Chapter 23: The Beggar Boy
ajesty, this matter cannot be blamed on the minister" 。"Liu Fangliang explained, 'The Ming army is also recruiting soldiers. They pay half a tael of silver per month.'" 。Our military's silver pay was..."No good!"
At the moment Su Xin's phantom strike was unleashed, a figure dashed swiftly onto the battlefield from afar.
The sword light was hazy, incredibly fast.
Both twin brothers' eyes widened in terror, realizing they were too slow to block the sword.
Hmph!
The sword light first swept past the twin brother's 'elder', sending his head flying. Just as the sword light continued towards the 'younger' brother, a powerful and overwhelming surge of energy swept in, colliding with the sword light and causing it to change direction slightly.
With a whoosh, the sword sliced through and severed the 'brother's' entire arm.
Had that sudden burst of energy not appeared, his head would have been chopped off.
"Are there any more strong ones"
Su Xin frowned, looking at the figure that had already appeared beside the severed-arm 'brother'.
He was a bald middle-aged man in a robe. Judging from the aura that had just erupted, his cultivation should have reached the peak of the Sea Transformation stage. Remember the URL
This time, the Liushui Gang paid a huge price to ask the Pang family to intervene... And since the Pang family knew that the Su family would also send people, they were prepared to completely keep the Su family's people.
So this time, the Páng Family sent not only three cultivators who had reached the peak of the Sea Transformation stage, but also one who had achieved complete mastery of the Sea Transformation, which is this bald middle-aged man sitting in the shadows.
Damn it, I should have made my move sooner.
This bald middle-aged man, Pang Tieyun, looked at his twin brothers who were one dead and one injured, his face ashen.
He was very familiar with the strength of these twin brothers. Together, even a full-fledged Haihuan expert would struggle to defeat them in a short time. Yet, this Su Xin before him was merely a Zhenwu realm practitioner. Although his strength wasn't weak, and his swordsmanship was quite exquisite, it was purely defensive. So he felt very secure and hadn't considered that Su Xin could do anything to them at all.
Who would have thought, Su Xin didn't make a move at first, but once he did, he instantly drove the twin brothers into a desperate situation.
He acted immediately to save people, but he only managed to save one person, and that person ultimately lost an arm.
The young master of the Su family
Pang Tieyun's eyes were blazing with boundless killing intent as he stared at Su Xin, "So young, to kill a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator head-on... Such a genius... Although our Pang family lost a Nascent Soul Stage expert, if we can exchange his life for yours, it would be worthwhile!"
"Kill me You" Su Xin sneered.
"Hmph!"
PANG Tieyun said no more, he directly took out his weapons, two crimson gold great hammers.
This crimson great hammer, each one probably weighs several hundred pounds, yet this Pang Tieyun grips one with a single hand and seems effortless.
The next moment...
Bang!
With a single stride, the ground beneath them shattered. Pang Tieyun appeared before Su Xin in a flash, his two massive hammers spinning like wheels of fire and fury.
"Eighteen Hammers of Mount-Shattering!"
Pang Tieyun's face flushed red, his power had already reached its peak!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two crimson gold hammers furiously smashed down, each strike crushing the air with such force that it produced a violent sonic boom.
Faced with the hammer blow, Su Xin remained unfazed.
"Like a bolt from the blue!"
Boom!
Su Xin's swordsmanship also erupted directly.
Like a volcanic eruption, it erupted in an instant, shaking the heavens and earth.
Like a bolt from the blue, its power obliterates everything for miles around, shaking the very foundations of heaven and earth.
In the Mountains and Seas Classic, once one truly reaches the level of 'momentum', every sword strike contains terrifyingly powerful lightning and fire.
The power coursing through his veins, when he used the Illusory Shadow Style to slay the twin brothers just now, was only slightly activated. But now, it has been instantly activated to 70%!
Su Xin had long had a plan for his bloodline power.
In an ordinary battle, he can unleash 50% of his bloodline power.
If you encounter a formidable opponent, unleash 70% of your power.
As for ten percent of his bloodline power... Unless it was a crucial battle, Su Xin would absolutely never fully unleash ten percent of his bloodline power.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ~~
The blazing sword light clashed with the two hammers that came smashing down in a frenzy.
Every collision produced a deafening roar, and the surrounding space rippled with the force of their clash. The shockwaves from their battle even sent tremors outwards, injuring some of the gang members on the periphery who were caught in the blast. They were instantly left reeling, blood spurting from their seven orifices.
Boom! Boom!
After eighteen consecutive collisions, Pang Tieyun's massive hammer came to a halt. The next moment, the entire person was struck by the long sword, retreating in disgrace.
"He, a True Martial Realm expert, used his swordsmanship against my Meteor Mountain Eighteen Hammers head-on, and I actually lost" Pang Tieyun's face was filled with disbelief at the moment.
He just said he would use Su Xin's life to make up for the loss of that Hua Hai Da Cheng from the Pang family, but now...
"Indeed!"
At this moment, Su Xin's face was sporting a strange smile. "Although I'm only at the peak of the True Martial Tenth Layer, relying on the bloodline inheritance technique and unleashing 70% of my bloodline power, that strength is completely equivalent to a Sea Transformation Great Accomplishment, nearing the perfection level. And with my swordsmanship... ordinary Sea Transformation Perfections wouldn't stand a chance against me."
In terms of power, he is actually a bit weaker than this Pang Tieyun.
When it came to swordsmanship and martial arts, he was far superior to this Pang Tieyun. Even in a straight-up confrontation, relying on the terrifying power of his Lei Huo Ju (Thunder Fire Scroll), he wasn't afraid at all.
“You just...wanted to kill me” Su Xin’s eyes gradually turned cold. “Now I want to see who kills whom!”
Su Xin was about to step forward.
With his skills, Lei Huo Juan and Xu Ying Shi alternating seamlessly could very well completely defeat this Pang Tie Yun.
But just then...
"You guys are too loud!"
Wow!
The dazzling blade light suddenly sprang up from a corner of the street.
The blade swept through the air, covering a radius of tens of meters in an instant.
But within this radius of dozens of meters, there were still a large number of gang members from two major gangs fighting, but now, under the sweep of the blade light, chirp chirp chirp~~~ one after another figure was cut in half.
In an instant, within that radius, there was no one else standing there besides the wielder of the blade.
"My God!"
"This!"
The battlefield, which had been a scene of utter chaos and frenzied carnage, came to a complete standstill at this moment.
Members of both gangs, without any orders, simultaneously stopped their actions. Everyone stared with terror and awe at the corner where the flash of the blade appeared.
Lian Suixin and Pang Tieyun couldn't help but look over.
There, the man who had been half-lying against the wall, a 'beggar,' had stood up at some point. He lifted his head, revealing an incredibly youthful 'boy's' face.
At first glance, he doesn't look much bigger than Su Xin.
This scruffy beggar boy, carrying a long sword on his shoulder, grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
But his smile sent a chill down the spines of those around him.
"Master! A true master!"
"He is ten or even a hundred times stronger than that bald middle-aged man from the Pang family!"
Su Xin's eyes flashed, he had noticed the presence of this beggar boy a long time ago, and at that time he felt that the beggar boy was rather strange.
And the moment that burst of brilliant sword light, made him feel an unparalleled tremor in his heart.
Under the gaze of everyone, the beggar boy ignored the ordinary bystanders beside him and stepped forward, walking right up to Su Xin and Pang Tieyun.
"Hey, bald guy
The beggar boy first glanced at Pang Tieyun and said, "You are a cultivator of the Perfect Sea Realm, as am I. Come on, show me your strongest move and attack me."
Even the beggar boy now revealed his cultivation, indeed only at the perfect level of the Sea of Transformation, comparable to Pang Tieyun.
His spiritual energy was palpable, but it surpassed Pang Tieyun's by a considerable margin. It's highly likely that this beggar boy's cultivation method is quite unique, allowing his spiritual energy to erupt with power far exceeding that of cultivators at the same level.
"Your Excellency, you are not from the Su family, nor are you a member of the Heiyan Gang. We are not enemies, there is no need to..." Pang Tieyun did not want to make a move.
To be precise, the beggar boy's blade had already frightened him; he didn't have the courage to fight back.
But before he could finish his words, the beggar boy frowned and snapped, "Just make your move! Stop rambling!"
Pang Tieyun's face darkened, knowing he couldn't resolve this peacefully. He mustered his courage and directly attacked.
Boom!
PANG Tieyun was still wielding his two red gold hammers, unleashing a powerful aura as he frantically smashed towards the beggar boy.
The beggar boy, seeing this, frowned.
"Clumsy, with no substance, just brute force," the beggar boy sneered, then drew his blade.
Wow!
It is still an incomparably brilliant blade, the light dazzling, like a leaf boat drifting in the void.
Poof!
Pang Tieyun's crimson golden hammer was cleaved in two by the blade, and along with it, his entire body was split from top to bottom. He didn't even have time to let out a scream before he died.
"Trash!"
"Even I can't handle a single strike from him, he's utterly useless!"
The beggar boy continued to complain discontentedly.
And the members of the two major gangs surrounding them, as well as the high-level experts who had reached the Sea Transformation Realm, were all dumbfounded upon seeing this scene.
One strike, or just a casual strike A fellow cultivator who was at the same level as him, a perfect Sea of Transformation powerhouse, died
At this time, the beggar boy's gaze once again drifted towards Su Xin.
Su Xin's face was grave, and his heart was on high alert.
This beggar boy before us has terrifying strength, and what's most important is that his style of action is completely unrestrained.
He wasn't a member of either gang; he probably just stumbled into this street fight by accident. But the moment he acted, he killed dozens of gang members. Even Pang Tieyun from the Pang family had nothing to do with this beggar boy and bore no grudge against him.
And still, this beggar boy killed him with a single blow.
Unrestrained!
Without any hesitation.
He's absolutely insane.
Su Xin had no doubt that the beggar boy was about to make a move to kill him next.
Don't be nervous
As if seeing Su Xin's vigilance, the beggar boy grinned. "Just now that bald one was just too weak, too disappointing for me to make a move. But you are different, your cultivation might be a little lower, but your swordsmanship is extraordinary. If I'm not mistaken, what you just used should be the Beicang Sword Art, right"
"Su Xin nodded.
"
Although he was wary, he was not afraid.
This beggar boy is strong, but once someone truly tries to kill him, he will mercilessly unleash the Divine Obliteration Technique. Once the technique is used, his combat power will instantly surge to the Void-Breaking Realm. At that point, the beggar boy will have to consider whether he can survive in the hands of his opponent.
"As expected!"
"The number one swordsmanship recognized by the Heavenly Flame Empire!"
The beggar boy's eyes flashed a glimmer of surprise, "Over the past two years, I have traveled all over the world, passing through eighty-six counties of the Nine States, and fought with countless powerful warriors. Among them, there are also some sword masters, but you are the first one who can perform the Northern Azure Sword Art!"
"Come, unleash your swordsmanship and fight me!"
"Let me see, is your Bei Cang Sword Art more powerful, or is my swordsmanship even better!"
……ight, Elder Two could directly kill that Patriarch Pang."Over the past few days, nearly ten Huahhai Realm powerhouses, including Pang Jiagong, have died at the hands of the Second Elder.There are ten...
