Chapter 890: The World No Longer Has He Jinqiu
Chapter 890: The World No Longer Has He Jinqiu
The northern position had already been opened by Qing Chen.
He drove five puppets, slaughtering within the position, while all the soldiers were terrified.
It wasn't that the soldiers were intimidated by Qing Chen's ferocity.
After all, everyone had been on the battlefield and had seen giants tearing people apart, so they wouldn't be frightened by a human.
But the problem was that the five puppets beside Qing Chen were their superiors!
For example, this army field regiment used to be under Fourth Master last year, and four years ago, they were under Second Master.
Now that everyone saw the appearances of Second Master and Fourth Master clearly, they didn't even dare to shoot for a moment!
This was the army, and the people fighting each other were their former superiors, who dared to act?
At this moment, there were even officers trying to awaken "them', shouting loudly, "Second Brother! Fourth Brother! We are our own people, don't kill us!"
But how could Second Master and Fourth Master care about these things now? They couldn't even control themselves!
Therefore, it was this moment of hesitation that was enough to bring them world-destroying disaster!
After entering the battlefield, the way Qing Chen killed was no longer Autumn Leaf Blade.
The Knight True Qi of the five Black Knights had been used up, and the back of their heads were mostly bald.
Even Qing Chen's Knight's Qi had been mostly consumed, and he could no longer use large-scale killing methods.
The Forbidden Artifact power bank could allow him to instantly recover mana, but the power bank could only be used once a month, and he had already used it in the confined elevator transporting armored vehicles.
He only thought for a second and then changed his tactics.
Qing Chen poured his Knight's Qi into Marionette, and then he and the five puppets rushed wildly through the crowd.
There was no need to do anything extra, he only needed to take the five puppets for a walk around the position, and the battlefield behind him would be as if it had been plowed, clean and tidy.
This kind of killing efficiency was too high, ridiculously high!
Moreover, after the Knight True Qi condensed into cloud Qi, it was terrifyingly sharp. When he passed by the soldiers, he easily cut them in half at the waist, and then sacrificed them to Marionette.
Therefore, the most terrifying thing about Qing Chen after killing enemies was that there was no blood, no corpses, nothing on the ground.
The soldiers seemed to have evaporated from the world out of thin air.
At this time, He Jinqiu arrived, and he passed through the passage opened by Qing Chen for him without hesitation.
He didn't even ask Qing Chen if he could hold on, because he knew Qing Chen definitely could.
At this point, all words were superfluous.
In He Jinqiu's eyes, now there was only the transport airship above the Azure Palace. All the flying swords in other directions had already flown back. The nineteen flying swords formed a sword formation, flying towards the target like a torrent!
Inside the transport airship, the Silver Duke also noticed something was wrong. He immediately ordered the transport airship to descend in altitude. He wanted to go to the ground!
800 meters
600 meters
400 meters
He Jinqiu sneered as he watched him save himself, but at this height of 400 meters, the sword stream finally caught up!
Nineteen flying swords simultaneously pierced into the transport airship, strangling the airship's internal power compartment and turbine!
The turbines on both sides of the transport airship exploded into fireballs with a bang, burning thick smoke in the sky and falling obliquely!
After destroying the airship, the nineteen flying swords did not return. He Jinqiu controlled them to fly into the cabin to find Silver Duke.
The cabin had completely tilted, and the soldiers inside fell heavily against one side of the airship's wall one by one.
However, the Silver Duke stood steadily on the cabin floor, as if the shaking cabin and gravity did not exist at all.
The nineteen flying swords strangled towards him, but the Silver Duke sneered and moved around in the cabin: "The end of the crossbow, the flying sword's speed is slow, how can it kill me?
His figure pulled out countless afterimages in place, and the flying sword trajectory that was almost invisible was found by him one by one.
Inside the cabin, there was a continuous nineteen crisp sounds of metal colliding. This Silver Duke actually used his fingertips to inject Knight True Qi and flicked back the attacks of the nineteen flying swords.
Under the flick of his fingertips, cracks appeared on all the mind swords and bone swords!
He Jinqiu on the ground suddenly felt a huge force backlash, and he felt a shock in his meridians, and he was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe.
Mind swords and bone swords were connected to the sword cultivator himself. If they were injured, the sword cultivator would also be injured.
He Jinqiu's heart trembled.
Knight Demi-Gods had always been the ceiling in one-on-one fights. The Silver Duke attacked again and again with wide-open moves, as swift as lightning.
Even the flying swords were not as fast as him!
If He Jinqiu had not had that brilliant battle before, he could still fight.
But now, he couldn't fight!
Even if this Silver Duke showed only 80% of Li Shutong's power, he still couldn't fight!
He Jinqiu frowned. Previously, he and Qing Chen had somewhat underestimated this Knight Demi-God because he was taking the wrong path.
However, the reality was that although the other party forcibly stimulated Endorphin with magic potions to assist in the Trials of Life and Death, a solid Knight Demi-God was still a Knight Demi-God.
The other party was still the ceiling-level in one-on-one fights among Demi-Gods!
But the problem was that now was the best time to kill the Silver Duke.
If the other party was allowed to reorganize Silver City, when they met again in East Continent, who would pay the price of their life to stop this Silver Duke?
He Jinqiu calmly controlled the nineteen flying swords to retreat, confronting the Silver Duke in the cabin.
He wanted to find the other party's flaw, waiting for the moment when the other party lost his balance during the airship's descent.
But this Silver Duke was extremely fierce. Even though the airship had tilted a full 60 degrees, he still stood steadily on the floor, motionless!
This was the combat instinct that this Knight Demi-God had honed over hundreds of years, a powerful beast-like instinct!
He Jinqiu watched as the transport airship had fallen from a height of 400 meters to 130 meters.
The airship was about to crash. As long as he kept this Silver Duke in the airship, the other party would definitely die!
At this time, the Silver Duke looked coldly at the hovering flying sword and immediately understood He Jinqiu's plan.
He sneered, his whole body disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived at the hatch.
He suddenly pulled down the emergency passage, and an emergency hatch suddenly opened on the side of the airship. An inflatable escape slide immediately propped up.
At this moment, the Silver Duke's pupils suddenly contracted. He actually saw the distant royal fleet in the air.
Not good, Fate Weaver was going to take advantage of their Prophet's foresight to rob him.
But now was not the time to think about these things.
The nineteen flying swords swept over again, but the Silver Duke did not rush to jump out. He seemed to be waiting for this moment.
His arms flashed out like lightning several times, and the sound of metal colliding sounded again, but this time it was not nineteen times, but twenty times!
He Jinqiu had not found his flaw, but the other party had found his flaw first... the ninth mind sword!
The polishing time for this ninth mind sword was originally late. It was only after He Jinqiu arrived at Whale Island and obtained Purple Orchid Star that he barely polished it out.
Moreover, when he encountered the rat plague in City 10, he desperately held on until this ninth mind sword cracked in order to block the Rat Tide.
Now, only a month had passed, and although the crack in this ninth mind sword could not be seen, it had not been completely repaired.
And this Silver Duke accurately found this flaw in that electric flint.
He continuously injected Knight True Qi into his fingertips, and flicked the hilt of the sword twice in a row!
With a bang, the ninth mind sword shattered in response, and the nineteen mind swords became eighteen. He Jinqiu on the ground staggered suddenly and spat out a mouthful of blood!
At this time, the airship had reached a height of 20 meters. Taking advantage of this moment, the Silver Duke jumped out of the emergency passage on the side of the airship with all his strength.
His face was grim, and the muscles in his legs that suddenly widened burst out with tremendous power.
It was this jump that actually offset the huge inertia during the fall, and his whole body jumped out of the airship obliquely!
Not far away, the transport airship exploded into a huge flame when it came into contact with the ground.
The Silver Duke stabilized his figure after rolling on the ground more than a dozen times, and slowly got up.
He did not die!
Even though He Jinqiu shot down the transport airship from a height of 800 meters, he still could not kill him!
He Jinqiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and continued to move forward!
In fact, he had also gone to see the Knight candidates challenging the cliffs.
He watched the stupid boy named Hu Jingyi challenge again and again, failing again and again.
On the day he challenged Whale Island's Qingshan Cliff, He Jinqiu watched in the dark. He saw Hu Jingyi gritting his teeth and risking his life to pass the Trial of Heart.
He saw that Hu Jingyi had never succeeded in the previous cliffs, but shouted that life had only just begun, and he would continue to move forward if he didn't die!
At that time, Hu Jingyi was just an ordinary stupid child, and He Jinqiu was already the master of Nine Provinces. Their strength and status were vastly different.
Now, the other party had realized his dream of becoming a Knight. Now, it was his turn.
If you don't die, keep moving forward!
The Silver Duke patted the dust off his body, feeling the slight fracture of his left calf neck bone and the strain of the cruciate ligament in his knee, which were in severe pain.
His face was gloomy as he looked back at the direction of Silver City, where there was a royal fleet, and since Fate Weaver had come, he must have brought enough power to kill him.
It was not suitable to stay here for long. He could not return to Silver City.
The Silver Duke turned to leave, but found that He Jinqiu was already standing in his way: "You can't leave."
The Silver Duke narrowed his eyes slightly: "Fate Weaver is coming, they have destroyed the defensive forces of Silver City, and they will come to find you and me immediately."
He Jinqiu shook his head: "I don't care."
The Silver Duke wanted to leave in other directions, but the eighteen flying swords were like soul-chasing chains, entangling him relentlessly. Then kill you first.
He had already explored He Jinqiu's reality, and the other party was indeed not good anymore!
Previously, the other party's strike that penetrated the Air Fortress had actually consumed too much spiritual will.
If the Air Fortress was also compared to a Demi-God, then He Jinqiu was fighting two Demi-Gods alone today!
This was unrealistic.
The Silver Duke said with a sneer: "I believe you also know the difference in strength between each other, and you still dare to chase after me... Aren't you afraid of death?
He Jinqiu asked with a smile: "Have you ever seen a sword technique that descends from the sky?
The Silver Duke said calmly: "Objectively speaking, when you penetrated the aerial fortress, I was indeed afraid. If that strike had come directly to kill me, I would have died. But you can't kill me now."
He Jinqiu shook his head with a smile: "So, in your opinion, if you can't beat someone, you should hide far away?
"Why be in vain?" the Silver Duke asked.
He Jinqiu shook his head again: "East Continent Knight Qin Sheng did not run when facing the million-strong army of robots. He knew he would die, but he went in and out of the battlefield ten times, forcibly bringing back the first division and second regiment of the Northwest Army from the robot legion.
East Continent Knight Li Yingyun did not run when facing the million-strong army of robots. He led ten Knights behind the battlefield to destroy an artillery unit of the other party and save a city in the Northwest."
"These are not recorded in history, but they all made their own choices when facing danger. Perhaps this is the reason why they are different from you."
"East Continent Knight Qing Chen, facing the million-strong Rat Tide in City 10, knew that he might die if he returned to the city, but he rescued 6130 people without sleeping or resting for three days. He knew that it had become a abandoned city and might be covered by artillery fire from the Li Clan and Chen Family at any time, but he still did not leave."
At this time, the eighteen flying swords flew back and lingered around He Jinqiu. He continued: "I have always envied Knights. Everyone says they are the most romantic people in the Federation, but do you know the definition of romance?
"The definition of romance is not flowers and moonlight, not vows of eternal love, not love and love. It is that you know that even if you fail, you will die, but you still have to do this thing, which is called romance... This is a Knight."
He Jinqiu looked at the Silver Duke: "You Black Knights are not worthy."
The Silver Duke shook his head: "I know that what you said is very heroic, very bloody, and very beautiful, but it is useless for you to say so much. Now you need to think about what you are relying on to kill me?
He Jinqiu did not answer immediately. He gently stroked each of the mind swords and bone swords beside him with his broken wrist, as if saying sorry to them, and then saying goodbye.
"What are you relying on?" He Jinqiu laughed: "Relying on my rotten life now."
"What if you can't kill me even if you risk this life?
He Jinqiu replied: "Just do good deeds, don't ask about the future. Follow your heart, don't ask east or west."
In an instant, he burned his last vitality, and the eighteen flying swords around him emitted a great light!
The next moment, the eighteen flying swords flew away from him like a torrent, surgingly killing the Silver Duke!
However, the Silver Duke raised his hand calmly to meet the attack. His whole body pulled out afterimages around him like a rabbit rising and falling, and the sound of metal colliding was endless.
The flying sword was knocked away again and again, and He Jinqiu's face became more and more tired again and again.
He Jinqiu's methods seemed a little weak in front of the Silver Duke, as if no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to hurt the other party in the slightest.
Moreover, during the battle, the Silver Duke even had the strength to urge Autumn Leaf Blade, using black hair as a needle, cutting across He Jinqiu's body one by one.
If He Jinqiu had not dodged in time, he would have had his carotid artery cut open several times.
He seemed to have no way, he could only mechanically repeat attacking with flying swords, and then be fiercely flicked away by the Silver Duke.
But... those flying swords that were knocked away actually flew back again and again, and returned to the Silver Duke's presence.
This battle was not as brilliant as before, nor as shocking as before.
He Jinqiu was like fighting someone in the street. He no longer had an exquisite suit or an exquisite black scepter. All he had was a heart that wanted to risk his life to kill the enemy.
He gave up his attention to detail and his calculations.
Previously, he was a sword immortal.
Now he was just a warrior!
This battle was simple and unpretentious.
This battle did not care about life or death, did not care about the cost!
The flying sword was knocked back again and again, and flew back again and again!
Endless, continuous.
In an instant, the Silver Duke counterattacked fiercely, and he suddenly broke out with unparalleled speed, continuously flicking in the void
Dozens of fingers, each of which was firmly flicked on the flying sword.
The mind sword in the air was accurately found by him one by one.
The first sword shattered...
The second sword shattered...
The eighth sword shattered...
Boss He's spirit suddenly weakened.
Since the birth of the Hu Clan sword cultivator, no one had ever shattered nine flying swords in one day. His internal organs seemed to be crushed. If it weren't for the body of this experimental subject, he might have died suddenly!
This was still the first time the flying sword thanked this gray body. Once upon a time, when he looked in the mirror and saw the gray self, he only felt that this was the ugliest time in his life.
Not particular at all.
So he cut his nails and put on a hat.
But if time could come again, he would definitely stand in the sun dignifiedly and re-examine himself.
The flying sword was shattered.
He still had a bone sword.
Even if the bone sword was shattered, he still had a rotten life.
However, the ten bone swords were actually more tenacious than the flying swords. Even after being hit countless times, they still flew stubbornly in the air.
At this time, it was when the Silver Duke had just made a desperate attack, completely breaking through Boss He's sword formation, but it finally gave Boss He a chance
However, the bone sword that was knocked away went back and forth, taking advantage of the other party's full-strength killing, cleverly cutting across the back of the other party's left ankle!
This was the leg that the Silver Duke had injured when he fell from the airship.
When the Silver Duke realized that something was wrong, it was too late to dodge. He barely raised his leg to avoid it, but this bone sword came too cleverly! The bone crack and ligament strain on his left leg also slowed down his movements at this moment!
Tendon!
It was this sword that directly cut off the Silver Duke's Achilles tendon!
The Silver Duke's eyes were bloodshot. His enemy was like a madman who completely disregarded his own life and death. Even though he was like a candle in the wind, he was still thinking about how to kill him, instead of thinking about how to survive!
He suddenly felt that if things continued like this, he might be the one who died!
The Silver Duke looked up at Boss He, but found a smile on the corner of the other party's mouth. Even though nine flying swords had been shattered, the other party was smiling for cutting off one of his Achilles tendons!
The Silver Duke did not want to delay any longer. The army position in the distance was no longer at war, and Joker could arrive at any time!
Fate Weaver might also come over at any time!
Thinking of this, he suddenly bent over, and his single leg burst out with endless power, pouncing towards the flying sword like a tiger!
In an instant, the Silver Duke's figure disappeared from sight. This speed was so fast that Boss He could only see a blurred shadow. Before he could see clearly, the other party had already arrived in front of him,
The Silver Duke raised his hand and pressed it heavily on Boss He's chest, and the Knight True Qi in his body surged into Boss He's body.
The Knight Demi-God's Knight True Qi was like a mountain torrent pouring down from the sky, passing through Boss He's limbs and bones, inch by inch breaking Boss He's blood vessels and muscle fibers.
This was why the Knight Demi-God could beat people like hanging pictures. Boss He looked unharmed on the surface, but all the vitality in his body had been destroyed.
But the Silver Duke saw that Boss He was still smiling.
Suddenly, his wrist hurt, and the hand that was pressed on Boss He's chest was also cut by a sword, cutting off his right hand tendon!
The Silver Duke was surprised that he had just made a desperate move, knocking away nine bone swords in the process, and one was missing.
It turned out that this bone sword had been waiting for him here.
From the beginning, Boss He had no intention of living. He wanted to use a life to exchange for a hand tendon of the Silver Duke,
At this time, Boss He suffered a huge force and flew out like a kite with a broken string, his body constantly rolling on the ground.
He looked up at the night sky, coughing and laughing: "I crippled one of your hands and one of your feet, how about it? Do you still dare to underestimate me?
He Jinqiu was extremely miserable, but extremely bitter.
The Silver Duke stared blankly at the blood line on his wrist: "With today's technology, it is easy to reconnect a hand tendon, and it will only take me a month, and this injury will not affect me in the slightest. Now, your heart is only barely pieced together, and the Knight True Qi that I left in your body cannot be healed at all, so you are bound to die. So, you used a life of a Demi-God to exchange for a wound that I can heal, why?
Boss He smiled and ignored him.
The Silver Duke said angrily: "Why? Why can you risk your life to exchange injuries with me? You are a Demi-God, are you not afraid of death at all?
Boss He looked at the starry sky above his head.
He really wanted to fly with his sword again to see the stars that were within reach.
But he only remembered at this moment that he could no longer fly with his sword.
He only had a rotten life left, slowly waiting to die
The Silver Duke asked for the third time: "Why?!
At this time, Boss He slowly turned his head to look at the horizon, where a young man was running wildly, covered in blood,
The puppets beside the young man did not know where they had died. Presumably the battle just now was very dangerous
"Do you want to know why?" Boss He asked.
The Silver Duke did not speak.
Boss He thought for two seconds. He thought of some people he had known and some things he had experienced: "Because... success does not have to be mine."
The Silver Duke was stunned. What Boss He meant was that he exchanged his life for one of his hand tendons and one of his Achilles tendons in order to create an opportunity for Qing Chen to kill himself.
It didn't matter if he was killed by Boss He, as long as he Silver Duke died!
The next moment, the Silver Duke saw Qing Chen cutting open his wrist, using blood as a guide, and extracting the blood-red long sword he had seized from Fate Weaver from his blood.
His heart suddenly trembled, and the Fate Weaver's prophecy to him echoed in his mind!
The person holding the blood-red long sword will personally kill the Silver Duke!
His face was uncertain, and after thinking about it, he did not think that Qing Chen had the strength to kill himself. He said coldly: "Do you think he can kill me? I am a Demi-God, and he is just an A-Class."
Boss He thought for a while and said: "You will be the first Demi-God he kills. This sword of his is finally going to be unsheathed. Next, he will kill the second, third, fourth... Until one day, this world will have weapons stored in warehouses, horses released on the south mountain, abundant grains, and happy people. My epitaph may read that this person is very good at playing swords, and you... will not have an epitaph."
As he spoke, Boss He coughed violently, and everything in his body was disintegrating under the wandering of the Knight True Qi.
But he didn't regret it at all.
At this time, the Silver Duke did not choose to kill Qing Chen, but turned around and ran away to the distance with a limp.
The sound of footsteps came, and Qing Chen knelt beside Boss He: "Boss He, how are you?
Boss He said lightly: "I can't live anymore, hurry up, go kill him, don't let him live to the day of the expedition to East Continent! I have cut off his right hand and left foot tendon. If you can't kill him, you will be ashamed of your Knight ancestors."
Qing Chen was stunned: "But you---"
Boss He looked at the starry sky: "Qing Chen, please, kill him."
"I'll check your injuries first," Qing Chen's nose was sore.
However, Boss He suddenly looked at Qing Chen seriously: "Go, go, the place I'm going to doesn't need courage, the place you're going to needs courage."
Qing Chen suddenly stood up and chased after the Silver Duke's back with all his strength.
He suddenly recalled one night on the way home from skipping class, he saw the well-dressed young man at the T-junction of Xingshu Road, and the other party smiled and said to him: Hello, I am Nine Provinces Boss He.
Qing Chen only felt that his heart, blood, and mind were all boiling, and the snow equipment in his body was constantly churning.
The electric arcs were constantly surging, and they were constantly growing in the boundless anger.
However, when they touched a certain critical point, they could not break through for a long time.
So, they chose to find another place, they chose to assimilate with flesh and blood, and they penetrated into Qing Chen's life.
At this time, He Jinqiu, who had been lying flat on the ground, tried his best to support his broken body and sat cross-legged on the ground.
He quietly watched the young man's whole body begin to become virtual, and the boundary of his body was replaced by thunder.
Elementalization!
Qing Chen actually completed the process of assimilation with thunder before the Demi-God!
At this time, Qing Chen only felt that he had traveled in this world again and again, saying goodbye to one friend after another, and the world had become decayed.
But you have to understand, my friend, we cannot use gentleness to deal with light, we must use fire.
In an instant, Qing Chen's figure became a beam of light in Boss He's eyes, and his eyes were full of smiles. A very bright light stretched out into the distance, stretching into a dim light line! Divine Cut! Divine Cut!
Qing Chen came to the Silver Duke's back at the limit distance, but even if the other party's hands and feet were broken, he was still magnificent
In a flash of lightning, Qing Chen had just arrived behind the other party, and before he had time to wave his sword, he was kicked out by the other party's aerial kick.
This kick was powerful, and he felt the pain in his chest and abdomen, and even the ribs reinforced by the dragon fish were broken in three places
The Knight Demi-God was too fierce!
However, Qing Chen was still flying backwards in the air, and the light flashed again!
Qing Chen in the air disappeared! Divine Cut, the second Divine Cut!
The light set out again, stretching out a dim light line spanning dozens of meters with the force of snow and thunder
The light passed from the Silver Duke's body and came to the Silver Duke's left front!
The Silver Duke only felt that his whole body was filled with a huge current, and the feeling of numbness made him tremble. Then, electric arcs burst out from his body, harming his limbs and bones. But, it was useless!
The mere A-Class, even if elementalized, was useless!
This level of electric arc was useless for the Knight Demi-God, who was known for his weak body!
The Silver Duke waved his intact left arm grimly, and he used his arm as a knife to chop down towards the end of the light line, where Qing Chen's landing point was!
Qing Chen appeared, but the Silver Duke's arm knife did not fall.
The young man seemed to have calculated what he would do. When he appeared, the blood-red long sword was already waiting on the inevitable path of the arm knife.
The Silver Duke retracted his hand and raised his leg, wanting to kick Qing Chen with a whip kick
But he suddenly saw that there was no expression on the face of the young man in front of him, and there was only a hesitant killing intent in his eyes again!
There was no one in front of the Silver Duke!
Qing Chen's three Divine Cuts before the Demi-God were the limit... but it was enough!
This second, he cut across from the Silver Duke's left front side and flashed to the other party's right rear side! Under the Silver Duke's weak combat consciousness, he immediately waved his right arm, but... this right hand had been cut off by He Jinqiu.
That was an opportunity that He Jinqiu created for Qing Chen at the cost of his life, the only opportunity.
In Qing Chen's three Divine Cuts, the first two were just preludes, and only this one was his true purpose
And only this time did he have a chance
In the process of this Divine Cut, Qing Chen's figure appeared from the thunder, and the flame pattern on his cheeks seemed to be swaying and burning, and the red long sword lightly crossed the Silver Duke's neck
Time seemed to stand still. Everything had begun He Jinqiu, I did it
Qing Chen's body entered a state of extreme exhaustion after three Divine Cuts, and his whole body uncontrollably rolled out under the huge inertia.
And on the other side
The Silver Duke's neck was actually cut off by this extreme speed, and at the same time, a drop of Qing Chen's tears was also cut off
In the process of the Divine Cut, the tear that overflowed from the corner of his eye was blown to the back of Qing Chen's head by the air current. When it encountered the edge of the red long sword, it was divided into two
With a thud, the Silver Duke's head landed on the ground.
Qing Chen endured the pain in his chest and abdomen and struggled to get up. When he looked back sadly, he saw He Jinqiu sitting cross-legged on the ground, lowering his head, with a satisfied smile on his lips.
He seemed to hear He Jinqiu say softly to himself, go, leave when you say go. Extraordinarily chic but this walk
The world will no longer have Boss He.
