Chapter 694 The Most Unfortunate Thing
Cui Shu drew his sword.

He originally thought that facing such a group of insect-like creatures would not pose any threat to him, but reality slapped him in the face.

It's not that the opponent is too strong, but that we have become weaker.

Although he was able to kill several Wolf Fang Guards with each attack, he was also affected by the sword energy.

Hidden dangers within the body are stirring.

He could even feel the two completely opposite and vicious true energies hidden deep within his seven meridians and eight channels about to start backfiring.

It must be resolved quickly.

How abominable!
Despite the deaths of so many of these Wolf Fang Guards, their fighting spirit remained high, and they showed no sign of retreating despite the loss of their comrades.

With his left hand, he drew his sword, the dazzling sun burning brightly at its tip. With a long howl, Cui Shu became one with his sword and charged straight at the opposite blade formation.

"Uncle, are you still able to wield the sword with your left hand smoothly?"

The ear-piercing laughter of Linghu Zhishu that reached Cui Shu's ears enraged him to the point of madness.

Of course I'm not used to it.

But his right hand had already been crippled by Li Dachui.

Slap someone in the face, kill someone by destroying their spirit.
Although she knew that Linghu Zhishu was trying to disturb her mind, Cui Shu still couldn't control her emotions.

After the injury, the father's disappointed expression and the subsequent series of arrangements...

My elder brother hurriedly sent someone back from Luoyang to probe the situation.
The ugly sight of the subordinates' panic and desperate search for a way out.
And now, Linghu Xiao'er is making undisguised mockery and humiliation.

"Go to hell!"

Overwhelmed by passion, his eyes turned bloodshot. In that instant, Cui Shu completely lost control. The blazing sun on his sword shone brightly. A master of innate cultivation has perfect control over his true energy and would not allow any abuse of power. But now, countless twinkling lights, like stars, flew out from this blazing sun.

"He's out of control!" Linghu Zhishu was overjoyed. If he could withstand this wave, he could create a miracle by killing a Xiantian master with the martial arts cultivation of a Xuan Yuan Eighth Grade Peak.

"Fight!" With a roar, he slashed three times in quick succession!

The remaining dozens of Wolf Fang Guards were greatly encouraged, desperately channeling the little true energy they had left. This sword energy, gathered through the military formation, surged into Linghu Zhishu's body and then slashed at the opponent with the sword in Linghu Zhishu's hand.

A blade several feet long flashed, and Linghu Zhishu's eye ruptured, blood gushing from his seven orifices, making him look extremely terrifying.

The blade's edge slashed at the blazing sun.

The light dissipated.

The scorching sun receded.

The knife broke.

The sword is broken.

Cui Shu had one hand gripping Linghu Zhishu's neck.

Behind Linghu Zhishu, dozens of Wolf Fang Guards lay sprawled on the ground, none of them able to stand. Seeing Linghu Zhishu fall into the enemy's hands, several officers struggled to get up, but after writhing on the ground for a moment, they could only crawl a foot or so.

"Just a hair's breadth away!" Linghu Zhishu's face was deathly pale. With his throat gripped by the other party, he could barely speak. If he were a ninth-grade Xuan Yuan cultivator instead of an eighth-grade one, this strike would have definitely killed Cui Shu, the pseudo-Xian Yuan cultivator.

He hadn't been diligent in his martial arts training before. He always thought that martial arts were just an individual's ability, and that individual ability had limited impact in the struggle for supremacy. To dominate the world, one needed more strategy and planning, and that was the big picture. But today, he deeply realized the power of the individual, which could sometimes truly change the course of events.

Cui Shu's hands were trembling, and his whole body was shaking. The Qiankun Qi that Li Dachui had injected into his body was acting up at this most critical moment. Half of his body felt like it was being tormented in a raging fire, while the other half felt like it was in the Netherworld. Extreme yang and extreme yin appeared on his body at the same time, causing his face to be half blood red and half blue, like a demon.

With a thud, Linghu Zhishu fell to the ground.

Looking up at Cui Shu, Linghu Zhishu was overjoyed.
Heaven helped me! The other party made a move. Did my desperate gamble finally succeed?
Cui Shu collapsed to the ground, curling up into a ball.

Reaching out, he touched a knife, gripped the hilt, and used it to brace himself against the ground, trying to stand up.

However, his body was completely empty, and he had no strength to use. In great alarm, Linghu Zhishu took a deep breath and tried to circulate his true energy, but the pain that penetrated to his bone marrow made him scream.

Forcibly controlling the uncontrollable power of the military formation to resist a master of innate cultivation brought about the expected backlash on his body.

We must stand up.

Linghu Zhishu gritted his teeth, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He had to make the Wolf Fang Guards, who were still fighting, see that he was still standing, that he was the final victor, and that Tiger's Nest Plain had to be taken.

If you lose your martial arts cultivation, that's fine. As long as you're alive and your mind is still sharp, that's enough!

He struggled, little by little, using the knife to support his body, to slowly get up.

He was surrounded by deafening shouts of battle. He tried to open his eyes, but they were filled with blood, and all he could see was a blood-red blur. He couldn't see anything at all.

Suddenly, a hand appeared under his arm and helped him up.

He assumed that some of his men fighting below the city walls had finally been freed to come and support him.

"Kill Cui Shu, and display his head to command Tiger City!" he ordered.

"That won't do. I still have a great use for this Cui Shu!" The familiar voice in his ear made Linghu Zhishu freeze. He turned his head and blinked hard with his bloodshot eyes, trying to see who was supporting him.

"Brother Linghu, you heard me right, it really is me, Li Dachui!" Li Dachui said, supporting Linghu Zhishu.

Linghu Zhishu's meridians were severed, and his internal organs were seriously injured. Half of the injury was caused by Cui Shu, while the other half was caused by his own self-inflicted injury from forcibly controlling an excessive amount of true energy.

Li Dachui, a skilled healer, knew immediately upon touching Linghu Zhishu that he was doomed.

"Why is it you?" Linghu Zhishu's stiff body slowly softened, and a smile appeared on his blood-smeared face: "Why is it you again? Li Dachui, I heard it. The fighting outside is the sound of your troops, isn't it? The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Are you the oriole again?"

“The Lu family of Fanyang allied with me a long time ago!” Li Dachui said softly, “The encirclement of me on the banks of the river was also part of the plan.”

"I understand. So the Lu family sold the intelligence about our planned attack on Tiger City to Cui Shu! Cui Shu thought he was an ally of the Lu family, and we also thought the Lu family was an ally of us. In reality, you are the ally!"

"Is such that!"

Linghu Zhishu was silent for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Damn, that's stupid!"

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Li Dachui said, "You know your current situation, you won't survive! I can deliver your last words to Linghuye and your wife and children."

"I have nothing to say!" Linghu Zhishu said, "If I die, you'll burn me to ashes and scatter me with the wind, leaving not a trace. That would be truly shameful!"

“Okay!” Li Dachui said.

"Since Yu was born, why was Liang born too!" Linghu Zhishu's voice grew softer and softer as he muttered, "The most unfortunate thing in my life is being born in the same era as you, Li Dachui. Damn it, damn it!"
