A Man in the Snow: Starting with a Sword Challenge to the Northern Liang Prince's Palace

Chapter 5 A Shocking Sword Strike: Slaying the King of Northern Liang

Looking at the knife that brought despair to the world.

"Intent of the sword."

Li Chungang exclaimed in surprise.

Unexpectedly, this swordsman once comprehended the "Death" sword intent. Although incomplete, it was enough to kill martial artists of the same level.

An aura of death made Ye Yun consider giving up the struggle.

Suddenly, Ye Yun regained his senses and became alert, realizing he had almost fallen for the trap.

It seems we have no choice but to give it our all.

Ye Yun's eyes were cold and clear, and he lightly tapped his brow with his right finger.

Within Ye Yun's brow, a small, shimmering, purplish-red sword was spinning continuously. Guided by Ye Yun's thoughts, a boundless and limitless star ultimately converged into a hundred-foot-long red rainbow of light.

"Blazing Reincarnation!"

The heavens and earth changed color, turning red. The sword light, hundreds of feet long, transformed into a phoenix and collided with the blade energy that had reached the realm of death.

next moment.

The entire space seemed to be filled with the force of this sword strike.

It's paused.

bump.

A deafening collision of forces resounded, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing.

The Northern Liang Royal Palace below was filled with howls, and a violent shockwave, centered on the point of impact, swept across the entire palace like a tidal wave.

"You old scoundrel!"

"Die!"

A flash of sword light appeared.

Ye Yun's ferocious face was reflected in the eyes of Xu Xiao and the many iron cavalrymen who were protecting him.

"Xu Xiao, die!"

"You dare, you brat!"

A flash of blood, and the numerous iron cavalry, along with Xu Xiao, were all annihilated by the sword energy released from a fiery red longsword.

"Hahaha!"

Ye Yun's entire body was covered in blood, with a shocking knife wound on his chest.

Holding Xu Xiao's head in his right hand, he laughed wildly at Qi Lianhua, who was severely injured by the power of the immortal sword in the air.

"puff!"

The backlash from the power of the immortal sword injured Ye Yun's meridians and displaced his internal organs, causing him to suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.

Qi Lianhua had a deep, bone-revealing sword wound on his chest, from which blood was slowly seeping out. The iron knife in his right hand was now just the hilt.

"Boy, you will die today!"

A solid blade of energy descended instantly.

Seven people suddenly flew out from the roof.

"Master, let's go!"

The leader, wielding a long spear, thrust it at Dao Gang. Although Qi Lianhua was severely injured, he was still not someone an ordinary martial artist could withstand.

boom.

This Vajra Realm expert was violently struck by the blade and sent flying backward, crashing into the pavilion. He lay on the ground, severely injured, his life hanging in the balance.

This was a strike from a terrestrial immortal; a Vajra realm cultivator would be completely crushed in its presence.

At this time, the Northern Liang Royal Palace was completely surrounded by guards and troops from both inside and outside the city.

What a grand gesture, seven Vajra Realm experts!

"I never imagined that such a powerful sword intent existed in the world."

Li Chungang revealed a look of horror, his mind filled with the image of Ye Yun drawing out the power of the immortal sword and unleashing that sword strike.

It was as if time had frozen at that moment.

Only those with higher cultivation levels can sense that power; it is a swordsmanship power that no ordinary person can possess.

"Ye Yun, you brat, I didn't expect you to have a backup plan. Seven Vajra Realm experts are no match for me. Your life must be spared today."

Qi Lianhua knew that if he didn't kill the person in front of him today, the entire Northern Liang Royal Palace would be in danger of being destroyed in the future.

Xu Xiao is dead; we must not let the Xu family line die out.

Fortunately, none of the Xu family's descendants are in the Northern Liang royal palace today.

Otherwise, I really don't know what the consequences would be.

"Heh heh, you old scoundrel."

"Xu Xiao is dead, who dares to come up?"

Ye Yun roared at the soldiers who surrounded him.

The soldiers around Ye Yun were filled with fear as they looked at the bleeding head in his hand.

That was the head of Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Liang.

Someone actually beheaded him inside the Northern Liang royal palace.

"Young man, spare your life!"

An old and deep voice rang out.

"Kill him."

Li Yishan had not descended from Tingchao Pavilion for many years, but for the sake of his old friend Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang, he personally came down to lay out a plan to completely surround and kill Ye Yun.

Six Vajra Realm experts surrounded Ye Yun, protecting him.

"Master, we swear to protect you with our lives."

Ye Yun's eyes remained unwavering.

I never imagined Qi Lianhua was so amazing.

Beside him was Li Chungang, the Sword God.

The foundation of the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion is indeed not to be underestimated.

The already severely wounded leader of the assassins suddenly flew out, holding several black gunpowder bombs in his hand, and charged directly towards Qi Lianhua in the sky:

"You old bastard, die!"

"Master, retreat quickly."

Boom boom boom!

Qi Lianhua sensed the danger and slashed down with his sword, cutting Qi Lianhua in two. However, the gunpowder had already been crushed by him.

Explosions immediately rang out continuously.

"It is your turn to sacrifice yourselves for your master."

A clear female voice rang out from behind Ye Yun.

"Yes."

The six Vajra Realm experts exchanged glances and then nodded.

He pulled out several black fireballs from his sleeve, just like the ones used by the suicide bombers who had just self-destructed.

Two of them charged towards Qi Lianhua and Li Chungang respectively, while the remaining four charged directly towards the surrounding area from different directions, consisting of soldiers and armor.

A ruthless glint appeared in Ye Yun's eyes.

More than anything, it was resentment.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

As the explosions continued, the Northern Liang Prince's Palace seemed to shake as if an earthquake had struck.

"retreat!"

Li Yishan shouted.

Unexpectedly, the enemy was so ruthless that they actually forced six Vajra Realm experts to self-destruct.

"what!"

The Northern Liang royal palace was filled with wails and cries of agony; it was a truly horrific sight.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Yun had already been quickly taken away from the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion by Xiao Die with her ghostly movements.

When the smoke completely dissipated, Ye Yun was nowhere to be seen.

"Everyone, listen to my orders: seal off Lingzhou City. No one may enter but not leave. Anyone who leaves the city will be executed."

"Search with all your might to retrieve... the prince's head."

Li Yishan's voice choked with emotion.

"Yes, strategist."

A figure suddenly leaped into the air from the ruins. It was Qi Lianhua. He was in a terrible state, his entire body torn to shreds by the gunpowder. His aura locked onto the entire Northern Liang Royal Palace, but he still couldn't send any aura towards Ye Yun. Then he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Li Yishan looked at Qi Lianhua in the sky and bowed, saying:

"Senior, the Northern Liang royal family has suffered heavy casualties, and you are also seriously injured. Perhaps you should heal your wounds first. This matter needs to be discussed in detail."

"Hmph, my injuries are nothing to worry about. I will personally oversee Lingzhou City and make sure to kill that brat Ye Yun."

Li Chungang escaped quickly and was not affected. He arrived at a leaky pavilion and said, "You don't need to worry about the Xu family boy. I will personally go to protect him."

"Thank you, old sword god."

Li Yishan bowed again.

Xu Xiao is dead, so Xu Fengnian can't afford to get into any more trouble.

Although they were protected by many skilled assassins and had Jian Jiuhuang by their side, the gap between them and the terrestrial immortals was too great.

With an additional swordsman protecting them, their safety would naturally be even greater.

Qi Lianhua glared at Li Chungang and said, "Li Chungang, you old scoundrel, why were you watching the show? Why didn't you save my son-in-law just now?"

Li Chungang snorted coldly:

"Hmph, that sword! I never expected that his true target was the King of Beiliang."

"Qi Lianhua, can you severely injure a half-step Celestial Realm expert with a single sword strike, break through hundreds of layers of armor, and forcibly kill someone?"

Li Chungang's words left Qi Lianhua speechless.

That sword strike was truly not the work of an ordinary person.

Even those at the half-step Celestial Realm cannot do it.
