Chapter 215: Easily Broken
🕑 Added 2024-10-12 06:32:55 +0000 UTCZing—
As the long sword was unsheathed, an overwhelming wave of killing intent exploded into the air.
Boom—
With the release of this intense aura, a powerful force seemed to ripple through the room, causing the entire structure to tremble.
“What is this…?!”
Everyone in the room, especially Ye Liechang, was visibly shocked.
Damn it! What’s going on?! His gaze zeroed in on the sword that Bai Li Changqing held in his hand.
It seemed that the moment the sword was drawn, this terrifying aura emerged.
Wait a second…
Such intense killing intent!
"Can you feel it?" Bai Li Changqing’s lips curled into a slight smile beneath his black mask.
With a swift motion, he swung Jiemie directly at the iron bars!
In an instant, the terrifying electric current running through the bars was sliced in half, along with the so-called indestructible black iron cage!
"This… this can’t be!"
Ye Liechang’s eyes widened in disbelief, his face filled with shock.
One strike, just a single strike, and everything had been broken apart!
“That sword…”
Ye Zhang, too, was taken aback, staring at the sword in Bai Li Changqing’s hand with sheer astonishment.
Swoosh—
At that moment, Bai Li Changqing moved like a shadow, rushing forward with lightning speed. With Jiemie in hand, he stabbed toward Ye Liechang.
The speed of the thrust was incredibly fast!
"You’re courting death!!!"
Seeing this, Ye Zhang roared, raising his long spear to block the attack.
Bai Li Changqing’s eyes narrowed, and with a thought, he unleashed his martial technique.
[Ninth-Rank Martial Art: Shadow Thrust]!
In that instant, his body split into several afterimages, each one looking as real as the next!
Clang—
Ye Zhang blocked one of the images with his spear, only to realize it was a fake!
"Lord, watch out!" Ye Zhang yelled, but it was already too late. Three of Bai Li Changqing’s shadowy figures lunged toward Ye Liechang from the side, swords aimed directly at him!
"Protect me!!!" Ye Liechang screamed as his guards quickly formed a protective wall around him.
Splatter—
But blood splattered as the guards were swiftly cut down, their bodies falling lifelessly to the ground.
Bai Li Changqing’s true form then emerged, his sword already closing in on Ye Liechang.
Reacting quickly, Ye Liechang unsheathed his battle saber and blocked the attack. His saber was an S-rank weapon!
Clang—
The sword collided with the saber, sending Ye Liechang flying backward. He crashed heavily onto the ground a short distance away.
Cough—
Struggling to his feet, Ye Liechang spat out a mouthful of blood.
How… how did that single strike carry so much force?
He couldn’t believe that he had been completely unable to block what appeared to be a simple attack.
Crack—
At that moment, a sharp cracking sound echoed through the room. Looking down, Ye Liechang noticed a fissure spreading across the blade of his battle saber, with small fragments of the weapon breaking off and falling to the floor.
"This can’t be!!!" Ye Liechang screamed, his voice filled with utter disbelief.
This was something he could never have imagined, not even in his worst nightmares.
His saber was an S-rank weapon! Not only was it incredibly durable, but it was also exceptionally sharp. Yet, with just one simple strike, the blade had cracked!
If that’s the case, wouldn’t a few more clashes with Bai Li Changqing’s sword cause his saber to shatter completely?
The mere thought of it sent a cold shiver down his spine.
It was terrifying—simply too terrifying.
"Your opponent is right here!" Bai Li Changqing was just about to press his attack on Ye Liechang when Ye Zhang charged in from behind.
Ye Zhang, a martial artist at the peak of the Martial King realm, was no ordinary foe. His footwork was swift, and his body moved like a phantom. In an instant, he appeared in front of Ye Liechang, brandishing his spear to strike down the approaching Bai Li Changqing.
Bai Li Changqing smirked, swinging Jiemie once again to meet the attack.
Clang—
The sound of their weapons clashing was deafening, forcing both Bai Li Changqing and Ye Zhang to take a few steps back from the impact.
But before Ye Zhang could recover, Bai Li Changqing’s figure vanished into the shadows, blending seamlessly with the darkness of the night.
"Stay alert! Protect the city lord!" Ye Zhang shouted.
"He hasn’t left yet!" His eyes scanned the dim surroundings.
Though many soldiers held torches, the night was still filled with dark corners, perfect for someone like Bai Li Changqing to hide.
As a trained assassin, Bai Li Changqing possessed a natural advantage in the dark. Hidden in the shadows, he squinted his eyes, holding his breath.
Ye Zhang was powerful—a Martial King at his peak, with one foot already stepping into the realm of the Martial Saint.
Facing him directly would not be easy.
Moreover, Bai Li could sense that more Martial King-level fighters had begun to appear within the compound.
He hadn’t anticipated that the security around Ye Liechang would be this formidable.
However, failure was not an option for this mission.
He needed to wait for the perfect opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Ye Liechang!
"Find him! He must be here somewhere!" Ye Liechang roared in fury.
His face was contorted with anger.
The events that had just unfolded were a humiliation to him. A captured assassin had dared to break free right under his nose!
Moreover, that sword in Bai Li Changqing’s hand had caught his attention.
That sword was capable of damaging even his S-rank weapon!
It was no ordinary blade!
"You protect the city lord. I’ll find that ‘rat’ and drag him out," Ye Zhang said coldly.
But just as Ye Zhang was about to move, he noticed something—there was a small chip on the blade of his spear.
What…?
His expression changed immediately.
Ye Zhang always took great care of his weapon, and it was crafted from a rare material that made it virtually indestructible.
At least, it had been flawless before tonight.
Could it be…
Could the damage have been caused by that assassin’s sword during their brief clash?
That sword was too sharp!
While Ye Zhang stood there in shock, Bai Li Changqing, hidden in the shadows, watched as Ye Liechang continued to shout orders, demanding that they find him.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhang had moved further away to search for him.
Now’s my chance!
In a flash, Bai Li Changqing disappeared from his spot, leaving behind only a faint whisper in the wind.
