horses galloping, drew a broadsword from his back and slashed furiously at Qi from behind!
Ultimate Technique: Wind and Thunder Slash!
A sharp, cyan-blue sword aura condensed, making this attack no small matter.
Um! ?
Sensing a strong gust of wind behind them, Qi and the woman beside her dodged to the side, a strand of hair being severed by the sword.
Upon seeing the newcomer's appearance, he showed no emotion in his eyes and swung his sword.
Clang! Thud!
"Huh?! You...!"
Eight fell to the ground. They were all strong individuals who had emerged from the trials of the Shadow Organization, with Seven being the best among them.
Like Jiu, each of them regarded Qi as their goal.
This is also how they grow up.
Like raising poisonous insects, hundreds of people are placed in the same environment to fight each other continuously, and those who survive are given a code name.
It's not a name, it's just a code.
Has the gap really gotten this big? It's...monster.
Just before her consciousness faded into darkness, Ba saw Qi's receding figure in the distance.
kill!
At this moment, Qi had only one thought: to fight her way out!
Finally, when Qi successfully broke through the encirclement, the surrounding assassins suddenly awoke, looked at the sea of corpses behind him, and all hesitated, not daring to rush forward blindly.
"Weird, monster!"
"Is this the power of the chief shadow assassin?!"
"Tsk!"
"Akifu Ichiro, you...you've always wanted to make a name for yourself, haven't you? Go on!"
One of them nervously nudged his companion, but his companion only took half a step forward before collapsing to the ground in fright at Qi Yi's gaze, dropping his knife...
Qi continued walking forward, and from beginning to end, he did not suffer any real injury.
However, it consumes a great deal of skill and physical strength.
But having fought to this point, he exuded a terrifying aura that intimidated everyone present.
This includes Jiu, who was hiding in the crowd, and another trial participant.
Both of them were weighing their options in secret.
Zheng……
In the end, Jiu could not restrain herself and drew the knife from her hand with a slight tremor.
Must be a coincidence!
This guy can't be that strong. Kill him, and the Demon Blade Thousand Blades will be mine, as will the throne of the chief shadow assassin!
His eyes were filled with madness as he stared intently at Qi's figure, as if the entire world had shrunk to just that one figure.
However, the more he stared at him, the more his murderous aura surged forth without reservation.
Gradually, Qi's figure began to grow infinitely larger in his eyes.
That murderous aura that surpassed him also quietly locked onto him!
Oops!
Qi gripped the demonic blade and turned to look at him.
In her haste, Jiu made a fatal mistake that an assassin should never make: she released her killing intent before taking action, and she released her killing intent completely without considering the consequences!
This is practically the most basic mistake an assassin could make!
Swish!
Without hesitation, the murderous aura dissipated instantly, and Jiu's figure disappeared from the spot.
Fled...
The other person also sighed, knowing he couldn't keep Qi, and left as well.
Qi fled with the woman in white, but ultimately could not escape being stabbed in the back and forced to flee across the broken bridge.
……
Bang! Boom!
Having witnessed Qi fall into the raging river and be swept away, Qin Ming shook his head.
"Sect Master, it's been a long time."
Turning to the blind monk, "Imperial Preceptor..."
To be honest, it was a bit of a surprise. Back in the ruins, he thought the other party had been killed.
However, the opponent's strength is not simple either; they have definitely opened up their Qi channels and reached the peak level.
The Eyeless Master nodded. "His Majesty instructed me to tell the Pavilion Master that he is grateful for the Pavilion Master's life-saving grace and to invite the Pavilion Master to the palace for a chat."
"Forget it."
Qin Ming refused directly, saying, "The Imperial Advisor can tell His Majesty on my behalf that there is no need to bother. Some things are useless to force. Too much of a good thing can easily lead one astray."
"……Understood."
……
In the Xuanwu Kingdom's imperial palace, a figure sat on the throne, emanating an invisible aura of power, exuding authority without anger.
"Ah……"
Looking at the blind imperial advisor before him, he asked, "How was the imperial advisor's divination?"
"The results of the deduction are no different from what the Pavilion Master said. Human strength has its limits, and it is useless to force things."
"Go down."
The blind monk nodded slightly, then turned and left.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes emitted a chilling light, muttering to themselves, "Qin Ming, how did you do that..."
