Chapter 29: Conferring the Head
Everyone present took one look and felt as if their souls were pierced by the sharp sword energy through their eyes, and they dared not look again.
In an instant, Yang Jian felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as if his body was full of holes.
"Deng Zhong, no!"
Mo Liqing was startled. Deng Zhong actually used the Qingping Sword energy that Master Wen gave him for protection.
In a hurry, he only had time to use the Qingyun Sword in his hand and inserted it between Yang Jian and Deng Zhong.
He didn't think that his Qingyun Sword could block this sword energy, but perhaps it could buy Yang Jian a little breathing time.
"Demon General, once the sword energy leaves your body, it is no longer under my control. Even if I regret it, it is too late."
There was a hint of apology in Deng Zhong's words, and his eyes were full of joy after venting his anger. The look on Yang Jian's face made him feel happy.
The next moment, everyone felt that the world was silent.
Green sword energy suddenly flew out and slowly floated towards Yang Jian.
No, the sword energy is extremely fast.
The reason why everyone felt like they were floating was simply because of the existence of this sword energy, which made the passage of time seem to slow down.
The Qingyun Sword blocking the front was pierced straight through without encountering any obstacles.
It was like a hot knife cutting into lard.
The places that came into contact with the sword energy melted silently without making any sound.
Mo Liqing's expression changed slightly.
After piercing through the Qingyun Sword, it was Yang Jian's turn.
hide?
He had no way to hide. The speed of the sword energy left him no time to think, and he subconsciously used the magical power he had just acquired, [Water Cloud Body].
He couldn't be sure whether [Water Cloud Body] could dodge this sword energy, but he could only gamble.
Yang Jian's figure suddenly became blurred, and wisps of white smoke burst out from the pores all over his body, especially from the seven orifices of his head.
"Whoosh~"
The green sword energy passed through the white mist, causing ripples, and finally disappeared into the horizon.
A large pool of blood sprayed down from the sky.
However, Mo Liqing's magic weapon was damaged, and his mind was also seriously injured, and blood spurted out immediately.
"died?"
Deng Zhong's vision was blocked by the Qingyun Sword, and he could only move his body to avoid the sword that blocked his vision. He only saw a white mist left where Yang Jian was before, as if white clouds from the sky had fallen to the ground.
The fog was so thick and lingering that even a slight breeze had no effect on it.
"Thank you, General Mo, for blowing away this fog."
Deng Zhong cupped his hands and said to Mo Liqing.
Mo Liqing drew out his sword and checked the extent of the damage to the sword, a look of pain constantly showing on his face.
His entire fortune is tied up in this sword. Now that the sword is damaged, it will take a huge amount of rare and precious materials to repair it.
He ignored Deng Zhong's request.
Yang Jian had previously agreed to meet Grand Tutor Wen, but it was all because of Deng Zhong that caused trouble.
Now that Yang Jian is dead, it’s hard to tell what the attitude of Yuxu Palace will be.
If one of them is not handled properly, the two religions will become enemies.
Thinking of this, Mo Liqing was suddenly stunned.
Master Wen sent Deng Zhong to work with him to deal with the Marquis of Jizhou, but the Marquis of Jizhou was not as difficult a person as Yuan Futong.
However, under the pretext of protecting Deng Zhong, he separated a wisp of Qingping Sword's energy and gave it to Deng Zhong.
But this sword energy is extremely precious. After a strand of it is separated, the sword energy in Wen Zhong's hand will become weaker.
If you want to deal with a strong enemy, why not send the Black Qilin to come along.
Could it be that this sword energy was specially prepared for Yang Jian?
Could it be that Master Wen intends to create hostility between the two religions?
A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Mo Liqing's back. He shook his head and didn't dare to think about it. He was just a general under Grand Tutor Wen, so it would be better for him not to try to guess what the Grand Tutor was thinking.
However, Deng Zhong saw that Mo Liqing had not taken any action for a long time, and realized that he was blaming him for acting on his own.
A trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. He, Deng Zhong, is the eldest disciple of Grand Master Wen, and you, Mo Liqing, are just Grand Master Wen's subordinate, yet you are so rude to him.
Deng Zhong decided to investigate on his own, because there was no trace of any living creature in the white fog at the moment.
He wanted to grind Yang Jian's body into ashes to relieve his hatred.
Step into the white mist.
The fog was so thick that I couldn't see anything and couldn't even see my hand in front of me.
The moment you enter, the sounds from the outside world fade away.
It was eerily quiet here, with only the sound of his footsteps.
Deng Zhong couldn't help but tighten the huge axe in his hand.
Only at this moment did he realize that the white mist was tinged with a faint blue color.
As time passed, the blue color became lighter and lighter, almost disappearing.
When he took the next step, he was out of the range of the fog.
The sight suddenly became clear, and the dilapidated Jizhou camp came into view.
"Something's wrong!"
Deng Zhong frowned. The fog was not very large and he didn't find Yang Jian's body when he walked past it just now.
Could it be that Yang Jian is not dead?
No, not possible!
Just when he was in doubt.
The fog suddenly changed and surged wildly.
"Deng Zhong will die~" A cold light emerged from the white mist, followed by the naked Yang Jian.
White mist lingered around his body, flowing in and out of the acupuncture points of his limbs and bones, and his movements seemed as if thousands of troops were following him.
When Deng Zhong heard Yang Jian's voice, his face changed drastically, his legs trembled, and he almost wanted to escape.
The next moment, he smashed the giant axe in his hand directly towards Yang Jian, then turned around and fled.
While running away, he shouted to Mo Liqing, "General, save me."
Mo Liqing discovered something unusual. Yang Jian was not dead. A flash of surprise flashed through his mind. Then he spread out his hands and took out the white jade Vajra bracelet and smashed it towards Yang Jian.
He did not use his full strength, he just wanted to block Yang Jian's attack so that Deng Zhong could escape.
Yang Jian dodged the giant axe thrown by Deng Zhong, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Deng Zhong's back which was getting farther and farther away.
The demon eye between his eyebrows calculated the distance and madly yelled in Yang Jian's heart: "Kill him, kill him, this bastard must die!"
The Demon Eye was still frightened by the sword energy just now, and naturally wanted to chop Deng Zhong into meat paste.
Yang Jian glanced at the white jade diamond bracelet that was getting closer and closer, and gathered strength in his right hand.
The next moment, the bronze halberd in his hand flew out.
He whistled and stabbed towards Deng Zhong.
Without his weapon, Yang Jian was unable to resist the flying white jade diamond bracelet and could only fight it head-on.
He only had time to protect his chest with his arms to block the blow, and then he flew out.
The bronze halberd he threw out did not hit Deng Zhong as he wished.
Mo Liqing used the same trick again and blocked the attack with the Qingyun Sword.
However, the Qingyun Sword had just been severely damaged, and after this heavy blow, a crack suddenly appeared at the place where the sword was pierced by the sword energy.
Mo Liqing's face turned pale, and his spiritual injuries worsened.
He looked up, but did not see Yang Jian where he expected.
Yang Jian was seen surrounded by a puff of white smoke, rushing towards Deng Zhong, holding in his hand the huge axe that Deng Zhong had just thrown out.
"Deng Zhong! Die for me!"
The voice came from behind Deng Zhong, and he felt that the voice was getting closer and closer, as if it was right on his back.
My heart started to panic and my steps became unsteady.
He was tripped by the rocks on the ground and fell to the ground, rolling twice.
When he turned around, he saw Yang Jian riding the white mist and rushing towards him.
"I am convinced, Deng Zhong is convinced!"
Deng Zhong knew he couldn't escape, so he begged for mercy in a tearful voice.
He had always lived a life of luxury and had never seen such a scene. Facing the threat of death, he gave up his dignity as a noble of Chaoge.
Yang Jian sneered in his heart.
If he had not luckily awakened the magical power of the Water Cloud Body, he would have been a corpse by now.
There was not even a chance to beg for mercy.
He ignored Deng Zhong's pleading, and swung the huge axe straight at Deng Zhong, aiming to take his head.
Mo Liqing was even more surprised. Yang Jian had no reaction at all after being hit by his white jade diamond bracelet.
He did not choose to watch Deng Zhong being killed coldly.
He stretched out his hand and the white jade Vajra bracelet suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand. With the infusion of magic power, the white jade Vajra bracelet exuded a rich spiritual light.
"Go~"
He threw the white jade diamond bracelet fiercely towards Yang Jian, using all his strength in this attack.
If Yang Jian did not block, even if he could cut off Deng Zhong's head, he would be killed directly by the white jade Vajra bracelet.
He believed that Yang Jian would definitely choose to block, so that he would have time to rush over and save Deng Zhong.
However, Yang Jian’s extraordinary strength is so terrifying that the Qingyun Sword may not be able to be preserved.
His heart ached bitterly, but fortunately, as long as Deng Zhong was rescued, the family behind him would pay enough reward to refine the Qingyun Sword again, and maybe even reach a higher level.
Soon panic appeared in his eyes.
Yang Jian did not choose to resist, but swung his giant axe at Deng Zhong.
A head flew into the sky, then fell to the ground and rolled helplessly.
There was still fear in his eyes.
At the last moment, Deng Zhong still couldn't believe that he would die here.
The sword energy is so strong that the master said that anyone below the level of an immortal who touches it will die.
Why didn’t Yang Jian die after being hit by the sword?
[Spirit +72]
Deng Zhong actually provided so much essence.
Yang Jian had no time to be surprised.
The next moment, the white jade diamond bracelet tore through the air and approached his head.
Previously, Shen Gongbao’s mount was called Xiaobai. But based on readers’ feedback, which said that Xiaobai too much affects the sense of immersion, we changed it to Xiaohei.
