Chapter 110 Heartless Slash!
A domineering blade light burst forth from the darkness beneath the ground, and an overwhelming, terrifying blade intent instantly enveloped Pi Xiaotian's entire body.
The flashing blades carried an astonishing killing intent and a chilling aura that pierced straight to the heart!
Pi Xiaotian instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his blood seemed to freeze, and he stood there frozen in place.
"Be bold!"
Cao Shaoqin, who was standing to the side, was shocked to see someone dare to kill someone right under his nose.
This was blatant disregard for Cao Shaoqin, which enraged him. With a shout, he leaped forward.
With a light tap of his toes, he soared into the air like a giant bird, and in the next instant, he and his sword hurtled straight toward the mysterious man.
Then, a clanging sound of metal striking metal rang out, and Cao Shaoqing managed to withstand that domineering and brutal strike!
"Return to the Sea with a Single Blade!"
Cao Shaoqin recognized the man at a glance; it was none other than Guihai Yidao, the top-ranking imperial secret agent of the Dragon Guard Manor!
Looking at the person next to Zhou Huai'an, judging from his attire, it should undoubtedly be Duan Tianya!
Unexpectedly, the Dragon Guard Manor has been quite generous this time, actually sending two imperial spies here.
As far as he knew, Guihai Yidao had once joined Jueqing Manor and learned martial arts from Badao. Jueqing Manor had a rule that one had to kill seven close friends with whom one ate and slept within seven years!
In just seven years, of the 128 disciples, only Guihai Yidao remained, and he eventually mastered the Ruthless Slash of the Overlord Blade!
Heartless! Heartless! Severing ties with family! Severing ties with friends! Severing ties with pity! Severing ties with love! This is the Heartless Slash!
Not only did he fully inherit the true essence of the Overlord Blade technique, but he even surpassed his master.
In the final battle with his master, Ba Dao, he gained a preliminary understanding of the sword's intent, forcing Ba Dao to swear never to touch a sword again in his life, and the Jueqing Manor was no more!
Seeing that his strike was blocked by Cao Shaoqin, Gui Haiyi raised his head slightly, revealing a handsome face as cold as a blade, and stared at Cao Shaoqin expressionlessly.
"You're not bad at all, being able to withstand one of my blows!"
"Hmph! I've long wanted to rid myself of you troublesome fellows for the sake of the Grand Supervisor," Cao Shaoqin retorted, not to be outdone.
“You are now blatantly obstructing the Eastern Depot from arresting suspects. I will kill you on the spot, and Lord Divine Marquis will surely have nothing to say.”
"Oh? Why not give it a try!"
Gui Haiyi remained expressionless, responding coldly as if he were someone who never showed any emotion, nor did he experience joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
He was a man of few words; after saying this, he said no more.
He was never one to talk much; he only believed in the knife in his hand, and that there was only one knife in the world!
He gripped the hilt of the knife, channeled his inner energy, and instantly unleashed a flash of light. His ruthless and cold-blooded blade flashed, slashing straight at Cao Shaoqin!
This strike was unlike any swordsmanship imaginable; it was devoid of any warmth, just as swordsmanship should be—cold and merciless.
Seeing this strike, Cao Shaoqin dared not be careless in the slightest. He unleashed his full power of the Heavenly Gang Child Skill to its highest level.
His robes fluttered even without wind, and his aura surged forth, reaching straight into the sky!
Then, with a swift movement, he drew his longsword.
The body moves with the sword, and the sword moves with the body. The true energy on the sword emits a magnificent and domineering aura, fiercely stabbing towards Guihai with a single slash!
sough--
The vast desert sands were instantly cleaved by Cao Shaoqin's burst of sword energy, leaving a long trail.
Such a sword strike was simply astonishing, containing variations while being incredibly swift and powerful.
It's hard to imagine that a eunuch could use such amazing swordsmanship, and unlike the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique which follows a bizarre path, he directly uses his power to overwhelm people!
This sword strike also subtly brought Cao Shaoqin to the threshold of the late stage of the Innate Realm!
The two sides clashed without holding back, their swords clashing and their inner energy colliding, raising a cloud of dust that obscured their vision.
In the blink of an eye, the outcome was decided between the two sides.
There was a "bang" sound.
Cao Shaoqin was ultimately outmatched. Under the shocked gazes of those around him, he was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"What a ruthless slash! But your ruthless slash is far from complete!"
Although Cao Shaoqin was defeated, he accepted the defeat wholeheartedly. He only realized that Guihai Yidao's Heartless Slash seemed to be missing something. Otherwise, he would probably have already lost his life with that slash.
"Yes!"
Gui Haiyi responded coldly, not denying the fact that his Ruthless Slash seemed to be incredibly powerful.
However, the reason he did not reach the Grandmaster level was because his Heartless Severance technique was far from being mastered!
Heartless! Heartless! Cut off family! Cut off friends! Cut off pity! Cut off love! He can't completely abandon any of these things for now!
He was, after all, a human being, not an emotionless machine. Although he only showed his emotions to a very small number of people, he still had them nonetheless.
If one day he can truly achieve this and abandon all emotions and feelings, then it is not impossible for him to become a Grandmaster!
Pi Xiaotian, who was standing to the side, finally recovered. Seeing that Cao Shaoqin was injured while saving him, he felt a sense of shame. After all, it was embarrassing for a dignified master of the innate realm to almost die at the hands of someone else.
"No matter how high your martial arts level is, don't even think about leaving with Zhou Huai'an safely today! Black-clad archers! Fire!"
With a single command from Pi Xiaotian, he could no longer care about military tokens. If he could kill the two spies from the Dragon Guard Manor, it would be enough to atone for his sins.
Guihai's slash was truly terrifying. Those who haven't experienced it firsthand can hardly understand the feeling of being so close to death.
The rain of arrows descended like a cascading black waterfall, covering the sky and the earth.
However, Guihai Yidao simply raised his head coldly. Legend has it that when the black-clad archers are in formation, even grandmasters have to retreat, but he simply doesn't believe in such superstitions.
Facing the barrage of arrows, he showed no fear. He simply gripped his single sword in reverse, and the sword's momentum rose.
"Heartless Slash!"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly drew his sword, the blade gleaming with endless chill once more!
Before the hundreds of arrows could even get within three feet of him, they were shattered by the merciless flash of the blade!
Taking the hits passively has never been his style, he thought.
Then Guihai Yidao moved swiftly, raising his sword and taking a step. Not only was his swordsmanship outstanding, but his movement was also incredibly fast.
With a few quick taps of his feet, he was in front of the black-clad archers in the blink of an eye.
Then the Heartless Slash reappeared, with blade energy flying everywhere, truly like a tiger among sheep, unstoppable.
The black-clad archers were thrown into chaos, and the once feared black-clad archers were like toddlers just learning to walk in front of him!
In an instant, dozens of black-clad archer team members had been cut down by him.
"Qian Wucai, aren't you going to make a move?!"
Pi Xiaotian watched as his hard-earned treasure was so ravaged by Gui Haiyi, and he could no longer bear it. He hurriedly begged Qian Wucai to help.
"No problem! This time we're dealing with imperial secret agents, so the pay will have to be extra!"
Seeing that Pi Xiaotian and the others had no objections, Qian Wucai moved and slashed at Gui Hai with his sword!
