C48 Self-destruction
The moment Wan Qing revealed her Spirit Star, her aura suddenly changed. Although her figure and appearance didn't change, everyone could feel the incomparable aura from her body.
Arthur also opened his eyes, although his injuries were not completely healed. As he prepared to help Wan Qing whenever he needed help, he also wanted to see the elegance of the fine sword Spirit Star that was ranked as one of the seven swords in the sky.
Ever since he was young, he had always loved swords and sabers, so he had a thorough understanding of the palm techniques of the seven swordsmen. He had already known that among the seven swordsmen, one of them thought of her as a hero. It was said that the treasured sword she used was a thin, slender sword.
From the looks of it, the thin sword that Wan Qing was holding, should be that beautiful woman's sword that did not let go of her eyebrows.
Bao Wen held the iron spear in his hand and carefully circled it around Wan Qing. He could feel an enormous killing intent from that slender sword. This type of killing intent was rarely seen, and it caused him to involuntarily tremble in fear.
Wan Qing lowered his head, and looked at the Spirit Star Sword's soft body, and his eyes revealed a gentle gaze. When they were in the valley, she had followed her grandfather to practice the sword. Hun Jian had once taken out all seven swords for her to choose from, and she immediately took a fancy to Spirit Star Sword.
Although the original owner of the Spirit Star Sword was a woman, she had been quiet in the valley for more than two hundred years. Aside from having half a day each month to battle with the lightning beasts, he was also very bored.
Thus, the Hun Jian practiced all kinds of sword techniques again and again in his free time. With his sword skills, using Spirit Star Sword was a piece of cake.
His hands had taught Wan Qing how to practice the sword, so Wan Qing's improvement was naturally huge. If not for Wan Qing's innate Ji Yin Body, Profound Practitioner's cultivation would not have been unable to breakthrough her third rank after so many years of practice.
When she was ten years old, Hun Jian took the Spirit Star back. You already understand the Spirit Star Sword a lot about Wan Qing, and this treasured sword has already become one with you. If you continue to practice, you will most likely be driven by the vicious aura within the sword.
Although the original owner of this treasured sword was not a murderous person, after many years of wandering around, the Spirit Star Sword had the souls of countless dead people left on it. These ghosts caused the Spirit Star's killing intent to rise greatly, so it was not easy to use it too often when Wan Qing was still young.
He gave her the god shock sword again, hoping that the strength of soul inside would be able to help her cultivation level increase further.
So to this day, when Wan Qing picked up the Spirit Star Sword once more, three years had already passed.
Wan Qing caressed the sword with her small hand, and spoke as if she was an old friend: "Little Star, we've been separated for three years, do you miss me too?"
The Spirit Star Sword did not emit the cry of a sword, but its slender body had actually wrapped itself around Wan Qing's arm.
This scene was very strange, attracting everyone's attention. Only one person was an exception.
Bao Wen had already moved behind Wan Qing, he had also noticed the change in the thin sword. Based on his rich combat experience, this was the best time to strike.
When the opportunity presented itself, he had never hesitated. It was the same this time.
Bao Wen leaped up, holding onto his iron spear and thrusted towards Wan Qing's back.
"Truly despicable." Although Wan Qing's voice was gentle, everyone heard it and felt their bodies tremble.
"Crap, we were discovered by her?" Bao Wen was also shocked.
But he did not see Wan Qing dodge it, "Hmph hmph, so what if we find out? Isn't it the same? "
The thrust of his hand increased in strength.
Wan Qing did not turn back, but the Spirit Star Sword that was initially wrapped around her arm suddenly became perfectly straight. Wan Qing thrust the sword backwards from his right shoulder, using a sword technique that was hard to imagine.
Originally, Bao Wen's iron spear was already close to hitting Wan Qing, but a thin tip of sword shot out from Wan Qing's shoulder.
Bao Wen was startled: "Could it be that you want to die together with me?"
However, he had a thought, "That's not right. My spear is so long, her thin sword will definitely not be longer than my weapon. No matter how fast her sword moves are, it should still be her who gets stabbed first. "
Unfortunately, Bao Wen thought too simply, the Spirit Star Sword did not stab him in the body, and instead, it suddenly changed direction mid-air. From a position of 90 degrees, it suddenly changed directions and directly pierced the tip of the spear.
Bao Wen inexplicably felt that the direction that the spear was moving in had changed. From its original forward position, it began to pierce the ground. The change in angle was extremely natural, as if it was supposed to be this way.
Everything happened too quickly, Bao Wen did not even have time to react.
Puff! The iron spear fiercely thrust into the ground. With this, the entire spearhead was sunk into the ground. There was even a section of metal pole that followed along. From this, one could see just how much strength Bao Wen had used in this one strike.
Along with the sudden stop of the iron spear, his chest hit the metal pole all of a sudden. This strike just happened to hit his heart, and the heart-wrenching pain made Bao Wen want to kneel down.
But he could not squat down, because Wan Qing's fatal moves followed closely behind.
Borrowing the power of the iron spear that was coming from the sword, Wan Qing instantly flipped backwards in the air. She swung her Spirit Star Sword s around, and the sword body that was as thin as her pinky cut towards Bao Wen's neck at an extremely tricky angle.
Bao Wen did not care to pull out his iron spear, he stepped on the ground, and fiercely jumped backwards. Although he avoided the attack on his throat, his chest was still cut open by the Spirit Star.
Bao Wen was initially wearing a set of armor, but who would have thought that in front of the thin Spirit Star Sword, his thick chest armor was like a piece of leather that had been defeated. He didn't resist at all, immediately giving up on defense.
This sword strike had also made a huge cut on his chest, causing blood to gush out.
Bao Wen was also a ruthless person, he bent over and grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, then fiercely pressed it onto his wound. The leaves on the sand seemed to have the effect of stopping the bleeding, which slowed down the flow of blood a lot.
However, this was simply an emergency cure. The pain in his chest grew more and more intense, and blood was still seeping out slowly. At the same time, Bao Wen also felt that the strengthening force from the contract was becoming weaker and weaker.
He no longer dared to be vexed over the fact that he had underestimated his opponent. At this very moment, the most important thing for him was to quickly leave this place before the effects of the contract disappeared.
The idea of capturing traitors and spies for promotion was no longer practical. What was important now was to stay alive.
He could also tell that this foreign girl in front of him was definitely an existence that was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Up till now, he still did not see the electric light emitted from Wan Qing's body. Hence, he could not even tell what level Wan Qing had levelled up to.
The unknown danger made him feel even more hopeless. Now, even if someone told him that this foreign girl was a Profound Practitioner with the Fourth Rank of light, he would still believe them.
"We need to escape this place as soon as possible, but how?" Bao Wen had turned from a hunter into a prey.
He saw the little girl wrap the thin sword around her arm and walk towards him, step by step. It was as if he felt the approach of a demon.
Suddenly, he remembered. This girl is from the Profound Nation, then her talent must be extremely high in the Profound Practitioner. However, I heard that the people of Xuan Kingdom don't pay much attention to soul skills, so this girl's Soul Master level must not be high.
He didn't have time to think about whether or not he was right. He could only put everything on the line.
He quickly formed a hand seal and sent out a soul skill, Dizzy. The girl slowly advanced and stopped, her eyes filled with confusion.
Arthur, who had been watching the battle from the side, was also quietly exclaiming. He hadn't thought that this weak and delicate little girl would be so terrifying when she attacked. Then he thought of another question.
If even his little sister had such a method, then how terrifying would the elder brother in question be? Arthur was glad that he did not become enemies with this pair of monstrous siblings. Instead, their relationship was already good enough.
However, when he saw Bao Wen use Dizzy, and saw Wan Qing's expression again, he was speechless. He could see through Bao Wen's scheme, and suddenly stood up.
But it was already too late. Bao Wen was already too close to him. Bao Wen only took a single step forward, and he stood in front of the girl with a perplexed expression. Bao Wen grabbed Wan Qing's throat with his hand, and with his other hand, he pressed down onto her head.
"My dear brother, please stay where you are." Bao Wen stopped Arthur who wanted to come and save her: "I have to say, you found a good helper, and this girl really surprised me. But now, it didn't matter how strong she was. As long as I slap her palm down like this, even if she's the reincarnation of a fairy, she's destined to die. "
Although Arthur clenched his fists tightly, he still knew that Bao Wen's words were true.
Arthur said: "Bao Wen, you have to think about the consequences. Since the little princess is already so powerful, his brother isn't someone you can afford to offend. His brother can come back at any time. If he sees you doing this to his sister, will you be able to take his anger? "
Bao Wen sneered: "Brother, thank you for reminding me. If his brother comes back, I really will be in trouble. Therefore, I need to leave this place as soon as possible before he comes back. "
Suddenly, his face became extremely twisted. "Arthur, you and your men retreat. If you dare not to listen, I would rather fight to the death than let this little princess die. "
Arthur's teeth chattered loudly, and the scar on his face became more ferocious. However, he had no choice but to retreat step by step with the other four bald men.
The two groups of people distanced themselves further and further away. Arthur shouted again: "Bao Wen, this distance is enough. Let go of the little princess now, I swear in the name of my lord father that I will definitely let you go. I, Arthur, shall let bygones be bygones. "
"Hahahaha." As if he had heard a funny joke, Bao Wen laughed heartily: "Brother, aren't you thinking too naively? This girl was from the Profound Nation, and had such talent, she could very possibly be the daughter of an important figure in the Profound Nation's Liu Family. If he gave her to the king as a way to balance the kingdom, the king's grand plan could be realized years earlier. If that's the case, then I'm more than just promoted to captain. Even becoming the mayor of Wang Guo Town is not impossible. "
"Despicable person, aren't you thinking too much?" Wan Qing who was initially dizzy suddenly spoke.
A happy smile appeared on her small face, as if she had already succeeded in her long planned conspiracy.
"You've actually awakened? How is that possible?" The shocked Bao Wen looked at the girl he was still controlling in his arms, and was scared witless.
But he quickly reacted, the hand that was holding Wan Qing's neck wanted to tighten, the hand that was pressing on Wan Qing's head wanted to exert force.
However, he discovered that his body had actually lost its function, leaving a numb feeling all over.
"You brought about your own destruction, you can't blame me." Wan Qing smiled, but in Bao Wen's eyes, that smile was like a demon's.
Wan Qing muttered to himself, "Storm Thunder Body."
