Chapter 1293 – Treacherous and Sharp
Cang Zhu had already left and could not have been hiding. Sometimes the scariest thing in this world was scaring oneself.
While the Prince of Heavenly Palace was s.h.i.+vering in fright and having his internal debate, elder apprentice brother and Thousand Faces did not even spare him a glance.
The mysterious cultivator was their junior-apprentice brother. Since they had confirmed this, their entire att.i.tude towards this had changed – no matter what, nothing could happen to him.
Both elder apprentice brother and junior-apprentice sister thought the same. However, Thousand Faces was slightly worried. Elder apprentice brother was already injured. Perhaps she should do something to help him.
Before she could do anything, elder apprentice brother had already sensed her intentions. He turned back to glance at her, “There’s no need.”
After the silver roots entered the giant’s body, the giant seemed to get a boost of energy and all the injuries on its body quickly healed. The two missing heads and three missing arms grew back. With its heart prepared to face death, nothing held it back and the power that it was emitting was as strong as before.
Seeing elder apprentice brother in front of it, the three-headed giant could not be bothered with them nor where they came from. It raised one hand and attacked.
The air s.h.i.+fted like a lofty hill toppling into the ocean. A frighteningly powerful wave surged and spread in all directions.
Elder apprentice brother reached out in front and Qin Yu realized that he was a swordsman. He had never known this. Just as he was feeling surprised, his heart suddenly shrunk in his chest and a small sense of fear erupted within him.
Elder apprentice brother was not just a swordsman. He was the top swordsman in this world. In the second that he drew his sword, it was as if everything was sliced, be it what was in front of him or around him. Nothing was able to defend.
A painful howl could be heard from the giant as the wave that it created in s.p.a.ce was cut. Thereafter, a sword fell on its body continuously, tearing apart a huge chunk of meat. The frightening wound was exposing its chest!
Everyone could clearly see that the silver roots within it had been cut. The silver roots then reached out of the wound and wrapped around the chunk of meat, forcefully sealing it back up. However, the flesh that had been torn off had been devastated by the sword and there was remnant sword intent that had yet to dissipate. The flesh that was forcefully pulled back once again tore apart and fresh blood flowed out.
The giant let out a more painful-sounding howl as the wound burst open. It strongly stimulated its senses as well as its viciousness. It could die at any time and there was nothing left to lose. Killing Qin Yu was the only thing it could do for the ancient creatures.
No one could stop it. Whoever dared to stop it…would die together with it!
The giant no longer cared about the frightening wound on its chest. An intense silver light exploded from within it. This was…the power of s.p.a.ce!
Boom boom boom –
A deafening sound filled the area. Soon several horrifying cracks appeared and extended in all directions. Every crack contained a palpitating aura. It was the concentrated power of s.p.a.ce destruction.
Roar –
A single roar was like a black piercing rain. Black cracks filled the sky and charged towards Qin Yu. Elder apprentice brother frowned slightly. He s.h.i.+fted, and with a slight flick of his hand, he cut a crack in s.p.a.ce in half.
He did not stop as he turned back to slice again. Under his sword, a second crack split.
He moved behind Qin Yu and continued to slice a third one.
Thousand Faces’ expression was full of praise. Only her elder apprentice brother could destroy these cracks without reaching the level of a Saint yet. However, worry filled her eyes at the same time. This kind of extreme release of power would be a huge burden even on elder apprentice brother. Moreover, before this, he had taken a blow from the True Saint Phenomenon. He had suffered several injuries.
Her gaze s.h.i.+fted and landed on the Prince of Heavenly Palace. Thousand Faces’ lips s.h.i.+fted as she suddenly said, “Your highness, you had better not do anything rash.”
Xu She’s face blackened. Who needed her to tell him that? Do you think I dare to move in this current situation? These people from the Peach Garden were extremely scheming. Especially the muscular one. Previously, he had the impression that he was an inflexible, modest man. But what Xu She was witnessing now made him want to dig out his own eyeb.a.l.l.s.
There was nothing wrong with hiding one’s power, everyone did it. Unless it was at the most critical point, they would not easily show what they were capable of. But this was like a completely different person. The Peach Garden’s chief disciple, Tall Sostrong, was actually an exceptional swordsman…this was too shocking!
If he did not witness it himself, he would have punched whoever dared to tell him that the chief disciple of the Peach Garden was a swordsman. He would have thought that they were spouting absolute rubbis.h.!.+
In the entire Peach Garden, including the Spring Master, there was no one who used a sword. More importantly, in all the time since the Peach Garden’s chief disciple became famous, there had never been any records of him using a sword.
But there was no doubt that this was the truth. Because right in front of him, Tall Sostrong was walking around Qin Yu, the long sword in his hand slicing as quick as lightning and destroying cracks rapidly.
The sword intent was weaving!
What was even scarier than that was that Xu She realized he was no match for Tall Sostrong and his sword skills.
From fat, the cracks in the air were making gooseb.u.mps appear on his skin.
However, they were being cut so easily as if they were vegetables.
These people from the Peach Garden were too scary!
From what Thousand Faces said, is she trying to lure me into making a move? After all, this looked like the best chance. I can’t fall for it. I cannot fall for it! But even if he did not fall for it, would the Peach Garden let him live after he had witnessed so much? He was the Prince of Heavenly Palace, but at this moment, his future looked extremely bleak.
A thought came into seventh apprentice sister Thousand Faces’s mind – elder apprentice brother’s sword skill has shocked the Prince of Heavenly Palace.
That was probably the right reaction. After all, it was also her first time seeing elder apprentice brother using his sword. In the past, she had always felt that elder apprentice brother, although he looked warm on the outside, had a dangerous spirit within him. She never expected him to be a swordsman.
But why did elder apprentice brother hide the fact that he was a swordsman? There must be another reason.
Seventh apprentice sister rubbed her face and her hands suddenly stopped. Could it be a coincidence? I hid in the Lost Garden to hide my ident.i.ty. Could it be that you are the same?
Thousand Faces frowned as her gaze fell onto elder apprentice brother’s body. She suddenly lost the mood to think about this because elder apprentice brother’s condition was a lot worse than she had imagined.
Rip –
Elder apprentice brother s.h.i.+fted backwards as he looked down at his arm. His robe was cleanly torn off. The color of blood appeared before disappearing.
