Chapter 1068 Devastating Force, Blade Light Like a Prison

Upon closer inspection of the Wulin Monument, it was observed that the man's neck was covered in sweat, forming a large, wet patch.

At that moment, he truly understood what it meant to be 'sweating profusely'.

He felt extremely pleased and wanted nothing more than to grab the other man by the collar and demand, "Where did your arrogance go?"

That's right. The governor of Maijing Prefecture entrusted him with the authority to build the city. His eldest son, at the Human Sect realm, was able to unleash the power of the Earth Sect, including but not limited to defense, trapping beasts, or spatial manipulation.

As a father, he had done his best to anticipate the enemy's moves and had equipped his eldest son with ample resources.

But what no one expected was that Zhou Daqian's strength had exceeded the limit, and even the governor wouldn't have been able to defeat him originally.

Now, the legitimate son is in a predicament where he can't back down.

If Zhou You were outside the city, things would be fine. Unless he could cleave the city in two with his sword, he could defend the city and hold out until Governor Maijing of Zhou received the news and came to his aid.

But the eldest son, in his folly, set a trap to lure his opponent in, and the result was...

Zhou You stormed into the city, wielding his sword recklessly, invincible and completely unrestrained.

What about the legitimate son?
He was completely bound to the city beneath his feet and could not leave even for a moment. Otherwise, if Zhou You caught up with him and slashed him down, without the city's defenses, he would probably die on the spot.

"Quickly, kill him!"

The eldest son of the governor of Jingzhou gave the order.

Wu Linbei almost burst out laughing. What a terrible idea! Isn't this forcing his subordinates to their deaths? Just this alone will cause them to lose all popular support.

As expected, the expressions of the grandmasters instantly turned cold. One of them said, "Young master, you've asked us to fight to the death, so there has to be an explanation. Otherwise, we won't be happy to die!"

"What do you want to say?"

"We all have valid contracts on us. If we are lucky enough to survive today, please cancel them!"

Clearly, the Grandmaster guards present knew that war was dangerous and that the outcome of directly confronting the Half-Saint Yin Blade would not be good.

The eldest son gritted his teeth and said, "I agree!"

Brush brush!
The Grandmaster's actions were extraordinary; his speed far exceeded the speed of sound, and his physical body tore through the sound barrier as he surrounded the enemy from all directions.

They all knew the terrifying destructive power of the Half-Saint Yin Blade, so none of them launched a direct attack; instead, they all chose to outflank and encircle it.

Wu Linbei mingled among them, thinking his opportunity had arrived. Who would have thought that among a few 'ordinary' members of the imperial guards, there was actually a master-level demon ring slave?

Given his level of strength, if he were to use the secret technique of the Heart Demon Ring, he might actually kill Zhou Daqian by surprise.

Thinking of this, I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I saw the corners of Zhou Daqian's mouth turn up, as if he had heard a funny joke.

Zhou You never expected that one of his slave soldiers would be so ambitious as to try and take advantage of him.

The reason the other party was able to break through to the Grandmaster level was because of the ninth-grade medicine that he had given him.

Ok?
Faced with the combined attack of several members of the Human Sect, Zhou You suddenly felt enlightened, as if he could see a powerful enemy about to appear in the future.

"Half-Saint Yin Blade!"

Zhou You wielded his longsword and slashed down. The blade flashed like a wheel, spinning into a bright silver sphere, which then split into eight pieces like a melon.

These eight-lobed melons were actually condensed and compressed into a blade of light, one piece for each person, ensuring no one missed.

Just as Wu Linbei was preparing his killing move, he saw the blade flashing towards him, and his hair stood on end. Only then did he realize how terrifying the Yin Blade was.

In this situation, simply surviving is already a very optimistic possibility, let alone taking advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack and kill 'Zhou Daqian'.

The other grandmasters shared the same thought, but since they had come primarily to survive, they quickly switched to defense and evasion after the unexpected turn of events. *Pfft, pfft, swish, kuku!*
Dust rolled everywhere, and when it hit the buildings, it immediately caused bricks to crack and roof tiles to shatter.

The fierce winds raged from all directions, tearing apart the wine flags hanging in the streets, and making the thick starched cloth as fragile as paper.

The knife flashed like a silver melon splitting into eight pieces, each with its sharp point facing outwards, to entertain the guests.

Blood mist erupted from the dust as a grandmaster tumbled and rolled away in a sorry state. His knees were broken, but he forced the wounds shut, pushed off the ground with his hands, and burst through the city gates to escape.

He survived his injuries, though he lost both legs. He had fulfilled his promise and was now free.

What about the rest?
When the dust subsided slightly, a strange sight appeared: the air was filled with a mixture of mud and blood, stretched into a spiderweb-like pattern by the wind from the blades.

A grandmaster guard clutched his shoulder, the wound piercing through his shoulder bone and splitting open his chest, with only the skin and flesh at his waist connecting him, barely keeping his upper body from sliding down.

He was panting heavily, blood bubbles bubbling from his severed trachea.

There was also a grandmaster's personal guard who, at the critical moment, plunged his iron sword into his body, burying it deep beneath his flesh. The blade's light was blocked by the divine weapon as it pierced his body, saving him from the fate of being cut in two.

He chose to suffer a serious injury instead of a fatal one, making him one of the least injured people outside of the Martial Arts Monument.

What about the Martial Arts Monument?

He was panting heavily, his soft sword curled into a ring in his hand, blocking the blade at the last moment.

With just one-eighth of the blade's gleam, he was forced to tumble and roll back to the mortal realm from the brink of death.

At the critical moment of life and death, his mind was filled with the thought that "the light of the blade is like a prison, locking up all living beings."

The plan failed. The terrifying 'Zhou Daqian' was beyond his ability to calculate. If the true form of the Heart Demon Ring were to arrive, the outcome would be uncertain.

"Oh no, I might get myself into trouble now!"

Wu Linbei smiled bitterly, thinking that it was worth it to be able to be buried with the eldest son of the governor of Jingzhou.

He immediately shouted, "Spare me! The governor sent us! We have a grievance to settle!"

"I was just about to go find him!"

Zhou You sheathed his Yin Blade without even glancing at it, and went straight to find the eldest son of the governor of Maijing Prefecture.

The several grandmasters who were either dead or crippled beside the Martial Arts Monument breathed a sigh of relief. One of them whispered, "I'm grateful for your help. I was just about to scold you for being greedy for life and betraying your master, but now I realize that being alive is better than anything else."

"Yes, absolutely. If I don't talk about what happened just now, and he doesn't talk about it either, and no one spreads the word, you don't have this stain on your record."

Like the grandmaster who escaped with a broken leg earlier, they paid a heavy price but gained their freedom.

As for the eldest son of the governor of Maijing Prefecture...

Haha, he's definitely not going to make it.

Zhou You leaped onto the roof with his knife in hand. The walls around him flowed and changed like mechanical building blocks, constantly intersecting and rearranging themselves, making it impossible for him to pinpoint the location of the governor's eldest son.

The crushing defeat of the group of grandmaster guards terrified the eldest son, who was only concerned with hiding his whereabouts and dared not stand up to face Zhou You.

Outside the city, the elite guards were still fighting fiercely, but they also saw the Grandmasters being killed, wounded, and fleeing. The death aura on the side of the governor of Maijing Prefecture collapsed instantly and plummeted.

Screams and cries of agony continued to come from outside...

Zhou You's gaze was indifferent as he observed the spatial leap of the governor's eldest son, thinking to himself that this was far too clumsy.

An adult gives you a stick to hit people with force, but you use it to trip them up, as if you want everyone to know that your family is a "tiger father and dog son".
