Chapter 99: Alone Against Enemies

Chapter 99: A Lone Man Against Many Enemies

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence, shimmering with a faint blue light, shot into the sky, dazzling beyond compare.

A glint appeared in Xi Jikui's eyes, then he stomped his foot and charged directly towards the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Just then, several shadows pierced through, and two of them seemed to have been prepared, moving three times faster than Xi Jikui.

These two were none other than Tian Can Sou and An Jing, who had been biding their time.

Tian Can Sou Cultivates leg techniques. Although his Realm is Earth Flower Realm, in terms of speed, probably no one present, apart from Li Fuzhou in his prime, could be his opponent. An Jing, on the other hand, had been planning this for a long time.

An Jing sneered, turning the Town Evil Sword in his hand forward.

"Chichi! Chichi!"

Immediately, Sword Qi burst from the blade, incomparably sharp and chillingly oppressive.

What sharp Sword Qi!

Tian Can Sou felt a sudden pain in his heart, and he spun his body, not daring to contend with An Jing again, fearing injury from the Sword Qi.

An Jing took the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence, then lightly landed on the ground.

"Hand over the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence!"

Xi Jikui's lunge missed. After landing, he stared straight at the Swordsman holding the Town Evil Sword.

"Your Excellency Xi, I can't help you with anything," An Jing said indifferently.

Xi Jikui's gaze was like that of a hawk and a wolf, clearly determined to obtain this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence. His ambition to eliminate Li Fuzhou was now secondary, as tangible benefits were undoubtedly more appealing than empty fame.

"I'll say it again, hand over the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence," a cold light flashed in Xi Jikui's eyes.

At the same time, the other experts also looked over, like beasts seeing fresh meat.

"I still have important matters, so I won't be admiring the moon with Your Excellencies."

An Jing was alone. Having obtained the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence, he naturally wouldn't linger. His body shot up, swiftly moving into the distance.

"Don't let him get away."

"He wants to run off with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence!"

Seeing this, the many experts present all changed their expressions.

This Swordsman!

He doesn't play fair!

Everyone who had originally intended to sit back and watch the tigers fight grew anxious.

If An Jing ran away with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence, all their efforts over such a long time would be in vain.

Countless experts rushed towards An Jing, blocking all his escape routes.

"Chih!"

An Jing swung the Town Evil Sword in his hand, first attacking Liu Qingshan, who was charging at him.

Sword Qi assailed, a cold light rolling.

Like a thorn in the back!

Even with its remaining blade, this Town Evil Sword truly lived up to its reputation as the third-ranked Peerless Sword of Tianji Pavilion.

"Not good!"

Liu Qingshan, facing the sword's edge directly, immediately felt a sense of unease. Coupled with his depleted Internal Energy and An Jing's increased Cultivation, he quickly dodged the sword's edge.

"Be careful of the Town Evil Sword in his hand!" Guo Yuchun said in a deep voice.

"Ridiculous."

An Jing's Town Evil Sword vibrated, and he swept a sword towards Guo Yuchun.

"Whoosh!"

Sword Qi flashed, reaching three zhang in length. The ground seemed to be lifted by the Sword Qi, layer upon layer flying up.

The rivers came like a dream!

Guo Yuchun gritted his teeth, stretched out both hands, and his Qi surged like a wide river. His body stepped upon several zhang of Qi waves, his robes fluttering in the strong wind.

Originally, Guo Yuchun was not his opponent, and now that An Jing had obtained the Town Evil Sword, he was like a tiger with wings.

The sword light directly tore through the surging Qi waves, and the remaining sword light passed close to Guo Yuchun's neck, just an inch away from piercing his throat.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Guo Yuchun, who landed on the ground, had a pale face and was still shaken. That sword strike truly brought him back from the gates of hell. If it hadn't been for that inch, he might have already died then and there.

What a terrifying Town Evil Sword!

With a wave of his hand, An Jing, relying on his exquisite swordsmanship and the power of the Town Evil Sword, repelled two experts, instantly chilling the hearts of all the experts present.

"When you blocked this old man just now, you showed no quarter. Now that you've encountered that Swordsman, you're like eggplants hit by frost?"

Li Fuzhou, who had just experienced being surrounded by everyone, was recuperating and recovering. But seeing An Jing about to run off with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence, he couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.

Now, these people surrounding the Peerless Swordsman was exactly what he wanted. He would sit back and watch the tigers fight, and what he needed to do now was wait until the last moment to strike and seize the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence in one fell swoop.

"What a cunning old fox!"

An Jing glanced at Li Fuzhou, remembering this grudge in his heart.

He always felt that this old fellow Li Fuzhou hadn't fully displayed his strength, seeming to be holding back, or perhaps waiting for the last moment.

This couldn't help but give An Jing a headache. Facing so many experts, he was already stretched thin, and there was also a covetous Li Fuzhou beside him.

"Let's go together!"

Tian Can Sou shouted loudly, sweeping a leg towards An Jing.

"Good!"

Li Yue, Ling Yuehua, Gu Renwo, Li Fuzhou, Tian Liu, and others also responded, fearing that if they continued to scheme against each other, the Swordsman would truly escape.

The first to charge were Li Yue and Gu Renwo.

One held a Saber, the other a Sword. Both their Saber and Sword Realms were at the fourth level of 'potential'.

Especially Gu Renwo, whose Saber Qi was thick and steady, clearly having immersed himself in Saber techniques for decades.

Saber Qi and Sword Qi crisscrossed, flying up and down.

Ye Tai'a's Sword Qi was extremely sharp, and within that Sword Qi, there seemed to be a hint of a sword's hum, disturbing one's mind.

"Buzz buzz!" "Buzz buzz!"

Sword Qi surged, like vast rivers and lakes.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

The moment the swords collided, the sound of metal clashing echoed, resounding in all directions, deafening.

Li Yue's hand trembled, and she felt her arm go numb.

Looking along the sword, she saw that the high-grade treasure sword in her hand had already developed nicks, clearly no match for Ye Tai'a's sharpness.

Gu Renwo, in his exchange with An Jing, was also forced back several steps by the Sword Qi. His expression seemed very indifferent, but his heart was incredibly solemn.

That chilling aura reached deep into his heart, and combined with the Swordsman's exquisite sword moves, it was truly formidable.

An Jing's feet skimmed the ground, and he rapidly drifted backward, leaving a long trail on the ground.

"Your Excellency, it's better if this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence is kept by me, Li."

Li Fuzhou, quick-eyed and quick-handed, instantly rushed in front of An Jing, extended his five fingers, and reached for the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence.

"Old fellow, you wish!"

An Jing sneered, turning the Town Evil Sword in his hand, attacking at an extremely precise angle, directly at Li Fuzhou's eyes.

"Brother's temper is quite fiery."

Seeing the Town Evil Sword spit out a terrifying sword light, Li Fuzhou's brows furrowed. He retracted his five fingers and quickly floated backward.

This Swordsman seemed to harbor great hostility towards him.

An Jing's body shot up, continuing to rush into the distance.

"Trying to leave?"

Tian Can Sou immediately launched himself forward, fiercely swinging a leg.

Wind sweeps withered leaves!

Whoosh whoosh!

Instantly, strong winds rose between heaven and earth, and tornadoes gathered one after another.

An Jing saw the tornado approaching, and a glimmer of light reflected in his black pupils. With him as the center, sharp and boundless Qi rays emanated.

Nine Character Sword Secret! 'Zhe' character secret!

A sword slash, as if the night sky itself was split open by the sword light, revealing a strange crack. Then, from within that crack, countless sword lights suddenly burst forth. The sharpness of those sword lights seemed capable of piercing everyone's eyes, causing everyone to close their eyes, not daring to look directly.

Countless sword lights descended from the sky, carrying the momentum of autumn winds sweeping fallen leaves.

This was the power of the Town Evil Sword. In An Jing's hand at this moment, his swordsmanship fully unleashed its entire strength.

When the two made their moves, they held nothing back, fully displaying the might of experts.

Countless sword lights swept across, finally clashing head-on with the sweeping tornado. At that instant, the earth trembled.
