Chapter 176 Liang Hui: I’m Back in Tuzhou

Chapter 176: Chapter 176 Liang Hui: I’m Back in Tuzhou

In order to compete for the position of elder, he had made a firm decision to kill his enemy and ascend to power.

Unexpectedly, he reaped no rewards.

"Nothing?"

A playful laugh echoed in the ears of the middle-aged man.

Suddenly, a golden-red sword light appeared, its brilliance so dazzling it seemed to steal all the light in the world.

It swept towards the man with deadly intent.

By the time the sword light entered the man’s field of vision, it had already pierced through his chest.

Rip!

There was no gush of bright red blood, just faint powder drifting from the wound.

The man in the silver robe opened his mouth as his form turned to powder, vanishing between heaven and earth.

A top-tier powerful individual at the True Realization Realm had just fallen like this.

Liang Hui leisurely retracted the Taoist Sword in his hand, looking down at the mess on the ground.

He then turned into a streak of sword light, speeding away towards the north.

From beginning to end, what worried him most were not the assassins from all directions, but the Primordial Spirit warriors from Jiaozhou, who could leave their position at any moment.

He had to completely shake off his pursuers or leave Great Chu, which had become a vortex of conflict, before their return.

Indeed, he was preparing to return to the Great Zhou, to Tuzhou.

However, there was one last problem to solve before going back.

Wrapped in the sword light, a grave and murderous look flashed in Liang Hui’s eyes.

It was the Chu Army arranged on the borders of Jingzhou and Tuzhou, among which there were bound to be warriors with Qi-Blood and those at the Entry Dao Level.

Given his current situation, dealing with them was still troublesome.

If he could break through to the Blood Changing stage, the situation would be much easier.

But with the Qi-Blood as thick as it was, he might break through on his own in the midst of battle, which would definitely be even more dangerous.

He halted the thoughts swirling in his mind.

Liang Hui urged his mana, rushing on his way with full force.

For two days and nights, the young man did not stop for a moment, except for the necessary restoration of his mana.

During that time, he also encountered some Star Moon Tower disciples aiming to block him, all of whom he easily slayed.

The dawn broke with the early morning sun rising.

A majestic fortress lay upon the ground like a giant beast, emanating a dangerous aura.

This was the largest fortress on the border of Jingzhou and Tuzhou, whose strength had diminished a lot with Chu Nation’s incursion into Tuzhou.

But it was still strong.

At that moment, a golden-red streak of sword light appeared at the edge of the sky.

With a long tail of flame, it sped towards the fortress, its fierce momentum unchanging.

"Stop! Do you not know what this place is?"

An angry roar, along with a figure soaring into the sky, came through.

The figure was wrapped in bright yellow Inner Strength, with a Blood Tiger roaring over its head.

Slice!

A cold voice emanated from the young man.

The already dazzling sword light grew even more brilliant, sending out a golden-red streak over ten meters long, slashing swiftly.

Under the extreme speed, it almost instantaneously struck the soaring figure.

There was not even an instant of struggle.

The Blood Tiger howled sorrowfully as the bright yellow Inner Strength vanished in a flash, and the bisected corpse fell from the sky drenched in blood.

After slaying a Martial Artist who had accomplished the Blood Changing feat.

Liang Hui, enshrouded in sword light, continued his flight toward the north.

In the span of a few breaths, he had already arrived in the middle of the fortress, about to leave the blockade behind.

"Sir, isn’t killing an officer without a word too excessive?"

"Kill anyone who blocks my path!"

A severe voice came through.

Liang Hui stretched out his hand, and another dazzling sword light slashed out, aiming at the source of the voice.

"How dare you!"

A hand made of purple mist formed from the fortress, intercepting the sword light.

Hisss! Hisss! Hisss!

The sword light was cut into by the hand, then rapidly corroded until it extinguished.

For the first time, the youth stopped.

His lips curled into a smirk as he lifted his hand lightly.

Sword lights filled the sky behind him, sword qi soaring to the heavens.

"I’m looking forward to your decision, unknown powerful one."

"Kill!"

Endless sword lights fell like raindrops, stabbing towards the entire fortress.

In that moment, whether soldiers or generals within the fortress, all looked up at the sky.

The radiance of the sword lights was dazzling and enchanting, yet it carried a bone-chilling murderous intent.

"Impressive courage, impressive resolve."

Amidst a roar,

A huge purple palm violently dispersed, turning into a hazy smoke that enveloped the fortress, attempting to block all the sword lights.

Sizzle! Sizzle!...

Sword lights collided with the smoke, a continuous corrosion sound echoing.

And Liang Hui seized the chance to bypass the fortress.

He turned around!

Looking at the smoke that still persisted under the sword rain.

His face wore an even bigger smile, his hand reached out, and the Red Cloud Dao Sword appeared in his palm.

Held aloft.

He suddenly brought it down with a fierce chop!

An expanse of sword lights thunderously fell.

They were incredibly brilliant, incredibly sharp, as if they were the only thing in the world.

And with such a strike, Liang Hui didn’t even look at the result, turning into a sword light and speeding off into the distance.

He faintly heard a massive roar and a wretched scream.

....

The vast desert.

A streak of sword light crossed the sky, with sword lights occasionally falling, slashing towards the ground.

With each slash, there came tragic screams.

Patches of blood, like red blossoms, bloomed across the desert.

It added a touch of bloodiness to the already malignant desert.

Three days since leaving the fortress, a large number of small and medium-sized fortresses have been continuously blocking his way.

It was clear they knew of the carnage he had wrought.

In the end, it didn’t even require their intervention; Liang Hui would slay any Chu Nation soldiers or officers he encountered.

Under such circumstances, Liang Hui had fought his way here from within the territory of Jingzhou.

As long as he crossed this desert, he would be back in Tuzhou.

Suddenly, the advancing sword light halted.

His gaze was cold as he looked at the two figures appearing in the swirling sands.

Each of them exuded a powerful aura, that of Entry Dao Level martial artists.

In such a scenario, Liang Hui had no intention of clashing head-on.

After all, he was still at the Lifebound Level and had not yet achieved True Realization. Fighting against those at the Entry Dao Level, he was somewhat outmatched.

The sword light shifted, heading in the direction of Jingzhou.

"Stop there, rebel!"

"Mo! You have nowhere to run."

The two figures continued to chase after Liang Hui.

But the young man’s sword light, after all, was just a bit faster than the two pursuers, who could never quite catch up.

The pursuit lasted an hour.

In the shadows, Liang Hui began to subtly change direction.

Unknowingly, the three of them were positioned with the two powerful ones to the south, and the young man to the north, creating a scene of pursuit and flight.

He slowly pulled out his war chariot from within his clothes, leaped on, and drove it with all his might.

The war chariot instantly turned into golden light, disappearing from sight at a speed far surpassing the two strong pursuers.

Standing on the war chariot, Liang Hui, sensing the mana continuing to deplete from within his body, wore a look of helplessness.

This magic artifact consumed too much energy.

Otherwise, if he had driven the war chariot from the start, how many could have caught up with him?

The desert flew by under his feet, and gradually a hint of brown appeared at the edge of his vision.

As he approached, Liang Hui’s face slowly revealed a smile.

He had returned, bringing back a greater power, having survived Chu Nation.

But it wasn’t time to be careless yet, for this place was still under the control of Chu Nation.
