Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Twenty People Evaporate

"Ahh! Dammit! Brothers, send out twenty men, kill him for me!" Seeing Qin You dead, Wang the Fifth pointed his great saber at Shi Feng and bellowed loudly!

At that moment, twenty Martial Artists from the Great Saber Sect behind him surged towards Shi Feng.

Qin You, such a young genius from the Great Saber Sect, was easily killed; none dared to underestimate Shi Feng any longer. Even as a One-star Martial Master, he was an extraordinary one. The great sabers once again flashed with dazzling light.

With Qin You killed, Wang the Fifth had not only lost an exceptionally promising young subordinate but, upon learning of Qin You’s background, his fury escalated. He was no mere promising right-hand man. If Shi Feng hadn’t killed Qin You, Wang the Fifth might have been able to rely on the Great General Qin Shihu as a backer to expand the Great Saber Sect.

Of course, Wang the Fifth didn’t know that Qin You was just an illegitimate child of Qin Shihu, and he would never have been able to rely on him.

Wang the Fifth thought Qin You was a son of the Qin Family out for training, and now that Qin You was dead, if General Qin learned that Qin You had joined the Great Saber Sect and then died... Thinking of this, his heart was filled with even greater horror.

Wang the Fifth felt that if he had a son who joined a small faction while out for training and died, regardless of the reason, he would wipe out that faction in his raging fury.

Qin You was dead, dead beyond any doubt, and his death gave Wang the Fifth an unprecedented sense of crisis. The Great Saber Sect he had painstakingly established, the culmination of his life’s work, might be destroyed in an instant.

At this moment, Wang the Fifth had channeled all his hatred towards Shi Feng. It was him, he was the one who killed Qin You! He who plunged the Great Saber Sect into crisis must die! This man must die!

However, Wang the Fifth hadn’t lost his sense entirely, forgetting about another extremely dangerous individual, Princess Zi Yun! If Princess Zi Yun were allowed to continue living, he, Wang the Fifth, and his Great Saber Sect would also completely vanish from within the Heavenly Mist Empire. This was why Wang the Fifth deployed twenty men against Shi Feng, leaving more than ten others unmoved.

"Attack! Capture Princess Zi Yun for our victory celebration, and kill Cui Jian!" Wang the Fifth declared viciously, pointing at Princess Zi Yun and Cui Jian with his great saber, managing a ferocious appearance, before leading the remaining more than ten Martial Artists of the Great Saber Sect to attack Princess Zi Yun and Cui Jian.

Shi Feng stood upright, like a straight sword, facing those twenty attacking Martial Artists with an indifferent expression. His nonchalant demeanor showed that he didn’t take those twenty trash Martial Masters seriously – even if he himself was also at that moment a trash Martial Master.

Twenty Martial Artists, twenty great sabers, at this instant, ten Martial Artists surrounded Shi Feng, while the other ten leaped up from behind them. Together, the twenty Martial Artists all drew their swords simultaneously, creating dense, crisscrossing Sword Shadows and brightly colored Sword Energy storms, which howled towards Shi Feng from above and all sides fiercely!

Shi Feng remained motionless, only the corners of his mouth curling into a disdainful sneer. Suddenly, a burst of Blood-colored Flame erupted from his body and swiftly swept out in all directions.

The blood-colored flames surged rapidly, instantly engulfing each Sword Shadow and Sword Energy. Following swiftly, twenty Martial Artists didn’t even have time to cry out before they were devoured by the blood-colored flames, igniting a vicious, small ocean of Blood Flame in the midst of the forest.

Elsewhere, Wang the Fifth, leading more than ten of his subordinates, had circled to hack and slash at Princess Zi Yun and Cui Jian. Here, Sword Energy and Sword Shadows crisscrossed wildly, centering around Princess Zi Yun and Cui Jian in the heart of the melee. Though Princess Zi Yun faced these ferocious attacks, the situation was slightly better since they weren’t trying to kill her yet, merely seeking to subdue her slowly. Nonetheless, even she, once a prodigy, felt powerless and in crisis, dominated by the ten one-realm Martial Artists surrounding her.

But Cui Jian was in a different situation altogether. He was in utter disarray, his clothing torn to shreds, revealing vicious and deep sword scars, his body dripping with blood.

"Ah!" Cui Jian let out a loud roar to the heavens as a Sword Shadow sliced across his back, wider and more vicious than the other scars, revealing chilling white bones beneath the flesh. If this continued, Cui Jian’s death was only a matter of time.

"Cui Jian, this is what you get for crossing me, Wang the Fifth! Die!" Wang the Fifth sneered, his great saber raised high, blazing with a dazzling silver brilliance, and he ferociously brought it down towards Cui Jian’s head.

Given Cui Jian’s current state, this powerful blow was certainly enough to end his life, splitting him in two.

Facing Wang the Fifth’s full-force strike, a sense of utter powerlessness rose through Cui Jian, as if he’d already pictured his end, as if he’d accepted his fate.

But just then, a cluster of white light, like fireflies, shot across the Void with a "clang," colliding with Wang the Fifth’s great saber. Suddenly, a powerful force transmitted from the saber, which was about to split Cui Jian’s head, as if struck by a mighty blow. The dazzling silver light scattered, and Wang the Fifth’s figure was sent retreating backward, only stopping after moving five meters away.

With a face filled with shock and horror, Wang the Fifth turned his head abruptly and saw Shi Feng, walking leisurely towards the scene, alone.

Seeing Shi Feng on his own, Wang the Fifth suddenly realized something and, attempting to cover his shock and horror with a roar, bellowed at Shi Feng, "Where are my brothers!" The twenty subordinates previously on the other side were now nowhere to be seen, not even their bodies, as if they’d evaporated from the earth.

A very unpleasant premonition emerged in Wang the Fifth’s heart, along with a chilling horror, a cold shiver running from the soles of his feet to his spine.

Wang the Fifth’s roar drew the attention of the other Great Saber Sect Martial Artists, who stopped their combat and turned, their hearts equally filled with astonishment. Their twenty brothers were nowhere to be seen. Where on earth could they have gone?

All eyes involuntarily turned to Shi Feng, as they ceased their fighting.

Even the Commandery Princess, clad in purple Battle Armor, whose face still held traces of anger, now showed a look of surprise. Despite Wang the Fifth’s questioning, in truth, everyone had an inkling of the answer.

"Brother, thank goodness! Thank goodness! I’m saved. With him here, I won’t have to die!" In this moment, the most excited person was Cui Jian, his body riddled with swords, teetering on the brink of death.
