Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

Since a direct confrontation is not an option, perhaps we should seek other strategies to defeat our opponents.

"Since a protracted war is unwinnable, let's try a different approach!"

Gai Nie took a deep breath and adjusted his state.

Then, he stepped forward and announced, "Activate the Ghost Valley Eight Gates Formation - Qimen Dunjia!"

As he took that step, Gai Nie's figure began to undergo strange changes.

Originally, there was only one shadow, but now it instantly multiplied into eight afterimages, each approaching Lin Qi from a different direction.

"The Eight Gates Formation of Guiguzi?"

Lynch noticed these changes, and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"Eight figures attacking from different directions is indeed creative."

"But this method... doesn't bother me!"

After talking to himself, Lynch's eyes suddenly lit up.

Then, the Fire Kirin Sword in his hand accurately locked onto one of the clones and quickly attacked.

Whoosh!

A massive sword beam, approximately forty to fifty meters long, appeared and flew out with a whooshing sound.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, a deafening sound rang out.

Soon, the figure that had been blasted out slowly revealed itself—it was Gai Nie.

Before he could even get close enough to Lin Qi to launch an encirclement attack, his true identity was easily revealed by the other party.

About 200 meters away.

Gai Nie steadied himself, his expression remaining calm and composed.

Although his attack was swiftly countered by Lynch, he was not surprised.

This operation was more like a test of the other side's capabilities.

This test proved Lynch's powerful perception; it would be extremely difficult to confuse and defeat him.

The disadvantage of the clash of true qi and the failure of attempts to confuse him made Gai Nie give up the idea of ​​using similar tactics.

He flicked the Yuanhong Sword in his hand, and it flashed with a cold light.

"Then let's go all out and overwhelm them with force!"

Gai Nie's eyes were cold, and an even stronger aura surged forth.

All attacks prior to this can be considered preliminary attempts.

What follows will be a decisive battle, a battle that will determine life or death.

Then, Gai Nie swung his longsword and unleashed the Guigu Sword Technique.

"A rainbow piercing the sun!"

This is one of the powerful moves in the Guigu Swordplay.

Although its power may not be as great as the 'Hundred Steps Flying Sword', it has reached the peak level of the fourth level of the Celestial Realm.

Swish!

Immediately afterwards, Gai Nie's body rushed forward with great speed.

Holding the Yuanhong Sword, he streaked across the space like a rainbow, rushing straight towards her.

The dazzling light emitted by the moves made those who watched feel uncomfortable.

Across from him, Lin Qi raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw this scene.

He did not underestimate his opponent, activating his indestructible golden body, which was enveloped in light.

At the same time, it strengthens the body's internal power.

With a swing of the Fire Scale Sword in his hand, he unleashed his strongest strike!

This move had defeated Wei Zhuang before, and now it was used again, instantly turning a distance of hundreds of meters into zero distance.

The two martial artists' moves collided violently.

In the blink of an eye.

Wow!

Gai Nie's body was immediately pushed backward by the powerful force.

"Cough! Cough!" He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, indicating that he had been injured.

After sliding several hundred meters, Gai Nie adjusted his posture and slowly landed on the ground.

At this moment, a few drops of blood seeped from the corner of Gai Nie's mouth, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

These are just minor injuries, nothing serious.

Lin Qi, who had just clashed with him head-on, also retreated more than a hundred steps, and then, with a "poof," Lin Qi spat out a mouthful of blood.

After this collision, he only suffered minor injuries.

The energy surging within his body was no longer smooth and gradually became chaotic, and none of this escaped Gai Nie's eyes.

Seeing this, Gai Nie felt a little relieved, and his fighting spirit rose again.

If Lin Qi emerges unscathed from this contest, then I'm not so sure I can use my most powerful sword techniques next.

However, it now appears that Lin Qi was also injured, although his injuries did not seem to be as serious as Lin Qi's.

But at least Gai Nie saw hope of defeating his opponent! And in the distance,

Upon seeing this scene, Yao Jia frowned slightly.

"How did Lynch get injured too?"

“When we defeated Wei Zhuang last time, even though Wei Zhuang’s strongest attack had reached the peak of the fourth level of the Celestial Realm.”

"Lin Qi withstood it with ease, completely unaffected?"

The battle between Lin Qi and Wei Zhuang ultimately resulted in Wei Zhuang's death.

As for whether Lin Qi was harmed during that process, and to what extent, outsiders have no way of knowing.

But when Yao Jia spoke with Lin Qi yesterday, the latter stated unequivocally that he was completely unharmed!

"Could it be...?"

Yao Jia's eyes suddenly lit up as he quickly scanned the dense woods around him.

"That was truly a stroke of genius!"

After regaining his senses, he immediately understood.

The surrounding area is vast and covered by dense forests, making it ideal for concealing one's movements!

Although Yao Jia could sense changes in the environment within a radius of 500 meters, in the face of these numerous obstacles, it would be almost impossible to detect the enemy once they concealed their presence and aura.

So far, he hasn't found a single one.

"Both brave and resourceful, he almost completely controlled the situation!" "Lynch is truly terrifying!"

Yao Jia unconsciously swallowed, his body trembling slightly from the shock he felt.

Fortunately, Lin Qi was his accomplice; otherwise, he would have been terrified if he had faced such an opponent!

And on the other side,

Gai Nie rallied and took a step forward.

With a gentle swing of the Yuanhong Sword in his hand, a crisp sound rang out, and the tip of the sword gleamed with a cold light.

"Lynch, are you ready?"

"In this final round, regardless of victory or defeat, we will give it our all!"

Lin Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly nodded: "I'm very curious to see just how powerful the Hundred Steps Flying Sword really is!"

"Just what I want!"

Having said that, Gai Nie's figure blurred, and he rushed forward.

After a few quick movements, he was already soaring through the air.

The longsword seemed to fly out of his hand, and he himself leaped forward, creating a posture where man and sword became one.

"Hundred Steps Flying Sword!"

In the sky, a giant white dragon, about 100 meters long, rapidly materialized, and a thunderous roar came from its enormous mouth.

"Ow!"

With this roar and countless sword beams shooting out, the attack swiftly struck the target.

This is one of the most powerful and deadly sword techniques from the Guigu School.

A single, instantaneous strike could be fatal; it was called the Hundred-Step Flying Sword! "A truly excellent choice!"

Lynch's eyes suddenly sharpened, radiating a startlingly keen light.

At the same time, his body was also moving forward at high speed.

With the Fire Kirin Sword in his hand, he unleashed the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

"The Thirteenth Form!"

Nothing flashy or impractical like the white dragon appeared; only a pure and sharp sword aura slashed forward along with him.

The speed reached its limit, and it arrived at the opponent's position almost instantly!

The two forces collided violently.

"boom!"

The point of impact instantly produced a huge burst of light that shot into the sky, while a powerful shockwave expanded instantly.

"Bang, bang, bang..." "Boom, boom, boom..."

A series of loud, cracking sounds rang out from all around, the soil on the ground kept bursting open, and the trees nearby made snapping noises.

Fallen leaves filled the sky, and dust filled the air, completely obscuring the view of everything around.

Especially at the point where the two met,

That area appeared to have suffered a devastating blow.

A deep cave appeared, and within a radius of several meters, there was not a single intact scene to be found.

Everything was shredded into countless fragments by the violent sword energy.

as time flows,

Gradually, everything around returned to calm.

 Rewritten paragraph

Chapter 81: The Center Collision, the Battle Situation Becomes Clear.

Gai Nie collapsed heavily to the ground, blood gushing from his body.

The Yuanhong Sword in his hand fell to the side and broke into two pieces.

"I lost!" He uttered these three words with difficulty through trembling, bloodied lips, his vision gradually blurring and his consciousness fading away.

Finally, he closed his eyes, and his life force completely disappeared.

Sword Saint Gai Nie has fallen!

---

With Gai Nie's downfall, Lin Qi's situation is also far from optimistic.

At least, that's how it appears on the surface.

Although Lynch was still standing, his body was soaked in crimson blood.

Especially on his chest, there was a sword wound more than 30 centimeters long, with blood flowing freely, completely staining his shirt red.

Drops of blood fell, making a sound as they hit the ground.

The blood spilling from the corner of his mouth made his face look extremely pale, and his breathing was somewhat weak.

With the Fire Kirin Sword stuck in the ground, Lin Qi held the hilt with his right hand, panting heavily, his breathing rapid, clearly exhausted.

"Shh!"

Just then, a sound came from afar, followed by a voice: "Lin Qi, are you alright?"

The newcomer was none other than Yao Jia, who had been watching the battle from a distance.

Seeing that the battle was over, he immediately rushed to Lin Qi's side, full of concern and worry.

"I'm fine, I won!" Lin Qi smiled slightly, forcing back the pain as he spoke.

His and Yao Jia's eyes met in mid-air, and they exchanged a subtle glance, which was fleeting and went unnoticed by others.

Yao Jia reached out and helped Lin Qi up: "Your injuries are serious. I'll take you somewhere to rest for the night and recover."

"Let's set off again early tomorrow morning and slowly return to Xianyang City." Lin Qi shook his head and said in a firmer voice, "Commander, no need."

“I have a century-old Ganoderma lucidum bestowed upon me by His Majesty, which can be used to heal my injuries.” As he spoke, Lin Qi took out a Ganoderma lucidum from his robe with his left hand. It was the elixir that Ying Zheng had previously bestowed upon him—a century-old Ganoderma lucidum, which could effectively restore severe injuries.

"A century-old Ganoderma lucidum?" Yao Jia's eyes lit up, and he immediately said.

"You really have a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum on you? That's wonderful."

"With this, you've used the century-old Ganoderma lucidum, you'll recover soon." "Quick, let's find a place to heal!"

As Yao Jia prepared to help Lin Qi leave, a "whoosh" sound came from afar, followed by a cold voice saying, "I think it's best not to use such a precious elixir! Anyway, you're all doomed!"

A glint flashed in the eyes of both Lin Qi and Yao Jia. Their previous disguise had not been in vain; they had finally drawn out the hidden enemy.
