Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 178 The Thousand-Year-Old Sword Emerges

Xu Shi's fingers flashed red as he untied Ji Jie's acupuncture points. He thought, "Ji Jie is seriously injured and will not escape too far. Once the poison is removed, it won't be too late to capture him."

Ji Jie had carefully planned this strategy for a long time. If he missed this opportunity, it would be too difficult to overthrow the Qin government in the future. If he could not avenge himself in this life, how could he be worthy of his ancestors? But seeing that Guantian and others were surrounded by heavy troops in the distance and were at a disadvantage, and with Xu Shi there, it would be difficult to kill Ying Zheng. He was unwilling to do so, so he picked up the long sword that fell to the ground, glared at Ying Zheng fiercely, hesitating.

Yu Sisi held back her tears and said softly, "My Lord, please leave!"

At this time, Wang Ben walked up to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, these evil remnants have been planning for a long time. If we don't get rid of them today, they will definitely cause trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Shi glanced at Wang Ben, but without revealing any emotion, he thought to himself, "What a great Wang Ben, he is clearly trying to take advantage of someone's misfortune!"

Ying Zheng also knew Wang Ben's intentions, but because Wang Ben had made outstanding achievements and most of the country was conquered by his father and son, it was difficult for him to get angry. He said in a deep voice: "With the national teacher here, these remnants are nothing to be afraid of!"

Wang Ben added: "The national teacher has supernatural powers in magic, his cultivation is unparalleled in the world, and his lifespan is as long as heaven. A mere snake venom can naturally be easily detoxified." The implication is that if the snake venom cannot be removed, how can one talk about immortality.

Xu Shi remained silent, but heard Ying Zheng say, "Don't worry, Taiwei. The Imperial Master has his own countermeasures!"

When Wang Ben heard Ying Zheng's refusal, he felt that it was useless to persuade him anymore. He looked at Meng Yi, hoping that he could say something, but he saw that Meng Yi was looking at Wuzhe in the distance and did not pay attention to his words. He knew that ever since the quarrel with him, Meng Yi had been holding a grudge against him and was on the same path as him, so he did not tell him the whole plan. How could he possibly help him if he asked him for help now? He shook his head and looked at the clouds on the western hills. Everything seemed indifferent at this moment.

Ji Jie knew that Yu Sisi would never tell Xu Shi which the antidote was, and that Xu Shi would kill her whether she handed over the antidote or not. Thinking that she was willing to die for him, he felt extremely guilty. He didn't know her feelings all these years. How could he talk about love affairs when he hadn't avenged himself? He owed her too much in this life, and it was impossible to repay her.

Ji Jie shook his head and said, "I won't leave. Sisi, you go. If there is no hope of revenge today, there is no point in living any longer."

Mayor Xu secretly thought that this was not good. If they were determined to die, they would definitely not tell him which antidote was. If this was the case, his entire arm would be crippled.

Yu Sisi knew that Ji Jie pitied her, and her heart was moved. Tears filled her eyes and she said, "My lord, this Ying Zheng is cruel and ruthless, and the princes of the world have the right to kill him. As long as you can save your life, you will have a chance to take revenge in the future. My lord, you don't have to worry about Sisi. It will never be so easy for this demon to kill me. My lord, retreat quickly!"

Ji Jie knew that the opportunity created by Yu Sisi was not easy to come by, so he had no choice but to leave here first and find his master as soon as possible before dealing with Xu Shi. He glared at Ying Zheng fiercely, turned around and walked towards the valley entrance. Seeing this, Guantian, Xiao Jinghong and others immediately rushed to Ji Jie, ready to retreat with him.

Xu Shi shouted: "Only Ji Jie is allowed to leave, and the rest of the traitors will not be left alive!"

Daoxuan and others were pressing behind, while Guantian and others fought and retreated, breaking out towards the valley entrance.

Yu Sisi said to Xu Shi: "If you want to get the antidote, release them all!"

Mayor Xu said, "I only agreed to release Ji Jie. Don't push your luck. Hand over the antidote quickly, or I'll order someone to kill him now!" He stepped forward and grabbed Yu Sisi's neck.

Yu Sisi was not afraid of danger and said with a smile: "I will tell you about this evil way."

Mayor Xu loosened his hands, took out three jade bottles and said, "Tell me quickly, which one is the antidote?"

Yu Sisi giggled and said, "These three are antidotes, just take one!"

Xu Shi waved his sleeves and threw Yu Sisi several feet away. He stepped forward and asked sternly, "Will you tell me or not?"

Yu Sisi sat limply on the ground, took a breath, and sneered: "You demon, I've told you everything, but you don't believe it, then there's nothing I can do."

Xu Shi said coldly: "Okay, since you won't tell me, I will have to kill him!" Then he ordered people to intercept Ji Jie.

At this moment, a silver light more than ten feet long descended from the sky, blocking the rushing crowd. Daoxuan and others suddenly felt that the power of the sword was too strong and hurriedly flew backwards.

"Bang..." Gravel flew everywhere, and hundreds of people around were blown away by the strong wind, rolling and crawling back more than ten feet. When they looked again, they saw that the ground had cracked into a crack that was ten feet wide and more than ten feet long.

I saw a white-haired old man, leaning on a giant sword with a silver dragon pattern, standing beside Ji Jie, his Taoist robe fluttering in the wind.

"Master!" Ji Jie shouted in surprise.

Zhishui said: "It's up to me now!" Guantian, Xiao Jinghong and others took the opportunity to jump behind Zhishui.

Xu Shi stepped forward, looked at the huge sword that Zhishui was holding, and said in a deep voice: "Xuanyuan Emperor Sword!"

Shisui stroked his silver beard and laughed, "I didn't expect you to know this sword."

"The Nine-Sky Mysterious Lady took the iron from the meteorite of the Emperor Star and mixed it with the blood of the Azure Dragon to forge it, and gave it to Emperor Xuanyuan. The hilt of the sword is engraved with the way to rule the world, and the blade is engraved with mountains and rivers. It can slay immortals and eliminate demons, cut mountains and cut rivers, and has infinite power. With this sword, Emperor Xuanyuan defeated the Demon Emperor Chi You and unified China. It is the sword of the Holy Way. In later generations, it was obtained by Shang Tang, who used it to destroy the Xia Dynasty. After that, no one knew where it went. I didn't expect it to fall into your hands. I guess it was given to you by the Emperor Zhou before his death." Everyone was amazed when they heard Xu Shi's introduction of the origin of this sword, and they looked closely at this thousand-year-old sword. After Wuzhan took Xu Shi's elixir, his blood flowed a lot. Although he was unconscious, he still knew a little about what happened on the battlefield. When he heard "Nine-Sky Mysterious Lady", his heart moved, as if he had heard this name in a legend. He opened his eyes and looked at the ancient sword in Shishui's hand.

Shisui said contemptuously: "Since you know this sword, you should obey Benzhen's orders and destroy the tyrannical Qin in front of you!"

Xu Shi smiled slightly and said, "The sword is indeed a good sword, but you, a rebel who has betrayed your master, are not qualified to give orders. You came just in time. I just happened to receive this sword today."

"How shameless of you to say that. Don't think that you can survive this night just because you escaped."

"Haha, I'm really curious. I want to see what kind of formation you set up for me. It's a pity that you guys worked in vain."

Shisui smiled and said, "It's not like we got nothing. At least those people you sent were turned into bones. Look at how many people are left in your Xiandao Academy. You, the national master, are really smart. You didn't dare to go yourself, but sent them to be scapegoats."

Daoxuan and the others changed color when they heard that. Those people's cultivation was not weak, and their strength was comparable to Qingyang. What kind of formation could have killed them all? They were secretly glad that they were not sent by Xu Shi to chase the thief.

"You are misleading people with your lies. How can you possibly trap them with the formation you set up? Stop talking nonsense. Today, I will kill you, the traitor who killed my master and usurped the throne, on behalf of Master Yunmeng."

When everyone heard this, they remembered that Shishui was the rebel of Huangshan more than 30 years ago. It was said that this person had a very high level of comprehension, and had entered the realm of a wandering immortal before he was 30 years old. His cultivation was the most outstanding among his peers, and he should have been the best candidate for the next leader. Unexpectedly, his master Lingsong Zhenren passed the position of leader to Shishui's senior brother Yunmeng because Shishui liked to take shortcuts in his practice and was too worldly-minded. Shishui was secretly dissatisfied that he did not get the position of leader, so he attacked Lingsong and put the blame on Yunmeng. Fortunately, Lingsong took his last breath and told the truth. The disciples of Huangshan besieged Shishui and his supporters, and suffered heavy casualties. There were only a few left. Finally, Yunmeng used the single sword technique passed down by the leader of Huangshan to knock Shishui off a cliff. This inner sect fight in Huangshan shocked the world. Everyone thought that this person was dead, but they did not expect that he was actually alive and became Ji Jie's master, attempting to restore the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Zhishui said: "Okay, let Benzhen see how many of my moves you can block!" He picked up the giant sword and pointed it at Xu Shi.

At this moment, Xu Shi's ears twitched slightly, and he suddenly rushed towards Yu Sisi, reaching out to grab the flower snake hidden in her hand.

Mayor Xu was always paying attention to Yu Sisi's actions. He noticed that she took out the flower snake and was sucking its blood. He suddenly realized that what Yu Sisi had taken before was not the antidote, but the real antidote was the flower snake's blood.

What Yu Sisi had taken before was indeed not an antidote but a blood-transforming pill. She was now deeply poisoned and her whole body was stiff. If she did not detoxify, she would surely die. She wanted to exchange her own life for Xu Shi's, but when she saw Zhishui coming, she gave up the idea. While Xu Shi was not paying attention, she secretly pinched off the snake's head and sucked the plasma. Unexpectedly, she was discovered by Xu Shi. When she saw Xu Shi rushing towards her, she wanted to destroy the snake's body but she had no strength left. She could only suck a mouthful of blood and swallow it into her stomach.

When Zhishui saw Xu Shi turning around and rushing back, he immediately understood what he was going to do. He swung his sword and a silver light shot out, piercing towards Xu Shi's back, but due to the distance, Xu Shi still got there first.

Xu Shi snatched the body of the flower snake, turned around, and threw Yu Sisi towards the sword light that broke through the air. Seeing this, Zhishui hurriedly put away his sword, caught Yu Sisi with one hand, and pushed her to Ji Jie behind him.

Ji Jie leaped up and caught Yu Sisi in mid-air, landing steadily. Looking at the lovely girl in his arms, he felt happy and distressed. He only heard Yu Sisi say weakly, "It's all my fault. I failed to poison him to death."

Ji Jie said: "One hundred of his lives cannot bring back your life. If this is accomplished today, you will be the queen of my Great Zhou!"

Yu Sisi forced a smile: "Sisi doesn't want a queen, just want to be by the master's side and serve him."

Although the voices of the two were not loud, they reached Miaoxin's ears. Her bright eyes moved slightly and she glanced at Wuzhan beside her. She saw that he was calmly watching the unprecedented battle between the two people on the field. Thousands of thoughts surged into her mind.

……

After Xu Shi got the snake's body, he knew that there was not much blood left. In desperation, he swallowed the whole snake's body in a few mouthfuls, which was quite disgusting. He stepped on the ground and flew away to avoid the sword light that was struck by lightning. "Boom..." A crack more than ten meters long appeared on the ground again, and a strong wind blew.

When Zhishui saw Xu Shi dodged, he swung his giant sword, like a galaxy falling from the sky, and streams of swords rushed towards Xu Shi.

Xu Shi did not dare to delay. His figure flashed rapidly. While dodging the flying sword light, he circulated the energy and blood in his body to the meridians in his left hand.

Silver light burst out continuously, and strong winds exploded layer by layer, with endless roars, like a huge blooming peony. All the people retreated hundreds of feet to watch the battle, but even so, the strong winds still cut through their faces.

Daoxuan and the others were secretly amazed, this sword alone was already at the peak of the immortal level, and when combined with the ancient sword, its power was immeasurable.

As for Xu Shi's strength, no one has ever seen him take action before. Judging from the fact that he defeated Fen Yuan with one move, it is obvious that his cultivation has broken through the bottleneck of the Loose Immortal and reached a realm that is beyond the reach of others. I wonder if he can defeat Shishui after being poisoned.

In the midst of the majestic sword light, Shisui shouted: "You, the national master, can only dodge blindly. Do you dare to resist Benzhen's sword!"

"Boom..." The sword light that was more than ten feet long suddenly stopped in the air, and the true energy poured out and shook it apart. The light was dazzling and deafening.

Xu Shi's right palm showed a red Tai Chi seal with a diameter of more than ten feet, which was pressed against the giant sword. He said sternly: "How difficult is this? Your cultivation is not enough, how can you control this sword!"
