Chapter 374: One Against A Thousand (3)

That was the case for Tejano!

Paramount existences are impressive. Some forbidden techniques left behind by them can allow planetary lifeforms to unearth greater potential, Xu Jingming thought.

His mind and consciousness were much stronger than Tejano’s, and his control over this fragile body was better when using forbidden techniques. Therefore, he didn’t have a ferocious expression like Tejano, whose veins became twisted. He could still maintain a relatively normal appearance, but his blood boiled, and his body emitted heat waves.

I have to stop using the forbidden technique in eight minutes; otherwise, this body will completely collapse. When that happens, I’ll have to establish a new account to enter Blood Rain World. Xu Jingming held his dual shields and charged out.

Xu Jingming’s dual shields could be said to be focused on defense, with him occasionally counterattacking as a way of baring his fangs.

Now, he was almost completely on the offensive.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The guards were sent flying and vomited blood.

Impossible. The surrounding guards felt that ever since the assassin unleashed a heatwave, the two shields had become much more terrifying. They could die from a brush or a touch! Their tight Saber Mountain Fire Sea Formation also couldn’t threaten Xu Jingming at all.

Xu Jingming felt the pressure from the military formation that had originally suffocated him reduce greatly. These guards were as weak as chicks.

My actual combat bonus was about 50× previously. My strength, speed, and agility have increased greatly after using the forbidden technique in the Primordial Star Conjecture. My strength has at least doubled! The actual combat bonus is probably 100×, Xu Jingming thought.

Of course, this is only a forbidden technique for planetary lifeforms! Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms have already energized their bodies, so this kind of forbidden technique is useless. But in Blood Rain World, forbidden techniques are very useful, Xu Jingming thought to himself.

His strength, speed, and agility were suppressed in every aspect. Coupled with his overwhelming advantage in actual combat techniques, Xu Jingming swept through dozens of people around him!

If they saw hope, the guards would definitely do their best to fight. However, this was simply tempting fate!

The guards were naturally terrified and in despair! They were also humans and had their own emotions.

This is a devil.

He can’t be stopped.

His shield techniques are terrifying!

Many guards had already lost their courage and didn’t dare to block him because those who dared to charge forward were already dead.

“This—” King Qi was stunned.

He originally wore a warm cloak and watched the assassin fight like a cornered beast under the protection of the guards. He was confident that… this assassin was doomed, but when the assassin suddenly unleashed his full strength, his strength reached an unimaginable level.

“Even the city lord of Nine Seals Ancient City and that old man from the Shengong family can’t be that strong, right?” King Qi found it unbelievable. “Dean Ming is dead. Is there anyone who can fight more than a thousand qualified experts alone?”

“Your Highness, run! Run!” Commander Gui’s voice jolted King Qi out of his fear.

“Yes, escape. I need to escape!” King Qi jolted.

“Protect me!” King Qi quickly fled.

Many guards immediately released their arrows, concealed weapons, and even short spears, using all kinds of methods to stop the terrifying assassin! However, Xu Jingming held his dual shields and was clearly much faster when using a forbidden technique.

Boom!

Wherever he passed, figures were sent flying! Anyone who dared to stop him and charge at him either ended up dead or injured!

Xu Jingming didn’t want to waste time on them and chased after King Qi as quickly as possible.

“What?” King Qi looked back and realized that his numerous guards couldn’t stop the assassin approaching him.

“Stop him! Stop him!” King Qi shouted anxiously as he ran.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After three consecutive waves of guards who attempted to stop the assailant were sent flying, leaving bodies strewn all around, the other guards didn’t dare to take any chances.

“This assassin is invincible.”

“There’s no way to block him at all.”

These guards watched helplessly as Xu Jingming charged over, and none of them helped King Qi.

“Save me!”

King Qi looked behind him, and the guards scattered in fear. As for the assassin wearing a bronze mask and holding two shields, he approached with a blurry afterimage.

“Who hired you? I’m willing to pay double the price—ten times the price!” King Qi stared at Xu Jingming in horror. “I’ll give you whatever you want!”

Whoosh.

With a gust of wind, Xu Jingming arrived in front of King Qi and smashed his terrifying shield over.

“No—” King Qi widened his eyes. He failed to draw his sword in front of the terrifying shield that contained Xu Jingming’s mind and will.

Crack!

Xu Jingming stood still and retracted his dual shields. The outer layer of the shields was covered in a layer of dark-red.

He looked at King Qi’s dismembered corpse. You’ll give me however much I want? Unfortunately, Blood Rain World won’t give it to me.

Whoosh. 

Xu Jingming had already disappeared.

It was still snowing heavily as it landed on King Qi’s corpse. Some guards approached and looked at the corpse.

“His Highness is dead.”

“What should we do?”

“Run! The emperor might vent his anger on us guards if a king is killed,” the guards muttered. According to the empire’s laws, they definitely had to bear the responsibility for the king’s death.

…

Fei Xinlan waited nervously, but she became even more uneasy when she heard the sounds of combat outside.

Finally, the fighting stopped.

Is Brother Jing alright? Or is it Brother Jing… All kinds of thoughts surfaced in Fei Xinlan’s mind as she panicked.

Suddenly—

Whoosh.

The door was pushed open, and Xu Jingming walked in with his holster on his back and spear in hand.

“Brother Jing.” Fei Xinlan was delighted.

“Come with me quickly.” Xu Jingming’s voice was a little hoarse. He was still injured after stopping the forbidden technique. Thankfully, he didn’t keep it up for long; otherwise, his entire body would have collapsed.

“Are you injured?” Fei Xinlan asked.

“I’m fine.” Xu Jingming grabbed Fei Xinlan and walked out of the building.

The snow outside was getting heavier, and King Qi’s residence was in chaos. Many places were on fire, and many guards fled after plundering some gold and silver.

Xu Jingming brought Fei Xinlan and used his psychic force to scout his path. Soon, they walked along a secluded path to the courtyard wall and leaped out of King Qi’s residence.
