Chapter 1437 If I said I was just passing by, would you believe me even once?
"stop!"
Qin Yu was so startled that he trembled all over. He shouted loudly from the side, but instead of blocking, he quickly withdrew and retreated.
The aura this person exuded was truly terrifying, almost indistinguishable from that ferocious demon king. Moreover, the opponent's speed was outrageously fast. He had only just made a move to withdraw when the opponent's sword blade had already struck his primordial spirit's head.
Swish!
The sword light burst forth like a rainbow, cleaving out a thousand-foot-long sword beam that instantly split the broken primordial spirit in two. Crimson baleful energy erupted instantly, carrying bolts of thunderous sword intent, and rushed into every space within the broken primordial spirit's body.
His primordial spirit was cleaved in two, and the remaining sword light rushed backward, cutting more than ten cultivators into blood mist along the way before crashing heavily against the palace wall.
boom!
A deafening explosion erupted, shaking the bricks beneath the primordial spirit's feet and causing the entire courtyard to tremble.
The primordial spirit had no power to retaliate at all. Its already damaged body exploded instantly, turning into countless golden light spots that quickly dissipated.
With a single sword strike, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was annihilated. Even the remaining sword light killed more than ten cultivators, and dozens more were affected by the aftershocks of the sword light, spitting blood as they fled in a sorry state.
The power of a single sword strike is terrifying!
"..."
A deafening roar erupted as a crimson wave of energy burst forth from where the primordial spirit stood. Only then did Qin Yu and the other two manage to transform into streaks of light and retreat, landing in a distant, disheveled state, their bodies tense, their eyes fixed on that direction.
However, their eyes no longer held the previous determination to win; instead, they were filled with deep fear and horror.
As one of the strongest experts below the three city lords, and among the best of them all, Qin Yu was quite confident in his abilities.
That's why he dared to bring people to kill and steal the treasure, even though he knew the other party possessed a celestial treasure.
When he saw the other party being forced out, he thought the other party was an impatient little kid. He was quite surprised and delighted to think that he had a chance to obtain the magic treasure.
But now, that person somehow managed to break through the blockade of his three top-level formations in an instant, and even killed so many Nascent Soul cultivators with a single sword strike right in front of him.
Moreover, he was unable to see the other party's movements clearly from beginning to end.
Who is this person? Who exactly is this person?!
With such strength at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the other party could not possibly be an unknown figure. So why had he never heard of this person's name?
Qin Yu's eyes flickered with uncertainty, and the courage he had just mustered vanished completely at this moment.
Previously, when the other party was hiding in the tower and wouldn't come out, he just wanted to force the other party out as soon as possible. But now that he had actually forced the other party out, he felt that he was in great danger and had a vague feeling that he would die today.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Yu no longer dared to compete for the immortal treasure. It wasn't that he was cowardly; it was just that his sixth sense was about to kick in!
In addition, there are those three top-tier formations.
Although everything seems normal now, all the formations in the courtyard suddenly stopped working when the other party made their move.
It was as if someone had stolen all his formations right under his nose in a very short moment!
This is something even his master couldn't do, yet the person in front of him could do it. Just how powerful must this person's array formation skills be?
It was probably beyond his comprehension.
Cold sweat quickly soaked his back. Qin Yu's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked at the young sword-wielding cultivator and, with a dry voice, cupped his hands in greeting:
"I am Qin Yu. I have just met you, fellow Daoist. We were unaware that you were meditating here and disturbed your peace. We deserve to die for this."
He bowed and then said, "But what he just said was all nonsense and fabrication by this person. It has nothing to do with us. Please, fellow Daoist, see clearly and do not take your anger out on us because of this."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the courtyard immediately showed surprise. Wang and Hong looked at him with even greater astonishment and asked in low voices:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, this scoundrel stole our immortal treasures first, and then destroyed that fellow Daoist's primordial spirit right in front of us. Are we just going to let this matter go like this?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's sense of crisis instantly intensified, his eyes suddenly turning red, and he shouted at the two of them, "Shut up!"
Even his voice was trembling:
"That primordial spirit spoke recklessly and uttered nonsense, and his current predicament is entirely his own fault. What this fellow Daoist did was to rid the people of a scourge, a truly virtuous act. How dare you spout such nonsense here!"
What a bunch of bastards! Have they all been blinded by the magic of immortal treasures?
The man before them possessed a sharp swordsmanship and an astonishing aura, making him even stronger than those demon kings. Moreover, he wielded a treasure that had already recognized its master and was used to attack immortal spirits.
No matter how you look at it, these are beings they cannot handle. Even the city lord might not be able to defeat them. Yet these people still intend to continue their treasure hunt?
They've gone mad! They're willing to risk their lives for two celestial treasures!
Qin Yu turned around and glanced at the crowd. Seeing that none of them had retreated, his expression turned cold, as if he were looking at a group of dead people.
Life and death are preordained. Since someone insists on seeking death, he will not interfere with the cause and effect of others.
So he bowed to Jiang Han and said, "Fellow Daoist, please understand that I am just passing by today and do not know these people at all. This matter has nothing to do with me. If I have inadvertently disturbed you, I am willing to apologize on your behalf."
Having said that, he raised his right hand, gathered all his strength, and slammed it hard against his chest.
Click!
With all his ribs broken and his internal energy erupting violently, he actually injured himself severely with a single palm strike.
But that wasn't all. Seeing that the other person was expressionless, Qin Yu gritted his teeth and his Yuan Power surged in his arms. With two cracking sounds, he broke both of his arms!
"Fellow Daoist Qin!"
Several gasps of surprise rang out from the surroundings. No one expected that Qin Yu would surrender without a fight, and even seriously injure himself in front of the enemy, just to beg for mercy.
No, what is he afraid of? There are so many of them, surely they can't beat that one person?
Qin Yu completely ignored them. With a thought, two storage rings flew out of his body and slowly landed in front of the man. He respectfully said:
"I was wrong to begin with, and I should be punished and apologize. I will offer my entire fortune to you, fellow Daoist. However, cultivation is not easy, and I hope you can give me another chance to live."
"Oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Han's eyes, and he finally turned to look at the other person.
He hadn't seen such a pragmatic person in a long time.
When in a dominant position, they go all out without holding back; once they realize the situation is hopeless, they decisively cut their losses and seek survival without any hesitation.
Such actions make them a truly troublesome enemy.
Don't be fooled by how humble he is now; once he gets the chance, he'll definitely come back and try every means to cause trouble for him.
If that's true, that would be wonderful.
He desperately needs someone to help him gather all the treasures together and then deliver them to him.
Those who dare to rob the treasure are all bandit cultivators who like to kill and plunder. Rather than letting them go out and harm people, it is better to use ourselves as bait, which can be considered as eliminating a scourge for the people.
With his current strength, he is confident that he can take them all down.
The person before me appears to be of high status and possesses just the right strength, making him the most suitable person to do this task.
Thinking of this, Jiang Han slowly raised his hand, caught the two storage rings, then tossed one back and transmitted his voice:
"Bring more people next time."
Qin Yu was startled and suddenly looked up at the young swordsman.
With his intelligence, he naturally understood what the other party meant. The other party had anticipated that he could devour everyone here, and even asked him to continue gathering manpower to bring them all to their deaths.
This person is definitely a demonic cultivator!
But then again, this might just be an opportunity for him.
As long as this fellow Daoist is satisfied, even a tiny bit of something leaking out between his fingers will be enough for him to enjoy endlessly!
Qin Yu was shaken. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded vigorously in agreement, then quickly got up and retreated towards the courtyard gate, leaving with exceptional decisiveness and without any hesitation.
Watching his departing figure, Wang Yu had a bad feeling and couldn't help but frown and remind him:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, your formation..."
"Nonsense! I have no formation whatsoever!"
Qin Yu quickened his pace and said without turning his head, "I am but a martial artist, how could I know such profound things as formations? Fellow Daoist Wang, please stop talking nonsense!"
