Chapter 168
Chapter 168 - Consecutive Beheading of Three Enemies!
"Tian Hong!
"
Hong Xin, Rong Qi and Cao Sheng cried out. At this moment, they did not care about their anger as their hearts were already filled with thick shock.
Tian Hong, a dignified Stage Six Martial Master, was actually killed with a single slash from Tang Huan?
There was indeed a portion of Martial Master at the peak of the fifth step that had the power to kill Stage Six Martial Master, but it would also not be so easy. Furthermore, Tian Hong had already been promoted to Stage Six Martial Master for two years already.
"Hu!
"
However, Tang Huan did not pause at all. With a swing of his long blade, Tian Hong's dried up body flew out horizontally, colliding with the long axe that was slashing towards Hong Xin.
If this were to happen, Tian Hong would definitely be cut into two halves!
When Hong Xin saw it, he was startled awake. The long axe shrunk and at last managed to avoid the attack, but this time, it suppressed him to the point where he wanted to vomit blood.
"Chi!
"
However, before Hong Xin could even catch his breath, Tang Huan had already leaped up into the air as the Rainbow Saber in his hand came crashing down from the sky with an irresistible force. With a sharp whistling sound, the fiery red saber seemed to transform into a gigantic red light that poured down like a hot stream.
"Roar!
" Hong Xin's eyes were wide open as he roared like a wild beast. Using almost all of his strength, he suddenly raised his long axe.
"Ah!
"
In the span of a breath, the heaven shaking sound of the collision shook the earth. A terrifying Strength Qi with a blazing intent swept out from every direction, and in the surrounding space where the axe and blade met, a slight ripple could actually be seen, visible even to the naked eye.
"En!
"
At almost the same time, Hong Xin let out a muffled groan. His arms were numb, the long axe fell to the ground, and his robust body was forced back repeatedly by the incoming heat wave.
He knew that Tang Huan was a Weapon Refiner, but he had never seen a young Weapon Refiner who, after activating the power of the True Fire, could produce such a strong heat. He felt as if he had been placed within a furnace. Even if he were to stay in place for even a moment longer, he would still feel as if he was going to be burnt to ashes.
However, before he could avoid this wave of heat, an even more shocking scene appeared.
"Hu!
"
The fiery-red long blade was once again engulfed in a heaven-overflowing heat, and it swept horizontally like a shadow following its form.
The connection between Tang Huan's blade strikes seemed to have no gaps. One slash, one slash, and it was perfectly round; it was profound to the point that it was impossible to find.
"Tang Huan, stop!
"
A loud shout exploded from behind him.
In that critical moment, Rong Qi and Cao Sheng finally regained their senses from the extreme shock that they found hard to accept and rushed towards Tang Huan at the same time. At almost the same instant his body leaped into the air, the long sword at Rong Qi's waist had already unsheathed itself, and like a wisp of a cyan rainbow, it flew straight towards Tang Huan's back.
Cao Sheng also sped up, the sharp thorn in his hand that was as thick as a thumb and as long as a meter seemed to be like a black ray of light, piercing towards Tang Huan's left hip at lightning speed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
"
's fiery red long blade had not yet cut Hong Xin's waist in half, but the sharp blade had already completely cut open his abdomen, so even if there was an even better elixir, it would not be able to save him.
"Hong Xin!
"
Rong Qi and Cao Sheng's eyes were filled with rage, and it seemed as if the flames of rage in their eyes were about to shoot out.
With his back facing Rong Qi and Cao Sheng, Tang Huan sneered in his heart as he moved his legs again and again in a strange manner. In the next moment, the two of them lost their target.
"Chi!
"
Just then, a slight sound of breaking through the air sounded out, and it was Tang Huan's long blade sweeping over.
Rong Qi and Cao Sheng had no choice but to retreat, but Tang Huan who had just turned around did not show any signs of stopping. With a twist of his long blade, he drew an arc in the air and then slashed down towards Rong Qi who was even further away from him.
"Hu!
"
Terrifying heat waves continuously flowed out of the blade's body like a broken dam, instantly congealing into a terrifying heat wave that whistled and moved along with the Strength Qi. Without waiting for the blade to come into contact, Tang Huan's arms trembled, his long blade leaped up, and actually struck down once again.
Three times like this, three waves of heat, carried by the incomparably tyrannical Strength Qi, followed the long blade and struck at Rong Qi's head.
This move was impressively the
"Wave Slashing Wave
" from the
"Burning Sky Slash Wave Slash Technique
"!
As the most powerful of the four moves of the known blade technique, under the activation of the
"Nirvana Sacred Fire
", the might was even more heaven and earth different from when compared to when he was in Martial Competition. In the blink of an eye, the shockingly dense heat waves seemed to transform into a ball of enormous flames that blazed fiercely, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.
"Chi!
"
"Chi!
"
"Swish …
"
Sensing the terrifying might behind it, Rong Qi's face changed from shock. He forcefully endured the fear in his heart and immediately pushed the Genuine Qi to the limit, the longsword in his hand danced crazily, rays of sword light shot out and intersected in front of him, instantly condensing into a sharp green curtain of sword light.
At almost the same time, Cao Sheng, who was slightly to the side and behind him, also leaped forward. The sharp spike in his hand was like a shooting star that flew from the heavens, piercing into the heat wave.
"Boom!
"
In the next moment, a deafening explosion resounded throughout the world.
In the violent clash, along with the violent fluctuations coming from the Strength Qi, scorching heat rolled out like raging waves. Cao Sheng felt a berserk force transmitting from the thorns, and couldn't help but stagger backwards. However, that green colored curtain instantly shattered, and Rong Qi was sent flying along with his sword.
"Pfft!
"
While in the air, Rong Qi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which then smashed heavily onto the ground a dozen meters away. He stared fixedly at the figure behind the heat wave, which seemed to have solidified into a solid form, and his handsome face distorted sinisterly as he screamed,
"Cao Sheng, run — —
"
The short four characters seemed to have exhausted the last bit of Rong Qi's strength.
Right after he finished speaking, Rong Qi's head tilted to the side, and he didn't move again, but that empty gaze of his indicated that his life had completely vanished.
"Rong Qi!
"
Seeing this, Cao Sheng seemed to have been entrapped by a technique as he stood there in a daze. Since he did not run or attack, his stiff face was twitching slightly. Tears flickered at the corners of his eyes and a look of uncontrollable remorse appeared in his eyes.
If he did not expose Tang Huan's identity, would such an outcome be avoided?
Unfortunately, there were no 'ifs' in this world. In just a few short breaths of time, his three companions who came here with him had all died.
"You're not running away?
"
Tang Huan raised his long blade and pointed it straight at Cao Sheng. Seeing him standing there dumbly without any movement, Tang Huan's eyes could not help but reveal an unusual expression.
"We met in the military, lived and died together for a few years, fought against Demon Clan for dozens of years, and all of us managed to survive by luck. Today, all three of you died, so how could I possibly live alone?
"
Cao Sheng's expression was wooden. His gaze swept across the dead bodies of Hong Xin, Tian Hong and Rong Qi. He seemed to be talking to himself, yet seemed to be replying to Tang Huan.
Tang Huan heard and frowned.
To the Human Clan, this Hong Xin, Tian Hong, Rong Qi and Cao Sheng were considered heroes in their resistance against the Demon Clan. It was not worth it to finally survive from the meat grinder battlefield, yet they had died in the wilderness while taking revenge for Hong Jing and Hong Tao.
But in the battle just now, Tang Huan definitely would not have shown mercy. If they had not died, the one who would have died would be Tang Huan himself!
