Chapter 76: The Moon Maiden Embraces the Sword and Slays a Thousand Troops in the Snowstorm!
Instant kill!
Yes, another instant kill!
Facing a King-level opponent, Qi Yuan killed instantly.
Facing Emperor-level opponents, Qi Yuan still killed instantly.
He didn’t even get up, still sitting on the bluestone.
With just a casual wave of his hand, seven Emperors fell dead.
What level is this, truly a supreme Emperor?
On the pavilion, Yue Nu's small face was horrified, and the veiled woman beside her was equally shocked.
Qi Yuan held a bowl of fish soup: "Better drink it quickly, the smell of blood drifting over here wouldn't be good."
He said this, slowly savoring the fish soup.
"The taste is good, almost as good as my junior sister's spirit fish soup."
Qi Yuan praised.
This compliment seemed well received, as a sweet smile appeared on the Yue Nu's face, her crescent moon pupils turning into full moons.
However, the little girl thought of something and suddenly stepped forward to retrieve Qi Yuan's sword from the seven corpses.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan laughed.
"No need to retrieve it. Let the sword stay there.
Whoever crosses this sword shall be killed!" Qi Yuan laughed heartily.
In reality, he was timid, scared of even a small Black Mountain Sect, losing sleep at night.
But in the game, he had to be bold and strike hard.
Otherwise, being too cautious would turn him into a real coward, which would be ridiculous.
On the pavilion, Cold Moon watched this scene with admiration and longing in her eyes.
"This is the Sword God!"
The veiled woman was also extremely excited: "The Faceless Sword God, he must have emerged from the forbidden zone."
......
The Hundred Cities Alliance.
A fat man seated at a high position had a face full of smiles.
"What do you all think of the Yue Clan branch in July?"
In the hall, over twenty supreme Emperors were seated.
"What else? With a flick of a finger, we can annihilate them!" A supreme Emperor spoke, his voice resounding like a bell.
"Only these southern barbarians are left resisting. Once they are destroyed, the southern domain will be ours." A female supreme Emperor spoke, her voice ethereal.
At this moment, a small, shrewd old man spoke: "I heard a supreme Emperor has appeared by the July Lake, very powerful, killing seven of our Emperors from the Hundred Cities Alliance with one sword. We cannot be careless.
Should we report this to...”
Before he finished, someone interrupted.
"No matter how strong the Faceless Sword God is, can he defeat twenty-five of us?
Can he defeat our three thousand Iron Tuskers?" the shrewd old man spoke.
"Indeed, no need to trouble that person.
With our three thousand Iron Tuskers and us here, how can we not kill the Faceless Sword God?"
Everyone discussed and agreed.
They were seasoned, knowing the Faceless Sword God's strength, fearing him, but fearing the Black Robe Guards even more.
When the Black Robe Guards appeared, not only their enemies but they themselves could die!
They were merely the Black Robe Guards' fodder.
In front of the Black Robe Guards, all lives were equal.
Even they could be devoured, leaving only a human skin.
So, unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t request the Black Robe Guards' help.
"If so, it's decided. In ten days, for new novels
We will act, the three thousand Iron Tuskers will flatten the Yue Clan!
Their two Saintesses must be captured and sacrificed... to the heavens!" The smiling fat man set the tone.
......
After killing the seven unwise Emperor-level strongmen, the Hundred Cities Alliance made no further moves.
Qi Yuan still sat on the bluestone by the July Lake every day.
The little girl Yue Nu sat silently beside him, also gazing at the snowy lake.
One big, one small, almost becoming two snowmen.
This time, Qi Yuan's fiery passion helped warm the Moon Maiden.
Sitting beside Qi Yuan, the little girl didn’t feel cold.
During this time, Cold Moon, the disciple of the July Sacrifice and next in line, came to see Qi Yuan, informing him of the Hundred Cities Alliance's impending attack.
She urged Qi Yuan to take the Saintess and leave.
Qi Yuan looked at Cold Moon and said, "We are here to enjoy the snow."
Cold Moon, hearing this, said nothing more, but sadly added, "If you can't hold them off, please leave us."
Qi Yuan nodded, "Don't worry, if it's too tough, I'll play dead immediately."
After Cold Moon left, not long after, the veiled woman arrived.
She knelt and saluted Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan thought of old acquaintances in the Five Elements Forbidden Zone and said, "In three hundred years, the Demon Slaying Conference will begin. If nothing happens, we will eliminate the extraterrestrial demons."
The veiled woman left with tears streaming down her face.
The lakeside quieted down again.
Snow fell for several days, accumulating thicker and thicker.
In the evening, the Yue Nu, wearing a white cloak, brought a bowl again, her face flushed, her breath visible in the cold.
Qi Yuan's nose twitched: "This time it's not fish soup, something new?"
The Yue Nu opened the bowl, a sweet aroma wafted out.
Qi Yuan was stunned, then smiled: "Crispy sweet duck, I finally get to eat it."
He remembered casually mentioning it that day, which the Moon Maiden noted.
Qi Yuan tasted it, savoring it.
"You little one, your cooking skills are impressive.
It's a pity you’re an NPC, otherwise, I'd bring you to Seven Color Peak to be a little cook."
The Yue Nu showed a confused expression.
Qi Yuan suddenly said: "You keep cooking for me, treating me like an NPC to complete tasks?
Come on, tell me, what's your motive?"
A hint of panic flashed across Yue Nu's face but quickly disappeared. She clutched Qi Yuan's clothes tightly: "I don't want to die!"
Qi Yuan looked at her, remembering the July Sacrifice.
These days, he heard the Moon Clan had two Saintesses.
The sword, like a blood-colored dragon, cut through countless lives with its sword light.
In just a few breaths, all three thousand Iron Floats were exterminated.
At the shore of the July Lake, the faceless man sitting on the blue stone did not even look at the battlefield. He said lightly, “This is the game version of the Brilliant Sword I created these days. How much have you learned?”
The Moon Maiden’s eyes turned red as she replied, “I’ve learned about thirty percent.”
At this moment, the twenty-five Supreme Emperors in their palanquins revealed expressions of horror and intense shock.
How could there be such a powerful being in this world?
How could there be such a sword!
With one sword, the blood-colored dragon annihilated three thousand Iron Floats!
At the shore of the July Lake, Qi Yuan, hearing Yue Nu’s words, showed a satisfied expression. “Not bad, your talent is quite good. The remaining few NPCs should be enough for you to learn seventy to eighty percent, right?”
With Qi Yuan’s voice, the sword that resembled a blood-colored dragon seemed to sense something and charged straight toward the twenty-five Supreme Emperors!
The twenty-five Supreme Emperors were terrified beyond measure.
What they saw was not a sword but a blood-colored dragon of slaughter.
“No!” The beautiful female Supreme Emperor, clad in a colorful feathered robe, was struck by the blood light. Half of her body was sliced off, and the remaining flesh quickly withered, while the blood was boiling.
“Devil!”
Seeing this, the other Supreme Emperors dared not fight.
They had survived this long not because of their strength or bravery but because they were sufficiently sly and shameless.
Unfortunately, the blood-colored dragon-like sword would not spare them.
Waves of blood light, like beams from a blood moon grinding disc, struck down each Supreme Emperor.
“No!”
The howls and pleas for mercy were drowned out in the wind and snow.
All twenty-five Supreme Emperors were killed one by one.
The final sword pierced through the fat Emperor’s corpulent body.
The fat Emperor collapsed on the ground, his eyes clouded, and he still had a smile on his face. “The Black-Robed Guards... The Celestial Gods from beyond the domain won’t spare you.”
After he spoke, he lost all breath and died.
At this moment, the sword that resembled a blood-colored dragon flew back to Qi Yuan’s side and fell into the lake.
Under the branches of the ancient locust tree, Cold Moon was in utter shock.
This... This... Surpasses even the Supreme Emperors!
Such power!
The black-veiled woman was also extremely excited, murmuring, “Master!”
At the shore of the July Lake, Yue Nu, holding the sword sheath, came to Qi Yuan’s side.
The sword, having circled in the lake and cleansed itself of the dirty blood, returned to its sheath.
Qi Yuan looked at the Moon Maiden with a smile. “This is the first time you’ve faced so many enemies. Do you have any comments?”
The Moon Maiden’s small face showed a look of delight. “So strong, so strong.”
She was, of course, referring to Qi Yuan.
“Now it’s my turn to say something.” Qi Yuan began.
It seemed he asked the Moon Maiden that question just to say this.
Yue Nu looked up at Qi Yuan with seriousness.
Qi Yuan contemptuously said, “I haven’t faced such low-level monsters for a long time.
Monsters of this level shouldn’t even appear on my map.”
After entering the Five Elements Forbidden Land, the Yin-Yang Forbidden Land, and Tian Jue.
Especially after the stages behind Tian Jue, what kind of opponents did Qi Yuan encounter?
God Realms, often in thousands.
Divine Domains weren’t even significant.
Sometimes there were three thousand.
These three thousand Iron Floats and twenty-five Supreme Emperors were nothing but trivial monsters.
“I’m going to hunt some higher-level monsters. Do you want to come and see?” Qi Yuan asked the Moon Maiden earnestly.
The Moon Maiden nodded, her face full of determination.
Qi Yuan took the Moon Maiden’s small hand. “Let’s go. Let’s see if the legendary Black-Robed Guards qualify as elite monsters.”
As a player, how could he sit around like an NPC, waiting for enemies to come and challenge him?
Taking the initiative was his nature.
At the July Lake, he had already gotten his answer.
It was time for him to leave, to confront the final boss of this world and gather the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.
But before that, he had to deal with the Black-Robed Guards that ravaged the world.
He could not tolerate such audacious small monsters.
Holding the Moon Maiden’s small hand, the two vanished into the boundless wind and snow.
......
The Hundred Cities Alliance.
A place known as the Ten Thousand Graves Cave.
It was filled with white bones and rotting corpses.
There was much flesh, but no vultures or wolves came here.
It was eerily silent.
This was the core forbidden land of the Hundred Cities Alliance.
It was also the most feared place.
No warrior dared to come here.
Even Supreme Emperors would be terrified and horrified just by glancing at the Ten Thousand Graves Cave from afar.
At this moment, a faceless man holding a seven or eight-year-old girl stepped into this place.
The area was eerily quiet, with no sound.
The faceless man’s expression was neither sad nor happy. “This map... is really lacking, not even comparable to a hair from the Four Great Forbidden Lands.”
The faceless man was Qi Yuan. He, along with the Moon Maiden, had slaughtered the entire Hundred Cities Alliance.
King-level strongmen?
Emperor-level strongmen?
Supreme Emperors?
All were insignificant mobs, not worth a single sword from Qi Yuan.
He fought gods and Buddhas, slaughtering the Hundred Cities Alliance to the point of blood flowing like rivers.
Now, he had finally arrived at the dreaded lair of the Black-Robed Guards.
Holding his sword, he said softly, “I’m here to clear the map.”
As his words fell, the gigantic blood-colored sword charged into the Ten Thousand Graves Cave.
At this moment, countless Black-Robed Guards flew out of the cave like bats.
