#993 - Fish before the power

“Young Master! Be careful!!!”

When the familiar yet foreign Intent of Picking the Moon Sword soared to the sky, accompanied by Xu Quan's shout that exploded in his ears, Wei Changtian's heart clenched, and in that instant, he completely lost control of the sword dragon.

“Boom!!”

The silver dragon finally crashed straight into Guan Kong's chest, and the next second, a dark green light mist suddenly appeared, completely enveloping the latter.

Clearly, Guan Kong's plan had succeeded.

He had finally triggered the Qingjue Jade Pendant and would be teleported away from the illusion array in no more than three breaths.

Of course, if his luck was bad, Guan Kong might not be able to escape with his life, and might even be teleported directly under the eyes of the Tiangou Army.

Even if he teleported to a hidden location, the injuries he had sustained and the severed left arm would still prevent him from returning to his peak in this lifetime.

Without some great opportunity, Guan Kong would probably not even be able to withstand a single move from Wei Changtian the next time they met.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to a top expert who had once stood in the “first echelon” of human martial artists.

But to be able to find a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation, Guan Kong was already lucky enough.

This “luck” was not only because he was decisive enough, but also because Wei Changtian was indeed not cautious enough.

Wei Changtian actually had no need to fight Guan Kong in the final move, he could have easily captured the latter alive by continuing to wear him down.

It was a pity that it was too late to regret it now.

Wei Changtian's plan to besiege Guan Kong was indeed perfect in the first half, but there was indeed a flaw in the last step.

He could not blame others for this, he could only blame himself for being too confident.

However, just like the previous siege of Xiao Feng, Wei Changtian might become more cautious as a result, and would probably not give the other party a chance to “sacrifice his life for survival” in similar situations in the future.

Of course, whether it was self-blame or reflection, these were things for later.

For Wei Changtian at this moment, he had no time to consider these things, he just stood there with a pale face, and even his fingertips were trembling slightly.

Because at the same time that the Qingjue Jade Pendant was triggered, the invincible Intent of Picking the Moon Sword had also shot towards his back.

The Picking the Moon Sword.

Staring wide-eyed in a daze, Wei Changtian wanted to turn his head, but for some reason he couldn't move at all.

Chaotic information poured into his mind frantically, making his brain blank, yet incomparably chaotic.

At this moment, he felt a strange fear for the first time.

Wei Changtian had not been “killed” by others before, and had experienced all kinds of extremely dangerous situations.

But at most, those would make him feel a weak or strong life-and-death crisis, but never made him feel fear.

In other words, this was actually the first time Wei Changtian was “afraid” after transmigrating.

Possessing several life-saving tools, Wei Changtian was naturally not afraid of death.

In a flash of lightning, he actually couldn't understand why this was, everything seemed to be an instinctive reaction.

If he had to find a reason, perhaps it was because Wei Changtian knew very well that he could not resist this sword.

Because he could not resist it, so he was afraid?

But for that Chang Shuan, presumably his thoughts before his death were not surprise and disbelief, but only deep powerlessness and despair.

At this moment, Wei Changtian could already feel this “powerlessness”.

Even compared to Chang Shuan, his mood at the moment was even more complicated.

Because Wei Changtian probably never imagined that one day he would become the “fish” in front of “Divine Power”.

And what was even more “coincidental” was that the one who unleashed this strike was actually one of the witnesses when he first “showed his power”.

He's already a first-rank...

Sighing in his heart, Wei Changtian did not resist, nor did he have time to make any resistance.

He just stood there with his back to the sword energy, waiting for the Qingjue Jade Pendant on his body to be triggered, and then teleported to an unknown place like Guan Kong.

Without a doubt, in the entire plan, Wei Changtian would not have arranged in advance how to deal with a “first-rank expert causing trouble”.

So he couldn't do anything now, he could only wait to “die” and then act according to the situation.

However, the next second, when the sharp sword energy brushed past the corner of his clothes embroidered with the word “Wei” and roared forward, Wei Changtian suddenly opened his eyes again.

Like a stone sculpture, he stared blankly as the sword energy, which seemed to be tangible and intangible, easily cut open the sword dragon, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the green light where Guan Kong was.

“Puff!”

Like a stone falling into a mud pool, the earth-shattering collision that he had imagined did not appear, only a slight sinking sound.

The Intent of Picking the Moon Sword, which was carrying an irresistible force, mysteriously disappeared into the green light, and then disappeared into the air along with the latter.

It's gone?

What's going on?

Staring wide-eyed in a daze, Wei Changtian's mind was filled with two questions at this moment.

The first was undoubtedly the target of this sword.

The second was where this sword went.

With these two questions, Wei Changtian finally slowly turned his head and met Qin Zhengqiu's gaze, whose white hair was disheveled.

Through the latter's messy hair, he saw an old face, which was very different from the face in his memory.

“Grand...Grandpa...”

Subconsciously calling out, Wei Changtian wanted to say something, but then the words suddenly locked in his throat.

Because he saw Qin Zhengqiu raise the precious sword in his hand again.

“Zheng!!!”

The silver light of the Dragon Spring Sword soared, and the countless long swords scattered on the ground flew up again, all the sword tips pointing at Qin Zhengqiu.

Wei Changtian's face was extremely ugly, the pure internal force that was infinitely close to the peak of the second rank surged frantically, and even the golden relic containing the internal force of the first rank was secretly held in his palm.

Facing Qin Zhengqiu, who had a high probability of breaking through to the first rank, even if he knew that he was no match, he could only try his best.

After all, it was not only himself who was here at the moment, but also Yang Liushi, Zhili, Xu Quan, Zhang San and others. If Qin Zhengqiu really wanted to start a massacre, then only he might be able to stop him.

“Grandpa!!”

The voice went from weak to strong. At such a critical moment, Wei Changtian also went all out and took a step forward and roared:

“What are you going to do?!”

“...”

As expected, Wei Changtian did not receive any response.

The inhuman Qin Zhengqiu just glanced at him with an extremely complicated look, then waved his long sword and slashed in a direction that Wei Changtian had not expected at all.

“Bang!!”

The rolling black mist suddenly exploded, and the next second, blood shot into the air.

When the illusion array created by Lin Zhi using Dijiang was slashed by Qin Zhengqiu in just an instant, the former's head also flew high at the same time, and his wide-eyed eyes were filled with lingering bewilderment.

At this second, Wei Changtian, as well as the experts from all sides who showed their figures as the black mist dissipated, were all stunned in place.

The thoughts in everyone's minds were obviously different, but the expressions on their faces were the same.

But Qin Zhengqiu turned a blind eye to all of this. After killing Lin Zhi cleanly, he didn't even look at Wei Changtian again, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of Dongli Building.

“Whoosh!!!”

“Husband!!!”

The illusion array, which was no longer of any use, was actively withdrawn. In Yang Liushi's urgent cry, the dim moonlight once again fell into the ruins of Dongli Building.

By the moonlight, Wei Changtian saw Yang Liushi, Zhili and others running towards this side from all directions; he saw the many Tiangou Army soldiers outside with tense expressions; he saw the experts from various forces with different expressions, but none of them dared to act rashly; he saw the four-winged faceless beast flying out of Lin Zhi's body and flying towards Qin Zhengqiu.

Without a doubt, at this moment, Wei Changtian needed to make a decision.

“Grandpa...”

Staring at the back that had already walked out several feet, Wei Changtian slowly lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse.

The moonlight was dim, and the clouds were misty.

Wei Changtian did not order everyone to stop Qin Zhengqiu, nor did he intend to communicate with Qin Zhengqiu to express his feelings, and he didn't even ask any questions.

After a brief thought, he just said something that sounded a little inexplicable at this moment.

It was also an answer to a question that Qin Zhengqiu had asked long ago, but he had glossed over.

“Yes.”

“This world can only accommodate one person to become an immortal.”
