As the one primarily in the path of the sword light, he clearly realized how terrifying this sword stroke was.
The opponent’s stroke seemed to originate from the same source as his own blade, even more aggressive and resolute than his own.
Facing such a dominating stroke, Lawlessness was unable to block it. Even if he exhausted all his strength, he couldn’t stop the stroke in the end.
So, seeing clearly the way forward, there is no longer any chance for him.
“You are a good opponent.” Pei Xuanjing sheathed his sword, a glimmer of appreciation appeared in his eyes.
Putting the rest aside, just the advancement in the opponent’s Saber Intent made Pei Xuanjing surprised.
The power of that sword greatly exceeded his expectations, to say it was twice as strong as his fist method would be an understatement.
If it were anyone else, they would have to step back in the face of such an aggressive and resolute sword technique.
But Pei Xuanjing was different, the two of them unluckily embarked on the same path, and unfortunately, Pei Xuanjing was a little stronger.
This slight edge caused Pei Xuanjing’s sword intent to completely suppress his Saber Intent.
Countless sword lights penetrated his body, if not for his tenacious will and the strong vitality of a first-grade martial artist, he would have died on the spot.
But now, he is dying and won’t live much longer.
“Kill me!” Lawlessness forced a smile and said to Pei Xuanjing. As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people who had followed him changed drastically, but they heard Lawlessness continue with a bitter smile, “To die at your hands, I won’t be ashamed!”
“As you wish!”
Pei Xuanjing nodded.
“May I take him away?”
A gentle voice sounded in Pei Xuanjing’s ear, who was about to finish Lawlessness.
Pei Xuanjing smiled faintly, then said to the newcomer, “Huh, I didn’t expect sir, even though you have been banished by the Great Ming imperial court, you still care about Great Ming.”
The visitor was surprisingly Wang Boan, who hadn’t been seen in a long time.
Pei Xuanjing didn’t expect that Wang Boan, who had retired and was teaching in the countryside, would come here.
“Lawlessness is after all the Chief Capturer of the Six Gates, dying at your hands…” Wang Boan lamented.
Originally, Wang Boan, who had retired and was home, no longer bothered with worldly affairs and was devoted to reading books.
But when Qingxu the Taoist found out that people from the Six Gates were going to the Justice Hall, he still chose to inform Wang Boan, as a way to pay back the favor of asking him to hold back before.
Although they only met once, Wang Boan was deeply impressed with Pei Xuanjing, and even he was reluctant to go against Pei Xuanjing because of his strength.
So, in his view, the longtime famous Lawlessness and Pei Xuanjing’s duel was definitely an epic battle, and no matter who won or lost, there would probably not be any good outcome.
He rushed here to stop the two from fighting, but unfortunately, he was still a step late. When he arrived, the outcome of the match had already been decided.
Seeing that Pei Xuanjing was about to kill Lawlessness, he still decided to stop him.
Even if Lawlessness seemed heavily injured and close to death, he couldn’t let Lawlessness die here, which would only do harm without benefit to the Great Ming imperial court.
“So what?” Pei Xuanjing replied indifferently.
Being in big debt doesn’t worry, he didn’t care about the threat from the Great Ming imperial court at all.
With his current grudge against them, if there came a day when he fell into the hands of the Great Ming imperial court, he would not escape death.
Even if he killed Lawlessness today, could the Great Ming imperial court kill him twice if that day really came?
“Why must you be like this?” Wang Boan shook his head slightly, he knew that the other party wasn’t a bloodthirsty person.
But the situation today was not the time for lengthy discussions, he simply asked again, “Can I take him away?”
All eyes were on Pei Xuanjing, if Pei Xuanjing refused , a great battle might break out here again.
If one sentence was used to describe Wang Boan’s life , it could be briefly summarized as: Half a lifetime in office unnoticed, overnight pacification became world-renowned.”
Wang Boan, who was devoted to serving as an official in the first half of his life, although diligent, had always had a bumpy career, and apart from a few people who had interacted with him, he was not famous at all.
However, after the rebellion of Ning King, when he killed several first-grade martial artists of the underworld with a flip of his hand, he showed extraordinary martial arts. At the same time, with a hundred thousand troops, he defeated the million-strong army of Ning King, showcasing his extraordinary military talent.
Since then, the events of Wang Boan’s early life have been dug up one by one, earning him the admiration of countless people. It can be said that Wang Boan became famous overnight.
The emperor’s later treatment of Wang Boan, made many people upset, believing that the emperor had been too harsh.
Even though he was a public official, Wang Boan’s reputation in the martial world was excellent, with countless supporters.
“It seems that there are still people who don’t want you to die.” Pei Xuanjing shook his head at Lawlessness, then said to Wang Boan, “Since you have spoken, how could I refuse?”
Looking at the slim middle-aged man in scholarly robes, Pei Xuanjing could sense the hidden power in him with his own strength. Although it was unclear how strong he was, he was certainly not to be underestimated.
Moreover, Wang Boan had easily let him go in the past, even though he was not afraid of him, and there was the factor of Taoist Qingxu.
Besides, there was Gu Ji between the two of them. Pei Xuanjing still remembered that he had borrowed a book from Wang Boan.
In the end, it was undeniable that he had received a favor from him.
All things considered,
So, sparing Lawlessness’s life didn’t mean much to Pei Xuanjing..
