Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

Moreover, this was an indoor fight, and the main gate was heavily guarded, so the group had virtually no room to maneuver or make any moves.

Knowing he could no longer stand by and watch, Six-Fingered Black Knight immediately gave the order.

"Break through with all your might!"

This statement signifies that there is no room for negotiation between the Mohists and Yan Dan.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight could not stand idly by and watch these Mohist leaders be killed by the guards of Yan Dan's mansion.

As for reconciling with Yan Dan, it seems unnecessary.

Some things, once done wrong, can never be undone.

Upon hearing Six-Fingered Black Knight's words, the Mohist leaders no longer held back.

"The wind howls... the Yi River is cold!"

Gao Jianli spoke in a deep voice, unleashing his ultimate move.

This line of poetry in the original work was composed by the group when they were seeing Jing Ke off.

This world is a unique skill created by Gao Jianli by combining his two swords.

Wind-whistling sword, Water-chilling sword.

These two swords were crafted by Xu Qing and Master Xu respectively. Just as Jing Ke and the Broken Rainbow Sword had a unique compatibility, these two swords could also be combined in Gao Jianli's hands to unleash even greater power.

If Gao Jianli only had one sword, it would actually be a burden for him.

In the original work, he repeatedly suffered backlash from the Water Cold Sword.

Although Yi Shui Han is powerful, it can harm both others and the user.

If the power of the sword is overused, the user will be corroded by the cold air.

However, these problems no longer exist after acquiring the Wind-Slaying Sword.

The chill that had invaded the body would be blown out by the Wind Howling Sword, and then added to the original power of the Water Cold Sword. The gale blew the ice and snow, turning it into a vast snowstorm.

This move had no effect when facing Xu Qing before, but it proved very effective against the Crown Prince's personal guards.

A cold wind arose out of nowhere, and ice crystals condensed, flying towards the guard like sharp blades in the gale.

The reception room was cramped, making it difficult for everyone to move around. Conversely, it also made it difficult for the guards to form a battle formation and perform their duties effectively.

"Ahhhhh!!"

A scream rang out, and someone's body was immediately sent flying.

Seeing this, Jing Ke also swung his Broken Rainbow Sword, and a crimson sword light burst forth, clearing a path to survival.

Master Xu and Dao Zhi then moved closer to Six-Fingered Black Knight, covering his escape as he ran towards the door.

With Gao Jianli and Jing Ke's formidable skills, they quickly rushed out of the gate and into the courtyard.

The real trouble has only just begun here.

Because of Yan Dan's previous orders, many guards realized that the incident at Yan Chun Jun's residence in the past was very likely to be repeated, and if it was not handled properly this time, they might be in deep trouble.

Therefore, within a very short time, the many guards in the mansion had already assembled.

Besides those who rushed into the reception room, others had set up a battle formation in the courtyard, ready for battle.

When Gao Jianli and his men rushed out, they were met with a barrage of arrows.

"Fire arrows!"

Arrows rained down upon them in a dense barrage, and Gao Jianli and Jing Ke fought valiantly to block them.

Dao Zhi also used his lightness skill to intercept the arrows that were aimed at the Grand Master and Master Xu.

However, this is merely a drop in the ocean and cannot truly resolve the crisis.

Just at this time.

boom!

A loud rumbling sound came from inside the house.

Along with this, a figure flew out of the air, and as it flew out, black blood dripped down continuously.

Many guards were stunned upon seeing this figure.

"Prince!"

"His Royal Highness!"

This figure was none other than Yan Dan.

What shocked them even more was the figure that followed Yan Dan as she flew out of the sky.

That's Xu Qing.

He traversed the air and arrived beside Yan Dan. With a slash of his longsword, countless sword lights flew out and struck Yan Dan's body one after another. With a whoosh, Yan Dan's body was instantly shattered into countless pieces, like rain.

During this time, none of his self-defense measures came to any use.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Qing's empty left hand made another grabbing motion in mid-air, and an invisible phantom flew out from the broken limbs—it was Yan Dan's soul.

Last time, although Xu Qing killed Yan Dan, his skills were still too shallow, and he did not destroy Yan Dan's soul, thus giving Donghuang Taiyi the opportunity to "revive" Yan Dan. This time, Xu Qing decided to destroy Yan Dan's soul completely.

Yan Dan's soul flew into Xu Qing's hand. Then, Xu Qing reversed the "Spirit Ascension" method, and in an instant, Yan Dan's spirit and soul completely vanished.

Chapter 259 One Sword Breaks the Army

Xu Qing could actually retain Yan Dan's soul and then try to explore those hidden secrets within it.

But in the end, he still chose to kill Yan Dan.

Are those secrets really that important?

It doesn't seem to be anything very important.

On the contrary, Xu Qing always felt extremely awkward as long as Yan Dan lived.

After thinking it over, I decided it would be better to kill Yan Dan completely and destroy his soul.

After Xu Qing swiftly dispatched Yan Dan, the rest of the people in the arena were stunned.

Before the guards could even cry out "Your Highness the Crown Prince," they saw their prince being chopped into pieces, with many fragments scattered all over them.

This left the guards stunned.

Immediately following was extreme anger.

When Lord Yanchun was murdered in his residence, many people were implicated. In his fury, the Prince of Yan punished many of the guards of his residence. Although he did not kill them, they failed to protect their master and their fate is not good.

It was precisely because of the lessons learned from the past that these guards of the Crown Prince's residence went mad.

The fact remains that the crown prince was killed by the other side.

The only thing they can do right now is to capture the murderer who killed the crown prince.

Only in this way can the king's anger be appeased.

The tragic fate of the guards at Lord Yanchun's mansion in the past was partly due to their inability to capture the murderer and the resulting losses.

"He killed His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Kill him!"

Someone let out a roar.

The arrows that were originally aimed at Six-Fingered Black Knight and his group suddenly shot towards Xu Qing.

Xu Qing remained suspended in mid-air; no one knew how he managed to do it.

Faced with the volley of arrows, he remained calm and with a gentle flick of his longsword, the arrows were deflected and sent flying back to where they came from.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Screams rang out one after another.

Xu Qing's voice rang in the ears of Six-Fingered Black Knight and the others again, "Concentrate, follow me, I'll lead you out!"

Hearing this, Six-Fingered Black Knight and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

Although they were shocked that Xu Qing killed Yan Dan, they did not question Xu Qing's strength.

At this moment, some people couldn't help but think of the rumors about Xu Qing from years ago.

It is said that this person broke into the residence of Lord Yanchun in this city of Ji, killed Lord Yanchun, and then calmly escaped from the State of Yan under the pursuit of thousands of pursuers, even causing the State of Yan to suffer heavy losses.

In other words, Xu Qing is a professional at breaking through enemy lines single-handedly.

Because of Xu Qing's past, they couldn't help but feel a renewed hope for escaping this place.

Gao Jianli clashed his two swords, the swords ringing out crisply. The Wind Howling Sword stirred up a swirling current of air, while the Water Cold Sword condensed into specks of ice crystals. The two forces intertwined to form a wind and snow barrier, blocking and freezing all the arrows that came flying in front of him.

Jing Ke, wielding the Broken Rainbow Sword, unleashed a crimson sword aura that blazed like wildfire, cleaving through the crowded guards in front of him and clearing a narrow path for everyone.

Xu Qing hovered in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the densely packed armored soldiers in the courtyard.

These guards were all elite troops of the Yan Kingdom, their armor gleaming and their weapons arrayed. Now, ignited by the rage over the assassination attempt on the crown prince, they charged forward with bloodshot eyes, fearless of death.

But in Xu Qing's eyes, this kind of formation was no different from the pursuers at Yan Chun Jun's mansion back then, and even inferior.

The longsword in his hand trembled slightly, and a faint moonlight shone on its blade. The seemingly casual swing released an invisible force.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Wherever the sword energy passed, the swords and spears in the hands of the soldiers broke, their armor was torn apart as if it were made of paper, and the guards in the front row were sent flying backward with screams, tearing a gap in the dense formation.

Xu Qing swayed and landed in the center of the gap, his longsword twirling in a series of sword flowers, each rise and fall accompanied by several figures falling to the ground.

His swordsmanship was not flashy, but extremely precise. Every strike was aimed at vital points, and crimson blood flowed and intertwined, forming a winding stream in the courtyard.

Meanwhile, he kept walking, and although he didn't say much, the Mo family members followed closely behind Xu Qing.

To their astonishment, Xu Qing, like an unstoppable blade, forcefully pierced through the layers of guards' obstruction.

It was precisely because Xu Qing was so fierce that the pressure on the Mo family members was greatly reduced.

This made them worry about Xu Qing again.

Can one person really hold out if they charge into battle head-on?
