Chapter 21 Slaying a Peak Rank 5 Blade
Chapter 21 Slaying a Peak Rank 5 Blade
......
half a month later.
In the past two weeks, Qin Fengqing has been subjected to a constant barrage of attacks, and Tianmen City has suffered increasingly heavy losses.
......
Tianmen City
"Has the investigation been completed yet? In just over ten days, we have lost over a hundred fourth-grade martial artists in the meat grinder, and even three fifth-grade early-stage martial artists have been killed!"
Do you know that the city lord has already started to look into this matter?
A seventh-rank commander shouted loudly in the meeting room.
The sixth-rank generals below exchanged glances. They knew the strength of humanity was limited, and none of the powerful figures capable of causing such losses in Hope City were currently there.
However, based on reports from previous reconnaissance teams, the evidence of damage at the scene suggests that the human martial artist was no higher than the fifth rank.
After exchanging glances, one of the sixth-rank warriors spoke up: "Reporting to the commander, the intelligence brought back by our reconnaissance team indicates that it should be a newly promoted fifth-rank martial artist from the human side."
"A mere human newly promoted to the fifth rank has caused such a great loss to the royal city. They are truly a bunch of useless trash!" After hearing his subordinate's report, the seventh-rank commander became even angrier.
Such a huge loss was caused simply because the meat grinder was within their jurisdiction during that period.
The city lord will definitely intervene. That human warrior must be killed, or the city lord will surely punish us.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at a long-haired underground warrior at the end and said, "Mu Yi, go to the meat grinder immediately and kill that human warrior. I hope you won't disappoint me."
The long-haired man stood up, bowed, and replied, "Yes, Father, I will definitely complete the mission successfully."
The long-haired man was the son of the seventh-rank commander of the cave, and his peak fifth-rank cultivation was sufficient to complete this mission.
As for why they didn't send out sixth-rank martial artists, if they did, the human side would also have sixth-rank martial artists to deal with them, and the martial artists of the sixth rank and above on both sides would restrain each other.
Therefore, the highest-ranking fifth-grade peak was the one who could be sent out for this mission. The seventh-grade commander had great confidence in his son, so this task of redeeming himself naturally fell to Mu Yi.
A newly promoted fifth-rank martial artist can cause such great losses to the royal city. He must be a genius among human martial artists. If we can eliminate him, it will be a great achievement.
……
Meat grinder.
Qin Fengqing, who was still roaming the meat grinder, was unaware that Tianmen City had sent people to kill him.
Having just rescued a squad of human martial artists, Qin Fengqing continued her search for underground martial artists.
In recent days, Qin Fengqing has saved many human martial arts teams and a number of soldiers. His reputation has spread throughout Hope City, as he has killed a fifth-grade initial-stage martial artist from the underground cave with his third-grade body.
Qin Fengqing publicly killed a fifth-rank, early-stage underground martial artist. If the third-rank ranking list hadn't been updated so recently, he could have directly become the number one on the third-rank list based on this achievement.
……
Qin Fengqing had just finished helping a team of underground martial artists deal with a group of human martial artists when he heard a whistling sound of a blade cutting through the air behind him, followed by a voice.
"finally found you!"
Qin Fengqing suddenly turned her head and slashed at her opponent with her backhand.
The clash of their weapons produced a loud noise.
"Bang!"
The two of them each retreated several meters.
The long-haired man's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he curled his lip and said, "Interesting."
Qin Fengqing looked at the long-haired man in front of her, who was wearing the distinctive leather armor of the underground world, and the fifth-rank underground medal he wore on his chest.
I roughly know why they came. They've killed too many fourth-rank underground dungeons lately, so this one must have been sent by Tianmen City.
The human warriors who were still cleaning up the battlefield saw the long-haired man and exclaimed in surprise, "Mu Yi! Son of Mu Sheng, a seventh-rank commander of Tianmen City, with the strength of a peak fifth-rank warrior!"
Upon recognizing someone, the long-haired man declared, "You're all going to live today, including this kid!"
After saying that, he ran straight towards Qin Fengqing.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Qin Fengqing, raised his broadsword, and delivered a powerful downward slash.
Qin Fengqing immediately dodged to the left and slashed directly at the long-haired man's face.
"Extinction!"
The long-haired man parried with his knife.
"Clang!"
The two exchanged blows for dozens of moves.
Seeing that he couldn't subdue Qin Fengqing, the long-haired man unleashed a burst of powerful blood energy and slashed out several times.
"Die!"
Seeing this, Qin Fengqing shouted loudly, "So you think you're the only one who can explode, huh!"
Bone marrow like mercury!
Bone marrow transdermal imaging!
Qin Fengqing's blood and qi exploded, his bone marrow power surged continuously, and blood and qi gathered wildly at the wound. In the blink of an eye, the bleeding stopped and his qi returned, as if he had never been injured.
Qin Fengqing unleashed a slash, and a crimson pillar of light pierced through the heavens and earth!
"The Nine Forms of the Azure Emperor - First Form - Lin!"
A patch of azure light was visible within a mass of blood-red light; this was the unique blood energy of the "Azure Emperor's Codex" created by Qin Fengqing.
The moment their blades clashed, the long-haired man's expression changed instantly. He could clearly feel that Qin Fengqing's strike unleashed at least 1500 calories of energy.
"How is this possible?" the long-haired man exclaimed.
Seeing that the two were locked in a stalemate, Qin Fengqing channeled his bone marrow power once more, replenishing his qi and blood, and shouted, "Again!"
The first move of the Nine Forms of the Azure Emperor!
Another slash pierced through the long-haired man's chest.
The long-haired man was immediately seriously injured and fell to the ground, his eyes fixed on Qin Fengqing, his expression full of resentment.
Before he died, he kept muttering, "How could this be? I'm not reconciled!"
Qin Fengqing went straight up and delivered the final blow.
"You're about to die and you still have so much to say."
After finishing off the attack, Qin Fengqing immediately took out two Life-Returning Pills and swallowed them.
Qin Fengqing was quite weak. Using his bone marrow power twice in a row had taken a huge toll on him. It was only because Qin Fengqing had a strong foundation that he didn't collapse immediately. Anyone else would have collapsed long ago.
The human martial artists present were all shocked. Several of them were third-year students at the Magic Martial Arts Academy. They recognized Qin Fengqing and knew that Qin Fengqing only had the strength of a third-rank martial artist.
His voice trembled slightly as he said, "He is Qin Fengqing, a second-level student at the Magic Martial Arts University, at the third-rank cultivation level!"
Exclamations of surprise immediately came from the side: "How is this possible! A third-rank formation can kill a fifth-rank peak formation! Moreover, this Mu Yi is the son of a seventh-rank commander of the underground cave, whose combat power among fifth-rank peak formations is extremely strong."
However, the facts were undeniable: Qin Fengqing had indeed killed a fully-fledged peak fifth-rank underground martial artist right before their eyes.
After taking the Life-Returning Pill, Qin Fengqing calmed down her internal organs, which had been shaken by the shock of her blood and qi.
They walked up to Mu Yi's corpse and began to search for the spoils of war.
Then he turned to the group of martial artists and asked, "This guy should have a bounty on his head in Hope City, right? Is there any academic credit reward for killing him?"
One of the men, who appeared to be a captain, nodded and said, "Yes, this guy has a pretty high bounty in Hope City, which can be exchanged for a lot of contribution points."
Upon hearing this, Qin Fengqing immediately chopped off his head and ripped off the badge from his chest.
"I'm going back to Hope City. Do you want to come back with me?"
The leader nodded: "Let's go together then. We also need to go back and replenish our supplies."
The group then headed towards Hope City.
