Chapter Twenty Jade Orchid City
The twilight sunset, as if being forcibly pulled across the sky by the gods, spread out and filled the entire space between heaven and earth.
The atmosphere on the big road outside the forest at the foot of Tianxian Peak was extremely eerie, not only were the weeds in the surrounding grasslands neatly trimmed to make a "crunching" sound, but also several dark green light spots were jumping and dispersing in all directions under this gloomy sky.
A layered whirlpool entirely composed of cyan sword light was swung out from Ling Qingwan's hand, resembling the scythe of the god of death in the nine netherworlds below. It streaked across the sky, bringing with it a series of whistling sounds, and directly shot towards that Wen family disciple who was fleeing eastward!
Due to the extremely fast speed of the whirlpool formed by the cyan sword light, even the grass bushes on the east side were violently trembling.
"Whoosh!"
"Ah——"
Far away, only the cyan sword light vortex passed by, a dazzling blood light also appeared on the neck of that Wen family young master in the east!
Just then, Ling Qingyan's heart moved, and the dazzling sword light vortex suddenly turned left, sweeping towards the Wen family disciples who were fleeing northward. At this time, the body of the Wen family disciple who was fleeing eastward also fell to the ground with a "thud" in the chaotic grass thicket.
The Wen family youngster who was fleeing north heard the shrill cry, and subconsciously turned his head back, only to see that his companion who was fleeing east was being annihilated by a strange cyan sword glow vortex. But that's not all... In his frightened and disbelieving eyes, the dazzling sword glow vortex, after killing his companion, strangely changed direction and came charging towards him!
What sword technique is this?!
As an ordinary son of a mediocre family like the Wen family, he couldn't have known about the existence of the top sword technique "Tianjian Jiushi" of the Tianjian Sect, and for a moment, he was also stunned.
"Whoosh!"
However, the clear sword hum of the cyan sword glow swirling through the sky suddenly brought him back to his senses... Seeing that the cyan sword glow was only a few meters away, and its target was his own neck, the face of this young master from the Wen family suddenly turned ferocious. He then stopped his fleeing footsteps and infused his entire body's true energy into the long knife in his hand, directly swinging it at the cyan sword glow!
If we don't block it, we'll die! Let's go all out!
"Crack——"
The long knife with a deep blue cold light flickered in his hand, and the Wen family's young master only felt his tiger's mouth shake, and then a torrent of blood gushed out wildly... At this moment, he was not paying attention to these ordinary things at all, and a look of surprise at having survived against all odds appeared on his face.
It was only because the green sword light vortex, after shattering the long knife in his hand, also deviated from its original trajectory and darted towards his left hand side...
Escaped with his life!
But in an instant, a figure flashing with cyan light, like a ghostly apparition, swept towards the young master of the Wen family. The right hand enveloped by the cyan true energy directly reached into the dazzling cyan sword light vortex, seemingly without any concern for being harmed.
After the right hand stretched out, the cyan sword light vortex slowed down abruptly and gradually reformed into a long sword with flashing cyan cold light.
"This young man from the Wen family was quite resolute in his previous actions, and he didn't lose out as a talented individual, unfortunately..."
At this moment, Ling Qingyan's figure also appeared in mid-air, his cold and stern eyes directly scanning the Wen family disciple who had just escaped a calamity. Then, as his body was about to land among the grass, the muscles on his right arm suddenly bulged, and the dark long sword in his hand swept across the sky, directly slashing at the Wen family disciple's neck.
"Hiss!"
The young master's face still hadn't collected his smile, when suddenly he froze, and a hint of despair flashed across his eyes. He dodged the sword light that was like the Grim Reaper's scythe, but his fate remained unchanged, and he couldn't escape death.
"So fast!"
The dazzling and enchanting blood flower appeared once again, and the young master of the Wen family also fell to the ground in a daze among the grass. At the moment of his death, however, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.
His left foot had just landed, and as his right foot was about to land, Ling Qingyan's face tightened, and then the true energy in his right leg suddenly surged violently, and the muscles in his legs also bulged... As he fiercely kicked his right foot into the grass, Ling Qingyan's body shot towards the Wen family youngster who was fleeing westward once again!
In the midst of rapid movement, a dark green long sword with a cold gleam flickered in Ling Qing's right hand, and once again transformed into a strange sword light vortex! As he approached the young master of the Wen family, the sword light vortex that flashed with a cold green gleam also flew out of his hand once again...
The twilight sunset has become even closer to a deep orange color, and the night curtain is about to fall.
As the last two members of the Wen family fell, Ling Qingyan also walked to the south side where the bodies of the Wen family disciples were, and pulled out the Yumeng Longjian that had returned to its normal state from the grass. "It's still not working, this eighth move is still stuck here... what exactly do I need to do to control the second trajectory?"
As the night color was almost dark, Ling Qingyan also stopped thinking about it and directly put the Yumeng long sword in his hand into the Baina ring and returned to the road.
"This Wen family won't let things go so easily!"
Ling Qing's eyes flashed with a fierce light, obviously this time was also being provoked by the Wen family. "Ten green-level later stages and one blue-level early stage, truly a grand gesture! If I were just an ordinary green-level warrior, perhaps I would have perished here today! A man does not offend me, I do not offend him... Wen family, if you stop here, then so be it. But if you continue to play tricks..." Hmph!
In his previous life, Ling Qingyan was the big boss of modern underground forces, and his temper wasn't very good!
It was also in this life that Ling Qingyan felt the warmth of kinship and the care of those around him, which slightly changed his cold and stern heart from his previous life.
If it were in his past life, he would have definitely regarded the Wen family as sworn enemies for what had happened earlier!
In the previous life, Ling Qingyan's opponents were all clear that without a certain degree of confidence, it was best not to provoke Ling Lao Da of the Qing Shan Gang easily. Otherwise, they would ultimately end up with no bones left!
The furious gaze, when looking at the small Tibetan Mastiff in his arms, also converged. Ling Qingyan's face, which had been gloomy all along, rarely showed a hint of a smile, "This little guy, actually sleeps soundly..."
Even after killing the Wen family, Ling Qingyan deliberately did not move his left arm that was holding Xiao Cangyuan, so as not to disturb Xiao Cangyuan's sleep.
As the sky was about to darken, Ling Qingyan also stopped lingering and directly stepped forward, walking along the main road outward.
"This recent city... Three years ago, I hastily passed by there and still have some memories. It seems to be called 'Yulan City'. Although it is a remote city of the Great Qin State like Moyun City where my family lives, Yulan City is quite prosperous..."
Jade Orchid City, a border city of the Great Qin Empire, and also the closest city to the Southern Wilderness!
Due to its proximity to the Southern Wilderness, the fur trade of demonic beasts here is also booming, attracting merchants from all over the southern region of Chongwu Continent to invest! Although the Southern Wilderness is extremely dangerous, there are still some warriors who venture into that outer area, hunting and killing low-level demonic beasts, selling their skins to merchants for money.
A warrior is also a human being, with seven emotions and six desires, who eats rice and miscellaneous grains!
And all of this is based on money.
