Chapter 84: Sword Qi Like Rain! Mastering Life and Death!
“There’s poison…”
The figure in green swayed, his face turning pale as a numbness spread throughout his body from the wound, the silver needle coated with deadly poison.
Su Hao watched the scene unfold before him, clearly sensing the animosity between the parties. The three, led by the Green-Clothed Elder, were all formidable, and their methods were quite sinister!
However, Su Hao had no interest in discovering the details of their grievances or figuring out who was right or wrong.
“Hehe… This kid has quite a talent, and he’s a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist. If we refine him into a Human Pill, it could help us recover some of our losses,” said a Thin Swordsman among them, licking his lips with a venomous gleam in his eyes.
Lin Que, the figure in green, had been at odds with them for quite some time, causing the death of many of their members. Now that they had finally captured him, they could not allow him to die so easily!
“Take… take me away, the Flood Dragon Snake blood… I have…”
Lin Que felt dizzy and his speech was slurred. His only hope was to convince Su Hao, the unknown buyer of the Flood Dragon Snake blood, to help him escape in exchange for the blood, perhaps granting him a slim chance of survival.
But before Su Hao could respond, the Thin Swordsman coldly interjected, “This person is in cahoots with Lin Que. It’s better to eliminate him to completely eradicate the threat. Let’s take him as material for refining the Human Pill.”
Su Hao shook his head helplessly. Although he didn’t know who was right and who was wrong, the way the three continually mentioned refining a Human Pill didn’t paint them as good people. Would they even let him go?
“Gentlemen, this person is merely looking to trade with me. Why must you involve me? Let me remind you… I’m quite proficient in fighting. If you engage me, you might all end up dead.”
Su Hao said slowly. He had become entangled in the feud between these two factions while seeking the Flood Dragon Snake blood. That was the way of the martial world; whether one wanted trouble or not, it would always come knocking!
“Still trying to bluff? Knowing our identities… you’d probably scare yourself into wetting your pants!” The Fat Man chuckled lightly.
To deal with the troublesome Lin Que, who had caused them significant losses, the three of them had come together, a show of respect for their formidable opponent. Each of them was a Martial Artist at the Transforming Tendon Level, and given that Su Hao’s identity was unclear and he was suspected to be an ally of Lin Que, they preferred to eliminate him rather than risk it!
“C… careful…” Lin Que, the green-clothed figure, could barely stand and had collapsed on the ground, struggling to issue a warning.
“First, break his arms!”
No sooner had he spoken than the Thin Swordsman could no longer contain himself and chose to strike first. Drawing his longsword from his waist, he moved like a shadow, his form following the blade, and in a flick of his wrist, his sword seemed to split into two, then into four.
In an instant, it appeared as if he was attacking Su Hao from four different directions. The trembling sword tips made it impossible to grasp their trajectory, rendering any defense futile!
“That sword… I’ll have to give it my all to block it,” Lin Que thought, feeling a chill. Even for him, with his exceptional talent and insight, blocking the Thin Swordsman’s stunning strike without being poisoned was going to be very difficult.
Su Hao remained unfazed; he reached down and grabbed Lin Que’s fallen longsword, taking it in hand.
With the longsword now in his grasp, facing the Thin Swordsman’s blade that seemed to divide into four, Su Hao suddenly moved.
Whoosh!
The sword light was soft and dazzling, but it gradually became hazy. The fine sword rays fell like raindrops, expanding into a formidable momentum as if a torrential downpour was flooding the scene, drowning everything in its path!
“What?”
The Thin Swordsman froze, staring in shock as the dense sword light bore down on him. While he could see its approach, he found himself unable to defend against it, a creation so exquisite that it showed no flaws. His magnificent attack, dividing into four, was instantly overwhelmed and drowned out by Su Hao’s relentless barrage, akin to a trivial trick before a master.
“Ahhh!”
The Thin Swordsman gritted his teeth and let out a series of roars, pushing his potential to the limit in an attempt to withstand Su Hao’s relentless, rain-like sword momentum.
But it was of no use; he could block one or two swords, but he couldn’t withstand ten or a hundred!
“Poof! Poof! Poof!”
With a series of flesh-tearing sounds, the Thin Swordsman’s shoulder, abdomen, and chest were pierced by the dense Sword Qi, creating numerous bloody holes.
Blood dripped from the gaping wounds in his body, falling to the ground in a patter and creating vibrant splashes of red. The Thin Swordsman looked at the Black-Clothed Masked Person before him, filled with disbelief and fear.
He never imagined he would die so easily, and to be completely suppressed by an opponent using the sword technique he took such pride in, producing holes in his body in an instant!
The Dripping Rain Sword Technique, one of the initiated-level martial arts that Su Hao practiced, had its Sword Qi dense as rain, capable of penetrating stone. Su Hao had already mastered it to the Perfection Realm, and now, wielding it at his current level, it unleashed considerable lethality.
“This sword is of very poor quality; it can’t compare to the ones I forge!”
Su Hao looked speechlessly at the broken longsword in his hand. The quality was so subpar that it couldn’t handle his strength, and after just executing the Dripping Rain Sword Technique, it had snapped!
“Thud!”
The Thin Swordsman collapsed limply to the ground, with his heart and abdomen pierced, leaving him with no life to live.
“One… one strike killed this Swordsman? He was a Transforming Tendon Martial Artist!”
The Green-Clothed Person, Lin Que, stared in shock at the scene before him. The Thin Swordsman had displayed notable strength with his strike; if he were in that position, he would probably have to go through a fierce battle to win. But this Black-Clothed Masked Person had pierced through him in a single move, showcasing an unimaginable level of power!
“Third brother!”
The Fat Man and the Green-Clothed Elder looked at the fallen Thin Swordsman, their hearts chilling.
“Damn… to encounter such a formidable Black-Clothed Person by chance, killing Third Brother in one strike?”
The smile on the Fat Man’s face froze, and he cursed inwardly.
Transforming Tendon Martial Artists were regarded as Masters in Evergreen City; however, who could have expected that this Black-Clothed Person, who seemed to be associated with Lin Que, possessed such strength that he could kill a reasonably strong Transforming Tendon Martial Artist with a single strike?
The Green-Clothed Elder managed to force a smile, cupping his hands, and said, “Your strength… truly impresses me. We are martial artists from the All Living Beings Sect; this young man has killed many of our people, and we were just seeking revenge for him. The death of Third Brother is his own fault for being reckless. I hope you won’t hold it against us!”
Earlier, the three had talked about turning Su Hao into a Human Pill, but after Su Hao casually killed the Thin Swordsman, it made them realize his terror. Clearly, Su Hao had killed their people, yet their attitude shifted to one of friendliness and humility!
“All Living Beings Sect?”
Su Hao felt a slight stir in his heart; he had heard this name before.
The All Living Beings Sect, established under the guise of saving all beings, was, according to Su Hao’s knowledge, a powerful rebel organization that aimed to overthrow the imperial authority and harm the common people. It gathered various people from all walks of life, including those with wicked methods and heinous crimes. Over the years, the shadows of the All Living Beings Sect had been present in many uprisings, natural disasters, and calamities, signifying its vast power!
