The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4381 The Cruel Reality

The Mirror-Broken Sword Qi entered the empty space and instantly pierced through Shadow Wei's body, spurting out countless streams of blood.

Qin Yun and Shadow Wei fought for only a few moments before Shadow Wei was defeated. In the face of absolute suppression of strength, even if his Shapeshifting Technique was mysterious and unfathomable, he was unable to compete with it.

This scene deeply shocked the hearts of everyone in Qingshan Sect, and also Gao Heliang who was in deep fear.

Qin Yun walked slowly forward to Shadow Wei, who was lying in a pool of blood, and said in a deep voice, "You talk too much. You deserve to die."

Most of Shadow's consciousness dissipated, and the dark purple light above the token weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Qin Yun saw through all the secret aura skills that he was proud of, the countless shadow substitutes that resisted the attacks, etc. The outcome of this battle was decided when he dared to stand up and face Qin Yun.

“Heh.” Shadow Wei spat out blood and snorted coldly: “I underestimated you. I should have attacked you by surprise to weaken your strength before exposing your true identity. I didn’t keep my composure, fearing that you would reveal the truth. I was defeated by this bunch of Qingshan Sect trash!”

Qin Yun leaned over and took off the token from Shadow Wei's waist. He said indifferently, "You are about to die. Do you have any last words? Tell me."

Looking at Qin Yun through the corner of his eye, his calmness, as if he had just killed an ant while passing by, made Shadow Wei feel humiliated. Although he was sent to guard the sect, he was the second-ranked one among the powerful. His self-esteem was completely crushed by Qin Yun's indifference.

Having the token taken away is equivalent to being sentenced to death in Lingkong Sect. Not everyone has the good luck like Shadow Knight.

Shadow Wei said indignantly: "No wonder he was able to injure the most elusive Shadow Cavalry in Lingkong Sect. Qin Yun, I really underestimated you. If you give me another chance, I may not lose to you! It's a pity that I failed to live up to the arrangement of Shadow Cavalry and let you seize the Qingshan Sect's position."

Qin Yun looked at the token in his hand with great interest. Upon hearing this, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and asked with a little curiosity: "You said that it was the Shadow Cavalry who asked you to garrison Qingshan Sect?"

Shadow Wei didn't notice anything was wrong and said nonchalantly: "So what if it is, so what if it isn't, you can kill me or chop me up as you like!"

Things seemed to be getting interesting. Based on Qin Yun's analysis of the two tokens, Shadow Wei's status in Lingkong Sect must be higher than Shadow Cavalry, so why would he listen to his arrangements?

Moreover, how could the Shadow Cavalry, who had seen Qin Yun's strength and was so familiar with the Huafutianqing Mountains, be so stupid as to let Shadow Wei guard the Qingshan Sect's important location alone, unless... he wanted the other party to die.

Qin Yun suddenly laughed and said in a deep voice: "It seems that there is no human warmth and coldness in Lingkong Sect, and there is only intrigue and deception."

Hearing this, Shadow Wei was confused: "What do you mean, Qin Yun? I admit that I lost to you. You can kill me or chop me up as you like! But I will never allow you to slander the Lingkong Sect like this!"

"Slander?" Qin Yun shook his head. "I don't care to slander you. You should think carefully before you die. Is the purpose of the Shadow Cavalry sending you here to guard Qingshan Sect or to die?"

After he finished speaking, Qin Yun no longer paid attention to Shadow Wei, allowing his consciousness to slowly dissipate.

On his deathbed, Shadow Wei also quickly understood this truth. Shadow Cavalry had fought with Qin Yun before, so how could he not know the other party's strength? The Qingshan Sect was located in the heart of the Huafutianqing Mountains, and the Lingkong Sect knew its importance, so how could Qin Yun not think of it.

The anger of betrayal made Shadow Wei use the last bit of his consciousness to crawl into the weak dark purple vortex void.

Qin Yun knew that Shadow Wei still had some life force left, but he didn't take it to heart. Rather than letting him die so easily, it would be better to let him go and settle accounts with Shadow Cavalry.

As the battle ended, Gao Heliang and the Qingshan Sect disciples gathered around Qin Yun. The disciples knelt down and bowed their heads, worshipping Qin Yun as the new god.

Gao Heliang did not move, but stood straight in front of Qin Yun. He simply bowed and expressed his doubts: "Qin Yun, what is my value? You saved my life and the lives of Qingshan Sect disciples. If you can show me a way forward, I will definitely cooperate with you to repay you for saving my life."

Qin Yun looked around at everyone and was silent for a moment.

It is a bit far-fetched to say that he saved Qingshan Sect. Originally, Shadow Wei would not do anything to Qingshan Sect. Instead, he came to protect them from harm.

But now that things have come to this, there is no reason not to accept the favor.

Soon, Qin Yun also gave the same answer as Shadow Wei: "When you become the leader of Qingshan Sect, I will naturally tell you the answer. Now is not the right time, and you don't have to worry about the enemy invading. The Great Xia Empire will temporarily protect Qingshan Sect and prevent it from being harmed." Everyone was grateful to Qin Yun, and they were still thinking that he had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He said that he didn't care about the life and death of Qingshan Sect, but he offered to protect them. He was much better than those so-called gods who needed to sacrifice the blood of living people in exchange for peace.

But ideals are full and reality is cruel.

Qin Yun was guarding the Qingshan Sect's position, using the terrain to fight against the Lingkong Sect, rather than this group of fools who believed in gods.

Releasing Shadow Dimension now would already be an act of alerting the enemy. The generals of Daxia no longer need to move forward slowly, but just need to be more careful. Qin Yun will be at the top of Qingshan Sect, keeping a close eye on the disciples of Lingkong Sect who are hiding secrets in the mountains.

Qin Yun immediately ordered all the generals to speed up the advance and assemble at Qingshan Sect as soon as possible.

At the same time, despite the snail-like pace of the Great Xia generals, they also encountered considerable obstacles.

Zhou Tianyi held the Hunyuan Pearl Immortal Formation and cooperated with the Heavenly Army in the front to clear out the Lingkong Sect disciples hiding in the dark. Wherever the formation went, the Lingkong Sect disciples had to give up hiding and instead expose their aura and move their positions. The Heavenly Army would then rush forward and kill them at close range.

In contrast, Xiao Jian and Chen Qianzhi's Suzaku Army were not so lucky.

As the soldiers advanced, arrows were shot from all directions. Even if they were prepared and could easily avoid the attacks, the enemy would move from one place to another after each shot, making it impossible to catch the person hiding the secret.

After a few rounds, Xiao Jian suddenly lost his temper. He let the Suzaku Army attract the firepower while he advanced alone and killed the enemy by surprise. The effect was remarkable, but after an hour, they were still lingering at the foot of the mountain.

On the other side, Dongfang Tianxiang and Tang Jinzhong were in the same situation. They were unable to advance and lingered at the foot of the mountain.

In other words, Xuanyuan Shenmeng was smart. She followed Zhou Tianyi's example and used the formation as a test to coordinate with Mu Le's White Tiger Army to advance. However, her formation was not as good as Zhou Tianyi's, and was only slightly faster than the others.

All of this was solved after Qin Yun took over the Qingshan Sect's position.

Qin Yun was seen standing on the Flower-covered Sky-Blue Mountains, commanding the generals below in a loud voice. The disciples of the Kongling Sect who were hiding the secrets could only take care of the beginning and not the end, and were like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
