Chapter 29

“Calm down, stay quiet.”
Ma Jintian grabbed my shoulder and spoke to me.
I did as he said and took a deep breath to control my emotions.
“Who are you?”
“Do I need to tell you?”
I asked with a sneer in my voice.
“No, you don’t have to tell me. The two sacks on your back, the hydrochloric acid and the salza. A flying poisonous paper, Wang Zhengzhi. Is that right?”
The man’s face hardened.
It seems that Ma Jintian was right.
“A non-poisonous lord? No way!
Wang Zhengzhi.
The most powerful of the Sect of the Dead.
The Salsu are those who attack in the dark.
But Wang Zhengqi broke that tradition.
They appear in front of their targets with overwhelming skill, defeat them, and complete their mission.
That’s why they are both easy and difficult to catch.
They only fulfill orders with a good reason, lest they become the accomplices of the stronger martial artists of the small and medium-sized schools.
“You have a good eye, so you know what you’re getting yourself into, don’t you?”
“Yes. I know that these are the elite of the Demon Gate, and I know that we are in your secret council.”
“If you know that, then…… die!”
Above Ma Jintian, a man in black night bliss fell from the side of a tree.
In his hand, he was carrying a holy water.
It was aimed at the crown of Ma Jintian’s head.
“Above…….”
Bang!
Before I could say anything about the danger, Ma Jintian drew his sword in an instant and blocked Bisu.
“If you can’t even block this much, you didn’t even catch up.”
Ma Jintian laughed cynically and twisted the sword with a flick of his wrist.
“Boom!”
The sword bounced off Bi Shu and stabbed into the heart of the beast.
“Disappear.”
Chuat!
Ma Jintian slashed the sword to the left, pulling it out of the beast’s body.
Blood sprayed onto the grass, and Salsu collapsed.
“……What’s your name?”
“Nothing is more ominous than giving a dead man a name.”
At Ma Jintian’s words, the twenty masked men standing behind him stepped forward, radiating life.
“We’ll kill you.”
The twenty masked men said in unison.
“Do it if you can.”
Ma Jintian sneered.
Chapter 2: The Clash (1)
A stifling confrontation.
Their flesh weighed down the air, and their momentum pressed down on Ma Jintian and me.
The basis of fighting is the battle of momentum.
If you lose the initial momentum battle, you might die because you didn’t use your skills properly, even though you have superior skills to your opponent.
“You can’t lose.
I swung my jin qi at my heavier body.
I swirled the natural chi that came in through my nose to calm my rising emotions, then moved to the bottom and raised my chi.
The qi coursed through his body and the pressure dissipated.
Ma Jinchen’s body was relaxed, as if he had never felt such a thing in the first place.
“What are you doing? Go ahead and attack.”
With a sneer twisting the corners of his lips, the elite of the Demon Slayer Clan, the Masked Men, instantly charged at him.
“Die!”
The sword’s qi concentrated, materialized, and stretched out.
The sword’s blade became a sheet of light, emitting a dark aura.
“Sword Qi?”
Sword Qi is something I can’t control yet.
When I unfold the plum blossom sword, it appears, but I can’t control it.
This leads me to conclude that their power is more than I thought.
I became even more nervous and was about to thrust my sword at the approaching masked men when Ma Jintian pulled out a divining rod and threw it at me.
Whirrrrrr! KANG!
The sword deflected the sword of the one closest to him, and then deflected the swords of the others in succession.
“Haat!”
With a cheer, Ma Jintian rushed forward.
The power contained within the sword line was unexpectedly large, and his opponent’s hands were shaking.
As it was, it clashed with his sword.
Chop, chop, chop, chop! Kaang! Pow!
Although he blocked well, anyone who couldn’t control their sword properly was no match for Ma Jintian.
In the blink of an eye, the sword bounced off and stuck in his heart.
“One!”
Chuah!
Ma Jintian pulled out his sword and sent his body flying again.
Red blood soaked the ground, and the masked man’s body collapsed.
The memorizations coursed through his body.
They didn’t care about the fallen man.
They threw memorizations at the body of their former comrade and kicked him away as if he was in the way.
“You bastards!”
Something simmering exploded.
Like a volcano erupting, something that started in the interruption of his body rose to his head, causing him to lose his grip on Yi Zhi, and surged through his entire body.
He sensed that Ma Jintian’s skill was no ordinary opponent and charged at them as they examined him.
The intangible energy pressed and crushed his body, but it didn’t even hinder him.
Even the slightest bit of unpleasant pressure disappeared as he swung the energy around his body even more.
“Aaaah!”
Qiuwu!
He attacked with his foot sword.
The sound of ripping through the air was even louder than before.
Bam!
Raising my sword, I smashed the blocker’s sword, driving my sword into his neck.
Pow!
A strange sensation in my hand.
The pulsation of blood, the movement of vocal cords, an unpleasant sensation.
My heart pounded with the realization that I had pierced my opponent’s body and taken his life.
I calmed down as I swung the chi through my body before stopping.
Now is not the time to be surprised and revel in the sensation of your first kill.
If you don’t kill, you die. Only by killing can you live.
This is the battlefield.
Chaaah!
He drew his sword and swung back.
Choo-choo-choo!
I stomped on the plum blossom, deflecting the sword that tried to pierce my body.
I stepped into my opponent’s square and swung my sword horizontally.
Bam!
He was indeed a formidable opponent.
Moreover, his sizzling sword Qi made it difficult for him to attack.
‘I once got some advice from my master about this kind of thing…….’
He thought to himself as he blocked his opponent’s sword.
‘Sword Qi…… Yes, that’s it!
The game is not decided by skill.
It can help, but it is not the decisive factor.
You don’t win a fight because you know how to use swords.
You can win if you don’t know how to use swords, but you are better at sword techniques than your opponent.
“Ha!”
With a twist of his wrist, he deflected the sword.
The two masked men slashed at him from both sides.
I took a step forward and deployed my Jiang Chen Shu.
Stepping forward, he struck.
Chen Ge’s mighty fist crushed his opponent’s chest.
The masked man cried out, spewing blood.
Ignoring it, he struck again with the Divine Flowing Kick.
The masked man flew through the air.
The men in front of him swung their swords and cut him to pieces.
The brutal sight made his blood boil again, but now he had to block swords from both sides.
“Hot!”
Taking a step back, he found the intersection of the swords and thrust.
KANG!
One sword blocked the other and drew in.
The two masked men, unable to center themselves against the dragging swords.
‘From here…….’
Jiang Chenshu on the left, Xin Liuquan on the right.
Puck! Puck!
The dispersed power didn’t kill them instantly, but it took a heavy toll on their shoulders and legs.
He won’t be able to move for a while.
He staggered backwards again, blocking the sword with Plum Blossom Yo-Yo’s herbivore.
Chop, chop, chop!
“Loophole!
The sword stabbed with the momentum of a one-hit kill.
I blocked it, and in an instant, the weakness was revealed.
Right flank and left ribs.
The two masked men coughed up blood as the sword slashed diagonally.
Boom!
The sword was sent flying towards Xin Liu’er’s back, and swept through the air like a gale.
Ma Jintian was also using his overwhelming strength to knock down the masked men one after another.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the masked men had fallen.
‘Was I really this strong…….’
Even with Ma Jintian’s help, I was actually fighting well, surprising even myself.
“Oh no!
My sword swayed as I thought about it.
Aiming for the gap, the masked man thrust his sword out.
“Tea!”
Poof!
“……!!”
The masked man didn’t even groan in pain as he was stabbed, but charged with even more frightening momentum.
I was so surprised by the rush that I missed the time to defend myself.
‘I’m hit…….’
A momentary mistake.
Kaang!
Fortunately, Ma Jincheon blocked it well.
“Don’t lose your nerve, fight properly.”
“Wow, thanks.”
“You got it, now do it right.”
He regained his composure and moved his sword toward the attackers again.
I must not let my mind wander.
A moment of inattention can cost you your life.
This time, he concentrated on bringing down his opponent.
Wang Zhengqi, who had been smiling as the Masalimun’s elite examined him, grew grim as one by one his men fell, and when more than half of them were gone, he drew his scimitar from his back and shouted.
“Stop!”
A deep voice that shook the bet.
“Ugh…….”
The hand stopped short of slashing at his shoulder.
The masked man quickly spun away and stood behind Wang Zhengqi.
Once the masked men of the Masal Moon had all stepped back, Ma Jintian let out a relaxed laugh, and I steadied my breathing.
“What a bunch of little brats. The Gu Sect’s strength is indeed great. We shouldn’t underestimate them. We’re borrowing their strength and weakening them….”
“They? What are you talking about!”
“Nothing to know. You just need to die.”
“The meeting between the Volcano Sect and the Zongnan Sect. Did you guys set it up?”
Wang Zhengqi clenched his fists.
“Nothing to know.”
“If it was your side, then the main mountain or this side is the most dangerous……?”
“I don’t know that either.”
“Well, now that I’ve gotten this far, I don’t want any more. Thank you.”
The corners of Wang Zhengqi’s eyes twitched at Ma Jintian’s sarcastic words.
“I will definitely kill you.”
Pfft!
He lowered his head as he felt something flying at him, and something thin embedded itself in the wood.
“This is…….
The thread I’d seen on the way here.
It was the blood-calling thread, the salsaxa, the secret weapon of the royal government.
Pit! Peep, peep, peep!
Wang Zhengqi sits on top of the Salzamsa.
“I will show you the dance of death.”
Masalmun’s elite slipped through the forest.
There was no stopping them.
They could not turn their backs and chase after the strange figure of Wang Zhengqi, who exuded a power beyond their own.
“Now, taste death.”
Like a spider, Wang Zhengqi crawled over Salzamsa, spinning and sprinkling memorization.
