Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Will the next punch kill me?

Xie Xiaoyi's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Then I'll strike first!"

He gripped the Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword tightly in one hand, his body suddenly leaping into the air to break free, and in mid-air, he abruptly channeled his inner energy—

A Qilin aura armor burst forth from his body, and a giant Qilin forged from sword energy crashed into Qin Huaiyu's Heavenly Gang Dharma Image!

Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu's eyes were full of disdain, and he sneered, "The light of a firefly dares to compete with the sun and moon?"

Without dodging or avoiding, he roared to the sky and stepped out of his Heavenly Gang Dharma Form, stomping on the head of the sword-qi qilin.

"Smash it!" He stomped his foot hard.

bang——

With a loud bang, the sword-qi Qilin completely disintegrated.

The Heavenly Gang Dharma Image was like crushing a stray dog ​​blocking its way; its sword energy shattered into pieces and dissipated into the air.

The shockwaves generated by the two immense forces rippled back and forth in the surrounding area.

The trees were uprooted, their trunks snapped in half, and the earth was left scarred and devastated.

Over here, Qin Zhong had finished meditating and regulating his breathing, suppressing the disordered qi and blood in his body. He had already figured out the trick from that last move.

The godfather has used the ultimate move of the Heavenly Gang Child Skill - Law of Heaven and Earth!

However, this move consumes a lot of vital energy and probably cannot be sustained for long; a quick victory is needed!

And Qin Huaiyu thought so too.

He looked down at Xie Xiaoyi: "Is this all the skill you've got? You dare to be so insolent in front of us? Take my final punch!"

After saying this, the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image changed from transparent to silvery-white.

Qin Huaiyu sealed off all of Xie Xiaoyi's escape routes, poured all his strength into his final punch, and unleashed it with overwhelming force!

Xie Xiaoyi knew that he couldn't possibly withstand that punch.

In that life-or-death moment, an image of the raging waves of the East China Sea flashed through his mind!

The sword intent forged in the raging waves suddenly awakened at this moment!

He suddenly threw the heavy sword into the air, his body following closely behind the sword as he leaped into the air, gripping the sword with both hands, and pouring all his true energy into the Heaven-Opening Technique.

With a long whistle, he uttered a clear and resonant cry:

I will brave the raging waves.

The Heavenly Divine Form can be cut down with a single sword.

I will never fail the sword in my hand in this life.

"How dare I make Heaven avoid me!"

Boom!

In an instant, a pitch-black sword shadow, even larger than the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image, appeared in mid-air, and with the force of splitting the heavens and earth and breaking the waves of a raging sea, it slashed down with a bang!

Qin Huaiyu's expression changed drastically, and he thought to himself, "Such strong sword intent, such domineering sword energy!"

This is almost identical to the Earth Immortal sword strike Xie Lingyun unleashed at the foot of Fuyu Mountain in the East Sea!

Having suffered a loss from that Earth Immortal's sword strike before, Qin Huaiyu dared not underestimate him in the slightest, and slammed his hands together—"Crack!"

The Heavenly Gang Dharma Image also clapped its hands together, using the posture of empty hands to catch a blade, forcefully clamping the Heaven-Opening Sword!

Snapped--! ! !

The Dharma Image's giant palms clasped together, forcefully trapping the Heaven-Opening Sword Shadow in mid-air, resulting in a stalemate where neither side could gain the upper hand!

Xie Xiaoyi unleashed his full power to slash downwards, the sword shadow pressing down wildly, like splitting a river and cutting off waves.

Qin Huaiyu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, persisting desperately until he was completely exhausted.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a long time, waiting to see who would exhaust themselves first.

Suddenly, with a loud "crack", the dark sword shadow split open with hideous lines.

Before Qin Huaiyu could even rejoice, a crack appeared on the silver-white body of the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image.

Two forces clashed, collided, and shattered...

Bang--!!

Ripples were created by the air currents in mid-air.

The sword shadow and the magic shattered simultaneously, and the qi and sword qi clashed back and forth. Before long, both of them were exhausted.

Xie Xiaoyi plummeted from mid-air, leaning on the Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword, his knee slamming heavily onto the ground—

With a "bang," the ground was cracked like a spiderweb as his knee struck the tip of the Heaven-Opening Sword.

He was panting heavily, his back covered in sweat.

Then look at Qin Huaiyu, who fell straight down from mid-air and fainted on the spot.

Judging from their condition alone, the outcome is already decided!

Qin Zhong's face was extremely grim. He leaped forward, grabbed his godfather, and touched him with his finger—the man was half-cold.

Godfather... lost.

His eyes were bloodshot and he was furious!

However, his meridians were damaged by Xie Xiaoyi's tortoise spirit armor earlier, and he was unable to gather his strength at the moment, let alone take revenge.

It's true that I have the will but not the ability.

Kuang Tie dragged his broken arm, gritting his teeth in hatred.

He knew that Xie Xiaoyi and Qin Huaiyu were fighting to the death, and this was a good opportunity to capture him.

With a cold snort, he commanded, "All soldiers, listen to my order! This man is no longer fit to fight. Attack! Kill him!"

At a single command, ten thousand armored soldiers surged forward, their battle cries shaking the heavens!

However, the official road was narrow, and at most a hundred or so people could rush forward at a time. Among the tens of thousands of soldiers, only a hundred-man team could be squeezed out to rush towards Xie Xiaoyi.

Xie Xiaoyi glanced at it and spat out disdainfully: "So you're just trying to bully the weak by having more people than you can beat, huh?"

Anyway, I've already won, I don't have time to waste with you guys!

As he spoke,

He tossed the Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword into the air, touched the ground with his toes, and leaped onto the sword, riding it into the air!

Does he still have the strength to fly on a sword?

Suppressing his shock, Kuang Tie roared, "Release the arrows! Shoot them down!"

shhhhh--

More than a thousand arrows shot out instantly, densely packed into the air.

Xie Xiaoyi drifted through the air, turned on his sword, and disappeared into the distance without looking back!

Kuang Tie and Qin Zhong watched the departing black figure, trembling with anger, yet utterly helpless.

......

Several days later, in Linjiang City, Jiangnan, on Qingfeng Street, at the Martial Alliance Tavern.

This tavern was personally opened by Gu Santong, the leader of the Jiangnan Martial Alliance.

Gu Santong was known for his generosity and chivalry throughout his life, and this tavern was a place he left for people from all walks of life to stay.

The rules were extremely lenient: if you had money, you could pay; if you were short of money, you could buy on credit, and no one would ever chase after you or mock you.

This is why it has become the most popular gathering place for people from all walks of life in Jiangnan.

People from all walks of life, from the righteous to the evil, from wandering cultivators to martial arts masters, and from sect disciples, would almost always stop by Linjiang City to rest.

After meals, news gathers here, and secrets circulate here.

From rankings of martial arts masters to gossip and scandals in the martial arts world, there's nothing you won't hear once you sit down in this tavern.

The hall was bustling with noise as martial arts heroes clinked glasses, spittle flying as they discussed the recent world-shaking events.

A burly man with a long sword at his waist slammed his hand on the table and shouted in a deafening voice, "Have you heard?!"

Xie Mo, ranked tenth on the Hidden Dragon List, directly confronted Qin Huaiyu, one of the top ten martial arts masters in the world, on the official road!

"It's more than just a head-on collision!"

An old Taoist priest at the next table stroked his beard and exclaimed, "That Qin Huaiyu even used the Law of Heaven and Earth, and what was the result?"

His Heavenly Divine Form was shattered by Xie Mo's sword, and he was knocked unconscious on the spot. One of the world's top ten masters was defeated just like that!

"My goodness... I heard that everyone on the Hidden Dragon Ranking is under thirty years old, so how old can Xie Mo be?"

Just as everyone was marveling at this, a storyteller in a corner of the tavern suddenly chuckled:

"Gentlemen, you only know one side of the story, not the other."

Everyone immediately turned to look at him: "Please speak, sir, we are all eager to hear you!"

The storyteller said slowly and deliberately, "Xie Mo's real name is Xie Xiaoyi."

He's only eighteen or nineteen years old this year, truly a once-in-a-century genius. You all should have heard of Xie Xiaoyi, right?
