Chapter 6 - Jiang Zhong"s Great War with the black-clothed man
"Old thing, do you think you"re still General Jiang? If your cultivation was still there, of course I wouldn"t be your opponent, but can you still use your blade now? With your current strength, you still want to stop me? "
The black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin looked at Jiang Zhong with disdain. As a true qi realm Ranker, he naturally did not care about an old man who had lost his cultivation. He pulled out his sword, channeled his Qi, and rushed towards Jiang Zhong"s big blade.
"Clang!"The strength behind the sword attack of the black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin was obviously much greater than Jiang Zhong"s. The long sword clashed with the big blade, the black clad a.s.sa.s.sin laughed coldly, while Jiang Zhong retreated continuously. It could be seen that both of Jiang Zhong"s hands were slightly trembling.
Actually, not only did Jiang Zhong lose all his cultivation, he had also not recovered from his injuries. He was simply not a match for the black clothed man. The black-clothed man naturally saw through this too, and looked down on Jiang Zhong even more."Your Highness, why aren"t you leaving yet?" "I know that you are worried about me, but if you do not leave, I will only die in vain. Do you not understand?"
Seeing that Ling Dao was still standing in the arena and didn"t have any intention of leaving, Jiang Zhong instead shouted at Ling Dao. As long as Ling Dao was safe, even if he had to sacrifice himself, it would be worth it.
"Go?" Where could he go? Old thing, I"ll kill you right now! "
The black clothed man snorted coldly, his attacks becoming even more vicious. An ice-cold longsword, with a threatening sharpness, pierced towards Jiang Zhong time and time again. With regards to the understanding of martial arts, the black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin was inferior to Jiang Zhong at all.relied on his experience in battle to block the black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin, but he had always been at a disadvantage. Especially since they had fought till now, Jiang Zhong was so tired that he was panting heavily. His sabre technique was extremely swift and fierce. Unfortunately, without sufficient strength, he was unable to unleash it.
"For your highness, let"s go all out!"
Jiang Zhong clenched his teeth, ignoring his own safety, he fought with his life on the line against the black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin. When he attacked, Jiang Zhong basically did not care about the longsword in the black clothed man"s hands."d.a.m.n it, crazy!"
The black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin fought while being forced to retreat. Jiang Zhong wanted to fight him to the death, but he was naturally unwilling. He knew that the longer it dragged on, the better it would be for him. Jiang Zhong was old and injured, the longer he fought, the more impossible it would be.
"A tiger being bullied by a dog. I never thought that I would end up like this after battling for so long!"
Jiang Zhong already felt that his stamina was insufficient, let alone using a blade technique, just using a large blade was already extremely strenuous. He recalled when he followed the King Carefree to battle on the battlefield. It was so mighty, but now he couldn"t even beat a true qi realm warrior."Old thing, stop being so secretive. Since your life is suffering, why don"t you let me kill you with a single slash!"
The speed at which the black-clothed man unleashed his sword attack became faster and faster. With just true qi realm, he did not have any powerful absolute arts. After all, his talent was average, and he was not a disciple of any large power.
Rip!The sword cut through Jiang Zhong"s clothes, if not for him retreating quickly, his entire right shoulder would have been sliced off, and only a line of blood could be seen on it. Fortunately, the sword of the black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin was just an unranked iron sword.
"Your Highness, quickly leave!"A trace of killing intent flashed across Jiang Zhong"s eyes as billowing killing intent surged. He had fought in the battlefield, and many had died at his hands. At this moment, the baleful aura emanating from his body caused the black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin"s movements to become sluggish, and even the movement of striking out with his sword was delayed by a bit.
Jiang Zhong was a great general who had fought in the battlefield for many years. He naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. The broadsword that was about to collide with the longsword suddenly turned and slashed horizontally across the black-clothed man"s waist.
With Jiang Zhong"s eyesight, he naturally saw through the black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin"s weakness. If he were to attack in any other direction, the black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin would have had enough time to block. Unfortunately, he managed to cut through the black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin"s waist, and in the short term, the sword in his hand would not be able to return to block.
"Puchi!"
At this critical moment, the a.s.sa.s.sin in black mustered all of his Zhen Qi and abruptly moved to the side. For a time, sand and stone flew everywhere. The a.s.sa.s.sin quickly dodged, but unfortunately, his waist was still cut in half by the blade, and blood splattered everywhere.
"What a pity that he didn"t die!"This slash also took Jiang Zhong a lot of effort. He was also disappointed that he did not kill the black-clothed man. If he had the true qi, he would definitely die. Unfortunately, there were no ifs. The current him was not a match for the black-clothed man.
"You old thing! You dare to injure me?! If I don"t kill you today, I won"t be a human!"
The black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin laughed coldly. He naturally recognized General Jiang Zhong, or else he wouldn"t have chatted with him for so long. The great general who had once intimidated an entire region was now dead in his hands. He naturally had a great sense of accomplishment.He raised his sword high up and slashed down at Jiang Zhong. He had already seen through Jiang Zhong"s weakness, which was why he was fighting with Jiang Zhong for so long. Until now, Jiang Zhong was already on the verge of collapsing and was about to die under his sword.
"The great General Jiang Zhong of the Great Luo Dynasty has died under my sword. If this were to spread, my name would definitely shake an entire region, hehe …"With the battle having reached this point, the black clothed man already had an absolute chance of winning. The current Jiang Zhong would definitely not be able to block a few of his strikes. In terms of technique, he was inferior to Jiang Zhong. In terms of battle experience, he was inferior to Jiang Zhong. However, the current Jiang Zhong was still inferior to him.
"With my current strength, true qi realm Warriors aren"t opponents for me at all. But he is currently in a duel with the Grandpa Jiang, so he can"t even take me into consideration. Furthermore, I have the Carefree Sword that royal father bestowed to me, even if I am unable to release all of its power, just the sharpness of the Carefree Sword is enough to penetrate the black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin"s body! "
The black-clothed killer was going to deal with General Jiang Zhong, so naturally, he did not dare to be distracted. If he had different thoughts, and gave Jiang Zhong the chance, the one who would die would be him. Even if Jiang Zhong was not as strong as he was in the past, the black-clothed a.s.sa.s.sin still did not dare to be careless.
Ling Dao took a deep breath and quietly went to the back of the black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin. His face was pale and his body was weak. In fact, these actions didn"t escape the eyes of the black killer, but the black killer didn"t care about him at all.
"Such a weak youth. Even if I let you sneak attack me, what can you do to me?"The body of a true qi realm pract.i.tioner was extremely tyrannical, and Ling Dao did not have any weapon in his hand. Even if the black-robed a.s.sa.s.sin were to be attacked by Ling Dao while standing in front of him, he would not care at all.
"Your Highness, leave quickly! Don"t ever come back here!"Jiang Zhong had also noticed Ling Dao"s actions, his family members knew about his own matters, causing him to have a weak body. If he were to rush over, the black clad a.s.sa.s.sin would probably be able to kill him with a single slash!
