Chapter 1022 1017: Conqueror
"Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry!"
Gazing at the eighteen cavalry blocking his path, Life Eternal's pupils narrowed sharply, a trace of fear emerging.
As the opposing faction, the Holy Heart Clan had thoroughly investigated the Qin Dynasty, which included the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry, a uniquely ancient military force of the Qin.
Though only eighteen riders, they surpassed thousands of troops.
They are also the most terrifying enemy.
"Young Master, their cultivation is not low, all at the Peak of Immortal King!"
The gray-robed figure behind Life Eternal observed carefully for a moment, his gaze solemn as he secretly transmitted the message.
"No Immortal Emperor?"
Hearing this, Life Eternal was relieved instead, and ordered displeased, "Then what are you waiting for? Aren't you going to kill them? You lack any perceptive ability!"
Upon hearing these words, a trace of anger flashed across the gray-robed figure's face, but restrained by his status, he ultimately said nothing, moving toward the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry.
As he turned his back on Life Eternal, he touched the 'slave' mark on his forehead, revealing a grim expression.
He then took out a battle knife, its rank not high, only reaching the seventh level.
Clearly unworthy of an Immortal Emperor's peak status.
"Gentlemen, how about letting us pass?"
The gray-robed figure asked in a deep voice, the sound harsh, as if two pieces of metal were rubbing.
He didn't attack rashly, knowing well that the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry was a military unit capable of deploying formations, unleashing over-leveled fighting power.
During his peak, he might have dared to resist.
But ever since becoming a slave of the Holy Heart Clan, he lost the opportunity to cultivate.
Because his cultivation reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, the Holy Heart Clan feared his breakthrough to Immortal Emperor realm, breaking the slave curse, so he never cultivated again, resulting in a decline in strength.
Moreover, lacking a suitable weapon, his combat power dwindled significantly.
"Kill!"
The leader of the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry shook his head coldly, his eyes blooming with terrifying light, raising the scimitar in his hand, its cold glint illuminating the starry sky.
Boom!
Eighteen scimitars pointed skyward!
Eighteen Peak Immortal King pressures soared, forming a military formation, tearing the heavens and earth.
Instantly, the strength of the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry surged, skyrocketing dozens of times over, all breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm, the momentum reverberating, shattering vast stretches of the starry sky.
"Slash!"
The leader of the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry shouted, eighteen scimitars slashing down simultaneously, releasing crescent moon blade energies, bloodlight swirling around, sealing off the heavens and earth in all directions, across thousands of miles.
From afar, it looked like eighteen blood moons descending, annihilating everything, the momentum was terrifying.
"Indeed!"
The gray-robed figure murmured, not retreating, as a radiant gleam appeared in his cloudy eyes.
He gripped the battle knife tightly, his aura changing abruptly, as if he transformed into a different person, his body and blade merging, incredibly sharp, causing the heavens to tremble, the sun and moon to lose their brilliance.
"Slash!"
The gray-robed figure roared angrily, his hair flying, the blade's essence crossing the void, unleashing unrivaled blade energy.
At the moment of striking, the starry sky behind him twisted, a dazzling blade energy emerging, as though composed of myriad stars, extinguishing countless worlds.
This strike dared to dim the sun and moon.
Clang!
A tumultuously piercing sound reverberated, immeasurable blade light spreading, affecting countless stars, while at the site of their clash, the starry sky was completely annihilated, leaving nothing behind.
"So terrifying!"
Life Eternal's expression changed drastically, he swallowed hard, turned and fled, his celestial energy running at its utmost, transforming into a stream of light flying into the distance.
"Trying to run?"
A low voice echoed in the unknown void.
Soon, a mysterious power spread, sealing the void, forming a boundary-less prison.
"Brothers, charge!"
On the battlefield, the leader of the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry shouted, pulling the reins with force, as the warhorse at Immortal King realm soared, launching a charge.
Rumble!
The sound of hooves like thunder.
Even though only eighteen riders, the momentum created was like a thousand troops charging, transforming into a steel torrent, metal-clad warriors, devouring thousands of miles.
Wherever they passed, all ceased to exist.
No matter how strong the enemy, they would be overwhelmed, the skies collapsing, the earth shattering, annihilating all.
"To have a grand battle at life's end is worth it!"
The gray-robed figure's expression was solemn, touching his forehead with his left hand, exerting force, directly tearing off the flesh marked with 'slave', blood dripping, staining his body.
Boom!
As if unleashing a bind, a more terrifying aura erupted from within him.
He quickly wielded the battle knife!
Blade light dazzling.
Forming a long river of blade energy, vast and mighty, engulfing all.
Rumble!
In the next moment, the attacks from both sides clashed intensely, the warhorse lifted its forehooves and then heavily stomped down, crushing countless threads of blade energy.
The charge was unstoppable!
The Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry was like supreme heavenly soldiers, piercing through the river of blade energy.
"Slash!"
The leader of the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry shouted, the crescent scimitar swinging, leaping past the gray-robed figure, blade light flashing, severing a fine head.
Blood spurted skyward!
A headless corpse fell.
The furious gale raged, blowing his gray robe, exposing a body full of scars, narrating his former glory.
A generation of knife masters falls!
"Ya!"
The sound of hooves gradually weakens.
The Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry also disappeared into the distance.
They didn't stop, as conquerors never pause for the scenery they pass.
Not far away, Life Eternal exerted all his strength, still desperately escaping.
After running for a while, he seemed to discover something, suddenly halting, looking around in panic, feeling hopeless.
"Still in the same place!"
Life Eternal whispered, realizing he had run for half a day, yet remained in the same spot.
At this time, the sound of hooves came from afar, growing louder and louder, like thousands of drums beating, resembling heavenly thunder charging, yet akin to the reaper's roar.
"No, don't kill me, I surrender..."
Life Eternal's face turned deathly pale instantly, hurriedly turning, spinelessly kneeling on the ground, shouting: "I am willing to exchange the Holy Heart Clan's inheritance and wealth for my life!"
A gust of wind blew past, the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry appeared before Life Eternal, infinite killing intent enveloping the surrounding starfield.
Life Eternal dared not to look up, his legs trembling, consumed by extreme fear.
"You?"
"Still wanting to marry Lord Cai?"
A moment later, a cold voice sounded, devoid of any emotion.
Life Eternal's heart trembled, as he was about to speak, he felt his neck chill, then the world spun, first seeing his own body kneeling in the starry sky, then seeing the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry wielding the battle knife.
"Am I dead?"
"But I still don't want to die..."
The vibrant world in Life Eternal's eyes rapidly turned gray, until it was completely swallowed by darkness.
He was a cowardly person afraid of death.
Therefore, in the final moment of life, he held doubt towards death.
Not wanting to die!
This isn't just him, it's the attitude of every being toward life and death.
But in this world of martial arts where the weak are prey to the strong, death is all too common, countless martial artists proving the way, yet how many can reach the pinnacle?
The leader of the Yan Yun Eighteen Cavalry bent down, took the ring from Life Eternal's hand, then rode swiftly into the Seventh Heaven.
After they left, two others departed from the void in the shadows.
One of them was Mencius!
The other was Demon King Golden Silkworm!
Evidently, for the Holy Heart Clan's inheritance, the Hall of All Clans had made preparations, but ultimately failed.
