Chapter 38: Evil and terrifying, yet capable of being slain!
The twin swords clashed for the second time, and sparks exploded between the two like fireworks.
The sinister smile on He Zheng's face froze instantly!
He felt an unimaginable force surge through the blade, causing the bones in his arm holding the knife to vibrate violently, his palm to crack, and blood to splatter.
His entire body was thrown backward uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the pillar of the small building, and then spitting out a mouthful of blood.
However, Jiang Qi's knife did not stop.
The moment He Zheng was sent flying backward, the second strike followed immediately.
A cold light flashed down from the sky, aiming straight for He Zheng's neck!
He Zheng was in mid-air, his old strength exhausted and no new strength generated, and despair finally welled up in his eyes.
puff!
The blade slices into flesh and cuts through bone.
A head flew off, and the headless body slid down the pillar, splattering blood onto the gallery paintings.
Two knives!
He Zheng, the first protector of the Blood Blade Hall of the Green Water Gang, who possessed six streams of Qi and blood, was beheaded on the spot.
Snap... Snap... Snap...
A round of applause rang out.
The strange young man clapped his hands and slowly walked out of the small building, a smile on his face.
"Your skill is impressive."
His tone was appreciative, but his gaze was sharp as a knife.
"If you kill my most trusted bodyguard, there will be no one to run errands for me anymore... How about this, you take his place and become my bodyguard?"
Jiang Qi stood silently, knife in hand.
This person gave him the feeling that he was several times more dangerous than the person from before!
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself." The strangely handsome young man straightened his brocade robes. "I am Yan Beifeng, with perfect Six Paths Qi and Blood. How about that? I don't think I've disgraced you."
Yan Beifeng?
The son of the leader of the Blood Blade Hall of the Green Water Gang, who was to be married into the Fierce Wind Hall of the Iron Clothes Gang.
This person was rumored to have only five strands of qi and blood, but it turns out he actually has six.
Furthermore, its aura is strange and elusive, suggesting it may be more than just the Six Paths.
Using this person to test the knife would probably be more effective...
Jiang Qi thought to himself.
"Since you don't speak," Yan Beifeng's smile gradually faded, and his eyes turned cold and sinister, "then I'll take that... you've tacitly agreed."
The instant the last word fell!
Yan Beifeng took a step forward, his hands forming claws, like two venomous pythons ready to devour their prey, and went straight for Jiang Qi's face!
His imposing presence far surpassed that of He Zheng, who possessed six streams of qi and blood.
Jiang Qi's expression remained unchanged as he spun and swept his long sword horizontally, the wind from the blade tearing through the air like a whirlwind.
The eighth move of the Wind-Breaking Blade: Whirlwind Earth-Splitting!
Clang! Clang!
The blade and claws clashed, producing two loud explosions.
Yan Beifeng wore something on his hands that was as hard as iron and carried a chilling force that eroded along the blade.
Jiang Qi flicked his wrist, unleashing a surge of qi and blood that dispersed the chilling force, but his vigilance only intensified.
Missing his first strike, Yan Beifeng moved erratically, his footwork unpredictable, and with his sharp ghost claws, launched a storm of attacks from all directions.
Claws loomed large, and a foul stench filled the air.
Good timing!
Jiang Qi was not surprised but rather pleased.
His long sword swirled and slashed repeatedly, its light flashing like a ribbon, creating waves of blade energy against the wind.
The Ninth Form of the Wind-Breaking Saber Technique: The Wind Ceases and the Waves Subside!
However, Yan Beifeng's movements were unpredictable and elusive, often flashing past before the blade could reach him, making it difficult for Yan Beifeng to achieve any real results.
"Your swordsmanship is quite good, almost perfected, but the Wind-Breaking Blade is just an ordinary martial art. No matter how perfect it is, you can't possibly touch me," Yan Beifeng mocked.
is it?
Jiang Qi's lips curled into a smile.
[Blood-collecting]!
In an instant, a powerful force comparable to seven streams of qi and blood erupted from his body, and his sword aura suddenly changed.
The blade whistled through the air, increasing its speed by another five points. Each strike carried the force of splitting mountains and cleaving peaks, forcibly compressing Yan Beifeng's space to dodge.
"Blood Burning Secret Technique?" Yan Beifeng's eyes flashed with surprise. "Have you run out of tricks? You dare to use such a self-destructive technique... Hmm? No, that's not right!"
Jiang Qi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he spotted an opening.
Blade intent, cleaving the wind!
The longsword transformed into a cold gleam that tore through the line of sight, slashing down at an incredible angle, aiming straight for Yan Beifeng's neck!
Yan Beifeng's expression changed drastically. He hastily retreated, crossing his arms to block.
Stab it--!
The blade struck his arm, but failed to penetrate, instead sending sparks flying.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that Yan Beifeng's sleeves were torn, revealing arm guards that gleamed with a dark metallic luster!
"Inner armor?!" Jiang Qi's heart sank.
The other side has such good protection.
"That was close!" Yan Beifeng glanced at the slash mark on his arm guard, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes. He then grinned maliciously. "How many more times could you have landed that slash?"
Jiang Qi remained silent and immediately raised his sword to strike again.
The inner armor is not a complete shield; the head, neck, and legs can still be severed.
puff!puff!
Two streaks of blood erupted!
Yan Beifeng groaned as he was stabbed in the left leg, the wound so deep that bone was visible.
He staggered, and finally his face showed fear.
Jiang Qi would not let such an opportunity pass by, and his blade flashed as he relentlessly pursued the enemy.
He was struck by a series of blows. Although Yan Beifeng managed to avoid fatal blows, he sustained several more wounds, his robes stained with blood, and one of his legs was almost crippled, leaving him barely able to stand.
The outcome seems to be decided.
However, instead of panicking, Yan Beifeng, who was in dire straits, laughed loudly:
"Hahaha! Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
"I admit, you're very strong, stronger than I imagined! But..."
His laughter stopped abruptly, his expression instantly contorted, and his eyes turned pitch black at a visible speed, with not a trace of white showing.
At the same time, countless twisted and eerie black lines emerged from under his skin like living things, quickly spreading across his entire face.
A chilling, violent, ominous, and insane aura erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption!
"Hehehe..."
Inside the house, the dying Chen Feng witnessed this scene and let out a terrified groan: "A monster...it's a great monster..."
Meanwhile, at the Zhenyuan Martial Arts School.
Shen Yi, the city patrol officer of the Demon Suppression Division, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, and stood up abruptly.
"The aura of the Heart-Eating Old Monster!"
......
Deep within the courtyard, the night wind howled, adding to the biting chill.
Jiang Qi stood holding his knife, his expression solemn.
He finally understood why he had felt Yan Beifeng was dangerous from the very beginning.
It turns out the other party was possessed by an evil spirit!
"Hehehe..." The demonized Yan Beifeng let out a strange, inhuman laugh, his dark eyes fixed on Jiang Qi. "How is it? Is this blood servant body of mine to your liking?"
Jiang Qi remained silent, but the blood and qi within his body surged like a dragon. He activated the [Blood Gathering] technique, causing all four streams of blood and qi to boil.
The level of horror of the evil spirit is limited by the possessed person and will not exceed that level by much.
In other words, this evil spirit's strength is only around six or seven strands of Qi and blood.
Therefore, evil and wickedness are indeed terrifying, but they are not invincible!
"Boy, considering your considerable strength, I'll give you one last chance." The demonized Yan Beifeng licked his lips. "Kneel down, offer your heart, and I may keep your body to become my new blood servant."
Otherwise... you will experience what true despair is. Every drop of your blood, every piece of your flesh, will be slowly devoured by me, just like those Demon Guards I ate, wailing for days without dying!"
"Enough with the nonsense," Jiang Qi said calmly. "Are we still fighting or not?"
"Heh heh... You're courting death!" Yan Beifeng laughed in fury, his body churning with black energy, transforming into a twisted black whirlwind that pounced on Jiang Qi with a piercing shriek and a strong stench.
