NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1159: Sense of Crisis
Qin Wushuang looked at Tangyu, and said coldly: "Being able to take one of my sword strikes, you do have some skill. However, today you still won't escape death. Anyone Qin Wushuang wants to kill will surely end up dead."
Such arrogance, incredible arrogance.
Who would dare to say such words? If it came from someone else, it would surely seem arrogant. But when it came from Qin Wushuang, it seemed so casual, as if he were talking about something ordinary, something widely acknowledged. Indeed, these words were fitting coming from Qin Wushuang. In terms of his strength, in the Luoyu Immortal Palace, there were only a few people he truly needed to consider.
Even someone in the Zifu Realm didn't intimidate him, let alone someone like Tangyu in the Golden Core Third Layer? In Qin Wushuang's eyes, a person in the Golden Core Third Layer is no stronger than a chick.
So earlier he had just casually swung a sword, not using much strength. He was slightly surprised Tangyu could take his sword, but it didn't matter.
Seeing Qin Wushuang preparing to strike again, Tangyu furrowed his brows deeply, knowing the danger was coming. Damn it. Tangyu grimaced as he sensed the dangerous aura, making him extremely resolute. Tangyu had no talisman left, and if the fight continued, it's apparent Qin Wushuang might kill him here.
Xuanyuan Wushang swiftly moved and stood in front of Tangyu, and Sun Wukong also positioned himself in front of Tangyu, looking at Qin Wushuang with intense battle intent. The two of them were now ready to protect Tangyu.
Xuanyuan Wushang said: "Qin Wushuang, if you have something to say, just say it clearly, what do you mean by attacking right away? I know you're strong, but we are not ones for you to torment at will. If you want to kill Tangyu, you'll have to ask if we're willing to allow that first."
Xuanyuan Wushang was obviously determined to protect Tangyu, willing to fight Qin Wushuang.
Qin Wushuang casually glanced at Xuanyuan Wushang, chuckling lightly: "Xuanyuan Wushang of the Xuanyuan Clan, you have the right to obstruct me from killing, but— you do not have the capability to stop me. If you don't want to suffer, I'd advise you not to meddle in my affairs, this is my personal matter, whoever dares to interfere, is an enemy to me, Qin Wushuang. Xuanyuan Wushang, you're no exception. I won't kill you, but I can severely injure you. Our two families have always been on good terms, and I don't wish to harm you over small matters, quickly retreat."
The tone remained domineering, still making it hard for people to breathe.
Xuanyuan Wushang resolute: "To make me leave, that is absolutely impossible. Tangyu is my brother, how could I, Xuanyuan Wushang, be a cowardly, fearsome one? If you want to fight, then let's go. Even if we're not strong enough, we'll accept it. But don't you intend to explain why you want to kill Tangyu? We just entered Luoyu Immortal Palace, is there some misunderstanding?"
Hearing Xuanyuan Wushang's words, Tangyu's heart also warmed with emotion. True friendship comes from the heart; although short-lived, it can be incredibly strong.
However, Tangyu didn't want Xuanyuan Wushang to take risks for him, so he also said: "Wushang, step aside, this is my matter, I'll handle it. It's not that easy to kill me, Tangyu." Tangyu was now resolute. How many dangerous situations had he not faced along this journey? Each time he survived without issue. So Tangyu was unafraid; if he had to die here, then it just meant fate wasn't on his side.
Xuanyuan Wushang continued looking resolutely at Tangyu: "If you consider me a friend, don't say such things. I, Xuanyuan Wushang, rarely wander outside and have made few friends, and I've finally made friends that I click with this time, if I shrink back now, I wouldn't even respect myself. Now, the four of us are united in heart, sharing life and death, advancing and retreating together. Anyone wanting to kill you, Tangyu, must answer to my sword first."
Sun Wukong also grinned: "Tangyu, don't worry, with old Sun here, I won't let him kill you. If someone wants you, they'd have to ask old Sun first."
Pan Chenyu also added: "Though my strength is lacking, I won't be a deserter. If it's a fight, then we fight together. With the strength of the four of us combined, I don't believe we can't take on Qin Wushuang. If it's a fight he wants, then let's go. Even if we die due to our weakness, there's nothing more to say."
Listening to these words, Tangyu was deeply moved, nodding heavily: "Good brothers, then let's fight together. I don't believe our strength is so lacking, that we'll die here today. Our journey is still long, it won't end here. If we fight today, then fight with me. Today's humiliation, we will surely avenge in the future, fight!"
The battle intent in Tangyu's heart was entirely ignited, and the battle intent of Xuanyuan Wushang, Pan Chenyu, and Sun Wukong was equally high, the four were of one mind, a united front.
Qin Wushuang chuckled coldly, showing obvious scorn for their united front, remaining calm as he waited for them to finish deliberating, then said: "Are you done discussing? Hmph, do you think the four of you can stop me? Truly ignorant. I said before, no one can stop Qin Wushuang from killing. Even if you come at me together, the outcome will be the same. But since two more have come to die, I will deal with you all together. Whether two more or two less matters little to me, Qin Wushuang."
After speaking, Qin Wushuang made a move again, the sword in his hand exuding unparalleled battle intent. With a single slash, countless Sword Qi erupted, each one no weaker than the previous. Each could pose a massive threat to the Golden Core Ninth Layer. In an instant, hundreds of Sword Qi were unleashed, and the momentum of the sword was indeed terrifying. Sweeping fiercely, it felt as if this whole universe would sink and shatter under the Sword Force.
Tangyu also felt that if he tried to block this strike alone, he might not survive. It was too terrifying; hundreds of Sword Qi formed a deadly Killing Formation. It was difficult to block even one, let alone so many. There was simply no way to stop it.
Facing Qin Wushuang, Tangyu felt somewhat powerless, the difference in strength was too great, and this feeling made him quite frustrated.
This sense of oppression was unbearable, a feeling Tangyu hadn't experienced in a long time.
At this moment, how Tangyu wished his own strength could surge, so he wouldn't be in such a dire situation.
Xuanyuan Wushang's strength was also not far off from Tangyu's. He now frowned deeply, having no choice but to go all out. Facing the terrifying power of Qin Wushuang, he could only fight desperately, putting his life on the line. Xuanyuan Wushang pushed his power to the extreme, nearly reaching the level of the Zifu Realm. Pan Chenyu was a bit weaker in strength; he wielded the Pangu Nine Axes, but he was still at the second axe and hadn't cultivated the third.
The combined assault of Tangyu and the others was clearly insufficient under such Sword Qi, as a storm of wind and rain swept forth, making them all sense the breath of danger, entirely fighting for their lives.
As for Sun Wukong, a beam of Golden Light erupted from his body, embodying the presence of a War God. He was at the Golden Core Realm Seventh Level, having achieved Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree and with innate Divine Power, making his strength terribly formidable. Sun Wukong, with magnificent battle intent, swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang down fiercely. Stirring up storms, the Jingu Bang shattered the Sword Qi under its might.
Sun Wukong's combat strength was overwhelming; a single strike completely blocked Qin Wushuang's offensive. Along with the force of Tangyu and the others, this time, Qin Wushuang's attack was entirely thwarted.
Qin Wushuang frowned once again, looking towards Sun Wukong. Blocked? His strike, difficult even for someone at the First Layer of the Zifu Realm to withstand, was blocked by this monkey?
Though Qin Wushuang hadn't used all his strength this time, he was absolutely confident that even a slightly weaker Zifu Realm couldn't block it, yet Sun Wukong had managed to.
Having blocked Qin Wushuang's offensive, Tangyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it was indeed blocked. If even Sun Wukong couldn't block it, there would be huge trouble today, and survival would be uncertain. Fortunately, Brother Wukong had encountered two great opportunities before; otherwise, he wouldn't have such immense strength.
Grinning, Sun Wukong waved the Jingu Bang at Qin Wushuang: "I told you, if you want to kill Tangyu, you have to ask my Jingu Bang first."
Qin Wushuang still wore an indifferent expression, calm and composed. Though his strike had been blocked by Sun Wukong, he was too proud to be stopped from killing by Tangyu. He had already declared that no one could stop him from killing; if he couldn't do it, it would be a slap in his own face.
He had said he would kill Tangyu, and he would do it, not stopping until it was done, or else where would his dignity be?
"You only blocked a single move. I haven't even used seventy percent of my strength; do you think you can stop me? Hmph, you don't have the strength," Qin Wushuang said indifferently, and then attacked again. This time, he charged directly at Sun Wukong, the sword in his hand exerting supreme might as if an Immortal had descended, making even heaven and earth submit, bowing under this sword. As the sword fell, the world instantly darkened, night enveloped the sky.
Everyone involuntarily looked up at the sky, astonished, true light seemed to veil the skies, showing Qin Wushuang's fury, unleashing his true power, terrifying indeed. Many were scared out of their wits.
Tangyu was greatly shocked as well, feeling like he was about to collapse under such Sword Force pressure. Just a trace of Sword Intent could easily slay him.
This level of strength was far beyond him. Tangyu's gaze grew more determined as he watched the battle, nervously rooting for Sun Wukong. If Sun Wukong could not match Qin Wushuang, the consequences would be unimaginable. Tangyu did not want to see such an outcome.
