Chapter 2341 - 111: Magic Sword (Part 2)

Xiangzi walked past him, at the same time pulling the crossbow from his back, raising it as if he had mastered it for tens of years, skillfully stringing it with one hand, aiming, firing an arrow, and a mercenary fell to the ground as expected. He didn't kill anyone; the arrow pierced the mercenary's thigh, causing him to fall down howling.

A gust of wind came from behind, Xiangzi threw the crossbow in that direction, and a mercenary slashed it open with a sword. Xiangzi simultaneously spun around, his speed seemingly much faster than before, and he extended his left hand wearing the Magic Guided Gloves toward his opponent, "Stop."

The person immediately froze, and with another push, he flew sideways, knocking down three or four people in that direction.

Xiangzi felt himself accelerate once more, like a perceptive instinct, and then countered with a sword that severed the wrist of an assailant sneaking up on him, who screamed and retreated. "Shoot him!" The Knight Commander shouted loudly, not caring that the mercenaries were cursing heartily in their hearts; bounty hunters around lifted their crossbows and strung their arrows.

Feather Arrows flew in, but Xiangzi's figure instantly turned half-shaded again, the arrows passing through him and causing the mercenaries to fall in droves. Xiangzi moved like an illusory shadow behind each mercenary; facing such unpredictable abilities, the mercenaries were terrified, retreating one after another.

"Surround him!" The Knight Commander shouted again, and all the knights unsheathed their swords, closing in.

Not far from the battlefield, Shaye blew a long whistle, watching that direction, and ordered everyone around her: "Go help him!"

Actually, even before her command, Tianlan had already rushed over with the Magic Guided Piano in her arms.

The long whistle echoed above the forest.

Hunters hidden everywhere revealed themselves from beneath the bushes, soothing the women and children hiding in the shadows while swiftly picking up their weapons and leaping out from their hiding places. "It's Miss Shaye's voice," people whispered amongst themselves, "Miss Shaye is calling us; we need to help—"

Feather Arrows flew from everywhere in the forest, and the knights who were about to advance turned around, raising their shields to block the Flying Arrows.

In the moment of distraction, Xiangzi revealed his figure once more, appearing behind a mercenary and stabbing him through with a sword. Yet, he still didn't kill him; the sword pierced below the opponent's right shoulder blade, bringing forth a fountain of blood, and the man screamed and knelt down.

Xiangzi succeeded with one strike, transforming again into a roaming shadow—yet at this moment, the Knight Commander's Divine Arts were finally complete, and a Dimensional Anchor fell, forcing Xiangzi to bounce out from the Shadow Realm passage. Seeing this, the mercenaries all shouted and rushed aggressively in this direction.

But Xiangzi stopped calmly, parrying a mercenary's curved blade slicing toward him, the slender sword edge like a silver line, cutting through the curved blade, splitting it in two as if slicing paper. The man was dumbfounded, watching the sword edge stab toward his throat—

That moment was swift to the peak, yet within Xiangzi's perception, it was as slow as time flowing through an hourglass. He even slightly tilted his head, withdrawing his hand, diverting the sword edge, avoiding the opponent's throat, and then severed the opponent's arm with a sword.

Time resumed its flow, and the man clutched his arm, screaming as he fell backward.

In his vision, more mercenaries surged like a tidal wave from that direction.

Xiangzi raised his left hand, the black glove flashed with silver light, and with a forceful tug, a tremendous roar echoed. Under the stunned gazes of everyone, a giant pine that would require two or three people to embrace was uprooted by an invisible force and flew across.

The mercenaries were startled, immediately turning around and fleeing, yet were swept away—

Only two knights stepped forward, their Magic Guided Reactors glowing simultaneously, leaping high as if sprouted wings toward Xiangzi.

But Xiangzi raised his head, squinting slightly, sidestepping by a few millimeters to dodge the sword slashing straight down. It seemed incredibly risky, yet in Xiangzi's eyes, everything moved incredibly slow. He stepped forward, pierced through the opponent's Magic Guided Reactor with a sword, then lifted it away; the penetrating force directly tore open the knight's Magic Guided Reactor shielding, with a clatter, stripping the Magic Guided Reactor from him, scattering numerous components all over the ground.

He swung his sword back, slashing through the knight's throat, who was now defenseless in terms of Strength.

A warm droplet of blood flew out.

Xiangzi turned around once again, the sword unexpectedly ignited with purple flames, swinging a strike toward another knight, "Crow Feather Sword!" That knight was so shocked by this scene that his voice nearly changed tone, "How do you know this!?" He initially wanted to block with his sword, but seeing the flames on the sword hurriedly withdrew his sword.

But it was too late. Xiangzi had already swept across him with a sword, cutting him and his armor in half, and sent him flying. Xiangzi paused slightly, looking at his sword in surprise, not expecting it to have such power.

However, after killing these two knights, he did not advance further. Instead, he glanced at the Knight Commander, then turned back to continue walking toward those mercenaries. The Knight Commander involuntarily took a step back, but unlike the terrified mercenaries, he finally saw something.

He increasingly sensed something was wrong; initially, his subordinates could at least trade a blow with the opponent, but now, they couldn't even touch the edge. The opponent's Speed had reached a terrifying level, seeming to leave a blood-colored afterimage behind even when walking.
